Great product, with conditions

Verified Purchase:Yes
This magnetic cell phone holder is a great idea and one that will work for many people. Others will be somewhat disappointed. At issue is whether or not one has a protective cover over their phone and how thick that cover is. The thicker the cover, the less the magnetic hold, unless you mount the plate onto the outside of the cell phone cover. Without a cover, the product is a solid 5 stars.

Excellent hair trimmer!

Many people rave about Wahl hair trimmers, but my luck with them was repeatedly bad. I took a chance with this Conair hair trimmer and could not be happier. The clippers do not get bogged down from thick hair, they cut exceptionally well, and even better, this unit can operate both cordless and with the cord, when necessary. It has way more attachments than I will ever use, but better to have too many than not enough!

Decent quality keyboard at a good price
on September 10, 2017
Posted by: faceman
from Oregon, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I first plugged in the keyboard and mouse, most of the keys worked as expected. There were, however, "special" keys that did not work. I searched in the box for a CD as well as looking for an installation manual that would help me get all the keys properly working. Nothing was found. I ended up going to the Logitech website and drilled down to where my keyboard was supposed to be listed. It wasn't. Thank goodness for product images! I found that a unit had replaced this one. I downloaded the drivers and now had customizable functionality of all of those extra keys.
Aside from this initial issue, I have been happy with the keyboard and mouse. I have not had any mis-strokes double-click issues. The keys are solid to the touch. The mouse is responsive without any hesitation.

Great product for a GREAT price!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just purchased this item for under $40 and was very pleased with everything included in the package. The surge protector is top-quality, the HDMI cable is also excellent. The cleaning sprays are a winner. Not sure how, but they do successfully repel dust accumulation on the screen, while everything around the screen needed repeated dusting over several weeks.

Great Device for reduced and free TV streaming
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: faceman
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first streaming TV device and I am new to the technology. It was very easy to set up and configure, taking only a few minutes. It worked like a charm! I then downloaded Kodi onto the device, following a youtube instructional video. While Kodi takes a little more patience and time, once installed, it is an awesome supplement to the Fire TV. Between the built-in service offerings and the vast amount of free streaming services offered via Kodi, this device is a 100% winner!!! No more cable and satellite TV subscriptions for this person!!

Best Laptop Backpack Ever!!!!
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: faceman
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second purchase of this laptop backpack. My first one was in 2007. This laptop bag has been phenomenal! After 10 years of use, it is still in excellent condition and has protected my laptop around the globe. While the bag is only advertised for a single laptop, at times I have comfortably and safely fit two 15" laptops into the bag. It also has plenty of room for books, accessories, water bottles, as well as a super-padded compartment for cell phones or other delicate items. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the carrying handle is also comfortable to carry. Also, the carrying handle is reinforced with a plastic-clad steel cable, which I have used in securing the bag to my laptop security cable. The SwissGear bag is top quality workmanship and durability.
The only reason for this purchase is that I purchased a new laptop and my old bag is rather dirty on the exterior from all the use over the years, so I purchased a new bag for the new laptop. I do not, however, intend to get rid of my old laptop bag. It will be used to store my old laptop and to act as an "emergency" bag, should someone else need to borrow it.
I HIGHLY recommend this bag!!!!

This simple to use usb plug-in device accommodates a variety of memory cards.The device, though light-weight, is solid. The cards slide easily and firmly into the slot. The computer readily recognized the device, installed the necessary driver and then immediately connected. Having repeatedly used this reader, I can write that it has worked flawlessly every time.

Great quality B&W laser printer
on February 26, 2016
Posted by: faceman
Verified Purchase:Yes
The price point of this printer was awesome! I bought it on sale for just over $100. It is worth every penny!! It can print duplex (double-sided copies), has a 250-sheet paper tray, and the print quality is great.
The printer was every easy and straight-forward to set up. The toner cartridge was sealed, so there was no mess to deal with. I was pleased to discover that the printer comes with a full toner cartridge, not a teaser cartridge with a minimal amount of toner. Not knowing this, I did purchase a separate toner cartridge. NOTE: There is a larger, economy size toner cartridge available for purchase.
I did not realize until I was setting up the printer that it was not compatible with my MacBook Pro laptop, as I have an older operating system (10.6.8). (I should note that the OS requirements were plainly printed on the box, that I simply did not read them. Actually, I am glad I had not read them, for I would probably have had purchased a more expensive printer, one that I did not need.) After unsuccessful attempts to get the printer to work with my laptop, I called their help desk. The representative was very understanding and offered to try to get my up and running, in spite of their newer printers not always being backwards compatible. In just a few minutes all the proper drivers were installed and I was up and running.
The print quality is top notch! Even in economy mode, I am happy with the readability of the printouts. The LCD screen menu is user-friendly and quite understandable. There is also a web-access screen to modify the various settings. I found this to be the easiest way to customize my settings. The web access can also be password protected.
My only complaint (a very mild one) is that at times it takes longer than it should to wake up from sleep mode. I adjusted the setting for 15 seconds, but have had to occasionally wait for up to a minute or so for it to actually wake up. When it does, it only takes a moment for the unit to heat up and be ready for printing.
One final note: When I purchased this printer, I did not realize that it did not come with FAX capability. When I read that this was an "all-in-one" printer, I had assumed that would include a FAX. I very rarely need a FAX anymore, so I chose to keep this machine. This machine does print, copy, and scan, thus the "all-in-one" description.
If you do not require color printouts and are sick and tired of having to refill or purchase replacement ink-jet cartridges, this printer is a fantastic solution!

Superb DVD burner with zero problems
on January 3, 2015
Posted by: faceman
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had previous had a different model LG DVD R/W drive and returned it due to not working most of the time and losing a lot of blank CDs and DVDs in the process. I selected this model because it had its own power supply. I have been VERY happy with this unit! It performs at the speed it claims (many other units do not) and I have not had even a single write failure. I also appreciate its speed. My recommendation is to avoid those ultra thin models and to go with this one. Unless you are regularly on the road and are needing an ultra-thin unit, I believe this model will prove to be the best option for your use.

How do you jail break it or with what app

I have asked some friends as to why Fire TV would need to have a jail break, as it readily accommodates open-source applications, like Kodi. Kodi can stream virtually anything you desire. Bottom line: In my opinion, no jail break is needed. If, however, you feel you need to do so, I have seen youtube videos that will instruct you on how to perform a jail break.

Does the tv have to be high definition

While the TV does not need to be HD, the connection is made via an HDMI cable. Therefore, if not connecting to an HD TV set, you will need to purchase a converter that will take the HDMI connector and convert the signal to coax or RCA output.
