This is a versatile one-box streaming amplifier system that can do a lot. It has the capability for sound from HDMI ARC input. This system can play everything: turntable, CD player, digital files, internet radio, FM radio, TV sound, and Tidal streaming service. The entire box is encased in a silver metal frame with a high-quality build and finish. The few buttons and the informative display, which is a touch screen, have a sleek design and placement. The dimensions are similar to those of other systems. The system works well out of the box; I completed the installation and the connection to the Wi-Fi in under 30 minutes. Using the Google Home app, the system is not connected to my house Wi-Fi, which is great if you use Google Chromecast. Alternatively, you can use the system via Bluetooth. The built-in FM radio works great, providing an excellent signal to my favorite radio stations. There are multiple ways to connect the system: (1) two line-level inputs; (3) phono RCA; (4) optical and coaxial digital inputs; (5) a high-quality 6.3 mm headphone jack; (6) HDMI ARC; and (7) two USB ports (Type A and Type B).
This is a crossover product that makes it possible not only for streaming services such as music, radio, and podcasts but also for the sound coming from video services (movies). Technics combines both types of services so that users can enjoy the great sound of an audio system as well as the video content on one system and easily switch from one source to another. What is special about this product is that the HDMI ARC does great at removing any noise from the video circuitry of the integrated digital environment. Now, when I watch high-definition movies, the sound produced by the system is of pristine quality. There is no need to use two controls to watch movies because the sound volume coming from the TV using the HDMI ARC can be controlled with the TV’s remote control. The power output is 80 watts a channel into four and 40 watts a channel into eight. This awesome high-end audio network integrated amplifier system allows you to listen to music/audio from nearly every connection type, source connectivity, and digital connectivity. What today's music lovers want is convenience and great sound. The music landscape that this product allows streaming is huge, from different sources and services. I like the fact that I can do all this with just one system without the need to have another system when I switch to another source or streaming service.

Excellent Massager with unique Biometric Sensor

Includes four attachments: a USB-C to USB-C cord for charging, a USB-C to USB Adapter, the Theragun Sense, and a carrying pouch. It does not include a wall charger (power brick), so you might have to use a charger from another device. The carrying soft cloth pouch is of a thick quality, holds all the accessories, and the zipper is easy to open/close. The Theragun design is more ergonomic than other massagers since it is shaped like a triangle and allows one to get back muscles. The device is lightweight, easy to hold, and used around the body. There is no issue with using this device across tough-to-reach muscles. The gun’s massage volume/noise (depending on the speed level) at the highest level isn’t loud—very acceptable. The multi-button control panel and an OLED screen allow you to set the desired setting for the massager without using the app.
The SENSE has three new unique features not found with the other Theragun models: a biometric sensor, guided breath-work, and the TheraMind sound. The biometric sensor is a heart rate sensor. I enjoy These new features because I frequently have difficulty falling asleep at night and after waking up in the middle of the night. These unique features (guided breath-work, biometric sensor, and the TheraMind Sound) help me bring my heart rate down to allow my body to fall asleep. For example, on one use of the product and before starting the routine, my heart rate was 81bpm, and after using the routine in the device, my heart rate went down to 74bpm. This device helps reduce my stress, makes me feel more relaxed throughout the day, and helps me fall asleep much faster. It works so well that I have 2-3 guided breath-work sessions per day and one before going to bed. The use of the Theragun SENSE is now part of my daily routine. After every session on the app, it asks if you want to save your results (heart rate) and routine. The purpose of recording these is to help guide the user through a wellness journey. The only one I saved is the sleep results, and this helps me get to sleep faster every night.
The Therabody App has a tone of Routines for the Theragun SENSE. Within each CATEGORY (18 Total) there are a number of routines, Categories are: (1)For Relaxation and Breath-work (4 routines), (2)For Walking (5 routines: Calves, Quads, Lower Back, Walk Recovery, Pre-Walk Warm-Up), (3)For Running (12 routines), (4)For Upper Body Workouts (9 routines), (5)For Lower Body Workouts (14 routines), (6)For Upper Body Pain (8 routines), (7)For Lower Body Pain (14 routines), (8)For Cycling (9 routines), (9)For Sleep and Relaxation (6 routines), (10)For Yoga and Studio Workouts (8 routines), (11)For Full Body Workouts (9 routines), (12)For Travel (6 routines), (13)For Outdoor Adventures (9 routines), (14)For Field Sports (16 routines: Golf Warm-up, Golf Recovery, Baseball Warm-up with Cody Bellinger, Soccer Warm-Up with Kevin De Bruyne, Soccer Recovery, Baseball Recovery, Lacrosse Warm-up, Lacrosse Recovery, Softball Warm-Up, Softball Recovery, Rugby Warm-Up, Rugby Recovery, Equestrian Warm-Up, Equestrian Recovery, Soccer Warm-up, and Baseball Warm-Up), (15)For Water Sports (6 routines), (16)For Courts Sports (12 routines: Handball, Padel Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, Pickleball) (17)For Winder Sports (9 routines), and (18)For Combat Sports (11 routines). Some routines repeat within other categories; some have video, some have motivational speakers, and all have background music.
Overall, I am satisfied with Theragun Sense. It has a tone of routines, and it is a great tool to help someone’s overall health. The unique features of the SENSE model (Biometric Sensor, Guided Breath-work, and TheraMind Sound) are my favorite and are excellent for helping relax, breath-work, and sleep.

