Great economy screen cover

For the price can't go wrong. The glass and HD versions are obviously nicer but if you want good basic screen protection on the cheap look no further.

Transfer files between your iPad, iPhone and computer without the hassle of email or cloud options by using the SanDisk iXpand flash drive. Like standard flash drives, it has a USB connection for your computer. The SanDisk iXpand flash drive also has a lightning connection for iOS devices so moving files between phones, tablets and computers is easy.

Good for photo storage or data transfer
on March 30, 2017
Posted by: padlz
Verified Purchase:Yes
What it can do: This item does the job for photo storage when your iPad or iPhone's storage fills up. It is also excellent for transferring photos/files from your iDevice to a computer.
What it can't do: You cannot download your iTunes movie purchases to this device and watch them. You still need internal storage available to download your iTunes movies.
What could be better: The Sandisk app generally works okay, but is sometimes clunky. It sometimes takes multiple tries to move photos/files from your iDevice to the jump drive.
Bottom line: It works for photo/document backup or transfer, and expands your iDevice's storage capacity, but it doesn't work "seamlessly" for all uses like your device's internal storage.

Great fun for the kids

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Fuji Instax camera brings back memories from my childhood of the old Polaroid instant cameras we played with back in the day. Instax pics are smaller and quality a touch better, but the kids get the same enjoyment from this as we did so long ago. It is very easy to use, comes in a variety of colors that are sure to please and unlike the Polaroid cameras of old, there are some picture settings that can be played with. Just remember, kids can take a lot of pics so be sure to budget for the instant film that this requires.

Good solid vacuum
on September 12, 2016
Posted by: padlz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this as a replacement for a mid-high level Electrolux Ergorapido (battery wouldn't hold charge after 5 years). The Electrolux had adequate suction, looked good, and similar 2 in 1 function (stick or handheld vac). The Hoover performs similarly to our old Electrolux, with some pros and cons of each below:
Hoover Pros - bigger dust cup, can vacuum with the brush rollers on (carpet) or off (hardwoods, etc.) which means not having to remove dog hair out of the brush as frequently, good suction (maybe a little better than the Electro), replaceable battery, very maneuverable cleaning head.
Electrox Pros - better looking, better construction (feels more solid than the hoover)
Reviews that criticize the Hoover's design for getting clogged have a little merit as pet hair does quickly stick to the filter when using. However, suction is still fine for a quick job despite this. You will definitely want to empty the cup after each use if you have a long haired pet like I do, but that goes for the Electrolux as well. There are certainly parts of the Hoover that feel cheaply made and I'm more worried about long term durability than I was with the Electrolux. Time will tell on that.

Great for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought these for my kid before a transatlantic flight. For the price they are excellent. Sound is quite good and noise cancelling for static noise like airplane engines etc is effective. Would buy again for sure. One minor quibble is that they seem to fit a narrower head better than a fuller sized head. This was perfect in our case but if you have a large noggin you might want to give them a test in store before purchase to make sure they're comfortable for you.

Perfect for the price point

This is a pretty no frills portable battery for charging smartphones and other devices that use a USB based power cable. Some reviews say this doesn't work with iPhones, but that's not true. It just doesn't come with a lightning cable so you have to use your own. For the price (especially on sale), it definitely gets the job done. It's light, reasonable small and has ample capacity to charge most smartphones 2+ times. It won't charge an iPad from completely empty, but it'll get your 2/3 the way there.

Inconspicuous step tracker
on June 15, 2016
Posted by: padlz
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a gift for my wife. While not as fancy and visible as some of the other fitbit step tracking products, that may actually be a plus for some users. My wife didn't want a wrist based tracker that may or may not go with the clothing she chose to wear on any given day. The "one" clips onto to your underwear or pants/shorts/skirt waist and does everything it's supposed to. The current version also syncs wirelessly with your smartphone. This is the "one" if you want a tracker that you can hide away from view.

Not great, but worth the price
on November 6, 2015
Posted by: padlz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Will this sound bar provide an upgrade to your TV's sound? Most likely. It actually sounds pretty decent. However, there is very little base output from this bar (although there is an output for a subwoofer if you have one laying around). Don't expect movies to be totally immersive right out of the box. This replaced a Polk Audio soundbar 2000 (that decided to give up the ghost) which is comparable in size (albeit a bit more expensive), but provided surprising punch relative to its size. On the other hand, this insignia soundbar provides sound quality on par with what you'd expect based on its size. Still, for the price paid, I feel like it is a good value.

You pretty much know what you're getting here. $25 in the iTunes store. If the person you are buying for has iDevices (iPhone or iPad), it's pretty certain they will be happy to receive this.

Serviceable non-smart phone
on August 10, 2015
Posted by: padlz
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a basic flip phone that works for calls and texts. There is nothing fancy about this phone. The BB price was right and overall I'm satisfied with it for how we use it. There were cheap prepaid android smartphones also available for similar price or a little bit more, but I chose this one because the line we use this phone with is one is for very occasional calling, and we had no need for smartphone features on this line. If you just want a simple, cheap phone just to make calls with (and the occasional text), and you want a battery that will go a week or longer, this fits the bill. If you need any smart functionality or will be texting a lot look elsewhere.

Question

is this Soundbar good for a 55 inche HDTV
I would suggest thinking about it more in terms of whether this soundbar would be good for the size of the space where you are watching your 55" inch TV rather than whether it's good for that size TV. Hard to answer without knowing how big your room is, but I will say that this soundbar is not particularly loud, nor does it provide much base kick. If your TV is not in a large room and you connected a sub to this bar, it could very well suit your needs, but if your TV room is large I would probably go with something that has more power. Hope that helps.
