So far only used to make smoothies for kids and margaritas for adults and has worked great for these. Bought the Ninja insulated stainless cup as well to make healthy smoothies to take to work, how convenient. Is loud, especially with ice, but is expected, especially with the power this has. Due to size and convenience we leave sitting on counter. Can’t use 72oz pitcher while sitting under upper cabinets, but can use cups. Easy to move though with the levers on sides to release the suction cups as you lift up. The suction cups are necessary to keep the Ninja from moving, especially when using the IQ programs.

Was going to install but wasn’t hip on paying $30 a year to record video. Returned and decided to wait on Nest to release its doorbell camera hoping they won’t charge for video or snap shots. Arlo doesn’t charge for 7 day recording with their cameras, so don’t understand why Ring needs to charge, at least basic video or snap shots.

These fit well on the Arlo cameras and make the cameras difficult to see. Mounted to black post by driveway.

These have good reviews but I was leary, so bought to try. Liked since small so not very noticable. I placed both opposite my driveway in front of garage, one facing house/Garage and the other facing down driveway. These alert me when somebody enters the driveway and takes video as long as it is seeing motion. Saves 7days for free which is great and easy to download as well. Batteries have lasted over a month and still at 50+% (video setting at “optimized” between video quality & battery life. Note that this uses its own WiFi from its hub to connect to cameras.

Bought to use with voice control with Echo, but saw they had another one with smart control remote that controls hue lights, so decided to return and wait to see if they eventually have that other one on sale. In the meantime will stay with using my Harmony 700 remote which works great.

Bought to back up Apple computer. Have to map drive for Apple, but didn’t automatically start when plugged into computer. Was at point at retuning but then after unplugging and plugging back into computer several times got it to map the drive. Once drive was mapped it seems to work as expected.

Fairly compact backpack, but not a whole lot of extra pockets for computer accessories, etc. Has pockets for both computer & tablet. Looks nice. Does not have shock absorbing shoulder straps like other models have.

Originally bought to travel with for work so can put on back through airports. Still using to carry into local work. Comfortable on back, several pockets & pouches for size of backpack. Like having pocket for both computer & tablet. Like cable inside carrying handle, feels strong along with shock adsorbing shoulder straps.

Was looking for a router with good coverage that could handle multiple devices (family of 6). Was recommended this Asus RT-AC3100 router. Worked great for mounting vertically on wall and able to move antennas. After a couple days of hooking up it quit sending out 5ghz wifi, turned off & turned back on, working. After another day quit sending 2.4ghz wifi, turned off & back on, working. After another day quit working completely, power light on and that's it, turned off & back on multiple times, pushed reset button ... nothing, dead. Returned and exchanged for another one, hooked up, after 4 days of working fine Internet stopped working, it stopped communicating with my modem. Called Asus support, took like 10 minutes just to go through automated system to get to router support, then on hold listening to some guy say how good Asus is and their products, but nothing saying I'm on hold waiting for the next available representative, so put phone on speaker and waited to see if somebody answered. After several minutes got customer support. They said there was a firmware update causing the communication issue and I needed to install the previous version of firmware. They emailed me a link to the firmware and instructions. Did what it said trying on my Mac and a Windows computer, kept getting Firmware install failed. Called back to Asus support, remembered prompts (5, 3, I believe) and was much faster. Talked to a new person, told me I had to be hard wired to the modem, which the previous person and instructions didn't mention. Tried but still got same failed message. Support then told me to return to Best Buy which I did. I'm done with Asus and going to give the Netgear X6 a try, which is the one I was going to buy originally until the Asus was recommended. I didn't like the parental controls on the Asus either, you couldn't blanket the controls, you had to add controls as each device was added to the router, which when the kids have friends over with their devices becomes a pain to go in and add parental controls, and can only have a total of 16 devices on parental controls. With adding parental controls to my devices that have internet access, 3 smart tvs, 4 smart DVD players, 4 iPhones, iPod, 4 tablets, 4 computers I'm beyond the 16 devices ....

Haven't used a whole lot yet, but seems to work fine when have. Apps seem to be fast, faster than the Samsung DVD player (several years old) that this one replaced.

Can it prevent restarting the modem when power outage? I want my Internet connection still alive from a quick power outage. Thanks.

Yes, if you have the modem plugged into the battery backup side.
