Fantastic Floor Cleaner
on September 15, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this cleaned our vinyl flooring. The vacuum sucked up dust from several inches away, and the cleaning solution seemed to do a good job of cleaning up water spots. My wife and I used it to clean up before we had a small group meeting at our house, and it was one of the quickest floor cleanings we've had since we've moved into the house.
The one negative there is about it is that the cord is not quite as long as I was expecting. That's a personal preference, though, because it was still usable, and there is less cord to wind up at the end of a cleaning session.

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.

Great Alternative to Apple Chargers
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
This combination charger is a fantastic alternative to having a lightning and Apple watch charger on my nightstand. This gives my space a much cleaner look, and I can keep the original watch charger packed up for nights away from home without having to remember to unplug the long cable behind my nightstand.
This has one power cable that allows power to an adjustable height lightning adapter, and the Apple watch magnetic adapter to the right side. My only real complaint would be that the plug (power adapter) is huge, and has to be placed just right on a surge protector or on a wall outlet.
There may have been instructions in the box, but they were unnecessary. The scroll wheel on the back that raises and lowers the lightning adapter was clearly marked, and it was just a matter of one plug on the back for the power adapter. This is a great buy!

It includes a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM that deliver powerful processing to play all your games and apps, and the 16GB of flash memory ensure this Acer Iconia One 8-inch tablet and store your files.

This tablet is primarily used to let my 4 year old watch movies. I've installed a 128GB MicroSD card, and the video looks amazing. I encoded the movies in H.264 and use VLC to let her watch them.
While the speaker isn't great, using headphones with it is perfect.
One of the only things I miss in this product is the ability to have profiles to log into, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. The way I understand it, there are apps that you can download to accomplish that purpose.

Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
It took a little work to get this extender working correctly. The fast setup instructions did not work for me. There are manual setup instructions that worked well.
When I'm sitting on my back porch, this extender really helps me out with a strong connection (vs. the weak connection I had without it). While the speed isn't as fast as directly to the router, I don't have to worry about losing a connection when I'm streaming out there.
My biggest problem I have with this device is that when I'm in the house, I will have a faster signal when connected straight to my router, but often I'm closer to the extender, so my phone will automatically connect to it instead of the router. I've learned to work around the limitations, so overall it has helped me out greatly.

Biggest Router I've Had Yet
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
While I thought I already had the best router you could buy for home, it was lacking in a few key areas. This router made up the difference and much more.
With a wife and three daughters constantly streaming video online and my gaming, sometimes they'd complain about the video quality dropping on their videos or I would have problems with lag and buffering gave me headaches.
In the short amount of time that I've had it, I have not made any changes to my service speed, mostly because I've had the highest offered for a year and a half, and the only real change I've made is that I removed the wired wireless extender I had on my network. I've had no problems at all.
As far as installation goes, I removed a switch that was right next to my original router because this one has 8 LAN ports, as my last one only had 3. Don't be like me and plug both ends of one cable into the router... it will not go into configuration mode. It took me a good 15 minutes to figure that out, mainly because I didn't pull all my cables out from behind the shelf they were hidden behind.
As soon as I unplugged that cable from the router, following the included install instructions went flawlessly. I have not used this router to its full potential, but I look forward to putting it through a few more paces. I will definitely update this review if I find any flaws.
If you're looking to upgrade to this router, I strongly suggest that you look at the size vs the size that your current router is. There are no mounting brackets on the bottom, and it takes at least a square foot of horizontal table or shelf space. Personally, I think it is worth the real estate, but you should know this before you buy it.

One problem, but ...
on November 19, 2014
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
from Winnie, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought two of these. After very easy installations, I noticed that the downstairs thermostat had a horizontal white line going across it. I was in the middle of getting ready to move into the house, so I didn't do anything about it for a week or two... the thermostats still worked, but the white line was a little annoying.
Once we moved in, I called Nest customer support. They emailed me so that I could send a picture of the problem, and he acknowledged the problem while I was still on the phone with him. He sent me a replacement within a week with a prepaid return label, so I could send it back by FedEx without having to spend any extra money. I did have to give a CC# just in case I didn't send the replacement back, but had no funny charges to it since then... about 2 months ago.
The thermostats work very well. My favorite part is being able to check the temperature and setpoints without having to get up off the couch or even being at home. If we're away for a few days, we can get the house cooled off or warmed up before we get home. My wife had a little trouble figuring out how to manipulate the controls on the Nest itself when we were having WiFi issues, but I've fixed that.
With the ability to manipulate different things around the house wirelessly, these devices are going to cost a little more up front, but looking at my electric bills over the past few months, I am very happy that they are much lower than we estimated... about 60%.

High-energy neodymium magnets, 30mm drivers and multi-layer dome diaphragms combine to provide serious sound quality, while swivel earcups add collapsible convenience-making these headphones a perfectly portable companion to your iPod or portable MP3 player.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought two of these for my two older girls for car trips, etc. They are very happy with them. Ear buds that come with devices these days are annoying to kids, and these alleviate that problem quite well. They have not complained at all about them being too tight or anything... and believe me, they would complain if there was anything to complain about.
I take that back... they complained that I didn't get them two different colors, but that's mine, not Sony's fault

Protect your equipment from power surges with this 8-outlet surge protector that features an 890-joule rating and network and phone line protection. EMI/RFI noise filtering shields against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

For a battery backup system with surge protection, this device seems to fit the bill. I don't expect it to run my computer for long during a power outage, but hopefully it will keep me from dealing with data loss when the power goes out.

does it support AT&T Digital life and its Nest devices and thermostats that are attached to the system ?
I did not see AT&T in the potential to link accounts, but I did link my Nest thermostats. The Nest link works very well.
