Cannon Fodder
on September 8, 2019
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from Greenacres, FL, USA
Usually we've found that Canon makes well thought out & quality products, well not this time. It took us three different lengthy attempts to get it hooked up to WiFi, the photographic print quality is poor, and it is too big (its desk top footprint is much bigger than the HP printer it replaced). And while on the Canon website trying to figure out hooking up the WiFi I read a plethora of reviews stating that although its supposed to last 4 years and the supplied ink 2 years, after only 1 year it stops working and you get a error message mandating a factory service that costs more than a new machine (granted that's hearsay but a lot of different people had the exact same thing to say so there must be some truth in it and hence its worth mentioning herein, especially if other will make a buying decision based upon only initial experiences with this machine and not long term ones, when this machine is marketed as a long term machine).

GREAT SOUND
on July 4, 2019
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from Greenacres, FL, USA
Great bass and sound in general from such a small device. Took a while to update its software at start up but after that it was smooth sailing all the way and flawless function. The sensitive microphone hears our commands no matter how loud the music is and Google Assistant responds quickly.

Dell Does It / Doesn't Do It Again
on June 15, 2019
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from Greenacres, FL, USA
Great laptop for the price.
Only had this computer for a few days, but here's what stands out so far:
PROS
1). Images can be clearly seen at almost any angle.
2). Easy to use in general, especially switching apps.
3). Very FAST !
4). Its thin and light weight, although certainly not the thinnest or lightest.
5). Feels well built.
6). And the lighted keyboard is a major plus.
CONS
1). The cooling fan is annoyingly way too loud !
2). Battery life is only average at best.
3). Fit & finish is below standard for Dell.
4). Its speakers aren't good enough.
5). Display is a little too dark for me personally.
6). A few times while gaming it froze for approx 10 to 20 seconds.

OUTRAGEOUS
on June 1, 2019
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from Greenacres, FL, USA
This VR headset is outrageous !
So much better in both audio and visually than one that utilizes your cell phone as a screen. It takes a minute to get down pat using the hands that they give you, but after that it is intense. And the safety border is the best I've ever experienced. This is well worth the price ten times over. Except for a three grand unit a friend let me try once I would say this is the best VR unit I've ever experienced. The only drawbacks are that its a little forward heavy and it doesn't adjust small enough for small heads of children. I would definitely recommend this to anyone !

BIG SOUND IN A LITTLE PACKAGE
on April 14, 2019
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from West Palm Beach, FL, USA
Sound diminishes outside, especially Bass, but this little powerhouse has a great sound outside, plenty loud enough, and the Bass is fantastic. We didn't give it 5 stars because it was a little difficult to set up initially but after that it's easy and quick. And a full charge will only last a couple of hours playing it loud outside. But overall this is a great sounding blue tooth speaker in a small package that's quick and easy to use at an affordable price, especially considering it carries the "Sony" brand name and therefore should last a long time without any problems.

NOT HAPPY
on July 6, 2018
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from West Palm Beach, FL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
We needed a cheap desktop computer right away and found this one (Lenovo - IdeaCentre 310S-08ASR Desktop) brand new at our local Best Buy for a little over three hundred bucks, a good deal we thought, that is until during set up we discovered that in order to use it at all you are forced to have a Microsoft account and give them all of your information in order to proceed to use this computer. And that's why we gave this Lenovo Desktop Computer only three out of five stars. Generally it is not very powerful compared to others, and the graphics aren't too good either, but you get what you pay for in life and we knew those things going in, but didn't know we would be forced to participate in a Microsoft scheme in order to use the product we purchased; that information was neither published online or on the outside of the computer's box. In all fairness to Best Buy they offered to accept the return of this computer and give us a full refund.

THE BEST EAR BUDS
on June 24, 2018
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from West Palm Beach, FL, USA
These Jabra Elite active 65t are the best ear buds I've ever had bar none. Plus they're truly wireless. Easy to hook up. And they stay connected. The case provides an extra charge even when not plugged in. They charge quickly. They're Salt Water resistant so sweat doesn't adversely affect them. They stay in my ears and don't give you that feeling that you may lose them while doing physical activities. They work great with my Samsung cell phone and my Accer tablet, but not so good with my H.P. desktop computer. The sound quality is absolutely great and they have heavy bass and an equalizer ! Just hold the volume button in a couple of seconds and you can easily skip songs forwards and backwards. Great sound quality on the phone as well and the people I am talking to can't hear any background noise and can't tell I'm talking to them on ear buds. And they have a setting (when you want it to) that allows pass through noise of the outside world for safety sake while walking or jogging out in public; yet with that feature turned off I was able to watch a movie on a airplane without even the remotest hint of the engines' noise during takeoff. The only draw backs that I could find were that:
1). Jabra claims 4 to 5 hours run time on a full charge but I found they get only 3 hours with music (maybe I listen to my music too loud) and 4 hours of continuous phone use;
2). And the case is a little big, but still fits in my front pants' pocket.

