Very handy especially for the traveler
on December 22, 2016

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!

This was purchased to connect a second digital monitor to my computer. Yes I could have purchased the big name brand for three times the price but this cable does exactly what it is supposed to do.

I was trying to figure out the best way to mount my soundbar and run across this nifty device that attaches to the tv wall mount. You will need to take the tv off the wall and mount but once everything is back together it looks fantastic. Plan on the install taking about an hour but it isn't very difficult.

I can't speak from a gaming standpoint as I primarily use this for non gaming activities. It is actually the second one I've purchased and they sit side by side. Very clear picture and for playing the occasional game I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Beyond amazing!

Given that I am out numbered by females in my house I also had them weigh in on the Dyson hair dryer. Overwhelmingly everyone was in awe of how well this device worked. It is the better/best mouse trap of hair dryers. Not only does it your hair faster it doesn't singe it in the process of fill the room up with massive amounts of heat. Something that will be nice in the summer. Straightening and curling were unbelievably simple and the controls are placed so that you can make adjustments by touch. When you do make a change it is instant! This would also be a good traveler as it is solid but not overly bulky or heavy.

I am using the adaptive clean brush heads with a Sonicare Flex platinum brush and I could not be happier. These brush heads seam to effortlessly clean my teeth with no discomfort. If you are using any other type of brush head on your Sonicare toothbrush I would highly recommend giving these a go.

No more brushing the old fashion way
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
Up to the point of using my old electric toothbrush, I thought I was doing pretty good. Now that I have used the Flexcare Platinum I realize how inadequate my old toothbrush was. I'm going to start with the use of the brush then get to some of the features. After the very first brushing my teeth felt amazing! Almost identical to when you have had your teeth cleaned and polished at the dentist and this is no exaggeration. A few things to be aware of, when you put your toothpaste on the brush do not turn it on until it's in your mouth. I didn't do this the first time and it shot the toothpaste across the sink. :O Now on to some of the features, this is a Bluetooth toothbrush! It has a base that charges the brush wirelessly. You have an app (free download) that you use while using the brush that tells you things like "Don't move the brush so much" or "You're applying too much pressure". It even keeps track of how well you brush your teeth and when to move on to the next set of teeth. The app divides your upper and lower teeth into three sections each and keeps you updated with progress. It even tells you when you're done or if you need to do some touch up on any areas. Once you have completed your brushing cycle, it will ask you if you have flossed, rinsed or cleaned your tongue not to mention others that you can choose to monitor as the app lets you customize what to track. The app will even let you submit your info to your dentist. I have noticed a considerable difference in the whiteness of my teeth despite not giving up drinking coffee. I will be buying an additional brush for my wife.

Ink!
on November 2, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
Verified Purchase:Yes
If there is one frustrating thing about and inkjet printer it's having to purchase the ink. It feels like I'm buying these things almost every other month regardless of how many pages I print which isn't many. I have started writing the date I installed the cartridge to keep track. Seems over the past year I replace them every 3-4 months but don't print that often? Do they just dry up? I purchased a color laser printer that I have been printing a large number of pictures and it's still estimated that I have about 3000 pages to go before I need to do a refill. It seems as if I'm lucky to get 50 pages out of one of these cartridges. I still use the fax and scan function but when it's time to print I switch to the laser. If I had it to do all over again I would forego the inkjet and go for the laser all in one.

Found a replacement for my Dyson
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
Don't get me wrong, I liked my Dyson but somehow it disappeared from my home. I was hoping to find an alternative to spending Dyson $$$. Having pets and a wife with allergies, a few things I look for are hepa filtration, bagless (I hate the cost of bags), easy to maneuver and not two heavy. The bonus items are no bags of attachments I have to store and it has a few attachments. This vacuum does have all that. On-board storage for the attachments, a retracting hose from the handle hepa filtration and great maneuverability. I just had new carpet installed two months ago so it is not exactly filthy but even after vacuuming with my Shark vacuum this thing pulled up container after container of animal hair and dirt. One really nice feature is the rotating brush is configured so that long hair doesn't wrap around it; magical! Also when you empty the canister, I haven't had to reach inside it to grab stuff out. It all comes out when you hit the release. Great investment!!

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.

How may pages do they print for both black and color cartridges
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.
