Great Sound From Such A Little Speaker.
on April 20, 2017

AND....It's really waterproof and floats.
(Its rated for 1 meter submersion for 30 minutes, so a float in the pool, in the shower or a rainshower will be no issue at all)
Very portable and perfect for an introductory level speaker.
Easy to take along with you wherever you go.
It has rich clear sound that will surprise you and you control with the music app you already have on your phone, so this speaker needs no app of its own.
The battery life is 10 hours and will fully charge from dead in around 5 hours.
It operates pretty much like every other speaker you have had and pairs very easily.
On off and pairing buttons on the top as well as the volume + and - on the side of the speaker. The "em" on the top of the speaker is also the pause and play button.
The bluetooth has about a 100' range.
Not really any instructions included but you can find instructions in the FAQ section for the speaker at the companies website.
In the BOX:
Speaker.
USB cord............No wall plug is included but you probably have plenty already and you can always plug it up to the USB on your PC or laptop.
(You need to open up the bottom of the box just under where the speaker was setting, to find another small box with the charge cord in it. It would be very easy to overlook)

Best Vac Of Any Sort I Have Ever Had Or Used.!
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
All they hype about a Dyson being an awesome vac, is not hype,
IT IS FACT.
We have all hardwood floors and like to keep them very clean as often as possible. Several vacs over the years have done what we considered an OK job, but the performance of them was actually rather lacking when compared to this Dyson Animal.
Keeping our floors as clean as we desire is a constant as we are cat owners, and especially this time of the year, its shed city leaving us with black cat hair tumble weeds to deal with.
But they and the day to day dust and grime (we live near railroad tracks that haul coal from the mines to the power plant) is no problem for this machine.
The ball makes maneuverability a breeze, but we are sure to wipe it down after each use to prevent any buildup on it to prevent it from becoming abrasive from microscopic particles.
The one handed emptying of the cyclonic collection bin as well as a lifetime washable filter are great features.
No bags or filters to buy, ever.
It comes with most of the usual tools you would expect to find on an upright vac.
The thickness and type of plastic used is impressive and has a very nice long heavy duty two prong cord.
The pull out hose and wand are onboard and ready to use and easy to replace without even breaking stride from your cleaning routine.
The motor is very strong delivering great suction and pickup even on our hardwood floors and has the average upright vac noise level
It seems to be a high quality machine in every aspect and has a 5 year warranty.
We are sold on Dyson now and when a replacement is needed, another Dyson product will be in top contention !

Exactly What We Were Looking For.
on December 21, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
These super easy to setup and use are just what we were looking for.
NO CORDS.
Put them where you want inside or out.
Since they are battery operated which is easily recharged at the included base station they can be located exactly where you want them located without consideration of where a power outlet exists or needs to be added.
Battery life will be dependent on temperature, connectivity and motion in front of the camera.
Ive had one outside thru temps of 18° F to 70° F (all in one week),
rain, snow and frost and it functioned as it should and still is on the initial charge of the battery.
I have the other inside (at least for now, I can move both at will because of the no wire feature) and it also functions perfectly.
Clean crisp images in normal indoor lighting, out in the sun and the night vision which is good up to around 25' are easy to see and understand on the app on my phone or the arlo netgear website.
Im very glad to have these cameras and cant wait to really familiarize myself with all the features and use them more efficiently.

A Good Photo Editing Software
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
While the word PhotoShoped is used for an altered digital image,
I dont really find this to be any better or worse than my Corel Paint Shop Pro.
I think either would be a great choice for most users and would buy the one that I could get the best deal on at the time.
Installation was smooth and glitch free with the Adobe product.
The software is available to download if you dont have a DVD drive on your computer as some new ones dont have.
Then you can put in the product code from the CD or just buy it Direct as a download from Adobe.
RAW file format is easily handled as well as JPG and the other standard image file formats.

Exactly What We Needed

from Saint Albans WV
We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.
It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room.
If your looking for a theater surround sound, look further.
But if your looking for a very high quality compact soundbar with excellent sound at a very reasonable price I highly recommend the Bose Solo 5.

