Overall Great RoboVac
on October 26, 2018
Posted by: hollywoodfrodo
from Lakewood, CA
The Powerbot has worked great for us and seems to be on par with others in its class. I love the intelligent mapping so that it doesn't go over the same spot a million times like my previous dumber robovac did. The suction power seems very adequate. We have all hard floors and have only used the normal suction power - it gets so much dust and pet hair, it's hard to believe. I especially love the easy of removing the dust bin and cleaning it out as well as the fact that I can wash the filter so it's really simple to keep the vacuum working at its optimal level. Running the vacuum from the vac itself or the remote is simple and connecting it to Wifi and then the Smartthings app wasn't too hard either. Unfortunately, we have not been able to use it with Alexa. This is due to Alexa only being able to connect to one smarthings account. We already linked our smarthings hub to Alexa which is in my account. However, we set this Powerbot up in my spouse's account and we can't link his account also to Alexa and so we can't use it with Alexa. I was also disappointed that for this price point and since it is Wifi enabled, you can only set it up to come on at the same time every day and not create a more specific schedule like having it come on at different times on different days of the week or not at all on others. The noise level is moderate - it's not quiet enough that I would want it running while watching a movie, but not so loud that it bothers us if we're just doing stuff around the house. Overall it does what it's meant to do very well and is great at getting right up against the walls and making sure ever spot gets vacuumed. It keeps our floors so much cleaner than they would be without it!

Looks Nice But Not the Most Comfortable
on October 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This band looks great when I want to appear dressy. However, it is much heavier than other bands and not the most comfortable and a bit of a chore to work around for charging the watch. Still, I'm glad I bought and am happy with it as an alternative selection for a band.

Awesome Google Home Alternative

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product has exceeded my expectations. It works just as well as the 3 Google Homes I own. I love that it displays the time. The touch controls for increasing/decreasing volume are easy to use. The sound is great for the price. I mostly leave it in one place plugged in but love that I have to option to let it run on the built in battery for several hours if I want. Overall an excellent product and a great price!

Display and recharge your Fire HD 10 tablet with this Amazon show mode charging dock. The adjustable stand provides a convenient viewing position, and it comes with a USB cable and power adapter for versatile connectivity. The included case perfectly fits your tablet and is easy to attach and remove from this magnetic Amazon show mode charging dock.

Good idea but fails in execution
By APFLORES413 from Los Angeles
I love my Fire 10. Using Alexa on it has been a joy. The problem was, I was using the Amazon Folio Case and it is not ideal for certain table tops. So, in comes the Show Mode Dock for your Fire Tablet. I was intrigued at first and after using it for a week, I was really disappointed at the execution.
The design is great. You save room on your table top and the base is very sturdy for a tablet the size of the Fire 10. The shell that comes with the Show Mode can be used as another thin case when you decide to take your Fire in your hands.
Where I have issues is that there are tiny magnets at the bottom where you slide the shell onto the base. This is where it charges your Fire Tablet. It is also very easy to knock it off the charge. This happened a lot as everyone in my house would bump into the table it was resting on.
My biggest issue was that the Fire has a really bad battery life to begin with, having it constantly plugged into the Dock for charging would kill the battery even more. I noticed at least a 25% fast drain on my battery since I purchased this.
Again, I love the idea but not a good idea for your Fire Tablet. I recommend just using your tablet AS A TABLET.

This is not based on fact...
April 16, 2019
The comment "having it constantly plugged into the Dock for charging would kill the battery even more" is based on old school battery technology from 10 years ago. Today's Lithium Ion batteries actually do better staying charged than not and having the tablet constantly charging should have no affect on the overall battery life, at least more than 1-5% tops over the course of a couple of years.

Where to get replacement Aux to USB-C Cord for using case as Transmitter? Have tried many standard USC-C to Aux cords and they do not work and LG website doesn't have them and their customer service knows nothing about this cord.

Can I connect this device to power every time like Alexa instead of charging and use wireless?

Yes. That's how I use mine. Having the battery is a "bonus" for me if I want to take it somewhere else, but mostly it sets on my dresser plugged in 24/7.
