Good Inside, needs more for outdoors

So OVERALL, this is one of the better overall camera systems out there. Takes about 15 minutes to do the initial setup, including firmware updates. Needs some additional accessories, if planning to use outdoors.
Pros:
- The two cameras have extremely good video, for their small size.
- Can be used cordless, so you don't necessarily need to have wires running to them (note will have to recharge batteries)
- Sleek looking, not ugly... so noticeable, but not out of place
- Home base station, creates a separate wifi network (see cons as well). So it won't fight for network space on your home network, and makes setup straight forward.
- Allows for a USB device to hooked up to base, for local in home storage of video
- has a FREE BASIC video plan, so you can have 7 days of cloud storage at no extra cost
- Alarms and motion sensitive are good, and configurable
- Can add more cameras to the single base unit
- Comes with everything you need for INDOOR usage

Cons:
- Since it creates it's own wifi network, your are limited to the range of the base unit. So in a larger house, this can get to be a problem especially if you are going to hook cameras outdoors. No option to utilize your existing wifi network (such as a spread out eero system), to provide extended range
- Even though the cameras are weather proof, the hardware to mount outdoors is an accessory
- Powering the units outdoor full time, will require a way to get the accessory adapters, run so they are protected from the weather
- As of right now, software doesn't allow multiple "Modes" and configurations.

Needs some space, and can change on the fly
on November 14, 2017

So overall this vacuum is a good value for the price point. It fits right into this price range, given the size power and functions. There are some quirks though, that if are coming from another brand or model, might catch you a bit.
Pros:
- It has MULTIPLE different included attachments. 5 different attachments, cover just about all combinations of needs for cleaning.
- Battery lasts longer then most others. You are going to get a fair amount done on a single charge
- Easy to get to container. The container I easily visible to see when full, and doesn't take much to change it out
- LED on floor roller is bright and allows you to see the floor especially in dark edge areas.
- Powerful vacuum to clean up just about any dry spill on any floor
- Does change from hardwood to carpet, with no interaction on users part

Cons:
- Even though listed as a pro as well... the attachments need a home. There is no storage on the vacuum itself, and the provide rack is just too small
- The wall mounting solution, is sad (reason for 1/2 star deduction). It is nothing more then a plastic hook. You still need to rest the vacuum on the floor, and basically clip it in. There is no doubt that in time, that hook is going to snap.
- The battery charging system: (other 1/2 star deduction)... It is a totally separate unit. You have to pull the battery from the vacuum, then connect it to a charging BASE, that simply comes across being way to big. it doesn't mount to the wall, you will need some decent counter (or floor) space for it
- The primary cleaning head, feels a bit "cheaper" then the rest of the unit. The plastic, seems a bit bulky and less molded then the rest of the unit.

Pretty Slick and Good Sound
on October 30, 2017

So I have been hesitant to get a set of truly cordless ear-buds.
I have had wireless ones, that isn't the issue. But the lack of cord between the two pieces, no large battery etc...
I have had wireless ones, that isn't the issue. But the lack of cord between the two pieces, no large battery etc...
After using these now a few times, the probably only thing I am concerned about is forgetting I have them in. :)
Once you have them in your ears, they sit well... and don't come lose much. (I had to really giggle my head way out of the ordinary).
Connected in just a second or two to my iPhone, and immediately was ready for my music.
The only downside I had, is which one goes in which ear, and getting them to fit just right the first time.
Charging is as simple as dropping them back into their case, which is what connects to the wall.
Now for the SOUND, I liked it... but I am not an audiophiliac.
For workouts, and general listening... these should satisfy just about anyone. They also get VERY loud... if you crank up the volume, so be careful.

