Nice security addition

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife bought this for me to install at our daughters house. First installation was completed in about 15 minutes, but the doorbell never found the Ring network to connect to.. Called tech support and after going over everything determination was the Power Kit which gets installed in the existing doorbell chime was defective. Off to the store to exchange it and got lucky as there was only one left on the shelf. Second installation completed and this time the doorbell found the network and we were able to complete the initial install/setup. With everything set up on her iPhone we were impressed with the adjustable video capture area which helps prevent the doorbell from picking up cars on the street and people on the sidewalk. When she's at home you can hear the slight delay from the time she talks (living room couch isn't far from the front door) until it comes out the speaker on the doorbell, but not a big deal.
Overall impressed with how easy the install went other than the bad power kit and the video quality

Great Camera for outdoor use
on June 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
We've been buying the Olympus tough cameras for several years now. This was an upgrade from the TG-830 as we wanted the WiFi option to move photos from the camera to the phone for posting on social media. First weekend with the camera was at a hotel using it for photos in the pool as well as on their lake while kayaking and paddle boarding. Takes great pictures underwater in the pool.

Works great with dual 24" monitors
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
My desk has a cork board back and the clamp mount didn't reach far enough back and it has two cable ports, but both are near the sides of the desk so I drilled a hole through the desk surface as close to the back edge as possible. Mounted up the monitors, then ran the cables and this thing is rock solid and easily adjustable to my needs.

Amazing Picture on both 4K and Standard HD Content
on March 30, 2017
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
We upgraded from a 65" HD set to the new UHD/4K curved screen. It took a while to make the decision since there isn't much 4K content other than DVDs and youtube videos to take full advantage of the picture quality, the deciding factor was the day the sales rep took me over to a display that was showing a BluRay DVD side-by-side on two sets, one a standard HD set and the other an UHD/4K set where the TV was upconverting the picture. There was definitely a difference in how vibrant the colors were on the 4K set, so we said lets do it. After getting everything set up we sat down to see if it was just the way the two sets were configured in store or was the standard HD picture just as good at home. After two months we're still impressed with the picture quality and I've become a youtube UHD/4K video junkie.
No regrets/buyers remorse on this purchase at all!

Great sound / Low Profile
on March 30, 2017
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife decided to replace our old oak entertainment center with a new darker wood unit and we decided to upgrade our TV to a new curved screen 4K set at the same time. Our old center channel sat on a shelf under the TV with the components in a tower on one side. The new unit the components were under the TV requiring the speaker to sit on the same surface as the TV and our old speaker blocked about 4 inches at the bottom of the screen. This speaker was the perfect height to sit in front of the set, right between the legs. I wasn't sure if we'd be sacrificing any sound with the smaller drivers in a smaller enclosure, but after getting everything hooked up I have to say I was impressed. The voices during movies were just as clear if not even more so and when switching over to 7 channel stereo music was just as impressive.

Works Great!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a Valentine's Day gift for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The thing she commented on the most during the first week was how light it felt while using it, which is due to the motor being lower in the handle instead of up in the main body. This equates to better balance. It moves plenty of air, but is much quieter than the unit it replaced and she says the controls are easy to operate. The magnetic connection for the attachments is also first class.
We like to travel and the size also makes this a great space saver. The only drawback for us, if there is one, is that it isn't dual voltage. Then again these days most hotels provide a blow dryer in the room so it wasn't a deal breaker.

Top Notch
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decided to go SLI and upgrade my 750W power supply at the same time. Originally wanted the 850W G2, but it had been sold out for over a week. Decided to go to 1000W. Impressed with the quality of not only the power supply and cables, but even the packaging was top notch. You get a nice case/bag for the power supply (does anyone take the supply out of their PC and take it somewhere where they'd need this) and another one for all the cables you don't use. Installation was easy and this unit is much quieter than the old one.

Upgrade to an older Braun toothbrush
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
Been using an,older Braun toothbrush for years, but the battery is starting to go. Saw this on sale and decided to upgrade. Red light comes on if you're applying too much pressure (I was). I also like that the charging base is separate,from the brush head storage so it takes up less space on the counter and the travel case is a plus. Says a full charge will last 10'days. Not sure if I care about the Bluetooth and app brushing data but may have to try it at some point.

Upgrading from Blacx USB 2.0 Single Bay Dock
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: Johnk
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already had an older USB 2.0 single bay dock and with the 2 bay dock on sale decided it was time to upgrade. Simple install and immediately recognized the dock and drive. Even came up with the same drive letter.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is the old dock had a metal base and was a little heavier. It may not make a difference in the long run, it overall it just 'felt' like a better,build.

Does the camera float or can you use a floating strap on it?

The camera does not float but you can buy a floating wrist strap for it. Highly recommended for any water other than pools.

Change the look of your iPhone 7 with this OtterBox Symmetry phone case. The scratch-resistant design stands up to regular use, and the durable construction provides added protection against life's little accidents. With its single-layer setup, this OtterBox Symmetry phone case is easy to slip on and off of your phone.
 

Wondering if the front of the Otterbox Symmetry Series Case for Apple iPhone 7 is opened or covered with a clear cover? If it is covered, I would like to replace it with the other item. Please respond to my email as soon as possible. I need it soon.

The Otterbox Symmetry case does not include any type of screen protector/cover

Preserve memories with this Olympus TG-4 16.0-megapixel digital camera that captures sharp photos and 1080p videos and lets you share them via Wi-Fi. The rugged design resists water, freezing temperatures, crushing force, shocks and dust for durability.Memory card sold separately.
 

How do you change the Battery on the Olyumpus TG-4 or the Olympus 860TG?

Spec's do not say rather there is a charger,but is a rechargeable Battery
The TG-4 has a compartment that opens up to access both the memory card and the battery. Replacement batteries are readily available and easy to swap out. There is also an external charger which allows a battery to be charged separate from the camera. I've never owned the 860, but my TG-4 replaced the SW720 and it used the same battery/charging system
