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.

This can Bring the House down
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
First time testing this in the house was happy with the music, but it was bedtime for the kids so I forgot my phone was connected via Bluetooth and went upstairs with them to get them ready, well they asked about a recent movie coming out so I pulled up the trailer on my phone and forgot about the connection. At first didn't hear anything, so I turned my phone up, all of a sudden I felt the bass through the floor and could hear fairly clearly through closed doors the dialog. At that point I was impressed, esp. the feeling of the bass. This is a great speaker, easy to move around with wonderful sound. Battery lasts. I tested it running music through it all day and my phones died before this did. This will be my go-to now when people come over, or we go someplace, sit outside. So easy to grab and go and control. I like it so much I've been using it instead of headphones on my desktop computer when I game. There is something nice about really feeling the booms. Now I'm not an audiophile in the least. I can't tell if this has good bass vs. treble or whatever it is people with better hearing then mine look for. I can tell you it has good range. Music to action sound great and clear and at full volume this thing can shake it. For a portable speaker its a total win, and that handle make it so easy to tote around. It also can connect to devices via a standard AUX or USB connection. I haven't tested those, but I'm sure they work fine.
Setup was easy, esp. if you have an Android or IOS device handy as they have an app to control pairing/firmware updates.
This also doubles as a phone speaker for calls. Seemed to work fine for the quick call I tested. No complaints for the other side, so some additional fun if you want to call grandma. Easy to get everyone around to talk.
Bluetooth pairing wasn't an issue at all, fairly easy overall. The device just worked for me and that is a huge plus.
Overall this is best Bluetooth speaker I've every heard/had in my life.

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.

A Must Have
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a Must have to for the Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker. It makes it easy to keep it charged and ready for action, just place it on the dock, and grab and go when you need the tunes. It saves you from having to fiddle with the USB power connection in the back every time. If you get a Revolve+ get this docking station, it makes life easier. Just wish it came with its own AC adapter. Be nice to have a spare for travel, but that is the worse I can say for this, I consider it a must have. Wish all my stuff that needed charging had docks like this. Makes life very easy.

Head from hardwood to carpet for quick-and-easy full-house cleanups with this Dyson V7 Motorhead vacuum in hand. The direct-drive cleaner head dives deep into your rugs, getting up dirt from even hard-to-reach spaces. Disconnect the handle of this Dyson V7 Motorhead vacuum, and you've got a cordless handheld vac for simple sweep-ups of spills.

Overall Unimpressed with Dyson V7
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Overall I am unimpressed, with Dyson V7 and the Company itself. The V7 is a small, and light product. The cordless feature appealed to me to help with quick cleanup especially in the car where getting the shop vac out can be a hassle. However after using the product I think the shop vac is easier. The good is, they aren't lying when they say the vac runs at full power until no charge. That is nice. From the beginning to the end you get full power. However if you use max suction it will be less then 30 and about 30 minutes when on the slower speed. Hope you get what you want vacuumed in that period because then it takes a few hours to recharge fully for use.
If that was it, I'd be happy because a car can be done with that amount of charge, and the occasion mess pick up around the house again is within the charge amount. However I have noticed a few flaws in the device too. The finish had a paint chip missing showing low QA to allow that out, and if it wasn't QA it was in shipping. Though my box was fine, so I think that was bad QA.
Additionally they in include a wall dock to hand the V7 on the wall with the attachments. This would have been handy if they included the screws and anchors like there documentation said. DON'T EXPECT THE SCREWS AND ANCHORS.
After, talking with what Dyson, laughingly calls, 5-star service, all I got was after a run around. Yes the manual is wrong, and we aren't including the screws. With the support doing the minimum effort and not supporting there product, esp. to the tune for a buck worth of screws and anchors for the customer, I don't think I will ever support this company. Simple customer service, since they made the mistake in documentation, could have helped in getting me the screws.
Additionally after using this device a few times, my large hands may not be designed for this. After using it for 20 minutes in testing around the house my thumb, where it meets my palm, the done at that point was rubbed raw. So if you have normal size man hands and expect to hold the device to the length of the charge be prepared for some discomfort after using.
Because of the paint chip, poor customer service and the fact it doesn't fit my hands I can't support this product or recommend anyone else. The battery, while staying at power doesn't last long enough to be useful expect for some edge cases or quick clean up. Is uncomfortable to use and the lack of 5-star service all make Dyson a company I will avoid in the future. Esp. because of the customer service. I can over look the chip on the finish and thumb getting rubbed wrong, since it does vacuum well, but the poor customer service kills it. If there customer service actually provided service and the screws and anchors there documentation lists, I would have given it 4 stars with the caveats above as long as you understand the limited use for this. But because there customer service is anything but find a different company as this product does not shine over Dyson's lack of support.

