DISAPPOINTED WITH SAMSUNG
on April 18, 2024
Posted by: HeaterHenry
We highly anticipated this new Samsung sound system because our previous sound system was an 14 year old ONKYO 7 1nd 1 system comprised of a center front speaker, a left front speaker, a right front speaker, a left middle speaker, a right middle speaker, a back left speaker, a back right speaker, and a sub woofer bass speaker. The main component head unit was over sized and the speakers way too big and unsightly and all the speakers were connected via wires to the head unit. We had 5 devices connected to our head unit (i.e. in from cable box, in from gaming unit, in from our Roku streaming unit, in from blue ray player, out to television). The new Samsung having wireless speakers would allow us to place them where we desired and never before could place them and as well the sound bar was small and sleek and promised big surround sound. Unboxing the new Samsung system was easy and straight forward, so was blue tooth pairing, but imagine our surprise when we discovered that this very expensive system only had one hdmi in port, so we could hook up our cable box and watch live local t.v. but no streaming the HBO MAX, Paramount Plus, Vudu, and Amazon we pay a monthly subscription for, no playing video games, no watching movies on our blue ray player. How ridiculous ! None the less we hooked everything up and was again very disappointed by the sound quality in both surround sound during a movie and as well during music videos. This was in our 9'high x 14'wide x 22'deep living room, which to fill that room with the equivalent audio volume of the ONKYO at 25% volume we have to have the Samsung on 75% volume. What we had thought would be new state of the art technology of great sound in a small package was actually very little sound in a cheap sounding little package for a high price tag. So for 2 completely different and unsurmountable reasons (poor sound quality and being unable to connect more than one device) we packed the Samsung system back up into its box and stuffed it into a closet which I guess is where it will sit until maybe we put a television in the garage and then we could put the Samsung audio system there. Thankfully we still had the ONKYO to put back in the living room. We just can't get it through our heads why Samsung would build such a high priced item that is supposedly such a high end item that only allows you to connect one inputted device and sounds like crap sound quality wise. Its as if Samsung built this trying to frustrate customers and thereby garner the worse possible reviews. We wouldn't recommend this audio system to our worse enemy let alone to any of our friends or family. SHAME ON YOU SAMSUNG.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dell Fan
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: HeaterHenry
I've always been a Dell fan from way back when but this laptop disappointed me a little bit. Visuals are at the level one would expect from a Dell laptop but the audio is less than desired, although able to go pretty loud for a laptop, when turned up high they easily get distorted and just sound cheap all around. And maybe it is just me, but I like the resistance of real keys to type on, example: the escape key and delete key are now just touchscreen buttons behind glass with now feedback feel to them. The mousepad has some feedback but not these new touchscreen keys. Running much cooler than past Dell laptops I've owned is good but the longer average battery life is much better, heavy use gets me 10 to 12 hours! Its plenty powerful for gaming and the work tasks I performed on it so I would imagine the same for school work as well. The provided ports are excellent and I have an external mouse connected. I moved a lot of photographs and music onto this laptop very easily and quickly. And over all it runs and operates pretty quietly, including the key board. For the money I would definitely recommend this laptop computer to a friend and or family member but would be even more supportive if Dell would invest in high grade sounding speakers, not just loud speakers.

Brotherly Disappointment
on January 19, 2024
Posted by: HeaterHenry
It does what it is supposed to do efficiently, quickly, with quality reproduction in black & white, and it holds a fairly good portion of paper, and that is about all we can say positively about this printer.
First off it is way to big, and also way too heavy.
Secondly it is difficult and time consuming to set up.
Thirdly it is only black & white and one would think for the high price it would also be color.
And fourthly it is much too loud when it is working. Many years ago we've heard huge office printers that were quieter. And the scanner doesn't work if the toner is out. Using the menu is not easy. Connecting to my wireless network was difficult and time consuming. From all of our past experience Brother printers are very well made and are office workhorses and this one seems no different as it is definitely quality built and put together.
Usually Brother hits the nail right on the head with their printers and over the years we've had many Brother printers that served us well but this particular printer drops the ball in most departments.

