I bought this mainly because of the price. It connects easily to bluetooth, and it also has the convenient standard mini charging cord. Same cord as my smart phone. One button activates the connection to bluetooth, the other button turns the light on and off.Also has a power switch on the bottom. Nice small size, with an incredible sound for such a small unit. I have it in my office in the corner for background music.

I like buying from Best Buy, and found the Kindle brand cover, and at a good price. Problem is, it presses into the cover, it does not snap in. So bad news is, if you lay it down too hard, or bump it, or drop it, the Kindle pops right out of the case.

I bought this to replace an old player. My requirements were the size and price. I didn't get it on sale, but has been $85. That did not matter, as this player exceeds my expectations. I especially enjoy the USB input, as I have many movie files backed up on my computer. I have not used the flash card input yet. This player is extremely lightweight. It has never run out of battery yet. I only watch one movie in one sitting, so the 2 hours the movie runs is just fine. The screen is extremely clear, though very reflective. I hope one day they make a non-reflective screen. The controls work well and convenient on top, rather than the side as other units have. I cannot say much about the speakers, as I only use headphones.

Beautiful sound and bass - compact

We have a 16x20 living room with unusual acoustics. We tried a sound bar and still could not get clear sound. It was hard to distinguish the dialogue. This Bose was a great find, and was recommended by the salesperson. We looked at quite a few systems, but did not want wires running across our hardwood floors, so surround sound was out. The price was right. The single speaker has clear sound and a nice simulated surround sound. Quite compact on the table top. The bass speaker adds the low tones and has a knob on the back to adjust the amount of bass. That is the only adjustment available. The remote is universal, though I could not find a code to match our tv. Bose has always excelled in the treble tones for me, and nice bass tones without distortion. Though this is the - economical - priced system, it is perfect for us. I would have given it a 5 star if there was a way to control all mid-range and high tones, too. But in any event, I highly recommend this system, for the budget minded, or anyone.

It does the job

Not much you can say about a patch cord. My wife needed this to connect her cell phone to the aux input on her car radio. We needed a certain length, and Best Buy had it. The cord is lightweight but heavy duty. It does the job.

We have always bought Epson because of the photo quality printing, but the stores I buy supplies from carry mostly HP products, so it was worth a try, and I am glad I did. This All-in-One really does it all. It was easy to setup with our home Wi-Fi so we can use our tablets as well as our desktop. The photo quality is also great, even on normal paper. It has a low profile, so unobtrusive on the credenza. I like the paper feed being both in and out, over and under, in the same space to save space. My wife even finds it easy to use. I would definitely recommend.

I have owned many MP3 players, but mostly Sandisk. This is a good alternate than my smart phone. I use the player mostly outdoors. Lightweight, easy to load music, easy to use, easy to read the screen .... so far, there is nothing I can say bad about it. Rather than the ear buds, I bought over the ear headphones, so it stays on better when I jog. But that is just my personal preference.

Great product - good price

I bought this for our living room TV, since I thought my wife might not be able to learn ChromeCast as easily. Setup was easy, but you need another device to confirm the hookup, and to register. Yes, another darned thing to register with a name and password ! The main Apps were pre-loaded, so I only had to add an App for Sirius radio that we subscribe to. It was intuitive and easy.
If you are able to program a DVR and playback, then you can do this!
I would recommend to anyone. Our goal is to "cut the cord", and so far, this will make it easy for us to watch Netflix, Hulu, listen to Sirius, and probably more Apps to be added in the future.
The reason I gave it 4 stars, is because the initial startup is slow when you turn on the TV, possibly one minute, and annoying to setup ... but even though all the companies require this kind of procedure ... doesn't mean I have to like it! :-)

Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.

I was told about this from a computer tech, and this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. This purchase is my second one. Easy setup - plug into HDMI, plug into USB or AC adaptor, download the App, enter your Wi-fi password, and voila, watching Hulu - Netflix - Pandora - YouTube, etc, on your television. I thought this was going to be an extension of my smartphone or tablet screen where I could broadcast my screen, but it isn't; it is more like a smart device that is authorized and controlled by the smartphone. But I still love it. I take it on trips to watch TV in our hotel room. Most of what I watch is Netflix streaming from my list/queue. When not in use, it has a slideshow of beautiful images displayed. I just saw that Roku has now released a version of its own, but no idea how they compare. I highly recommend this Chromecast.

Fast shredding of multiple pages

I bought this to shred years of paperwork. I had a "competitor" store brand and it broke in less than a year, so time to get a name brand. It takes in many sheets so this makes the work go fast. It is also fast in feeding the paper. But it is noisy! It also has a small bin/basket so it fills up too fast and have to empty often. Since this is cross cut and not micro-cut, it is bulky shreds, so be sure to have lots of 40 gallon trash bags ready.
I have only had this a month, but totally happy with its performance.
