The 1980's Called...
on November 19, 2018
Posted by: aved0n
from Palm Bay, FLA USA
I love writing positive reviews that maybe will help fellow consumers out. And I will keep this positive, at least to some extent.
As others have written this is great for preteens or young teens when you don't want them to blow up your hard earned and high dollar system. Yes, we guys love our dream systems. So there :)
The Sony MHC M20 is, IMHO, overly big hence the 1980's reference. The sub has no real BOOM, but a pleasent compliment to the pretty decent tweeters.
I love the DJ mode and pseudo kerioke mode. The light show is sure to be a hit with the kiddo's too. I love that you can add more Bluetooth self powered speakers.
This would be cool under the tree for kids, outside at a pool party, or in the garage to have some music while working on the family suv.

WD.... 'nuff said

When it comes to hard drives whether portable on hard wired, there's one brand that stands head and shoulders above the rest. WD!
This plug and play drive is great for backing up data, extra space for gaming, or what I've used mine for, copying my lawfully purchased movies to friends homes to watch.
Installing is as simple as open box, plug in the included USB cable and DONE.
Can't go wrong with WD.

The Philips Norelco-Series 7000 Body Groom system is reasonably priced and exceeded my expectations.

Guys, it's no sin to want to look your best, so grab one and enjoy the experience.
From top to bottom (ahem) this unit won't let you down.

Fast & Flawless .... But
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: aved0n
from Palm Bay, FLA USA
I have mixed feelings about the Linksys - Velop Tri Band System.
On the plus side this is a sleek good looking system that is simple to set up. Setup through the app took 15 minutes to place and setup the mesh network.
The speed is very good at 427 mps and 24 mps respectively.
Here are my issues. I'd like more control. For some reason everything has defaulted to 2.4k. No rhyme or reason. No built in security. And it is a tad pricy for what ya get.
In conclusion, although fast and reliable, I'm not sure if this is the best choice for most people.

Coffee? Tea?
on October 11, 2018
Posted by: aved0n
from Palm Bay, FLA USA
I own the first incarnation of the Ninja with stainless carafe and it has served me faithfully for the last 2 full years, so when this unit became available I jumped at the opportunity.
First off, this unit has a stylish modern look. It is as attractive as it is functional.
Separate filters for coffee and tea plus a built in frother. Nice. I love the recipe book and since I love coffee of all types I'm having fun taste testing.
Others have mentioned the different modes and accomedation for different sizes ranging from a cup to a well insulated 50 ounce stainless steel carafe.
That is perhaps my most appreciated feature. With a sealed insulated stainless system, there's no burner/warmer which honestly burns the coffee. The insulated carafe more than keeps your tasty beverage hot.
One last thing is the Ninja is as fast as its namesake when it comes to brewing coffee/tea.
Psst, use a touch less coffee or tea because this Ninja delivers a very full flavored beverage.
Enjoy yall!

Love It..

Posted by: aved0n

I am a Dyson Ball user and fan. I own a SHARK wand for quick clean-ups and I'm quite pleased with it.
But, the times they are a changing. I have recently installed engineered vinyl plank (EVP) flooring, and neither of my older (2 YEARS OLD, oi) would do for my new flooring.
Along comes SHARK with a unit designed for these changing times! And let me tell you, SHARKNAD0 does it right.
The AZ1002 is well built and boasts a 5 year manufacturers warranty. It's pretty light weight and has the suction of my now retired Dyson Ball, comes with attachments to get dirt, or in my place, doggie fur wherever it's hiding.
It's detachable for easier handling and turns on a dime.
You may have seen a SHARK commercial where SHARK boasts that the AZ1002 will leave a sheen on your hard surfaces. It does, atleast on my flooring.
Whether you have hard surfaces (EVP, LVP, laminate, bamboo, tile, hard woods) or a combo including carpeting this lightweight SHARKNAD0 can handle it all. Well worth the price.

Not Bad at All

This is Plantronics wireless version of their popular wired Backbeat GO 3. First off they are comfortable and the audio quality is quite good.
Plantronics designed the SRS-XB501G with user safety in mind, and honestly I wasn't sure that I'd like that. I mean we wear buds to drown out the outside world, right?
They did it right. It was quite easy to enjoy the music but still be completely aware of my surroundings. Being waterproof, I couldn't resist taking them into the pool for a float and swim. They stayed put and remained comfortable.
The controls are easy to get used to. Download the app on Google Play or Apple to customize your control of the left ear bud. The right controls volume. As for charging, simply put them back in their case and they'll be good to go.
The SRS-XB501G is completely compatable with all popular personal assistants.

Surf's Up!!

