My wife loves the muted rose color and finds the mouse is easy to install and use with multiple tablets and laptops.the battery life so far after about 62 hours of usage, on and off, is still 100%.
The mouse is very easy to scroll with, no fatigue on hand or fingers and again tracking sensitivity is fantastic. The slim compact design makes the mouse very portable.

The Linksys Velop MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system gives you more speed, coverage, and capacity than it ever has before. Wi-Fi 6 combined with Velop's Intelligent Mesh™ technology delivers true Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds, up to 5.3 Gbps, to every corner of your home, even the backyard and outdoor smart home devices. Wi-Fi 6 also sends and receives multiple streams of data simultaneously and reduces latency, providing up to 4x more capacity compared to Wi-Fi 5 technology. So, it can handle the demands of up to 50 devices and more, from laptops and gaming consoles to smart home devices and 4K TVs, all competing for the same bandwidth. You'll also always have a more efficient Wi-Fi experience with OFDMA that enables more data to and from your devices in a more streamlined manner. And, with BSS technology, congestion is also minimized eliminating interference from nearby wireless networks to deliver a strong, clear Wi-Fi signal to your home, so you won't have to worry about your neighbor's Wi-Fi interfering with yours again. You'll even have 7x more battery life with Target Wake Time that reduces network interference, allowing your devices to remain in sleep mode longer. The MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system is a part of Velop's modular system, so if you need more coverage, just add more nodes. Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.

Great and solid build quality.
on November 11, 2019
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
So I am coming from a linksys EA9500, a beast of a device with 8 gigabyte lan ports and I already averaged about 35-40 wired and wireless device. The only issue is I get dropped WiFi coverage sporadically but due to the auto switching from 2.4ghz to 5ghz bands.
The AX5300 is solidly built, great design, and blends into my home without issue. The ability to have two bases or a secondary node as is the case each with 4 lan ports is great. I am able to have lan connected devices in other areas than just where the main base is, which is currently the case with my EA9500.
Setup with the apps is a bit time consuming not in the initial setup which is a breeze but rather as the units get get “acclimated” with all your interconnected devices, about 36-72 hours. This is true I think of all linksys routers as was the same when I migrated from EA9300 to EA9500 and now the AX5300.
So my overall review is 4 to 4.5 stars. Router firmware upgrades with all my prior linksys system routers are far and few and no reason to doubt any difference with this new flagship.
Dropped WiFi continues to be an issue and I feel this more to do with linksys routers having a “hiccup” as you move about your house and the auto band steering drops from one band to another. My iOS devices seem the most sensitive to this momentarily loss. My overall speeds connections remain about the same as with my EA9500, so no real wow moments.
Overall it is a great device and much more aesthetically pleasing than the EA9500 with better coverage, so yes buy but this is more for future devices that will be able to take advance of the advanced features of the AX system, I have none so far. Another issue is the two piece unit is to me pretty expensive!
So solid 4 to possibly 4.5 stars, I would get it if you haves very speedy internet speed from your ISP (I have only 100 mbps down and 10 mbps up), devices that can utilize the new format fully and need better coverage which can be gotten with this mesh system.

Great device for TVs, tablets, phones, etc...
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
The keyboard has a nice solid build quality, battery life is supposedly in excess of one year, bordering on the ridiculous, but so far used for about 16 hours with no indication of battery life diminished.
You can pair this via the usb unifying remote and Bluetooth devices. It can be paired to many devices though it can only be used on two via a quick switch on the keyboard. I really only used it for my tablets, none of which can fit on the cradle due to cases.
My Android phone also has the same cradle fit issue and really I do not see any reason to use a keyboard on an android phone. The phone touch screen is much faster and easier to use. Indeed using the keyboard, I still have to use the touchscreen to send/enter. I only use phone for text and short email responses, no need for a keyboard.
So I really love the ability to use with my tablets and my smart TVs to enter inputs and leisurely type long email responses.

