Great feature set for the price
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: redderr

First I have never used any prior version of this software but must say it is very fun and addictive to use.
As we all are using Social networking more and more, Adobe is making videos even more easy to share on Facebook and YouTube and other sites. Features like dynamic collage, with greater ease of focus on people and faces, ability to use special effects across multiple clips, adding and timing soundtracks to videos, and so much more.
Premiere Elements works with something called Organizer, a companion helper application that helps to assemble and manage all your photos and videos in one interface, giving both the photo and the video application access to all assets.
I love the Premiere Elements Haze Removal which helps to cut through cloudy, hazy backgrounds to let the sharp, clear color of sky and other parts of the image shine through to boost clarity of the scene. This sort of correction comes in super handy for almost any video shot during the day, where light and weather are an issue.
The software allows adding audio to your original videos using the Remix feature. This feature allows you to choose any music file you own and match it precisely to the length of your movie with a simple drag and drop. The application can read through the song and then trims and cuts with natural sound and transitions to just the right length as long as your video is a minute or more in length. Really great.
Another great feature to me is that Premiere Elements allow you to turn a still photo into a pan and zoom movie by letting the applucation find each face while you adjust the amount of time and space the camera spends on each person.
In Organizer you can mix up to seven still photos and videos to generate a dynamic Video Collage which gives you a single composite video to share with friends or on your social networks.
I think for the price, features, ease and speed of application on my laptop that it is a great buy.

Fast setup...superior whole house coverage
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
Super fast setup and useable right out of the box with pre-set broadcast IDs for both 2.4 and 5Ghz. There is a slew of settings available either by visiting linksyssmartwifi.com or the routers IP of 192.168.1.1.
Some additional pluses are you can forgo the Linksys admin interface and go for the Linux-based open source firmware like OpenWRT or DD-WRT, which open up more options and secure feature sets. I opted to just use the plain old linksys firmware.
In my house setting of about 3,500 sqft with the proper placement of the router, you should be able to deliver more than enough bandwidth to each connected devices. Wireless coverage is remarkable and extensive. I had coverage all over my house and extending into outdoor areas without needing any of my prior extenders and powerline devices. I never got any lost or dropped connections and always rock steady. My wireless devices displayed 3+ bars even into my unattached garages.
Some technical stuff: The Tri-Stream 160 technology delivers extreme Wi-Fi speed that seems never to lags.
One of my 4TB External hard drive connected via the USB 3.0 port delivered a write speed of about 90Mbps and read speed of 118Mbps.
One of my 4TB External hard drive connected via the USB 3.0 port delivered a write speed of about 90Mbps and read speed of 118Mbps.
And so in closing, this is a beast of a router in what it can deliver for simultaneous demand - especially in relation to speed on the 5Ghz spectrum, and in reach for the 2.4Ghz band.
Another big plus is ease of setup, screw on the 4 antennas and plug it in and your basically are ready to go with customizations to come as you go along. This was a pleasure to setup.

GREAT BUT TAKE OFF HALF STAR FOR NO SD SLOT
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
First the phone comes with 32GB and before activation or extraneous apps you might install later, you have approximately 22-23GB free. I mention this because there is no SD slot and so you must rely heavily on cloud storage.
The camera is fantastic especially in low light conditions. The screen clarity is out of this world but the one caveat is the brightness even at max is a bit weak in very bright outdoor conditions but still more than adequate.
The screen refresh and touch screen sensitivity are all silky smooth. The fingerprint scanner is the best I have ever used. The placement of the fingerprint scanner to me seemed strange being on the rear of the phone but wow it actually is the perfect spot for it. The lack of a dedicated home button take a little getting use to but works too.
I cannot get over how the new Google Assistant is the closest experience to the ones you see in high tech sci-if movies.
The size, thinness and weight of the phone is on par with other similar phones but the use of high quality materials makes it feel like a sculptured piece of tech. I understand that cloud storage is growing but feel for certain photos, documents and so on that I as well as others prefer to store directly on the phone. The lack of an SD slot for storage expansion to me is a big negative.
Overall this phone and the camera are superb and cannot wait to explore it more and use the google assistant more as it adapts to my "needs".

