Excellent PC in a Small Package
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: TheStump
So far this computer has more than enough power and RAM to run multiple apps at once with minimal lag. The small design looks great and the built in speakers actually sound really good.
The only issue so far is that it only has 3 USB 3.0 ports and no VGA or DVI port, so only newer monitors will work with this PC.
I woud recommend this PC to anyone looking for a slightly higher than average build in a compact design.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.

I am really enjoying everything this phone has to offer so far! The Pixel is a well built device with a simple and sleek design. It feels sturdy and solid in my hand. The screen is bright and gorgeous. Call quality is fantastic and the speakers are more than loud enough and sound really good for a phone. Tapping, swiping, and typing are all incredibly responsive with zero lag. One of my favorite features so far is the finger print id on the back of the phone. Using my index finger to unlock the phone on the back feels natural and feels like an upgrade from front touch unlocks.
Setup was a breeze. Google has made switching phones easy with the included adapter cable that will transfer all of your important data quickly with no hitches. The phone is quick, apps open and run with zero lag or glitches. I love the Andriod OS, and this is from someone switching from that other OS. I like the email system better, the message system better, the notifications better, and the sheer amout of customization is staggering coming from and OS where customization now seems like it was taboo. And the fact that this phone was made from the floor up by Google just makes things so much easier.
The only negatives I have been able to find is that it gets hot when running hard (not dangerously hot) and the phone is really slick so without a case it always feels like it's going to slip out of my hand.
I would absolutely recommend this phone to anyone. I really think Google has built a phone to contend with the best phones on the market.

Great Suction on all surfaces
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: TheStump
This heavy duty and seemingly well built vacuum works as well as advertised with pet hair, but it also sucks up just about anything else on the floor or in the carpet from food crumbs to small objects without hesitation. I like all of the attachments and have found a use for each one, especially the turboeraser tool.
On carpet, the vacuum picks up the pile nicely and leaves a thicker rug or carpet with a good clean looking finish. The amount of dust, dirt, and dog hair pulled out of the carpet is staggering. The manual carpet thickness adjustment is a welcomed feature as previous vacuums I've had without this feature can be a bear to push through our thick living room rug.
On hardwoods, the same powerful suction is on display and the dog hair flies into the vacuum. It also picks up most other small objects with no trouble, and I've only had to turn on the brush roller once or twice to get something to vaccum up on the hardwood.
The two drawbacks are the weight and the lack of a hose extension. This is a very heavy vacuum, and if it weren't for the decent steering, it would be almost impossible to push around the room. Even then, steering this thing is more like driving a dump truck with no power steering than a sports car. Also, a hose extension would be nice that would allow the user to reach the floor from a standing position when using the hose.
All said, this is a fantastic vacuum, if heavy, and does the job it's supposed to without clogging or losing suction.

Fantastic router for streaming to multiple devices
on May 31, 2016
Posted by: TheStump
Pros:
-Easy setup. Plugged this right up to my AT&T modem/router (AT&T device in bridge mode) and it connected right away with no settings needing to be changed.
-Speedy. This router somehow allows streaming to multiple devices without reducing speed or quality. Our slower internet speeds (15 Mbps down) usually slows to a crawl when streaming video to our TV. With this router, I can stream videos on multiple devices without any noticeable lag. I've had videos streaming on a TV, tablet, and phone simultaneously.
-Very Good Range. The range of the 2.4ghz network is incredible. The reach extends well out into my yard and up the road from my house. The 5ghz range is not as good, but setup gives you this information up front so I wasn't expecting a great range on the 5ghz.

Cons
-Size. This thing is massive and takes up a good bit of space. We call it the spider due to the eight giant antennas. Luckily I have a side table that fits right over it while still allowing for good airflow.

Overall I would highly recommend this router to anyone with a high speed connection looking to stream to multiple devices simultaneously. I think it may be overkill for someone like me as my family only streams to one or two devices at a time but I can't argue with the results it brings.

I wasn't expecting much out of this tablet, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Setup is easy and takes only a few minutes, especially if you already have a google account. Apps are snappy and load quickly, the interface is simple and easy to use, and the battery life seems to be very good given how much my 3 year old has used the built in and very awesome kids zone app.
The Iconia does have a few issues. The screen resolution, while good enough for streaming videos, is definitely not the best I've seen. There is also a decent amount of glare on the screen as well. The speakers are very bad, sounding tinny with no depth whatsoever. The only other issue is the touch screen seems to lag ever so slightly on occasion. Most of the time it's extremely responsive, but every once in a while it will not register a key when typing or click a link when tapped. The touchscreen lag does not happen often enough to really be a deal breaker, but if it starts to happen more regularly, I could see it becoming a real problem.
Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives for this tablet. I would definitely recommend the Iconia One to anyone looking for a basic tablet for surfing the web, basic apps or consuming content online.

Maintains Speed but Range is just Okay
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: TheStump
I received this extender and set it up in the basement to extend the signal from my upstairs router. This extender replaced one that is about 2 years old. Let me stress that my bandwidth is well below what this extender is rated to handle, only averaging about 15mbps download speeds.
Set up is a breeze, and using your mobile phone to set up is super simple. I selected the manual setup vs the WPS setup and setup was still very easy and direct. I also like the slim look of the extender.
Upon connecting to my wifi signal, I immediately noticed how the download speed is maintained better than my previous extender. There was barely any speed loss connected to the extender instead of my router where with my old extender, I noticed a difference. This was, however, sitting right next to the new extender. Moving away from the new extender I noticed that the range is no where near as good as the old one. I drop one bar on my phone's wifi indicator just moving to the next room over (my office) using this extender, compared to no bars lost when connected to my old extender. Even download speeds were slightly lower here.
From here I wanted to test the actual range of the extender so I walked upstairs and outside and immediately lost the signal all together as soon as I stepped out of the garage. So I was one floor up and maybe only 80 feet horizontally from the extender. My old extender would still have a signal all the way out to the end of my driveway. an additional 60 feet easily.
I was very disappointed in the range of this extender and have gone back to using my old one since it performs better extending the signal to my office. Again, however, this extender is supposedly made for higher speeds, which I don't have and can't comment to. I don't know that I can recommend this extender when I know there are others out there that have a much better range. It's very easy to set up and looks good, but unless you're just extending your signal to a single room, I wouldn't recommend this.

Works great and easy to maintain
on March 5, 2015
Posted by: TheStump
Verified Purchase:Yes
Runs quiet, easy to maintain and clean, and there are no filters. I notice a huge difference in humidity in my daughters room when this is running. It really seems to help her breathe easier when she is sick or the air is really dry. I bought a second one for my room and I noticed that I breathe better at night as well. Would highly recommend this for every day use during the dry winter months or when sick.

Great wearable just not for me
on March 5, 2015
Posted by: TheStump
Verified Purchase:Yes
This watch fit well, looked great, the battery had a long life and there are a ton of apps for it. However, it just wasn't for me. I was initially excited about receiving alerts for calls and texts on my wrist, but I quickly realized that the alerts stressed me out much worse than my phone in my pocket and I felt as though I couldn't disconnect from the world as easy. I also quickly figured out that it was not comfortable enough to wear to sleep for sleep tracking. Sure I could have turned off all alerts but then that defeats the purpose of a smart watch. I could've taken the watch off when I wanted to be phone free, but that is no different than taking my phone out of my pocket and leaving it in another room. And with no sleep tracking, I just decided to return it and go back to my old analog watch and phone in pocket combo. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to be connected all the time because it really is a great product.
