Great followup to Ralph and Penelope

Disney does it again with a sequel that stands on its own. The story is fresh and fun, and the inner fun with other Disney movies is well developed. Hard to really grasp how the Academy didn't view this or the Incredible's 2 as better than the Spider Verse. If you want at great movie, this is a good choice.

Great cable

Seems that there are never enough cables, and over time the connector ends can and do get fouled up. Actual certified cables seem to be a better bet then the super inexpensive options. And these cables have been great so far.

For the SiriusXM lover - this is a great Gift!

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you know a Sirius XM listener, these gift cards are a great gift - simple and to the point, and though you can buy them from Sirius directly, that is mail order or electronic - no actual goodie. And at least with BestBuy, you can earn reward points for the purchase too.

Fun Accessory - but needs longer strap

This fits great on my daughters hand or my wife's but my hands are a bit too big across, so I can't get the velcro to attach as expected - will likely sew on an extra inch to make it work.

Great Accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
The GoPro 7 is astounding - but like all electronics, it needs power. Extra batteries are a must, and this is slick and efficient charger. Attached to a battery pack, I keep this in my pocket so the extra batteries are ready to go - and I can swap a drained one for a new one, and start the charge up again while yet a third remains ready.

Power in a Small Package

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am an audiophile - I have a home theater that is in a class by itself, so a stand alone speaker doesn't strike me as something that could be impressive - but this one is. My daughter wanted a smart speaker for Christmas so I took a chance as everything else is Apple in the house. And this HomePod is amazing - the sound quality is impressive. And the Siri functionality is more fun than you get on your iPhone - Siri can't obviously give you a webpage "here is what I found..." so she tells you stuff. And you can control HomeKit items like lights. "Hey Siri, Turn my light On / Green / Blue / Dim" - our Daughter is having great fun with this.

Amazing headphones
on January 17, 2019
Posted by: dan28088

Verified Purchase:Yes
Air travel is not what it use to be - crowds, less space, fewer amenities, etc... These headphones provide a bit of much needed escape and respite from the chaos of travel - they are amazing. You can watch your movie or listen to music without having it blasting. Used at home they are an opportunity to drop into a world of seclusion - cut out the background and focus on just what is at hand. Yes, I would recommend these headphones.

Overall
1 out of 5
1 out of 5Buggy is an understatement
By dan28088
Great concept - except that Netgear brought this version of the Orbi Mesh to market too soon. The Parental Controls, Security and other features that you see when you visit the Apple App Store to download the app??? They DO NOT EXIST - and there is no clear time line for when they will appear. Netgear support said 2 to 3 weeks possible on one call, and on another that there was a no projected date.
But it goes down hill from there. I have a web server and run my own email server - no real issue setting up port forwarding, but reliability is another thing.
With only about 4 products on the Orbi network things seemed fine, but when I migrated the house they got bad.
Devices on ethernet started to have issues reliably connecting to mail, and the Router started to blink Purple from time to time (that means it is having a problem). Resetting it worked - but only for a little while and then problems again.
My iPhone 11 which had been the original test device started to have issues just opening USATODAY, and if I was in one story and hit backup, the whole app would freeze or reset to the top of the main page.
The web based login (Orbilogin.com) hates Safari - if there is any significant change it wants to reset the access password, annoying to say the least. You can resolve this by blowing away the history every time you make an update, but that is a bit extreme as well as annoying. Firefox was a better option for configuration.
But the real issue seemed to be that with some 60+ devices connected it had issues - on the nice side, you only have to specify one SSID, and it will auto detect and share for old devices and new ones. This is pretty important if you have a lot of WEMO switches and Hue devices, not to mention Nest - smoke detectors and thermostats.
I thought I would simply wait out the firmware update and App update, but less than a day into the full migration my email on my primary system (iMac Pro 2019 maxed version) started to fail. Exact same settings on my MacBook Pro 2018 were fine. But access to websites was hit and miss, as well as the Purple Light.
For a few hours the system also had a mysterious Satellite - under the legitimate one that came in the box was another - XEROX CORPORATION ... MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00... Wired... Orbi Router... GOOD
I don't have anything from XEROX and never have. I rest the Router and the Satellite a few times - but it continued to show up. Then it changed status to disconnected and let me delete it. Odd to say the least.
So great idea and fun speed with just the iPhone 11, but disaster for a home/office network.
Netgear support recommended the Nighthawk - but also admitted that it was slower.

Netgreart support's canned response is unhelpful
March 9, 2020
My posting reports my experiences - and from what I can see from the other postings, my concerns over Parental Controls, which are NOT currently available, have not been an issue for others.
The instability with respect to properly routing email and web requests to a server in my network are also not reported by others - presumably because no one else has tried or had issues.
Given that Netgear Customer Service clearly said that Parental Controls ARE NOT CURRENTLY Available - why on earth would I contact them again?
Your App apparently is intended to permit configuration and control of more than just the Orbi AX6000 system - yet you fail to note this as so.
If Parental Controls and the other features are indeed present, but were not enabled for some reason - then your Customer Support staff are ignorant of the solution.
The result is essentially the same - I called in for help and got none.

Convert almost any electronic device into a smart appliance with the Wemo Mini Wi-Fi smart plug. It plugs into any outlet and lets you control attached appliances via mobile devices.
1. Does it work safely outside US? 2. With 210~220 Volt outlets ? 3. if yes, is it safe to use accesories like apple homepod or ps4?
I use several smart plugs to control my Christmas lights - the newest little cubes have poor antenna and don’t work well outside. Wemo now makes an outdoor plug but have not tried one.
The plug configuration is for normal US home wiring -110/120. The plugs will not fit a 210/220 wall socket or receive the plug from such a device. If you attempt
To redo the plug on such a device it will not work.
Homepods want to be powered at all times so that they can respond to voice commands - putting it in a switch would frustrate that and each time you turn on the switch it
Would be like repligfing in the HomePod

What WiFi speed does this work with

Do these work with voice commands using Siri apples HomeKit and do I need a bridge with these
For the mini switch to work with Siri it has to be recognized in HomeKit. The new switches can show up in HomeKit before they show up in the Wemo app during the install process . But then will appear in the Wemo app once it is restarted. I have a Wemo bridge and about 16 Wemo switches, two dimmers and 15 different Wemo plugs. I am also on my third Wemo bridge. It is very annoying that the Wemo devices and bridge are so flakey - they are just fine in their own Wemo app but seem to come and go in HomeKit. I had a large collection before HomeKit was made available so I didn’t want to replace.
Yes I know how to use a web browser to visit the bridge - clear and reset it, as well as how to reset the plugs and switches. I wish there was real stability
