Small and fast

This is a durable little portable HDD that has fast speeds. My only complaint was that I had difficulties setting it up as the back up drive for my laptop. I had difficulties using Windows utility AND I had difficulties using Western Digital's proprietary software (it's a relatively new laptop). I can't say it wasn't user error, but I'm normally able to figure things out and I was unable to. I only mention this in the event you are using it as a backup, I'd make sure you know that it works. As a standalone portable HDD however, you can't go wrong.

Fantastic sound, light and comfortable and simple
on March 26, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
I'm going to start by saying these are some great headphones. Not just gaming headphones, but headphones. They are some of the lightest headphones I've ever owned. And they sound great. And I love, love, love, the pull out microphone. It is so nice to be able to hide the microphone when not in use. The microphone picks up my voice well, I've actually gotten some compliments from friends that they can hear me better (when compared to my Turtle Beach headset). And the braided cable screams of quality.
My biggest gripe is that they aren't more versatile (i.e. wish it had 3.5 audio jack). These are USB only, and while they work with PS4 (and well!) they don't work with Xbox 360, One or PS3. I own all three and now have three different headsets. I'm still waiting for my one headphone to rule them all.
What I don't like is the size of these headphones. While they're light, they are rather bulky and you can't fold them up. They also don't come with a carry case which would have been nice. I also don't like that you need to run a separate program (Razer Synapse) to take advantage of the surround sound. I'm no computer engineer, but I'm confident it's because the program processes the surround sound.
All that needs to be said is that these are great sounding headphones and simple to use. All you have to do is plug in the USB and you're ready to go (except you'll need Synapse to enjoy surround sound). the bass is tight and the clarity is terrific. When playing Bioshock: Infinite I could hear all around me. And did I mention they're comfortable? You feel like you're not wearing any headphones after a while. Other headphones either get too heavy or the headband is too tight and leads to headaches.
These are great for gaming, listening to music or watching movies. But just know that you'll need a PC (or PS4) which almost rules them out for travel (which is a shame) but I imagine that doesn't really matter because if you're looking at this review and thinking about buying this headset, you are going to be using them for PC gaming almost exclusively.

Light and convenient but has its flaws
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
In my opinion, Dyson has become known as the end all be all in vacuums. I'm not claiming they're the best, I just mean it in the sense if I ask my mom, she's convinced they are. Much like how Bose became the audio quality standard for noise cancelling headphones. They're also like status symbols; the commercial shows a woman pulling her handheld Dyson off the wall in her kitchen as if it were a fashion statement or piece of art on the wall.
I've never owned a Dyson and was excited to give this one a try. I like the idea of having a cordless vacuum that's light with a lot of power. And while this vacuum meets those standards, it's flaws (along with it's steep price) keep it from being the best stick vacuum.
Putting it together was easy, the instruction manual includes lots of pictures to help explain how to put it together, maintenance, etc.Note that you do have to charge it 5 hours before using it.
The dock is optional, but I wouldn't want to plug it in manually each and every time I charge it. So that means I'd use the wall mounted dock, which leads me to my first gripe: location.
Unlike the aforementioned commercial, I don't want the Dyson attached to a wall in my house for all to see. I have a small house and didn't have an option of putting in a closet, so it's in my garage. It's not a huge problem for me, but I would take into account the fact that you'll almost "need" to mount this on the wall before you purchase it. And the power cable isn't very long, so it will need to be right next to an outlet or you'll have to find a work around.
The docking station leads me to my next gripe: location for the attachments. This vacuum comes with a long extension tube (to use upright) a large motorized attachment brush, a small motorized attachment brush (for when you aren't using the long extension tube), skinny angled attachment (for corners) and two other brushes. The dock holds two attachments and the vacuum would have another attached to it (I keep the large motorized brush on it). But it comes with 5 attachments. So now I have to keep track of 2 attachments that don't attach to the dock. What am I supposed to do with them? This vacuum is too expensive not to have a docking station that can accommodate all of the attachments.
In regards to performance, it is pretty good. The battery lasts 40 minutes according to the box, but that's with he motorized brush. Without the motorized brush it lasts 25 minutes. If you were to put it in "max" mode it would last 7 minutes. I don't use Max mode because honestly, I couldn't tell the difference. I have hardwood floors with some area rugs and two cats. The Dyson did a fantastic job picking up hair etc on the hardwood floor and couches, but it was absolutely horrendous on the rugs. The motorized brush would just stop working. The only workaround I came up with was to get the brush spinning in the air and take a running start with the vacuum on the carpet and hope it keeps spinning.
I also don't like that there's no option to keep the trigger pulled. It's really easy to maneuver the vacuum but I hate holding the trigger for an expended period of time, why couldn't there be a switch that kept the trigger "activated?"
All in all, it's a good vacuum. But it's tough to recommend for the price. On the one hand, I love being able to use a powerful vacuum without cords, and is super easy to maneuver. But it's performance on carpet leaves much to be desired. It also bugs the heck out of me that not all of the accessories fit on the dock.
If owning a "Dyson" means a lot to you and you can afford it, this is a great vacuum, but you could find cheaper alternatives with similar performance (more bang for your buck).

