Ten Times better than Wii-U

Amazingly improved graphics on existing tracks, the new tracks will blow you away. More importantly-the new battle mode is incredible. I thought I'd be disappointed, as I had Mario kart for wii-u, but all the new items + ability to play on the go with my SWITCH. Make this a must have game and an immediate hit for NINTENDO.

Best battlefield game to date

Verified Purchase:Yes
A very in depth game with a ton of variety. I've only played campaign as I assume online is similar to all battlefield games. With the variety of battles and wars to choose from you can't go wrong with this game. I got this game well after its release on sale for $39 it's so good I'd had paid full price. I'd say 13 and up is age appropriate. Minor language and blood.

Great personal tax tool with all the updated tax codes. Business tool good for basic bookkeeping, but limited. You'll still need a cpa for anything beyond a sole proprietorship.

What I like-
Easy setup, no wires (except for base station to your router), syncs 10days of footage to your phone, and quality of hd footage is decent day/night, arlo app is easy and free on any device allowing you to view your footage from anywhere-without an expensive subscription(unless you want more than 10 days-as footage cycles out. I like that you can turn on/off all cameras from the arlo app, view live footage from the app and keep an eye on things with ease(as long as your batteries don't die,mine last about a month, cameras with light use can get 2 months) I like that all my outdoor cameras survived harsh Chicago winter with ease.

What I don't like-
Batteries run down quickly, had to buy rechargeable kit at Amazon, because Best Buy didn't carry. Also, you have approx. 800-1000sq ft to link to base station before you lose sync, this was no good for a third camera I purchased over my garage as it was too far from the base located in my basement, I don't like that there's a delay in the footage, approx 5-10 seconds. You can request "live" footage but then batteries really drain and it's more of a "look in" as you can't record live footage using the arlo app. It only records 10-15 seconds when triggered by any motion. A windy day and camera picked up grass blowing in my yard and set my phone arlo alerts off so much I had to turn camera off.

Overall for the price and no monthly subscription, the three arlo cameras serve the purposes I need. Which is 100% to keep an eye on all my entry points at home, while I'm gone. These cameras could work for business with low foot traffic, but otherwise you'd be changing batteries every 3-6 weeks and unhappy with delayed footage. Not sure if the newer arlo pro version addressed all these concerns? Hope this helped you-

Bought 2 plug additions. Took less than 15 minutes to download mobile app, plug in lights to outlet and wallah we had voice/mobile activated lights. Very handy when coming home to dark house or when we're away from weekend and want lights on to appear home. The ability to set timers, turn off and on and move the outlets to any area of home is well worth the price. App is free too. Had these since Christmas and 100% recommend if you own Alexa.

Great, but some quirks n kinks

Family of 5 and now 6 with Alexa. Seriously she adds another element to our family entertainment and smart home utility. Kids play games with her, like 20 ?s, jeopardy, riddles, jokes, and daily Easter eggs. While the adults like smart concerts, sports highlights, news briefs and all the things your "Siri" can do, by more. Like turn on/off your lights, coffee maker, tv, and whatever else you hook your smart outlets to.(sold separately)
Now for the "Alexa bugs." More often than not, we find ourselves repeating commands. Attempted fix, by using voice training multiple times in areas we are most when aroud Alexa. Saw minor improvement. We also wish the command to increase or lower volume was more efficient. Shouting "Alexa, volume 5 multiple times after a song you liked was at volume 7 or higher is annoying. We've learned to manually adjust her volume at the base which we can do with our old stereo?
I was curious how Alexa would respond to 5 different voice patterns. Surprisingly , once she hears her name and the command prompt, she responds correctly 89% of the time.
My wife tells me I'm cheating on "Siri" and "Cortana" as "Alexa" has quickly won my heart and my kids as well. We're glad we went with this, not the dot or google home. If you plan on making voice purchases as commercials advertise, careful- your kids might order 50lbs of cookie dough as Alexa doesn't recognize who's voice is ordering it. Overall, the gimmicks wear off, but we routinely enjoy smart concerts and our smart light system. soon we will be asking these robots to do our dishes, laundry, cook, or whatever else humans don't feel like doing. Hopefully I see this unfold in my lifetime- Brunsch

We had the smaller altec wireless speaker. Upgraded this to float in our hot tub at night. Solid sound and easy sync to any phone/tablet. You'll be happy with this wireless speaker. Have it 4 because battery life could be longer.

