Works very well, when placed right
on April 2, 2019
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I think that this antenna is the best one I have owned so far. RIght out of the box you can tell that it is very easy to install. There is a power brick that you connect to USB and to a coax cable out to the antenna. It also includes 4 "sticky" velcro pads for mounting on a flat surface. They are actually the reusable type which makes it easy for re-positioning the antenna.
After a few attempts to capture a good signal, it finally scanned most local channels. That is to be expected with any antenna. If you already know where you have the best reception then this process may be easier for you. I am new to "cutting the cord" in my living room so this took a little trial and error. Once placed correctly it worked perfectly.
The design is perfect for flat screen TVs as it is very flat. I mounted the small power brick to the back of my TV and secured the cables to hide them. I then mounted the antenna to the wall behind the TV where it would be hidden. This was the best spot for it both signal wise and asthetically. I left enough slack on the line to let the TV move freely as it is a full range mount.
Overall I am very happy with this antenna, and i would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to cut the cord.

Works good, not the best
on April 2, 2019
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I first thought that this wireless charger would be one of the best I own. I was wrong. It has a very high quality build, but that is where the positives end. Don't get me wrong, the wireless charger does work. But the charging "sweet spot" is actually smaller than some of the other cheaper chargers I own. I actually have to play around with the phone each time I place it on the charger to get it to work. I don't know if it's the coil location or what, but it is a little frustrating.
The second issue is that it is not a fast charger. It does not advertise it to be one, I just don't know why it would not be in this day and age.
Other than that, it does what it is supposed to do, and that is to charge the phone. It is basic and does it's job, but nothing special.

Good product if you are patient
on January 26, 2019
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I really took my time to write this review as I wanted to make sure that we utilized the product properly as it was intended.
The first thing you have to do is make sure that you are of the proper skin tone. It has a small sensor that will detect what skin tone you have so that it can properly administer the correct strength of laser. Then you are to shave the area you are going to treat. You then place the head on the area and it gives off a small dose of laser. It feels kind of funny, almost like a quick rubber band snap. Not painful, just like a split second of sensation.
After about 4 weeks of use, we could notice that the hair was growing back thinner than before. It recommends that you use for about 8 weeks for meaningful impact.. You can see that it definitely does work, and I imagine it will only get better with continued use.
About 3 people in my house have tested this product, all with different skin tones and it left all with visibly thinner hair. There is no reason to believe that it will not continue to thin the hair until almost unnoticeable.

Works when it wants to
on December 31, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This device is pretty cool and I like the concept. It uses Bluetooth to connect your phone to your car, along with an aux cable or FM modulator, so you can use Amazon Alexa services.
It uses an app to connect and it makes the setup very easy. It connected to my Amazon account very easy as well.
Then once connected you can use Alexa to do numerous features from streaming a music service, ask questions, and make phone calls. These features work pretty well for the most part but they do glitch once in a while. For example, if you are streaming Pandora it will actually shut off for no reason. Then, it also does not connect automatically when you enter your car. It actually does this once in a while but not every time. There is a setting in the phone/app that lets you enable the device to auto connect but it still doesn't work every time.
Other than Alexa, it works like any other Bluetooth adapter for the car and it does work very well. But it does have the few quirks I mentioned above.

Made a big difference
on November 30, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
We have struggled with dust in our home for years. I have a cleaning lady come every 2 weeks and by that point there is a full layer of dust in my house. I decided to give this unit a try to see if it helped. It did.
The unit is big and surprisingly quiet. It runs all day if you want it to and does not make that much noise like I said. No louder than my HVAC unit that runs.
I first tried it in my bedroom where I felt would help the most since it's where I sleep. After the first night I felt that the air was much cleaner. My wife and I both suffer from allergies and we both agreed that we felt like there were less allergens in the air. But after the 2 weeks between cleanings the biggest difference was the dust. There is visibly less dust in the room than before. There was still some but a lot less. We have never had the vents cleaned since we bought the house 10 years ago so we think that would help too.
We now want to place the unit in the main living room to see if it can handle the larger area.
Overall we are very happy with this unit and think it actually does what it claims.

Versatile and works great
on November 22, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This new coffee maker looks really good. The feel however seems like the cheap plastic Keurig typically uses. It has more aesthetics than anything else. That does not bother me, but it may affect some.
The machine works really well. I have brewed standard coffee with no issues as expected. I then brewed a latte with frothed milk. So far no issues. I have never owned a machine that does this so the learning curve for me took a little getting used to. But once you learn how, you can froth the milk with no issues.
I used the single shot feature and was a little skeptical. Not sure if I can tell the a "shot" was added, but is a pretty cool feature I guess.
People are all impressed when they come to our house now and see this machine on my counter. Overall I have no complaints about it.
I use it almost every day and would recommend it to anyone who wants a little more out of their coffee experience.

