Excellent and Fast Service

Verified Purchase:Yes
My printer stopped working, and no matter what I did, I could not fix the problem. I called Geek Squad, and they sent someone out to help me. Jesse gave me a time, and was here when stated. He quickly reviewed the situation, tested the equipment, figured out the problem, and fixed everything within 10 - 15 minutes. What a lifesaver. Can't thank him or the Squad enough.

Excellent blender

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this mainly to make milkshakes and smoothies. I've used it to make sauces, especially fruit sauces like strawberries for shortcake. I used it to chop a few things like onions. I have not had a problem with it. It has been very easy to use and clean. It has not had any problems or issues. Cost was decent, product works well, and I am satisfied. It is a little noisy, but what do you expect. It is steady and sturdy on the counter. It was a great purchase.

This is one of the best services I've ever used. As my equipment got older, the techs would fix it, clean it, keep it running, until it wore out. People are friendly, service is great, they do what they say they will do, they are very good at fixing the tech, and they always help me. I've used online, phone, remote, in-store, and in-home service. They have all been excellent.

Expensive ink
on March 19, 2022
Posted by: Drago
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an EPSON WF4730. It is an older printer. If you use the printer, which I must do occasionally, or if you must copy, which I need to do on a more frequent schedule, it drains ink quickly. The color cartridges seem to go very quickly, and my volume is not huge. I do maybe 150 copies per month, and need to replace a cartridge about once every month or two. The ink is expensive, one of the worst prices I've seen on the market. Quality is very good, price is not nice, print quality is very good.

Good for a quick single cup of coffee
on March 19, 2022
Posted by: Drago
Verified Purchase:Yes
The machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and simple to operate. It is a one cup service machine, and you have to fill it each time to get a cup of brew. Takes a little bit of time, makes a little bit of noise, but generally a good piece of equipment. Don't expect it to do more than make you one cup of coffee or hot chocolate from one pod.

Product is okay

The product is good enough and the flavor has improved from the past. Doesn't have the real strong chocolate taste, but you can cut it with milk to make it creamier. Not excellent, not bad, but passable.

I wish I had discussed my security camera and system plans with this advisor before I purchased things and installed my system. Anthony was informed, experienced, and extremely helpful. He explained everything perfectly and gave me some suggestions and directions to fix my problems and get things back on a solid track. I will be back in touch with him. Excellent!

Excellent stand mixer
on December 22, 2021
Posted by: Drago
Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid, dependable, easy-to-use, balanced appliance. In the first two weeks, I've used this daily for mixing, whipping, and blending. I've used the whisk, the juicer, the regular paddle, and the scraper paddle. The lock-in-place handled is convenient to make sure there are no accidents. In addition, the lock-in-place makes this stand mixer easier to move and set. Power is great. Low speeds help blend things perfectly. Higher speeds help whisk things into delightful treats. Using, changing, and cleaning attachments has been easy. I've made whipped cream, cheesecake base, pie filling, dough, and a few blended liquids. No problems and no issues so far. Cleanup is easy. This was a replacement for another KitchenAid stand mixer that I had for about 15 years (the old one wore out a seal and started leaking lubricating oil - I could not fix it).
The machine is not silent, but it does not make a huge amount or excessive amount of noise. It makes a typical mixer type of noise, with less noise at lower speeds.
So far, this has been an excellent replacement and addition to my kitchen. I would buy it again.

With the integrated spotlight, see important features like faces and licenses plates in full color, at night with color night vision. Ward off unwanted guests by triggering the siren or integrated spotlight automictically or manually from the Arlo App. Receive smarter alerts for people, vehicles and packages and take quicker action like sound the siren, call a friend or dial emergency services with the included trial of Arlo Secure**.

I am planning to buy just one Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera. 1. Do I need to buy any other equipment to be able to view the LIVE video feed on my smartphone? 2. Can my smartphone be the only device to view the LIVE feed from the camera?

Yes, I can view one camera live on just my cell phone. Without a base station, or SmartHub, you will not be able to record or save videos. Arlo also has subscription plans that will save videos, if you desire. However, if your intent is to just view live, then yes, you can view the live mode from just your cell phone (you need to install their app).

Can the camera, or is the camera, hardwired?

No, the Essential Spotlight cannot be hardwired. It is a wireless option. With heavy use, they require a recharge about once per month, or sometimes less. There are wired options with other cameras.

How many feet out with this camera record?

I've had 60 feet during the daylight with clear enough video to get license plate numbers. At night, I use IR and can make out shapes. I do not use spotlights because of my neighborhood, but I still get 50 feet of recorded area.

With plain IR night vision, I have recorded critters such as armadillos, skunks, raccoons, possums, and a dog at night time, with clear identity out to 40 feet.

Across my one area during daylight, I can record vehicles at about 150 feet.

Can you leave these plugged in.

I have plugged them in to recharge them in place. Two of my cameras used up battery in two to three weeks. Rather than popping them off the mount and taking them inside, I left them on the mount and charged them while in their mount. You'd need to be careful related to water and connections. My assumption is that there could be a short if the connectors get wet.

I had one camera plugged in to an electrical outlet outside. The connection place was protected from rain, water, the elements. It worked, and the camera detected motion and noise, plus recorded video. Again, I prefer the wireless approach and worry about an electrical connection with open, unprotected electrical connections.

Overall, I'd say use the wireless function, or get the wired versions.

No tripod is included. The camera does have a screw-in mount on the bottom.