Love the color-and grip in back. Same functionality as other x1 controllers but love the color option so my two younger boys know which controller is Dad's. No Cheeto finger-greasy-nasty hands touching this blue beauty. Microsoft needs more color options!!! This is fantastic.

Fam of five and a dog-use this 2-3 times weekly. Multiple functions are great, powerful suction from such a compact machine. Works great on our hard wood floors + stairs + bedroom carpet. Not sure how this would work on longer-heavier carpet, but amazing for what we have. Baggless, reusable filter painless to empty. This machine is very intuitive-trusting the brand name "Hoover" for durability and longevity. For 2 months use during heavy holiday traffic in our house we're very happy with this purchase.

Doesn't replace live video

Posted by: Broncos777

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like that its wireless and super easy to setup. From start to finish installing base router + two cameras it took me just under 2 hours. Would have taken less if cameras worked at original angles. Leading into what I don't like.
I didn't like that camera best picks up motion from the side vs head on. Creating slight challenge when placing cameras. I also don't like that the camera records 10 seconds of motion, which is delayed by 3-5 seconds. You can make up for this by loading the app to view live motion, but the alerts you get on your device are only 10 seconds. I need at least 30 and can't find adjustments in settings.
For roughly $100 per camera and the simple slwireless setup, this product will serve its purpose, as I use it to know when kids are home while I'm at work. The mobile app and alerts sent to my phone when motion is triggered & being able to turn/on and off with my smart phone is intuitive. I just wish it had a few more features on capturing more than 10 seconds of delayed motion? Perhaps that's what you get if you sign up for Arlos premium monthly subscription. From what I gather, the subscription just gives you more than 7 days of stored motion recording. (Which the average user doesn't need)

Squad up and breach in to explosive 5v5 PVP action. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege features a huge roster of specialized operators, each with game-changing gadgets to help you lead your team to victory.
Does this game have a single player campaign? That is, a story driven, character based campaign that can be played offline?
It has 11 scenarios which get progressively more difficult as you proceed. Each scenario also teaches you all the strategic military options you have to sieze or protect your object. If you’re solely looking for single player mode, this isn’t a game for you, you’ll be board in 4–6 hours.z

Can you program echo to speak in desired voice...........eg, could it speak in the voice of the computer HAL from 2001 Space Odyssey? Thank you.
No-Alexa has boring voice-similar to Siri, but younger and wiser.

Can the cameras be adjusted to sensitivity regarding pets , animals in yard, realated to motion detecting?
No, it's a motion camera. Mine goes off when even a wasp flys in front. You can manage the camera from your phone. Turn/on off as you see fit. With 3 kids and 2 pets I put my cameras on a schedule I don't expect motion.

Photos to I phone
Can I see pictures on my IPhone in real time that the camera is seeing? Do these cameras ping the IPone to let you know something is moving around in your home?
Yes, I have Arlo send me alerts via text and email when motion is detected. Careful it's got a 2-5 minute delay.

Three of my cameras are picking up motion, however the 4th camera will not pickup motion unless I stand directly in front of it. How high up would you recommend placing the cameras and at what angle should I have it pointed to pick up motion?
I found its best to capture motion from angle vs head on. I had same issue with my back porch camera. Height doesn't matter, my camera is at waist level.

Can they be easily stolen?
It looks like they are not "securely" mounted, that they simply stick to the wall via magnet. Could someone just grab them and walk away?
Yes, they are simply hooked up by a strong magnet. If you can't install high enough to avoid theft, consider buying an Arlo skin cover which helps camouflage the camera to its environment. I had to buy a brown one for my porch. Unless you know what your looking for the average person wouldn't see my porch camera.

Do wireless cameras like this slow down your internet?
Does using these slow down your internet speed?
I worried the same, if you have over 50mbps you should be fine. If concerned increase your speed. I have 1tb but need that terabyte for we have family of five with all devices, gaming and movie streaming + Arlo. No issues on my end

can the camera be connected to computers
You can view and control from any mobile device or computer. You use Arlos website or app which requires sign in to control your camera and view 10 seconds of motion it records at one time.
