Good Low End Fridge

If you're looking to get a decent refrigerator with a water dispenser & ice maker, but don't want to spend a lot, then this seems to be a good choice. Have only had it about a month, but works great so far. Pretty Quiet - looks good. I HATE the lights - they start completely dimmed and slowly "light up" to full after opening the door. It may look cool in a demo, but not practical - when you open your fridge, you want to immediately see what's in it. The delay waiting for the lights to reach full brightness is gimmicky and a backwards step. Also the drawers are obviously cheap and make loud plastic on plastic sounds when opening and closing and do not do so smoothly. But again, this is a low end fridge so you shouldn't expect high end drawers. It works for what we got it for.

Not as great w/Amazon Echo as I had hoped

If you're looking for an extra remote and/or want to use your phone as a remote then this is a great option. But I didn't get this for that purpose. I got it because of it's integration with Alexa on Amazon Echo and the promise of direct integration that would allow you to just say "Alexa, do this" and it would happen. What they don't tell you and you find out when you start to set it up is that the only thing you can do like that is turn on your system. That's it! So you can set up an activity to turn on your entertainment system and set the receiver or tv to the input for cable or blu-ray player or other device. That's it!!! By installing a separate Harmony Alexa Skill, you get a few more commands but you have to say "Alexa, tell Harmony to..." And with that you get "Pause TV", "Play TV", "Turn the volume up", "Turn the volume down", and one or two others - but again that's it. It's not that this is bad - it's just I was expecting to be able to create custom phrases linked to custom commands. For example, one thing I wanted most to be able to do is use the my TiVo's "Skip" feature which skips commercials on a recorded program. But there is NO WAY to do this. It's lame because inside the Harmony app, I can of course press the TiVo "D" button which performs the skip operation, so why can't I just create a custom Alexa command that will trigger that, even if it's with the "Tell Harmony" integration and not the direct integration - it would still make me happier. The Anymote Android app has custom setup like this, but is a small independent developer and doesn't work as smoothly as the Harmony integration.
Anyway, as it is this is a decent device, but if you're buying it for it's "Amazon Echo Alexa integration" you need to know it's limitations as it is. I am hoping Logitech will add the ability to create custom commands/macros and give them custom names/phrases that you can then trigger through Alexa. This is desperately needed functionality. If I hadn't gotten this on sale for a really good price, I would return it - it is not worth full regular price in it's current state.

I thought this would be a little more versatile allowing you to attach the camera to just about anything that needed a "wrap around" type attachment. However the strap is much stiffer than I anticipated and is molded specifically for a round bike handle like pipe so this would work great for bikes but not for anything else.

Samsung make the best Android Tablets currently no the market in the Tab S2 series. Very light weight - great battery life - excellent management of running apps. And this 64gb Best Buy Exclusive version is worth a little extra money. Of course if you can catch it on sale like I did, it's an even better deal. Love my Galaxy Tab S2 and would by another in a heartbeat.

This is definitely not the most advanced "smart thermostat" but it does what you want it to do and does it well. It allows you to control/set your thermostat from anywhere with your phone. It also allows you to set up schedules, check the local weather around your home, and check the room temperature where the thermostat is. It works great and was significantly cheaper than the other fancier thermostats. Before you buy one of those ask yourself if you really need the few extra features those offer.
The one thing I will warn you about with this (or any thermostat replacement) is that the wiring may be a little complicated. We had to call Honeywell to get clarification on which wires go where on the new thermostat, but Honeywell was there on a weekend to take the call and was able to provide the info we needed to get it installed and working.

The micro SD card seems to be working great in my Galaxy S7 phone. I wanted a fast card that could handle large files for pictures and video and also potentially apps (though the S7 doesn't have adoptable storage natively so haven't used it for that). Like all SanDisk products, it works great with no issues.

I bought this as a gift for my parents who were just using the built in TV Speakers. Set up was easy and the sound is great. Chose this over many others due to overall sound and inputs. (Many others don't have an HDMI input.) Overall it works great!

Are you limited in the app on how many devices can be programmed. I don't plan to use the remote, I want to use this with Amazon Echo instead. Seams like it should have unlimited if you don't have to worry about how many programmable remote buttons.
Read my review for info on Amazon Echo integration. It's okay, but VERY limited at the moment - not as great as they make it sound. And you are limited to controlling 8 devices with this. However, direct integration "Alexa, Turn on TV" only works to do just that - turn on equipment for specific purpose (like "watch a movie" to turn on tv/receiver/bluray or "turn on fire stick" to turn on tv/receiver/fire stick and go to right input). Extra Alexa Skill app allows you to say "Alexa, tell Harmony to..." and then adds only 4-5 more commands. That's it. No ability to create custom commands which is what i was expecting.

What accessories go with this device? Is there a pen that can be used? My Surface has a pen and I think I would be lost without it....
You can buy/use a standard stylus with this, but it does not have the special "stylus use detection" system that allows the tablet to ignore your hand touches and only react to the stylus. So this will not provide the same stylus functionality you're used to with the surface.

Can this device run Microsoft Office? How do you install it then if so?
Microsoft makes Android Apps for all their products. You don't install "Office" per se, but on the Google Play Android App store just look for Microsoft and you'll find an app for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Notes, and more from Microsoft designed specifically for Android.
