If they work they're great!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to like these so much. I bought two for my nieces to play with. They both stopped working, one within a few minutes of being assembled. I purchased them on sale for $35, which is why I'm even giving them three starts, because if they DO work, even once, its a very cool product. Hopefully the company fixes the electrical issues, because these have so much potential.

Cell phone batteries never last long enough, and it makes phone charging throughout the day a chore. Trying to find and connect the right cable in the right direction can be frustrating. The Insignia NS-MWPC10KTP 10 W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad for Android/iPhone (2 Pack) makes charging fast and easy. Just place your smartphone, tablet or other Qi-compatible device on the pad when you need extra power. Its wireless, low-profile design eliminates cumbersome cords and offers versatile placement options. The LED indicator shows the charge status of your device, and a 4 ft. charge cable and USB adapter power your charging pad. This 2-pack lets you place wireless chargers wherever you need them most.

Cheap and Efficient

Worth it for the price. The two pack is already a plus, allowing you to put multiple around the house. For the price I may order again. Charges a little slower than some other models, but they're cheap and easy to throw wherever you don't want a cord dangling. Best if they're placed in a location where you might leave your phone sitting for a while, like an end table when you're watching TV, or bedside.

Great Movie. Worth the purchase.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Such a great movie. I enjoy 80s/90s Schwarzenegger movies and this one does not disappoint. In addition to the UHD disc (4K), you also get the regular Blu-Ray (1080), and the digital copy, which as of December 2022 was valid for redemption. Code can be redeemed through Apple TV, which means you can rest assured knowing your digital copy will also be in 4K. The 4K resolution is also nice, given that this is a 90s movie.

Great movie

Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed this movie a lot, as with most Disney animations. Watch a trailer of the film to see if you'd like it too. As for the SteelBook aspect (as compared to other releases), the SteelBook is a great value when you can catch it on sale. The SteelBook comes with the 4k UDH Blu-ray, which has a great picture, but also comes with a 1080p Blu-ray for older devices. Best of all, this includes a digital copy that you can register with your services like Vudu, Movies Anywhere, and Apple Movies (previously iTunes). The digital copy is in 4k where available, so it is a great option if you do not have a 4k UHD Blu-ray player, but do have a 4k streaming device, like AppleTV, Roku, or Amazon Fire Stick.

Great TV Service

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a huge fan of Sling. While many of the other streaming companies continue to raise their prices, Sling has maintained their lower costs. However, sling continues to add channels that would be considered more premium, and have different options based on whether you like sports or entertainment, or both. In addition, Sling integrates with AirTV to provide broadcast stations in the Sling app. However, to my knowledge, the AirTV feature is only available on the app and Roku devices.

Its compact form can fit the smallest of spaces, and its simple plug-in installation means you'll have peace of mind in no time.

Cheap and effective

A ring camera for $59 is already a great deal. This camera is smaller than the previous stickup model but has a great picture and more advanced functionality that earlier models with motion sensing zones. While the battery operated cameras are good for convenience in placement, having a power cord allows a "set it and forget it" setup. I have this camera pretty far away from my router, and the signal and picture show up just fine (though everyone's situation may vary depending on different variables such as wall material, etc.). The only negative about this is the cord length; there isn't much extra slack, so you better be prepared to mount it right above the outlet if you plan on mounting it higher on a wall.

Small computer with a lot of power
on March 10, 2021
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
A solid machine for a great price. I bought this item open box to use for work, and it worked perfectly. While it holds a small form factor, it packs a good punch. Though not its intended purpose, it fits inside my work briefcase so I take it home with me so I always have access to the computer when I need it, which is great when working from home. As a reminder, this comes with the computer and power cord only, so you'll need to supply your own keyboard, mouse, and monitor, but it's great to use with spares laying around the house.

Bring your favorite varietals back to their natural state with the ~llo wine purifier. It uses Selective Sulfite Capture technology to rid any still wine of sulfites and other impurities and has a built-in adjustable aerator to release aromas and smooth out flavors. The ~llo wine purifier comes with four single-bottle filters, a display case and handy travel bag.
 

What does it do for the wine

The filters that this product uses capture the sulfates in the wine, which is what typically gives people headaches shortly after drinking the wine.

Enjoy fast internet speeds with this Motorola router. It supports speeds up to 686 Mbps downstream and 123 Mbps upstream for fast data transfer, and its dual-band Wi-Fi delivers fast wireless access by broadcasting on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. This Motorola router includes guest network access, letting visitors browse the internet while keeping your personal local network secure.
 

what else do i need to to buy to connect this to my xfinity internet i have

This is a combination router and modem. Essentially, just connect the threaded coax cable to the back of this unit, follow directions to setup the router portion, then just call Comcast to associate the modem with their service (they'll ask you model number and MAC address, which is on the unit).

Smart security you can trust. See who~s at the door and monitor your home when you~re not there with this video doorbell. The 2-way audio lets you listen and talk to anyone on your property, right from your mobile device. Plus, you can easily recharge the battery with the included power pack.
 

I want to install the Ring doorbell 2 connected to Alexa Echo Show using the battery only rather than hardwired. How will I know someone is ringing the doorbell? Will there be a sound in the house?

The app will let you select notifications. My Echo Show 5 announces that someone is at the door.

Will the Ring work with an Apple 6S ?

Yes, I use it with mine.

Does the ring doorbell have to be used in the present doorbells spot ?

No, these doorbells are battery operated. I actually have an older one I use on my patio to check on my plants while I'm away. It can be mounted almost anywhere (unless you are using the doorbell's wiring for power).

This one-way adapter allows you to connect HDMI devices to Legacy devices with this Insignia HDMI to RCA converter. Its HDMI inputs let you connect any newer devices to older TV~s and devices that use RCA connectors. This Insignia HDMI to RCA converter comes with an AC power supply that is needed for proper operation.
 

What adapter goes from DVD/tape player, with red, yellow and white ends, to my new Smart TV?

You'd need to purchase an RCA to HDMI converter.

Use this Rocketfish 2-Output HDMI Splitter with 4K at 60Hz and HDR Pass-Through to create two outputs with one HDMI signal. It has a plug-and-play interface with no setup necessary, and it has full 4K and HDR compatibility to accommodate the latest visual displays. This Rocketfish HDMI splitter retains the sound and image quality of the original input.
 

Will it switch fire stick &blueray player on my new Samsung 65 inch series 7 tv

No, this is only a splinter that takes 1 output from a device (like a computer or Blu-Ray player), and sends the signal to 2 different TVs/Monitors. You'd need an HDMI selector/switch to switch between output devices.

Im looking to use with laptop. will it work to take laptop HDMI output and extend to (2) external monitors that will show separate screens?

No, this will just give you two identical streams. If your computer only has one video output, you can always add on an external video card.

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos~. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN~. And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.
 

I want to run an app off of my Iphone on to a Samsung computer monitor in my bedroom, it is for a stationary cycling app called Zwift. I would also like to connect it to my big tv in the living room so I can watch Apple TV programs, is this possible?

Depending on the computer monitor, yes. I have my Apple TV connected to a 1920x1080 Dell computer monitor in my bedroom, and my Samsung TV in the Den. To connect this to a computer monitor, check what input the monitor has, if it has HDMI then you're good to go. If it uses DVI or VGA, just purchase a connector/converter (BestBuy should have them). If you want to display it to 2 monitors, just buy an HDMI switch or HDMI splitter, but remember, the signal will be the same, so it will display in the lower resolution (My TV is 4K, but I have to display it at 1080p so I can also get the signal on the Dell monitor in my bedroom). One more note, you may also need another source for audio if you're using a computer monitor.
