LG’s SJ7 Sound Bar Flex offers endless entertainment from a versatile dual-speaker design: The two main speakers can be placed in front of the TV, or to the left/right vertically or in front of and behind the listener for an even more cinematic experience. Both speakers are Bluetooth, and the right unit has a built-in battery, so it can work independently just about anywhere.

Very versatile and excellent sound
on August 8, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
What I absolutely like about these speakers is the flexibility. You may speakers and place them separately anywhere in the house to work independently. Within the same room, it is versatile that can be placed anywhere to a true surround sound experience. The speakers are true 4.1 surround sound with connections type or HDMI ARC, HDMI In, and optical input.
The subwoofers sound great and it makes the floor shake. This will make an action movie feel more enjoyable. Adjustment to the sounds can be made manually, the low, highs and bass.
The build quality is sturdy and not a cheap material. The casing has a slick black metal finish and with rubberized material on the buttons. What stands out of these speakers is its versatility; three options, 1) Portable, 2) Rear the second speaker, and 3) Sound bard combining the two speakers. The setup was simple and quick. Each component establishes a connection to the primary sound bar automatically. If it doesn't, then locate the pairing button. For the second speaker, it took me a while to find the pairing button (see image). The setup was in a medium size room and the sound was more than enough for a good surround sound.

Delicious, comfortable grilling experience
on July 25, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I enjoy grilled food but the smoke and preparation are very uncomfortable and sometimes the smoke makes me sick. This product is heaven sent because it solves my discomfort process of conventional grilling. I get a lot of headaches whenever I do an extreme heat activity and grilling is one of these activities with the smoke making it worse. My first cooking was Flap Meat Steak (Churrasco) with Squash Zucchini. Seasoned meat with Goya Sal Parrillera, ground pepper, and a bit of sour orange. Turned on the heating element and after 6 minutes, I place the meat on the grill. Recommended time was 8 min for each side. Since I like my meat well done, I left it for 11 minutes on each side. While that was cooking I placed a few ½ inch squash yellow/zucchini on the side. In less than 30 minutes the vegetables and the meat were all cooked. The vegetable was very juicy. Virtually no smoke and it was evenly well cooked. The family enjoyed the first indoor grilled meal. They loved it. It is simple to use, it only has three setting: off, warm and cook. Cleaning was very easy. The non-stick aluminum grid was like new. The grease on the bottom tray was not hard to remove. My wife loves the fact that now we can enjoy grilled food without me getting sick. She started a list of other meals we can prepare. Happy wife, happy life.

Love it, very versatile, easy to use and clean.
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Really love this air fryer. First time I ever cooked chicken with pineapple and the kids loved it. The recipe is found in the enclosed book. For this recipe, was simple to cook: Set the chicken with spices for 12 minutes, add pineapple with additional ingredients for 3 minutes, last ingredients for additional 3 minutes, and add cook beans or another vegetable as desired (not on recipe book). Serve with rice or other desired side. Very fast and simple to make a quick meal for 5-6 people. I got the bigger size model since I have a big family. The BEST PART that only a bit of oil was required for cooking. My kids and wife loved it. I also tried cooking a ricotta cake and it was simple to do; it tasted like a scone cookie. The included book comes with a few more recipes. You can find more recipes online and even YouTube. Cleaning is not hard to do with the machine; just remove the inner pot and wash with a soft sponge. Don’t use a harsh scrub, you will damage the non-stick coating of the pan. Two of the bottom feet has suctioning cups designed to prevent the machine moving when opening or closing the door. The noise level is moderate, NOT loud as a blender; this does not bother me because feel great I am cooking healthier meals with less oil. My family really loves this multi fryer/cooker because it actually makes meals for us. Most importantly, my wife loves it. Happy wife, happy life!

Like all the options
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Ninja Coffeemaker is perfect! My wife loves to drink coffee and she usually drinks two or more cups per day. She loves all the features and options that this machine provides. 1) Number one option is that she can make 1 cup for herself or a few if more people are drinking. When doing for one person there is the option of just using a cup or insulated container. This is great because you do not have to buy expensive pods like the Keurig coffee maker. 2) I have three kids love Ice Coffee so this machine does an excellent job to make sure the coffee does not come out watery. All they need is flavored syrup with non-dairy creamer. 3) Very important is the taste and my wife is a professional coffee drinker. She can tell when the coffee is not fresh when it is preheated in the microwave, and the flavor. I can’t taste the difference. She said the older coffee maker the coffee had burned flavor. This coffee tasted very good from the Ninja. And (0ther points) The water reservoir container is easy to remove, fill and insert into the machine. It is very easy to clean and with clear instruction label located behind the machine. It looks like it does a good job of cleaning itself. The process takes 60 minutes to complete. My wife loves this Ninja coffee maker. Happy Wife… Happy Life.

