Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.

This is a very sturdy lock, the interior lock is rather large, the outdoor lock is the keypad. You can lock/unlock your door via the app from anywhere. A separate passcode can be assigned to each person so you know who is exactly entering your house. We have Nest smoke detectors so I was able to just add the lock to my account. Adding the lock was a bit tricky because I scanned the wrong barcode & it never showed up in the app, after scanning the right code app set up was easy. The lock talks to you. Installation took a few tries to line up the lock with the plate. My husband installed it and said it took about 2 tries & a little adjustment with the Dremel to line it up. Other than that installation was quite easy, the outdoor lock basically plugs into the indoor part & fits in your existing deadbolt hole. Sometimes this is the only lock we use now . One touch in the app locks & unlocks it.

Small but mighty

I’ve been using an older Bissell corded stick vacuum which I was looking to replace, let’s just say I can not believe the power & pick up this vacuum has! It was very easy to put together, just 3 pieces that snap together. I had just vacuumed my area rug the previous day & could not believe how much dirt the Dyson picked up from my rug, I guess it never was really clean before . Removing the canister to dump the dirt was a bit tricky but we figured it out. The vacuum is very lightweight but it’s a bit top heavy. The top is removable so you can use it as a car vac or for dust pickup. It comes with a crevice tool & brush attachment & also a bracket for wall mounting. It charges pretty quickly but I can’t comment on the battery life since I haven’t used it that long, battery life is suppose to be 60 min.The cleaner head swivels so it’s very easy to get around furniture & in corners. They say this will replace your full size corded vacuum & I believe it. I love this & recommend it, my Bissell is now retired.

We bought this to replace a Bose system that was no longer compatible with our tv. We love Bose but I must say this sound bar sounds amazing. We played a music blu ray through it & it blew us away. The bar is low so it doesn’t block remote access to your tv but it’s very long, our tv console is small so it hangs over the ends. It also comes with a subwoofer. The subwoofer is short & round. You can play music through Bluetooth or through Chromecast & your Google devices. Connection was easy through HDMI (ARC). If your tv doesn’t have that special port you can also connect with optical cable & auxiliary. We have an LG tv & we thought the speaker would just work when turned on but we had to go into our tv & change the sound settings so it would work. That part took us a few minutes to figure out. Remote comes in its own little bag & bass can be adjusted through it. Except for the sound issue everything else went smoothly & it sounds great.

Syncs with older model base station
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
We already have the older basic Arlo HD camera system & it was nice to add 2 additional cameras. I wasn’t sure if they would sync with the base station I have but it was very easy, I just went through the add a device steps & it synced effortlessly. The Pro 2 cameras are a lot different from the previous older models. They have rechargeable batteries & can also be plugged in. I haven’t tested it long enough to comment on the battery life yet but hopefully it’s better than the photo battery model I have. The cameras are a lot larger too. Audio is also included where you can listen or talk but I find that it breaks up a lot. Night vision is good but we have a motion detector light installed & I recommend that because otherwise it’s very hard to see anything. Daylight looks great & very clear. The base is vertical for these cameras & it is equipped with a siren. I have not tested the base obviously because I’m still using my old one . Works with Amazon Alexa & sends alerts to your phone, I highly recommend turning this off because every little motion sends an alert! All motion is recorded & stored for 7 days when the cameras are set to armed. 2 wall mount magnets included. Overall I’m pleased with them & I’d recommend them as an addition to existing cameras or just by themselves.

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
We got this because we wanted to update our old out of date 60’s thermostat. We have oil baseboard heat with summer/ winter hookup & no A/C. The box said it was compatible with pretty much all types of heat except electric baseboard. When we took our old thermostat out there was no C wire, which is absolutely necessary to connect so we were unable to use it in the house . The system must be heat & air not an old oil set up. Fortunately our garage/ rec room has a heat pump/ AC so we were able to connect it in our rec room. The installation was quick & easy about 1 hr. Take a picture of your wiring before you remove the old thermostat. There are quite a few background color choices to match any decor. Setup was also easy, if you follow the on screen prompts it pretty much guides you through the set up. You can schedule different temperatures for days of the week and hours of the day. WiFi connection was another story, I was able to connect & then lost signal & couldn’t reconnect, you can not set up online unless you are connected to WiFi. I rebooted the router and was then able to connect, so far, so good. The app allows you to control the thermostat from your phone or iPad. Connecting to the app was easy also. Overall this is a very nice looking thermostat which stays lit all the time & it’s easy to read, displaying indoor temperature, heat or A/C setting, outdoor temp & humidity level in room. I’m so glad we were able to use it!

