So far so good!

We have xfinity internet and it's subpar, to say the least (shocker, right?). Unfortunately, in our area there really aren't many good options, and we even pay for the additional "boost" which doesn't seem to do much at all. I work from home so internet speed and quality is extremely important and I finally felt the need to upgrade our system a bit. A few years ago I had purchased a belkin wifi extender for our 1300 SF rental house (ranch style) and it worked okay. It certainly helped in the areas far from the modem but it still wasn't enough. We recently bought a split-level 2200 SF house and the same extender just wasn't cutting it on our main and upper floor, since our office is located on the lower floor. I had read a lot of reviews on this and was thinking of taking the plunge but put it off to mull over the options. Finally, 2 weeks ago I went to buy it in store and it was completely sold out as well as online. Annoying as that was, it was also a good sign in regards to the quality of the product. It finally became available online and I ordered it immediately. It took me about 5 minutes to setup just now and could not have been easier. I didn't even have to disconnect anything on my xfinity modem/router combo, just plugged the main google hub into the ethernet port on the modem and voila! The main hub went in our office and then we put the additional access point on the main level in the living room and then the last one in the master bedroom on the top floor. I checked the strength of the two access points after setup and they were at about 75% (via the Google wifi app). I checked the signal strength of the access points via my wifi settings on my phone, as well as on our smart thermostat, and the new wifi on those levels had full bars, which the old extender was not providing. Woo hoo! I've only had it installed for an hour but it's clearly a major improvement over a simple wifi extender. The app is very cool, simple to use, but I still need to look through it more. I like that you can check your signal strength anytime you'd like, on each unit separately. You can name your network whatever you'd like, change or look up your password at anytime, setup a guest wifi network, and also create a family network where you are able to control various devices and turn the wifi on and off on those, such as at dinnertime etc... I could see this being very helpful with kids, although not applicable to my husband and I yet. Seems like a great product, hope it lives up to how great it seems already!

Love Roku products!

Verified Purchase:Yes
We've had the standard Roki 1 device for almost 5 years now and have loved it. We've gotten it as a gift for all of our family over the years as well, with the same results. We recently moved and I somehow lost our remote, and unfortunately, the Roku remote app just didn't work very well so I had to buy a new one. Since buying ours years ago, so many versions have come out and to be honest, I don't really see much of a difference between most of them and was a bit confused as to which once we needed. We use the Roku in our bedroom as our main TV is a smart one so it already has all of the apps on the Roku. After not much research and deliberation, I decided a simple streaming stick might be the best since we don't use it everyday and really just want access to Netflix, Showtime, HBO, Amazon etc... I liked that the stick just plugged in and you didn't have extra cords and wires, plus the unit sitting out in plain sight. So far it's been great, with all of the right apps and perfect quality on our 32" HDTV. I would certainly recommend this over the actual device/units if you're just looking for basic apps and don't plan on using it all day every day.

Good, but not great
on January 3, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my parents for the holidays as my mom had told me she had recently gotten rid of her old stereo and missed having music in the living room. The setup was quite easy and the unit recognized the voices of our entire family. We loved that you could request music without having to setup any sort of account as long as you sync the device to your existing gmail/google account. My husband and I have a Sonos speaker and the sound quality is definitely much more powerful/clear on that, but the Sonos does not have the smart technology of asking questions etc... The device was able to answer basic questions, like scores of sports games, things you would find on wikipedia etc. However, when asking location based questions, it was not that great and often didn't recommend things that were close to your location despite specifying and the unit already having your physical location setup. It would also often answer with "I can't help you with that, yet," which could be quite frustrating as we really weren't asking anything too difficult. It'll be interesting to see how much this is used aside from playing music, but for that reason alone, it'll do the trick. Although if you're looking for something that can really fill a room with quality sound output, similar to a stereo, I would recommend the Sonos or equivalent instead. My parents are simple and don't care much about super fancy stuff so this will be fine for their music needs.

Great gift for mom

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had gotten my mom a set of tiles years ago and she loved them. She let me know before the holidays that the main one was going to die, as I guess it alerts you, so I bought her another one in the slim version. She easily set it up and paired it with the app on her phone to use with her wallet and keys. Voila! Super easy and cool to use if you tend to lose track of things from time to time. The slim version seems much more useful than the others only because it's less bulky and fits on things easier. FYI it does not come with any sort of adhesive so you would have to buy that separately.

We had this duo delivered and installed two weeks ago and we absolutely love it! The machine is extremely quiet compared to other W/D we have had in the past (Maytag and Whirlpool). The design is sleek and the steam feature is really great. I have washed everything from bedding, to delicate blouses to regular clothes. We are so happy to have these new machines!

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

Control multiple devices at once with this RCA three-device universal remote. A 40-foot IR range lets you adjust the volume or change channels from anywhere in your room, while the ergonomic, thin design allows comfortable handling. Compatibility with most satellite, cable and streaming players offers versatility, and the partially backlit keypad makes it easy to use in the dark.