Great Wi-Fi hub
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Samsung Connect is the best hub because you can connect many devices, giving you control and automation of your home via Samsung’s Connect App. I tried another hub in the past of other brands, but none had the technology of connecting your gadgets. This is great because it is like getting two in one, extending wife throughout your home with fast speed and simple device connection.
Design: It is great that these devices are small compact size that can be placed in view or out of view in any room. The plug is a good size and not bulky like other devices/ hubs. I had another device which the plug was very big (2.75 in x 2.75 in), that it prevented me from plugging other devices to adjacent outlets. Normally, the size of a plug is not usually considered in the purchase decision process.
Connected devices: After signing in into your Samsung account, I added another device, my Samsung POWERbot. Once it is connected, it is easy to control your robot. My wife loves her POWERbot and now with this smart hub, she now has more control, even when away from home. Happy wife, happy life! I am in the plan of getting more devices which can connect to the hub. For example, I travel a lot and when I leave home I adjust the thermostat manually to save on my electric bill and now it is easier to install a smart thermostat.
Connection Speed: I live in a two-floor house with 4 rooms, one entertainment room and large living room (2500 SQ feet). All my kids study online, and having a good connection in their room is a must have in my house. The speed and range of this three hub are great. I get a full bar on over 90 of my house. They do a great job.
Setup is very easy, instructions come in a 14 in a square card. 1) Download Samsung Connect app, 2/3) Connect Ethernet and plug, 4) Open the app, 5) then follow the instruction on the app.
This Samsung Connect Home 3-Pack is in the direction of making any home a smart home. Love it. Love Samsung.

This is more than just a speaker - it's a journey. Starting from the very basic elements of sound and speakers, your children will build a deeper understanding as they move toward assembling their Speaker Cube. At every step, exploration is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded.

Awesome product for young kids
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
My 4th grader built this speaker by himself. It works and looks awesome. All I did for him was install the iTunes apps and he did the rest. An iTunes app is required to set it up but once built it can be used with non-Apple devices. It is really easy and works well for any age. It takes approximately 30 minutes to build and setup. What my son learned: "When you put a coiled around a magnet and you charged it, it makes music." The cover designs can be changed and the color changing feature is pretty. The app allows many more features with the speaker, such as the pitch and color changing patterns. It has a max volume setting control.
He is happy with this new speaker.

Awesome Samsung Device
on June 15, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
The Samsung POWERbot R7070 Robotic Vacuum is latest tech device at my house and everyone comments that it is awesome.
My ten-year-old boy likes to use the manual control option to drive it around the house. He also helped me set it up with no issue. One of his chores was to sweep the floor, now he will enjoy doing it with the POWERbot. It does a great job at with corners and edges. The canister comes out very easily for cleaning and it is washable. It is not noisy and works great when programmed with the Samsung app. It works well in the kitchen, living room and bedroom. It has an excellent sensor because it has not knocked down anything or gotten stuck. It goes under the chairs and tables without any issues. It is fun to watch it go through the room like if it is going through obstacles.
I recommend this device to all my family and friends who would like to arrive at a clean home. All my kids enjoy the device so much that they even gave her a name, GABY. It's like have a pet. My wife is very happy with this product, especially that it actually cleans underneath the couch and beds. Happy wife, happy life!

Excellent for small children
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I highly recommend these headphones for small children for various features.
1) The volume has a regulation limit that is not going to blow out eardrum or be very uncomfortable for small children to listen to.
2) The size is perfect for small children but will not recommend for children 9 or over. Two of my boys tried the headphones, one is 10 year and the other is 6 years old. The 10-year-old mentioned that they are a little tight for him.
3) The jack connection is not straight it somewhat an L-shaped. For kids usage, I prefer it this way because of the advantage of the L-shaped jack is that it is less likely that it may snap or bend and damage the device aux when it is in a pocket or while using it.
4) The kids loved the feature of changing the design on the sides of the headphones.
5) They are comfortable enough to be used for hours.
6) They are good quality because of its strong plastic and they should last a long time with normal kid use.
In summary, I think these are the perfect set of headphones for small children. Excellent design, durable, safe features, and comfortable to use.

