Great accessory for a great phone.

It's slim, it's OEM fit. It works. The LED is cool but a little over rated. It helps when on silent mode to see if the caller is someone you need to speak with but it's hard to see in bright light. It doesn't interfere with curved scree protectors either.

Excellent Stereo Phone Headset for Work
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
My second one in 4 years - I burned out the battery in the last one. I tried replacing it with a cheaper unit and no luck. This is the headset for being on the phone all day or hours long WebEx sessions. The battery life is long the comfort is good and you can still hear what's happening around you. Also, nothing is a substitute for a boom mic.

Very good as a stand alone camera for the house.
on June 12, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to add one more layer of security - catching the event on camera. It works very well for this purpose.
Pro's:
The wide angle can see my front door, sliding glass door, and down my hallway. The quality of video is very good. The night vision is very good. The motion sensor is customizable so you can see events that are "big enough" to warrant recording. The sound is very good. I like the monitoring features too - but it's kind of a fluff feature. The fact that it looks more like a bluetooth speaker than a camera is a nice feature too. Easy to pair.
Con's:
You can't record to a network connected or cloud drive (or any other method but their service) - but none of the cameras in this range have that feature it seems. The air quality sensor needs t be calibrated which is hard to do when the outdoor air quality is very poor to begin with. No ability to access the camera from a PC - only your phone / tablet.
Neutral:

The phone app is ok and could use some improvement.
All in all it is a good device and meets my expectations - and caught my son sneaking snacks in the middle of the night (funny). Now he talks to the camera to tell me what he's doing.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.

Does the job - it's a cord.

Obviously good quality and long and flexible enough . It's a range cord folks- nothing fancy or cool here but it does the job and does it well. Always replace the range cord when you get a new unit.

Excellent Range Hood
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I roast my own coffee which produces a tremendous amount of smoke and on high this unit pulls it right up and out. The four settings makes a great variety to match the kind of cooking your are doing. Install was easy enough if your handy and have done this kind of thing before. My house has a goofy set-up for exhaust from the range hood and it still went together easier than I thought it would. On high it is very loud but it's an ok trade if you need to vent lots of smoke or steam. Low and Medium settings are fine and 3 i still reasonable. The finish is great. The lights are ooo at best but until someone makes LED's that can withstand kitchen heat we're stuck with halogens. It doesn't come with the lights FYI.
All in all just what I was looking to get.

Very quiet, cleans great, lots of cycles.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This dishwasher is extremely quiet compared to my previous one. The wash cycles options are great. The 1 hour wash actually WASHES dishes. The automatic and normal are excellent. The heavy duty does the job as well. Stainless interior means cleaner and nicer for longer. The racks are well designed and the silverware caddy is great with individual sorting of flatware if you need. The fingerprint resistance works. It was a breeze to install (I've done a few before and this was easy the simplest. It's also lightweight and easy to maneuver if you are a DIY person. Solid product.

Quality Range with good temperature control
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been watching this range for a while and when the appliance sale happened I jumped on it. The finish is nice. The control panel is plastic - of course, it has to be for the buttons to work. The stainless finish is nice and the textured glass top is also nice.
Ovens - The upper oven runs a little hot at pizza temperatures, probably because the air flow isn't good in a small size like this. At cookie and roll temps it's right on. It pre-heats super fast as well.
The lower convection oven is awesome. It too heats fast and when using the convection the even nature of the cooked product is excellent. Two roasts, pork ribs, and all sorts of other items and it's working great.
Cooktop - The versatility is great. one small/ large burner, two small burners, a medium one and the warming center. Temperature control is better than any electric cook top I've used. The medium burner is also dual control. One for fine discriminating of temperature and the other is a high intensity control which boils water phenomenally fast.
All in all it's well worth the investment and the dual ovens come in handy when cooking for larger groups.

Powerful Laptop at a good price point.
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good mid-range gaming and amateur video editing laptop. At this size and weight it's more of a portable desktop that can move from location to location but that's the way it's used so it's great. The specs are all good and it was a slam dunk buying decision when it went on sale.
Pro's:
Fast quad core I7 processor with hyper-threading.
Fast and roomy 256GB SSD for quick application launch.
7200RPM 1TB spinning drive for mass storage at reasonable speeds.
GTX 965M video card specs about the same as 960 desktop card.
17in screen and lots of available ports.
12GB memory out of the box

Cons:
Plastic body identical to Pavilion series in quality so - eh.
Battery life ok at best (big screen eats it up).
Lighted keyboard could be brighter.
Already on clearance? Really?

Trully, though, for the sale price you couldn't match it. Too bad HP is speccing down to a 1050 in the new version. It keeps about the same performance but that's kind of cheap in my opinion.

Carguy1969's Questions
Carguy1969 has not submitted any questions.
This ground loop isolator integrates into the OEM system of your vehicle to eliminate ground loops for quality audio reproduction.
Does this device need power? I can't see the specs to see the power voltage and how to connect.
There's no external power source. It connects in-line and has a filter loop inside that gets rid of the ground loop. It's old school and works great. When you're sound source and your amplifier are separate but on the same power connection you can get ground loops through analog connections without having a bad ground. This fixes it.

Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband: This heart rate and activity tracking wristband is built to capture your movements and health patterns all day long. Easily monitor your heart rate so you can maximize your workouts, learn about your sleep quality and monitor progress on your goals.
HR Fitbit
i submitted a question asking why My Fitbit needs to be charged daily, I already had it replaced.The answers submitted said to charge daily. This defeats the purpose of wearing daily. It stays fully charged for 12 hours and then says medium battery Then next twelve hours goes to low battery.
Really it's all about how much of the features you use and how often it syncs. I have almost all the features running except text and call notification and I get 2 days between charges. If you disable all the syncing and the resting heart rate monitor you will get 4+ days with it. Advertising 5 days battery life is puffery at it's best. If it sat on a manikin's wrist with no bluetooth on you might get to 5 days. One day seems pretty extreme though. I charge every two days whether it needs it or not because the battery use varies based upon activity.

Constructed from aluminum material, this Insignia™ NS-PCHD235 enclosure helps protect your 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive against damage, allowing safe external use. The plug-and-play design facilitates setup.
what is 2.5 inch?
is that the actual disc size? or the housing that contains the disc. my housing measures 2.75. not sure the disc size. the description on the housing doesnt state the size. as well doesnt state sata or ata. does state HDD.
It's the housing. It accepts standard SATA (serial ATA) 2.5" drives - either SSD or spinning. The enclosure is slightly wider than the drive so it slides in easily.

How many GB of storage does the device have?
This is an empty enclosure and you fit any standard 2.5" hard drive or SSD into it. It comes with the USB cable and the SATA adapter (in the front pannel) to connect the drive to your system. It's bus powered so you don't need any power cord.

My hard drive doesn't slide into the enclosure easily. Should I return my product?
I bought this product for my Macbook Pro hard drive, and I can't get the hard drive into the enclosure easily. I don't want to force it. The peg on the side of my hard drive runs into the rib on the inside of the enclosure, and it won't slide easily in. This is only the case on one side of the enclosure. Is my enclosure defective, and should I return it to the store?
Sometimes laptop drives still have the factory spacers on the sides to fit into the assembly. You should be able to unscrew them from your old drive (2 screws each side) and then it should fit. It will slide in easily with a small bit of open space on each side if it's correct.
