Convenient for two player use

It's always annoying when one joycon dies in the middle of a multi-player game, and the only way to charge it is to either attach it to the console or a grip which prevents you from being able to use each joycon independently. The battery pack allows you to keep playing and you can deal with charging it later.

These joy-cons are a fun color and they paired like a charm with my switch. Great that they effectively function as two controllers for most of the games I play.

Great router, setup a little confusing
on February 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the router for a little under a month and it has been operating fairly well. I get faster wifi speeds than I did with a Google Wifi router I had tried before, and that's great. It was a little confusing to set up at first because of how it referred to satellites and the main router (like it said router, when it meant satellite), and I was unclear if the satellite got set up correctly because I didn't have to scan the QR code on it and also because no light displays on the top when it's actually working. There are also occasionally a few more not-quite-dead spots than there were for Google Wifi, meaning the speeds dip down to <10 mbps even though I'm less than 50ft from the satellite (my connection is ~1 gbps). Right next to the router, I typically get consistent 250-300 mbps speeds which is around what I'd expect these days since I've yet to find a router or a phone/laptop capable of getting better wireless speeds. All-in-all, a good router. I did have to reset to factory settings once shortly after getting it because of intermittent outages, but since that reset, it's been working fine (outside that semi-dead zone issue mentioned earlier). My recommendation is Google Wifi if your internet speed is 200 mbps or less for reliability and ease-of-use/setup, and Orbi if you have faster internet speeds since it has a better infrastructure.

This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.

Reliable, easy to set up. Could offer higher speed
on January 16, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Google Wifi system was incredibly easy to set up and it worked like a charm in terms of providing a consistent connection and decent speed. The app makes it super easy to set up the main router and the two boosters by simply scanning the QR code on the bottom of each unit to set them up. The units themselves are a little larger than I was expecting, but overall very unassuming and can easily be hidden around the house. It's also very easy to check the health and status of each unit through the app. I ended up returning this router, however, mainly because I could never achieve a speed faster than ~250 mbps over wifi despite me having a gigabit connection. I tried on several devices which I know can support up to 850 mbps on other networks, but the Google Wifi never succeeded in getting me that rate (even when I did a network speed test through the Google Wifi app). It's a minor point, really, since 250 mbps is more than enough for most day-to-day internet usage, but on principle, I'd want my router to deliver me the internet speeds I'm paying for. If you have an internet connection that is 250 mbps or lower, than I would definitely recommend this router.

Professional and thorough workers

I'm very happy I chose to have Geek Squad install the TV. The agents that came to my house were incredibly courteous, professional, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was absolutely perfect when mounting and setting up my TV. They were very patient when I asked for help ensuring everything was level and centered and wouldn't stop until they were 100% sure I was satisfied (despite me not pushing it when it was close enough). Among the best customer service I have ever seen.

High quality picture, lots of features built in
on December 18, 2017
Posted by: dontlikeapple

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's great that this TV has Android TV integrated because pretty much everything I'd ever want on a TV is readily available without any extra gear needed (like Netflix, HBO, Amazon Video, WatchESPN, YoutubeTV, Hulu, etc.). All of those apps work seamlessly with the TV and the voice search built into the remote to open an app and search within an app works very well. Being able to cast your phone directly to the TV is a great feature as well. I dock one star because of two minor, but slightly annoying issues:
1) The TV isn't always responsive with the remote. I haven't figured out the cause yet, but sometimes I have to press the power button more than once to turn on or off the TV or it doesn't register when I click something the first time. Usually it never takes more than 2-3 tries when this does happen (roughly 15% of the time), but would make for a more polished product if this never occurred.
2) This product should work seamlessly with Google Home, but I have not been able to successfully turn on the TV and launch a video using Google Home. I have accounts linked with Google Home, but it tells me the feature is not yet supported. I imagine this will get fixed in firmware updates to come, but annoying that it doesn't presently work.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

Better speaker than I expected

Got one of these on sale during Black Friday to try out and was pleasantly surprised to see how loud the speaker can get. Wasn't expecting much, but this works as well as the regular Google Homes and probably can get up to 70% as loud for way cheaper than the base model.

This is a good upgrade on the standard Chromecast which is already a great product. Runs as smoothly as my Amazon Fire TV (installed in another room) and outputs fantastic HDR 4K quality content. Highly satisfied.

Great quality, relatively small subwoofer

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great small subwoofer I can use in a condo with someone living below me. Our walls are relatively thick, but some sound can make its way through so I was on the fence about getting a subwoofer. This one seems to be doing fine providing a little bit of bass without rattling the floors much and without disturbing my neighbors.

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.

High quality video

This camera is great and the video is great quality. It does occasionally miss automatically tagging when someone is at the door, but I have the nest aware subscription so I can always manually go through the recorded feed. The speaker and mic work decently well too.
