The TCL Z100 wireless surround sound speakers are built specifically for TCL TVs that feature Dolby Atmos FlexConnect in my case that would be the TCL QM9K 75" which is currently the finest TV I own. There is also a subwoofer but I have not yet bought that. I bought these with my own money from my local Best Buy and in short, with the right content and surround Codec (Dolby ATMOS) they are quite impressive.
I am a now retired Electronics Technician with a passion for audio and video and those two worlds happily collide in the realm of modern movies. I have long had a Denon AVR-X4300H bought in 2016 at my local Best Buy for our home theater. The 9.2 channel setup of consists of 9 speakers and 2 powered 8" subwoofers all wired into the Denon AVR. It is fantastic! I also own a Denon Home Soundbar paired with 2 Home 150s as wireless rear channels and a Denon Home powered subwoofer. When I got the TCL QM9K I knew my wife would want me to buy and try the companion Z100 speakers so I went to my local Best Buy and ordered up a pair!
Setup, which often takes about a half hour for best results with my Denon AVR took only a few minutes and is easily done via the controls and easy to follow instructions in the menu of the QMK series of TVs!
Did I just say setup takes minutes. That's it! Super fast and ridiculously easy.
I put on the 4K version of "Aquaman" and adjusted the TVs Volume to suit my taste. Per a quite web check, the TCL Z100 has the following in each speaker enclosure:
1 x Front-facing Dome Tweeter (silk membrane, 0.8 inches) for clear highs.
1 x Front-facing Midrange Driver (2 inches) for vocals and dialogue.
1 x Front/Down-firing Woofer (4 inches) dedicated to bass and low frequencies.
1 x Upward-firing Driver (angled at 15 degrees) specifically for overhead height
1 x Front-facing Midrange Driver (2 inches) for vocals and dialogue.
1 x Front/Down-firing Woofer (4 inches) dedicated to bass and low frequencies.
1 x Upward-firing Driver (angled at 15 degrees) specifically for overhead height
The results with the right film and volume settings are quite impressive! There was a LOT of rear channel sound coming from both the front firing and top/bottom firing Z100s in high action sequences of "Aquaman". "Predator" was equally fantastic as was "Troy" and many more. Is it as impressive as my 9.2 channel set up? In a word, no. But it is without a doubt far more impressive in that it takes up pretty much 95% of the room space as the more involving and bulky 9.2 channel system. My wife is also much happier because of the downsizing in our media room!
I have had a Dolby Surround setup since they first became available in the mid-80s and Dolby Atmos has been with me since 2016. The TCL Z100s are both a great gateway to a fully multi-channel system and if you are lacking the space they provide much of the affect you are looking for and in truth you can add the TCL 100 Subwoofer and 2 more TCL Z100 speakers to the QM9K TV or you can have 3 TCL Z100 speakers and skip the subwoofer for a total of 5 (!) wireless Z100 speakers!! I may give that a go at a later time by adding the Z100 powered Subwoofer!
Highly recommended? Indeed!

I have long been a Roomba owner having bought 7 of them for myself, family and friends over the years and all of them bought at Best Buy. I have tested and tried others and for me iRobot seems to be one of, if not the best robotic vacuums and auto mopping units available today. So when it came time to upgrade the upstairs vacuum and having recently tested and now own a Roomba iRobot 405 Combo taking good care of out downstairs area I decided on the Roomba iRobot 505 Combo 505 and I can say without hesitation that it is yet another homerun by the folks at Roomba!
The vacuuming power is...well...even more POWERFUL. The LiDAR (Light Detection And Radar) and front mounted camera both work just as outstanding as the ones on our Roomba 405 Combo and while I have yet to have the Roomba iRobot 505 Combo wash the bathroom tile and the wood floors of the hallway sections of our upstairs my experience to date with the 405 Combo we have downstairs is that it will do so superbly! My Roomba j7(7550) is still running superbly keeping my daughter's home clean and it is several years old and I regularly clean and replace brushes and have only done the battery once so I know Roomba makes a quality product! I am a retired Electronics Technician so I know the importance of preventative maintenance and every Roomba I have bought has been very easy to maintain, including replacement of air filters and the vacuum bags in the home station of self-emptying models. The new application is easy to use and I simply followed the instructions to add it to my system and it has been working without any problems so far and in my estimation I won't have any problems with it getting stuck anywhere due to the LiDAR and camera. There are also front sensors mounted on the bottom to detect stairs so it won't accidentally take a tumble and I have NEVER had a Roomba fall down the stairs in all the years I have owned them. They have been outstanding in every way for us!
Years ago my j7 model took well over an hour and half or so to map out our home's downstairs and about the same for the upstairs when I moved it there but with LiDAR the same mapping took only 10 or so minutes and the unit was back at home base waiting for me to send it on its maiden cleaning voyage! That is fantastic and while the 505 Combo has front bumpers for collision and mapping it rarely needs them, again thanks to the advanced LiDAR and the camera is there to monitor for cables or pet waste (poop!) and you can turn the camera off or on in the application or let it send you a photo of what it encounters during cleaning.
I do not take lightly writing a review and I can honestly recommend this iRobot Roomba 505 Combo for anyone wanting a quality, easy to use and reliable vacuum/mop.

I purchased this for my daughter to use in home schooling her children. She grew up using Apple computers and is very comfortable with them, as am I. She has owned and used a MacBook Pro that I bought for her several years ago but I thought it was time to get her something newer.
She is so very pleased with every aspect of this new MacBook Neo. She tells me that it is much, much faster than her old MacBook Pro (which she is keeping for her children to familiarize them with the Apple OS!). It takes very little time to boot up or shut down and the speed of the new processor is amazingly fast. The screen is also bright and displays artwork, lessons and pictures perfectly with her peripherals including their older printer that she uses for printing out lessons for her children!
All in all she says it is a fantastic computer and she is thrilled to have it!

