The SoundLink Flex wireless Bluetooth speaker is engineered to deliver clear, deep sound that’s powerful enough to fill a room and loud enough for outdoor adventures. Whether hanging from a backpack or lying flat by the pool, the speaker’s PositionIQ technology optimizes the sound for natural audio. The SoundLink Flex portable speaker has a sophisticated, inviting aesthetic and industrial design that blends durability, portability, and utility. With its silicone body, powder-coated steel grille, and reliable utility loop, this wireless speaker goes where you go and plays like you play. Listen to music while hiking, camping, or paddle boarding. Its highly durable materials allow it to withstand the elements and accidental mishaps, from drops to shocks. Its utility loop can attach to a clip or carabiner, so you can hang your speaker almost anywhere. And the Bluetooth outdoor speaker has been rigorously tested to meet an IP67 rating, which means it’s waterproof and dustproof. So, don’t worry if it accidentally falls into water or gets caught in the rain. SoundLink Flex also has a long-lasting battery life, offering up to 12 hours of unplugged play time per charge. For even more immersive sound, pair your SoundLink Flex with another Bose Bluetooth speaker, or connect it to a Bose smart speaker to extend your listening experience from inside the home to outside. Available in Black, White Smoke, Cypress Green, Stone Blue, and Carmine Red.

This is a great little speaker. Relative to the small size, this sounds much bigger then it looks. Very portable and great battery life. I’d definitely buy it again.

I've been using these for the past year and they work really well. I did end up purchasing two sets of 3 in order to provide thorough coverage all through my property (older 2,000 sq ft house, back yard, and garage). This set does really maintain a high speed connection wirelessly or you can plug into the ethernet ports and get ridiculously fast connections (nearly the same as plugging directly into your cable modem). The only slight disappointment is that three of these were just not enough for my house. However, using 6 of them is plenty of coverage at high speeds. Somewhat expensive, but worth it!

I waited until these went on sale and picked them up. Outstanding sound from a reasonably priced set of speakers. The bass is impressive and the smaller satellite speakers are great for separating the higher notes with crisp clean sound. These sound better than some more expensive name-brand speakers I was previously using.

This is a feature-rich ice maker that works well for residential purposes. I’ve found that I like using the schedule feature through the app so the ice maker isn’t running at night while people are sleeping, but it automatically produces ice during the day so we always have ice on hand. The ice tastes good and the machine is relatively quiet compared to cheaper brands. My only issue with this ice maker is that the housing vibrates and makes unnecessary noise, which could be eliminated with some insulating foam/rubber inside the cabinet (or a better housing design). Having an appliance that vibrates in a quiet house gives the impression that it’s poor quality, but overall this ice maker has been great in the 2 months we’ve had it. At this price point, it would also be nice if a water filter was included with the ice maker.

Good reliable ice maker, but it does get noisy. After a few months it started groaning and squealing like a sad monster. However, it does produce good ice quickly.

This TV was such a great price I was concerned that it wouldn't be a good product. However, the picture quality is outstanding and the internal speakers sound great too. I really like the "dialogue clarity" feature too, as it makes it easier to hear characters speaking with background noise in the program. I installed this TV out on my back deck under a gazebo and if it keeps working at least 1-2 years it will still be a great value. I use Roku on all my other TVs, but this one has Amazon built in and it's very good and easy to use.

 Google Wifi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3-Pack)
Google Wifi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3-Pack)
Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.
 

I have AT&T U-verse with AT&T WAP. Does this system replace their WAP? How will my TV boxes know?

Yes, this replaces the wifi portion of your AT&T network. You just use your AT&T modem for the incoming Internet and plug in the Google wireless device into your modem so it can broadcast the wireless signal. The TV boxes and other devices will need be set to recognize the correct network and password information that you use when you set up your new Google system. If you disable your AT&T wireless network, you can just set up your Google wifi with the exact same network name and password information, so all of your devices should be able to connect without changing all of their settings. Otherwise, just create a new network ID and password and then go to each of your TV boxes/computers and set up the new wireless connection information for the appropriate new wifi network.

I have AT&T Uverse with an AT&T modem/router. I heard that mesh systems, in general, don’t work with AT&T modem/routers without going in & making a bunch of technical advanced (aka confusing) changes to the AT&T device... is that true with Google?

I use this with my AT&T modem/router and it works fine. You can simply use the AT&T utility to disable your AT&T wifi signal and then set up the Google wifi. However, I didn't even bother to shut of the AT&T wifi, so I have both wireless networks running. This Google system is just as easy (maybe easier) to set up as any other wireless router I've set up in the past.

Quickly input commands with this Logitech M510 mouse that features laser technology for precision tracking on most surfaces. The Logitech unifying receiver allows simple wireless connectivity.
 

What are the side buttons for

I use my side button for browsing back and forward, whether in a web browser or just navigating through File Explorer when searching for files. I'm sure you can program it for many other uses, but it works great for going forward/backward while browsing.
