Great portable drive
on February 2, 2018
Posted by: Alan
from Denver
Verified Purchase:Yes
This drive is meant to be portable. I use it for an offsite backup that gets swapped every now and then. You can get much cheaper external drives but they are not meant to be portable and will be prone to failure. The USB 3 speed on these drives is around 95MBps.

Deliver your favorite playlist anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. Control most electric devices through voice activation, or schedule a ride with Uber and order a pizza. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device turns any home into a smart home with the Alexa app on a smartphone or tablet.

Great for commands
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: Alan
from Denver
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for the basement so I could give Alexa commands to control the thermostat and lights. Have the full size Echo upstairs. The sound on the Dot is not impressive, but you have all the Alexa functionality. Dot is great for places where you don't need quality sound or when you have limited space. If you want to use your Echo as a speaker, buy the full size Echo - not the Dot.

Perfect for S2
on October 21, 2017
Posted by: Alan
from Denver
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this cover. I travel hard and need something that is very thin but can take the abuse of travel. First one got damaged but it protected the S2. I replaced it and like them so much that I bought a spare. Most people won't abuse theirs as much as mine, but I can say these are tough and work flawlessly for landscape viewing. Best cover for Samsung S2

Great Receiver

Love the app that controls everything. I have three Yamaha receivers in the house and use one app to control them all. Great Pandora integration. Easy to setup and good setup menus projected to the TV screen.

Google Home
on August 26, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Google Home has the best artificial intelligence. I have both Amazon Echo and Google Home. Home is way smarter than Alexa when you ask it a question. But Alexa is better for home control right now. I use Alexa to control my home security and ecobee thermostat. Don't have support on Home yet. But if I have a question to ask, I always ask Home.

Good value

These bigger cartridges last forever and drive down the cost of printing. Lasers are already the cheapest way to print black and white, and with these larger cartridges it gets even cheaper. Plus you don't have to change them out as often.

Workhorse of a printer
on June 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great little laser printer. Very cheap to run. Fast printing. Very reliable. This is my second one and have had no problems with either. If you print lots of black and white documents Laser is much cheaper than Inkjet. Only reason to have an Inkjet is for photos and color.

Does smart enabled mean that this receiver can receive and transmit a netflix broadcast? No other device is needed?

You need something like a Roku or smart Blu-ray device plugged into the receiver for Netflix. The "Smart" enabled refers to Pandora, Spotify, napster, SiriusXM, Airplay and other music streaming services.

When they make a better version of google home.Can I replace the old when with the better one?

They are constantly updating the software on Home. You don't need a new unit.
