Yes, you can get an emulator on a Raspberry Pi and all the free games you can find, for a lot cheaper. However, that grey and purple plastic brings back a strong feeling of nostalgia, even with its miniature stature. The controllers feel surprisingly good - compared side-by-side with an actual SNES controller, I didn't notice a difference. You get about 20 SNES classics, many of them very popular titles. Many would be outraged that some titles were not included, "What, no Chrono Trigger?!" Too bad you can't upload additional games. Despite the small library of games, it is a great portable little console. With an HDMI cable and a USB battery, you can take this thing just about anywhere! If you happen to find one, and you have the cash - grab it! ...or don't, and get a Raspberry Pi for $30.

I was struggling with an ISP provided wireless router and getting internet to another room with a wireless extender. My connection was frequently dropped and eventually the wireless extender stopped working all together. After living with a 50 ft ethernet cable stretched across my living room, ktichen, and hallway, I finally decided it was time to spend the big-bucks on new home network hardware. After comparing many of the mesh-wifi devices, I decided on the Google Wifi. It was really simple to install, configure, and have up and running within 15 mins. No more spotty wifi, and I haven't had a single dropped connection within 6 months of use. Along with our high-speed connection, we're able to play online games, stream movies/shows, and browse the web - all simultaneously! I was able to stream to Twitch without a single dropped frame (over wireless). The mobile app is also helpful for monitoring daily internet speeds and usage. We generally average 15-20 devices on the network (multiple cell phones, tablets, computers, game consoles, smart home devices), and haven't had any issues.

After viewing the footage from a recent Cars & Coffee, taken with my action-cam, I realized I could have accidentally shot the latest shaky-cam horror film. I needed a camera stabilizer, but didn't want to pay DJI or GoPro prices. Lo-and-behold the Steadicam Volt, which was priced at a small fraction of those premium-branded stabilizers. After about 10 minutes of understanding how to stabilize my camera in the device (instructions aren't perfect, but I was able to figure it out after some fiddling with the device and its included counter-weights), the rest was pretty easy. Mount phone/camera, turn on device, and start filming! The FPS head-bobbing and unintended Blair Witch shaky-cam were easily smoothed out with this device. I look forward to using this over and over again, and it even collapses into an included bag for easy carry!

The concept is great, but can be difficult in practice. I'm using this to mount my Sony soundbar to the bottom of a 65" LG television in combination with the Rocketfish TV wall mount. Once installed, it was difficult to position and tighten the mount so that the soundbar was flush to the TV - it still hangs about half an inch from the TV. Once in place though, it hasn't moved since installation.

The mount came with all of the required hardware for mounting. Instructions were easy enough to follow. Used to mount a 65" LG television - it's a tight space between the TV and wall, so I would recommend 90-degree HDMI adapters/cables depending on your TV connections.

I had purchased one of these previously and really enjoyed using it. I gave it away when I moved.

It came time I needed another vacuum and bought this model again because I liked it so much! The suction is great, it isn't too heavy, and the "rewind" power chord makes it super easy to store. The filters are washable and re-usable. My only complaint would be that the bristles on the included brush attachment are too short.

Who needs cable when you have a Chromecast? I stream apps (many free) from my cell phone or tablet - such as YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, HGTV, and many more! I have one for each of my TVs. Easily my most favorite gadget for under $40.

Purchased this TV for mounting in front of a treadmill and added a Chromecast. Great picture for a great price. The audio is lacking and difficult to hear over the treadmill, but some external speakers fixed this issue.

Yes, if you're going through HDMI. However, the newer Chromecast Audio device has a 3.5mm aux connection specifically for this purpose.
