Nice little speaker, controls take a bit...

from Hi Desert, CA
Got this little speaker and it's just a bit bigger than a bite size Snicker's. It only has two buttons, a + and a -. Everything is done with these two buttons. I had to get the manual, which is the size of a quarter and figure out the controls. You hold both buttons down (the manual says 2 seconds) don't let go, you'll hear a bonk, but it takes a bit longer than the 2 seconds IMHO. Once you figure out how to turn it on, it pairs automatically. I paired it with my Pixel and started an audio book. It paired seamlessly and for such a small speaker, the audio was very good. I'll have to try it with music, but for me, I use it for audio books and it will fill the bill nicely. The clip seems rather sturdy and I charged it with my Nook 110v adapter. If you're looking for a speaker other than ear buds, this is a pretty cool alternative.

Keep your SoundLink Revolve or Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker charged and ready to go, with the SoundLink Revolve charging dock. It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

Must have if you get the Revolve speaker
on April 5, 2017

from Hi Desert, CA
I opened the charge cradle first and I should have opened it last. The box contains the cradle and instructions. The instructions show the USB cable and a 110 adapter, but they aren't included in the box. I checked to see if I had missed it, but no, it's not there. Finally it dawns on me that it must be in the speaker box. I opened that box and after unpacking the entire contents, I find what I'm looking for....RELIEF So that said, the thing does just what you want it to, it charges the unit. I placed it on the cradle and there it sat, charging away as I played 7 chapters of an audiobook from my phone. I wish I could say more, but that's really all there is to this thing. If you get the speaker, get the cradle. That way you can just leave it there to charge and you don't have to fight with the cable every time you need to charge the speaker. It's always ready when you are.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. The SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 12 hours.

Great sound from such a small speaker
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
I unpacked the speaker and it still had about half a charge, so it was ready to try out. I have the cradle too, so I went ahead and set it up to charge while I read the brief manual. There's not much to it, power it up and it was already set for English, so I held the select button and it was good to go. I had the Bose charge app already installed on my Google Pixel, since I have the Bose wireless earbuds. I fired up the app and it saw and paired the Revolve speaker. I was just going to test the speaker with a Stephen King audiobook. I ended up listening to 7 chapters. The sound is rich and I'd like to say more than I expected from such a small unit, but it being Bose, I'd expect nothing less. I enjoyed the time I spent with the trial run and I look forward to what else I can do with it. I don't believe it works with a pc, but I'll be reading the reviews as well as research what this little thing can do.

Great Vacuum
on March 14, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
So I unboxed the Dyson today and it was a snap to put together. The instructions are a bit hard to visualize based on the illustrations of the tool holder, but one look at the photo on the box took care of that. I own the DC07 animal also and there are a number of pros that this model has over it's predecessor. The tools tuck nicely into the left side of the unit, down low instead of on the back of the handle. I also like that the hose attachment is separate from the handle and attaches low so it doesn't kink when you are edging the baseboards like the DC07. The long cord is handy for doing multiple rooms without having to move from outlet to outlet. If there is one downside to the ball, it's that it doesn't lock very well. It takes very little effort to pop the handle down which in turn has the unit falling over rather easily. I personally think that it still needs a foot/toe release, not just a tug. All in all, I think I will enjoy using this unit over the old one.

Great Deal

I was lucky enough to purchase this monitor on sale at a great discount. I've always used a single monitor and I thought it was about time I tried using a dual setup for my school work. Not only is this monitor working out great, my old Samsung was a tv/monitor combo and the thing looks faded out next to this Acer. Even still they both are getting the job done. If I had the ability to purchase another one at the same price, I would, but for now this works.

Good quality backpack for limited storage
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The backpack is well constructed and has a number of places for items. Unfortunately for me, I need a bag that will accommodate a full frame body as well as my rebel. I can carry either one and a few lenses for a day trip, but I like to carry the rebel body as a backup, just in case. I was able to fit a 6d with the kit lens, a 70-200 f2.8, a 85mm f1.8 and a speedlite, but that was about it. Like I said, good for a day hike if you just want to take a single camera.

Love the earbuds (headphones), the apps...ehh
on January 24, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
So I received the headphones and they look similar to the Bose wireless earbuds I have. First thing, I try them on and the installed ear pieces fit great. I usually have a hard time with in ear headphones, they make my ears itch. These didn't. They are just really comfortable and I left them in for longer than I have for other ones I own. I paired them up to my Pixel and started listen to a Stephen King audiobook. The sound quality was really good, at least to me. As I listened, I started skimming through the instructions and saw I needed to add an app. Did that and they give you a free year code for Mapmyrun. Of course the app doesn't have the headphones listed. So I tweet the company and ask where I enter the code for my free premium year and silence. No one has answered my tweet. I tried installing a few of their other apps, Mapmywalk and same menu. All th UA items, but no headphones. Anyway, I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later, but if you're looking for ease and works right out of the box, you might want to do a bit of research first. If you're just looking for a great set of earbuds, then these should fit the bill.

