Good Robotic Vacuum.
on June 11, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I like Samsung products and had high expectations for this product and they did not let me down. Set up is easy and the directions are clear. I first set it up behind a couch in a corner. I later learned to put it in a more central area which worked better although it is visible when docked. At first it seemed to do the same area over an over, run out of battery, and start with the same area. When I moved it to a central area and set it in normal mode, it worked better. The vacuum is larger than I thought but it does work well and I do have a large area. It had a few quirks at first with my bar stools but seems to work better now. In turbo mode, you get about 20 minutes per charge. In regular mode, I get about an hour and the noise level is lower. The dust pan is always full at the end. The app set up was really easy. The device comes with a remote but does not come with boundary markers which many do. I have mine programmed to clean daily which can be monitored with the app. The app also lets you initiate a clean. You can clean a specific spot or an entire area.
This is my first robotic vacuum so I have no comparison to other products. I would give it 4.5 stars.

There is a lot to love about this speaker which is where I will start. It is waterproof, has a usb port to charge your phone, has a small compartment on the bottom to store items in, and comes with a full charger (not just a cord). Outside of sound quality, it has some of the beast features and design out there. Sound quality is good but not excellent. There are other speakers with better sound but the difference might not be noticeable to some.

Easy to install switch. Wish they would have explained in directions difference between load and line. I googled it and found the answer. Love the features of this dimmer. Touch control lets you select the exact dim setting with your finger. I have other WEMO Plugs and it's nice to have this controlled with the others with Alexa. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is becasue it is not a 3 way switch. I live in a newer house where most of the switches are 3 way (can turn on a light at more than one switch). I was limited on the room I could install this on. . .

Nice little speaker
on April 20, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
My first impression was a 4 start due to a off pitch sound but I found that I needed to pair the device again and it corrected the problem causing me to bump the score to 5 stars. I can;t find anything wrong with this speaker or that I don't like. What I like most about this speaker is how easy it is to pair. It has funky tones that let you know it is pairing mode. The speaker offers great sound from a small device. It is waterproof which will come in handy It has really good 360 sound. They claim you can pair it with a companion giving you two speakers. While I have not done that, it is cool that it can be done. I really like this speaker after a couple days of using it.

Comfortable Headphones With Rich Sound
on March 24, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
I have several sets of headphones and have been looking for one that is comfortable and provides great sound. These headphones did the trick. I like that they cancel the noise around you. Very comfortable cushions that fit around the ear keeps a firm fit with minimum pressure. . A nice added feature is an app that you can download that lets you customize settings on your phone. Sound quality is really good. Great base which is adjustable without the app. The only thing missing is a case.

Awesome product, works really good!
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
I typically am a tough reviewer but feel this product earns 5 stars. Set up was very easy Weboost did a great job giving simple directions. Each item was labeled with a number giving precise directions on what to do next. The only tricky part was setting the phone to measure the signal. I was confused what I was looking for but figured it out. The signal number shows up where the bars were after entering the codes as directed. My situation, I had poor reception in my house and almost no reception in certain parts. My house is newer, has a radiant barrier in the attic (which I believe caused the poor reception), and low E windows. After connecting this device with the antenna in between the screen and window, The meter gave me an improved signal by 40 parts. I went from 0-1 bars to 4 bars. I now can talk on the phone where i previously lost calls or the call would break up. There are some reviews that give this item a poor score. My assumption is they might live in an area with no or poor service. I had decent reception outside usually 2-3 bars. This device can't make a signal out of no signal but can improve a weak one. I previously had a device that converted the signal to wifi. It worked but the exchange when i left or entered was choppy. This is the best product on the market to improve signal quality. So glad i have this product.

I purchased the previous version for my daughter and liked it so much that I bought this one for myself. I have used Lenovo Yoga's before and like this much better. While it's not as thin, the graphics work much better and this computer is fast. Boots up in 10 seconds. Best computer in it's class.

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system.

Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.

This is a difficult review to write and I toyed with giving it 2 stars because of some lacking flexibility. Let's start with the positive. Functioning as a router, this item is great. The mesh wifi access is terrific and seamlessly covers my 400 sq ft house and yard.. Setup was fairly simple. just some advice, give each node time to power up or the app won't detect it. The app simplifies things and gives clear step by step directions. I gave it 3 stars becasue as a router, it is great. If you use it with Time Warner/Charter, it will work very well and replace your router. However, If you use it with Fios, it is a different story. To use it with Fios, you will need to disable the wifi on the fios router, plug the Velop into the Fios rout and it creates an completely separate network. What this means is you cannot plug other items into the fios router if you want them on the same network. Given the Velop has limited WAN ports, you might need a switch. The competition offers an "access point" mode which allows you to use the device as a wifi access point only. It turns off other router functions like DHCP leaving that to the Fios router. I contacted Linksys tech support who confirmed they do not offer this feature at this time. I do not want a second network or a network behind a network so this is a deal breaker for me. There is a way to disable the FIOS router but it is complicated and sin some cases you lose your guide and widgets. The other item that I really don't like is you can only access this router via an app. There is no web based access. Perhaps I'm old school but I find making adjustments on a web based computer much easier but there are few adjustment you can make on this. Linksys tried to simplify the router and setup so much that they over simplified it giving little flexibility to users. Hopefully Linksys will correct this with future updates. I would recomend this only if you have a provider that does not combine the modem/router and if you have basic needs.

This TV is great. I own several Smart TV's and prefer Samsung over Vizio and LG. I recenlty purchased a LG smart TV and it does not offer Pandora. Samsung is loaded with most apps that you want. Picture quality is great. Only thing I didn't like is the Mounting. I had to file away part of the mount so the wires would connect. Small concern and would definitely buy this again.

Many thing I like about these headphones. Rich sound, easy to pair, directions very simple. Only negative is buttons are hard to identify in low light but this is new and I will get used to it. I like these better than the ones that have a small wire connecting each side. This has a rubber band that rests on the back of your neck to keep everything in place. It is not awkward or uncomfortable and provides stability unlike the clunky large earpiece models that fit in your ear and fall out. Another plus is it drains out much of the ambient noise.

Do these come with extra inserts? I love the cone type insert that seems to fit my ears better. They were on the old wired beats by Dre and then the pair that went around you neck and were magnetic.
they come with different size inserts

Is the tablet portion of the laptop detachable like a 2 in 1? or is it attached like a normal laptop?
It doesn't detach but it pivots differently. It's not flimsy and it swings from the center. Hard to expaling but it gives you some really different setting versus the ones that just swing at the hinge.

Does this Wemo WiFi smart plug-outdoor, connect to a mesh WiFi system. I have some Wemo smart mini plugs thatonly connect to 2 ghz routers. The Mesh system I have doesn’t distinguish between 2 and 5 ghz bands, so the Wemo mini plugs do not connect my wifi
I have mine on a mesh system but that doesn't mean it will work on yours. It depends on the brand. While I cant see it not working, I can't account for every type of router.

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
It is not a GFI outlet. Technically, outlets outside should be GFI by code negating the need for this to be GFI. You cannot control the outlets independent of each other.. Both are either on or off and controlled together as a pair. .
