Good signal range

Verified Purchase:Yes
This router seems to have better signal range than my last router possibly due to the external antennae. This router is highly customizable if you want it to be or you can just keep it simple with the default settings. Some of the navigation menus seem a little redundant and counter-intuitive though, making it hard to find the settings for some features.

Good quiet fan

I used this fan as a front case fan for my desktop PC. It works well and is quiet enough. It is still too soon to see if it will last for years, but it is off to a good start.

Better than Apple TV
on June 22, 2016
Posted by: petridish38

Verified Purchase:Yes
Remember when Apple used to tout that their products "just work?" After having several problems with my older generation Apple TV crashing several times during Hulu, Netflix, and HBO GO to name a few I decided that there is no reason I should give $150 to Apple for a new Apple TV just to have it (probably) crash all the time to the point where it is unusable. Why do I tell you all this? I currently have an iPhone, Macbook Pro, and an iPad. I am heavily invested in Apple, but am getting by just fine now that I have moved my TV streaming to Roku. Unless you are buying movies through iTunes or are heavily using the "strictly Apple" features on the Apple TV, the Roku is a MUST BUY over the Apple TV. It is so much better. It boots up quickly, apps load relatively fast, AND IT JUST WORKS. It also seems to handle buffering well leading to less interruptions for slower connections and the fast forward and rewind features resume playing your video quickly. With other devices, you rewind, then have to wait a long time before the video resumes. This is not the case most of the time with my Roku. Roku also supports all the major apps you want (and probably the more obscure ones too). Oh, and it's much cheaper than the Apple TV.

Quiet, Good software package.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using this drive as a backup drive (Windows 10 File History) for almost a month without issue. In my opinion the software (if you are someone will use it) is better than Seagate. This drive is also quiet. What I don't like is that this drive is not designed to be placed horizontally (on its side). This is probably for ventilation reasons as heat will have a harder time escaping on its side. Even when I placed it vertically (standing up), the drive got pretty warm while in operation (upwards of 110-115 degrees F). Sure there are debates that this type of heat won't lead to premature failure. I will leave that up to you. I am just stating what I observe.
I really wanted to put this drive on its side so I attached my own rubber feet to the side to elevate it off my desk which reduces vibration sounds and increases ventilation under the unit. I also bought a small USB fan that I use to cool the device. The fan is probably a little overkill, so feel free to do what you want with your drive.

Good drive after fixing error.

Verified Purchase:Yes
As soon as I connected this drive, it was very sluggish and unusable. A scan for errors showed that the drive had an error. Luckily I had Acronis DriveCleanser that came with a backup drive I own and was able to use it to perform a thorough wipe of the drive contents. After the wipe, the drive currently works well. All that aside, I like this drive and would buy it again.

Good Vacuum for Price

Age:25-34
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good vacuum for the price! It cleans much better than my old vacuum although my old vacuum was 15 years old. It empties easily and picks up easily. It is lightweight and relatively quiet (not the quietest). The hose is long but tends to bunch up when the end of the hose is blocked which sometimes knocks over the vacuum or pulls is along. The hose and attachments are also awkward to mount/dismount to their holders.