Tri Band Router With Multiple Possibilities
on October 28, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
from Saint Albans WV
For the average casual WIFI user all you need to know is this is a really fast strong router that will provide the same strength strong signal to multiple devices at the same time and its not that difficult to set up.
I wont go into listing all of its features, speeds, etc. that you can read in the product description, but I will mention a few key features:
Performance is optimized by what is called BeamForming Technology.
You can monitor and control your network from you cell or any remote computer.
No hack needed to use open source configurations for advanced users.
It has a 1.8 GHZ DUAL-CORE CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
All other features as well as the ones I listed are in the product description.
It all boils down to:
"This is a great router for multiple simultaneous users with enough capability for gaming, watching online movies and cruising the internet if you have an adequate high speed internet service" (I would recommend 100mbps or better for you internet service)

Best neckband type headphones Ive had.
on October 4, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
These are not named correctly in Best Buy Product Description. They actually are Bose QuietControl 30,not QuietComfort 30.
They have superior sound as all Bose products do, are very comfortable to wear and use and have an ambient noise reduction system.
The other sounds are greatly reduced but not to the extent of my over ear Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones. (they simply cant be as good because of the ear itself resonating surrounding sounds, but are much quieter than similar yet lesser headphones without the suppression feature).
They have a very nice sturdy circular case and a supplied USB charge cord.
The sound qualityis fantastic is truly an astounding audio experience that really does justify the price tag.

Good little general use laptop
on October 3, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
This is a very nice little laptop for general use.
It's in no way a gaming computer but it also is not anywhere near the price of a gaming computer.
But for word processing, email, internet cruising, social networks etc it does great.

The 6th gen dual core i5 processor also has no problem handling a photo editing program such a Corel PaintShop Pro.
It has a dual band wifi card in it so you can see and connect to a 5gh band when available.
The display is sharp and clear with a 1080 resolution.
The 1TB Hard Drive's speed has been more than adequate for anything I have used it for.

I love the backlit keyboard on the laptop, I've had that feature before and I wont have a laptop without it.
It had a touch screen and can do the 360° fold and be put into tablet mode and used as a tablet if desired.
Its thin and light making it a great travel computer.
I do have a few dislikes that may or may no be important to you.
The sound quality of the built in speakers is lacking (but it provides a great sounding clear signal via bluetooth to my headphones)

There is no DVD/CD drive
There is no battery door you can just open to remove the battery.
You would need to take the back off by removing several screws if you wanted for instance to remove the battery to reset the computer.

Tri Band with an extender
on September 22, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
The sleek design of this Orbi and Satellite network extender will blend into any room in the house while it provides ultimate networking power for all your wireless devices through your entire house.
It easily handles our home automation devices for the garage doors and light modules, a wireless printer,NEST thermostat, a few wireless security cameras a couple of ipads, iphones and two laptops without causing a single hiccup or buffering issue for the internet radio or the Fire Stick.
Of course it does not boost the actual internet speed, it only transmits that signal wirelessly.
We have a 100mbs service and this transmits the signal to our wireless devices as fast as to the one wired computer.
Setup really is as easy as they claim. In 15 minutes or less you should be online, but stll may need to add devices to the network depending on the previous setup
(Image attached shows our wireless speeds from our 100mbs service)

Great hair and Debris Grabber
on August 24, 2016
Posted by: PapawJeff
All of our floors are either hardwood or linoleum.
We have an exotic shorthair cat that sheds a lot leaving balls of fur around everywhere.
This does a much better than average job on picking them up along with dust, dirt and the occasional stray dry cat food.
The brush on the roller does not pack up with hair very much as other have before.
The upholstery attachment is really a dream on the cat hair on the couches and chairs as well as for the dust on the drapes.
It has a battery powered LED lighted crevasse tool that gives a good view while in use.
The dust bin is easy to remove , clean and empty.
Its super easy to maneuver around since it swivels.
Assembly was straightforward, toolless and super easy.
It has a 5 year warranty and its name describes it perfectly, Pet Hair Eraser.