I really wanted to like this...
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
So my current router is the AC5400 with an extender. I stream Roku throughout the house and have the occasional signal drop. I thought when these come in, I'd be able to set them up around the house and not have many issues. To my surprise, I can't even get them to install. I downloaded the app to my Google Pixel xl and I've tried this afternoon and tonight to get one of the cubes to install. Regardless of what I do, I get the spinning wheel of death on a screen. Which screen it decides to do it on varies, but I got as far and configuring the network and let the wheel spin for 30 minutes...nada. I tried going back so it could take another go at it. still nada. I came to Best Buy.com to read the reviews and I see some issues, but for the most part it looks as if others are able to get them to work. I saw a review where Linksys reps left a user hanging, so that was out of the question. I'm already fed up, I don't need reps leaving me on hold. Also every time I almost get this system to run and it fails, I have to reboot my modem and old router numerous times to get dns to work again. So for now, this goes back into the pretty box and placed on the shelf. I'm happy with the AC5400 and extender.
If Linksys reads this and has any solutions for me, they are welcome to contact me. For now I'm done trying to get them to work.

Great portrait lens

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a good portrait lens for my last semester of photography. My instructor as well as many reviews state this lens is the perfect one for the job. Although you can pay through the nose for a 1.2 "L" lens, most of the opinions I've gotten is this 1.8 can do a great job unless you really need that narrow depth of field. I'll spend my money on other "L" lenses that are more versatile. Very happy with my purchase!

Makes a great cup, but takes forever to set up
on December 19, 2016
Posted by: RandallFlagg
from Hi Desert, CA
Opening the box and unpacking the unit was a breeze. Everything has a place, ie the scoop on the side of the unit. You remove quite a few pieces of tape and warning stickers and plug the unit in. I trimmed one warning sticker and placed it on top of the unit. The steam can be scalding and the warning is stamped in the black plastic making it blend in. The sticker will hopefully stop anyone from placing their hand on top of the hot unit. So not reading the manual, I figured run a pot of clear water through the unit since it was new. As it was brewing, I read the instructions which said to run 2 clean cycles before brewing the first pot. Okay, when this brew is over, I can do that. Nope, you need to start with a cool unit so I wait for it to cool down and then fire up the clean setting. I then see that it takes 1 hour for the clean function to complete. Then another 8 minutes for the flush to finish with another full tank of water. Let cool and repeat. In my case, the 2nd one was done the next day...so much for trying out a cup. Which brings me to the present. I finished the second cleaning and flush. With the unit finally ready for brewing, I set out to make a flat white. Seems easy enough from the recipe book...and it was. I put down the mug tray, which folds down when not using the carafe and on specialty setting it brewed 4oz. I thought it wasn't going to work at first, but it kicked in about 30-45 seconds after I hit the button. I microwaved a 1/2 cup of milk and whipped it with the attachment (which locks with a quarter turn, making for easy cleanup) and combined the two. I added the whip and although not part of the recipe, a spoonful of creamer. This is the first cup of coffee in my life that I've drank without any sweetener. It was so good, I thought about another cup, but I think I'll just savor the first experience. Now on to try the other recipes...I'm going to need to make a store run for ingredients. This probably won't take the place of my mini Keurig, but it's not really a daily coffee maker. It's something much more enjoyable.

Does this wallet support Cardano? $ADA
On Live Ledger, it does list Cardano ADA (ADA) version 2.4.1 It doesn't say Ledger Live Supported like some of the other Apps do. It's also 88kb which will eat up most of the 128k on the stick. Hope that helps.

Does the Nano S Crypto Hardware Wallet support Dogecoin?
I fired up Ledger Live on my PC and the Nano S has limited space. I have Bitcoin and Ethereum loaded. I removed another one that was 44kb and that allowed me to add Doge which is only 2kb. Ledger Live added it to the Nano S and states that it is Ledger Live supported. I hope that helps!

what does the medium size mean? for heights 5'4 - 6'3?
I have the medium and if I had it to do over I'd get the small. I wear a 36w 30l pair of Wranglers. The medium leggings come all the way up my leg and I leave the zipper unzipped about 1 inch at the top, by my crotch. The smalls would probably only come up to the top of my thighs. I'm 5'8" so I'm right in the middle of the medium and at the short end of the inseam. Most things I wear are medium except for tshirts or gloves which are large or xlarge. I hope that helps you figure out the size you wish to get.
