6 year old approved

Fit 6 year old girl well at smallest band setting. She tried out all the features herself. She said it did not get loud enough to hurt at the highest volume setting, which is good. She liked choosing and putting the stickers on the ear phones. She also liked having a volume control on the earphones themselves. Her last set didn't have local volume control. She has sensitive ears like me and rarely likes to wear ear phones for more than an hour, and that was the case with these, so they are "normal" in that respect. The audio jack is kind of L-shaped with an extra slight angle, making it wider than 90 degrees by a smidgen. Should be long enough to fit most jacks on most cases on phones/tablets. A really thick case or a recessed port (like on an old cassette tape player maybe?) will present a challenge. They do fold well, but I think they will wear fairly quickly in the hands of most little kids, especially those younger than 7. All foam ones, like her previous ones are probably a better choice for pre-schoolers.

Good for many uses, not the best for loud music
on May 10, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975

It paired easily and reliably to 3 devices. I used the handy built in clip to hang it for use as a speaker in the shower, and on a backpack out in the rain, both good uses for its waterproof rating. It holds a charge a good long while. The speakers sound pretty good at low and mid volume. At higher volumes they quickly become distorted.

Nicely Simple Wet/Dry Shaver
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
Tested it out first day in front of the mirror with just wet skin. Shaved well and didn't irritate my skin overly (just a bit more than a disposable manual razor).
Tested it the second time in the shower, warm wet shave with shave cream. Worked like a charm with no skin irritation what so ever.
Charge seems to last a good long while.
Mission accomplished.

Pretty unique little bluetooth speaker
on April 20, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
I got about 2.75 hours of music playing out of this on the first charge. Pretty good. It turns on right in pair mode, so it doesn't take long to get it setup. The sound gets fairly loud and stays fairly clear for such a small device. If you have it clipped onto your collar in a fairly normal sound environment, you will not have to have it at full volume to hear the music clearly. I took a couple phone calls on this while I was testing it and it worked well enough, but I wouldn't consider this its strength. Only has the two buttons on it (+ and -), which you use in different combinations of pressing or holding for different lengths of time for the functions. For instance, you have to hold the + key for about 2 seconds to answer an actively incoming phone call, which is the main reason why I wouldn't consider it as a primary handsfree device.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

Pretty Good Portable Bluetooth Speaker All Weather
on April 6, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
This is my first Bose Bluetooth Speaker. The battery lasts a long time, it is water resistant (not waterproof!). It sounds very good. Is very easy to connect with the BOSE CONNECT smartphone app. The volume can get quite loud, but at the very high end, it sounds pretty overdriven and distorted. I am happiest with the connection via the APP, makes it very easy to use. There is a NFC connection I used with my Windows Phone (since it doesn't offer the Bose Connect App), this worked well too.

Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

Gives Your Revolve or Revolve+ a Happy Home
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
It's a charger and it's a cradle. It does both very well. It uses the charge cord and power adapter that comes with the Revolve speaker system. Bose's customary craftsmanship and attention to detail shows on the design and construction of this premium item.
The Revolve+ has a hefty weight to it. The grooves on this charging cradle and the bottom of the Revolve speakers make sure it fits just the right way to connect the charger plates on each. You can use all the features of the speaker while it is charging on the cradle.

Max mode is about 6 minutes, but very powerful
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
I received this free in exchange for reviewing. For a small portable vacuum, this has powerful suction in MAX mode, but only runs about 6 minutes. Normal mode still does pretty good for the things I used it for (stairs, high corner cobwebs with the attachment, automobiles) and runs between 25 and 30 minutes. It empties easily and quickly right into the trash bin, and has a washable filter. It is fairly light and easy to handle. It does have a floor roller head with typical Dyson ball movement, but I don't really see using it for much floor use, just some light hardwood floor pickup on occasion. This will now be my go to vacuum for automobiles and cobwebs. No need to bring out the Shop Vac unless its a really big messy job. Start cleaning in regular mode, then go back over trouble spots with Max mode if needed.

