 Insignia™ - AAA Batteries (48-Pack)
Insignia™ - AAA Batteries (48-Pack)
Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.

As far as I can tell these AAA batteries are as good as any on the market. I tend to believe that all brands of alkaline cells are pretty much equal and you only get a bad batch if they have been sitting on a store shelf for a very long time. This is the first time that I have purchased this brand and time will tell if they are equivalent to any other name brands.

Enjoy taking calls with this Panasonic cordless phone system. Each of its two handsets has a large 1.6-inch LCD display that lets you easily see who's calling, and the call blocking function automatically rejects unwanted calls. The eco mode of this expandable Panasonic cordless phone system lowers power consumption when you use the handset near the base unit.

This phone takes cordless to a whole new level for me. For starters, each handset only uses two AAA rechargeable batteries which are easily found and affordable. The phones can call each other and be used as an intercom. The display is large, easily read, and always displays the date and time when not in use. The battery strength is always displayed as well as a message that the unit is fully charged when that is the case. The sound quality is great and I have not experienced any problems with the range of operation. I feel that this phone is very affordable for all of the features that it provides.

Flash drives seem to be desirable for either cost, size, speed or a combination of all three. I knew that this drive was only a USB 2.0 but it hit the other two targets for me. It works as expected.

First off, I don't use this item as a phone but rather as a small tablet. I have loaded about 12 different apps to check weather, news, and stream music with wifi. There is no more memory space for additional apps or updates. Plan on adding an optional micro SD card to put additional items on. I have an original Maven from a year ago and this model is a big improvement.

This player plays DVDs just fine, although I haven't tried any BluRay DVDs yet. I actually purchased this to show vacation pictures (JPEG) on my TV and there were a couple of disappointments. First of all, I found out that Sony does not endorse the use of a portable (non-self powered) hard drive with the use of their front-mounted USB port. Playing pictures stored on a thumb drive is fine, though. Secondly, the player does not recognize more than 500 pictures stored in any one folder so you will not be able to put all of your vacation photos in one continuous slide show if there are more than that amount. Thirdly, whenever you use an album of MP3 music as a background, if you leave the slideshow to view a relevant MP4 video stored on the thumb drive or if you change folders to a different group of photos, then the music always starts over again beginning with track 1 instead of just continuing through the rest of the album. You might be hearing track 1 quite a bit if you do some jumping around in the menu. All in all, though, there are a lot of great features in this device and I am happy to have it since the streaming option gives me Netflix and YouTube. It currently looks like Amazon and Google are having a fight and Google is pulling YouTube support from the Amazon Fire Stick which I had been using with my main TV. Fortunately I can maintain the YouTube app using the Sony but unfortunately I lost my PBS app that had been on the Fire Stick.

This mixer was purchased as a replacement for an inherited 60 year old KitchenAid that still works fine! This new model looks nicer and has a terrific motor with a gradual start feature that the old machine did not have. There is no pouring shield available for this model but it is probably not needed since the bowl has a larger diameter than some of the other models and the gradual start eliminates ingredients from being thrown out of the bowl at startup.

There's not a lot that you can say about this charger. It either works or it doesn't and mine seems to work just fine. I do like the very soft and dim blue glow that the case shows in a very dark room.

This Bluetooth adapter works very well to stream music from a smart phone to a set of powered computer speakers. The quality of the sound is good and it appears that the range is approximately 30 feet as long as no metal barriers get in the way.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

I really like this mouse from Logitech. It fits my hand extremely well and I appreciate the forward and back buttons for internet page flipping. A lot of people have criticized the free-wheeling mouse wheel but I have really found it to be beneficial with long documents such as PDF owner manuals. If you want the traditional clicking mouse wheel you just have to engage it with the small button at the bottom of the wheel anyway.

U3 enabled?

It says it's U3 enabled, yet it doesn't come with U3, and when I try to install U3 from sandisk.com it says my flash drive is not supported.
This flash drive can be used with either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 products, however it only performs at a USB 2.0 level and does not have the speed improvement of 3.0 in it.

Is the sound system wireless?

I dont see any wires connected to speakers from the subwoofer. Is the picture missing something or is it really wireless?
The system is NOT wireless. There is a wire from the main (right front) speaker to the subwoofer, a wire between the right front and left front speakers, and a power wire feeding the right front speaker.
