Outstanding bluetooth headphones
on May 29, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
Let me start off by saying I've had several different brands of bluetooth headphones. So I have a little bit of experience with them. These are on the top end of the spectrum for what I've tested. It doesn't mean they are the best, but they are a very sold choice for the money.
Pros: Battery life, comfort, noise canceling, great sound.
Cons: Price, controls could be better but this is a minor complaint.
Battery life is outstanding on these. I love being able to listen to them on several different instances without worrying about charging them.
These headphones are also very comfortable. I've worn them for a few hours with no complaints. As with any over the ear design, the heat can become an issue. These aren't any better or worse than others I've worn as far as that goes.
Sound quality is great and works well for both music and speech. I listen to a lot of audio books and music so this is important. Bass is full but not overpowering and the highs are great. You'll notice a lot more detail in the music that you simply miss from less quality models.
Overall, these are a great pair of headphones and the sound quality make them an easy recommendation. Add to that the great battery life and you have a winner!

My new favorite bluetooth speaker!
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
Let me start by saying that I have had (and have) several bluetooth speakers. So I have a decent understanding of the varying qualities of speakers out there. This one has won me over and is my new favorite!
The build quality is the first thing I noticed about it. It is solid and sturdy but not too heavy. I love the layout and design as well. The hook (or lock) is very handy and I find myself using it all the time.
Sound quality for this level speaker is quite good. Nice balance between music and audio books/podcasts. It has plenty of volume for me as well.
Battery life is where this thing really surprised me. I've used it a lot since I got it and this past weekend I used it for several hours while piddling around the house. Came in and plugged it up and it still had nearly 3/4th battery life left!
I haven't tested the waterproofness of the unit but that is just another plus for the speaker. I really do enjoy using it and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a nice, rugged, and great sounding bluetooth speaker.

Innovative and great sounding little speaker!
on April 24, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I love this little speaker! First off, the speaker is the perfect size for working outdoors and athletic activities which are two of the most important areas for me. I use this for weeding flower beds, walking, working in the basement, and while doing mechanic work.
The size is perfect for clipping on your belt, shirt, or pants pocket. The sound quality for its size is quite good. Battery life is pretty decent as well. The call features are handy but I seldom use them.
I honestly have no complaints with this little speaker. I love it and use it all the time. Thanks for the innovative and very useful speaker Polk!

Good reasonably priced safe
on April 8, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed an additional safe for some guns, ammo and valuables. Found a good deal on this one, which had good reviews, so I pulled the trigger.
So far I am very pleased with the safe. Operation is easy and it has plenty of room. My one complaint is that the door is a considerably thinner than my smaller safe. I haven't tested it (obviously) but it seems it would be easier to pry open.
Overall, this is a decent safe for the money and I'm happy I picked it up.

Pricey but convenient
on March 29, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
This is my second cordless vacuum. This v7 was nearly double the price of my previous model. Is it worth the price? Not really.
The vacuum is easy to setup and use. Overall it performs fairly well. I have much more hard wood than carpet so that is where most of my use is. For small debris it works great, but it does have some trouble with larger objects.
The handheld portion of the unit is an upgrade from my last model that didn't have this option. But since I already have a small handheld unit I usually forget to use it on this machine.
Battery life isn't great. If you're like me and have a small house you can get it all done with one charge, which is close to 30 minutes. This isn't a problem for me but it could be for someone with a larger home.
Final verdict, the product is built good and is easy to use. I just can't see the benefits for the premium price over similar models that are much cheaper. Not to mention the fairly short battery life could be a turnoff for some. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice unit, just not sure it is worth the price paid.

