I really wanted this to work. I was excited for it to work. And here I am, 3+ hours of wasted time with multiple mosquito bites.
The instructions/quick start guide gave the impression that the device was pretty much turn on and go.
I charged everything and followed all directions for sealing the sd socket, locking the battery, etc.
I follow the directions to the "T" and then...a flashing green light. What does a flashing green light mean?? I still hear the sound to signify connection is ready, but the light is still green. Head to the quick start guide, no answer. Go watch the videos, no answer. Download the manual and find the LED chart, answer for solid green, but not flashing. First hour...gone.
Thinking this was a fluke, I setup trying this out in a swimming pool. Back to square one, blaming myself, "as I had to have missed something." Turned unit on, and...flashing green. Tinkered more and realized the manual camera had to be fully extended. Even a cm off puts you in flashing green limbo.
ok, so now, finally, flashing blue! Ready to connect. Turn on the drone, then remote...nothing. Turn the remote first, then the drone. Hear the pairing signal and...nothing. Take out the battery attempted a "reset" and try it all over again...nothing. I even placed in the pool to see if it was somehow water activated. Nothing. Second hour, gone.

I know! Maybe I need to connect the phone to get functionality. Followed all onscreen connection instructions, and, you guessed it...nothing. More like a continual loop of, "you must turn on usb tethering," turn it on, go back to app, "you must turn on usb tethering." Over and over. The manual mentions issue with T-Mobile. I do not have T-Mobile, but I had issues.
I then saw you could connect directly to the drone from the phone. Alright, why not. Connected to the pseudo wifi successfully, then tried to locate drone...nothing. App looks great, but it's useless with no drone.
Another 1+ hours go by. I'm done.
A device of this caliber should not be this difficult to simply do the most basic function...connect! I didn't bother contacting customer service because if I can't get the most basic function to work, I don't even want to bother having them walking me through the same thing repeatedly.

TERK - HDTV Antenna
Enjoy quality network programming with this Terk ultra-thin HDTV antenna. Two-sided mounting tape makes wall and window installation possible, while a slim profile takes up very little space once installed. Multidirectional reception design makes adjustments unnecessary, while white and black sides allow this Terk ultra-thin HDTV antenna to fit into various decors.
When signal is good, great. Other times...

It may be my location. It may be the signals. It could be the device, but I can't quite tell.
I used the led meter to find a good spot to mount the antenna. I didn't get a "perfect" signal, but I did get a single "green" light which should have been fairly good.
Setting up was a breeze, and mounting was easy. Instead of 3M squares, I used the 3M removable tabs to avoid damage.
After I ran the scan, the antenna showed 70+ channels!
Excellent! Except...
1/3 of the channels rarely come in. It just shows the data. I'd prefer they not even show the channel if the signal is too weak. Fortunately, they are channels I'd never watch.
The main channels came through without a hitch. The first few days, they were glitchy, but after that, they have been fairly solid.

The build of the antenna is great. Yes, it is thin and seems flimsy, but it is fairly strong. The cable length is enough that I can mount high and hide the excess neatly.
Once again, maybe if my living circumstance were more friendly to open space for the best signal, I'd receive even more reception, but as of this moment, I can say it does at least get me the stronger network channels. I would recommend at least trying.

This little gem has some KICK! Whenever I turn it on for someone they are always as shocked as I was when I first powered it up. Full, rich, vibrant sound.
And yes, I put it to the test. Held it under water, ran water on it, rolled it around a bit; never skipped a beat. Unlike many other UE speakers I own, I am comfortable just "tossing" this and going on my way. Feels sturdy and rugged enough to deal with my abuse.

The docked star is for two things that may not seem big, but they are to me. The first is the lack of a previous track option. So simple. They have a two press= next track, why not a three press=previous like several units have adopted. I can play a track repeatedly. It would be nice to just use the speakers functions solely.
The second is a typical issue in many of these portable speakers. Once you get up to the really high volumes, there is often distortion. Slight, but still there. No matter the type of music or the quality, it still shows up. The "boost" mode kind of cleans it up with the treble boost, but not completely.
I will admit, the boost mode is very useful, and doesn't diminish the quality of the content being played.

