Compact and Powerful
on November 3, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
It's always nice to unbox a Linksys product. They have very tactile packaging, similar to Apple products.
When I opened the Linksys WRT 3200 ACM, you are greeted by a little welcome note from Linksys. Under the note, the new router was sitting on a well protected foam bed. Under the router was a 'quick start' guide and 4 antennas. Under the foam bed was a CD of information, a power cord, which surprisingly in this day and age seemed to be rather large, and an Ethernet cord, which I am concerned about the longevity of, as it is more of a ribbon cable, rather than a traditional Ethernet cable.
On to the set up, it was a breeze setting up the actual product. Screw in the 4 antennas, plug in the power cord, and then connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the 'yellow' Ethernet port on the back of the router. Turn the power on. A nice light blue power light blinks at you. Then an amber 'Internet' light and the 2.4GHz and 5GHz 'Wifi' emblems. When the Internet light turns to light blue, you are good to go.
I connected initially via my phone. Got connected and went to LinksysSmartWiFi.com to set up the router. The connection failed and timed out the router. I tried to connect with my PC to no avail, it kept showing 'no internet'. So looking at the troubleshooting guide, it suggested resetting the router. To do this, hold down the little red button on the back for 10 seconds. I did this, the router went blank, then powered back on, then internet came back up and the WiFi emblems. This time I was able to connect on both my phone and on my PC and get the router configured. Not sure what happened first time round that warranted me having to reboot the router, but second time was a charm.
I validated everything, set up the router passwords, and here I am, writing my review via the new router. Speeds seem to be fine, and evenly balance between my phone and my laptop. Videos have streamed with no lag, but as a caveat, I do have AT&T GigaPower fiber optic at my home, so speed typically isn't an issue.
I haven't taxed the router as of yet, but once I transition over my home automation products (Hue Lights, NetGear Cameras, LiftMaster Garage Opener etc) that will start taxing the router a little more.
Overall, the router has been fairly simple to set up, apart from my teething issue causing me to have to reboot (hence the 4 stars). It has a relatively small footprint, so isn't too obtrusive on my desk, and the balancing of the signal between my phone and PC is working well.

Water and Ice. How Triumphant!

Nice chap at Best Buy hooked up my refrigerator to the wall, unwrapped the refrigerator and left it in my kitchen, as if it had been there all the time.
Without him, well, I would have a refrigerator outside my front door, and that would have been quite inconvenient.
So, thank you, sir (sorry, didn't catch your name) who delivered and installed my refrigerator, you have saved me hours of grief from my wife, had she been made to access the refrigerator from the front porch on a daily basis.

Water Carrying Device from Wall to Refrigerator
on October 2, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Stainless Steel Hose that transfers water from the little plastic spigot in the wall behind the refrigerator, that no-one ever sees, to the connector on the back of the refrigerator, that no-one ever sees, installed by the Best Buy delivery service.
So far, water is being transferred from the wall to the refrigerator without issue! No leaking that I can see, but then again, the hose is behind the refrigerator so I wouldn't see it anyways. I have water and ice in my refrigerator now, and without this stainless steel hose, I would have none at all. So this hose has been invaluable in facilitating the presence of water in the door of my refrigerator.
The fact that it is made of stainless steel has to be important, because if it was made of paper... well, it would be pretty rubbish. And it cost more than a plastic one, so that means it has to be better, right?
Heh! Come on, it's a stainless steel hose. It has two connections, one on each end, and they work. Water flows through it. Job done!

