For those that feeeeeeeeeeeeel I am too much of a schmoozer in my reviews, here's this.
This device is not all that great. It needs constant babysitting and rebooting. Even the previous version I had was slightly better. It goes down frequently and HARD.
And this is why I ALWAYS purchase a BB protection/replacement plan. If the Linksys Folks would care to proffer their thoughts on my "when it works, it works only fair but when it doesn't work that is pretty much half the time so I am grateful even for when it does work wireless router".
I am BB Elite Plus and I gave this device past my 45 day return window to give it a chance. Never again because now I would have to use my Extended Warranty to replace it and I would NOT replace it with the same model.
Unless Linksys Folks can explain what they think might be going on with it. It just drops out. Computers, wireless speakers, you name it. My Heos speaker system constantly loses communication and when the router comes back online I have to manually set them ALL UP AGAIN via Cat5 cable. This upsets me no end.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

...It's a MicroSD memory card with more storage capacity than the computer that took us (the U.S.!) to the Moon in 1969!
With tax it was about $21 on sale. Sooooo...I bought two of them. And they both just flat out work.
I do recommendo-a-mundo these cards!

And as is always the case with me, I do NOT purchase junque for either family or friends. This was purchased to replace an ancient HP laptop that would take several minutes to boot up and even more to logon and check email.
It is a Chromebook.
It is quite speedy not only compared to her old laptop but to other tablets I have purchased over the last few years.
My friend is soooooooooooooooo happy with her Chromebook! She likes the speed, the ability to add storage via a MicroSD (I have alreadyinstalled a 64 gig card for her!) and the picture and sound are worlds ahead of her old HP.

She can watch a film on it with ease. She can listen to her Pandora station on it too. With ease!
So then...Do I recommend this little device? As Ralph Malph and Pottsie Weber might say, "Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!"
Yup. I do.

...More than adequate! I purchased this for my daughter and her excellent husband. I do NOT buy junque for either friends or family. Apple makes a quality product and this particular MacBook Pro is nothing but a quality piece of equipment.
Is it FAST? Yup!
Is it beautifully made? Yupp!
Is the screen superb-a-mundo excellente'? Yuppers!

Look, I am not here to lie to you just to make myself out to be something other than a satisfied BB & fApple customer. My daughter and her husband reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like their new PowerBook! Like, not "love". Only a fool pretends to love something as inanimate as an inanimate device.
Buy one and I seriously doubt you will be disappointed. I am not. Again, I do NOT buy junque. Neither should you.

We bought for use in our home gym in the garage. The extra benefit is our 16 year old Labratard pooch reeeeeally likes the breeze this thing makes. He lays in front of it and snoozes like he was a puppy again.
So then, it's great for working out and it's even better for a seasoned citizen pooch! Do I recommend it?
YES! And highly so.

And it works as advertised. I use to count my steps. I use it to count my calories burned. I use it to check my blood pressure. I use it to listen to my Pandora stations. I use it mostly for telling time!
I use it in the real world. And so will you. When you get right down to it and wrist watch is a very handy device and if it's an Apple Watch then it is handy and more. I bought the 40 mm version and while I have a 7.5" wrist, the watch looks fine on me.
I have a handicap and tend to fall. A lot. So I got this watch from Apple as my kids said I could set it up so that if I know myself out (again!) it will call for help. So far I have NOT tested that aspect of it but it is an otherwise fine timepiece and one I recommend solely on the basis that it keeps accurate time, is silent while doing so and when silence is neither wanted or needed, it can play my Pandora stations!
I have tried the EKG doohickey a few times and each time i said I was fine. I knew that... ;-) If you want a "smart" watch you could do far worse than a new fApple watch! I like mine very much! Highly recommended? You betcha!

This Roomba is El Fantasitco! Super-A-Mundo! Excellente'! It's a modern version of the Flintstone's Mammoth-Vacuum! It looks cool and it works GREAT!
I really like it. Even better, my wife likes it too. It has mapped our downstairs and can clean the whole area or just the ones you choose, Living Room. Family Room. Kitchen. Entry Way. You choose and it just does it. Nigh on flawlessly too.
Oh it may get stuck on something but so far that has only happened once out of over 39 cleaning jobs (we have furry shedding pooches!).
It took a few days to map the area but now it is sooo easy to use. I have not yet set up an automatic cleaning schedule but will do so soon. I cannot recommend this model enough! It really is that good. I can be at work and tell it to start cleaning and it does! How sweeeet is that! Hey! My older Roomba does that too! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
This Roomba is the bestest one yet and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, especially so to people like myself, seasoned citizens with a slight physical handicap. It makes a clean home a clean breeze.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

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.

Maybe. Maybe not. Mine sometimes works (rare) but usually doesn't. Very fristrating but now I am told it may be because I have a Motorola Android Phone.

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?
Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could. It goes back today because I can't find out anything about how to get around Roku's insistence I provide them with PII and credit card info that they have no need for. I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!
