A frustration with regular toasters is when the dial gets moved and you don't know it and your level of toasting changes.
This toaster solves that. The display shows you the toasting time. and can be adjusted in 15 to 20 second increments.
There is a cancel button that will stop and eject.
It is plenty wide for a good size bagel.

I replaced my Titanium AfterShokz because my new puppy chewed them up. They had excellent sound. However, the Aeropex are a next level up.
I really like the button on the left bow that you can press once to pause and press twice to skip to the next song.
Very comfortable for long wear, works will with glasses.
The only drawback, which is also a benefit, is that they project a little behind your head so wearing a stocking cap can be conflicted.
However, unlike some other brands not having the back side press against your head makes them more comfortable for long term wear.

Professional all the way across the board.
Setting up a TV is not necessarily a difficult task. But when you purchase a large expensive TV you do not want to take the chance that you did something wrong and it does not work after you set it up.
With Geek Squad set up if it is not working when they are done they will take care of it right away.
Quick, clean, and professional.
They called when they were in transit with an estimated arrival time and they were early.

Great second controller.
The PS5 controllers are excellent and have good battery life. However, this is a second one so when the first one loses power I can keep playing.
Also, great to have when a friend comes over to play

What is the impedance of the speakers 4, 6, 8 ohms etc., and are they wall mountable?

The sub is 6 ohms and the satellites are 4 ohms.

The satellites all have the standard screw attachment.

I know you can connect different devices to these speakers but how about 2 computers so I can share the surround between 2 of my systems?

I have it hooked up to my gaming computer using the primary Intel HD audio connections and I also have it hook up to my work computer via 3.5 mm to RCA inputs on the sub. I listen to music on it while working and it sounds great. Better from the primary inputs, but still good.

How many watts is the subwoofer?

The subwoofer is 165 watts.

Not enough in my mind for supporting home theater, but I have the sub less than 2 feet from my chair and it is really solid for computer gaming.

Can I use this system with a television?

Provided your TV has the proper out puts you can input it into the system.

Though I do feel it is set up best for a Computer. The input from your TV could use the digital audio inputs or from the TV's headphone jack

there is no HDMI

There is a button on the remote to adjust levels.

You have the ability to independently adjust the Center, Sub, rears (both together) and fronts (both together)

I have the sub on the floor next to my chair and I can feel the vibration.

They were out of stock when I found out about them. I put them in my saved area and set it up for notification. I received the notice and purchased them immediately. There must have been only one becuase I looked again in a few minutes and it said out of stock

I saw on the logitec website these speakers for 399$. Why are these so cheep here? Are the these brand new or Fixed??

I got them brand new from BB priced at $299. I was also curious as getting brand new or open box. The system was brand spanking new and did not look touched at all.

Would this be compatible with a Dell XPS 8900 Desktop. It has Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller. Processor is Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.4 GHz. Could this SSD be plugged in and designated as the boot up device ? Thanks!

You will need to see if your computer has an available PCI Express 3.0 slot available

From what I can see on the specs for this computer it should have one.

However, I would recommend having a Geek Squad member do the work for you.
Installing the card is pretty easy. But the process of switching it to the boot drive is more tricky.

It may be more cost effective to buy a new computer.