Very Good Mesh Home Wi-Fi for large homes
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
Pros: The three nodes (one acts as a router, the other two as extenders) will cover very large homes in reliable Wi-Fi without the bandwidth carving of wireless extenders. Up to 6,000 square feet.
Easy to setup with a smartphone/tablet app that uses Bluetooth to talk to the nodes during setup. This process is long, but you only have to do it once.
Uses one network name (SSID) / Password for both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz and handles switching between the nodes by your Wi-Fi devices seamlessly.
Not much to configure for those who just want reliable Wi-Fi in a large home, and don't care about a lot of technical settings/control.
Automatically updates the firmware if needed at night.
Cons: Can only use the App to configure and setup. No advertised way to use a web browser on computer for settings.
Promised Amazon Alexa voice control is not available at launch
Does not have USB ports on the nodes for printers/hard drives.
Cannot control a lot of optimization of your wifi/LAN due to limited app, i.e. cannot set DNS servers, cannot shift DHCP IP ranges.
Cannot use in Access Point (AP) mode off another established router.
Only two Ethernet ports on each node (one available on node used as router or Parent node) so limited wired connections (can use a separate gigabyte switch wired to one of the two Ethernet ports to add more connections).
As always, the updates from new firmware and App updates in the first 6 months of a Router Product launch will round out its features/useability. Looking forward most to the Amazon Alexa voice control to turn on/off the guest network, and even say out loud what the guest SSID and password is.
Compared to a NETGEAR Orbi system, this is a MESH topology

Very Easy to use wireless security cameras
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
Wow, this system is impressive.
Pros:
Cameras are 720p I believe and the images look good.
There is a bit of a delay but not bad when view live video and using the 2 way audio to talk back and forth.
Night vision is adequate for about 15 to 20 feet.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection, and the duration of the recordings once motion is detected.
You can choose push notifications by motion or audio detection on your phone app and/or email.
You can setup/use just about everything the same whether from the computer browser login or the phone apps.
You can activate the siren (which is very loud) on the base station by motion detection or MANUALLY by the computer or phone app.
You can add a USB memory stick or Hard drive to the Base Station to have local recordings of what goes to the Cloud Storage, it will overwrite older videos first as it gets full.
Basic No-subscription Account is for up to 5 cameras and 7 days Cloud Storage.
Battery Life is amazing, have yet to come close to discharging the factory charge the rechargeable batteries came with.
The magnetic mounts that are included work very well and allow you to swivel quite a bit (they are rounded), and should work very well for indoor use.

Cons:
This system as of now does not work with my home automation controller of choice which is Wink. I hope it will in the future. Older Arlo cameras and the direct to Wi-Fi Arlo Qs (no base station) do work with Wink, so there is hope there.
Batteries have to be recharged in the camera via supplied USB charger or with a separately purchased charging station, also doesn't come with any spare batteries.
The excellent magnetic mounts that come with the unit aren't really practical for outside security cameras (too easy to take the camera), but you can purchase separately outdoor screw in mounts that work well.

Notes:
The wireless range allowable from the base station (which you plug into your router/switch/extender with a Ethernet cable) is impressive, but will be affected by the materials the signal is passing through. This system is by NETGEAR and worked flawlessly with my NETGEAR Wi-Fi system, no interference. If you do have some interference (camera images less than ideal or Wi-Fi connection problems on devices nearby) first try to move the base station (tethered with an Ethernet cable) further away from the router or extender its attached to.

A Good Replacement for an older Ninja
on January 2, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
This blender exceeded my expectations. The auto IQ features are very easy to use, and it comes with all the features needed for blending and light food processing. It has no problem with frozen fruits or ice at all. It cleans up very easy just like the older Ninjas, with a lot of the parts can go straight into the dishwasher if desired. It uses different sized attachments than my old Ninja, so can't reuse any of the cups on the new machine itself. There are a number of wonderful accessories available. I recommend the Coffee and Spice Grinder stainless steel one, its great for grinding coffee, spices, heck even making your own peanut/almond/cashew butter.

Looking to get help from Alexa and Google Home owners. I have had Alexa since it's release. Thinking of switching everything over to Google Home. Thoughts on which one is better?
They both have their uses. I have both, I use both. You can use Alexa to get to Cortana, and use Cortana to get to Alexa. You can use Alexa and Fire TV to quickly view Arlo Cameras. Both integrate well with Wink Hub 2 based smart home devices, and can do so at the same time. It would be nice to get all the smart speakers and displays to play the same music together synched regardless of if they are Google or Amazon based, but that's probably never going to happen. If I had to pick one, I'd pick Alexa because of how many skills they have for it. But I don't have to, because they coexist quite well.

Can you plug in an xbox one into this monitor and play games on it with a wireless controller?
Yes you can do that. I have tested it. If you want regular sound, you will have to hook up speakers to the audio line out jack on the monitor. It does not have internal speakers, but will convert HDMI audio to the analog line out jack, which is a standard headphone type jack.

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don’t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep — and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they’re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.
How well do these work for silencing out loud snoring from your bed partner?
They don't silence out the snoring, they mask it with other more relaxing sounds. I'd say they do a pretty good job of masking most snoring, but if you got a partner like a jet engine, you probably don't sleep next to them already.