GREAT T.V. FOR THE PRICE
on June 22, 2018
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from West Palm Beach, FL, USA
This is a great T.V. for an unbeatible price. We have 7 other T.V.'s (four 4k's and three non-4k's). For the first two days we set up our new Toshiba right below our 2 year old Samsung 4k T.V. for comparison and discovered the following:
PROS:
Viewing from side angles is more than acceptable. And it's definitely crisp and bright enough. Has vivid colors. No steaming problems with Fire T.V., works well with our old Xbox, set up is easy & quick. Fast response times.
CONS:
Although the LED of this T.V. is actually made by Samsung, the 4k quality just isn't equal to the 4k quality of our other 4k T.V.'s made by Sony, Samsung & Sharp, but for the inexpensive price it is still certainly noticeably better than our other non-4k T.V.'s. There's very little definition between different shades of White, which can be a little bit annoying at times. And as well this Toshiba has severe problems discerning the difference between various different shades of Blacks and Greys, which at times causes blending to the point that we couldn't figure out what was happening on screen for a few seconds, which for those few seconds is aggravating to say the least.
SUMMARY:
One gets exactly what one pays for in T.V.'s, hence in consideration thereof, for the price this is a great T.V. and we recommend it for a guest room, A.C.'d garage, climate controlled porch, or a child's bedroom, but not for your living room or den where you mainly watch T.V. most of the time, which regardless of its great value and inexpensive price is why we rated it only 4 stars out of 5 stars.

Super Suction
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: HeaterHenry
from West Palm Beach, FL, USA
We've had a few robotic vacum before and they all fell short of the job, however this Samsung model does a great job.
PROS
Advanced mapping system that really works; larger refuse storage capacity; greater suction; programmable in addition to being able to operate it via either the Samsung App or the provider remote control; repeats at a higher suction powers around edges to do a better than normal job; when out of power it returns to it's charging station, and then when powered back up it remembers exactly were it left off and returns to that exact spot to finish the job.
CONS
The advanced new mapping system partially ulilizes cameras that look at your ceiling, but has trouble with cathedral and vaulted ceilings; still doesn't do the edges well enough to not have to use your upright once in a while. Sometimes it literally gets lost going back to it's charging station; and the cell phone app keeps losing connection but the provided remote control work great.
All in all we are very pleased with this vacum.

Does both earbuds stay functional with audio when you talk? Can you hear stereo sound (not mono) when you talk?

Yes you get stereo while on the phone as well as when listening to music or watching videos online. Remember there is setting you can set wherein if you remove just one ear bud every pauses until you reinsert that bud.

Set up a seamless home entertainment system with this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit. Easy to incorporate with your soundbar, the units mount to your wall and connect wirelessly to eliminate unsightly tangles of wire. Low standby power consumption and a slim design make this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit an ideal solution for smaller spaces.
 

I have an HW K550 soundbar , What is compatible for rear speakers and where can I find them, I have looked for the SWA 8000s and haven't found them anywhere, there has to be something available ?

All available for purchase at my local Wellington "Best Buy" store or online:
1). Samsung 50 inch 4K H.D. T.V.;
2). Samsung Bluetooth Wireless Soundbar that is compatible with the aforementioned Samsung T.V.;
3). Samsung Bluetooth Wireless Rear Speakers and Subwoofer that are compatible with the aforementioned Samsung Bluetooth Wireless Soundbar.
Because Samsung T.V.'s internal speakers weren't loud or clear enough for our tastes we bought the Samsung wireless soundbar because it was compatible with our T.V. and we didn't want to have to run new wires in the walls, and because it was Samsung to Samsung it was quick and super easy. Later we bought the Samsung wireless rear speakers and subwoofer even though the soundbar satisfied our audio needs. Wow what a huge difference now that we have full surround sound, and best of all we didn't have to run any speakers wires to the rear of the room. Syncing the rear speakers and subwoofer to the soundbar was just as quick and easy as syncing the soundbar initially to the T.V..

Clean fur, dust and dander quickly with this Hoover REACT cordless pet vacuum. Integrated sensors automatically adjust the level of suction and the brush roll speed to handle different floor types. This Hoover REACT cordless pet vacuum uses a long-lasting lithium battery, so you can clean the whole room without a recharge.
 

Is battery/motor powerful enough to support a HEPA filter? Is HEPA filter available for purchase?

It is certainly powerful enough to support a HEPA filter, but we don't know if one is available. You could probably very easily make one though.

Throw away your extra remotes in favor of the Logitech Harmony 665 remote control. This functional remote works with a range of devices, from basic cable to Apple TV, and can combine up to 10 remotes in one versatile unit. This Logitech Harmony 665 remote control offers one-button setup for easy incorporation with your entertainment system.
 

I don't see this model (Harmony 665) listed anywhere but at Best Buy. Is this a special version of the 650 just for Best Buy? Or is it an old discontinued model?

SAME AS THE 650.
Presumably the 655 model is exactly the same as their 650 model except that it's specially made and packaged for Best Buy.

Logitech Illuminated Living-Room K830 Wireless Keyboard: Easily type and input commands with this keyboard, which uses a 2.4GHz wireless receiver to connect to your PC or Internet-connected TV. The 85 keys feature adjustable backlighting, so you can clearly locate them, even in dimly lit rooms.
 

How do you connect it to a samsung blu ray player without using a PC?

We purchased this for my I laws at Christmas with a samsung BD-H5900blu ray player because your site said it was compatible but how do you connect it without a PC? They haven't been able to use it and we just came for a visit and found out.
The Blue Ray player you purchased for your In-Laws acts as a "I.S.D." (Internet Surfing Device). The back lit wireless keyboard comes with a little plug that needs to be inserted into the back of the Blue Ray Player and then the keyboard will wirelessly control both the normal blue ray player functions of the blue ray player as well as the surfing the internet functions. HOWEVER you have to get an Internet signal to the blue ray player, which is accomplished only one of two ways: by running a Ethernet cable with a live INternet signal running through it directly to the blue ray player OR purchasing a WiFi wireless stick that simply plugs into the blue ray player, if you choose this method you must use your wireless keyboard to insert your home's wireless router's security code and away you go !