Very nice presentation remote!
on March 15, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I've always loved Logitech's products. I've used their keyboards, mice, remotes, etc. for years. They always seem to have a nice mix of quality and price. That being said, this is a bit pricey for what it is. But, it performs beautifully and does it well.
Setup was a breeze. Just download the software and it will walk you through the entire setup. After the setup it gives you a brief tutorial that shows you exactly how to use the remote.
The big forward and back buttons are self explanatory but the feature that I love is the select and hold button on top. It will actually highlight (like a flashlight) the section you point out. This is a very handy feature for presentations and looks much more professional and modern than a laser pointer in my opinion.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the product and despite the price I'm still going to give it a full five stars. The setup, usefulness, and design is top notch and I think anyone would enjoy using it in a presentation.

No complaints so far!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have recently added Phillips Hue lighting and a Google Home. I needed a WeMo plug for a heater I used occasionally. This model came out right after they announced integration with the Google Home. Product works great and I'm very happy with it.
Only thing that would be cool would be the addition of seeing how much power is currently being drawn. Maybe in the future?

Outstanding WiFi at a premium price
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I have always been plagued with weak WiFi in spots in my house. Particularly in my bedroom and when I'm in the far corner of the basement. I wanted to try out one of these new "mesh" or "blanket" systems to see if they really work. Well, I know this one does! I have full signal strength and bandwidth in every square inch of my home now. Heck, I can even keep WiFi for a great deal of my evening walks through the neighborhood :)
Lets start with the basics. The set is packaged up nicely. Setup was one of the easiest I've ever done. The units themselves are very modern looking an aesthetically pleasing. I placed one unit in the far right of the house, one in the far left, and one right in the middle of the basement. I was afraid I might need to tweak the position but I had perfect coverage right off the bat.
Management for these are a breeze through the app and is very user friendly. I couldn't be happier with mine but it did come at a premium. I understand many aren't going to throw out this kind of cabbage for WiFi but if you are having trouble with spotty coverage and can afford it, this is what you need!

Nice power pack but questionable demand
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
Having used several Belkin products over the years I have come to expect quality products from them.. This portable power pack for the Apple watch is no exception.
The unit is solid and built well. It charges up fairly fast and does a nice job charging up my watch and phone. I can see this being very handy for folks going off the grid for a few days like hiking or camping. I myself find myself using it only in emergency situations if I forget to charge my watch one evening.
Give how long my Apple watch will keep a charge, I question the usefulness of this for most people. It is also fairly pricey for a power pack of this size. But for those that may be away from power sources for a few days this could be a handy power pack,

Best steam mop I've owned!
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: RaiderRodney
I've hadn't a couple of these but this is my favorite so far. First off, the unit is packaged well, seems to be built nicely, and is very easy to set up. It has a nice long cord so you don't waste time having to plug and unplug much.
Performance wise it does really good on my older wood floors. I was skeptical of the self steaming feature but it works great. It makes quick work of my floors. It has a nice sized tank for the water and I can do my entire house without having to refill. That being said, my house is on the small side.
If there is a con with the unit, it is the same as the other steam mops I have used. They'd can be hard to maneuver when steaming. I am a big guy (6'2" and about 220) and it can be tough to move around for me so I can see that it could be aggravating for smaller folks.
Overall this is a great unit that does what it should Andre does it very well. I definitely recommend.

Provide internet access to guests without sharing your personal network password. Orbi is ready right out of the box and compatible with your ISP. Just use the Orbi app to get started with better WiFi, everywhere in minutes.
 

We live in the country, and can only use satellite internet. It is not a real strong signal, and can be affected easily by weather. We also have a log home, which blocks the signal in certain areas of the house and porch. Would this help in our situation?

Honestly, any router can only be as good as the internet connection it has to pull from. Your problem sounds more like a internet service problem than a wifi problem. That being said, when you do have a decent internet feed these would help with giving you a better wifi signal through the logs and other areas blocking your signal. Good luck!

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
 

How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.

While I'm not familiar with either of those models you mentioned it is about the same as an old Hoover bag machine I have and the Dyson we have at work. I'd say it is in the average loudness range for an upright. Hope this helps and you should give it a try because the roller design does seem to prevent tangling up the pet hair ;)
