Game console and then some
on March 28, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had a PlayStation since the first version came out years ago. I was happy with my PS3 but decided to splurge and get a PS4. I am not a hard core games but will play some sports games and a few others. Graphics are amazing, sound is fantastic and the box itself looks pretty cool. Opting for the Pro version I hopefully have future proofed as much as possible when it comes to game consoles.

Another Great Dyson Product
on March 15, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
After being without a Dyson vacuum for several years, my wife traded in my Animal on another vacuum, I was excited for the new ball. I love the automatic height adjustment so I don't have to figure out which setting to use for different carpets or wood floors in my house. From the beginning, it is pretty straight forward to assemble. Like four things click together and you're ready to go. I like the integrated hose and attachments so everything is always with me and not in a separate bag in the utility closet. Performance wise it is what you would expect from a Dyson. I had new carpet installed about six months ago and it does well with 72oz frieze carpet. The one problem was with the 78oz pile that is in my bedroom. This carpet is extremely thick and deep and the auto height adjustment has a problem with it and the brush will periodically stop depending on the direction of the carpet and the direction I'm pushing the vacuum. It did get through it but it was a bit slower process. If you have rooms with very dense and deep carpet this might not be the vacuum for you. For everything else including the hardwood floors it was great!

Seems that 9v batteries are going to be pricey no matter what so at least these seem to last in my remotes and smoke detectors. I just change them every year. It's just easier

Enjoy delicious coffee, tea or hot cocoa any time you want with this coffeemaker. The 2.4" color touch display makes seeing and changing settings simple, and a 70-oz. water reservoir means you'll be refilling less often.

Almost gave up on Keurig

Verified Purchase:Yes
Over the past 10 years I have had way to many Keurig machines. If it hadn't been for my wife I wouldn't have this one. I have to say, so for this one has been great. Cool touch screen and hasn't missed a beat on brewing. It also has the ability to brew a carafe which the others could not.

Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.

Exceeded expectation
on January 26, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I have used a number of different brands of headphones over the years some cheap ones that were pretty good and some expensive ones that I realized were way overpriced. In the past when I'd get headphone I would take them out of the package, plug them in and go. I actually read the instructions with these and I would recommend you take a couple minutes to do so. It did make setup go smoothly. Have them paired with my computer and phone and all works as it should. Sound quality is far superior to others I have spent equal to or more on! I would say they are in the top two for sound. Call quality is just okay but then again I didn't get these for the purpose of facilitating conference calls. The heart monitor is a plus and seems to work as it should. I haven't found any that are always spot on. During workouts, they stay in my ears! And they do this without the excess pressure on my ears from some that I have tried. If i have one complaint it is the difficulty of changing the ear pieces. Maybe my fingers are too big but it took more time to change the ear pieces that it did to get them configured. Overall I would definitely recommend these for anyone who needs a pair to use during their exercise routine.

Nice product for a predominantly wireless home
on January 14, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
This product is intriguing due to its simplicity of setup and the ease at which you can expand your coverage. unlike a range extender that will us it's own SSID these tie together and expand a single SSID which makes connecting devices seamless. The setup was easy however I was a bit nervous that I had to disconnect my current router which i have to say is phenomenal. The current setup is a Linksys EA 9500 and a range extender. It has great throughput but it has to cover three floors of approximately 1500 feet each so when you get to the third level wifi becomes dicey which is why I have an access point connected to the router. The router is also located in a network closet where all wired connections terminate. There are 38 LAN drops and most are used. Things that are important to me are throughput (I have a gigabit internet connection), the ability to reserve LAN IP's (two servers, alarm system, etc) and good VPN and remote access. Whenever possible I use a wired connection but don't have reservations about going wireless when necessary. So far the Velop has performed well although not to the standards of the previous setup. For most this would probably not be an issue but I do put a consistent load on my router.
Setup was easy and painless and took about 5 minutes per node. It is literally plug and play, just follow the instructions on your phone, yes you use a wireless device to set everything up. Everything auto configures so even a novice to networking could have it up and running in no time. Once setup was complete wifi worked like a champ. Since I used the same SSID as before all the wireless devices connected without issue. One of the first things I did was run a speed test I did this from both the app and from a web browser. I am see very different results. On the app it is showing 800+ Mbps down and 900+ up. The browser is showing <100 down and 600 up. In either case it should not be a problem but I would like to understand the delta. Overall though the system is function as described and looks great. The nodes actually look like little pieces of art so that is a bonus.

