Nothing special
on February 25, 2018

from Inver grove heights, MN
Initial setup was easy and quick. 4/5
Remote - easy to launch Netflix and sling apps. 4/5
User interface - 3/5
Performance - I notice a lag and slowness while switching from one app to another. Not great. 3/5
Cable channels - local channels work well with the antenna attachment.
Overall, a very normal product. Did not find anything special about this as compared to its competitors like Roku.
I would recommend this to my friends.

Not a great product

2 stars because the initial setup was neat and easy. I thought AVG was a good product and it may stop viruses however maintaining your peace of mind is more then promises. Had occasions where the software would not update and customer support was very un-helpful. Suggesting re-installation, further more they are full of unwanted solitications promoting other software they have.. Tech support wanted to use remote access. Doesn’t help much with protecting from malicious websites.
Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Good speaker with great sound!

Still not really comfortable with "ok google" after using "alexa".
As is typical with many JBL products, the sound quality is very good with crisp mids and highs and adequate bass, although I was expecting a stronger bass response from a speaker this size. It connects to Google Play music which is awesome. I have all my collections stored in google play music which not many devices are compatible with so far. This is also the only speaker that has Google Assistant that can also run on a battery which finally makes for a portable Google Assistant speaker. I like the design. It is thinner and taller than the Google Home and is covered in a tough, black mesh fabric with plastic ends. The top of the speaker comes with minimal controls where you can play/pause, lower and raise the volume, a Bluetooth pairing button and a physical button to activate Google Assistant. You can also activate Google Assistant with your voice and the two microphones in the speaker worked well. I asked it questions from weather forecasts to old sports questions, and Google would have the answer right away. You can adjust the volume and play music through apps by voice request.
Setup is quite easy with the Google Home app.
It connects with Pandora and few other apps which are quite common.
Overall, a very good speaker for the price point.

Satisfied!

My computer was running very slow and seemed to have some issues for the past month; I've run scan disks, defrags, and my AVG free antivirus multiple times with small but not enough improvement. I put Bit defender Protection on it - The antivirus didn't seem to find anything sinister, but the program did help clear some temporary and un-needed files on my computer, ran some other scans, and whatever it did, it really did help get my desktop running smoothly again.
The "Total Protection" does have a lot of extra features that you may or may not need; keep in mind that this comes with the product key for three devices. You can buy this same product for three or one devices if you don't need it on five.
Overall, it seems that Bitdefender total protection has helped fix my minor computer issues so far- if anything changes, or if I get unhappy with the product over time, I will come back and edit my review. Overall, satisfied with the performance.

Good blender
on December 3, 2017
Posted by: Honestreviewer151987
from Inver grove heights, MN
We like making smoothies and it is a challenge to find a machine that can fully liquify two cups of frozen strawberries.
1. Horsepower - The Blendtec has 3.0 peak HP that works really well for hard contents
2. Tamper - The Blendtec's 3 hp will usually blend everything without any pushing. The Vitamix requires use of the tamper if you blend things like frozen fruits, apples, etc. This requires you to stand there for about 30 seconds longer, or less, to use the tamper.
3. Lid - the lid never pops off, vitamix lid has a large hole, where the tamper fits through, or a cap fits in securely, where you can add ingredients without removing the lid. The Blendtec has a tiny hole for ventilation, through which liquids squirt upward.
4. Container. The Blendtec has the better container. It has flat sides, which are easy to clean of the finished drink, or thick nut butters, etc. The Vitamix container has an uneven surface, which is hard to get finished products entirely off of.
5. Cleaning - Blendtec cleans easily. Add water & detergent, blend for a few seconds, rinse.
6. Noise - Very loud. Very. I put mine on a rubber mat to reduce the noise.
8. Blendtec could definitely be preferred for travel.
9. The Vitamix controls are variable. The Blendtec has programmable buttons. If I need a smoothie to run for 2 minutes, I have to look at the clock, or set my timer on the microwave.
10. Owner's manual - The Blendtec manual is pathetic. You need a good book while getting acquainted with your blender.
11. The Blendtec really needs to work on their recipes.
12. Flour - The Blendtec will blend flours in the original container.