Great range but no USB 3.0
on September 23, 2016
Posted by: redderr
When you first open the box, you are greeted by a well packed high end products. From the time I opened it and disconnected my old router and modem and hooked the main unit up, total elapsed time was under 40 minutes.
Placing the satellite unit took less than 20 minutes.
Range improvement over my old setup was decent but I had a rocking setup prior so I think for many this will be a significant speed improvement.
What I do know us my overall range and stability has gone up significantly and no real dead zones anymore. What I find very disappointing that considering the cost, I really do not understand why one if not both USB ports should have been 3.0 and not USB 2.0

Good controls and suction
on July 31, 2016
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
Good to great suction. Lightweight. Easy to maneuver. On and off brush roll control. Foot On and off power control is a bit temperamental in that as you apply foot pressure to turn on or off...it flips between on and off several times...you have to be quick or before you remove your foot it could either on or off.
The filter is washable and dries easily in an hour or put in dryer and dries In few minutes. The motor filter should be replaced every few months and that can be costly.
Not bad machine for the price.

Meet Spotlight. A game-changing presentation remote. Spotlight allows you to simply navigate slides and interact with on-screen content from up to 100 feet away. The customizable timer sends vibration alerts directly to hand – and the advanced pointer system allows you to highlight and magnify areas of focus in pixel-perfect detail.

5 out of 5Light weight, great range, and very intuitive.
By redderr

Simple packaging and very easy and quick setup once you download the software. The pointer is extremely slim and lightweight...just what you need from a presentation pointer.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
Being able to charge up in a little over a minute to get 3 hours of use with the included USB C cable is wonderful.
The pointer itself has very simplified interface, you have only three buttons at your disposal: a large "forward" in the middle; a smaller "back" arrow below it; and a third bullseye button that sits at the top of the slender wand.
Customization is what make this pointer so powerful in my opinion. The functionality of these buttons isn't fixed; you customize the actions they execute using the companion app. So, for example, where a quick press on the main button might move you on to the next slide, a longer hold can be set to launch the magnification feature; a raised hand gesture can trigger changes in volume.
A final neat touch is the haptic feedback, you can configure the Spotlight to vibrate at set times, which could be beneficial to pacing your presentation and your overall timing.
It's compatible with most of the presentation software you're likely to encounter including PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi and Apple Keynote.
I give it a solid 5 stars but the price needs to come down a bit for most users like myself to justify the premium price.

By JenJon
This has been the absolute worst electronic purchase ever! I am on my 3rd unit having 2 replacements sent to me from linksys as well as my 2nd range extender (the RE7000) that they have replaced as well. Invested 15-20 hours on the phone with foreign, yet pleasant enough, tech workers. I live in a square, 3,300 sf 2-story and cannot get consistent or far enough coverage. When paired with their extender to take advantage of the mumino technology, the internet fails to open at all on multiple devices, causing us to set up the extender under a different name and losing the purpose of why we bought in 1st place. After being refused to exchange into their new Velop product for all the problems, I ordered the Netgear Orbi yesterday and leaving the linksys brand forever ( I have purchased 9 routers from linksys in my lifetime for personal and rental homes ).

