Clean without odor
on April 13, 2020
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
More times than not, when using a cleaning solution we've come to believe that unless it has a scent things aren't clean. I prefer to have no scent or odor at all. When I used this solution it got the carpet clean and when all was done, the room smelled fresh; no scent or odor. The lack of scent was refreshing. I know it may seem backward but having clean air without the smell of anything was a very nice change. Great cleaning strength and no residue.

Carpet cleaning made easy
on April 8, 2020
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I have used a number of home carpet cleaners over the years but this Hoover exceeded all expectations! First, it came with everything needed to start cleaning including the spot cleaning solution. Assembly was straightforward and easy, I didn't even read the instructions. No tools were required either. Once together, I reviewed the guide on the different features and containers. Unlike most home carpet cleaners, this one has a tank for the cleaning solution and a separate tank for the clean water. No more wondering if you have enough solution to go with your water, it does it automatically. There is also a small tank for the pre-treat solution on the handle that separates from the unit and allow you to spray soiled areas easily. The sprayer is battery powered so you just pull the trigger and it does its thing. Once you have pre-treated the various areas that need additional attention, it's time for the actual cleaning. Operation is simple, there is one foot release for the handle and there is another foot control for the power. Once you power it on and release the handle, the two roller brushes start to spin. When you push the unit forward, a display shows that it is applying the solution, when you pull back the display changes to show it is extracting the solution from the carpet. No triggers to pull or over saturating the carpet. If you decide you'd like to just do a vacuum of the liquid there is a button on top that will switch the unit to "Dry Only" so no matter which direction you go in it is vacuuming and not applying solution. After doing my living room and multiple area rugs, the cleaning was exceptional. The pictures show a before and after cleaning of an area rug.(sorry about the shadows) Drying time was above average probably because it is not over-saturating the carpet like I use to do.

Exceeds all expectations!
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
Have you ever had an idea what to expect from a product and when you used it it went well above all expectations? This vacuum did just that. If you have ever used a Dyson product you will know that the quality is always top notch. Setup is simple and you can be up and running in no time. Once you unpack all the parts, everything is very intuitive in getting setup. Although the battery had a charge, I still put it on the charger for the recommended time. The manual says 3.5 hours however it was fully charged in just over an hour. My first use was on Berber carpet and it powered up and did an outstanding job. Without taking my finger off the power I moved to a tile floor. The vacuum automatically adjusted both the motor speed and the rotating brush head for the new surface. It cleaned the tile floor with ease. Suction power on this small vacuum meets or exceeds a full sized stand-up. There is a display on the top that provides a readout showing what mode the vacuum is in, Eco, Auto or Boost along with battery level and filter status. The wall mount is easy to install and when you place the vacuum in it, it starts the charging process. The included attachments are easy to swap out and makes cleaning upholstery, stairs or a car interior simple. Lastly, depending on what power mode you're in and surface you're cleaning expect the charge to last anywhere from 20-60+ minutes. Overall this is a fantastic product! Does Dyson every make a bad product? I have a variety of them and all are amazing.

Worked surprisingly well
on March 18, 2020
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I'm always skeptical when it comes to "stain removers" because they usually only work on a "few" stains. I had a pet stain that never seemed to go away with other cleaners but this one took care of it. I also had a spot in my carpet that was done with a black indelible maker and to my surprise, it took care of it. For the record, the marker had been on the carpet for several months. I also didn't detect any residue or odor.

Nice electric shaver
on December 4, 2019
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I have tried a number of electric shavers in the past with mixed results. The issue that I run into is that I hate razor stubble and the ones I have tried in the past did not shave close enough for my liking. After using this razor for the past couple week, I am very pleased with the results. I now have a shave with an electric that is pretty close to a bladed manual razor. The bonuses are I don't cut myself shaving and I can use it in the shower. It is pretty straight forward as electric shavers go. It does have a pop up trimmer for taking care of sideburns and around ears, etc. There is a display panel that keeps you informed of the battery charge. For the record, I charge it once in two weeks and only lost one bar out of three. I'm please with the shaver and will be using it for the foreseeable future.

Very nice and compact

from Lees Summit, MO
When I remodeled my bar area I did not want a full sized microwave but something that could quickly heat up well, bar food! This is a nice compact microwave that blends well with the environment. Although it is in the bar area the kids and grand kids will periodically use it as well. One of the best features beyond the easy controls and all the presets is the soft close door! Yes no more slamming of the microwave door which is like fingernails on a chalkboard annoying. Yes you can get cheaper microwaves however the convenience of the preprogrammed features is well worth it in the long-run. The standards include popcorn reheat and defrost but how about one for a potato?! I have reheated food and cooked in it and it seems to do a better job than the bigger one. I don't know if it has a "smart sensor" but I don't get the rubbery texture that you get when cooking some things in the microwave. Excellent choice and when it comes time to replace my other microwave I'll be looking at the Breville.

If you have a need or desire to keep track of your BP this is an excellent cuff to do it. It sync'd with my phone (iPhone X) and also has a display on the device that provides you with a readout. What's really great is that it keep a running list of the times you have take your BP and what each result was. I can now provide an accurate list of my BP over time to my doctor to help him with his analysis.

Amazing Sound!
on October 18, 2019
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit
These speakers were replacing a pair of 8" middle ceiling speakers on a 7.2 surround sound system. They were easy to install with the hole template that were included. A word of caution to watch out where ceiling beams might be. Once the holes were cut the speakers fit perfectly and the secure push wire connectors are as easy to make the necessary connections. Once installed I tried a variety of digital music, TV and radio and all sounded phenomenal! Bass was rich, mid range was clear and highs were crisp. With the ability to adjust the angle of the speakers independently you can make tweaks to the direction of the sound in your room.

What I've been looking for
on July 18, 2019
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I have been looking for something that would help me monitor my sleep patterns. Yes, my watch will do this however this is also the same time that I have it on the charger because the battery is at 10% by the end of the day. I was initially skeptical about how this would work and would it make my sleep uncomfortable. As it turns out, I don't even know it's there. It slides in between the mattress and the box-spring/foundation. For the record, I have a memory foam mattress and this works like a champ! Once you get it in place, plug in the included USB adapter and then go to your mobile device to download the app. Once the app is installed and the initial configuration is complete, it will let you know, the only thing you have to do now is go to sleep. I wake up the next morning and pull up the app and it shows me how long I've slept, my average depth of sleep; Deep, REM and light and how much I had of each. It also shows if you had any interruptions during the night, how many and when. It even has the ability to show how long it took you to fall asleep. And if you snore, guess what, it will let you know about that as well. I don't know how it does this but it is quite amazing! What I really love about this is once it is installed, I don't have to do anything except go t sleep! If only they could do something similar for exercise!

Nice camera and easy to setup

from Lees Summit, MO
I have a number of cameras around the exterior of my home but there are some places it is just not easy to run both the power and a BNC cable to hook up a wired camera. This little gem lets me connect the power and then monitor via the app wirelessly. What was even more surprising was that I can connect it to my home network via an Ethernet cable. Picture quality is very good and the response time is very fast. Overall a very nice camera. The only complaint that I might have is that it does not have integration with any of the typical home automation kits.

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.
