I expected more

My house is loaded with automation. HUE, Belkin, HomeKit, Alexa, etc. This was BY FAR the most difficult component to set up. There are special (unclear, non-intuitive) instructions for that latest IOS and no concept of auto discovery. Hate the fact that I need the app on my phone to control this - and that integration with my other products is so insanely hard. It’s cheap - I get it. Spend the extra money and save yourself the trouble. (Yeah, it works - eventually. Be ready for frustration).

Simple way to get started

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this starter kit for an apartment I was furnishing. I am already a HUE user with a significant investment in their lighting tech in the main house. The new, HomeKit compatable bridge is beyond simple to install and get running. Lights turning on and off from both Alexa and Siri totally rocks.

Acrobat has come a long way...

I was one of the folks who didn't want to get started with 'yet another software subscription' but I have to admit that I use this almost every day.. The on the spot editing is super convenient and as Windows provides no native tools for this, It's a needed add on.

Amazing Blender
on December 3, 2017

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's loud. But this is the most amazing blender I have ever owned. This has a place in any serious kitchen and seriously puts those 'dime store' blenders to shame.

Clean your carpets more efficiently with this Rogue robot vacuum. The intelligent mapping helps the device navigate quickly through your home, and it has a tri-clean system that agitates, brushes and uses suction to ensure a thorough cleaning. This Rogue robot vacuum returns to its base for recharging when the job is done.

I’ve resisted getting a robotic vacuum for some time, but when I saw that Hoover had entered the market , I had to know more. This little guy cleans my entire apartment floor like a champ. Super easy to set up and clean.

Nice, affordable laptop
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
from New York, NY, USA
I’ve always been impressed with the value and affordability of the Inspiron line, and this Dell does not disappoint.
- The screen is amazing. Big and bright. Tablet mode is a big plus.
- the setup experience is wonderful.
The only con I have here is that it’s a tad on the heavy side. I’m not sure I would want to travel with this, but for occasional transport or commuting, it’s fine.

Exactly what my 10.5 Pro needed
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: perlfox
from New York, NY, USA
Putting this in perspective - I have 3 keyboards for my new iPad Pro, each with its own pros an cons. For this review, I’ll stick the the Brydge.
Pros - the most stylish keyboard I have.
- easy to type on, comfortable
- not needing anything to prop the screen up is a hue win.
Con - (just one) no back protection for the iPad - but Brydge had mentioned that they are working on a solution or that...

Love the ‘stiff’ hinges that allow the iPad to stay at any angle without a ‘kickstand’. Completely worth it.

Great router - even for non-gamers

Doing this review as a non-gamer who needed a faster router. Setup was a breeze. Connections were fast and reliable. I have had a few Linksys routers over the years, and this is by far the best.

Watch your favorite show on this 40-inch Sharp television. It has composite and USB inputs and three HDMI ports that let you connect multiple devices, and its DTS TruSurround provides clear, natural sound and deep, vibrant bass. This Sharp television has a 60Hz image refresh rate that ensures smoother video.
When I turn the tv off a red light stays lit on the actual tv, is this normal when the tv isn't in use or should it completely go off?
The red light stays on, and is just bright enough to be annoying.
