I buy this because She Who MUST Be Obeyed has declared it her favourite coffee! To be honest, I don't drink the stuff m'self. To be just as honest, I value peace and quiet and having this particular brand and flavour of brew is the best way to start the day. For her, because it is her fave and for me because it is her fave and makes her day easier to get started.

So then...What have learned here today? Get your wife her most favored B&B (Brand & Blend) of coffee and you shall be rewarded with a smile instead of a frown from your beloved. That is worth it all.

I bought this back in June for some very dear friends (more family, really) and they received it a few days later. But still it doesn't show here that I'm a verified buyer!!!!

I am a Verified Buyer. :-) Yup. I am.

Well...I am! And per my friends this ION Survival Blootoof Speaker is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I've given a couple of other IONs away. One to my son and one more to another good friend, but this one was chosen for this couple as they go camping and this ION has solar charging and a hand crank to help keep the battery powered up and the music playing.

The battery last for several hours and you can also charge your cell phone via the USB outlet. What more could you ask for?

How about built in AM/FM and (*GASP*) Short Wave Radio?! Well it has those two too (cool how I just did that phraseologifcaiton there, huh?).

So, as is my habit, this baby comes highly recommended. I tend to check into things before I buy them, either for myself or family and friends. I've heard from the wonderful folk I gave this unit to and they told me it is most excellent indeed.

Buy one for backayrd BBQing. Buy one for camping. Buy one for NASCARing (izzat a word?). If you have the need for a rugged, powerful and kinda cool looking Blootoof speaker, this ION will fill that need.

Trust me...I know what I'm doing.

This time, for my son. He has taken to weight training and as such has become all the more health conscious about his food. This blender/food processor does not only what he asks of it, but also what he needs.

I bought this to replace a 35+ year old Osterizer blender that simply developed a leak that I could not get to stop. So...I bought my son this new version. Like the previous processor, this unit has a GLASS container and when it comes to blenders and processors, glass is class.

Enough motor power to blend the thickest protein shakes as well as slice up vegetables such as carrots without so much as a wimper. Some here may say, "But SSSS, you give nearly everything you review 5 Stars!"

To that I would say thus - "I don't give anything I buy 5 Stars. It must earn them".

This blender does just that.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Pioneer - 4-Channel Class D Amplifier - Black

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.

See all Q&A for this product

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!

Apple - iPhone SE (2nd generation) 256GB (Unlocked) - Black

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!

Roku - Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player with JBL Headphones and Enhanced Voice Remote - Black

Watch free or paid content over the Internet in 4K resolution with this Roku Ultra TV streaming player. The dual-band channel supports wireless streaming, while the enhanced voice remote enables hands-free operation and lets you create personal shortcut buttons. This Roku Ultra HD TV streaming player includes JBL headphones to enjoy your content privately and an Ethernet port for a wired connection.

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?

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!

Top 250 Contributor

Yes. The Marantz Model M1 is a combination Amplifier with built-in HEOS controlled streamer. You do not need anything other than a pair of passive (i.e., not self powered) speakers and if you wish, a powered subwoofer. The M1 is 2.1 channel ready (i.e., 2 speakers and a powered sub). Thank you!

High pass for sub out?

Top 250 Contributor

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.

Yes of course! You just need to get a VESA standard wall mount for it. Go into your local Best Buy and they will help you right there. If it is not in stock they can order it for you and have it sent to your home or to the store for pick up.