Best edge to edge cleaning I've seen!
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
This vacuum cleaner has a lot to live up to, in this price point. This is not a 'throw away' vacuum. It is going up against some big name hitters in the vacuum world.
First impressions, unboxing the vacuum, there are many combinations of cleaning attachments for just about any application you could think of, including what appears to be a unique, under the refrigerator attachment!
Putting the vacuum together was quick and easy, even without reading the instructions. The vacuum is very compact, and to that end, it doesn't actually stand up on its own. So while vacuuming, I needed to just lay it down whenever moving the power cord.
On to cleaning: This vacuum has possibly THE BEST edge to edge cleaning I have ever experienced in my years of owning vacuum cleaners, from $40 machines up to my current $400 machine. I was vacuuming over some carpet that still had vacuum lines in it from my previous machine, and I could visibly see this new Shark Rocket getting closer to the edge of furniture and along the walls in the house. That was very refreshing to see. So it definitely gets a 10/10 for edge to edge cleaning.
This vacuum also has an array of LED lights on the front to help you see where you are cleaning, if you are going under furniture or are in tight corners, these lights become very useful indeed. And they are not limited to the brush head of the machine. If you remove the brush head to clean the stairs, there are more LED lights on the handle part of the vacuum that shine down on the stairs. Very neat touch.
The canister is very small on this machine. Due to the nature of being hand held, I am sure that being cumbersome and heavy were not going to work in this style of machine, so a smaller canister is a necessity.
The trump card of this vacuum, and can be seen in a photo is the ability to clean stairs. It is the right size and weight to make cleaning the stairs a complete breeze. The attachment works perfectly well picking up dog hair and regular household dust. This alone is a key selling feature for this machine. Stair cleaning ability: 10/10
The rubber grip handle was nice at first, but after an amount of time vacuuming, became somewhat uncomfortable. Not sure what the best resolve is, but that just didn't work for me.
Cleaning and suction remained good through cleaning over 2000 sq ft of carpet. Transitions from hard wood to carpet to tile were a breeze.
When I first powered up the vacuum, I didn't pay attention that it had two power settings, one for tile and one for carpet. So I was quite disappointed at first with it's carpet cleaning power, until I realized I was on the wrong setting. After adjusting the switch, full power turned on and I was up and running..
Maneuverability of this vacuum is great. It easily moves around furniture and has a very low profile for getting under tight spaces like sofas and beds. At times I wished that it had a slightly wider brush head on it and then other times I was thankful of the spaces that it could easily fit into.
The Duoclean system is interesting. It has a small felt roller to pick up small particles and dust, and then a larger, regular brush roller to pick up larger particles. You could visibly see small dust particles in the cleaning canister and also in the brush head. So far I think it may make a difference, but this is a brand new home that I am cleaning, so there may still be just an amount of builders dust left in the carpet.
Storage is a breeze as the main power unit disconnects and attaches to the base of the vacuum, or, should you so choose, a wall mounting bracket comes with the vacuum as well.
Overall, this vacuum represents good value for money, with many attachments to help you with the task at hand.

Nicely detailed collectible character

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've purchased several of these characters over the past few months for my son. He's 5 and loves Star Wars. So picking these characters up for him to play with, even tho the Infinity game series is going away, is a no-brainer!
He loves playing with the characters without the video game on, and then also playing with them on screen as well. A nice, versatile product for a younger child.

Nice media room refrigerator.
on September 26, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this refrigerator to use in my media room. Wanted something not too expensive, but to match all the other appliances in my new home.
It is a great little refrigerator for keeping all kinds of beverages cold for game day.
However, we had a delay on the delivery of our main kitchen refrigerator so ended up using this one full time for three weeks. In that time we found out that you have to turn it up to keep things as cold as you would like them. Also, when you do that, the back of the inside of the refrigerator does freeze up, so make sure your produce is not touching the back of the refrigerator.
The front of the refrigerator doesn't get as cold as the back, when fully laden with a family-worth of groceries.
A nice feature of this refrigerator is the lock at the bottom. Keeps the kids out of your beer!

Nice Sleek Mouse
on July 21, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mouse to pair up with my HP Spectre laptop. It has a 'similar' design, but not identical to it. I went for this mouse because it was the HP brand, like my laptop, but also because it had a the similar look and feel to it as well.
I wanted to have the flexibility of not using the trackpad all the time on the computer. This mouse was easy to connect and set up, however, as a power magic mouse (Mac) user in my day to day job, this HP mouse does a decent job, but it's not perfect. Sometimes it takes a moment to recognize gestures, and sometimes it doesn't do anything at all. But for the other 95% of the time, it's a nice, tactile mouse, similar in feel to a magic mouse.
It is very aesthetically pleasing to look at, especially next to the Spectre laptop. It is also claimed to be the one of the thinnest bluetooth mouse in the world, right next to the Spectre laptop which is (currently) the thinnest laptop in the world.
(HP's claims, not mine!).

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my 5 year old son after seeing him watching some Minecraft videos on YouTube Kids. He was engrossed in them, so purchased the full Minecraft game.
He picked it up almost intuitively, and has had hours of fun with it, creating buildings, traps, tunnels and farms! He's a natural at it.
Appears to be easy to pick up, and hard to put down!

Pick up the version that lights up!
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Cupra
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
We have several of these characters for my son, he loves playing the Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars game, and loves playing with these characters when the digital game is switched off.
They are nicely detailed throughout the collection, but with this Kylo Ren version, his tri-lightsaber lights up and glows when he's placed on the base. My son loved that when he saw it for the first time!
Very sturdy construction and detail makes for a nice aesthetic on these characters.
When on sale on BestBuy.com, these are also a great value too, when coupled with their dual playability as a game piece in the digital game, and then as an 'action figure' when the game is switched off.

As an 'add on' to the Disney Infinity 3.0 PS4 game, these characters are fun to collect, but for my 5 year old son, fun to play with after the game console is switched off. I've seen him play for hours with them, outside of the PS4 game. They are nicely detailed and when on sale at Best Buy, a great value too.
Using them within the PS4 game is as simple as placing them on the game board and the character is unlocked straight away.
Overall, a nice addition to the PS4 game experience. Are they necessary? If you want to expand your character set, then yes, not sure of another way to unlock characters without them, but nice for playability after the digital game is turned off.