The new Dell G15 5530 Gaming Laptop - game on a retro-inspired gaming laptop with all the modern essentials for everyday gaming.

The G15 looks lovely but is a bit clunky and heavy machine with its massive and heavy power brick (charger). It is great when traveling or staying at someone's house, but not much to take everywhere in one day. The chassis is entirely made of plastic with a matte finish. The back corner design, the speaker grills, and the cooling grills make this laptop look very gaming. It comes with more than enough ports: a RJ45, a combo audio jack, three USB 3.2 (Gen 1), a USB-C 3.2 (Gen 2, not Thunderbolt), and an HDMI 2.1 port. The keyboard has an orange accent color with a full-sized numeric keypad. The layout of the keys is excellent, not too squished at all. The touchpad (4-inch length x 2.75-inch width) is long enough but needs to be wider; it is designed limited to allow room for the full-size large keyboard. The vents on top of the keyboard allow plenty of airflow. There is a lot of airflow, which is essential for good gaming performance. All the games I played ran smoothly and were amazing without any fluctuation. The matte display is stunning, with good color accuracy and color gamut. The laptop's CP performance is excellent; it even functions well with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro. On the center of the keyboard is the G button, which takes you in and out of turbo mode. The speakers are acceptable for normal day-to-day usage. To conclude, this is a tremendous mid-range level gaming laptop that performs exceptionally well.

What is included in this product are documents/manuals, a scanner, a power cable, and a USB-C cable. The scanner is small, 11.25 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, and 4 inches deep. There is no screen display on the control panel. There are five buttons to control the device and some LED lights to indicate Power, troubleshooting, and connection. The scanner connects two ways: (1) Wi-Fi standalone and (2) USB connected to a computer. This scanner model is compatible with the Epson Smart Panel app, allowing you to efficiently perform scanning operations from a mobile device (iOS or Android). Note: the scanner must be in a Wi-Fi standalone connection to use the Epson Smart Panel app. Connecting the scanner as a Wi-Fi standalone took about 20 minutes (connection, installation, and software/firmware updates).
On the computer, Epson Scan Smart software is where you can Manage Invoices/Receipts that are scanned. After the receipt/invoice is scanned, you are prompted to the Invoice/Receipted Manager. The software detected the vendor, date, currency, total amount, tax, and tip. While managing each receipt/invoice, you can choose a classification, tax category, pay method, pay account, card type, card number, and comment. Then you get prompted to where you would like to save this: various options: QuickbooksOnline, QuickenFile, TurboTax, as a CSV File, Image file, etc. The products include two third-party software: (1) Presto! BizCard 6 and (2) Kofax Power PDF (for Windows and Mac). The Kofax Power PDF is a powerful PDF editor that allows you to scan images (receipts/Invoices) into text that can be selected. This software is called OCR (optical character recognition) to translate a page/document into text that can selected. To conclude the review, this is a great scanner, and the software that comes with it makes it an excellent device to scan a receipt, invoices, and other essential documents.

