The Peace By Hampton app lets you control, dim, create scenes and automations from anywhere. Use vacation mode for security when you’re away. You can even use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistants to control the lights with your voice.

These are the coolest bulbs I have ever seen, I sat playing with all the colors for quite awhile. They are LED which is great & all controls are done through the app which was super easy to set up. You can schedule a timer from the app for turning on & off, I did & it worked great, nice for vacation that you can control from anywhere. I tried connecting with Alexa but didn’t have any luck there. These bulbs are equal to a 60 watt bulb & in the white mode range from warm white to cool daylight. The colors go from pink, orange, green, yellow, blue & every color in between, 16 million colors, you can change it with the season or mood or color changing if you prefer. There are also settings for different scenes like night, reading, working & more where it gets brighter or dimmer. The light can be turned on & off by the power switch on the app it just has to remain switched on all the time. I found the cool daylight to be quite bright but each hue is dimmable & can go from bright to dim quickly. I really like that feature because bright light gives me a headache & this eliminates having to buy multiple bulbs to find the perfect one. They’re a bit expensive but totally worth it!

These sound great but I guess I was expecting just a little better sound from Sennheiser,. We have mics & a wireless guitar system which sound awesome so I thought these would too. While they sound great, at first I thought they were tinny sounding, after downloading the app I was able to adjust them & add bass which improved the sound a lot. They come in a compact charging/travel case & magnetically attach, the case has a power button on it to stop the charging while not in use, I have small ears & they fit perfectly others I have tried were too big or bulky. Comfortable to wear. Range was pretty good, I went outside & walked almost to the edge of our 1/2 acre property & stayed connected. The volume, fast, forward, call buttons are easy to reach & you just tap them to change settings., I just have to remember how many taps for each. Pairing was instant & the app is simple but easy to use. I would recommend them but maybe wait for a sale.

Charge two Qi-enabled smartphones simultaneously with this black Belkin BOOST CHARGE dual wireless charging pad. Up to 10W of output charges the device rapidly, while case compatibility allows for uninterrupted use. This Belkin BOOST CHARGE dual wireless charging pad has a nonslip surface to help keep your devices completely secure.

We have an older version of a Belkin charging pad which is for one phone this is a great idea because you can charge 2 phones at one time & we always seem to need to charge them at the same time. The design has improved, it’s a lot thinner than our model & it doesn’t take up much space but it still takes a really long time to charge a phone, I went from 84% to 100% in about an hour and a half. I was hoping it’d charge faster but not so. There’s not a whole lot to say about a charging pad but it’s a great idea, charges iPhone or Android just make sure you’re not in a hurry for your phone.

This is a great addition to have for your electronics , wish I would’ve had it 2 weeks ago when we lost power for 18 hrs.! This review is based on a power outage simulation. When I unplugged it the battery kicked in right away, I was able to use an iPad, WiFi, Arlo cameras, router towers & Nest smoke alarms. I had power to all of them for 3 hours. I didn’t use the computer & I could charge my phone with the USB port. My landline phone was plugged in too but it didn’t work with this. It’s a bit taller & wider than a normal power strip but it doesn’t take up much room on the floor. I expected it to run a bit hot but it only gets warm when the battery takes over, stays cool otherwise. There are 2 outlets for just surge protection & 5 outlets for battery & surge with room for transformer plugs. There are three sensitivity settings to adjust for fluctuations in voltage, I only used the lowest. I think this is a great idea because you can at least use or charge your devices during a storm or outage. The only thing I wish it had was more USB ports for charging, only one Is a bit tough.