Great for small to medium meals

BESTBUY breville microwave review tech insider
I give it a full 5 stars but bear in mind that the interior is 1.1 cubic feet which is a decent size for medium size meal or great for small to medium size meals. Larger meals will mean cooking meals in smaller portions. Also use of some of the included utensils (crisper pan and the Trivet) reduce cooking capacity significantly but theses overall are minor quibbles.
The microwave is very powerful with its output ranging from about 1100 to 1400 depending on which cooking option(s) you use. I love the stainless steel look along with the controls and the never before seen child lock!
The function buttons are microwave, air fry, from frozen, oven, fast combi and food menu. Pressing them leads you to various options which help you set up your meals, cook times, temperatures, etc...
You also can turn on or off the turntable, another unique feature along with adding extra 30 seconds which I think is standard on most reheating devices in this category.
So it is a great microwave but the cost is pretty steep if that is all your going to use it for. The real stars are the crisper, air fryer and oven. It is a great device that can cook family size meals
as long as you take the time and patience to become familiar with your control menus and use the steps the menus list to begin your meal cooking.

Foods come out succulent and crispy, not your normal microwave. Great device but does need microwave size space on your counter top so you might need to remove your old microwave to use this, which I did as it has so so many more features and abilities.

Fantastic lightweight, comfortable
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
The lightness and comfort of the ear cups are above average. When you hear the name Corsair, you think memory modules and indeed their software suite had great configuration options but also includes pc monitoring stuff like temperature, etc...
The mic has a nice light that glows to indicate if on or off in regard to mute, very handy. The controls are great, and the included cables give you many hookup options. I would have like Bluetooth capabilities in case your not just play games and want to be untethered but my personal quibble.
Sound reproduction is well above the price range and is very enjoyable as well as is the comfort factor well using for extended periods of time.
The battery life is good but the usb-c charging cable allows for fast recharges, so a good plus.

Great simple case without excess size or weight. Protects the front with the surrounding lips. I like the clear back to display my iPhone color. Cutouts and buttons all work flawlessly, very grippy and adding a screen protector completes the weightless bulk less case. Beautiful.
Very protective and feel confident it will afford good protection if dropped from 4-6 feet, 10 feet not too sure...you test...lol.

Perfect size for 2-4 people

I never used an air fryer and I am hooked. Clean up is a breeze with the dishwasher safe parts. The compact size allows it to be storage easily on your kitchen counter or appliance garage or cabinet.
I am able to easily cook 8-12 pieces of legs, wings and thighs and they come out very “fried”, juicy and little mess. I tried steaming vegetables and that is even better. The size is just perfect. I might consider going up to a larger size for bigger family gathering but for now this is just great.
The price is very reasonable as well as the ease of use and setup. The dials and controls are straightforward and product seems durable.

Very good sound reproduction and pickup

Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
The setup was pretty straight forward as I already have in the ceiling mounted speakers which are pretty similar in size. The pivoting of the tweeter and woofer is pretty amazing compared to the old speakers I had.
Sound reproduction and pickups is remarkable, it’s like hearing new sounds in movies you had thought you heard all there was in the soundtrack before using these speakers.
The price point is pretty steep for the two speakers and you should look for a Black Friday deal but otherwise these are clearly fantastic speakers.

For big families with big counter space
on October 14, 2019
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
This crockpot slow cooker and pressure cooker is a real timer saver for my large family. It is the perfect size for cooking rice and other large meals.
The include “small” recipe book is not enough but you can easily look online for other recipes that can translate well to this crockpot.
So far the lining is holding up well after 12 days of daily use, yes love the device. I was worried about the lining as other reviewers of the small crock pots indicate the liner starts to peel and crack off, so far nothing.
The device is a real time saver even with slow venting. Browning and searing does work and adds to the multi use of this device even with the amount of counter space required, it is well worth it.

Great but band auto steering is problematic
on October 8, 2019
Posted by: redderr
from Queens, NY
The ease of setup with the Linksys software and app is painless and fast. I was set up 8n under 10 minutes but was probably aided 8n my prior router was also Linksys based.
Coverage is exceptional and LAN connectivity is as expected solid. But as with my prior Linksys router and this one as well, the auto band steering continues to cause momentary drops in WiFi coverage as your devices Linksys switches them to the appropriate band.
Also Linksys updates are far and few for their routers overall as evidenced by this continuing issue of band steering that still exist in this newer router.

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.

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.