Replace the keyboard of your Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 6, 5 or 4 with this silver Brydge keyboard. It conveniently lets you open the screen at your preferred viewing angle without a kickstand, and its backlit keys increase visibility in low light working environments. This Brydge keyboard is lightweight, so it doesn't add extra bulk to your device.

My first time using a wireless keyboard for Microsoft device and I can say that I am greatly satisfied with this Brydge wireless keyboard. It looks and feels like it is well made and solid. It holds secure tight and there is no fear of device falling off from the keyboard. It is safe to use on Microsoft SP3/4. The metal hinges move smoothly without any issue and it allows multiple of angles of setup. The keyboard is like normal size keys and they feel comfortable for typing and mouse pad very responsive. Pairing was fast and easy with no issue with Bluetooth connection. Again, I am very pleased with this product and if I ever need another wireless keyboard, I will definitely get a Brydge brand.

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.

Best Wireless Earbuds
on May 22, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
Personally I like this earbuds because it is lightweight, great sound quality and battery life.
They are very easy to pair with my Samsung On5 phone; when you have them on your ear it lets you know if they are paired. They are very comfortable to wear because they are lightweight. They are great to carry and small enough to store away in any bag. I did not have a problem with the earbuds staying in my ears; other buds usually come off easily, but not this pair. These actually stay in your ears. holds charge for all my talk time of my most busiest days. The sound is really great. It is fast, clear with good bass. This product was intended for my use, but it has been my wife who uses it the most. I will give these to her for her use. My summary of my review: Happy Wife = Happy Life.

Bring the party to your patio with this Sonance two-channel outdoor streaming music system powered by Sonos. Combining a 1" cloth dome tweeter with a 6.5" glass fiber cone woofer, the cabinet speaker delivers accurate audio across the range from deep bass to mid-level and treble with a frequency response between 65Hz - 30kHz. This Sonance outdoor streaming music system is powered by Sonos which allows you to stream your music library, radio stations and online music services using the Sonos app.
 

Does this speaker come in the color black?

Not sure if the speaker come in black but I wanted to mention that one can apply a coat of paint. The casing is made of hard solid glass fiber, and its mounting brackets are solid metal (probably aluminum), both of which have a good coat of matte white eggshell color. The texture feels a bit like a smooth eggshell, and I believe this is so one can paint over them (prime surface).

Bose Sport Open Earbuds are true wireless earbuds like you’ve never seen or heard before. What makes them truly unique is that they are the first workout headphones of their kind that combine exclusive Bose OpenAudio technology with an innovative open-ear headphone design to produce high-quality sound without covering your ears. This allows you to hear your music and the world around you for an unbelievable, full-sensory experience. The city. The surf. Your running buddy. Hear it all and your music at the same time with these entirely new, entirely open sport earbuds. Sound is what motivates, and Bose Sport Open Earbuds deliver. The exclusive Bose OpenAudio technology produces clear, consistent sound that’s more authentic and comfortable than bone conduction. In addition, acoustic spillage is minimal thanks to speaker placement that’s closer to the ear. A comfortable and secure fit is crucial when exercising. These sport earbuds were rigorously designed and tested to gently rest on your ears while staying put no matter how intense your workout. Bose Sport Open Earbuds also offer up to eight hours of play time (with daily charging), an advanced mic system for crystal-clear calls, and IPX4 sweat and weather resistance. Now you can combine the environment that invigorates you with the content that motivates you.
 

can one earbud be used at a time to either take/talk on phonecalls?

Well, yes and no. Not possible to use these two features, take and talk, with just one earbud. For talking, the right earbuds have the microphone but none on the left. The control to take a call is on the left earbuds. Solution: If you want to use just one earbud, you would use the right side only and use your phone to take/answer/hangup a call.

The Filtrete™ Maximum Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-MAX-S01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.
 

Can a designated counter mounted faucet be used with this filter?

Yes, a designated counter mount faucet just for drinking or cooking would be great. This will extend the life of the filter and save you money replacing the filter. This is a great idea because most likely you don't need filtered water for washing dishes. Depending on the faucet tubing, you may need to get a different connector. The push/quick-connect fitting are the easiest for plastic tubing.
