Enjoy the functional yet friendly design of the Coravin Model One wine system. Its wine needle gently pierces the cork instead of removing it, letting you pour as much or as little as you want, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine for years. This Coravin Model One wine system comes with two convenient capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

Wine Saver!

I like it that I can drink a glass today and not worry about what's left. This product is good to have for more expensive wines that cannot be consumed all at once. And it really work, just make sure that the wine has a real cork.

Very good speaker!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The HomePod impressed me with it's audio quality, no set up needed. It can be placed anywhere, I can hear good bass but not over powering, the voices and instruments are clear even at low volume. The main thing that I don't like is Siri's too loud. It will be nice if she can be softer, that her volume can be turned down without affecting the loudness of the music. This is a nice addition for people who are already lock into Apple eco system. I have tried Alexa before and it just ended up being a paper weight.

Excellent sound quality

Only 21 lbs but pwoerful, it has more digital connections than analog (who still use component cables?), it has enough power for nice set of speakers, can decode commonly use audio and Dolby Atmos, 4k compatible. Use the auto calibration mic for precise set up. This Amp + my Definitive speakers= great surround sound for my movie watching.

Difficult to assemble!
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: techgirl
from IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The box said "Assemble in minutes" which is not true, I had difficulty aligning the unit because of the hardware. The manufacturer used a built in screw type flip hardware that moved and can get dislocated for the bottom and top shelf. It would be more durable if they used a real screw like they did on the middle shelf. The design is nice but the touch up paint that they include does not even matched the color of the unit. Given all the issues that I had, this is too expensive for the price.

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos¹. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN². And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.

Better but not the best

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am into apple eco system and adding an Apple TV makes sense. The UI is simple and easy to navigate with the touch surface remote. Picture quality is the same as the other streaming devices available as long as it is connected to compatible devices. I am disappointed with the audio, it does not have the true surround sound experience similar to Bluray. If the audio is set to best available, the Apple TV sends the audio to the AV receiver as PCM multi channel, if it is set to Dolby 5.1, receiver will encode it as DD but still not a true surround sound. Audio is not bad but I wish Apple will have it work like the Amazon Fire stick. Streaming movies from Amazon has DD Plus, real surround. At this point it feels like that Apple TV 4K is still lacking and still behind it's competition. I am keeping the Apple TV to use it as Homekit hub and for watching HBO and Showtime. For my movie downloads, Amazon has my business. Apple TV has an audio of DVD while Amazon Fire stick is Bluray.

Simply Joy!

From unboxing to the first time I heard it played music was enjoyable. The Sonos Play:1 feels a little heavy but the design and over all feel of it is screaming high end. Set up process takes less than five minutes that is including true play. Sonos was not kidding when they say all you need is plug it up, tap the app, no tricky programming. The best part is the first time it plays music, I can say for the size of the speaker, the sound is incredible! From low to high volume, it is a great way to enjoy my music streaming service. For anybody out there considering to buy a wireless speaker, Sonos is the best option out there, I also bought a Bose bluetooth speaker three weeks ago and if I have known how incredible Sonos sound would be, I could have added $70 dollars at that time to buy the Paly:1.

Love it!

Painless set up, all I had to do was add it to my existing AmpliFi router then it's up and running. This really made a difference in the signal and speed of my wifi in my home office. I live in an apartment building where wifi signals are interfering with each other because there are too many of them of these day!!, this mesh point and the same brand router fixed those problems. Firmware updates are delivered by the app on my iPhone. Definitely worth buying!

Wifi made easy!
on April 9, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This router helped solved my wifi issues in a place where I can see 15 different networks. The mesh system extended my wifi signal, now I can use the 5Ghz network again. My modem/router 5Ghz network became unusable and my 2.4Ghz slow with all the interference from the other wifis. With the AmpliFi so far I have seamless video streaming, the bluetooth set up was easy, adding the MeshPoint was painless. And I can monitor the wifi network over an app!

Bad product
on September 25, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used it for over a month. Then I started getting on screen message about a RAID issue. Diagnose it with the installed WD software and it said failed, used disk utility to reformat it. After the process the Time Machine recognized it right away but the drive just died after a few minutes, getting this message that the drive "cannot be read". I did some research and it turns out, a lot of users were having this RAID issue.