This versatile security system can be used anywhere you can access Wi-Fi. With this kit, you get the main security keypad that connects to the Wi-Fi, two unique 8-in-1 sensors, adhesives to attach sensors, a USB Charger Block/box/cube/brick Plug, a quick reference guide, and a “Protected Arlo Smart Security” sticker. Each sensor has the capability of one of these options: (1) Detects motion, (2) detects tilts (it is excellent to place one on garage doors), (3) Detects when doors open and close, (4) notifies if CO2 goes off, (5) notifies if the house smoke alarm goes off, (6) has ambient light detection, (7) has freeze detection. (8) water leak senor. Each sensor uses one battery size CR2477. DTo do the installation, one must download the Arlo Secure App, which it will guide you through the entire process. All the notifications get sent to your mobile device (tablet or phone).
Note that certain features require an Arlo professional monitoring paid plan, which product gives you a free trial period to test the paid service. The kit is a small security system capable of expanding to include other sensor types, cameras, and devices. The cameras available to set up with the system are the Arlo: Ultra Series, Pro Series, Essential Series, Go2, Q&Q Plus, Baby, Go, and Arlo. Doorbells and Chime models: Essential Vidoe Doorbll Wire-Free, Essential Video Doorbell Wired, Audio Doorbell, and Arlo Chimes (Chime and Chime2). You can add to the system the Arlo Wire-Free Outdoor Siren. The Arlo lights models: Pro 3 Floodlight Camera and the Arlo Security Light. Another device is the Arlo Light Bridge, which controls lighting around the system. I have reliable internet, but if your Wi-Fi isn’t that great, there is an option to purchase the Arlo Cellular and Battery Backup modular accessory. The Keypad Sensor Hub attaches to the backup modular and provides cellular backup during internet or power outages. Overall, I am satisfied with this Arlo Home Security System, and what I like the most is that it is customizable and expandable.

This pc is very gamery and with the possibility of upgrades. The box includes an acceptable quality Predator-branded mouse and keyboard and a power cable. There is a side of the case that is glass, which allows you to see the interior of the PC and a metallic side. It has more than enough air vents on all sides for decent airflow. There are two intake cooling fans in the front, a CPU fan, and an exhaust fan on the back. There are four fans to cool the PC, and they are all RGB color lights.
The performance of this machine is an absolute beast. The i7 provides good processing power and easily handles CPU-intensive applications. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM allows the computer to run smooth and lag-free applications even with multiple applications running simultaneously.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU is great for running games at high resolution and fps. Even at high graphics, the fps can be over 100 on most games; this, paired with the CPU, gives a smooth and fun gaming experience.
This computer would still work for you even if you are not a gamer. Having many applications open and running smoothly is excellent when you have a lot to do. Running web browsers flawlessly, even when you have many tabs open, is a great thing when working. Overall, I am delighted with this gaming PC.

This combo keyboard and mouse is excellent for portability and office desk use. It can pair with up to 3 devices, which is great for users needing multiple devices (laptop, tablet, and even smartphones). I use it a lot with my double-screen foldable smartphone. There are two ways to connect: via Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver/dongle. With both keyboard and mouse, you can select which device (laptop/tablet/etc..) to connect to and switch seamlessly from one to another. The slim, lightweight, and compact design makes this an excellent portable accessory. Also, if used at a permanent desk, the small size will take up less space. They feel very comfortable when typing and using the mouse. The keyboard keys are impressively quiet when typing. Both devices include preinstalled batteries, and battery life is excellent; the keyboard uses two AAA, and the mouse uses one A battery. Overall, I am delighted with my new Logitech Pebble 2 Combo product. It is excellent for portability and multi-device connectivity and is comfortable to use.

I have had SimpliSafe home security solution for a year and am extremely satisfied with their products and security monitoring service. Their latest product is the Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Camera. I will use it as a wired power camera with the included long USB charging cable. Note that the kit does not include the USB power adapter (7.5w minimum). This new product and the 24/7 Live Monitoring Protection service allow the monitoring agents to access live feeds, alert intruders of police response, and enhance law enforcement response times. The difference between this camera and the older one is that the agents get live streams versus the agents reviewing recorded footage when an alarm is triggered. This live stream also allows agents to interact with intruders and alert them that police are on the way and that video recording is in progress. You can turn off this feature anytime in the app and create a privacy shutter(off) when the system is turned off or in the “Home: mode. When the camera LED lights an amber color, livestream activity exists. According to SimpliSafe, an agent can’t live stream without an active alarm event. The HD camera video offers a wide field of view and a built-in siren, motion detector, night vision, and smart person detection. The system sends you instant phone alerts to monitor and see what’s happening in your home. The smart camera can be installed on top of a table or bookshelf or mounted on a wall using the provided wall plate (also the mountain screws and wall anchors if needed). Overall, I am satisfied with my SimpliSafe home security solution.

