Never had a Roku/STB, so bought this one to see if my daily switch of sources could be better. And how they are !!
Setup is a breeze, interface is nice, it has many many apps (I use it mainly for Hulu and Netflix), including some with free content. It's super small and sits nice and comfortable over my hack - this little thing is a beauty.
I also downloaded the Smartphone (Android/iOS) App, so I can use my phone to type in when I need to search or something - it's super easy and helps a lot, as nobody got time for typing using the "up,up,left,left,enter,down,down,right" kind of thing you would do using the remote - i.e. "smartTvs" typing :P
No complains here Roku 3 is great! Recommended !!!

Had one before, went with one again, works great!

I've been using the Harmony 650 for years, and then I moved and needed a new one. No brainer went and got another, as it works beautifully.
The programmation is a bit of a hit and miss because you need to plug/unplug it in your computer to program/upload the activities/buttons setups into the remote - I'm using it to control an Yamaha receiver, an Insignia TV, and Roku, to switch between it all those plus XBox and computer inputs. But once you got it as you like it it's a breeze.
This one easily accepts rechargeable batteries, btw.
Highly recommended !!!

Amazing Speakers !! (even more for the price)
on April 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me say there are A LOT of options for floor speakers out there. Kiplish, Polk, Bose, Pioneer, Yamaha, and the list goes on.
After reading many Many MANY reviews, I was pending towards these Pioneers because (1) audio-experts were reviewing how detailed the sound from those is (despite not being that bassy), and (2) it's price is unbeatable among the other brands - many of the others cost over twice!!!
And so I went for it, and boy I am AMAZED by those babies. I hooked them on my Yamaha RX-V465 and they are impressive. Music and definition is excellent, from hard rock, punk rock, techno, all the way to classical, Piano and Cello. The mids and highs of those speakers are excellent, piano and classical listening is simply a great experience. Home theather usage is excellent too, and if you have a good source they do sound how real-life sounds should.
If you are a subwoofer junky (as I am) you will notice that it does lack bass as everybody says, but their speakers are small, so no surprise here as they are not designed to go low (from ear, I'd say they go down to 55hz well). But then a small equalization compensates it easily, and honestly you might not even need a subwoofer, as the sound is so well balanced. I've always been a subwoofer junky and I am having the best time with these for many months now without a subwoofer, so I strongly recommend those.
Aesthetically I was a little unsure if they were nice (the picture in the site is not great), but I was positively pleased when I unwrapped it: it's very elegant and nice looking. Connectors are of good quality too.
Kudos for Pioneer for designing and selling this awesome product with such a good price.
I was so pleased with these that I bought another pair a few months later, so now I have 4 :)

No complains so far, works great! Charges my old iPhone 4S, my Nexus 5, and my bulky Nexus 6. Not so fast charging for the Nexus 6 as the factory charger, but that's expected from a 1W charger. Definitively recommend it.

Excellent product, nice looking

Works perfectly, excellent battery life, range, and ergonomics. It looks great (got the black with gray stripes), very stylish and modern. At first the click was a little hard (more effort to click than I'm used to), but that can be broken into very easily. Definitively recommend it.

Great toaster, love it!

Using it for 2 months now every day, and I love my little Oster toaster!! It looks great (love the stainless steel finish, buttons are cool too) and it works perfectly well. Not a single issue, not a single problem until now. The price was great, and if it had a grill to put it on top so I could heat italian bread (I do it anyway without it), I'd give it 6 stars :)

Good microwave, but it's noisy
on November 11, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Been using it for 2 months now almost daily so I've had some good experiences with it:
Pros:
- It looks nice, modern, looks well in the kitchen counter top
- Cooks well: didn't disappoint once about heating
- Size is just enough, not too small, not too big for my 50 square feet kitchen - big plates will not spin inside though
- Didn't have issues with cleaning - though the front stainless steel (the other parts of it are black painted) is a finger print magnet, but that's how SS works

- Didn't have issues with cleaning - though the front stainless steel (the other parts of it are black painted) is a finger print magnet, but that's how SS works
Con:
- Loud: when it works it vibrates a lot and it's just loud. I found tightening one screw on the side helped, and even if you hold the side panel the noise goes down, but still is loud enough that when you hit "start" you want to walk away from it... this is something I couldn't get used to even after 2 months of use and it bothers me every time I turn it on, so for me this is a product flaw - others have reported this in the reviews as well.
- When you adjust the power level it actually modulates the heating ON/OFF, instead of trimming it down and keeping it on all the time - so 60% power will make it keep turning the heating ON/OFF so it's on 60% of the time and off 40% while it spins - something I find a little weird as my two previous microwaves were a lot smoother and didn't do this (to be honest this feels like a cheap engineering solution)

For a modern LG product I believe the high noise is an issue even though this microwave is not a top of the line, so I'd recommend people to buy other, more silent models.
