It is a cable meant to take a RCA output and transfer it to a mini-jack input. And...It does it just fine!
Highly recommended because it just plain works and does NOT cost more than the equipment I am using it on!

So far, soooooo good! I rid myself of a fApple Watch because my iPhone went bouncing down the roadway and into a bazillion pieces none of which I could recover so that my warranty could be honored at Best Buy. My watch was pretty much made useless without the iPhone. Dumb. Really dumb. And I bought the warranty but could not safely get any of the parts as I was on a motorcycle and the road was BUSY!
So I bought this to go with an Android phone. UGH...Android is nothing special, but the watch is.
It has a tactile feeling of pure quality and seems to work well. My main complaint is that I cannot turn off the Blootoof so I CANNOT WEAR IT AT WORK! I filled out the survey by Withings and hopefully they will update it so I can turn it off when I am at work
If not, I have another month + to take this otherwise fine timepiece back and get something else that I can turn the Blootoof OFF on.
Recommended with the caveat that you CAN'T TURN OFF THE BLOOTOOF!!!!

I bought this for my brother and his wonderful wife. I have both BobSweep and iRobot vacuums and they do too. But...Here comes the big but, iRobot has quickly become the family favorite.
They just plain work. I often say I do not buy anything that I would consider junque and iRobot is as far from that as one could get in the world of robotzied vacuums. Highly recommended by myself and my brother and his wife!
I have NEVER been disappointed by this brand and again, I don't buy garbage for those I love.

Poor connectivity issues (even after firmware updates) and ridiculously useless "touch controls" made these without much merit in my eyes and ears.
They could not hold a connection while my older Sony MDR XB950N1s worked as always, i.e., flawlessly. This was also evident in my test of the Sennheiser PXC 550iis and their Momentum 3 ANC headphones.
I was not willing to keep hoping these would work. Their noise cancelling was not up to the XB950s abilities either. I may have gotten a bad seed but I was not willing to keep returning and trying another pair, so...Back they went. Others have a different experience.
This is mine. Not theirs. ;-) No recommended by me at this moment in time.
I settled on the Bose QC45s as the keepers of my recent ANC headphone comparison and alternate between those and my excellent Sony XB950s! The Bose are better than the XM4s but so too are my Sony XB950s.

I recently tested several pair of ANC Headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4s and the Sennheiser Momentum 3s and PXC 550iis,
I was thoroughly disappointed in all three of those models. They all displayed broken connectivity via BlooToof 5, continually dropping the signal entirely or stuttering connectivity that made it sound like it was 1955. Their noise cancelling was nothing to write home about and I was none too happy with that (or the poor connectivity for that matter!). Additionally, the touch controls of these headphones are nothing but fluff and nonsense. In the real world tactile buttons are much better. Familiarity does not breed contempt, it ensures COMFORT. There is SPACE aplenty on each of these 'phones to have had real buttons that you can use but apparently these manufacturers wanted to be "cutting edge". No thanks.
I have a pair of Sony XB950N1 that are vastly superior in connectivity and noise cancelling to all three of the models I just mentioned. They have easy to locate and use buttons too. And yes, I did any firmware updates that each 'phone recommended. The Sony WH-1000XM4 update was useless. And then...
...I bought the Bose QC45s. They work. They work as advertised. No problems before or after firmware updates. Their app works just fine too and works with my Bose Soundware Companions and my Bose Tempo Frames too!
The QC45s have the best ANC available bar none. They have zero BlooToof connectivity issues (YES!) and they have real buttons! I have seen reviews where the person claims that the WM4s will block out a lawnmower. Pfffffft! That is a canard if ever there were one. None of these headphones will do that. I tested them with our Dyson V7 Animal vacuum and the remove the sound of the power head quite well but the motor itself can still be heard. The QC45 is better but you can still hear the vacuum motor. I can still easily hear my music when vacuuming but am more than aware a vacuum is running. LOL!
Not a big deal and if it is to you, then you don't want headphones you want stickem-in-your-ear-plugs, LOL! Listen to music when you are done vacuuming.
The QC45 is excellent when compared to anything else currently on the market. They have real buttons (easy to find and use!), are beautiful to look at, feel and look like what they are, i.e., a QUALITY product made to last and reproduce music superbly with or without the ANC on. I do NOT require 57 levels of noise reduction. On or offf is just fine. The aware mode on the QC45s does just that. It allows you to be more aware of what is going on around you. I did not use the voice assistant as I can touch the screen on my cell phone, DAP (Digital Audio Player) or Grace Digital Link (the finest internet "streamer" available and the most affordable too!) to make my selection(s).
I cannot think of a viable or reasonable reason any sane (read: NOT a frAudiophile or audiofool, LOL!) would not think (as opposed to "feeeeeel") the Bose QC45s are not an excellent, quality product worthy of one's own hard earned money. Highly recommended? You betcha!

Yes, you read correct-o-mundo! These knives are excellent! I bought two sets, one for my brother and his wife and one for myself. Decades ago my brother used to work for Cutco and he told me that these knives are at least the equal of those he sold back then.

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don’t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you’re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you’ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Motorola - Edge 256GB (Unlocked) 2021 - Nebula Blue
The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8” Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.
This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.

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!
I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.
Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I put the SIM from my unlocked Motorola Z3 Play into the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) and it works great. It was so easy even I could do it.
And I did!
And I did!

Take a breath of fresh air with this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier. A dimming LED display and quiet operation make this purifier ideal for use in your bedroom, and the integrated fan delivers a burst of cool air on hot evenings. Created to remove 99.97 percent of allergens, this Dyson Pure Cool air purifier lets you breathe easy year-round.
Is this a fan also? Or just a air purifier.
It's a fan. It's a filter! It's a...a...Fanilter!
Yes, it is both in one. It's two! Two! TWO devices in ONE! It works fantastico and I have no regrets in buying or recommending it to anyone. If you want a more powerful fan, look elsewhere but if you NEED a :"FANILTER", look no further. All the best to you!

Denon - HEOS 5 HS2 Wireless Speaker - Black
Listen to your favorite music with the Denon HEOS 5 speaker. Inside are two custom-designed tweeters, a passive radiator and two mid-woofers, delivering a hi-fi-audio experience. The singular form and handle let you transport it anywhere with ease, and the Denon HEOS 5 speaker wirelessly streams music from your phone, tablet, cloud, USB and NAS.
Why are these so cheap all of the sudden? Are they going to be discontinued/end of life now that the Denon Home is out?
Per Denon they will be discontinued but still supported and will work with the new "Home" series and all Heos related products. I asked Denon and that is what they told me.

Marshall - Stanmore II Voice Wireless Speaker with Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant - Black
Experience a new dimension of music with this Zound Industries smart speaker. The built-in Amazon Alexa feature lets you change songs without lifting a finger. This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?
I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)

Do I need any other hardware to use with SiriusXM? Does it have the satellite tuner built in?
Not it doesn't have a built-in SiriusXM tuner. You can buy one and have it installed at the same time. I just use my portable with a dock and it's hooked to an input on the unit. That or use the SiriusXM Android App on your phone if you have it.