Exciting product

This works really well with the Merge VR headset.
All that is needed to be done is bring the Cube (which kind of resembles a Piece of Eden from Assassin's Creed) up into the camera's view before its patterned code transforms the spongey device into, well, pretty much anything. While using the Cube with the headset, it flattens the environment and essentially tricks our mind into thinking we are holding different kinds of digital objects.
Cons: There are not many free apps availabe in the market currently to enjoy the full usage of the cube. Lot of apps are expensive.
Overall, a very intuitive product. This need to go through several levels of development/ improvement. Hoping to see them soon.

Good product..
on November 15, 2017
Posted by: Honestreviewer151987
from Inver grove heights, MN
I was fascinated about this product initially, this one being the first robot vacuum at my home. From day 1, I have been trying to figure out the routes that this robot takes inside my living room to ensure total coverage. Though it might seem to be missing most areas of the room initially, the robot does a very good job of ensuring that all the areas in the room are covered.(it uses some sort of calculation logic)
On Rugs - the robot vacuum does a good job on climbing on most kinds of rugs, but it struggles to navigate on places that have more curves. The direction changes because of this and hence the dirt doesn't get cleaned up well.
On hardwood flooring - No issues on the hardwood flooring.
Spot clean - This feature is very useful when we want to robot to focus on one area. The spiral motion removes all dirt.
Battery - For a robo vaccum of this price range, this has a pretty good battery life. Approximately 1.5 hours.
Auto docking - when battery dies, the vaccum is supposed to auto-dock to get charged, but if the docking station is quite far, the robo doesn't remember or take the shortest path to the station and it dies.
Scheduling - this is again a very helpful feature. I schedule it for 5 days a week for different timings and it works well.
Overall, there are definitely some improvements that Shark has to work on, but for the price range, this vaccum does a pretty good job. I would definitely recommend this to my friend.

Stylish, sleek, awesome performance!
on November 15, 2017
Posted by: Honestreviewer151987
from Inver grove heights, MN
Pros:
- Very sleek, light weight, portable.
- Gorgeous design and color scheme
- Bright screen - colors are vivid
- Premium experience, stylish
- Performance: one of the best laptops with i7 processors. I have a Dell laptop with pretty much the same
configuration, but I don't see the same performance as this Spectre laptop.
- Speakers produce excellent sound.
- Battery life is excellent on this laptop.
- I projected this laptop screen using my projector and it displays a wonderful wide-screen with high resolution.
Cons:
- USB-C is the latest update getting to all the laptops. But the absence of traditional USB ports is
frustrating because most of the devices that I own need a normal USB port / VGA port - Mouse, keyboard, monitor.
Overall, while it lacks traditional USB ports, the HP Spectre is one of the thinnest, most powerful and best looking ultraportables on the market.

Provide ample battery power for your Apple Watch with this Belkin MIXIT DuraTek charge cable. Its inner fiber liner adds strength and durability, and the 4-foot length offers plenty of leeway between the wall and your nightstand. This Belkin MIXIT DuraTek charge cable has protective insulation to shield the wires from damage as it bends and flexes.

Good accessory

This is an additional charger for my Apple Watch Series 2. The best thing about this charger is that the cable is tangle free. Charges my watch really quick - 50% charge in about 15 mins. The metal protection to the plastic makes the charging point very stable and looks sleeker. Overall, a alternative for Apple branded charger.

Most comfortable, portable, durable VR. I use this with my iPhone 6S Plus with a slim case. Thicker cases might not fit. To start with, I tried the free games available in the market, and all of them were great. The buttons on both sides gives ease of use. The VR came with the merge cube. Merge cube is a very interesting holographic object that can be used for some exciting games. The only drawback is that there are not many free games in the market. Lenses are of very good quality and the comfort is better than the google cardboard.

Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.
How can I charge battery?
Like the direction says, I've connected the headphone with my laptop for over 3 hours (laptop not hibernating) but just when I turn the headphone on, blue and red light beeps alternatively and shuts down almost immediately. I just received this item from ups and it's already causing problem.
It works fine for me.. I charged the headphones with my laptop for like 4 hrs and it is fully charged..
