Compact Size, Cleans Well, Good Suction
on April 9, 2017
Posted by: JohnZ
The machine is three quarters the size of a full-size vacuum yet is so much easier to move. Extremely maneuverable. Works well on deep pile carpeting because it has helpful suction control so it doesn't oversuck the carpeting. Gets into nooks and crannies that other larger machines cannot. Lower profile allows machine to get under furniture. Steers easily with just wrist motion. Cord could be longer. Easy to assemble and take apart for stairs. Fills quickly thanks to our 120 pound furry dog.

Enjoy immersive sound with these Bluetooth Sony EXTRA BASS over-ear headphones. The presets let you choose between arena, club, hall and outdoor stage sound, and the noise-canceling technology lets you block out the world while you listen to tunes. Listen wirelessly for up to 18 hours with these Sony EXTRA BASS over-ear headphones.

I have a $300 set of wired headphones that I love but I thought it was time to go wireless. I have a $50 wireless set but it just doesn't sound as good as the $300 one. These Bluetooth headphones from Sony check in at $200 and sound as good as the more expensive set without the wires. You're able to optimize the sound settings even with an app you can download from the app store. I also tested the headphones with some Imagine Dragons songs to try out how they handle the strong bass. You really feel Radioactive. You can turn the extra bass off if you don't want it for the current song.
The 18 hours of play time is more than you'll ever need away from a recharge unless you're on a really long trip.
Built-in mike for handling phone calls if you're linked up but I primarily used for listening to music. Nice to know it is there but you're not getting these to talk over the phone, unless of course you have the latest iPhone without an audio jack.
Comfortable fit over ears with very little leakage of sound.

Easy Setup and Fast
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: JohnZ
Okay, the price might be a bit much but what you get for it is well worth it. Setup was a breeze for the first and each subsequent unit. A little longer for first then rest. Once all three connected, you have mesh network coverage with 100% speed throughout your home and most of yard, too. Obviously, it depends on house size, but each box supposedly covers 2,000 sq. ft. With minimal overlap, you'll get 6,000 square feet of coverage. Unlike extenders which drop throughput as you hit each repeater, this keeps sped up at the max amount no matter which node of the trio you're connected on. If you keep the same network name and password, you won't have to reset all the devices in your home, too. I wish I had this sooner. Will enjoy the stronger outdoor coverage once the weather gets warming.

Great for the Home with WiFi Coverage Gaps
on December 20, 2016
Posted by: JohnZ
We have a decent size home and have areas were the WiFi coverage is lacking. I first tried to setup a repeater. The thing was a bear to setup. It worked fine once configured but it essentially gave you two different WiFi networks to connect to. If you were in the area of the home where the repeater had better coverage, you had to disconnect from the main network and switch to the repeater's.
The Google Whole Home WiFi system is the complete opposite of that fiasco. First, everything works together as one network, a WiFi mesh network. It is smart such that once setup, if you're within range of multiple devices, they will supposedly pick the one that will provide you with the fastest connectivity.
Everything is controlled by an app that runs on your phone, either iOS or Android. The app will NOT run on your laptop/desktop. The app lets you prioritize devices on the network such that if a kid is hogging bandwidth, you can make sure you get your bandwidth needs fulfilled first. There is a very limited parental control app built in that they call Family Wi-Fi pause. You can disable specific devices at certain times so kids aren't playing all night. While this feature works as intended, I would be more inclined to get a full fledged kid monitoring and access control system to ensure wandering eyes don't see what they shouldn't when they do have access.
Overall I like the product and it is easy to setup. Something I'm not particularly fond of is the high price when you need the three device setup. One way you can justify this though is to send your cable company's networking router back and use this as a replacement, thus saving the monthly rental fees.

Easy Setup and Extended Range
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: JohnZ
With my old router, I needed a repeater to get wireless coverage in certain parts of the house. With this one, I don't. Setup was a breeze going through their wizard. I need to play with the parental controls on the device. I currently have a separate setup for that. I may be able to get rid of it with what is included in this router. Speed seems to be faster. Going around the house resetting network access for all the smart devices was a necessary hassle. There is a WPS button on the back for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, it just isn't labeled as such. There is no written manual, but online Help is available through the web Smart Wi-Fi interface. Overall, now that we have multiple devices in the house doing higher bandwidth activities, we seem to be sharing the net bandwidth better.

Clean your carpets efficiently with this iRobot Roomba vacuum. It lets you set a schedule for automated vacuuming, and the sensors help it navigate under furniture and around objects on the floor for a more thorough cleaning job. This iRobot Roomba vacuum has internal brushes, agitators and suction to handle debris and pet hair.
Does this have to have a monthly subscription to keep it running? How does it know where to go?
No monthly fees required.
There is a single "box" you can use to setup a barrier. The box has two modes. You can use the straight line mode to block off a doorway. It will setup an barrier to between it and the wall across from it that the Roomba won't cross. There is also an "arc" mode that you can use by let's say placing it between your dog bowls. That will create an arc around the bowls so it won't repeatedly ram into them. Otherwise, it has free reign of where it will go. If the battery starts getting low, it will return to base.

What are the dimension and how can be charged? It has a bag to store all the dirty? Thanks
The Roomba is about 13" around. There is a base you plug into the wall that the machine parks over whenever it needs a charge. So, add a couple more inches for depth for the base. No bag. It has a small bin in the front that you can empty when the machine is parked.

Can you use any solution with this machine ? Also, does this clean in the grooves of textured floors ?
It is not recommended you use another solution. I think that has the potential to void the warranty.
