We bought this thinking that we could replace one of our old office phones with this one and we were wrong. I'm assuming it only works if you replace it within the same system.

I picked these up for under $8.00 when on sale. Not sure why they were so cheap as they work as intended. My only gripe about them is the faceplate. The holes for the screws on the metal bracket don't line up with the holes on the plastic faceplate and you will be cursing when trying to screw the plate on. I eventually got it on but could have done without the hassle. I'd buy them again at the same price but nothing more.

I bought this for my mother in law who wanted a large tv for her living room. She isn't into specs and doesn't watch 4k. I purchased it while on sale during their Door Buster sale. Paid $550 for it and if this were purchased at its normally advertised price I might feel ripped off knowing better sets could be had at a similar price. Only 2 HDMI ports are on this set and might be an issue for people looking at specs. I have yet to see this tv with a 4k feed but I'm sure it wouldn't look horrible. 1080i looks about right for what you're spending on this tv. Just temper your expectations when purchasing this tv and you'll be happy. If you want big and crisp quality, expect to spend alot more than this one.

Decent if bought at the right price.

I picked this up for $20 when it was on sale and wouldn't recommend spending a dollar more for it. It has some ok games that come preinstalled on it, my favorite being Syphon Filter. I had fun reminiscing the times I originally played it in the early 2000s. I picked this up for my little girls thinking they would have fun playing it and they do but not for long. The controller cords are very short, maybe about 3 feet long and it doesn't come with a power cord. I used an old micro usb power block that I had laying around. Anything more than $20 and you're wasting your money.

 Tetris 99 + 12-Month Switch Online Individual Membership - Nintendo Switch
Tetris 99 + 12-Month Switch Online Individual Membership - Nintendo Switch
99 players. Large-scale battles. Nonstop puzzle action. Use your skills and strategy to knock out the competition online and become the last player standing. With this purchase, you'll also receive a 12-month Individual Membership to Nintendo Switch Online, and members can look forward to competing in upcoming online events* to earn in-game themes or even My Nintendo™ Gold Points. In the 99 Battle mode, you can target opponents by sending them Garbage Blocks, but be careful, your rivals can target you back. Defeat opponents to acquire K.O. Badges that may give you the advantage on future attacks. More of a traditionalist? Then see how long you can last offline in the single-player Marathon mode. While offline, you can take on 98 CPU players all by yourself, take on 97 CPU opponents with a friend on one Nintendo Switch system, or face off with up to seven other players who have their own systems and games via local wireless connection. But for the ultimate in puzzle co-op, head online* for 49 players vs. 49 players team battles; the team with the most K.O. Badges wins.

I first played this game for the first time on my original Gameboy back in the day and wanted it when my family and I bought the switch. I'm glad I purchased this game. While a bit different from the original Tetris, this one is still just as fun with the addition of knowing you are playing against other people online. An additional bonus is this game comes with a free year of Nintendo switch online play!

I usually go between iPhone and Android every other phone. and I'm glad I skipped the 10 and went with this one instead. I was anticipating the Pixel 4 until it was released and underwhelmed me. The camera on this phone at night time is absolutely breathtaking. You need a steady hand or tripod to take advantage of the night mode but, Wow! If you are on the fence, do it and if you are debating between this and the Pixel 4, get the iPhone. Apple has regained the picture quality crown from Google.

 Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max Leather Case - Black
Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max Leather Case - Black
These Apple-designed cases fit snugly over the curves of your iPhone without adding bulk. They're made from specially tanned and finished European leather, so the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The machined aluminum buttons match the finish of your leather case, while a microfiber lining inside helps protect your iPhone. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you're charging wirelessly.Just like every Apple-designed case, it's put through thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it's built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.

Great case for the iPhone 11 Pro Max. A little expensive, but I bought it when it was on sale. Adds protection and has a luxury feel to it but does not add too much bulk to the phone.

I wanted to like these so bad. Unfortunately, they did not work consistently. Lots of interference and drop outs. Please don't waste your time and money on these. Absolutely horrible. Not much else to say other than, they aren't worth it.

I wanted a camera system so that I could keep an eye on my property. I understand that a wired system is much cheaper and has the capability of always recording but I didn't want to go through the hassle of running wires across my entire house. I thought the extra price of having a wireless system was worth it so I took the plunge on the Arlo pro 2 system. Is this system perfect? No. Is it worth it? Yes! The battery charge will last anywhere from a month and a half to 2 months before needing a recharge. Notifications are sent to my phone within 1-2 seconds of detecting motion or sounds. If you are familiar with Ring doorbell, then you know about the delay in recording when movement is detected. Overall, I think this is the best wireless camera system out there.

I compared several reviews of different models in this price range and this one was by far the best bang for the buck. This model has a mapping feature, which means this vacuum does not go in random patterns and maps the ceiling of your home to navigate throughout your home. It is extremely efficient. Don't pay too much attention to the battery life as this model will resume vacuuming where it left off before it left to the base to recharge. Is it perfect? No, I don't believe any robot is perfect but it will cut down the need to manually vacuum SIGNIFICANTLY.

I have a SA-WMS525 Sony subwoofer. I want to be able to play music through my iphone wirelessly using this. is this possible? if is, how? does it do it through bluetooth?

No, this is the wrong product for that. What you need is a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver. This is to plug in a speaker that utilizes RCA connections. The most common use of this is for hooking up a subwoofer on the opposite side of a room from a receiver.

Unfortunately, no. But this model does vacuum in a zig-zag pattern and not a random pattern. It is very efficient.
