Fire TV is Great
on December 9, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have smart TV's and found that the fire stick is much smoother than the system on the TV. Fire TV allows you to voice command apps. It turns your TV into an Alexa. You can add outlets/lights that you can control with your fire tv remote. I used chromecast in the past and this is much better. You don;t need a phone or computer to run this.

This cube is used with VR/AR Goggles. This device and companion use your phone as a screen It' wasn't riveting but was the better part of the goggles and a must if you buy the goggles. You get different items projected where the cube is changing the visual presentation. You can actually virtually touch and move things around.

Awesome device

This is the only chopper that I have used that dices onions without turning them to mush. It comes with a blade to act as a mini food processor and this blade and basket attachment for dicing. My only complaint is the two blades cannot be stored together or fit in the case together. That is a minor problem but I really like this ability to easily dice items.

Great Display
on October 11, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I replaced an older monitor with this one. I really like how thin and light it is. The display goes very close to the edge with minimal non distinct boarders. The monitor has a HDMI and VDA input. No DVI input which is the only negative I can come up with. Because I use a dock that already has an HDMI hooked up, I had to use a DVI to VGA converter because my dock only had a DVI output. The picture is crisp and clear. The screen has no glare or reflection making it easy on the eyes. The other feature lacking is the ability to mount. If mounting and DVI output are important, this might not be for you. The lack of DVi is made up my the HDMI output. Both HDMI and VGA have clear crisp results.

Pour wine without removing the cork by using the Coravin Model Two wine system. The durable needle pierces the cork so you can pour, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine. This Coravin Model Two wine system comes with two capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

Great for the casual drinker
on October 11, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I debated on 4 or 5 starts but decided on 5 starts. I decided on 5 stars after determine the item does exactly what it is stated and has a bigger purpose than being a cork screw. This product is ideal for those who want a glass of wine but don't intend on finishing the bottle for several days or more. It does exactly as stated. once you attach/insert the device, wine is dispensed. When you remove the Coravin, the remaining wine left in the bottle does not leak out, even if you tip the bottle upside down. I would not use this to replace a corkscrew ( you can) or if you plan to finish the bottle of wine. It does require a cartridge of argon gas (included) to operate. Where it is helpful if you want the occasional glass or you finish a bottle and want a little more. The Coravin is easy and simple to use. It is small and comes with a storage bag.

OK Game

My son and I each tried this. The headset uses you phone where it is inserted inside. You download some apps and can use it to play games. There is a cube you can get that has integrated games. Overall my son and I liked this but did not think it was anything stellar.

It's a Steamer and it Works
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I wondered if a steamer would do a better job cleaning the floors in my house. This steamer does a good job cleaning floor surface. It comes with grout attachments however, this is not the miracle tool to easily clean grout. In fact, I have not seen a tool that can do it. This item cleaned my floors well,just as good as a mop but a mop mop with disposable pads is much easier and quicker to use. The benefit of the steamer is no chemicals are used and it is a natural way of cleaning. Attachments are included and it comes with a wall mount. This is a good product. I didn't see anything spectacular but don't perceive three stars as negative.

Vitamix is the real deal
on August 26, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I considered buying a Vitamix a few years ago and went with a higher end general brand. It worked OK but I was looking for something that would really blend and make great smoothies. The Vitamix presents like a commercial blender. It is durable, easy to manipulate and performs extremely well. It doesn't bog down and has the power it needs to get the job done. It is variable speed so you are not locked into preset speeds. My smoothies came out great. One way I always test a blender is how it pulverizes ice. The Vitamix passed the test and makes snow cones or margaritas with ease. I won't use anything else after using this. It's worth it for sure.

Awesome 2 in 1
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: ammcb
from Wesley Chapel, FL
I don't give many 5 stars but this is very deserving. To start, I like that this device comes with a keyboard, case, pen and mini usb to usb converter far surpassing what the primary competition offers. The keyboard is smooth. Typing is easy and it is backlit. Connecting is amazing. There is a magnetic mechanism that aligns it and connects very quickly. There is a kick stand in the back to support the device on a table or your lap. The screen is very clear. I was surprised at the clarity and resolution. Because it has a solid state hard drive, it boots very quickly, under 10 seconds. I like this device better than my laptop. I wish there was a slot built into the device for the pen but I realize the space is likely needed for other electronic components. You will need the mini usb converter to connect any regular usb devices. The two ports are both mini. If you want a wireless mouse, you might want a blue tooth one. The keyboard does come with a touch pad that works well. Overall, I really like this device and am using it for all my computing The i7 processor gives it power.

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. .

Upgrade your movie experiences with this 2.0-channel LG sound bar speaker kit. It produces 140W of power to blare your favorite song or movie, and it's wireless-enabled to eliminate the need for cables for a clean, uncluttered look.
 

Can I use existing speakers wires in my walls and connect via junction box to the the wires in the LG box to power them?

If I understand you correct, yes. You need to connect wires from the black box to each of the two speakers. It shouldn't matter what wire you use. The black box wirelessly syncs with the power bar so it can be on the other side of the room.