I thought the concept of this was great, that I’d be able to transfer pictures from one device to another flawlessly & it seemed to have a a lot of features, fast scrolling, ergonomic design. Well I was wrong, my hands are small & this is a large, strangely shaped mouse. I can only use it for about 5 minutes & my wrist hurts terribly, the angle bends my wrist with this mouse instead of It being flat. The battery is suppose to charge quickly but I could never use it long enough to find out. It is Space Gray in color which matches my iPad but the features are limited that it can do with the iPad, I couldn’t find an app to download to use any features. Also with the iPad you need to have a keyboard otherwise you can’t type while you’re using the mouse. It paired quickly with the iPad and my MacBook Air. My Mac desktop was a different story, it would pair then lose the connection & after trying 6 times to get it connected I finally gave up, so I could never try the flow feature to transfer images from one computer to the other . All my devices have the latest software so this shouldn’t have happened. The scrolling was not fast, it seemed to get hung up a lot & wasn’t near as fast as described. The side to side buttons did little to nothing. Software has to be downloaded to use the features & program the mouse. You can program each device & switch between them provided it connects with all of them. Way overpriced mouse, I’ll stick with my Logi pebble , way better mouse at a much lower price.

I wanted this to replace my 10 year old Classic Plus. Nothing has changed , the same accessories came with it like the dough hook, whip, beater & stainless steel bowl. Other attachments are available but you have to buy them separately. Also the same size , 4.5 quart with 10 speeds. It is still as heavy as it always was. No cookbook was included like my last mixer. For me the quality seems to have gone downhill, this made a high pitch whistle sound the whole time I used it. I made 2 different batters for cupcakes, one I used the whip attachment for cream cheese filling & the other batter was the chocolate mixture which I used the beater. I felt like the ingredients didn’t blend well like they used to & I had to mix them for a longer time. Seemed like it was slower & struggled with batter that wasn’t even thick. The spring is missing from the mixer where you attach the beater which makes for easier removal but just seems cheaper. Honestly, I like my old model better.

There isn’t much you can’t do with this speaker. We have a band & my husband was excited to try this for his guitars & bass. First I’ll start by saying it’s portable, lightweight, the battery lasts a long time & it sounds great. Whether you just play music on an iPod through it or use it for DJ or playing out, it doesn’t disappoint.
To get the best features you must download the app, there you can control each instrument individually & from the app you can control equalizer, adjust effects, tone, parameters, volume, also use reverb, chorus & delay. The app for iPad loaded faster than iPhone. Controls on the speaker are bass, treble, gain & reverb. but there aren’t as many and you can’t control individually. Ducking, Phantom power for condenser mics & lexicon effects are also features. The lexicon effects are good & not overpowering. You need the app for effects.
My husband plugged in his guitar, bass, microphone & also used iRig so he could use the garage band app, worked & sounded great. Features Bluetooth & 4 channels to plug into, 2 mics & guitar can plug in, there is a headphone jack & you can link 2 speakers together. He eventually wants to try this with an acoustic/electric guitar.
There is a slot on the top to hold phone, iPad or iPod but that was his only gripe, the slot is small so it doesn’t hold an iPad with a case. Other than that small issue he absolutely loves it, it’s like a compact mixing board & speaker all in one & is great whether you play out or are a garage band or just want to listen to music. Highly recommend!

The Dyson Corrale straightener is the only straightener with copper flexing plates that shape around your hair, gathering it neatly together on each pass. This extra control means you can achieve the same style but with less heat – and therefore half the damage¹. It also means enhanced styling, for reduced frizz and fewer flyaways². The plates are made of manganese copper, selected for its flexibility, strength and thermal conduction. The Dyson Corrale straightener can be used corded, or cord-free to provide extra versatility and freedom while styling.¹Thermal damage measured by hair strength, when creating an equivalent hair style. Tested on Corrale with flexing plates vs Corrale with solid plates ²Direct image analysis vs untreated hair.³Exact run time may vary based on hair type and styling technique.

