Easy yet complex, but magical when it works
on March 11, 2017

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).

I like Jeremy Ritner, but Matt Damon is the original and made a fantastic comeback in this movie. This is a must have for action movie fans

Highly Recommend for 4K TV
on February 14, 2017

from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already had an Xbox One, but upgraded to the One S so I could enjoy my 4K TV and I was left impressed. The picture quality is astounding (assuming you have 4K TV). For me, that was enough to justify the cost, since it was cheaper than standalone 4K players. An added plus is that the power brick is FINALLY gone.

I think you either like Star Trek or you don't. This film wasn't received well critically, but I found it entertaining and loved the continued story of the characters from previous two "reboot" films

Great protection, but not a lot of room
on February 6, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This item will protect the headset and the headset only. There is no room for the extension cable from headset to processing unit (you can jam it in there, but I personally wouldn't). I don't see it as a travel bag, although it can be one, since it doesn't carry all necessary VR accessories, but I consider it essential protection for when you aren't using it.

Makes you feel like a wizard
on January 31, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
The premise of this switch is fascinating, control your lights remotely and in some circumstances, with your voice. I recommend you get, or either own, Amazon Echo or Google Home for the full experience. Other than having the ability to turn lights off remotely (say when you're on vacation) the real magic is being able to turn on/off the lights with your voice.
The set up is pretty straightforward. The installation is easy if you have any do-it-yourself know how. You just need to turn off the power to the switch and unscrew some screws. The one big caveat is the white wire (when you get the packaging you'll know) but you are required to have a white wire (neutral) in your switch box for this to work. It's my understanding if your house is less than 20 years old, you should have one. Mine were unused and wrapped tightly in the back of the switch box.
Once it's installed, it's pretty easy to setup., You download the app and run through it's pretty straightforward set up. The app is clean and easy to understand and for the most part, the set up was painfree. Although I did get hung up on connecting it to Wi-Fi, but that was before I realized the importance of the "white" wire.
Once set up, I linked it to both my Amazon Alexa app and Google Home app and voila. Voice activated lights. All I say is "Hey Google, turn the lights on in the kitchen" or something close to that, and Google turns the lights on.
Of all smart home tech, I put lights at the top of the list of must-haves, right below thermostat.

Great performance but large
on January 27, 2017
Posted by: callmeageeth
from Louisville, KY
If you've had a Ninja blender before, you are in for a treat. This model outshines the performance of any previous versions (I know because I've previously owned two Ninja blenders). The blending jar is huge 88 oz, I haven't made anything large enough to fill it up, but it is nice to know I can make margaritas for a large crowd. I love the timer on the blender, not necessary, but nice to see how long it's been on. The buttons on the machine itself all have a purpose. That is to say it's not overly complex.
The one complaint and it's a big one, both literally and figuratively, is that the base is large. The width and footprint doesn't bother me as much as the height. Combine the height of the base with the height of an 88 oz pitcher and you have a large blender taking up your counter space. If you have cabinets above your counter top where you'd place the blender make sure they're high enough!! I didn't and can't keep the pitcher attached to the base but in a separate cabinet.
I do like the separate "titan cups" which are similar to a Nutribullet. The powerful base and blade combo whips up frozen fruit and makes smooth as silk smoothies to take on the go in no time. I would recommend this device based on the titan travel cups alone.

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.

The Ninja brand has been a leader in kitchen appliances delivering innovative products for decades. Now introducing the Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor—make food prep easier with its power, intelligence, and versatility. The 1000-peak-watt motor and preset programs chop veggies, shred cheese, and make smooth sauces and cookie dough from scratch—all at the touch of a button.
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

Does this remote work with Xbox one?
Yes, sort of, depending on what your asking. The remote itself doesn't control anything but commands to the Logitech Home. But yes, the Logitech Home does turn on my Xbox One S. I've controlled a Blu-Ray before but must admit I haven't tried to navigate the console menu.