Sounds Fantastic, Alexa OK
on November 19, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This speaker is a huge upgrade over any Alexa speaker I have seen or used. It has a nice size and super high quality build. The speaker sound is fantastic. It has booming sound with a nice rich bass.
We use this speaker in our kitchen, which has an open plan to a back porch and our living room. The sound from this speaker reaches all 3 rooms and it is crystal clear. So far we love the sound.
The built in Alexa was a big selling point for me. We have several smart home devices and use Alexa every day. The only issue is that for some reason this version of Alexa has a hard time performing tasks. Not sure why. This Bose is replacing a 2nd generation Echo and there are noticeable differences. She sometimes says that "there are multiple devices with that name" when I ask her to shut of lamps for example. When I go into the Alexa app, I verified that there were not multiple devices under the same name. It is simply a glitch. The Echo never had that issue. Hopefully the bugs get worked out, until then it is a moderate annoyance.
Overall this is a very high quality Alexa speaker that should serve any room in the house very well. I do recommend it.

This keyboard does it's job
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
This keyboard is very easy to setup. You plug in the USB dongle to the back of the TV, go to a website on your browser and you are good to go.
I am using this on my Samsung smart TV and I love it. I can now browse the web on the big screen. I use this when the family is doing something online together. We were shopping for cars and everyone had their input while i effortlessly scrolled and typed using the keyboard.
It even controls other functions of the TV perfectly so this is even easier to use.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to fully utilize their compatible smart TV.

Delivers on the Dolby Atmos Experience
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
Some people say that Atmos technology is a gimmick. I disagree. I have tested these Atmos surround speakers thoroughly and can tell you that you can hear how they work.
The first thing to keep in mind is what you will need to experience Atmos. You need a 4k receiver that decodes Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos content such as 4k blue ray. When paired together right, these speakers will shine.
These speakers actually reflect sound off your ceiling to make you need sound all around where you are seated, and yes they actually do just that. I have them mounted on top of my Klipsch floor standing speakers connected to a Pioneer Elite receiver. I then watched Spiderman Homecoming in 4k. I physically crossed over between these speakers and my old surround speakers by changing the wires in the back of the receiver. The difference is night and day. These produce reflecting sound that fills the room more that traditional surround mounted speakers. I love having these when watching movies in the home theater.
I recommend these speakers for anyone who is serious about their home theater setup. These are worth every penny for the detailed sound they produce.

Center Channel for serious listeners
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
Right out of the box you notice that this center channel is big...very big. But what it delivers is well worth the footprint it takes up.
First, this speaker is very beautifully put together. It is piano black, which is a very glossy and shiny black that is very easy to dust. It resists fingerprints better than I expected. The grill is magnetic, so no more broken plastic grill clips.
Now the sound. Awesome. This speaker delivers sounds that I have never heard a center channel produce before ever. You can hear the difference between this speaker and all of the other center channel speakers I have ever owned before. This blows them all away. Even the ones that I thought were high end, no this one takes the cake.
I love everything about this center channel speaker, i actually am re-watching my favorite movies because the audio all sounds new to me with this speaker. You can seriously hear every detail. I love it.
I recommend this center channel speaker to anyone who wants the best quality in their home theater and likes simple sleek design.

I'm a runner in the market for new buds. Will these stay in during a rigorous workout?

I would not risk running with these buds. They are a little bulky and have a rubber "band" that is supposed to help seal in the ear, but can also push the bud out a little. I would recommend the Plantronics Backbeat Fit ear buds.

Simplify security at your home or business with this Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock. The touchscreen design makes interacting easy, and the option for automatic unlocking when you approach with your phone adds convenience. This Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock employs Wi-Fi connectivity for adjusting settings remotely.
 

Do I have to have a “smart” home to use this lock? Or can I simply install it and download an app to control Access?

Your question sort of contradicts itself as using an app to control something is essentially a "smart" home function. You can use the lock without connecting to the internet and use as a simple push code lock. But for that then spend less money and buy one without the internet accessibility. Once this lock is setup you can connect it to your home network and control it using the August app if you wish. You can also integrate it into an even "smarter" home by adding the Connect bridge and using it with Google Home, Alexa, etc. Hope this answers your question.