This is a good package to take on the go. I brought mine to the park and to the beach and had absolutely no issues. SONY lived up to the hype that the SRS-XB501G is water and dust proof. I would not recommend testing that beyond a day or evening on the beach. :)
I typed that I went to both the park and beach, well I also had a good 2 hours play later that evening on my patio.... ALL ON THE SAME CHARGE!!!!
The SRS-XB501G has a pretty remarkable battery life for a package this good, and coupled with the different sound modes and extra BOOM from the sub, it's pretty darn cool. I love the responsive LED lighting, it completes the experience and of course Google Assistant is integral.
Grab one and go 4 wheeling, to the beach camping or fishing. When it gets dirty, just rinse it off and the SRS-XB501G is good to go again.

Fun Stuff
on September 19, 2018
Posted by: aved0n
from Palm Bay, FLA USA
I had all but forgotten the fun of playing with a Polaroid camera. We used to have one at almost every gathering, back in the day and anyone who wanted to take a picture could.
This is not a professional level camera. Polaroids never were. What they are is cool. This camera is fun. Kids are awestruck to see the image appear before their very eyes.
Worth having for the fun of it. If you have a kids party let the young uns have at it. That alone is worth the cost of a film pack.
Enjoy

I Love This Thing
on September 7, 2018
Posted by: aved0n
from Palm Bay, FLA USA
I call the LG a thing with deference and love, its a beast! The only way the LG is portable is if there's an outlet near by.
I've used this to rock out in the shower, while detailing my car and at a gathering on my patio. Great performance and seamless Bluetooth pairing.
Is this as excellent as my Marantz / Definitive Technology rig? Let's not be silly, but the bass hits hard and the sound is clear and rich. It's head and shoulders above other speakers in its class. The light show is a nice touch, and the unit is solid and well made.
Getcha one and have some fun!!

This cover did not work!!! My son dropped his iPhone in the pool and it is ruined!!! I contacted the company and the only thing they will do id replace the cover!!! So he is going to have to pay 500 dollars to replace his iPhone. Maybe this product works most of the time and he just had a defective one but don't pay 80 bucks for something that may not even work and for sure you should not trust that it will!!!!

I Understand
July 7, 2012
I understand your frustration and anger and, forgive me for asking but did you do the one hour submersion test before applying the Lifeproof cover? I didn't think I was going to test mine, assuming that if it is factory fresh it has to be perfect, but I am very glad that I did.
After about 10 minutes I checked my brand new virgin case and lo and behold I noticed a water spot. I pulled it out of my glass checked it, and it was sealed properly, so I called the company who promptly overnight delivered a fresh one, which worked perfectly.
Testing is the key, and once again I am so sorry for your situation. In this economy having to replace an expensive iPhone is an unwelcome expense, but on the bright side there are authorized dealers who can and will repair water damaged phones for a modest price.
Hey man, thats something anyway, right?

I have been a Samsung user for the last 10 years or so, but after a bad experience where the set had to be repaired 3x in the same calendar year, it was time to explore other options.
I was very impressed in the store at the clarity and detail of this model, however when it was delivered I have to say my enthusiasm waned considerably. I had been used to using certain settings on the menu and sub menus but the picture left me flat.
However with a little experimenting and keeping an open mind, I found picture settings that are nothing less than stunning.
**A HINT** in the ADVANCED MENU, lower the GREEN level 2 clicks, in the darker register for a truly neutral picture. Otherwise everything in the darker registers has a slight, but annoying green pall to it.
The UPCONVERSION of the SONY compared to Samsung is night and day, with the Sony taking even the mediocre signal of Brighthouse and enhancing it beyond what the Samsung in the same price range can offer.
All in all I am content, the integration of my Yamaha / Samsung 4K home theater was a dream to set up and the quality is excellent. I was going to use the Sony 4K Blueray but honestly Samsung still has some features I like so why not have the best of both worlds?
All in all I think my entertainment dollar stretched well with this Sony 4K 3D TV.

We bought this as a replacement for a very expensive model that had quit working and unknown to us had a feature that we were able to connect our Wii to instead of having to connect it directly to the TV. Unfortunately this product was not set up for that and we had to connect the Wii directly into the TV which left me with a cord hanging down my wall while all the others were concealed behind the wall. Had I known I would have opted for a more advanced receiver. other than that we are happy with it.

Bring clear, powerful sound to the party with the SRS-XP500 Portable Wireless Speaker. Add extra juice to the hits with MEGA BASS and Sony’s unique X-Balanced Speaker units, and keep the energy going with up to 20 hours of battery life1 plus USB-C quick charging. Actual performance varies based on settings, environmental conditions, and usage. Battery capacity decreases over time and use.
Can you get two and create a stereo pair?
Absolutely. The Sony SRSXP500 Bluetooth Portable Wireless Speaker provides stereo sound already but adding another will provide a louder fuller sound