By price point and description, this is considered a mid-range gaming laptop. But the more I use it, the smaller the gap becomes between this and my higher end system.
On initial set-up, I was disappointed in the screen performance with certain textures, but Windows popped up and offered to run a process to decrease blurriness. Once I ran that, it was sharp as ever.
Build is solid and the accents are a nice touch. My wife really likes the keyboard "flare," which she never notices. Kudos on the design and build. On that same note, the keys are very responsive and quite comfortable.
I ran a few games at near-maxed levels and never noticed any frame rate drops. Even with the constant explosions of GTAV, textures stay sharp, shadows showed up and motion remained smooth.
During my sessions, I rested my wrist right on the panel below the keyboard to see if the panel became uncomfortably warm during play. It did not! Stayed cool, and having the fans set to auto, they kicked on and off without a hitch when the temperature stated to rise. Which wasn't too bad at all. The Nitro controls work well when tinkering with the system specs.
The i5 ran smoothly as expected.
My negatives have more to do with Windows than with the system. For some reason, I had a tough time installing software. Ah well, little extra work was not a problem.
If you're sitting on the fence, go ahead and jump, you won't regret it. Great product.

This review isn't long, just straight to the point. I didn't believe this would even come close to standard flossing, but from all my uses, I am very impressed.
No blood, no pain from over flossing, same result.
The sonic portion is a little lacking compared to my Oral B, but not so much that is hinders the rating. Of course having an "all or nothing" approach to the products, I did minimal testing on the lower settings and went straight to 10. How I brutalized myself with manual flossing, I'm sure I could take it.
GLORIOUS! Messy, but GLORIOUS! You will get water everywhere at first, but it then becomes an art.
As you use this, be very careful with the stream. While maneuvering the brush around, the stream hit the uvula and...that was uncomfortable. You also will have to become a pro at turning off/on when transitioning to avoid splatter. All part of the game.

There were several times while using this headset, that I had to pause and take it off just to make sure my surround sound wasn't on. The sound is just that good.
The build is great. Nice and sturdy. Very comfortable. I do wish they would fold for portability, but the box it came in serves as a great "case" for the time being.
Fairly easy set-up for the Xone, and I appreciate the physical settings at your fingertips and not relying on an app.It may be different for the wireless model, but I like switching quickly on the fly.
There are 3 EQ settings, and I can hear the intricate differences in each setting. Want to hear the BOOM of an explosion, go 3, hear all the footsteps, go 1, and 2 is a great mix of both.
Speaking of EQ, listening to music is also a nice experience. Even with volume blasting, I didn't notice any clipping. Not common in gaming headsets.

Now, the downside. This headset is advertised as compatible for PC, but that is slightly misleading. Yes, it will work with PC (like any other headset), but from my experimentation, there is no audio customization on the PC side. It's plug-and-play, and that's it. I would have liked some audio tweaks, even if using a program for modification. I understand there is an amp specifically for PC, but the description headline is a bit tricky. Not a biggy for me since I have specifically for Xone, but just a note for those who are 50/50.
Other than that, I'm happy to welcome this to my set-up! Great sound!

Looks like the Tumbler from Batman and has just as many gadgets.
I am not a great WASD player. Sometimes,I'm great, sometimes I'm terrible. Having the extra custom buttons has been a gratifying experience. Reload near my shoot button...as it should be.

This mouse has lots of things to customize...almost overkill. From he weight to the colors, anyone and everyone should be able to find the right combo.
Also, for a wireless mouse, the delay is not existent. Just as good as any wired mouse I have ever used.
I will admit, I paired it with the combo charging pad for a continuous charge, so I can't speak much to battery life.
Buttons are responsive and mouse wheel is smooth. That's the best word for this mouse, smooth.
Great addition to the gaming arsenal.

This is the fastest computer I have ever owned. And I have owned a bunch. I was hesitant with the AMD processors from past experience, but this is a new beast.
I tried editing audio, mixing audio, cutting and editing video, all with multiple tracks, and no hiccups and the processor never went above 40%. Extremely response. Fast loading on both programs and restarts.
Ten, I hit the gaming, and turned everything UP! I'm not sure I've ever been able to do that on a laptop without a drastic framerate drop. Not here. I turned up the performance setting and off we went! My testers were Spec ops: The Line, GTA V, and of course, Crysis :-)

Another great feature was the speakers. I normally use headphones, but the spatial sound and bass on board is surprisingly good! Nice sweeping and all.
The battery is decent, better than I expect for a gaming laptop, but I always chalk that up to a loss.
The graphics card fan did kick up a few times, but the heat dissipation was great. No wrist fires while playing.

