I don't frequently get power outages so it hasn't really been put to the test yet. I needed protection from uneven power since my computer is on the same curcuit as a wall AC. The USB ports are a plus.

I bought this because I have trouble hearing dialog on some TV shows and movies. It works great! Set up was very simple. I find that the included optical cable give the best quality sound and also makes the headset volume independent of the TV volume. It was on sale for $70 at the time so I gave it a try. So glad I did. The sound quality is good, just don't expect it to be as good as more expensive headphones.

I bought this device when Best Buy had it on sale for $25. This Fire Stick made my dumb TV a SMART TV. Since I'm an Amazon Prime member, it's great to enjoy all the content that Amazon makes available to it's Prime members. In addition, there is other content that is available free to everyone. The device was a very simple set-up and connection to my WiFi. I had it up and running within 10 minutes of opening the box. The new remote that now controls the volume and power on the TV is so much more convenient than the older Fire Stick remote. I'm so pleased with this purchase.

I already own a Google smart hub (without a screen), so adding this to the Google Home app was a really easy setup. This, not only does everything my other hub does, but also displays the information on the screen. Finding recipes, directions or weather is great when it’s visual as well as audio. Streaming from my iPhone also works from certain apps and watching a music video is great.

This is the first add-on device I have bought for my Google Home. Set up was pretty easy with it’s own app downloaded from the Apple store to my iPhone. The WiFi connected without a problem. Directions aren’t supper clear, but weren’t too difficult to figure out. Getting it to work with Google Home took going to the Help files, but they explained it well. Once working it’s fantastic. I use it simply as a smart timer for my living room lamp. Programming from the app is pretty easy and all info, including WiFi connection is retained even if you move to a different outlet. Voice commands to Google to turn the lamp on or off does not interfere with the programming from the app - on/off times, vacation programming, etc. I will be buying another one for other devices.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.
 
I love this mouse.

I've been using this mouse for a quite a while with my desktop computer. It's fantastic! It feels great in my hand, it's very responsive and the battery seems to last forever. When I saw it on sale for a great price, I bought this second one just to keep in my laptop bag.

This 32" is a perfect size for a smaller space. Picture quality is pretty good and having the firestick built in is a real bonus. That frees up an HDMI port. Having Amazon Prime make it work out perfectly.

Everything works well. I got the free trial because I bought a TV at Bestbuy. It doesn't offer some of the basic channels that I would consider needed to cut the cord. Basic cable double or triple play might end up cheaper if you add the cost of high speed internet.

The mouse doesn't need to be compatible with your bluetooth keyboard they will pair as 2 seperate devices. So yes, they will work together. It's the same as having a bluetooth keyboard and a pair of bluetooth headphones, the computer will recognize them seperately.

Do these headphones work with our Toshiba 55" TV? It is not a Smart TV.

I have it connected to a non-smart LG tv. The bluetooth transmitter works from any sound source that has audio out connectors. All TV's do. And it comes with 3 different types of wire connectors for the transmitter. Audio optical, mini headphone jack and RCA jacks. I find that optical works the best (most all LCD tv's have them) because you can control the TV volume independently of the the headphone volume.
