Good product and price.

For adding color customization to your Dot, the case is an inexpensive way to do so. It is a perfect fit and is designed so as not to cover the speaker area. My only caveat is: don't believe the "leather" description. It appears to be closer to plastic, but it's still a worthwhile purchase.

A Good System
on December 20, 2016
Posted by: Cipher469
from St Petersburg, FL
For the money, the Arlo Pro (a Netgear product) is a good wireless security camera system. With a few tweaks, it could be great.
Follow the instructions, and set up is easy. I did have a negative experience in that the cameras would connect with the base, work for a minute or two, and then disconnect. However, after a firmware update was done, they connected and have stayed that way for a couple of days so far. The base has to be LAN-connected to your router, which limits where you can locate it. If it could also be a wireless connection, that would give so much more flexibility.
Camera color resolution is good, and the range of vision is excellent. So far, I have only tried the system indoors…too cold out to try an outside location. That said, unless there is a distance from base problem, I suspect it will also work well outside. With inside use, you will receive lots of notices that motion has been detected. If there was some simple way to turn temporarily off an indoor camera while you are in the room being monitored, that would be a real plus. In searching the site for information, someone had posted the suggestion of putting a cloth over the camera. Speaking of the Arlo/Netgear site, don’t expect much help there. Most of the community posts are old; and clicking on an on-site help link gets you a 404 error. Bad form Netgear. My recommendation is download the operating manual, and check it for answers before trying to get help from the site.
All in all, in spite of the negatives mentioned, I do think this is a good system for the money; and I would recommend it to a friend.

Excellent Product

If all you want to do is trim nose and/or ear hair, you can get a good trimmer for $20 or less. However, if you want to trim that hair, as well as face, head, and/or body, the 7400 is an excellent device! It charges quickly and should provide enough power for whatever hair cutting task you choose. The blades are self-sharpening steel and will easily and comfortably cut your hair, wherever it may be on your body. Of course, you should always be careful shaving the more delicate areas. In addition, the 7400 is light weight and comes with a variety of blades for a variety of grooming tasks. Should you choose, it can be used in the shower. For all that and a leather tote bag, it's also reasonably priced.

It works
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: Cipher469
The first few steps in setting up the extender are easy, but then it gets tricky. My suggestion is to use a wired connection for set up and save yourself some frustration. Once the extender is set up, it seems to work well. I tested a couple of different devices in different rooms to see if the extended range wi-fi reception made any difference over non-extended, and it did. Next, I tested it outside on the balcony, with the thick glass door closed, and it still showed a stronger signal. So, despite the set up issue, the RE7000 is a performer.

Upgrade Your Wi-Fi!
on May 17, 2016
Posted by: Cipher469
Set up: I diligently followed the written set up instructions, but found myself in a loop that didn’t get me to the point where it could be completed. So, after several failed attempts, I called tech support for help. After a very short hold time, I was connected with Geri, who made my day. When I explained the problem, she assured me she could help. She asked me to make a wired connection between my laptop and the router (not mentioned in the written instruction). This immediately brought up the online set up process. Since I was now connected, I presumed that was the end of her help. Not the case: she took me through every step in the set up process. When that was done, she had me unplug to ensure Wi-Fi was fully operational, and it was. That was 5 Star service: short hold time; courteous, knowledgeable, and well-spoken service tech!
Product: This is a big router, and it delivers a big punch! Immediately after setup, I started connecting my myriad of Wi-Fi devices and had no issues. Range is excellent, but what really has impressed is how much faster I can connect my TVs (on the other side of the house) to streaming services (Netflix, Pandora, etc.), and the connection holds. With my old router, connecting and staying connected without start/restarts ranged from very good to abysmal. If your TVs are 4K UHD, upgrade to the EA9500 as it is designed to be compatible.
The EA9500 is an excellent product! That combined with excellent tech service makes a winning combination.

What a disappointment!
on June 18, 2015
Posted by: Cipher469
from St Petersburg, FL
Having neck pain, I ordered this with great expectations for a soothing experience. What I found was a large, heavy, cumbersome device with a cord of a length that required you be very near an outlet to use it. In addition, it did not at all provide a soothing experience; even on low speed it caused more discomfort than it eased. It was a complete disappointment, I will be returning it!

Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.

Very Pleased
on February 25, 2015

from St Petersburg, FL
In my first step to cutting cable, I bought the Leaf 50, based on it's specs and customer reviews. I am well pleased! Installation and set up only took a few minutes, then a few minutes finding the right position for the antenna. The results are amazing....picture quality at least equal to digital cable; perhaps better than cable in some cases. Given the results, no complaint about the price either.

If you are a Sarah fan, add it to your collection. You won't be disappointed. If you are not familiar with her music, this CD is a good place to start. Lyrically and musically, this is Sarah doing what she does so well.....and it's currently at a good price.

Pleasant Surprise

Verified Purchase:Yes
I rated this CD a 5 because there was no "Very Good" option. Based on one song (Breathe) which I had heard some time ago in a movie, I bought the CD. Listening to it, I was not at all disappointed by the rest of the music. So, I guess I am now an Anna Nalick fan. Though different, listening to her reminds me a bit of Sarah MacLachlan, whose music I enjoy very much.

It's a good one!

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's good to have some new music from Jimmy. The songs cover a variety of music styles (whimsical, beer-drinking, thoughtful, etc.), which makes the CD interesting. There are a few cuts that I think can be Jimmy "classics," but you'll have to determine that for yourself. If you are a fan, you'll probably buy it anyway. But if you are on the fence, just go for it.
