Mom needed a two slice toaster
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Mom gave her 4 slice toaster to the church's yard sale because it took up too much counter space. She wanted a 2 slice and this one fit the bill. It took 3 tries to not burn the toast, so unlike my toaster, this one doesn't need to be on max to warm the bread. IT will come out black and hard if you try the highest setting. Start low and work up. I used old bread to test it out and the third one was nice and golden.

Does everything I wanted, but the interface is...
on July 14, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This head unit has just about every option I was looking for. HD radio, pandora, iheartradio, usb front and back, Sirius ready (needs module) and more. The only downside to the unit is it is clunky to operate. I've had it in the car for a number of weeks and I'm just now getting comfortable with the controls. I figured out a new one yesterday that helps a bunch. The reading of usb has been hit and miss for two days, but that could be the interface I'm using. I'll reset that tomorrow and see if the hiccup goes away. It was fine until I added a remote start for a subwoofer. Anyway, it's a cheap alternative to a touch screen and it offers everything the touchscreen does except a back up camera and the touch. With the clearance price as well as a bunch of rewards, I got the unit for next to nothing. How can I complain about that.

Really nice set of headphones
on July 11, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
I usually have problems using headphones and earbuds. I've only used over the ear headphones and I find them uncomfortable. Earbuds are tolerable, but my ears tend to itch when I use them. That said, I got these on the ear headphones and tried them out today. Man are they comfy. I opened the box and didn't even need to read the instructions. Good thing to, because that manual is thick and small. I think the font size was many 4. Anyway, the controls are straight forward and the charging port is directly on the bottom of the left ear. That's easy to find also, because L and R are in the ear piece, really big...nice.That's the only thing on the left earpiece, the rest are on the right. They line the edge with 3.5mm jack at the bottom, volume and audio controls on either side of the jack. Lastly there's a slide switch for bluetooth pairing. The ear pieces turn into the headband for compact storage and once locked in place for using, they swivel 45 degrees to the back and just a degree or two to the front. That seems to help, because on my head, I noticed that the pads didn't sit perfect. When they were sitting good for me, they were just a bit cockeyed. If there is a downside, the adjustable headband didn't seem that snug. Opened all the way was too big for even my large cranium, but when I got it about right, I found myself make it one stop smaller to lose some of the sloppy feeling. That's a very small issue to pay for a well made headphone. Lastly, I listened to about 4 chapters of an audiobook and enjoyed every minute of it. I was able to get lost in the story and lay down without the phones falling off.
Oh yeah, I don't think these were noise cancelling, but when I put them on, they definitely deadened the outside world.

Having issues with using the router as a bridge
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
My review is a bit individualized, as I want to use the router as a bridge. I have a Linksys EA9500 that I'm really happy with. I stream Roku throughout the house via wired and wirelessly. I'm sure the Connect is a good router, but without gigabit lan ports, it won't work with my network. I've been emailing Samsung technical support for about a week and they've been great at getting back to me, but as of yet we haven't gotten the information I need to setup the unit as a bridge. I'm confident it can be done based on what I've been told so far, just the connect app doesn't do on my end what it does on the techs end. Based on the time I've spent trying to get the unit to do what I want, I'm sure it's just a few steps to use it as a main router. I guess my con would be that the instructions shipped with the unit are extremely simplified. That leads me to believe they meant it to be basically plug and play. If you want to use it as I do, an addition to my network, you're going to have issues and need help. The android app just doesn't play nice with situations that aren't in step with the basic install.

I really like the 3.5 jack
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
So first off, I really like the 3.5mm jack and the ability to use any earbuds you want as long as they have the male equivalent. Unboxing and winding up the cable is a no brainer and I was ready to pair it up with my Pixel. I followed the direction in the box, hold the button for 3 seconds, flashes blue and pair with your tablet, phone, etc. Nope, tried it a number of times. I thought maybe it just doesn't like my phone, so I tried my Acer 8" tablet, then a Samsung Tab 4 Nook. Nada. I emailed the company and they got back to me today with different instructions. Very simple to follow, but not what was in the box. No biggie, once I knew how to pair the Gravity with the Pixel, I was good. I'm pasting the direction, which are simple, but I don't want to get them wrong in case a reader has the same issue I did. Here's what I was told:
In order to get to pairing mode with your device, will first want to make sure your headset is powered off.
Once the device is powered off, you will then hold the power button and watch for the lights to come on.
Make sure you do not let go of the power button until you see two different color lights flashing back and forth. This can take up to 10 seconds.
Once you see the lights flashing, you will then be able to let go of the power button, and then locate the headset with your bluetooth device.
It works just as he states, a blue light, then a red or the other way around.

I fired up the audiobook I'm currently listening to and it sounded great. The earbud cables tuck nicely against the neckband with a clip mounted on the band. The default buds fit my ears nicely, so I didn't open the parts bag, but there are additional parts included and I assume they are different size buds. It comes with a short usb cable, but again, I didn't open it. I think most of us have a ton of these cables in our 110 adapter waiting to charge a device.

