Hoover - Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister - Platinum
Hoover Platinum Collection Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister: Clean everything from carpets and bare floors to stairs and ceiling corners with this bagged upright vacuum cleaner from Hoover. Powerful and built to last, the upright weighs just 12 pounds, making your work easier. Use the included canister vacuum for even greater portability.
My wife loves her new vacuum and cannister!
Customer Rating
5.0
We bought this because my wife's old Royal vacuum is so heavy and hard to use. It also needs some repair to the handle latch.
This Hoover is much easier to use and it does an even better job. We were concerned that there was no height adjustment, but this works equally well on carpet, hardwood, and vinyl floors.
The handle for stairs is especially useful, as we have two carpeted stairways. The vacuum is so light it isn't a problem.
In spite of the bad reviews on the canister, my wife loves it too. It is so very light it is easy to vacuum out the cars, and the long wands reach to the high ceiling on our back porch. It seems to have a lot of suction, and the noise is no worse than any other vacuum.
We definitely wanted a bag vacuum, as emptying a no-bag vacuum is a messy operation. With the bag, you just remove all the dirt and dust and it is already bagged. Also, the bag offers a very large HEPA filter that is changed automatically when you need to change it. In one step you neatly empty the dirt and replace the filter.

Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black
Linksys RE6500 Dual-Band Wireless Range Extender: Improve signal quality and fill in the dead zones in your wireless network with this extender. Plus, an audio jack on the back of the extender lets you plug in your speakers and listen to music from your wireless devices, like smartphones, tablets and computers.
Worked fine, but did not meet my needs

I bought this to replace a range extender I already used. This one gave me the same difficulty, so I returned it. My intent was to have the range extender use the exact ID as my router, but it did not seem to be possible. This extender uses the router ID appended by _EXT. Since this is not the exact router ID, it did not do what I wanted.

Customer Rating

I recently bought a 75 inch smart TV, and then bought the Roku 4 because the TV did not have the one app I use most. I use the Roku apps more than the apps on the TV. The TV is a 4k, so I bought the 4k Roku to be able to stream UHD.

NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port

Smart LED indicators will direct you to the optimal location to plug the extender into the wall, so you can easily enjoy improved range and speed on your mobile and wired devices. Save on data usage by connecting your smartphone or tablet to your home network.
Works fine, but adds a network SSID
Customer Rating
5.0
I relocated my router at the TV instead of at my PC, in order to have Ethernet to the TV. When I did that, the signal at my PC was too weak, so I bought this little range extender.
This range extender gives me good speed on two remote PCs that are out of range of my main router.
The extender has nice lights to signal the strength in both directions - to the router, and to the remotes. When you set it up, it offers a new network name - the router name with "_EXT" appended. Then you have the opportunity to log into the new network that is sourced at the extender.

Insignia™ - 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub - Black
Expand your PC or Mac connectivity with this Insignia™ NS-PCH5420 USB hub, which interfaces with a single USB 2.0 port to enable connection of up to 4 USB devices. A 5V, 500 mA/port output delivers a rapid charge to compatible devices.
Works fine, but note it is not USB 3.0
Customer Rating
5.0
I use this hub to connect my printers to my PC. Being USB 2.0, it is fast enough for my printing, but would not be a good choice for a hard drive, or even for transfer to a 64 GB USB stick.
I like the short pigtail to the PC, and four ports meets my needs.

Apple TV® - Black

Customer Rating

This was the second Apple TV I have bought recently. My iPhone can stream videos that the TV doesn't do. The video quality and sound are excellent. The device also has lots of apps and slide-show options. The only down side I can see is that it does not have the ability to download new apps. You get lots of apps, but I would like a special one that is not there.

This is a really neat device. I can put my iPhone image or video directly on my TV. It has lots of apps for sports and movies, but I am disappointed the device does not have my favorite app: AcornTV. However, I can get that app on my iPhone and watch it through the Apple TV. Great! I may get a second Apple TV for my other TV.

need a good USB stick or drive for music to play on my car radio. I have a 16GB for $6.99 and the quality is very BAD
Quality of music does not depend on the USB stick. The stick just stores the data it is given. If the data going in is good, the data going out will be good. Either you are storing poor music data, or your playback system is trashing the data.

what is different between USB 2.0 ,USB 3.0 and micro USB .Can connect all of those to my laptop ?I am planning to purchase SanDisk Ultra 32 GB Micro USB/USB 3.0 Flash Drive -Black but I am not sure I can use with computer.
USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are different speeds of USB; the connectors come in three sizes, but 2.0 and 3.0 are used with all three connectors. USB 3.0 is much faster than 2.0, but a 3.0 device will run slower at 2.0 speed if plugged into a 2.0 device. This is called "Backward Compatibility."
Micro USB refers to the USB connector size. The three sizes are referred to as Standard, Mini, and Micro. Micro USB connectors are the smallest, and they are used on many devices today, such as Galaxy phones, and Kindle readers.

Can I transfer from my I phone to my computer?
You can transfer if your phone has a USB connector and can move files from one memory to another. This does not work with Apple iPhones, as the connector does not match.

best cleaning cannister
Is one brand of cannister vacuum better than the other. When spending approx. 75.00-150.00 dollars?
This canister is as good as any of the two or three others we have had. They are good for cars, upholstery, walls and ceilings, but not as good as a floor model for floors.

How would you rate it for noise level?
Less noisy than our old Royal. Of course, it is a vacuum cleaner, and somewhat noisy.
The canister is also not overly noisy. If it was quiet, I would suspect it was not very powerful.