GREAT VALUE
on November 17, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
Although slow in comparison to a lot of other lap tops, its small footprint, thin profile, ease of set up and daily use, and affordability (just a couple of hundred bucks) make this the perfect computer for travel and or for a pre-teen's first computer or a early teen's daily carried to school laptop. No matter the quality of speed of the WiFi this computer is slow if you are going to try and watch a movie, you'll have to set the picture quality on the lowest setting and still it will tend to buffer here and there. But this is perfect for Elementary School and Junior High School, various websites while surfing the general web, emails, etc. etc. etc. And the battery is decent enough with about 5 to 6 hours of run on the Internet and about 8 to 9 hours otherwise. I used it straight to write a monthly performance report on Word Doc for approximately 4 hours during a layover and afterward did emails for a couple of hours and then watched a t.v. show. So even though this laptop computer lacks speed and many features, for or the money this computer cannot be beat and we recommend this computer to family and friends.

Happy Viewing
on November 17, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
Okay so this is the dash cam to beat all dash cams !
So to get the less desirable things out of the way first: there is a subscription required to their app in order to take advantage of all of the features of this dash cam but it is more than worth it. Also the size is a little cumbersome but we found if mounted behind and just to the right of the rear view mirror it is barely noticeable. And it is a little pricey in the wallet department but again - more than worth it in the long run. Although promised that professional quality installation can be accomplished by anyone, we decided to spend just a few dollars to have it professionally install by our local mechanic shop so that the continuous power is correct and not inadvertently draining and all the wires are completely hidden and none the trim work broken when doing that. As for the good traits; it has them all but for the sake of brevity the best ones are that the picture quality is the best we've seen yet, but day and night, rain and shine. Plan on spending about 45 minutes setting up the app. Once completed you're good to go. We can check on our car no matter where we are in the world possibly thousands of miles away. The voice commands make this dashcam a breeze to operate. And the motion detector and alerts and incident marking are an absolute necessity that we didn't realize we needed until we had it, so if someone slightly bumps into your car in a packing lot while backing up the motion sensor alerts you remotely and marks the incident so along with the excellent picture quality you can zoom in on the other car's license plate if they 'hit & run' and drive off. All in all we would recommend this dash cam to our friend and family. And we will be getting another one for our other car shortly.

HAPPY MOPPING
on November 4, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
This thing is amazing !
It keeps our home very clean with little to no effort from ourselves, it empties itself and cleans itself and it cleans the mop so well it never smells, and it dries the floor completely. The water tank is small though and hence needs to be refilled often when it is mopping a larger area (we have hardwood floors and tile floors and only a couple of large rug areas). We can't say enough good things about this vacuum / mop but alas we have to admit we haven't had it and been using it for very long, only 3 weeks now, so we don't know if it is going to keep working this well down the road many months and years from now. It is a bit on the pricey side. It is very quiet, probably the second most quiet robotic vacuum we've ever used. We can watch T.V. without having to turn up the volume while it is working in front of us. Although I control it on my phone, my wife controls it with voice commands on our Google Assistant device. Now we have had some technical issues with it at first, especially with mapping out cleaning areas. The 3-D Mapping is not that great and for optimum functionality we find we have to reset the it periodically. All in all though we are very happy with this robotic vacuum and mop combination and recommend it to our family and friends.

Skeptical about the monthly service.
on September 29, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
Heavy and solidly constructed for its small size, its been two days now and the battery is at 46%. Clear daytime picture with excellent zoom capabilities. Worthless in most nighttime situations because although it has pretty good night vision we can't figure out how to turn it off and if there is any type of light (i.e. a distant street light, home lamp post, porch light, etc. etc.) it blinds the picture and you can't make anything out. Although the instructions were straight forward it was very difficult to set up, mainly because it took hours of trying to get the camera to properly SEE the bar graph on my phone on their website as required. Most objectionably is that three quarters of its advanced features are only available if you subscribe to their monthly service for between five dollars a month and twenty dollars a month (the more expensive your monthly subscription the more features you get). Also it doesn't see through window screening very well, but then again only the better cameras are able to do that. And because of were the mount attaches, it cannot be stood up sturdily, thus it needs to be mounted by screwing in the mounts to a wall etc. etc. and then screwing in the camera to the mount, which is not ideal for a piece of equipment that has to be disconnected often and recharged. Hence it is a very Plain Jane camera for the expensive price with what you get without paying the extra monthly fee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

