I've used these for a couple of years now and just bought three more pair (I lost one somewhere at home!). They work . That's it.
THEY WORK.
The case can be stuck to your cell phone case or just carried in a shirt pocket. The only problem is if I set them down outside of their case and forget where I put them. They kinda blend in because they are clear and really thin. They are worth it.

Dyson - DP04 Pure Cool Air Purifier - White/Silver
The only purifying fan to clean a whole room properly*. We design our purifying fans to go beyond test chamber conditions and focus on real home conditions ~ this is more than just having an efficient filter.*Dyson engineers and research concluded that to clean an entire room properly, you need to sense pollution events automatically; capture ultrafine pollutants; and project cleaner air around the room using Air Multiplier technology. Only the Dyson purifying fan is designed and tested to do all of this.**Dyson technology helps create a cleaner, healthier home - Our vacuums and purifiers are scientifically proven to capture particles as small as allergens and bacteria.
So good, I've got a herd of these things!

I've had this for quite a while now and it has done exactly what it is built to do without fail. So...I bought four more Dyson air purifiers. Two TP01 models, one TP02 model and most recently one TP04 model.
And I am about to purchase at least one more of the DP04 models. Maybe two as my older brother and his wife suffer from allergies and I think the DP04 would provide excellent relief in their home.
Highly recommended? Yup. I don't buy junque and Dyson makes an excellent product.

This is a fine laptop. Fast. Quiet. Cool running too, even when charging on my lap as I work. But...Like another laptop I had it also loses the touchscreen feature several times an hour. I have to close the program and reopen it and hope it stops. It does not. This is getting old fast and I have a few days left to return it as I am in the ElitePlus category but I don't want to return it I want it to work.
The only other problem it has is when watching a movie or even a video and I enlarge the screen the top of the screen splits and wavers with the upper image. I don't know how else to explain this but I know it should not do this.
I would still recommend it to friends and family because I am hoping this stupid touchscreen problem can be rectified by firmware and the same with the weirdo screen problem I mentioned. And yes, I have done every update under the sun so far, LOL!

I already own this great little 'botcuum and so I bought this one for my daughter and her family.
That says it all. I don't give junque and this vacuum is really a gem. Of course I named mine "Bob" and they christened theirs "Ed" as in the wonderful cartoon character from "Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy".
Like Bob, Ed gets the job done and keeps the floors cleaned without a problemo baby sister!!!!

Is the film dated? Heck no! It's got Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields along with Jerry Reid and the coolest car of it's time, that Pontiac Trans Am.
No PCBS to be seen or heard and everyone in this film and in the USA is a fan of Country Music (NOT that hick-hop junque that is foisted on us today) and The Bandit. You can see the love in the eyes of Fields and Reynolds every time they look at one another. You can see just how much fun this film was to make and how everyone associated with it was alive with the moments they were putting down on celluloid for generations to come to watch and enjoy.
Highly recommended? Indeed.

An excellent light hearted musical based upon the Faustian premise of selling one's soul to the Devil. Look, they don't make 'em like this anymore because Hollywood has sold it's collective soul so take the time to buy this and enjoy it as often as you wish.
The print isn't the best but the songs, dancing and acting along with a baseball stage is what brings the smiles and the memories flowing back to a time when sports meant something because the players weren't prima donnas (apologies to Dion!).
Highly recommended because it is worthy it!

I got this for me to replace a Fire Tablet 10. I like it a LOT so far. Download speed per Speednet on my giga network (wireless) is 200 or so mbps.
It has my Amazon UHD Music on it. It has my SiriusXM on it. It has my Pandora One on it. It has a 256 gig microSD in it now and so it hase 16,000+ songs of my own on it. I can easily view a movie on it without any buffering problems and the picture is quite good? Sound? I use quality headphones and it outputs the music and movie soundtracks with superlative accoustified greatness.
LOL!
It smurfs the web just fine and travels anywhere I may wish to take it with ease.
I refuse to buy junque and that is why I bought this Samsung tablet: It is EXCELLENTE'!!!!

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Black
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!

I am using a Sonos Arc Ultra and Era 300's with my new QM8K. Will adding these new Z100's to my system add any improvement to what I already have? Will these speakers work in conjunction with my Sonos system?
No because the TCL Z100s are made for the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect ecosystem and Sono is not. I hope this helps you!

High pass for sub out?
I believe the Marantz Model M1 has a low pass filter for the sub out and a high pass filter for the main speakers. The unit is 2.1 ready! The sub out level should be easily accessed and controled via the HEOS screen for "now playing". I hope this helps and if there is any error on my part perhaps the Marantz folks will assist.

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.
Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?
In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

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!!!!!
Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.
I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!