Very handy especially for the traveler
on December 22, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
As a traveler I am always looking for devices that will help keep my devices charged when I'm on the road. For those of you who have an apple watch know that you will get a full day maybe a little more from the battery. I also get tired of dragging a bunch of cables with me. TSA gets upset sometimes when you just shove a bunch of cables in your carry-on ;) Enter the power pack. it's pretty slick looking and not too big for the job. It is a little on the heavy side but understand it is doing double duty charging both your phone and watch. And it does a very good job of this. Put your watch on the wireless charge and plug your phone in, press the power button and off you go. I haven't timed how long it takes to charge but it seems that it is right in line with any other wired charger. Overall, if you travel and have a apple watch and phone this is a handy accessory to include. I wish I would have had it on my flight to London!

Well worth the investment!
April 15, 2011
I recently upgraded my desktop for my business to a 6 core AMD Phenom II processor and figured my 4 GB of memory would be enough. Although performance is amazing it just didn't seem to be where I thought it should be so I swapped out the four 1GB sticks for four 2GB sticks. Of all that's holy this things screams now! I have yet to come close to maxing out memory or CPU utilization even while burning a DVD, streaming video from the net and working on a presentation; 8% for CPU and 19% for memory.

5 out of 5Ditch the cable company's modem
By LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
After finally getting frustrated with the modem provided by the cable company I decided to get my own. Of course they asked why since I wasn't paying to lease the one I had. Well their own speed tests confirmed I had throughput of about 9Mbps on a good day when I'm paying for 20Mbps service. I swapped out the old modem with the Motorola, called them with the MAC ID and was up and running in a matter of minutes. Of course the first thing was to perform a speed test, the same one that I used before the swap. 20.6Mbps! Not only is my internet connection substantially faster but the built in WiFi has a better reach than my previous router AND the home network runs faster since I've eliminated a piece of equipment; stand alone router. My home network is used quite extensively too; 3 cell phones, 2 ipads, two laptops, 1 desktop, 2 home servers, 2 gaming consoles, 4 Blu-ray players, 1 stereo and a security system. This router/modem hasn't missed a beat yet!

9 month update
February 10, 2014
In all fairness I feel it is necessary to post an update to my previous post. First, 90 days after I installed it the WiFi would drop and not reconnect until i rebooted the modem. This normally would be that big of a deal except my home automation and alarm system run off the WiFi connection. When WiFi is lost for an extended period the security system will alert me with a continuous beeping until I deactivate it; even at 3 in the morning! Took it back and exchanged it for another thinking I may have just gotten a bad apple. Unfortunately that was not the case. Four months later the newer one started doing the same thing. There were times even rebooting would not solve the problem. As nice as it would have been to have one device that did the job of three, this was not it! Even the wired connections were beginning to run slow. I had upgraded my Time Warner to the 100Mbp package and was getting about 25 in most cases. Back to the store (yes I got the extended warranty) and I decided to go back to two devices. I went with the SB6141 which is basically the same device without wireless and routing. Plugged my Dlink DIR-655 wireless router into the 6141 and haven't looked back. The concept of an all in one device is great but the execution was well below expectation. One other thing, the interface used to configure the modem is basic at best. Most features are either on or off and some you just can't configure. Overall I would not recommend this product after using it for just under a year.

Only at Best BuyYou love the sleek lines of your PlayStation 4, HDTV and Blu-ray player. Your entertainment and gaming setup is stylish, modern and full of awesome power. The only part that might detract is when you need to replenish the power of your DUALSHOCK 4 controllers. When you add this Insignia™ Dual Controller Charger to your gaming setup, you'll be able to recharge up to two controllers in an attractive way. Plus, the compact design enables discreet storage for your DUALSHOCK 4 controllers.
Will this charger operate on US voltage (120) and European voltage (220). Sony says that their PS 4 charger will.
You would need the appropriate adapter to use outside the US. It does not show it is 220 compatible.

I have never done an actual count of pages but it would change based on what's being printed. Printing a bunch of 8x10 pictures may use more than printing a low resolution logo. Don't expect much more than 25 8x10 pictures on average.
