This keyboard reminds me almost exactly of my Apple iMacs wired keyboard but it's wireless and for Microsoft Windows. I absolutely love this keyboard the second I took it out of the box I was like HECK YES. For $80 this is an excellent value and also if the batteries really do last even 6 months I"ll be satisfied. Microsoft is claiming up to 12 months. That's impressive. The feel is the same as an Apple keyboard but actually the keys themselves are nicer to type on.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Worked great and never had any problems with it. I did end up needing to upgrade to a USB-C to HDMI cable eventually with the new Macs that came out but worked while it lasted. Now it's in the garbage because I have no use for it. If you need one of these it works great.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

Overpriced
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This mouse is over priced in my opinion. I hate reviewing products on price but I returned this because I just did not see how it was worth $100. The wireless sensitivity felt wonky and just was not very responsive or accurate. I felt like it over traveled a lot and just was bad in general. To each his own but if you're a gamer or doing lots of clicking that requires precision like working with text documents or doing things like that good luck this thing is pretty inaccurate when using wireless.

NOT A BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD

from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good keyboard for use with a PC or something you can plug a USB dongle into but this IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH ANDROID AND IOS LIKE IT SAYS. It uses a 2.4 ghz connection it does not have bluetooth capability. I got all the way home then realized this thing does not have bluetooth. I ended up purchasing the Logitech - K830 from BestBuy and it was much better anyways for only $35 more.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This might sound weird but this power strip actually looks good and matches my rooms ambiance. It's a theater vibe with movie theater grey walls and grayish blonde carpet and it actually looks good over in the corner. It also works to power all of my devices and gives me peace of mind knowing it has a surge protector built in. I have a power mattress, air conditioner, Insignia Google Assistant and a nightstand lamp plugged into it and no problems.

Awesome and Fun
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This air fryer is so much fun to use and so easy to clean. It makes cooking stuff not only easier but less costly. For example if you want to bake some pizza rolls or something simple like that you can throw them in this for ~10 minutes and have perfect crispy rolls without having to heat up your whole oven and burn a ton of propane for a few rolls or run your 1000 watt microwave and have mushy food.
For the price, quality and overall use this thing is totally worth it and worth the 5 stars!
P.S I've been using this fryer at least once a week for the last few months with no issues at all and it's still like new.

Quality mouse pad at a fair price

Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This mouse pad is a mouse pad. It works good and seems to be one of the only pads that doesn't start peeling or having weird issues after a few months. I usually buy a new one of these once a year and that's coming from a heavy daily user. The pads can last much longer but why would you, it's cloth, don't be gross, go get yourself a new clean mouse pad!

Great sound bar despite what the Sales Rep said
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
To begin I was in the market for a wall mountable sound bar with no sub woofer. I wanted a 2.0 system to replace my previously bulky and cobbled up 2.1 system that was taking up a large amount of floor space and also disturbing people trying to sleep in my house.
I had a sales rep that literally said, and I quote "If you're listening with your wallet, sure go with this one." and tried to talk me into getting this LG 2.1 system that was on sale. Literally making me have an expectation and gut feeling that I wasted my money as I was driving home.
I set this up in literally 10 minutes screws and all using the template included and hardware included. I also used hand tools, I didn't even need a drill. I powered it up and turned Netflix on. As I slowly upped the volume I was already amazed by the quality even at like 20% volume. At 50% volume this thing really pumps out sound. I would say it is literally 20 times better than any built in TV speakers even on a higher end $500+ TV.
This really is a quality product that I do not regret purchasing at all. I now have a very sleek wall mounted TV & audio system setup that I can be proud of and now I vacuum that corner and walk over there without bumping into speakers or having a mess over there. It really opened up the room and made the presentation of my room/office a lot more modern, comfortable and spacious.
If you don't need lots of bass and want a good quality sound bar for around $100 or less then go for this. I wouldn't hesitate buying another. If you're someone that needs bass or wants bass but still want a sound bar configuration then you should definitely spend more around the ~$250 mark and get something that has larger speakers and a wireless sub woofer. I know bestbuy carries a Samsung and JBL flavor of these. Just to be real Samsung would be my best bet for quality and also customer support. They don't ever half you know what their products.
I almost wanted to say it's a bit over priced but really thinking about it and looking at the other offerings it's very fairly priced for what you get.