AMD has stepped it up and Asus makes a solid machine.

In short, I am extremely impressed with this TV.
Before this set, I was holding on to my 1080P 3D television as I was not truly impressed by the barrage of 4K televisions enough to upgrade. I then started leaning toward OLED sets, but I didn't feel the bump in picture was truly worth the premium.
This TV was/is worth the jump. The picture is amazing. The "calibrated" mode is a great feature that I wish more TVs had pre-installed. That's what we want!
There are more than enough connections to hook up components and the features and tweaking options are extremely deep. So much customization.
I'm a gamer...no lag noticed.
Blacks are black, and gray is gray. And having support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision is a joy in itself.
The smart features work well, and load fairly quickly. They also do a great job of "hubbing" content together on the main Vizio page. Not perfect, but a bit less cluttered.
No regrets with this TV.

There are a few negatives that may sway some, so if these matter, make your own call.
The first is the apps. You can't add apps to the smart line-up. Yes, they have advanced casting, but when my mother-in-law is in town, she has no idea how to cast Sling to the TV when she's home alone. Something so simple should be a given on a set of this caliber. I will say that the free content that is provided on the Vizio/Pluto channel does make-up for some of the disappointment. It's just like having cable in a sense.
The second is the sound pass through. I have a Vizio 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar that integrates wonderfully with this TV. Here's the issue: The ARC port on the TV does not pass the Atmos signal to the soundbar, only the supported DTS. So, if you have an Atmos device, say an XBOX One X, it has to be connected directly to the soundbar, and used on a different sound input. So, if you have more than one Atmos device, you'll need either a switch or a receiver to gain full access to your audio. This is silly. The TV has 5 HDMI inputs and none can pass the Atmos signal to the soundbar. Luckily, one device is enough for now, but that is bothersome.

Fairly simple experience.
I connected the device to my router, the app found it (after a few tries) and I was good to go.
If you have a bunch of devices, it can be overwhelming at first, but once you get going, it's fairly straight forward.
The backup battery is a nice feature.
My major gripe is the subscription cost/wording.
It is not straight forward, and I had to hunt around for the cost, $9.95 a month AFTER the first included year. That should be up front.
Secondly, it says premium features are only available with a subscription, but in essence, without a subscription, it's nonfunctional. By the wording, I would assume there is a barebones plan should you choose not to pay for a subscription. In my research, that has not been the case. It should state, "subscription required for usage." As the other wording can be a bit deceptive.

This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.
How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.
It doesn't. It comes with a "sensor" that attaches to the bottom and that does the measurements and sends the result back to the viewing device.

Logitech - Harmony Hub - Black
Easily manage your home automation system while you're on the go with this Logitech Harmony 915-000238 hub, which allows you to control up to 8 connected devices via a compatible Bluetooth-enabled Apple® iOS or Android smartphone.
Do I have to get this in order to use my Alexa Echo to control my smart TV and lights? Or can the Alexa Echo control these things without the Harmony Home Hub.
if you are just looking to turn them on and off you could connect them each to a smart plug and Alexa can control them once connected. The lights can even be dimmed. If you are looking for full control of your TV, and it does not have Alexa built-in, the hub will be your best bet in order to make everything work coherently in sync.

So for one thing, I want to connect this to my TV. So I understand that it should work with a TV but will it connect to a fan? I already have a google home but I just need to make my TV and fan voice command
If it is a standard fan, you would just need to connect it to a smart plug. That plug can then be connected via voice command to your Harmony hub. Then you could control both with the hub.

Bring the sounds of the movies to your home with these Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. The compact size fits neatly on top of your existing tower speakers for an easy way to upgrade your sound system. Mica-reinforced cellular cones reduce distortion, while the MDF cabinets absorb vibrations for better playback. These Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers offer surround sound capabilities for an immersive listening experience.
Hi, Can these be used on their own (without other speakers) for sound for a small room?
Yes. I connected them to a mini-amplifier and the sound would easily fill a small room. Just be sure the amplifier can provide ample wattage. I believe these speakers can take up to 100W each.
