I bought this for my daughter and her husband to use in their new home. I too have a Dyson vacuum and so I highly recommend this you those of you out there that may (and really SHOULD) be reading this excellent, albeit brief, review.
This thing flat sucks up dirt and pet hair. Mine does and my daughter says their Dyson does too! It's a vacuum and it vacuums like not other vacuum unless you're talking 'bout a Dyson vacuum!
Buy one! It really is THAT good at doing what a vacuum should do, i.e., VACUUM!
Trust me. My daugher, like her most excellent father (i.e., me) knows what she's doin' when she's reviewin'.
Highly recommendamundo!

I got this after watching it with my brother and sister-in-law...I have to see that after viewing this fine and funny film I was unable to sit for days because...I laughed my _ _ _ off! ;-)
It is a very funny film, one that I am sure I will enjoy several times a year. Highly recommended as my brother would not have me watch junque.

These excellente' speakers fit like a glove in the doors and on the rear deck of my 2011 Ford Mustang. They are a vast improvement in sound quality and to be honest (as I always am), I had to change the EQ setting from "Jazz" to "flat" as their reproduction of bass notes on Big Band Swing and Real Jazz is so far above the stock units that my door shook.
Highly recommended? You bet your sweet bippy!
These were installed today and while I am disappointed that the pair of Kicker 8" subs that were SUPPOSED to fit beneath these in the same two doors did not, I am thrilled beyond measure that these speakers deliver enough to keep me happy when listening to Jazz!
Did I mention that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally recommend these? Yup! I do!
But this story is not quite over as next up for the Mustang will be new amplification all 'round. Stay tuned, my friends...Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

They did not fit my 2011 Ford Mustang and this in spite of all indications here at Best Buy and elsewhere across the interwebs. They are built like a tank and from those that recommended them I have no doubt they would have sounded fantastico.
I bought two of them for the door mounts in my Mustang. They are said to be "shallow mount" subs but the installer at Best Buy took one look and said "No way are these going to fit in your Mustang. And by the way, they will fry your stock amps."
I trust his word and so I returned them today with a heavy heart. Gosh gee willies, I so looked forward to excellent bass from accoustic Jazz on these subs. I also bout Kicker 6 X 8 speakers for the front doors and rear deck on the same Mustang and they are superb!
The ONLY reason I HAD to return these on the same day they were to be installed is that they did NOT fit the car after all. Given the fanastico sound coming from the aforementioned Kickers that are now installed above the stock Ford 8" subs, I can recommend these IF they fit your vehicle.
The "poor" rating for "ease of use" is due entirely to their NOT fitting my Mustang. If I wanted to put these in one of those sub boxes (and I loath those things) I have no doubt they would please my ears but tax my eyes and trunk space, LOL!

...Doesn't follow Tolkien's book. This is a fine enough film series. I think I figured out how Peter Jackson got three films out of one skinny book: He based it on his ego.
Nothing entirely wrong with that as his Lord of The Rings extended versions were pretty durn swell themselves.
But... And everyone has a but so let's talk about Jackson's really big but: Exempli gratia: Having a "She-Elf" (that is one high-larious term) fall for a dwarf is not just stretching it, it's a ridiculous taffy-pull of a stretch too.
Dwarves bathing in a fountain isn't a stretch, it's just plain weird. And no Tom Bombadil is uforgiveable, hence the four out of five stars. That Jackson would rather have a Hitchcockian cameo and leave out Bombadil is proof of both a sense of humor and a blatant disgregard for Tolkien and his fans.
Having said that, these Blu-Rays are visuall and sonically most excellent. So then. Be excellent to each other and treat you and your family and friends to a Friday or Saturday or Sunday-if-Monday-is-a-holiday Hobbit Fest!
Four stars means tis very recommendamundo! Trust me...I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

The transfers are not the best I've seen but they are pretty darn good and not just for the moolah!
Two words. Kinda. Sorta.
(1) CARY
(2) GRANT
"My Favorite Wife" is a big favorite of mine as is "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer". "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse" is another "Gary Granite" (ala "The Flintstones"!) favorite of mine.
"Night and Day" is good (it's about Cole Porter) but not exactly a favorite because oddly enough I've never seen more than a few minutes of it.
Highly recommended? I also sent a set to my brother and his wonderful wife, so... Yuppers!

It is not as fast as an older i7 Windows machine and the touch screen does not work as well as several other laptops I have. I gave a 14 inch Dell touch screen laptop to my older brother and it was not as fast but at least it worked without me having to constantly reboot it.
So then. I will soon return this and look for something else. I am Elite Plus and have just over (at time of this review) to return it. I have given it enough time and I just had to force a hard boot again to get it to wake up!
Maybe it is just this laptop? I do not know and neither do I care. I have almost given up. It does it when I am listening to music, watching a movie or just smurfing the web.
Samsung? Any ideas? Any help? Anything?

Yup. I bought these for my brother and his wonderful wife and like me, they really like these films. It's all about revenge and John Wick serves it up chilled to perfection.

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

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!

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.

Can the wifi feature be disabled or turned off?

I never activated mine so as near as I can tell if it doesn't have access to your WiFi, that feature is not on.

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!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

In gaming mode the refresh rate is 144Hz.

when it indicates Google tv, what does that mean?

Google TV is the OS (Operating System) for this TV. You can simply buy a Roku, Amazon or some other device that features your preferred OS.