4 out of 5Great Robo Cleaner at a Good Price
By JBCTECH
I've been using robot vacuums for a few years and am a fan. The Samsung - POWERbot R7040 is my first experience with a next-generation model. There are great improvements in this one over my previous, 'bumper-car' versions: 1) Much better normal cleaning 2) option of a powerful turbo-cleaning mode 3) camera-aware movements which reduce the 'bumper-car' approach radically 4) options for manually controlling direction, spot cleaning, and repeat cleaning 5) an app that can control it from anywhere (and gives a diagram of where it went after a cycle) 6) a remote controller that can control it from anywhere in the home and manually direct it's path 7) a much more accessible, top-loading dirt collector that is easy to empty and clean.
It was very easy to set up and start in auto mode. For me, dialing in the added features took some time and trial and error. Better instructions on these features would be a big help. For instance, in manual mode, I would click the directional arrow and it would stop but not move in the desired direction. It took awhile to discover that it wasn't just a matter of clicking, but you have to click and hold the arrows in the direction you want it to go (duh). Once I discovered this, it worked very well (though the sensitivities of manually controlling it are best left for directing it into an adjoining room when you're in a hurry for it to find it's way there - and not in the mood to carry it). I'm also not yet clear on how well the Spot function works. This is too early of a review to address that.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with the way the POWERBot 7040 works. It is powerful, smart, simple and affordable!

Where is the map? The remote from anywhere?
June 17, 2017
In my use, the remote has about about a four foot range, even the manual verifies this.
I have used the app, where is the map of where it cleaned? I used the Android app.
The bumper car still lives in this unit, 4 foot by 30 foot hall, and my unit bounces off the side walls.
Manually controlling direction again limited by a four foot range of the remote.

I have tile floors that have a texture to them and the plain steam mop does not get the dirt out of indentations the tile has.. With the spinner you think this would work better? Or about the same as the steam mop I have now.
Sorry to say but I think if steam not working then probably the same but give it a try and if not up to your needs return.

will this work on the newer Nook from Barnes and Noble
Store movies, photos, music and documents with this SanDisk Connect SDWS2-064G-A57 USB 2.0 flash drive that features a generous 64GB capacity for ample space. The wireless streaming allows you to share media with up to 8 compatible devices.
can I download movies from itunes to the flash drive to view on my ipad? Or download through my ipad directly to the flash drive?
Using the iPad, the download defaults to iPad internal memory. I have not tried iTunes yet, but that workaround seems more plausible. Will get back when and if I try that route. I have a 128GB iPad and so not lacking for storage. I bought the device more to store sensitive files off the iPad but to still have ready access.

Save up to 64GB of media files and other data on this Samsung MB-MP64DA/BBY microSD memory card, which features a Class 10 UHS-1 design for rapid transfer speeds.
Micro SD Card specifications: SDHC vs SDXC, class 6, 10, & UHS class, R differences speed, or physical too?
My Nook HD+ Guide shows 3 types of SD cards are supported: Micro-SD, Micro-SDHC, & Micro-SDXC, The instructions include the following limits: 1) "micro-SDHC cards up to 32GB, Class 6", (no class 10 mentioned.); 2) "micro-SDXC cards up to 64 GB" (class is omitted); & 3) "The UHS speed for micro-SDXC cards is not supported". What is the difference between SDHC class 6, SDXC class 10, & SDXC UHC, What is UHS? Are these “old” guidelines”, are they now interchangeable, and if not, why? Is this a speed issue, a design issue, or is there a physical difference? Under these guidelines, will a micro-SDXC 64GB class 10 (that does not list or include any UHS reference), work? Is UHS-1 the same as Class 10 or something new and "physically" different? If the nook is limited to a 32GB class 6 SDHC card, but can also use a 64GB Class 10 SDXC card, where does this UHS definition fit? The nook info is recent. The limited explanations of SDHC; SDXC, and UHS terms leave me too confused to confidently choose the right SD card for this situation. I didn’t find Class 6 microSDXC cards, will a (faster) class 10' SDXC work, most of them also list UHS, what is the difference? To add the Android to a nook requires an SD card, I’d prefer to use the larger 64GB instead of 32GB. Your guidance would be appreciated. Thank You.
Currently in my Nook HD I have a 128GB SanDisk Micro SD card with no issues. I also just tried out the Samsung evo 64GB micro SD with no issues.
The SanDisk that I normally have in my Nook is: SanDisk - Ultra 128GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card