EXCELLENT ELECTRIC RAZOR
on February 28, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
Sometimes expensive gadgets aren't worth it and sometimes they're worth much more, this is a case wherein this electric razor is worth much more than its price. I can not think of one negative thing to say about this razor. Firstly the battery is great: from the half a charge it arrived with to a full charge it took a little over an hour. On a full charge I've shaved with it 12 times on medium (it has 3 power settings and medium was more than high enough to shave me close and quickly) before having to recharge it. That's a lot more than any other electric razor I've ever owned. Its the quietest electric razor that I've ever owned. It doesn't pull, tug and or snag any hairs. And best of all it gave me the closest shave as any electric razor that I've ever owned, in fact it was as good as a manual 4 blade razor. The stand that comes with it is nice but not required. Too bad it doesn't charge in the stand. The alternative straight cut razor attachment for sideburns was sharp and easy to use. The digital display tells you exactly how much batter life remains as well as what power setting you're on. This razor just feels really good your hand.

Big Punch In A Medium Package
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: HeaterHenry
Big Punch In A Medium Package: so for its size it is amazing, we set this up with our 55" in the office and not only is it loud and of great sound quality, but when watching a movie the surround sound really sounds like a 5 in one system with speakers above you and behind, its amazing how they accomplish that from a single sound bar. The woofer packs a serious bass punch as well, really makes the booms and explosions in movies like you can feel them. So it was a little tricky getting everything to sync up (for some reason I can't get my T.V.'s remote to control the volume but I'm still working on that) but once that's accomplished everything runs smooths, especially streaming music from our phone, which works flawlessly. At night a quick adjustment on the remote to Night Mode and it quiets down the bass so it won't disturb others. And speaking parts come clearly out of the center in the sound bar so we catch every word said. Take a tip: use You Tube for their video set up instructions, it makes it so much easier, and use the provided HDMI cable to connect to the T.V., that was also so much easier. We definitely recommend this sound bar and bass system.

Disappointed AIO Desktop User
on December 29, 2022
Posted by: HeaterHenry
We were excited to try our first AIO (all in one) desk top computer: smaller footprint, ease of set up and not having to route a bunch of wires and cables from tower to monitor. This computer certainly did accomplish all of those hopes. However the computer performs far below every other desk top computer I've ever had (very slow) and in fact as well performs far below most laptops I current own, one laptop made by Asus far out performs this AIO desktop computer. The camera is low quality, the touch screen is nice but small print is a bit fuzzy and videos are sticky. The sound quality is also not there so external speakers will need to be added. Downloading drivers for some basic stuff filled up over half the memory on the first day. This computer seems as if it was a great idea that at the last moment wasn't followed through on in a quality level that Asus has demonstrated before in their high end laptops and desk top computers. There is no SD card slot. And the included wireless mouse is small so we added our own mouse but if the included toggle for the include mouse is removed then the included keyboard doesn't work, so one has to keep the included toggle plugged in. We purchased a new wireless keyboard and are awaiting its arrival so as to remedy that problem. All in all I guess its a decent AIO desk top computer for the money but it could of been just so much better.

Get quick access to favorite drinks with this GE beverage center. The spacious interior holds up to 109 cans or 31 bottles of wine, while the glass door and LED lighting make browsing contents simple. This GE beverage center features five oak shelves for added durability and a natural aesthetic.
 

Do all shelves have stops to prevent them from being pulled out and falling? The floor display I saw allowed the shelves to be pulled out without lifting first. Is this normal or was it assembled wrong?

No, not all of the shelves have stops.

How often does the filter need to be changed and what is the operating cost for the year?

I believe when used 24/7 it requires filter replacement once a year.
The filter is expensive at about $200. but when compared with other units' filters costing $45. to $65. each that need to be replaced quarterly its actually less expensive to maintain annually than other units. Electrical costs are minimal as it is a "Energy Saver" device.