I wish I could give this 4 1/2 stars because I really like it but it has a few issues. First the good, I am a hairstylist & love to try new tools, I was excited to try this & I also have natural curly hair which in humidity or rain frizzes. When I used this it was on a rainy day & I must say it kept my hair straight , it does an awesome job at straightening because it doesn’t look dry afterward, with three heat settings , I found the middle one, 365 degrees, to be the best for me. It has an led display & beeps when ready, also cools down when done. Initial charge is pretty quick, less than an hour & I used it maybe 5-10 minutes a day & the charge held for a few days. If you use it corded the charge lasts longer but I prefer cordless. It comes with a nice weighted stand & a heat resistant bag which also looks good. Love the colors too. There is a flight tag which disables the battery so you can pack it in your carry on. The plates are copper alloy & I use product on my hair so far they’ve kept clean.
Now for the bad, this iron is very heavy & the plates are a bit large so if you’re doing a long section of hair it’s ok but my hair is layered & it was a bit of a challenge. Also I tried to use it to curl my hair & if you have any shorter layers forget it, you’ll only get a bend, no curl. Finally, I tried to use it corded & because the cord attaches magnetically it kept disconnecting, it was so frustrating that I just used it cordless. I would recommend this but you can get an iron for way less money & it will do just as well.

I wish I would’ve had a longer time to review this but I had to do it within 7 days so I would’ve liked to do it when the temperature outside is 90 not 54. That being said I was happy to have this because our old air conditioner is about 20 years old. This one is smaller but more powerful & comes with all the seals & gaskets for a tight fit , it fits our double hung window nicely & it looks good. My husband had to assemble the side curtain frame but he installed it quickly. The display is led & can be on steady or you can turn it off. The remote is thin & lightweight also has Braille on it. This has WiFi which is pretty cool for an A/C unit. App setup was super easy & I was able to turn it on from my backyard which is a distance from the house. As far as cooling, it goes down to 64 degrees which is what I had it set at, seemed to cool quickly but again hard to tell when the room is already that temperature. It has eco mode which turns the unit off when it reaches desired temperature & then turns on again when it warms up, I was able to test that feature & I liked it. There are 4 speeds & 3 modes, one being fan only.
The reason for 4 stars is that even on low I found it to be a bit loud, & my biggest peeve is that the cord is never long enough. My outlet is not near a window so I always need an appliance extension cord, I was hoping with this newer model they would’ve made it longer,. The cord does have its own breaker though. I can’t wait to see how cool this makes our bedroom in the Summer heat & humidity.

Dyson's intelligent and powerful cordless vacuum with twice the suction of any cord-free vacuum.*
Posted by: 30stmrox
from Philadelphia, PA
What’s great about this is it’s a stick vacuum so it stores easily but it’s quite powerful. As an owner of an older model Dyson vacuum, I like, with this model, that I can go from my area rugs to my hardwood & tile floors without worrying about scratching the floor. I have a thick area rug in my living room & when it senses that it automatically increases the power, when I move to the floor it automatically decreases. Usually I had to flip a switch, when I remembered. I thought my rug was clean but it cleaned even deeper & pulled out more dirt. I have vinyl flooring in my kitchen & it picked up everything there too. I used it on my tile bathroom floor & very little specks of dirt & hair were picked up. It cleaned everything very well & there’s always hair on our bathroom floor! I was quite impressed. The canister is larger too so it holds more before you need to empty it. This snapped together easily in 3 pieces & comes apart just as easy for adding included attachments or using as a hand held. Attachments & power cord are universal, I used my old cord for charging. I haven’t used it long enough to comment on how long charge lasts but it depends on which mode you use. Boost is for heavy duty pickup & has least use time. Eco has the most but doesn’t automatically switch when it senses the floor vs rug. Auto is what I prefer since it’s the speed that does sense the change. Charging time took a few hours right out of the box. I like that the charge modes are lit up & displayed on the top of the canister. I find this vacuum a bit top heavy but it’s still lightweight, I’m a small person though. Aside from the weight issue I can’t find anything else wrong with it, I love it & recommend it!

Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.
Overall

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.
