Excellent Little Amp
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Years ago I owned an NAD amp and pre-amp as the core of my stereo system. So when I recently decided to put a music system in my office, I was glad to see that NAD had a "modern" option to consider. After reading a number of favorable reviews across several websites, I decided to purchase it ... and I haven't been disappointed one bit.
I use the D-3020 with a Sonos Connect and a pair of reference monitors. It is compact, attractive, and the perfect companion for the Sonos. Bluetooth works great too (although I don't use this much). Most important, the sound is amazing, whether set for normal or high volumes ... very crisp.
The D-3020 is pricey, but I only purchase top-quality electronics for my home, and I'm very satisfied.

SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose® sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink® Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.

Compact, yet Powerful
on July 26, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
After reading numerous reviews for mid-range (price) blue tooth speakers, I went to Best Buy to listen to the Bose SoundLink Mini II, JBL Pulse, and the UE Boom. All sounded great, and all were within about $20 of each other at the time.
Ultimately, I chose the Bose SoundLink Mini II. It sounded better than the other two, felt very well made (it is), and looked far more attractive for where we wanted to use it (kitchen). NOTE: if I was going to do a lot of heavy travel with the speaker, especially outdoors, one of the others would have been better.
I've had this unit for months now and am very happy with it. It sounds amazing, has very long battery life, comes with a charging cradle that is very easy and attractive, and also takes phone calls. I would definitely consider this if you are looking for a solidly built, great sounding blue tooth speaker for within your home.

Pretty Good ...
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 3 of these to work with our Amazon Echo, so that we could voice-control a few of our everyday lights in the dining room, living room, and family room.
Unlike the light switch I purchased, I could not get any of these to work. So, I had to call Tech Support at Belkin. Calling Tech Support is never fun with any company. But, the guy was extremely helpful, patient, and was able to get me up and running with my first plug.
I thanked him and was able to get my second plug up and running within minutes. I have to say that turning the lights on and off with Alexa is pretty geeky ... but also fun and easy.
The 3rd plug still won't pair to the Android app and be recognized after multiple attempts. This is the only reason I'm giving the review 4 stars. The software is a little finicky. I'll try again, and will call Tech Support again if I can't get it.
But, I would definitely buy more (and know I will) ... just hoping the next software release is more robust.

Exactly What We Wanted
on March 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
We have front porch lights that we always seem to forget to turn on or off. So, we purchased this unit after checking various online reviews. It installed quickly and easily, paired to the Android app right away, and we were in business.
We have our front porch lights on a schedule (very easy to figure out, many options too) and now we don't worry about it. Lights go on and off every day.
Definitely recommend this item, but note that it does not dim ... just on/off functionality.

Met Expectations
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this laptop for my daughter ... a sophomore in college. We were replacing a 7-year-old Macbook Pro. It has all the power and pep she needs, in a very light and attractive case. She loved it immediately.
The fact that she is a long-time Mac user helped a lot. Backup and restore occurred automatically and immediately ... so she hit the ground running and couldn't be happier.
If you like Macs and want something small, attractive, and quite powerful for most everyday computing needs, then this will be an excellent choice.

Another Great iPad
on January 29, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the 3rd iPad I've purchased -- and they've all been great. I bought the iPad 2 (gold) as a Christmas present for my wife. She's always been happy with her prior iPads, but we've had to replace them over time due to theft or damage. This latest version is thinner, lighter, brighter, and more responsive. For casual browsing, games, recipe apps, controlling our Sonos system, and numerous other home productivity tools, there isn't a better device. Highly recommended!

Excellent Headphones

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these headphones as a gift for a friend who is really into his music (pop, hip-hop, etc.). He has Beats in-ear headphones and wanted something wireless and substantial ... so I got these.
The sound was excellent when I listened to them. And, he has reported that they are very nice sounding and exactly what he was looking for.

Excellent Laptop Value
on January 23, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this laptop as a Christmas gift for my 88-year-old mother. It replaced an 10-year-old Dell desktop that had Windows 98. She is technically savvy and wanted something that was easy to use, portable, peppy, and more "up to date".
After almost 4 weeks of near daily use, she is quite happy with it. She uses it exclusively for email, Internet searches, and Quicken. She has yet to have an issue with it, loves how fast it is, and finds it very easy to move around.
For the price I paid, it's a great bargain for anyone with simple laptop computing needs, at any age.

Take your iPhone 7 on the go without worrying about damage thanks to this Speck Presidio case. The molded openings let you operate your phone without removing the case, and multiple protective layers buffer your phone against damage. This Speck Presidio case is slim, so it won’t add bulk in your pocket.

Good case for iPhone 7 Plus
on January 23, 2017
Posted by: OrangeFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this case for my wife to go along with her new iPhone 7 Plus. We've had several Speck cases before and they've tended to hold up well. This clear case (with design) shows off the gold color of her iPhone nicely. Putting the case on (or taking it off) is very easy -- yet when on it is snug and attractive.

Can this be used to backup my Dell Inspiron Model 3252

YES, but you would have to put in numerous CDs or DVDs and have the backup software to do it. No one really does this anymore as CDs and DVDs are really inefficient for managing a lot of data. You are better off backing up to an external USB flash drive or the cloud. Amazon has an unlimited cloud storage plan for $60/year. This is what I use for all of our home computers and laptops, for photo storage, etc.

YES, as long as your computer has software to play DVDs on it (most do these days).

can this be used to download music from my cd's

YES. This external DVD drive can be used to play DVDs and audio CDs -- and can also be used with burning software to create DVDs and Audio CDs or "rip" movies and audio tracks from the discs to your computer's hard drive. But, you have to have the right software.