This is the 4th 65" Hisense I have bought from Best Buy in the last year or so and I just bought a 5th one for my little sister!
Highly recommended?! YES! I bought the first one for myself and the other 4 for my family and friends! That should tell you how much I recommend Hisense!

I bought this because the original I had purchased a few years ago NEVER worked right. It kept losing the feature set for the selection buttons on my '11 Mustang and I would wind up having no climate controls, steering wheels controls and more things either non-operative or completely wrong for my vehicle.
The Install Team at Best Buy San Diego did great job installing setting up this and so far I have not had any problems.
They are excellent technicians and I can't recommend the enough and would gladly give them Five Stars for their professional work. Dylan deserves a special mention as he has been a great help to me with my car stereo over the last few years.

This newest HEOS acquisition is simply outstanding! I have bought over 25 HEOS equipped products for myself and family and friends and am thoroughly familiar with the quality of Denon and Marantz audio equipment and this Amp is another reminder of why I buy Denon and Marantz from Best Buy.
I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch towers that I bought a couple of years ago at Best Buy and a 10" powered sub. Outstanding performance and it does all that I need in the room I installed it in.
If you have wanted to experience the ease of use that is HEOS and the quality that is Denon but want to use your own passive speaker? Buy this little beauty and be prepared to be happily satisfied.
It doesn't take up any real room and neither ads nor detracts from its surroundings. It is unobtrusive but nicely styled and I have a Marantz CD60 hooked to it and that along with HEOS streaming Amazon Music HD, SiriusXM and Pandora along with a ton of Internet Stations (currently 70 presets in my HEOS system) like the Great American Songbook out of the Netherlands, you cannot go wrong.
The recent update to HEOS has made it all even easier to use and group rooms and speakers as your system grows and it will grow because of the ease and convenience of HEOS.
I am ready to buy another HEOS Home Amp but it appears they are out so I may well buy the Marantz version. Either way I know for fact (I have used HEOS since 2016) every product from Denon/Marantz that is a part of the HEOS line will work together!
Highly recommended. YES! Like I said, I not only own HEOS but have given HEOS speakers to a great many people, including a friend in her 80s and she just loves it. She listens to music from Italy as she speaks fluent Italian!

This was purchased as a present for my daughter as her iPad Mini was getting a bit long in the tooth.
I also gave one to her husband and of course I already bought one for me. That should tell you the level of confidence I have in Apple's iPad.
Like my own iPad, this one is (per my daughter) F A S T!! I also gave her the Apple Pen (Gen. 1) and she is using to teach her daughter to write!
My daughter is more than pleased with the performance, the applications that immediately transferred over from her old iPad Mini and the quality of the screen. And it is fast! Much faster than her iPad Mini was!
The battery lasts a very long time and she said it will go for several days and still have plenty of charge left. Because it is used by her daughter, I bought a cover for it. iPads are durable but a year old can test their limits so it is best to be safe!
As I said, I have bought 3 of these in the last six months and all from Best Buy! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'!
Highly recommended? Yup!

I have long been a Dyson enthusiast. We have or have given as presents, multiple Dyson Air purifiers, upright vacuums and Cordless vacuums to family and friends. They are all quality built machines that work year in and out to help you keep your home clean!
This Dyson V8 is the newest edition to our family cleaning arsenal and per my wife it is wonderful!

Powerful? Yup!
Light and easy to manage? Yup!
Did I mention how powerful it is? It really is! And the attachments make clean so much easier, believe me.

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.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
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.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ 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!

iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever.~ Featuring A13 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, for incredible performance in apps, games, and photography. Portrait mode for studio-quality portraits and six lighting effects. Next-generation Smart HDR for incredible detail across highlights and shadows. Cinematic-quality 4K video. And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life~ and water resistance,~ 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!

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.

can i answer my phone on 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!

Oddly enough, I had to LOG OUT of my BB account to ask a question... I have this unit and today I may take it back. I have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting it to make a freaking phone call or receive a text. Kenwood? Do I NEED TO SPEND MORE?
To the Kenwood exper - I have an appointment with BB Car Installation on Jan. 11, 2020. I went there last weekend and the problem persisted in front of three technicians so hopefully they will just install a new unit that works. My phone works just fine in my 2018 Dodge Ram with Android Auto so I too think it is a faulty radio. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Where is the serial number on the ACC1200?
It should be located on a sticker on the unit. Said sticker should also have the password and the MAC address on there. Just make certain to look for "Serial No.", "SN" or some such identifying nomenclature. Hope this helps! Thx!

Would it be beneficial to use more than one extender? What if I were to put a couple upstairs and a couple more downstairs?
I myself use two of these at different locations of our home. They work great and as I said in answering another question, if you have a device that is not WiFi capable but it has an RJ45 input jack, you can simply run a Cat5 or Cat6 cable directly from one of the RJ45 output jacks on the extender to the device and it will work just fine! All the best!

Will this help extend the signal for all my ring cameras
If you search for this particular extender and then enter the password it should do just what you need. Remember to look for the name of your original WiFi router with an _2GEXT or an _5GEXT after it. If your device sees both, choose the one with the best signal strength accordingly matched to everything else in your setup.

Can this handle the new fiber 200gb speed internet i have from metronet
I don't have the specs in front of me but I think the unit is "only" Gigbit capable. My fastest is a mere 400 to 500 mbps via wireless. It's more than sufficient for me but your needs may require more. :-) If you need 200 megabits per second vs 200 gigabits per second (it may have been a typo on your part?) you should be fine with this extender.
