Look, there's not a lot to this review other than this little device takes the frustration out of my particular cell phone by allowing me to PLUG IN A PAIR OF WIRED headphones! :-)
One of the dumbest and more aggravating things to happen in the world of 'phones is the disappearance of the min-jack for wired headphones. Stupid but I get why they did it.
To annoy us.
This takes away the annoyance. It is WORTH it!

Trust me on this. This is an exciting, albeit totally unbelievable (as if any action-adventure film is) movie! Buy! Buy! Buy it!
Not even Halle Berry could mess this one up and to be honest, she did an okie dokie job in her role. Looking forward to a John Wick IV!

Deep huh?
This is just a fun film. It's escapist fantasy and if you go in realizing this, then it will be fun, fun, FUN! The picture and sound are quite good and the story and dialog or capable enough of keep you engaged. I liked it better than the two previous Hellboy films, both of which I own.

Bose - SoundWear™ Companion® Sweat and Water Resistant Cover - Blue
Don't worry about a little rain, dust or a lot of sun. Both the Bose SoundWear Companion wearable speaker and the high-quality speaker cover are sweat- and weather-resistant, so moisture won't sneak through and dust won't stick to it. And the cover is four-way stretchable, so it fits the speaker snugly.
It's Blue without the Meanie part! (Get it?)

It's blue. It's a blue cover for my Bose® Soundwear Companion™ 'phones,
Looks good. I use it when I am cleaning the black one. Sweetness made into a cover.
It's a nice blue cover. What is not to like, unless of course you don't like blue? Would that make you a "Blue Meanie"? ;-)

I still despise talking to "Alexa". The sound is quite good and I primarily listen to Sinatra, Mathis, the Beatles, etc. The picture quality is fine and I am hoping to use this as a monitoring station for home security video.
I do recommend it. I just loath talking to "Alexa". Never liked doing that and never will. Ease of use is only four stars because of "Alexa". GAAAAACK!!!!

Yup. Four. I gave three of them as gifts because I like to give something that I know is an excellent product and having owned several sets of Bose® speakers, including the legendary 901s, I have ZERO reservations about buying something from them.
The workmanship is excellent. The sound superb . The style, is beyond reproach. The sound? Yeah...Again, SUPERB. This speakers, these "headphones" are not for the stuck up of the frAudiophile World (I read that term on the internet and it is hilarious!), they are for REAL people that enjoy listening to music, NOT equipment. Bose makes excellent products for people, not SNOBS.
Only a snob listens to equipment while a person listens to music. Music is the soundtrack of our lives. Love is friendship set to music. These Soundwear Companions are worth the price of admission and I was ready to buy two of them when they went on sale at 50%, soooooo...I bought four of them instead!
They are extremely easy to set up and you can use the Bose App or just hook them up via Bluetoof without the App. They work and they reproduce music beautifully. I gave one pair to my son and two pair (a pair of pairs!) to my brother and his wonderful wife! They really LIKE them! My sister-in-law is a Goldsmith and can easily wear them and enjoy music while working at her bench. She wears them in their garden. She wears them around the house. They both wear them around the house and like my son, they both reeeeeeeeeeally like these 'phones!
I am certain you will too. Highly recommended? Yup. Trust me...I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

...It's a keyboard. A keyboard. That's exactly what it is. Not too exciting, huh? It lights up which is handy when it's darkish in the room. But on the whole, it is a freakin' keyboard.
And it does exactly what a keyboard should do. Don't believe me? It's doing keyboardish stuff write (get it?!) now.
I recommend one of these if you need a KEYBOARD. :-)

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display – the brightest iPhone display yet.¹ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life² and water resistance,³ it's so much of the iPhone you love, in a not so big size.
Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

Insignia™ - 33-Lb. Portable Ice Maker
Only at Best BuyChill drinks at your next party with this Insignia portable ice maker. The compact design fits easily on the counter, while an included scoop and basket make it easy to fill drinks and empty leftover ice. With a freezing time of seven to 13 minutes, depending on cube size, this Insignia portable ice maker ensures you're never out of ice.
Is this portable Ice Maker easy to clean? We've had issues with a similar product in the past that made it not worth the hassle.
I have no clue if there is an official procedure but...When I am done for the day making my ice, I simply turn it off, unplug it and face the drain plug toward the sink, remove the cap and let it drain. I then dry out the easily reached areas and let it sit with the lid open for a couple of hours. That's it. It seems to work for me and I use mine a LOT.

iRobot - Roomba i7+ (7550) Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum - Charcoal
Vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life. The i7+ learns your home and navigates to where the messes are, right when they happen—so you can effortlessly keep your floors clean. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant, “Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table” and consider it done. After each cleaning, the i7+ empties itself into Dirt Disposal bags that hold up to 60 days of debris so you can forget about vacuuming for months. Personalized cleaning recommendations and seasonal suggestions help keep floors clean year-round, and 10x the Power-Lifting suction* paired with self-emptying convenience help make life a whole lot easier.
Do you have to use Google Assistant or Alexa to operate this? Or is the Roomba app sufficient? Thanks
The Roomba App is more than sufficient. I really don't want or need (though others might!) Alexa or Hey Google to do this for me so...The Roomba Application is all you need to get this Roomba working! I can even tell both my Roombas (different models, one of which is about two or three years old now) to start cleaning remotely from my office. I simply select the Roomba app on my iPhone and tell the Roomba to start cleaning. It does so every time without fail and it does it via my cell (there is NO WiFi at my work) to my home. Roombas are my favorite robot vacuums!

Can you move the Roomba to another level in your home? Will it map out a second floor and keep multiple maps?
It should map out the new area and you can then name it 2nd Floor or whatever you choose. You would have to take the unit and physically place it there. It keeps multiple maps or at least for me it has. I suppose when charging time comes you will have to take it back downstairs or have moved the base to the second floor. I cannot recommend this Roomba enough. It has made life a little bit nicer for us! All the best!

Nope. It's kinda like a baby in that you have to change the poopy diapers. It takes approximately 33.3232949349434 seconds for me to do this so I bet you'll be just fine!

Does this vacuum work on a 5 GHz WiFi
No it does not. If you have a Mesh System WiFi you will have to go into the router and separate the two frequencies in order for your vacuum to see the 2.4 frequency and then all will be groovy! At least that's how we did it on mine and my daughters and they work just fine. I believe one of the factors behind this using the 2.4 may be that range/distance/strength of transmission is greater on the lower frequency.