What is included is the remote, instruction manual, a list of codes, and a short USB-C charging cable (no wall plug). Charging the control is straightforward with a USB power source; once plug, a red LED light indicates charging, and a green LED light means the remote is fully charged. To connect a device to the control, first turn on the device, find the code list for the type of device and brand (do this first and keep it handy), press and hold the device you want to program for about 2 seconds (e.g., TV/Streaming player/Soundbar…), then enter the five-digit code, and lastly, test your device with the control. Note that entering the codes on the remote requires viewing the diagram in the instruction manual because the remote doesn’t have number bottoms. I guess not having numerical bottoms allowed the design for a very thin remote. I only use this product to control the TV and the soundbar. I enjoy the quick access bottoms to Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and Hulu. I am pleased with this remote: easy to program, ultra-thin design, extremely light weight and USB-Type C rechargeable.

Poly Lens app ensures you get the most from your device, allowing you to customize and update firmware and other features. It comes with small, medium, and large ear tips that are easy to change—placing buds in your ear facing tip forward and then rotating downward-forward for the best fit and sound experience. There are two types of modes of listening: (1) Active noise canceling (ANC Mode) reduces external noise, and (2) Transparency allows you to hear your surroundings while wearing the buds. You can customize the ANC and Transparency modes in the Poly Lens app. The active noise canceling is some of the best I've heard for earbuds; it blocks out all types of chatter and other noises around you. I tested this feature at an Orlando theme park show with a lot of noise, and I was very impressed with how the buds do an awesome job at canceling ambient noise. With ANC mode, I always hear my music very clearly. The Customizable swipe controls are straightforward and great when you don't want to take out your phone and want to raise the volume or skip the song. Overall, I am satisfied with these wireless earbuds and it's impressive ANC mode.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hisense - 60" Class - LED - H6 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR
Stream your favorite shows on this 60-inch Hisense television. Its 3840 x 2160 resolution and 8 ms response time bring scenes to life, and 4K upscaling transforms lower quality video into HD resolution. This Hisense television is equipped with HDMI inputs to connect to a gaming console or Blu-ray player.
Why I see this tv offered to me at 479.00 and when I clicked on it has a 599 price instead??????
This has happened to me and I think this might be your reason why you see a different price. Sometimes BestBuy does offer a different price but the tradeoff is that it is an open box item. When a product has an available open box, it will show you the different prices. Sometimes availability of an open box depends on your location; it looks like they do open-boxes within a certain distance from your location. So, if you are doing a search on BestBuy.com for a particular product and the browser has a different zip code (auto fills the zip code) other than your location it will give you the price for the wrong location. Once you enter your correct zip code at checkout (or before) it will change or state that it is not available. I live in Florida and many times my browser sometimes gives a zip code from different states, like NY or NH.
Another possibility is that an Open-item was available when you started doing your search and just before deciding to checkout it is no longer available because had already bought it online or in the store. Nowadays, many stores are fulfilling their online purchase with their own store inventory, not from a warehouse.
BestBuy has 3 types of Open-Box products:
1) Excellent
2) Satisfactory (in-store only)
3) Fair (in-store only)

Charge your USB devices as you listen for extended streaming.
Is this speaker drop proof
The top and bottom sides of the speaker are made of a hard plastic material which probably breaks easily. It is not insulated by any silicon or rubber type material, the bottom has some rubber but that is to prevent skids. So, I will not think that they can hand a heavy drop, maybe from a table to floor distance but I would be careful.

Can you plug in and use with a nano iPod?
This speaker is completely wireless, there is no iPod connection port and not even for the regular AUX connection. The connection to this speaker is through Bluetooth. If your nano iPod has Bluetooth, then should not have an issue connecting it.

JBL - LINK 20 Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Google Assistant - Black
Listen to music for up to 10 hours with this black JBL portable speaker. It has a built-in Google Assistant that responds to voice commands, and it delivers rich stereo sound while you stream music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This water-resistant JBL portable speaker is made of durable materials, so you can use it outdoors safely.
I want the JBL Link 20 in white. Is it available? And how do I order it?
I have seen these in white but I am not sure if this store sales them in that color. White is a very nice color but if it will handle a lot to move it from place to place the cloth-like material surround the speaker might get dirty and not stay white. This is just like white vehicle compares to a darker color vehicle, you will see them dirty more quickly. If you get white and you want to clean the side, then this will be no issue because these speakers are water-resistant.

My laptop works but the screen died. Both my TV & laptop have HDMI hookups. Can I use these to make my TV my computer screen?
Yes, It should work fine. I watch online movies using my laptop connect with an HDMI cable to my TV or my projector. It works fine. You might have an issue with screen size and resolution, but this is a temporary fix to be able to use your laptop with a damaged monitor. My laptop only has the newer USB connection but NO HDMI so I use an adaptor which allows me to connect an HDMI cable to my laptop. See image.