Took a few steps to get it working....
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
It took a few steps to get the hdmi to work, but it wasn't the soundbar's fault. I hooked it up with hdmi and I couldn't get sound. I finally tried the optical out/in and that source worked just fine. I messed with it for a bit, then it dawned on me that it must be a tv setting. Yup, the setting was off by default...stupid huh. It fired up and then I had to figure out the remote. The volume button wasn't working....oh wait, this is a switch, like a power window switch on a car. It works really good, once you realize it's not a button. Bluetooth works great with my Pixel. I switched the soundbar to BT and my Phone showed the Samsung soundbar instantly. I clicked pair and they paired up with no problem. I fired up an audiobook and raised the volume. All worked as it should. So far I'm really enjoying the soundbar.

Great cheap mouse
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a mouse that was large enough to fit my hand. I also wanted it to be wireless. This mouse fit both needs and so far has worked flawlessly. I always liked Microsoft keyboards and mice. Hopefully I'll find a combo kit that will work like I want. It just seems like Logitech owns the market in most stores these days.

Got a great deal....

Verified Purchase:Yes
I went into the store expecting to buy a large drive for my PC. I looked at the selection and this one had a great clearance price on it. It was much smaller than what I was going to buy, but I just couldn't pass up the deal. So it came home with me and now stores all of my music and some other personal stuff. It's not what I wanted, but it works great for it's size. I'd buy it again at that price!

Not the best, but I'm still using the keyboard
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been trying to find a suitable keyboard and mouse combo, but I haven't had good luck in doing so. I usually stick with Microsoft packs, but there aren't many around, at least in my area. Logitech seems to own the market and I've never had a happy experience with their keyboards. So I tried this inexpensive HP. The mouse lasted about a week with me. It's just too small for my hands. My biggest complaint is that the USB signal cuts out no matter how close I get the transmitter to the keyboard. I'll be typing and it just stops. I know I'll be replacing this unit as soon as I see something else that I think might work or I find a Microsoft keyboard that I like and is in my price range. If you need a cheap setup, this will suffice, but I wouldn't count on it lasting very long.

Works great with the mac mini
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased a Mac Mini and I needed a monitor for it. The Dell fit the bill nicely. It has a very thin frame that borders the screen and I like that feature. The twin screens I use on my PC have large black frames and I'll replace them later with similar units to the Dell. If this model is still available when I do, I'll gladly consider using another two for the PC. Overall the performance of the Dell is what a user expects...no issues.

It's just a Bluetooth keyboard for the Microsoft Surface Pro 4,5,6,or 7. So no operating system. You need a Surface Pro to make it a laptop or working computer.

Does the laptop have a front camera and is it also the laptop with the key board?
It's just the keyboard. It works via Bluetooth with your existing Microsoft Surface Pro 4,5,6, or 7 tablet. Together they create a laptop. So no, no camera since it's not a computer, just a keyboard. The Surface Pro would have the camera.

Is this a laptop and keyboard
No, it's a Bluetooth keyboard that attaches to a Microsoft Surface Pro 4,5,6,or 7. You have to have one of those tablets and together they turn the tablet into something that works like a laptop.

Will this DVR system work with other non-night owl cameras (PAL)? I have some really nice wide angle, commercial grade cameras.
I'm across the pond, so NTSC, not PAL. I have a Lorex 4k system and this Night Owl 1080p system and they both use BNC connectors. I'm able to connect the Night Owl cameras to my Lorex DVR and it will automatically set them to 1080p with no issues. I'm guessing I could add the 4k cams to the Night Owl DVR, but they would probably downgrade to 1080p, so I didn't even bother. If your systems use BNC connectors and a male/female power cable, I'd say yeah, it should work.

Keep your kids safe online with this Circle Home Plus monitoring setup. The included device uses your router to manage every device on your network, and Circle App makes it simple to limit screen time, filter content, and check browsing histories. This Circle Home Plus monitoring setup is easy to set up and lets you create custom settings for each family member.
Is this product has app that can be accessed from cell phone? All I want is to have a control from my cell phone when to allow the kids to access internet or to limit their game time. Such as if I can set a certain time limit for the specific game.
Yes it will do that when the phone is connected to WiFi on your home network. The kids still can use 4G or your minutes to connect, so be careful. If they're locked out of WiFi, kids are smart enough or will just let the phone connect and you may go over your phone plan. As for you home network, all items, tablets, phones, pcs, macs etc will be visible to you on your phone. Each kid will have an account set up by you and on your phone you can limit their access, reward them for good behavior with extra time and set bedtime hours. You do need to purchase a subscription, 3 month, 1 year or lifetime. AND make sure you figure out how to limit their cellular access with services like AT&T Secure Family or whatever your provider offers.