Barbella was the best fitness trainer in all of Skylands. Not only did she possess otherworldly strength, she was also a firm believer that a healthy diet and exercise led to true happiness. With such a positive message to spread, Barbella decided to open her own fitness center called "Flex-a-lot", where she hoped to instill good eating and workout habits with all of her patrons. But one day, the gelatinous villain known as the Gulper destroyed her gym, and it took all of Barbella~s strength to keep it from collapsing while everyone fled to safety. It was then that Barbella realized that bad guys were more hazardous to your health than anything else, so she began to train in the ways of the Sentinel, where she quickly became one of the greatest masters in the world!

The only thing that ever mattered to Chopscotch was mastering her weapon of choice, the giant axe, while rocking out to her favorite musical idol, Wolfgang. It never bothered her that she was short in stature or that all of the other ghouls in the Underworld laughed at the way she spoke in rhymes as she made up her own lyrics to Wolfgang~s guitar jams. So when Wolfgang joined the villainous Doom Raiders, she was devastated. But instead of letting it destroy her, she chose to put her axe skills to good use, and fought Wolfgang and his Moon Goons when they attempted to curse her entire town during an evil concert. Her willingness to stand up to her long time hero came as a surprise to everyone, and soon all of the villagers were speaking in rhymes in her honor. Soon after, she met Master Eon, who was so impressed at her fighting abilities and positive outlook that he recruited her as a Sensei for the Smasher Class. Now she teaches new Skylanders how to fight~ and how to rhyme!

At first glance, it~s easy to be frightened by Hood Sickle. Some say it~s his imposing stature that freaks them out. Others are unnerved by his menacing hood. But most just try to stay away from his long, sharp scythe ~ and it didn~t help that he had a bad habit of disappearing and then suddenly popping up behind unsuspecting people. In fact, the Trap Masters that locked him away in Cloudcracker Prison hoped they would never have to see him again. But Master Eon thought there might be a chance for Hood Sickle to change his ways. Everyone said Eon was crazy, but after spending time with the mysterious creep, Eon learned that Hood Sickle was actually not a bad guy ~ just really super spooky. Hood Sickle took his job of terrifying others very seriously, and Eon believed that perhaps he could bring a similar dedication to teaching others as a Sensei. Plus, he figured that Skylanders in training would certainly pay attention in his classes. This has all proven true, and Hood Sickle now teaches Sentinel Imaginators, who definitely hang on his every word. Or else.

A Perfect Printer For Me
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
I went with this printer because the cost of Ink was just getting silly in my house. I realized we didn't need color printing so I started to look for a low cost Laser. This one worked great for me. It was easy to setup and get on my Wireless network using my laptop. After that all my other PC's on the network have found and haven't issues printing. The wireless is a nice addition as I can locate more centrally in the house for everyone. We haven't had a problem printing yet, and the quality is perfect for me.

Great Vaccuum
on January 12, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great vaccuum. I like the fact it has a detachable canister so I can carry the thing as I vacuum the stairs or clean areas around the house that can't be reached easily by a rolling vacuum. It have a good amount of suction and is very easy to move around the house. The detachable hose is also great for getting the curtains and couches. I have no complaints with this one. It vacuums very well and I am very happy with it. The different attachments for hard surface floors is a nice addition to get to hard to reach places and the fact I can switch the brush roller over on hard surfaces is nice as I don't have to worry about dirt and other things flying around like I did with my last vacuum. I like the fact everything is labeled and easy to use. My only con with this is the cord doesn't auto retract and I have to wind it myself. But considering how well this little thing cleans and out does my last vacuum. I'm very happy with it.

