Unlike the cartridges for my other printer that has a two letter acronym these seem to last a bit longer and have just as good print quality! They also tend to be cheaper.

I had one that was almost identical that someone cracked the removable bowl. Got this one and it goes great with the kitchen appliances and the features were easy for everyone to learn.

Finally an extender that works
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
I have tried a number of different ways to get my wifi signal stronger on my second floor since the wifi router is three floors below I get an okay signal but it can be hit an miss. What I liked about this extender is that it will also work as a wired access point. Since I have Cat6 run throughout the house it was as simple as plugging the extender into an outlet and the network cable into the extender. I did the wireless configuration on my iPhone web browser. Less than 5 minutes later I was able to connect my wireless devices without a problem. I now have AC speeds and a full signal. One suggestion is to name the wifi network something different from your main network primarily so you can more easily isolate problems should the arise.

More than enough for most homes
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: LSNerd
Before I go into the details of the device I want you to know what I have been dealing with. I have been using Google fiber for the past year and love the service. The WiFi not so much. It is basic at best with a lot of dead spots in my home. Two stories with a full walkout lower level so, so three stories on the backside. This afternoon I installed the router and one recommendation is to follow the instructions exactly. This device has a lot of features so it is best to go through the manual first especially if you are not very familiar with a router. When I say feature rich it is no exaggeration. Everything from DHCP reservations to setting up a vlan is pretty straightforward. As for the basic setup, I would recommend connecting a computer directly for the initial setup although you can do it via wireless, including a phone or tablet. Once you get to the actual setup it pretty much does it itself and allows you to change the SSID and password from the initial setup. If you have devices wired make sure you restart them so they will pick up their new IP's. Total setup time was about 30 minutes and that is partly because I forgot to reboot computers. As for features, it has 8, yes 8 gigabit ports plus enough antennas to talk to the ISS. The web interface lets you connect from anywhere and the support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz on both the primary and guest networks is nice. If you are looking for an absolutely amazing router look no further.

Great printing color
on August 6, 2015
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
These cartridges provide great printing quality for everything from black and white to photos. Two complaints; first is how much ink is used to calibrate and or clean the print heads and secondly how quickly you go through ink. I've actually starting putting the date on the cartridges so I know when I replace them how long they lasted. I do much more scanning and faxing than I do printing and I'm lucky if I get 3 months out of a set. Even the XL's don't seem to go that far. Seriously looking into a color laser. At least then I know I'll get upwards of 500-1000 or more pages before I have to do a refill. Right now I'm lucky if I get 50-75 pages before the cartridges are empty.

Amazing graphics

I bought this card because I want to take advantage of all the real estate on my two 24" monitors. My old card would display on two monitors but I had a black border around the edge. No longer. The graphics are clean and fast and use the full screen on both monitors at 1920. I don't game but may start.

Pleasantly Surprised!

After just three years my Harmony 1100 shot craps. I started looking and was surprised to see so few of these types of remotes available at least that weren't in the same or higher price neighborhood as the 1100. I saw the Smart Control and was a bit skeptical about how well it would work and if I would like not having a touchscreen. Once you get past the setup which isn't intuitive, I'm shocked at how well it performs. It doesn't matter if I'm using my iPhone 5 or the included remote, the system is responsive with no lag like I encountered with the 1100. Now the only question is about longevity. One nice thing to point out is that all the settings from by 1100 were imported so I did not have to setup all the equipment or activities. Everything functioned just as it had in the past.

Replaced the HD in my new laptop with this one. It was extremely easy. It even came with the software to clone the existing drive. It did not however come with the cable you need to do it. Can't fault the drive for that. I have a home server that I will probably be replacing the drive with SSD's very soon.

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.

Yes it does. It's called the cold shot and is located on the handle right by the power. It's a good location that you can hit with your thumb when needed but not accidentally hit it.

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.