One less thing to do
on October 24, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
After the initial 10 minute setup; this system was ready to cleanup...
Quiet then any previous robotic vacuum I have owned, or seen. It meticulously goes through in arcing patterns, and cleans. It takes a while for it to learn the room, but as it does you can see it cleanup. It is almost funny to watch it the first few times to see if it is going to "get that spot".
Setup is easy, just snap a few brushes on, and plug in the base.
Probably the hardest part is figuring out where you will put the recharging base, and you will probably move it once or twice.
Probably the hardest part is figuring out where you will put the recharging base, and you will probably move it once or twice.
The only negative, so far... is the "boundary" system is a little clunky, especially if you don't have a throw rug or other means to hide the metallic strip. But depending on your usage, that may not even be an issue for most.
Bigger picture... this little robot does wonders to cleanup on a daily basis. You can schedule it to run once a day, or every other day, etc.
Don't throw away your big vacuum just yet though. This robot isn't going to do everything. It can't do carpeted stairs, and tight spaces, where you have to move things. under the sofa, no... So you are going to want to keep that other vacuum around for that once a few weeks deeper clean.
Robot works great on both carpet AND hardwood (we actually have it targeted now mostly for our hardwood area, as that is the higher traffic area).

Sleek, Compact, and Packs a Punch
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
This unit shows that you don't need a full tower to get a lot of power, and look good doing it. Rocking Windows 10, this system is up and running in minutes... Connect it to the internet, and do all the updates (it can vary in time, based on your connection, but typically over the first night, it will get everything).
Pros: small tower, has a optical drive, 4 USB and SD memory card reader. Upgraded video card (not just the basic one). included keyboard and mouse are descent but you may want to upgrade to wireless ones, based on how and where you are hooking this up.
Cons: For the value, the biggest con I have is that there are two USB ports in the back of the computer. If you are hooking up a camera, printers, scanner or other devices.. only having two in the back may require you to get a hub or run a wire to the front. Minor thing, may not effect many people either.
Also, this unit still had a CLASSIC 9 pin Serial-COMM connection. Just one, but you just don't see that on many new computers today. So if you replacing some older systems, that still need that... this one has one already.
Perfect computer for a student to have their own, or just another system for the family.

Slick Monitor

So if you don't have a widescreen monitor yet, what are you waiting for? Changes the usage of your computer tremendously. This monitor is wide enough for almost all users. It is edge to edge, so no wasted space. Has standard HDMI and VGA connectors.
Setup in less then 5 minutes, connect and go. It really is that simple.
Colors are clear and bright. LED screen uses less power, then some older monitors.

This is not a touch screen monitor, so if you are looking for that advanced feature... this isn't the monitor for you... But if you are looking for an external screen for your laptop, or need a replacement... check this one out.

Quality; Solid; Lasting

So time will have to tell truly how long this cable will last, but the construction is top notch. Solid braded material, rubber footings into the connection points. Compared to the OEM cable for the Apple watch, this one is ready to take some abuse... If you are looking to upgrade or replace your charging cable for your apple watch... This is a solid contender and option.

POPAlexa: got bit by a radioactive Spider
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So let's just swing right into it.... This is a Marvel/Spider-Man fan's must have gadget for their desk/room. This Spider-Man, has the shape and look of the popular POP figures. He is larger then the pictures make him out to be... He doesn't move around like other SPHERO products... he just hangs out on his base (or you can remove him when charged).
You interact with a button press, hand motions, and talking to him.
Battle, play a game, hang out... or setup a cool wake-up alarm.
Battle, play a game, hang out... or setup a cool wake-up alarm.
The voice activation, and answering system is similar to that of Alexa (just not to the breath and level, and stays in the context of Spiderman's world).
A really cool gift/toy for the Marvel/Spider-Man fan.
Downsides:
- The packaging, left some black scuffs on the side of his head, we were able to get them out... but those that like their "Toys" to look as NON-PLAYED with, this may be a concern.
- We tried to setup with an iPhone 6SE, and it had all sorts of problems. Then went over to an iPhone 7 on iOS11, and setup very quickly.... so not sure what was going on.

I was already to buy this TV- seems to be GREAT price!
BUT - IT DOES NOT HAVE 3D. Luckily, this was pointed out by the salesman. He told me that he had even called Samsung to check, and there is a misprint in the specifications,

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.
