Good mesh network for multi-level homes

We had been using range extenders like an old string of holiday lights trying to illuminate more areas than they could. Eero did the trick and overall wi-fi stability and accessibility has finally been achieved. Very little downtime with these units and for the hefty price tag, that's the way it should be.
We have a two-story suburban home with a full basement. I have one Eero on each level of the house and Comcast/Xfinity is our ISP. We are getting 75 mbps down and 25 mbps up generally anywhere in the house now. And about 50 mbps down and 20 up outside the house on a front patio and attached deck with a gazebo.
I run Cisco IP phones into the Eero's via ethernet and they work fine. We have anywhere from 20-30 devices connected to the wifi at any time. We run Netflix and Sonos without too many issues. I had to change the Sonos sub-net to channel 1 to avoid conflict where the Sonos would drop audio - but that's about it after being in the Eero environment for just over a month now.
Again, for the hefty price, it has to perform well otherwise we would have returned it. We were close to an Airport Extreme and two expresses to get devices on all three levels but opted for this set-up for starters and all is working as intended!

We really like the Sonos line-up and we have tried the Play:1's in stereo pair with a sub, the Play:5 and the Play:3. Dollar for dollar we think the pairing of the Play:1's is the better way to go for nice stereo separation. The Play:5 is big, loud and boomy. But a pair of Play:1's can get very loud as well and not get some boomy. I wouldn't call Sonos true hi-fi but it is good hi-fi for the wi-fi!

Dollar for dollar, we believe the pair of Play:1's is the best sound for the Sonos line-up. We tried the Play:5 and though it is a more "powerful" sound, the overall stereo separation and clarity of the Play:1's were better. We use them in our kitchen and they are a bit more discreet on the countertops as well. The Play:5 can be a bit too boomy but if that's the sound you are seeking, then the Play:5 may work best for you!

The items arrived as expected and there was very good communication informing us of exact delivery times, etc. Price was also matched to a local appliance store. We like the versatility of an upright for both frozen meats as well as being able to easily access stuff for the kids - freezie pops. ice cream, etc. The light is nice a bright too for easy sorting, reading and spotting the items you are looking for.

After 15 years, our old Technics DTS receiver popped and this box was a good replacement. I wish Xfinity remote could be compatible with it, however.

Excellent discrete sound

The Sonos Play:1 is best paired for stereo separation and with their Sub for some really nice sound without a full stereo, hi-fi system. Sonos tech. support is awesome. Sometimes, there are wi-fi channel conflicts depending on one's home wi-fi configuration. The platform is very stable and the mobile apps. make it very easy to control, customize, and integrate. We really wish Spotify would release it's Radio API for integration into Sonos, but that is a Spotify issue, not Sonos. All other Spotify functions work fine through Sonos.

This replaced a microwave that was close to 18 years old. It's nice, heats quickly and evenly and the sales person did an excellent job of describing what's changed in the last 18 years for microwaves. The pulse heat versus the constant heat is something to consider.
