Fantastic Range and Speed!
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
This Velop system is fairly easy to setup. Download the Linksys app on your smartphone, load the app, and follow the instructions it provides. I had the whole system running in about 15 minutes. All the settings for the system are done through the app. It would be nice to have access through a web browser, but for now, the app is the only way. The coverage of just one of these Velop satellites is impressive. I put one in the basement, one on my main floor, and one out in the garage. Having all three going at one time is probably overkill in my situation, but hey, I'll never have to worry about my WiFi being out of range. The only thing I'm not really crazy about is the lack of Ethernet ports. I have A few gaming systems and a TV hardwired, but had to give that up for this system for now. So far no real issue with speed or lag, but would prefer them to be wired. Also, I have the Xfinity Blast Pro internet package (150/20Mbps), and I get to utilize every bit of that and then some with this Velop package. Impressive.

Perfect for Work or Travel.
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
I work 10+ hour days. My phone is always streaming music or podcasts via Bluetooth to help the day go by. This really takes a toll on my battery. Having this charger handy makes me not have worry about running out of power. It also works on my watch. I usually don't have an issue with my watch running out of power, but it's there if you need it. This Valet Charger usually lasts me the week at work. I let it charge overnight, and then I'm good for about another week.

Having owned other Shark products, I was expecting a great quality vacuum, and this one did not disappoint. Great suction, versatility, and ease of storage. I have two dogs and a cat, so vacuuming every other day is a must. This vacuum makes getting about 750 sq ft of carpet done a breeze.

Best I've Ever Used
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
This is by far the best hairdryer I've ever used (and also most expensive). My wife loves it. She gets her hair done on a regular basis, and is always concerned about over drying her hair. This dryer is awesome. It constantly measure temperature so it doesn't burn the hair. Not only that, it much more quiet than conventional hair dryers.

Excellent!
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
This router is a monster in both size and performance! I'm upgrading from a Netgear R7000, which has been good to me, but the WiFi range was lacking on the 5GHz channel. This WRT3200ACM fixed the WiFi range issue, and the performance is amazing. It comes with features like guest network, parental controls (which works awesome for teenagers), device prioritization, and my favorite, VPN! Initial setup is easy, and the user interface is straight forward and easy to use. The addition of the Smart WiFi app makes making changes to the router very simple to do. The only drawback I can see from this router would be the size, but you have to consider all the performance packed into this machine. One thing that may help is that the rubber feet look like they have been provisioned to be able to wall mount this unit, which is the route I'll be attempting. I can't say enough good things about this router. I'm very happy to own it.

Impressive.

These are some of the best sounding over the ear headphones I've heard. These are super easy to pair up with any Bluetooth device. Once paired, the "touch" controls on the right ear piece are stellar. Think touch screen. Noise canceling works great, and palming the right ear piece allows you to temporarily pause whatever you are listening to, as well as the noise canceling, to be able to talk or hear without having to take them off. One issue I generally have with over the ear headphones is that when I'm wearing glasses, they can become painful. That is not the case with this set. The ear cups are super soft and block a good portion of noise even before NC is activated. One small issue I noticed is that there is a slight bit of lag with the Bluetooth when using them for gaming on my PC. Attaching the cord solves this issue, but obviously are no longer wireless. One last thing, make sure to have them powered on if you are using the cord. You can use the cord without powering them on, but the sound quality is nowhere near as with them turned on.

It Really Sucks!
on September 22, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
I have two dogs, so I'm constantly vacuuming after them. This machine is a beast. The suction it has is amazing. I have a deep pile carpet, and this machine handles it very well. I have an older upright from another brand that starts with "D", and I feel this machine out performs it in almost every aspect. It's extremely versatile, and its very maneuverable. It easily gets under beds and furniture. It also worked really well when using it to vacuum out my truck with the attachments. I have about 750 sq ft of carpet, and I have to empty vacuum 2 -3 times when using it. This is the only drawback of the machine, but it's not that big of a deal.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Does what it's supposed to
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
I got this to charge my iPhone and my apple watch. It does what it's supposed to. It charges both the watch and iPhone at the same time, and does so fairly quickly. I like the fact that the lightning connection is adjustable and is able to accommodate many different cases. The base has a bit of weight to it, so it's not likely to tip over. One thing I wasn't crazy about is the length of the power adapter cord, which is short in my opinion, and the size of the plug, which is a bit bulky. It does supply adequate power, so I guess that is why it's so big. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

Solid Performer.
on July 3, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
Let me start off by saying that I normally use mid to high end gaming laptops with quad core processors and SSD drives. That being said, this laptop is a solid performer.
The startup is acceptable, and loads quickly enough into Windows. Not too much bloatware, just a handful of programs, and a couple are actually useful. I was impressed by the screen. It has an excellent picture and great color, and can be viewed at almost any angle without losing quality. I barely use the touch screen, but when I tried it, it was very responsive. The back-lit keyboard is a huge plus. I won't buy another laptop without this feature. My daughter used it to play some games like Terraria, Minecraft, and Castle Crashers, and this laptop handled them with ease with high setting @ 720p, but I don't see this machine being able to handle titles like COD, or Battlefield, even at low settings. The shell of this laptop is fingerprint friendly, meaning, they don't show up, a nice plus. On top of all this, it's very lightweight.
One thing I noticed, and didn't care for was when Windows was downloading updates, the laptop was noticeably laggy. It took considerably longer to open programs, browsers and load pages. I have 150 Extreme internet from Xfinity, so I'm pretty sure it's not my internet. I think this is due to being only a dual core processor.
Overall, I'm impressed with this laptop, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid non gaming laptop with touch screen ability.

Not bad for a starter tablet, NOT pocket size
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: kwilks3
Being new to the Android operating system, I was a bit concerned about learning a new OS, but that quickly went away after using this tablet for a few minutes. It was easy to navigate. Everything is straight forward. The speed at which programs loaded is acceptable, but most smartphones now-a-days will out perform this tablet. One thing I really don't like is that you really do need some form of antivirus and/or malware protection. Thankfully, there are plenty of free trials out there, but eventually you'll need to pony up and buy one.
Upon receiving this, I noticed a couple thing immediately. It is NOT pocket size. It may fit easily into a backpack or purse, but in no way a pocket. And if you somehow managed too, it feels flimsy, to the point where you know it would probably break. There is no auto dimming feature. The on-board speaker is weak sounding(poor quality), and doesn't get very loud. Even with headphones plugged in, the sound is still low quality. Also the camera is not the greatest, but I didn't get this for the camera.

Unfortunately, no. It has an integrated Intel HD 520 with no dedicated video RAM. If your looking for a laptop to play those titles, look for one that come with at least and Nvidia GTX 940M. I believe to upgraded version of this laptop comes with that option.
