It is really convenient to put ear buds inside hard case and very convenient to carry as well. Hard case is very handy and can be used to charge 3 times which will give close to 20 hours of usage. Headphones are very lightweight and very comfortable to wear.

Outstanding Blender from Ninja!

from Chander AZ
I have used different brands of blenders and Ninja - Smart Screen 72-Oz. Blender one is the best one of them all. My wife made first smoothie with it. She made one without using the FreshVac and another one with the FreshVac. The taste was really good using FreshVac.
It came with various parts. 20 oz. single serve FreshVac cups with lids, 72 oz. FreshVac pitcher, 6 AA batteries (for the FreshVac Pump), the 1400 Peak Watt motor base, removable blade assembly and a recipe book.
With Smart Screen Technology, at a touch of a setting on the screen, you get customized power and speed via 7 pre-set Auto-iQ programs to achieve the perfect result for the job with no guesswork. It's smart. It's effective. It just works!
The feet on the blender are suction feet. This is great. With 1400 Watts of Peak power, you'll never have to worry about the blender walking around your counter top. All the parts are dishwasher safe. Smart touchscreen reveals each vessel's Chef-designed, automatic pre-set recipe programs for drinks, smoothies, and shakes.
20 oz. single-serve FreshVac cup for nutrient & vitamin extraction. The powerful Pro Extractor Blades assembly breaks down tough ingredients. 72 oz. FreshVac blender pitcher transforms your favorite ingredients into smoothies, dips, purees, and more with the Total Crushing blades. The 1400W motor easily liquefies solid ingredients, quickly creating purees and juices with smooth, even consistencies. It is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
Ninja 72 Oz blender has done excellent job and produced outstanding results while making smoothies.

Excellent Entry Level Office / Home B&W Printer!

Setup is quick and easy for Brother DLP L2550DW. I was using brother HL-2170W before and compare to my current model this one has lot good features and bigger size. I have downloaded the required software in windows PC and followed the instructions. I was able to connect the printer wirelessly with WPS setup in printer / Router.
It can hold up to 250-sheet capacity paper tray, 50-sheet auto document feeder and 100-sheet output tray with duplex printing option. Documents can be printed wirelessly from Ipad or iPhone with apple Airprint. The printing speed is great and it prints much faster than my old brother printer. The quality of printing is outstanding as well.
This printer has all features like Print, Scan and Fax. It prints up to 36 ppm* in black and generates documents quickly. I like laser printer than inkjet printers as it is good for high volume printing. This printer handle large volumes quickly and at a low cost per page. Toner (powder) is used instead of ink, so you get smudge-free images and text. Up to 2400 x 600 dpi (dots per inch) high resolution print to produce incredible quality and detail in documents and photos.
I have connected this printer with USB port 2.0 for simple connectivity to windows desktop. The Two-line monochrome LCD screen is super helpful to control printing, copying and scanning directly from the printer.
I like Built-in duplex printing Print on both sides of the page without turning it over manually to minimize your printing costs and help the environment which was missing in my old printer.
Brother DLP L2550DW is a excellent laser printer for office and home use with lot of great features. I highly recommend this printer to anyone and it is exceeded my expectations.

Excellent & Lightweight Vaccum!!!
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
This is the best vacuum we have ever used. Once out of the box you will notice the instructions and assembly took less than 10 mins. The design of this vacuum is excellent and light, easy to use, versatile.
I have used it in multiple places in my home and it worked flawlessly with no issues. The powerful suction pulls the dirt from far places. The canister is transparent and it will reveal how fast it fills. It empties without any need to contact the dust. The simple design of the attachments and detachable hose makes them useful. With low profile attachments, it becomes relatively easy to reach under the sofas and tables.
I have used on hard floors as well as carpets and it provides deep-carpet cleaning, and powerful suction to pick up debris from hard floors. The bagless technology saves time and energy with no bags to buy or replace. The suction is really good with 120V motor.
The Crevice tool allows you to clean in tight spaces with combination of dusting brush/upholstery tool helps you clean your furniture thoroughly. With the touch of a button, this vacuum cleaner transforms into a lightweight, portable handheld vacuum to take your cleaning above the floor - on furniture, stairs
It comes with .2 gallon dust cup and holds good amount of dirt. The 30" cord enables you to clean a large area before needing to change outlets. Filter has to be cleaned every month and It is top of the unit.
I will say that this vacuum works very well everywhere in any type of floors.