Nice Computer, has good features
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
Set up on this computer was quite easy, a voice talks to you & guides you through the whole process.The screen is large & clear(15.6) , also a touchscreen & the mouse pad is also large, it is a flat surface though so it was a little difficult to move around on. The keyboard is backlit which is a great feature & it is set back further so if you have long arms it is comfortable. The computer has 1 HDMI port , 3 USB ports also a memory card reader & a headphone jack, it is convertible so you can bend it in half & turn it around & it becomes a large tablet. Very slim lightweight design. Bluetooth is also available & I found it very easy to connect my iPhone & was able to access all my photos. Connection to my wireless printer was also very easy. The card reader was quick too & my pictures were up in a few minutes. This computer does not have a CD/DVD drive The battery charges quickly and lasts for a bit, not as long as I expected. Speakers are just ok, sound is clear but no great stereo sound if that's what your'e looking for. The big downfall is Windows 10 with limited apps. I haven't had a laptop since Windows 8, which was awful & this is a little better but not much. I've been using a Mac desktop & still prefer that over Windows but that's my choice, yours may be different. Over all it is a nice computer with quite a few good features.

Plain on the outside but blu rays look great
on August 8, 2017
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
This looks very plain & cheap on the outside, only a few buttons on the front & its small which that isn't a bad thing. We connected it to our LG 4K tv & set up was very easy , probably the easiest I've ever done, select language, network, password & you're set up. I put different blu rays in , including a ultra 4K , that movie is very dark so it was hard to tell how good it looked. When I played Toy Story, it looked amazing, all the textures & patterns felt like I was in the movie. Tried a few older movies & they looked pretty good too. This has a nice size remote with some cool features, like a home button & scene selection which plays from that point or you can keep searching. You can view pictures , Netflix, you tube, screen share, regular dvds, 3D blu rays & photos . For the price I think the features & looks are a bit basic but the quality of the playback makes it worth it.

Grill and brown food to tasty perfection all-year-round with virtually no smoke thanks to the Philips Smoke-less Indoor BBQ Grill. Advanced infrared technology and special reflectors guide heat to the grid for delicious, evenly grilled food. The drip tray underneath remains cool so there is up to 80% less smoke and minimal splattering when cooking.
Posted by: 30stmrox

I have mixed feelings about this, thought it'd be cool to be able to grill indoors in winter or if it rains but the list of "do nots" had me almost paranoid to use it. First the infrared light tells you not to look at it, well you have to to cook your food, so I wore sunglasses, it is very bright! Next don't put under a cabinet, well my counter space is small & I had it away from cabinets but they were very warm, so I was waiting for them to ignite. Don't put near a stove still or working. I made chicken & vegetables from their recipe book, the chicken was dry & I only cooked it as per directions. I cut the vegetables large like they said & half of them fell through the grates into the bottom. They took a long time to cook. Cleaning was easy, the tray slides out so you can clean it. The inside changed color after first use. It only smoked a little too, nothing like the George Forman grill smoked, plus it's a lot larger. Might give it another try but think I'll take it outside , which defeats the whole purpose.

Easy to set up, easy to use
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
Very easy to set up, just set against a wall with 1ft. on either side & 4 ft. In front, charge & go. Easy to follow instructions. There is one button that does it all, the clean button, just press it & the Roomba starts working, press again to turn it off, you can also use the app to start cleaning from anywhere. Wifi connection was easy too. I was impressed by the amount of dust & dirt it picked up. My floors are mostly hardwood with area rugs, it moved fairly easily from floor to carpet except it got hung up twice on an area rug which was flat not a thick rug. It seemed to go over the same areas though, I had to pick it up & move it to another location, this could be because I have a lot of furniture, I'm not sure, that's the only thing I didn't care for. A small visible barrier unit is included in case you want it to avoid pet dishes or just stay in one room. Overall it was fun to watch & worked pretty well.

Limited wiring capability
on May 11, 2017
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
The reason I'm giving this two stars is because we never had the chance to use it. The wiring capabilities are limited and we couldn't use it in any of our switches. The concept is great & installation was easy & so was connecting to the app but that's where it ends, you can't use it on switches with ceiling fans, 3 way switches which means if you can turn the light on from more than one switch, and the cover is snap on & is so big that you can't use it if you have double or triple switches, so I was a bit disappointed since our switches are all of the above.

1 out of 5Looks impressive but that's about it

This router is huge, almost too big , it looks impressive with all the antennas & lights but so far I'm not impressed at all. It was very hard to setup, I had to call support & there is no DSL port on the back so I had to keep my old modem/router connected to it which defeats its purpose. There are 2 separate wifi bands to connect to which is nice but I haven't seen any improvement in the speed or connectivity than my small router. Plus it runs very hot! I'll give it a few more days before I disconnect it & go back to my small router.

Still not imoressed
June 28, 2016
I am commenting under my regular Best Buy name since I'm unable to get in under the original comment name . This is in reply to the 2 comments I received. I only had a day to try the router out when I had to post a review since then I can still say I'm not impressed , we run a lot of devices on wifi & I still notice no difference. I realize it's not a modem & as stated in my earlier review I said I had a modem & was hoping that I would no longer need it with a device of this size. I still cannot connect to the app, my router password will not work on the app but works on everything else . This was hard to set up I spent 25 min. on the phone with a tech , I can set pretty much every device up but this was impossible. This is a very expensive router with not much to offer so I still stand by my one star rating.
