Not bad but could be better

I already have an upright Dyson that we love and wanted something near the dinner table to pick up crumbs from the kids after eating. Very svelte and easy to use. Good suction and light. My 5yr old and 2yr old argue over whose turn it is to use. Biggest downside is what I had already read on line... It struggles to pick up cereal or other similarly sized objects on hard wood floors as it just pushed debris around. Pretty disappointing from such an expensive product. Still, for those wanting to use it around the house for other things, it's a great product.

bought this for the storage capacity as a backup plan. Replaced an 2yr old apple extreme router. Since using it, my wifi signal has dropped unexpectedly at times. Also, my internet seems to fluctuate between super fast (>125mps) to <10mps at times w/ no clear reason. Not really sure what's going on but looking at other reviews, it seems an issue w/ the time capsule. Not enough of a hassle to return it, but definitely annoying.

We switched our entire home computing system after our old pc desktop was 8+ yrs old and pc laptop was 6 yrs old. Had been fairly skepetical of the Apple fanboy nature of reviews, but were tied of our systems crashing all the time. Wife had an iPhone and iPad and we loved the simplicity of the airport extreme router we had. We thought it might be nice to have a Mac environment despite the higher cost. Bought this plus a 21.5" Mac desktop and a 2tb time capsule all at the same time and have been very pleased.
This laptop is very responsive, beautiful, and easy to set up learn for a newbie. Love how fast it is too. Just took it on a trip overseas and was incredibly light with a Great battery life. Only got the 128 SSD because a have tha time capsule at home. We have only scratched the surface of this machine, but pleased. Highly recommend making the switch.

Bought this to replace a harmony 550 that we've had for the past 5 yrs. Really liked it but ran into issues where it the rubberized backing was difficult to clean and became sticky. This was a welcome replacement and is even easier to use. Buttons are simpler and more intuitive. Got a fair deal at best buy. Would definitely recommend.b

Purchased this last month to replace a 5.1 home theater in a box system as we have little ones. I wanted to avoid any extra wires/speakers laying around. While I can tell it's not true surround and miss my 5.1 system, it's the next best thing w/ clear rumbling bass and an immersive experience. Debated between this and the JBL 400 but the price difference won me over. Have been quite happy w/ how aesthetically pleasing it is and have really enjoyed the bluetooth function to stream music from my phone for my kids. Right now, the speaker is laying flat on our console table but I plan to mount it on the wall as I have heard that can improve the sound (even though Sony claims to have an internal gyroscope to recognize which way it is positioned). Would purchase it again.

Purchased this at best buy for the beautiful HTC one. Really liked it for the thin factor but still have a sense of providing goods protection. Later bought the incipio dual pro shine case and another incipio dual pro case but didn't like how thick they made the phone. While more protection is always nice, it was too heavy and large with the other cases. This case is sleek and stylish and enhances the cool factor of the HTC one.

Bought this phone last month and love it. Had debated between it and LG G2 and droid macs and am happy with my purchase. Great features, no problems with processing power, and beautiful build. Recently have had people had trouble hearing me when on a call, not sure if this is due to case or phone itself. Plan to do some more testing.