Excellent Bagless Vaccum with Turbo Plus!!!
on October 27, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
BISSELL - Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum was very easy to assemble. It came with nicely packaged and various add-on tools Dusting brush, wand, motorized brush and LED lighted crevice tool.
We have tried many of the vacuum brands and there were certain things we didn't like about it. We bought this vacuum and used it for more than 2 weeks now. It outperforms other vacuums by far. With the other vacuums the brushes were always getting filed with hair from our dog and my wife / daughter's long hair, and we always had to reach inside the canister to pull out debris. In Pet Hair Eraser, nothing on the brush and the canister empties out perfectly. It makes our carpet look beautiful when we are done. It is easy to maneuver and suck out all debris really well. We can't say enough good about this vacuum.
I have tried in carpet, hard floors and it works really great. This vacuum comes with bagless technology and no bags to buy or replace. Creative tool and dusting brush are really good add-ons which allow you to clean tight spaces, stairs and flat surfaces. It has 0.2-gallon dust cup and holds lot of dirt, so you can empty it less. It has motorized brush for tough tasks and lifts stubborn pet hair and ground-in dirt from surfaces while powerful suction carries it away.
It has strong suction power from start to finish and Cyclonic technology separates dirt from the air, preventing it from clogging filters and ensuring consistently strong suction power. The 30" cord enables you to clean a large area before needing to change outlets. The Wand for cleaning above the floor extends to clean ceiling fans and other hard-to-reach places. With a 120V motor, you can achieve reliable suction and helps you keep your home clean.
If you have pets, please don't look back and buy this vacuum.

Best Ergonomic Mouse from Logitech!
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Logitech - MX Vertical Wireless Optical Mouse is a huge upgrade from a basic mouse. Setup is quick and easy. There are three ways to connect this mouse to PC. It can be connected via included USB-C charging cable, Logitech Unifying receiver, or Bluetooth. I have plugged in Logitech unifying receiver and connected without any issues.
I was impressed immediately with design and comfort of using this mouse. It is perfect for continuous use and shape of the mouse is really good for hand. Thanks to the excellent ergonomic design. The layout of the buttons are really good and perfectly placed. The optics of the mouse is so accurate and very easy to navigate. All of the buttons can be configured via app. The battery is rated close 4 months of use for full charge.
There are lot of key features in this mouse. Natural handshake position and it reduces muscular strain by 10% compared to regular mouse and more ergonomic posture for your hand, wrist and forearm. The unique vertical angle reduces wrist pressure while the thumb rest keeps your thumb and hand in a very comfortable position. The advanced 4000 DPI sensor gives high precision tracking with far less hand movement. It is shaped very well for hands for smooth touch with solid natural grip.
I am using two computer monitors at office and Logitech flow and easy switch technology is super helpful to move the cursor across the screens. I am using this mouse for few days in office and at home. It is night and day difference with standard mouse.
I highly recommend this mouse to everyone due to advanced ergonomic design.

Compact & Stylish Printer with Instant Ink Feature
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
HP - Tango Wireless Instant Ink Ready Printer is very easy setup. It came with printer, power card, one black and one color cartridges along with quick setup guides. I have downloaded HP smart app in app store and setup was done less than 5 mins. It automatically detected the printer and connected to home network quickly. After installing the cartridges, it automatically did the alignment. It was one of the smooth and best installation experience.
During setup, it will ask to sign up HP instant ink (two month free trial if you sign up during setup) with various monthly plan options starting as low as $2.99 per month with 50 pages. You can select the plan depending upon on number of prints per month. If ink is getting low, it automatically order the ink for you which is really convenient.
I like the compact size of this printer and it has very stylish look. The LED colors are very useful to indicate the status of printing. It also indicate if there is no paper in phone app as well on the printer. I have installed the software in my PC and able to print without any issues. If you print 5x7 photos, it is free and it does not count to your monthly page limit. I was able to print the document from google drive from phone.
The print results are really good and i did print a photo with the samples provided with printer. I was amazed with the quality of photo print. The Tango printer is very easy to use and very convenient to print from anywhere. This is one of the best printer i have ever owned. Please sign up for HP Instant ink and you will never worry about running out ink.
I highly recommend this printer for home and office use.

2 out of 5
2 out of 5Not worth for the price
By Jacobs
from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:

+ R8000 has excellent consistent connection as well at full speed by ISP

+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

-R8000 – did not bother to check as soon as I read that it does not support mobile devices using same OpenVPN platform.
LED Control:
- RT-66R – Not applicable (missing feature)

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.
