Range extenders are either super easy to configure or a complete pain. This range extender was both easy to set up AND easy to notice a difference in connectivity. Unboxing was easier than expected and the set up entailed the use of one button.
My router is located in the basement of my two story. My bedroom is on the top story. Before getting this range extender I was lucky to get wifi connectivity past the main level. Now, i can easily get a connection on the second floor.
Overall, easy set up and easy to measure the noticeable improvement.!

Bottom Line, these wireless headphones are phenomenal. At first i was a little concerned that the slender design would equate to a lower quality bass. I was completely wrong. I have a few other pair of wireless headphones and these blow all others out of the water.
The bass is deep, the treble is crisp. I am beyond impressed.
The design fits snuggle over my head and ears and has yet to create any soreness. The configuration on the side of the right earphone has a mini charging plug in, a power button and a volume up/down toggle. Other wifi headphones have 4 times the functions.. but in my opinion they are all a waste of space and practical functionality.
Overall, my favorite wifi headphone i own. Highly recommended.

When i first began using the Box i was impressed. It was easy to set up. It was easy to install the app. It was all very easy to use. However, after some time of really digging into what the product was actually doing i began to form a sour taste in my mouth.
In my opinion this item is equal to a hardware version of an antivirus software... with more bells and whistles. Sure it claims to be a cyber hub... but how can one really measure that? The only real way to directionaly monitor that claim is by looking at the potential harmful traffic that this item is claiming to stop.
Nevertheless, claims aside there are good aspects to this product. It eliminates the need to use the the app as suggested by my router... which is nice to me. Less apps on my phone is an immediate win.
All other antivirus products that i have used in the past have all been software... this innovative approach give me an extra sense of security..even though it is probably on par with other programs i have used.
All in all id say there is work to be done to improve this product, however; a tangible antivirus product is a paradigm shifting way to provide cyber security.

Functional, Feature Filled
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: JorgeST

When i first heard that Garmin was coming out with Speak Plus I was super excited. As I had always wanted a dash cam, this was the prefect item for me. After giving it some thorough use i have some to the conclusion that the quality of this item really boils down to 2 categories. Functionality and Features.
After the super smooth set up i jumped right into the basic 101 of the item. Easy GPS, Easy recordings, Easy Alexa Integration. The App was very intuitive in setting up too. One thing that i noticed, however was that the App was a little lagging on features... but the alexa integration hedged that thought of mine. The app doubled as my in vehicle GPS, but smoother. I was able to "ask Garmin" to direct me to the nearest coffee shop in a breeze. Bottom line, if you are looking for an intuitive device to assist with GPS capabilities, this is a go to. It also is super compact and does not eat up a lot of room on my dash/windshield... and although the OLED display is solid the wires that go from the unit to the power plug in are a bit in the way which which negated the overall score of this review.
Functions - One thing that, for me, is a little bit of a learning curve is the "connected" nature of our tech era. I enjoy if, but often times forget of the capabilities. The Alexa integration is a great example... the feature are endless... change my thermostat, can play music, etc etc. Its hard to remember all of the features. But never the less, practice makes perfect.
All in all a great slender, device that is bound to change the way we stay connected while on the go!

Overall, Antivirus software in my opinion is hard to mess up. 1, does it catch viruses? 2, does it auto update? Those are seriously my only criteria as to if the product. The answer to both of these questions is Yes. Worth the buy, not a huge fan of the subscription model but overall gets the job done!

Great sound, small size
on January 23, 2018
Posted by: JorgeST
from Minneapolis, MN
Overall these wireless headphones are just shy of flawless. Lets talk about sound. I have owned several pairs of headphones in the past... most have been lacking in the sound category... this pair has not. Deep base, crisp sound, very good overall. The charging dock is a mini sd plug in (I think) which is awesome... as this plug is a little more common that the other sorts, which makes it easier to find replacements if needed.
The one area that I do not like is the size. Maybe I simply have a big head. But it is juuuuust shy of comfortable fitting my head. If it were even 1/2 inch larger it would be a 5/5.
All in all worth the buy and I would highly recommend.

Hard Hitting, Easy to set up.
on January 14, 2018
Posted by: JorgeST

Overall, this sound bar delivers more than i could ever imagine. Ive never owned a sound bar before but can tell you that its worth it. A few feature that have really made this item worth while in my opinion.
First, Set up. When unboxing this item, it immediately struck me how well assembled the packaging and instructions were. Im not much of a tech head so i was as first a little hesitant to begin set up. I didnt need to worry. The super easy to read instructions walked me through how to set up the sounds bar based on my current set up...i thought i was going to need to play a guessing game. This was as immediate boost of confidence.
The second main feature that i have learned to really enjoy, oddly enough is the remote. I game with this sound bar as it provides exceptional sounds qualify and hard hitting bass. The remote that it comes with has voice control along side regular control, this makes hearing voices or more treble related sounds easier if i choose to do so. This might not seem like a major pro to some, but those gamers out there know just how important this actually is.
All in All oustanding sound, which bass that shakes my entire house with an easy to set up how to guide after unboxing. Great piece of tech here and wroth the buy.

Overall the Hue lighting system delivers as expected. Controllable, dimmable and visually pleasing.
Smart lighting has given us great flexibility. When we are gone I can easily dim and turn on and off my lights. I can even look on my security camera to see that it is on/off. This product offers all aspects of having my smart home be smarter.

Commercial Grade for the Novice

This Blender is by far the highest powered blender I have ever used. When I was in college i used to work in the food industry, and recall using blenders of this caliber, but never in my home.
I consider myself a big smoothie guy which is one reason this blender has appealed to me so far. My previous big box store blender would consistantly get jammed. That has never happened for this unit. It powers through anything you put into it (within reason). Ice, Salsa, Soups, all are blended with ease.
Although the pricepoint is a tad high, i would recommend this blender to anyone who is looking to have a gourmet kitchen performing unit in the comfort of you home.

So far the pixlebook has exceeded my expectations. This compact multi positional anti-laptop packs a huge punch from a performance standpoint. I dont want to belabor the fact how powerful this little guy is. 8 gbs is more than enough for a satelite laptop like this one to process anything needed since we can all assume the owner would more than likely not be doing any extensive photo/video editing.
2 two main design features I value are the many different positions that this can morph into...teepee, tablet, stand, laptop. The second is its slim design.
This is roughly less than 3/4ths inch thick. Plus, with this being as versatile as it is, this is a keeper for sure. Enough said.
Outside of design, this is a head turner. Sleek, slim, powerful and very intuitive to operate.
Highly recommended!
