Great but very hot
on September 5, 2017
Posted by: redderr

The booster does a very good job of boosting any weak signal to something that is acceptable to very good. But the caveat is that you must have some sort of signal to boost, having no signal and this device cannot help you.
So ignore reviews that say not good because of no signal or an extremely weak signal, it cannot boost something that is not present.

The box says to contact your cell provider, I did not and had no issues using the device other than it gets hot the longer you use it. The manufacturer says this is normal. Bottom line it works for me and help me maintain coverage that has weak signal to allow me to not only make calls but to stream programs relatively smoothly.

Solud all around unit but weak audio
on August 8, 2017
Posted by: redderr

First it currently has only two apps with Netfilx gone but now back. But really who uses a bluray player for that reason?
The LG UP970 player is the entry-level model in LG’s range of Ultra HD Blu-ray players, so with that in mind...
The LG UP970 player is the entry-level model in LG’s range of Ultra HD Blu-ray players, so with that in mind...
This is a well built and solid all around unit that does a great job on upscaling and displaying native 4K video discs. Playback was flawless and the response times for the different commands were short, as were the loading and disc initialization times.
But I took off a full star for lack of support for DLNA streaming: impossible to play videos shared on a home network or directly from a smartphone. As well as for a motor that makes a very loud constant buzzing noise that you can hear while the movie is playing.
The LG UP970 Ultra HD Blu-ray player is equipped with two HDMI outputs, the second of which is dedicated exclusively to audio signal transmission–practical when using a home theater receiver unable to handle UHD content. In such a scenario, the Blu-ray player may be connected directly to the display device without passing through a receiver. A stereo amplifier equipped with a DAC or an external DAC may then be connected to the player’s optical output in order to play PCM signals in stereo format. Lastly, a 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 front panel port round out connectivity.

Compact and easy clean up
on July 26, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from NY
I have had the jucier for about two days, I like the small footprint and the easy cleanup. Setup was a breeze though the easy setup diagram is a bit confusing.
The unit has an LED to indicate if assembled correctly and will not even work if not assembled correctly.
The unit has an LED to indicate if assembled correctly and will not even work if not assembled correctly.
The jucier does a decent to above average job on what it has suppose to do but entails some extra effort on your part. The items to be jucied must be cut into small enough size to be worked on by the jucier. The entry chute is also small, so takes multiple times to put stuff in to get sufficient juice production.
I think it is best for a single person or couple as the container for juice is not very large and so seems better suited for a small family.
My other jucier's container is much larger but takes up a much larger counter space and much more difficult to cleanup. I can clean up the unit in under 3-5 minutes, maybe less if I really try.
I take a star off because as others said even the precut store bought fruits and vegetables have to be cut smaller to FIT in the unit's entry chuteI also felt some spray from the point of entry as I pushed the fruit into the machine as it began masticating the items.
I think the small footprint is great for those with limited kitchen space but it does take longer to get sufficient juice due to this size.

This double feature brings together the two installments in the Ouija horror film franchise. 2014's Ouija centers around a group of friends who accidentally awaken sinister forces from an ancient spirit board, while 2016's prequel Ouija: Origin of Evil traces the supernatural history of the same Ouija board years previously.

Covers more than 1500 sf
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from NY
First I have a 3200 sf 1950s plaster and lath home with many rooms divided by walls and solid doors with a brick unattached garage.
The setup was quick, under 15 minutes. I disconnected my old router and used the existing main Ethernet cable from old router and connected that to the in port jack on the Pro unit. I then connected my hardwired ethernet switch to the out port jack to allow me to still hard connect other devices like my smart TV, security NVR, Laptop and a desktop.
I reused my old router ID and password for the Pro unit, as a result the majority of my wireless devices had no trouble reconnecting to the Pro hub.
The Pro hub basically uses the same user ID and password for both wifi bands and then lets your wireless devices connect to it at their best connection wifi band, no effort required on your part. No more having to gave two separate IDs for the two wifi bands.
I found that my devices throughout the house and garage had no trouble maintaining a connection and getting good upload and download speeds.
The Pro hub found my Samsung robot vacuum and Samsung wireless camera. I am still troubleshooting it being able to connect to other non Samsung home smart type devices.
But so far, the small footprint, style and range are all beyond my expectations. The one negative is that you must use the Samsung app to get up and running.

Exceptionally secure fit and rinse ability.
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from NY
JLab's in-canal earphone pair. The fit is truly one of the most secure-feeling in-ear seals in any price range. The Epic2 Bluetooth delivers a powerful booming bass response that I depend on to keep my exercise routine going. Fit it delivers, sound it delivers, this is a keeper.
Additionally IPX5 rating means the earphones can handle water, sweat, and rain without issue. They can be rinsed off, too!!!
The in-ear fit is secure and comfortable, and come with a whopping six pairs of eartips in various shapes and sizes. The Epic2 Bluetooth's cabling near the earpieces allows for a stable loop over your ear, while two cable cinches help you adjust cable slack.
An inline compartment near the right earpiece houses the micro USB charging port with a snap-shut cover, as well as the three-button remote control and mic. The remote's volume buttons work in conjunction with your mobile device's master volume and double as track navigation controls depending on how long you hold them in for. A multifunction central button controls power, playback, and call management. I like three-button remotes that have dedicated volume buttons and use the central button for everything else, including track navigation, depending on how many times you tap it. The Epic2 remote makes it more likely that you'll skip a track when you mean to just adjust the volume.
I think from a fitness standpoint, the JLab Epic2 Bluetooth is a clear winner—the in-ear fit is excellent, and the earphones can get wet and be rinsed off. They also provide the big bass sound I want when playing my workout music.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