Fast modem but bulky

Verified Purchase:Yes
A router is a router. Assuming you get one that's compatible with your Internet Service Provider, the next thing you should look for is the design. I keep my router/modem out in the open so I prefer one that looks good. This Netgear router looks fine but it is rather large. It's meant to stand up, but then the coaxial cable is plugged in, it actually pulls it backwards on the back of the base. So I lay it flat. If you have your modem hidden and standing it up is no issue, then this is a great modem. But if the area where you will be putting the modem is limited (i.e. low height on a shelf) than you will need to take that into consideration.

This is an entertaining movie for children. I only watched parts of it, but my son demands to watch it on repeat. So while I can comment on it from an adult's perspective I can say it's a hit with kids.

Easy yet complex, but magical when it works

Verified Purchase:Yes
Logitech has cornered the smart remote market in my opinion. The devices are simple and easy to use when they work. But you have to have some tech know-how and patience to get everything running. And when things don't work as planned, you need to know how your system works. I have an Apple TV, Chromecast, PS4, Xbox One all plugged into my receiver. I also have basic cable. So when I hit the Activity button and say the receiver was already on, then the Home will turn the receiver off. It's as simple as logging into the phone app and going to Help to turn the receiver back on (or getting off the couch and doing it manually).
The app seems complex at first (only because there's so many options) but it really does a great job of walking you through everything. I would definitely have the model numbers of all devices you want to add (video game consoles not so much, but you need to know TVs, receivers, etc.). You add all your devices and then create activities where the Logitech remote sends an IR signal (and Bluetooth in some situations) to tell each device when to turn on/off and what input. It takes some time to set up the first time, but it's well worth it. And once you create a Logitech account, upgrading to a new remote is dead simple; you just log in.
I've never had an issue with placement of the Logitech Home, but my entire system is out in the open, but you may want to think about placement (there are IR extenders you can plug into the Home, it comes with one with the possibility of adding one more). This remote is basic, but the battery lasts forever and I don't need a screen. BUT, I will say that this remote does NOT allow you to troubleshoot, so if one of your activities gets messed up and something goes to the wrong input or doesn't turn on, you need to open the phone app. For me not a big deal, but should be something to consider if you're not one to have your cell phone handy when watching TV.
Lastly, the Amazon Alexa integration is a plus. Voice control when changing Activities is just plain cool (but entirely unnecessary).

Meet the unrivaled, everyday noise canceling headphone for people who want to keep it simple. Hesh ANC is engineered with just the right amount of added features to make your life a little easier without a lot of additional technology that you might not need.
Do these headphones have a mute button and how long is the battery life if using for office calls?
I don't think there's a dedicated "mute" button on the headphones, I didn't find one, so it will need to be controlled from your phone. I never measured battery life for calls, but I've used them for calls (they sound good) and listened to hours of music over the course of a couple of weeks (of and on, not every single day) before having to recharge them. I feel pretty confident you could go a full day of calls without the battery dying.

is there a storage container for the blades with this one or separate?
Unfortunately, there's no storage for the attachments which is a bummer. Obviously there's space in the container for one (where I keep the sharp chopping attachment) and I keep the shredding/slicing disc in a cardboard container that it came with for the packaging.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Can I use this to turn off my lights while I am away from home? Also, do I get the starter kit and then multiple bulbs or do I need to get a box thing for each room? Thanks so much
Yes, you can turn off your lights from your phone (via Google Home app) when you are away from home. You don't need this starter kit per room unless you want multiple Google Home minis throughout your home (I have several) but obviously the number of smart bulbs (should you want them) will outweigh the number of Google Home minis you need. In other words, one Google Home mini could control all of the smart bulbs you have in your house. You would just need to be within earshot of that one mini when asking Google to turn lights on and off. For me, I keep one Google Home on each floor of my house

Does this ssd works on MacBook Pro
Yes, I installed it in my 2012 Macbook Pro. I would find a SATA cable, plug it in to your Macbook and clone your existing HDD, use a small Phllips Head screw driver to remove the bottom plate, unscrew the mounting bracket, insert the pegs from your old HDD to the new SSD using a torx screw (very small) and put the plate back on and that's it. Very simple and painless process