Excellent Camera System
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a neat self contained camera system. Everything you need is included in the box including its own WiFi base system. These camera's sync with the base station (which has a really, and I mean really, load siren) and that is how they communicate. The base system connects to your internet via Ethernet. I am assuming the base station runs on 2.4 band as I have a very large coverage area in and around my house.
The batteries for the camera's are fully charged which is good (see cons) and sync and setup is fairly straight forward and I encountered no problems getting the cameras attached. By default the Cloud service is free and will store 1 week of recordings up to 1GB and allow up to 5 camera's I think. If you need longer retention, more recording space or camera's they have a variety of plans to cover you. You can download the records yourself to your computer or phone so the free plan will meet my needs. The motion detector and night vision work and work well. The web service is really good about sending e-mails with a picture right away if motion is detected. You can use the app to fine tune everything. The app will work on IOS or Android. If you don't have one of those any computer/device with Flash can be used to view live recording or admin the cameras. One of the first things I did after set up is create my own profile for arming/motion detection. I find the camera handy to let me know when the kids are home as I get an e-mail right away with a picture. I can communicate via a mic on the camera, but its fairly weak I find. But its good enough inside.
The camera's are indoor/outdoor, but I'm a bit too cold where I am to allow them to go outdoors right now. Still its nice to know in the spring I can set it up to catch the bear in my area. So far I've had the camera's on for a week and the battery is still holding strong for my limited use which is good. Overall I am liking this system I think it works great and covers my simple needs.
Now onto some of the cons:
1. Only one charger is included. It would be nice if they provided two so I could have both camera's plugged in if possible.
2. There is a slight delay in connecting to the cloud service to connect back to your camera's. Depending on your Internet speed (ie you phone out and about) it may be up to 15 seconds before it will start showing what is happening live on the camera.
3. It is a cloud service. It is free, but things change, so plan according that support for these camera's could stop in the future. I don't mind since these camera's are wireless I'm not investing much in setup in and around my house.
Keeping those cons in mind, this is a great simple system to setup and get some live camera's covering your house quickly and easily.

This HP Pavilion gaming desktop has a 1TB hard drive and 128GB solid-state drive for a large game collection and quick boot times.
 

Does the OS come installed on the HDD? If so do we get a product key so that we can switch it to the SSD? And last, but not least, can I system reset the computer and reinstall the OS from scratch??? Thank you.

OS is installed on the SSD not the HDD. But you could change it I guess. However if you are planning on swapping the SSD to something larger, not this the SSD in this PC is M.2 SATA SSD and not the 2.5" Inch form factor.

As long you use the same Microsoft Account the OS Key will transfer based on the Microsoft account, no need to renter a key.

It mentions 9hr of battery life. Ignorant about wireless...is there a required charger? Does it come with headphones?

It comes with an USB Micro Cable. This can be plugged into a computer to charge (about 2 1/2 hours for full charge from 0%) or if you have a spare AC to USB connector (Comes with a lot of last Generation Android/Windows Phones) you can connect to the wall to charge.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

If I wake this device up and my wife happens to rattle off our bank name and account number, is that information sent to Google to help improve their device's voice recognition? I am major worried about things like this with these devices

Once you say Hey Google, it will record and it gets stored on the Google Account associated with the device. Google does allow you to not only see what it has but delete it. They also added a H/W mute to prevent the device from recording. But yes they do store this information and use it.

Do I have to have a tablet or smart phone to activate this? Or, can I activate this from a laptop?

You need an Android (Phone or Tablet) or Apple (iPad/iPhone) device. Google unfortunately doesn't provide for use by Computer at this time and playing with the Android App I'd say you'd be better off with an Android device to get the most out this thing.

Will it help to stop buffering?

This depends on why you are having buffering issues. If your buffering issues are because your internet is slow/ISP not able to deliver no. That is outside the house. However if you have a good ISP/bandwidth coming into the house then this can help, as it improves coverage and since MU-MIMO devices are better able to share wireless with multiple devices. You may still need/wish to upgrade the wireless cards to the newer AC ones that support MU-MIMO to get additional throughput but this may help.
