Perfect

from Dallas, TX
I wanted a UPS for my Mac here in Texas due to the unpredictable weather. Got this one for the price point versus power time. Wow is this perfect. Set-up was very simple and I have mine telling me based upon my normal use age how long it will last. This basically gives me a couple of hours to monitor the situation and power down safely. I will also have plenty of juice to keep my phones and Apple watches running for days. Really could not be happier with the simplify of the product, how easy it was to set up and the functionality

Outstanding

Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I bought this for my movie room which includes a 120" HD projector and 7.2 (yes, x.2 for 2 subs) entertainment.
Set-up is fairly easy with installation in-line with the HDMI to the TV/Projector. If you already have Phillips lighting, just add it. If not, register and then add
Tell the app where the lights are and watch the magic.
Key point - install the lights behind the TV facing the wall outwards, or with a projector/screen, the light strips attached to the frame works better
Watch your movies with the lights off, and enjoy the immersive experience. Don't expect full image projection, but a more engaging experience with the ambiance reflected throughout the room
Warning...this will make you want to expand your experience with Phillips lighting products

Another hit for Plantronics
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I have had other Plantronics Fit products the were wireless, but this is the first totally wireless
First you buy these to use when you want to hear music and the outside world. They are terrible in noisy environments like a plane, but wonderful when running on the street
The fit is excellent and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort
The sound is solid given that these are totally wireless and NOT noise canceling (not in the least)
The weather protection is top tier and I tested them on a run in the rain, and they never failed. This is not a surprise since they are known to make it through a washer machine
Overall, they do exactly what Platronics claims, fit and perform well, and will last long after the next generation of these headphones come oit

Sweet!

Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I bought this is replace my aging (other brand) suspension trainer
This one is very sturdy and built to take the punishment (and give it!) over many years. Honestly, I doubt that I will even be able to wear this one out
The handles are comfy, the straps are thick and durable, and there is an attachment for everything. I doubt that I will ever pack this one for a business trip, but I have the parts to use it in a hotel room should I want to, and even a travel case
I know that TRX are not the cheapest option out there, but no doubt that they are the best - rightfully earned reputation

Wanted to love them
on October 26, 2019
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I really wanted to love these headphones, but...
The good
Just like other Sennheiser audio products, these sound spectacular. The highs are crisp, the lows deep, and the sound is well balanced. The quality of the sound is really top notch. The ear cups are comfortable and I can wear them for long periods without discomfort or my ears getting hot
What can be improved
First off, they are not very attractive. I know that should not be important, but they do look like they belong on Gigantor or another robot from years past
The included manual is rudimentary at best. Every language imaginable but no real instructions
This is important since there is a button or toggle for everything. No multi function button or proximity sensors to make things easier
Sennheiser tried to make that easier by applying an ugly instruction sticker that lasted all of 10 seconds before I tore it off. Really seems like an afterthought
The “3” stars is because of the Bluetooth lag. This was common a few years back, but all other brands found ways around this. I bought these to watch movies on my Mac, and I am struggling to keep interest
Lastly, I also want to use these for long flights (on an iPad) and the battery can not be swapped out with a fresh one leaving me to keep them plugged in during the overseas portion of my flights.
For $399, I guess I just expected more

Decent toothbrush
on October 15, 2019
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I have been using an electric toothbrush for years and Phillips is always one of the tops
My teeth are especially clean, and according to my dentist, my gums are in better shape because of it
While the bluetooth is a neat function, I find it totally irrelevant. I brush twice a day, and do not follow the guide on areas and pressure

Delicious
on September 24, 2019
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
I have been using a De’Longhi brand super automatic espresso machine for years. Super delicious and very easy to use. Add water to the side and beans in the top and I was ready to go. Only upkeep was throwing away the grinds and a descale once a year. Loved my machine
When this one came out, I knew that it was time to upgrade
For a super automatic, this is priced about right
For functionality, it rocks. I get the same speed for shots, but somehow this one is even smoother and richer. The espresso is coming out perfect every time. Not that the old one made any bad drinks, it is that this one is just better
The pour over ice is a wonderful addition, and worth the upgrade alone

I started with the WeMo lights around the house, then when the dimmer came out, it went into our chandelier. Now that they came out with the 3-way, our kitchen is all set.
As usual, installation is a breeze, operation is simple, and it fully integrates into the Belkin ecosystem
Thank you Belkin for another great product in the lineup

Amazing
on September 7, 2019
Posted by: Tony90703
from Dallas, TX
Dealing with plantar faciatis and torn ligaments in my heel and under a doctors care, I bought this to use in between treatments. While this is an expensive piece of equipment, after using it a few times, I find it absolutely necessary for a healthy recovery. I am very active and at my age, find myself with frequent and nagging injuries. Following the iPhone app, I used the "bladed" tip to go after the most troublesome areas. Pain relief is achieved (50% or more) in a single session, and each day I am finding that the injuries are fading away. This device is exceeding all of my expectations and worth every dollar. At some point I will be able to forgo the doctors sessions and just do it myself before they injuries become chronic

Bought this on 4/30 for our new house, but installed it on 6/28 (just moved a few days ago)
Once installed, there is a full line of pixels bad. Vertical black line up the screen
Best Buy on-line will not help, so I have to deal with the store. They even gave me the Sony number to deal with them. Currently an extended hold with Geek Squad
Given Best Buys size, their customer service is now nonexistent
Sorry Best Buy - I just made my last purchase with you - you lost me as a customer

Tried your reset
June 29, 2017
Still got the line on the screen
I know that you can not make a perfect product every time, but I have owned six (6) Sony XBRs over 25 years and never had an issue. I WAS a loyal and faithful TV, MP3, Vaio, etc. consumer
Sony is sending me a new one (with my credit card on file), but I will be required to pay (again) for someone to take the old (defective one) down, and replace it with the new one
I will be out another $100 (or more) because of your defect. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Your problems/defects should not be costing me more money
There was a time when we did not have options. If we wanted a high end TV, Sony was all that there was
Now there is LG, and Samsung that are cheaper and more feature rich. I will find out how they treat their customers, since this replacement, I will not be buying Sony again
Sony - you have lost me as a customer

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately
 

Nest! Please! Why are you so stubborn? Existing owners of your products (cameras, thermostats, protects, doorbells) want a single screen like we have in the nest app, where we can see ALL of our Nest products as soon as we open the app. We implore you!

I agree

Spoke to Google and the new products are no longer compatible with the Nest app

I personally like the tiles to view them all and scroll

This is a game changer, and will change my decision to continue with Nest/Google
