Does what it says it does

Not much to this, it's a bracket so you can stack your washer and dryer. Installation was easy and with a little help from a friend, our dryer was lifted on top with no issues. If we ever unstack our set, there should be no scratches because everything is resting on top of the bracket instead of the washer.

Bring your real hands into virtual environments with this pair of controllers for Oculus Rift. Natural gestures and finger movements create a sense of true hand presence for more realistic, memorable, and tactile VR. Constellation tracking lets you manipulate objects in your virtual environment with extraordinary precision. This is an Oculus Rift accessory only. Rift headset sold separately.

Very comfortable controls

The touch really completes the Rift. Using it with just an xbox controller works, but does not really immerse you in the game like VR should. The first time you play Robo Recall (free with the Touch controllers) you will understand the possibilities and excitement surrounding VR.
Be careful of ceiling fans though, I've smacked my knuckles a few times reaching out for something in the VR world and had my ceiling fan remind me that I'm not actually there.

Experience the lifelike thrill of virtual reality with the Oculus Rift. The remote, OLED display and IR LED sensor help you navigate through virtual worlds, while rotational and positional tracking let you play exclusive games like Lucky's Tale. The clear, high resolution on the Oculus Rift takes you even closer to reality.

Great VR at it's current price
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: MrStang
from Mililani, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned both a HTC Vive and Oculus rift. In my opinion, the Vive is slightly more comfortably and definitely fits glasses better. The Rift is slightly less comfortable but weighs less and has the added convenience of built in earphones (less cables everywhere than the Vive). The touch controllers are slightly more comfortable than the Vive's. However the vive has a more versatile set up since the touchpads can act as buttons or whatever the software makes them while the Rift will always have control sticks and buttons.
Ultimately, at the current price point it is hard for me to recommend the Vive over the Rift. Feature-wise, they are very equal with each doing some things better than the other. I don't have enough space for room scale VR so that also favors the Rift.

Great fridge for space conscious kitchens
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: MrStang

Verified Purchase:Yes
We have a small kitchen but still wanted to have a nice, stainless fridge. Doing research, we only found 3 models, the Whirlpool, an LG, and a Samsung. Of those three, the whirlpool is the only one with a water dispenser in the door. It is great having cold, filtered water ready at any time and also knowing your ice cubes are made from filtered water so they don't add funny flavors to your drinks.
We are very happy with the fridge overall and would recommend it over the LG and Samsung due to parts availability and better features.

Nice features

My wife and I really like this scale. Having our information automatically uploaded into the Garmin Connect system is a nice feature to help with our goals. It takes the tediousness of data entry out of the equation for your app of choice (assuming it can sync with Garmin's service).
I use different fitness gear and apps that synchronize with Garmin connect. Having my weight updated daily allows them to give more accurate calorie burn rates.
It is a little expensive for what it does, but if you are bought-in to Garmin's suite of watches, apps, fitness gear, etc... then I think it is worth it so it get my conditional recommendation. As a standalone scale, I would probably go for something a little cheaper. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because of the price of it, I feel like it should be more in the $90-120 range compared to other smart scales.

Great G-sync monitor for the price
on March 22, 2017
Posted by: MrStang
from Olympia, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This monitor really hits a sweet spot for features and price. Is it the greatest G-sync monitor out there? Nope, but it doesn't cost $700 or more. The difference between my old 60hz monitor and this at 144hz G-sync is amazing for fast paced games like Rocket League and Battlefield.
For general word processing and spreadsheets, the 27 inches of screen real estate is great because you can easily put two full size documents side by side on your screen.
It is a TN panel so the colors are not perfect but it does not affect me that much. I do some minor family/vacation photo-editing but nothing on a semi-pro or professional level. If you are a pro photo/video person, you probably wouldn't be looking at this monitor anyways.
I have had no quality control issues with my monitor. If you read reviews on this one, there are mentions of a few issues but I would not let that keep me from buying this monitor and trying it out at least.

I bought these for an upcoming snorkeling vacation. The lens of my gopro stayed fog free the entire time. They are extremely easy to use and work as they are supposed to. I only took away one star because they are a little overpriced for my opinion.

Make any audio system a "smart" system
on July 18, 2016
Posted by: MrStang
from Olympia, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The chromecast audio is great because you can use multiple chromecasts together to get multi-room audio. These work with anything that has an audio in port and are far cheaper than buying multiple Sonos or Bose wireless systems to get the same effect. The major streaming services support chromecast as well so you will not be without your favorite music.
In a nutshell, a simple and effective way to get multi-room audio using any speaker system you want.

This greatly helps my wife's phone make it through a full day. She is a dog sitter so she is constantly texting and sending pictures and videos to her clients. This quickly charges her phone up and gets her through the day.

Keep mobile devices charged and ready to go with this Belkin USB car charger. The USB-C connector plugs directly into your device for rapid charging, and a built-in USB port lets you plug your own charging cable in to accommodate all types of devices. This Belkin USB car charger has a light that stays on while charging.
 

Will this charge a Sony MP3 players and iPhones? If not then want type of car charger will?

The built in cable is USB C so unless your MP3 player uses that, you will have to use your own cable and plug it in to the USB port. Same goes for your iPhone - you will need to use your own cable plugged in to the USB port rather than the built-in cable of the charger.

Samsung SmartThings Home Monitoring Kit: Make sure your home stays safe when you're away with this monitoring kit, which comes with SmartThings Hub, a motion sensor, 2 multipurpose sensors and a smart outlet. Just pair the hub with your Samsung SmartCam HD Pro camera (sold separately) to enjoy remote monitoring on your Apple® iOS, Android or Windows device.
 

Does the hub chrip or make a noise when a door is opened?

The hub itself does not have a built in speaker or way to make sound. However, there are compatible sirens with or without lights that work with it. It can also use some networked speakers such as Sonos to play sounds through. If you happen to have an Amazon Echo or Google Home those can play smartthings sounds as well.

Then just tap the Cast button from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet or computer to cast songs, radio stations and podcasts to your speaker.
 

what will this do that my smart phone doesn't already do?

When you bluetooth a smartphone to a speaker, you still get all the audio notifications such as texts and alerts. Chromecast filters the sound going through it to only play the music or streaming service you want. Also, multiple chromecasts can give you multi-room audio whereas your phone can only bluetooth to one system at a time.

Navigate content displayed on your Microsoft Surface tablet with ease using this Microsoft Type Cover 2 N7W-00003 keyboard, which features a full row of function keys, Windows shortcut keys and media controls for flexible options.
 

is this keyboard compatible with the galaxy note 2014?

Possibly the only way to make it compatible would be to get the bluetooth adapter that Microsoft sells (think it's discontinued). Otherwise there is no way for this to get power, let alone communicate with another tablet that is not a surface.