Powerful Mouse options app
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from NY
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a wireless mouse that is a bit pricier but its features set makes it a joy to use for extended time. In addition to being a comfortable mouse with a sensor that works on all surfaces, its Logitech Flow feature lets you copy and paste documents, images, and text from one computer to another, speeding your workflow.
The mouse features a stunning 4,000 dpi darkfield sensor that works on all surfaces even clear glass. I used the options control panel for the Logitech mouse to hone in on my perfet settings which produced a mouse that tracked quickly, precisely and smoothly over any surface. The mouse wakes from sleep instantly and gives you a visual battery level via 3 green LEDs on the left side.
Speaking of battery life, supposedly you get 70 days but unable to test that but so far using continuously for about 7 days, 4-6 hours a day and all 3 LED still lit. There is a micro-USB port on the front of the mouse to plug in the included USB cable, which lets you recharge while using it. The mouse is connectable by Bluetooth or via USB nano receiver. I connected via the USB nano receiver.
The mouse features seven buttons (left, right, center, back, forward, gesture, and scroll mode shift) and two scroll wheels, and they work the same way. Each of the buttons is adjustable for functions including left click, volume control, brightness control, and zoom, among others. You can click the gesture button under your thumb, hold it, and move the mouse up, down, left, or right for additional commands. You can switch the default via the Logitech Options app. I found using the mouse became second nature after tweaking the Logitech Options control panel to adjust the scrolling and mouse behavior to settings that suited me.
A button on the bottom of the mouse lets you pair with and switch between a combination of up to three Bluetooth computers or Logitech USB receivers.
But when it comes to using the mouse on multiple computers it is smart to install the free Logitech Options software. You install the software on each machine, then set up the Logitech Flow feature. Once installed, you'll be able to switch control between the computers just by moving the cursor between the screens, as long as all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Just like if you had two or more displays connected side by side to one PC, if you move the cursor through the right side of one screen to the other, the cursor control will pass to the PC or Mac to the right.
Again, as long as all computers are connected on the same network, you can copy text or files from one machine, move the cursor over to another, and paste them. File transfer can take some time if the size is large but much quicker than using a USB drive, relaying over a network drive or emailing it to yourself.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is the perfect mouse for anyone who uses multiple computers on the same desk. It is comfortable to use all day, is responsive, seems to have a long battery life with quick charge ability. Connectivity is a snap. The Logitech Flow is a killer app and enables you to become more productive as you copy and paste from one computer to another on the fly.

Toss this waterproof LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker in the pool and watch it float. The crisp audio doesn't stop for snow, dirt or ice, and this Bluetooth-enabled speaker can withstand a drop from 1.2m. The battery of this LifeProof AQUAPHONICS speaker keeps going for 15 hours, and it charges your phone while it's playing.

Durable speaker with great battery life.
on June 24, 2017
Posted by: redderr
from NY
I am not an audiophile but the speaker is very loud without loss of sound clarity but does lack deep bass. But the overall clarity is fantastic even at max volume levels.
The unit is well built, feels very sturdy and is indeed waterproof. The 4 grab handles make carrying the 4 pound speaker with your fingers a pleasure and feels very secure when carrying by the handles.
I immediately paired with my Samsung S6 Edge Plus and iPad Air 2, that took less than a minute for both. A nice feature is that once paired, there is a button to make the unit cycle through its list of paired devices. You can pair the speaker to 8 devices.
Once paired, I walked around and found the Bluetooth connection was stable in an open area for a good 40-50 feet but inside of my home (which has many walls) that range dropped to about 18-25 feet.
I dropped the speaker into my pool and held my breath...indeed it floats. I submerged the unit at a depth of 2 feet for a few minutes and discovered the lock box area to be bone dry!
Would I put my phone in there, yes but would try and not submerge the speaker but let it just float.
The ability to be out by the pool and receive calls using the speakerphone and microphone is a nice plus. You can make calls using your cell phone and use again the speaker's own microphone/speakerphone to continue your conversation.
The lockbox has a USB out charging port but rated at 0.5amp which might not be sufficient for certain devices. The other USB out charging port is located on the side but rated at 1.0 amp.
The speaker is designed ruggedly and held up well on a short day trip to the beach. Because it is waterproof, cleaning and maintenance is very easy. While the speaker lacks a very deep bass I think this is due to the waterproof protection but given all the other features, that is an acceptable tradeoff.
You have a well built speaker, moderate weight, easy to carry, great sound clarity, easy to clean, quick pairing, excellent Bluetooth range, excellent battery life and easily accessible controls.
Get it.

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.

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.

brick?
In addition to having several things running on the wifi, I have a brick wall within my home that I need the wifi to travel through. Will this get through brick, and what is the maximum range?
I have brick in and around the house and inside my brick garage which is about 60 feet from the Router I still get a signal that says connected at about 25mbps.