Excellent Speaker & Assistant! Life changer!
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: Calvin
from Lennon, MI
I love this thing. I normally don't post reviews but I had to! I bought this a few months ago and it works amazing. I love that its' an assistant that tells you the time and most importantly it DISPLAYS IT! Most assistants are only a speaker and you have to talk to them to get results back instead of just looking at it. Not with this!
I use this every night to listen to Spotify, one of my favorite things is you just say "Hey Google, play x playlist or x song." I usually play a playlist called "Atmospheric Calm" on Spotify at bedtime and then I say "Hey Google, stop playing in 35 minutes" or "Hey Google, sleep in 35 minutes" where it will actually stop playing in 35 minutes, by then I'm fast asleep and the speaker stops playing. THIS WAS A GAME CHANGER. I no longer watch TV to get to sleep, I listen to calming music and it automatically cuts itself off by the time I kick into deep sleep. All lights out and eyes closed with relaxing beats. You can also do "Hey Google, shuffle" and it will start shuffling a playlist or your music starting the next song.
ONE DOWNSIDE: The "Alarm" sound on this thing really is too quiet and relaxing. It uses the volume you have the device set at to play the alarm and there is no way to make the alarm play at 100% volume like any android or Apple (iOS) Device would. Before my sleep schedule was fixed I was not being woken up by this thing and was late to work a couple times. Very embarrassing. "Hey supervisor, my new alarm isn't good enough to wake me up", yeah, not fun..
SOLUTION TO DOWNSIDE: Instead of using the default alarm, what I will do is "Hey Google, SET A MUSIC ALARM." it will ask what time and what to play, I'll say something like "9 AM, ACDC" and it will play ACDC loud, just make sure that you set your volume up a bit. THe music even at like 60 volume will wake me up with certain songs but the default alarm sound is really weak and calming where it will not wake a medium/heavy sleeper up.
OVERALL:
For the money this is a very high quality speaker that puts out good sound up close. Once you get into bigger rooms and jack the volume up you will start to hear some distortion and also some "dulling" of notes or tangy highs and muffled lows.

1 out of 5Died in 48 days - Bad Quality Control
By Redhead
Purchased on 12/30/2016 and died on 2/17/2017. This keyboard died randomly and stops allowing keys to be pressed with shift key on the right shift key with the underscore.
Problem is it's nice if it's your sort of thing. However, if you have any issues it's expensive. It has AAA batteries which requires a cost repetitively and the power button has bad placement.
I really liked the keyboard but it's comical at best to troubleshoot a keyboard for close to two hours (granted Microsoft Support is non-existent and just asked for useless information repeatedly or for you to reboot a computer). I'm technical and even for me the more rediculous troubleshooting wasn't able to fix the odd errors I had as it's a faulty product.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as it's super expensive, not practical and there's better options across the board (I really like it) but this keyboard is not designed to last (it's not like I'm hammering away on the thing either).

3 out of 5Great concept
By OllieQueen
Loved the concept of only having one machine but the reality wasn't exactly what I expected. The machine worked if you have 3 hours to devote to one load of laundry. You can't use the dryer without a 20 minute spin cycle first which is annoying. If you want to dry anything quickly this is not going to work for you. You can't fill the machine more than half full either so you cant take advantage of the large size either. Things I liked were the ventless machine and the fact it runs on 110 volt power rather than 240 volt. There were lots of settings to pick from too. Overall it's okay if you're good with waiting for each load.

I like the concept as well although the unit has far too many functions and confusing options to choose from. I'm 25 years old and feel like they WAY over complicated the units functionality. I returned it and ordered a washer & dryer separate units so I wouldn't have to wait half a day for a large load of laundry to be finished and just come out all wrinkled up and weird smelling.

1 out of 5Faulty Monitor
By CatCity
I will start off by saying I'm a big fan of LG Ultra Wides, and am using the older version of this monitor right now, and have had no problems with it over the last 2 years. However, this particular monitor I am having problems with. I purchased this for my office, and it worked fine for about about 3 weeks, and then all the sudden the screen started messing up, things got fuzzy, and it appeared as if there was a very big crack across the screen... except their wasn't. I ran my fingers over the place that appears to be damaged, and it's not damaged at all, it's just a defective monitor. If you look at my picture, it looks like the glass is cracked, but it's not. Fortunately, I am still in the period where I can return or replace this... I'm likely going to replace it, because I've had such good luck with LG monitors over the years, but I am really disappointed in this one.

Could this be used as a baby monitor? Wondering if it would play continuous on the echo for night time use to monitor a baby.
The Blink systems aren't good for monitoring they are really only good for recording motion to be honest.. They have a 4-6 second delay on the live stream and you can only watch live stream for so long then there is a delay between the clips being uploaded & processed by the camera(s).
Hope that helps. I'd buy an actual baby monitor camera. They can be found for around $100 for a good one.

Will this device work in Manila, Philippines where the power outlet is 220v? Will the online viewing work as well?
Yes the power block that comes with the sync module is 110/220v according to their website and my personal experience. Most devices will be able to handle up to 270 volts these days just gotta look at the power block for it.
Hope that helps. I use the Blink XT2 outdoor cameras and the Blink Mini Cameras indoors.
Warning: Make sure that you confirm with Blink that these cameras can work with the Blink Servers in Manila. I know there were people saying that the Blink systems aren't allowed in United Kingdom or wouldn't work with the servers or something like that..

Will this detect outdoor motion through a window?
I do not recommend using any surveillance camera through a window because it disables the night vision from working due to the glass reflecting the Infared Light back at the camera basically blinding it. My advice is purchase the Blink XT2 outdoor units for that type of surveillance.