Sound was cutting out, but found the problem
November 6, 2016
Sound would frequently cut out completely for a second or two. I mean 20 time or so in a one hour show.
The issue was an audio output setting on my Vizio TV.
It had been set to bitstream.
I did a little online research and switched that output to PCM and the issue is history.
No more cutting out.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

I have never had a repeater/expander work as well as this one.
It sets up a 5ghz band dedicated to communication with your current router and then sends out its own 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz band of its own.
Its three antennas and 12 repeaters ensure its putting out an equally as good signal as the router is. It looks like an antenna router itself and expands the coverage of your wifi to a potential 12,000 foot area that for most will include at least the immediate area outside. (Yard, porches and driveway).
Of course exact coverage limits will be more restricted by obstructions than this repeater or your router.

And Setup Was Super Easy And Quick. :)
May 6, 2017
I did the setup from my iPhone following the instructions provided and the on screen prompts.
From the time I went to the link in the instructions with my iphone until I had the repeater online and broadcasting was only 5 minutes or so.
Never have I been able to put anything on a wifi network and have it up and running so quickly and easily.

From the quality machined metal parts to the premium cowhide headband and lambskin ear pieces to the cloth covered cords and canvas cases, the look and feel of quality is in every component.
There is also a round leather covered box to keep the cables in if you desire.
Even the box they come in is classy and very durable.
As for the sound, Everything from Classical Symphony to AC/DC with a stop in the country genre is what I used to put these thru the paces and they didn't fail me anywhere.
Every note in every range of all the music was crisp and clear as well as excellent quality on all vocalization.
No disruption or breakup of the bluetooth signal even when I walked into two adjacent rooms and the signal had to go through two walls, the sounds remained impeckable.
I have claimed these at my house for me at our house and I'll be very selective of letting anyone who is not old enough to appreciate such a fine article near them.
We also have a pair of Bose Noise Canceling Headphones and in the respect of noise cancellation, the Master and Dynamic set equal or exceed the Bose.
These are a pricy selection, but it will be money well spent if you appreciate music and want to own a set of headphones you will be proud to own and show off.

My Error, These Are Not Noise Cancelling
May 22, 2017
I should have said "While these are not noise cancelling, they are equal to my Bose Noise Cancelling headphones in sound isolation."
Please pardon the error in my review. ;)

It had me at Pulled Pork :)
I did a 2.5 pound pork roast and followed the recipe for root beer pulled pork for an electric pressure/multi cooker and it turned out great, and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.
We did add a little bottled BBQ sauce to the sandwiches as we made them to get them to that just the way we like em point ;)
The meat was fully cooked, tender and separated easily with two dinner forks.
Clean up was super easy as it was all done in the stainless steel inner pot.
We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

PapawJeff's Questions

Say goodbye to cords and cables with these Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones. Bluetooth technology seamlessly connects to your smartphone, tablet or PC, letting you stream music or take phone calls with the built-in microphone. These water-resistant Skullcandy Sesh true wireless headphones come with a charging case, providing up to an extra 7 hours of listening time.
What is the maximum distance that the blue tooth works before it disconnects from your phone??
These have Bluetooth 5.0.
With Bluetooth 5.0, devices can use data transfer speeds of up to 2 Mbps, which is double what Bluetooth 4.2 supports.
Devices can also communicate over distances of up to 800 feet (or 240 meters), which is four times the 200 feet (or 60 meters) allowed by Bluetooth 4.2.
However, walls and other obstacles will weaken the signal, as they do with Wi-Fi.
So a number of factors come into play as to how far and how fast they work, but I roam freely in my three bedroom house with no issues so far when paired with my iPhone X.

will these headphones hook up to smart trv for use with tv
If your TV supports Bluetooth connections or you chose to go wired and the TV has a 3.5 audio jack.
Consult your owners manual to be sure of this.
I hook up thru Bluetooth to the Bose soundbar we use for the TV

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don’t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep — and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they’re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.
How will these work against Smoke Detectors etc in case of emergencies?
You are in control of the sound level these produce through the app on your smartphone.
I have mine set to a lower level that masks the disturbing noises yet I could her a smoke alarm or intrusion alarm, by phone ring or even my wife speaking to me if she speaks up just a bit.
But if you set them at a high level your not going to hear much of anything at all, and that is not safe IMHO and rather unnerving.
The lower levels are fantastic

How the volume and changing songs works

Sleep sounds provided is your only choice for listening to, no music, audio books, etc. Only sound and white noise.
