Giving your clothes the care they deserve doesn~t have to be complicated. This washer features built-in intelligence that takes out the guesswork, using AI technology and advanced sensors to detect fabric texture and load size to automatically select the perfect settings. Activate Smart Pairing in the ThinQ app, and the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack. Using the app, you can even start the washer or check remaining cycle time from anywhere to save time and simplify laundry day. Asthma or allergies a concern? Select the Allergiene cycle that uses the gentle power of steam to reduce common household allergens in bedding, baby clothes and more. Durable and stylish tempered glass door with white or silver accents adds the perfect finish.

So far so good, just set it up and used it for first time. Battery life seems good. Got most of 1400 sq ft house laminate flooring with some area rugs, done on one battery with mix of turbo and normal speeds. Nice and light weight. Having no cord is a game changer. Loving the stand and the extra battery. Charges both at same time in the stand. Time will tell on durability. Got it on sale, probably wouldn't bought it for current price though.

Hopefully adding the subwoofer will make it better. The soundbar arrived a day earlier than the sub, thanks to a UPS delay. Both items were supposed to arrive today So I decided to try it out without the subwoofer and so far am underwhelmed. It really is no better than my bose cinemate 15 from 6 years ago. If sub does not make it better, its going back, no way worth $1000 more than what I had.

Watch TV or stream content from Netflix and Hulu with this LG 50-inch UHD smart TV. The robust quad-core processor ensures a gorgeous 4K picture and reduces video noise, while webOS makes it easy to connect to online streaming platforms. This LG 50-inch UHD smart TV is slim and features a barely there edge around the screen for maximum viewing area.

Picture not very good
By JimW from Massachusetts, USA
This is the 2nd LG I purchased, the first was a 55 inch 6300. Neither has IPS display and both had poor picture until you turn off auto-dimming. Still, the colors and flesh tones were not right and off-angle viewing was poor. I spent quite a bit of time adjusting the picture and it was still unsatisfactory so I returned it.
With the help of Robert, the in-store "LG expert", I decided to buy the 49SK8000PUA for considerably more money. The picture and overall build quality on that model is MUCH better. Off angle viewing is much better too. (Our plasma was better but it died.) We will keep that model, assuming nothing goes wrong.
A complaint with both models is it is very hard to wall mount because the connections are facing back instead of sideways. I can't connect the HDMI on the back and have to use the side. Also the side USB is very hard to get to and it would be hard to add a HDMI from the side temporarily hooked to a laptop. The side connectors should be easier to reach when wall mounted. I also need the component video for my dvd player and had to buy right angle adapters to get the cables to squeeze in.

By Brian from Weymouth
I bought this tv a little more than one year , I spent 480$ to get it , it was perfect until a week ago when the screen just froze, and remote won’t do anything, hisense won’t help now because of one year warranty.
Terrible experience I will never ever buy a hisense product anymore, and I will never recommend it to someone

wrong pod kit sent with this
By Chuck
Well the description is wrong or they sent me wrong item. We got the herb kit instead of the salad kit. Was looking forward to salad kit since we live in Florida and growing lettuce in hot sun can be a challenge. Will update review once this grows something we want. Don't really need the herbs, two different basils, thyme, mint, parsley and dill.

box lableled wrong.
April 30, 2021
well believe or not, the box said it had the herb pods in it but when we finally got around to opening it, the salad kit was inside the box. Oh well, i guess the outside of the box was wrong. This was after we order 6 more lettuce pods from amazon for it. Oh well, hopefully we will have plenty of lettuce for a while now. Looks like good quality.. Best Buy wont let me update the review, but I'd raise it to 5 now.

Fast desktop / system errors causing black screen
By DOUGM
The computer is fast & meets my needs for office /web use. Primarily use MS Office products & email.
Unfortunately there are intermittent issues causing monitor to go to black screen & reset a few seconds later. Unsure if this is caused by RMD graphics or Windows 11. It’s a common problem based on what I’ve researched on the web. Problem occurred intermittently for 2 weeks and I was going to return, but then the issues went away for a week. But now the black screen issue is back again.

Beware. Black Screen & Freezes Right Out of Box
By AndrewG
Had this PC black screen on me and freeze up multiple times right out of the box. No programs were installed at that point, just tried loading up gmail on the web browser. I only kept this for a few days after purchasing but I had nothing but trouble. Multiple black screen instances with wait times ranging from a few seconds to 10 minutes for everything to come back. Beware. I "upgraded" to this PC from the lower tier of the HP OmniDesk Desktop only to have worse issues than the cheaper, lower spec PC. Purchased a gaming PC for $40.00 more and no looking back.

Wi-Fi 6 technology has redefined home WiFi. Experience faster speeds, higher capacity, and reduced congestion overall compared to the previous AC Wi-Fi 5 standard. The Archer AX20 dual-band router reaches speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps, for a buffer-free 4K/HD streaming and gaming experience. With more and more devices in your home, your current router will likely begin to slow down. Archer AX20 uses Beamforming technology and 4 antennas to adapt and focus WiFi signals to your devices far away for stronger, more reliable coverage. Using Target Wake Time (TWT), your router talks to your devices and negotiates when and how frequently they should transfer data to increase device sleep time, extending battery life. The Archer AX20 works with all previous WiFi standards and all WiFi-enabled devices. Setup in minutes with Tether app.
 

Does this device support MU-MIMO to wireless AC devices ? The product description says OFDM and that’s only for WiFi 6 devices. There is no mention of MU MIMO in the specifications or in the settings of this device with current firmware.
