Does what you would expect

There's not much to say about replacement brush heads for the Philips Sonicare. The electric toothbrush is the real deal -- and these guys have an obvious purpose.
Yah, they do their job and work as expected...

Works great

I've not had an electric toothbrush before so this is my first experience. With this unit, I must say it is a very good experience. This thing really cleans -- so much so that I wonder now why I've not done this earlier.
The various speeds and cleaning modes are useful. The Bluetooth app may be of interest to some, but not necessarily my thing.
Very pleased with this...

This thing can grow on me
on November 3, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
This is a great device that is easy to set up and that is surprisingly convenient to have around. Just say "OK Google" and then state your command.
Ask it for the time. The temperature. The forecast.
Ask it to play music. Translate a word. Create a shopping list.
Ask it to do a basic math problem. Tell you about a person. Give you a stock quote.
The speech detection is very good. The small format speaker sounds decent. The overall aesthetics are nice.
I'm eager to try it with my automated lights and explore some more advanced features.
It was easy to set up and took only minutes to 'figure it out'.
I like it and am eager to see what more it can do...

This unit is really intended for cars that do not have bluetooth, rear backup camera, aux ports, and related. With that said, it can fill a gap in older cars where one wants to stream music from their phone through this device, use this device for a hands-free speakerphone, use this device as the GPS, install and use a rear backup camera through this device, etc.
It does all of these things as described. As to whether I would recommend it, yes I would -- within the above context.
This is not an all-singing, all-dancing device. It bridges a gap with older cars that don't have all the bells and whistles...

What a great unit
on October 10, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
I expected a lot from this unit since it is from Bose... and it delivered!
Great sound from a compact unit, including really good bass and great range overall. It was very easy to connect as a Bluetooth device and so far has shown good battery life.
I definitely recommend this one.

Great setup
on September 29, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
I got this for my daughter's college rental where 5 room mates on 2 different floors make extensive use of the home's broadband connection. Their WiFi coverage was spotty on the main level and inconsistent throughout the home.
This unit did the trick, with the base unit replacing the current WiFi router on the upper floor and the satellite component providing coverage on the main floor.
Setup was simple and all is working great.
Both the base and the satellite are aesthetically pleasing -- not a big deal for the base, but a plus for the satellite since you can place it on an end table, book case, shelf, or wherever there is a power source without worrying about the looks.
The WiFi coverage is now much improved...

Great features, decent performance
on July 18, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
This Chromebook has many attractive features, including the touchscreen with ability to perform as a tablet. This feature will be attractive to many people, particularly since the price point will be less than that for many tablets.
The overall performance reflects the lesser price point (lesser price equals lesser performance). The screen resolution, camera resolution, touchpad performance, and so on are "ok" but not great.
If you are seeking the functionality of a Chromebook with a full feature set at a decent price, this should be a strong consideration. If you are seeking an "all-singing" and "all-dancing" compute device, you will be looking for a traditional laptop or tablet...

This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.

As good as I hoped it would be
on June 8, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
This unit was easy to install and get set up. The app used to locate the optimal location to place the device was intuitive and produced good results. The outcome is that WiFi coverage in the basement (and in the adjacent building) is now very good and the throughput is much improved.
This unit is as good as I hoped it would be...

Reasonable unit for basic use
on May 18, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
This unit is reasonable for someone seeking a full-featured Android tablet at a moderate price. The 10.1" screen with 32 GB of memory are desirable features in addition to the full feature set of an Android-based device. The screen resolution and the camera resolution are noticeably less than a higher-priced unit.
This would be a good unit for someone seeking a lower-cost entry-level tablet, including students or anyone wanting a tablet for occasional use.

Outstanding Performer
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: HomeOfficeUser
From the time I opened the box, it was apparent that something was different with this unit. Compared to the dimensions of a typical WiFi router, this thing is a beast.
It soon became apparent why -- there is an awful lot of horsepower under the hood. The 8 antennas that jut out from the sides of this unit seem to state that it means business.
Upon setting up this WiFi router the performance was immediately obvious on my personal Macbook and my work laptop. I did a double-take when seeing how much faster the web pages painted on the screen that with the previous router. The web pages now 'pop' versus 'paint' on the screen.
The next thing that I tested was placing VoIP calls over my work laptop (like I do every day since I work from home). I previously had to use a direct LAN connection on my laptop to avoid 'voice chop' (poor voice quality) that I otherwise experienced when using a WiFi connection with all of my previous WiFi routers. With this Linksys WiFi router I am now able to use a WiFi connection on my laptop and have voice over WiFi conversations without any issue. Voice over WiFi calls now work flawlessly.
I then tested Netflix 4K content streaming via WiFi on our home satellite box. That too went flawlessly.
We next did a 'family test' with 3 laptops, 2 tablets, 1 Xbox, 3 smartphones, and 1 satellite box all streaming video at the same time -- all while I browsed the Internet, did a screen share, and spoke with a colleague via Skype for Business. All at once! Not one hiccup!
The initial setup was quite easy, following the basic instructions to connect to a web interface on the WiFi router. The screens are easy to navigate and the settings are intuitive.
I hadn't realized that I can plug external hard drives onto the router -- to be accessible to other devices as network storage. I'm looking forward to setting that up.
In all I am extremely impressed. I never thought a WiFi router could make such a difference in performance on one WiFi-connected device, much less an entire household of devices.
This unit is an outstanding performer...

Cleaning up after pets has never been easier than with CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro, our BEST CrossWave multi-surface cleaner for homes with pets. It vacuums and washes at the same time, across sealed hard floors and area rugs, combining cleaning steps and saving you time. It’s perfect for grab and go cleaning of frequent pet messes with up to 30 minutes* of hassle-free, cordless run time and it weighs just over 10.5 lbs. Our pet parent engineers incorporated three different cleaning modes: Hard Floor Mode, Area Rug Mode and TURBO PET Mode to boost cleaning performance, especially for pet and everyday stuck-on messes. CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro multi-surface cleaner also has LED headlights to illuminate pet hair, dirt and debris while cleaning along baseboards and in corners. And unlike when you use a mop and bucket, there’s no need to worry about putting dirty water on the floor while you clean, since our Two-Tank Technology keeps the clean and dirty water separate. When you’re done cleaning, CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro cleans itself! It has a self-cleaning cycle that rinses the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave with clean water, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. Plus, it comes with two trial-size bottles of our PET Clean + Natural formula and two PET Multi-Surface Brush Rolls. And this machine doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.
 

Is this machine safe to use on hardwood floors?

Yes, it is safe for hardwoods as it has good suction and does well at getting up all of the liquid that it dispenses for wet cleaning.
