Significant improvements

So I have been rocking the 'Plus" models ever since they became available. I like the extra screen realestate. I had been holding on to my 6sPlus for almost two years and was hoping to hold out for the 8 plus but alas the 6s plus died so i had to upgrade. The 7 plus is a great phone, I like the processing power and the battery life.

Can't complain! No need too....

So let's just say I have tried lots of methods to cutting the cable cord. Many meet with various levels of success. As far as I am concerned, the amazon fire stick is the best of the bunch. The entire streaming process is still not as simple as changing a channel, but I like the fact that I can talk to the remote. I like the various providers that are available. I like that I can watch most stuff on demand. Now if it only had a DVR feature! But alas it does not so only 4 stars.

extremely happy

So I bought this Eero mesh wifi system to replace a brand name [rhymes with Elkin] that I had for less than a year. It was a high end model and kept dropping service. Finally I had had enough when I had out of town guests staying and they couldn't join the next work with out it crashing. I have over 60+ wifi devices on my network with all kinds of smart devices. This Eero system was exactly what I needed! Easy to set up. Quick to install. The app I downloaded was super intuitive and let's me monitor and make all the network adjustments and security I need. It has been in place for 2 months and has worked flawlessly. I am very happy and would highly recommend it to my friends. In fact, one of my friends went out and purchased one based on experiencing my set up. Way to go Eero.

Best safety money can buy

So these installed very easily. Instructions were great and very clear. Set up was vice prompted and super simple. I am very happy that I can get a voice prompt instead of a blaring alarm. Also I can check on the status while I am away. The motion activated night light is one of my favorite features.

So I was headed out on the trip and I knew that I wanted to use my go pro on a selfie stick for taking pictures in the water. I also knew that I wanted to be able to use it to do some landscape photography the backpack is a must. I have a hero silver three and this product works wonderfully. It was very easy to set up and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. The menu system was very intuitive and I liked the battery life.

A home run by Bose

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have looked at those headphones for many years, but admittedly the price point is just so much higher. I have listened to different sets, I have listened to noise canceling headsets and I've always liked the product but never wanted to spend the money. But when they came out with a wireless Bluetooth set I was hooked. I've use these on several trips on the airplane and literally you have no idea that you're in the airplane, other than the cramped quarters, the no food policies, and people touching you all the time. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, the battery life is incredible I use them on a five hour flight to Hawaii and only had the power drop to 70%. Programming them to your phone is a simple procedure, and I also like the fact that I can connect to other devices as well. So I can have them connected to both my iPad and my iPhone or my laptop and my phone.

Finally!

Verified Purchase:Yes
So have I have been wanting a home automated locking system for quite some time. If the price point is just too far out of the average persons reach. When Best Buy had this particular model on clearance I decided to jump at the chance. I was amazed at the ease of install it took about 30 minutes maximum. That included programming my phone and my wife's phone. The downsides of this product is that sometimes you have to have the app open for the lock to work other times you don't have to have the app open, and I can't figure out which time is which and why. Other times The app can be open and it still doesn't work. There are definitely some bugs that need to be worked out. I would say that the battery life is excellent. And I really like the system when it works. And I would say it works about 60 to 65% of the time. The one downside from my perspective is that it only comes with two software keys that allow two users to use their cell phone to open the device, it does not allow more than two unless you pay for them and after having paid for the device I think I ought to have more than two software keys available to me. The other downside to this product is that you must have blue tooth turned on all the time otherwise you have no control of the lock at all. Have the product work more than 65% of the time and I would recommend it.

So I have a lot of insignia TVs around my home and I have always been impressed with the overall quality inn picture and in usability. I purchased this particular model for my son in college. The thing that I liked the best about it was the number of HDMI inputs. As a college student they have lots of HDMI devices, their computer, there gaming console, a Blu-ray player, and sometimes to gaming consoles. It was easy to set it up and have him on line ASAP.

Amazon hits a homerun

So when I first read about the echo I was super excited and signed up right away. Now that Amazon has had time to perfect and come out with the second-generation., I am even more in love. It's a great product, I love all the applications that it syncs with. I bought five One for all the major areas in our home. I use it as the Smart hub to connect all my smart devices around the house including my Thermostat my lights and several monitors. It's great to be able to walk into any room and ask for a song to play or to turn on the lights and have it happen with just my voice.
