The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home.

Nest Doorbell requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

Love dual power options
on September 11, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
First setup was ridiculously hard. Pointing back to google home and to nest in circles. Video and audio quality is decent. I am using it to cover my parking space and it does great job.
One thing that I love about it is that it could be wired and/or run on the internal battery as well. I don’t know any other products that can do that.
Pros:
Could be wired or run on battery
Decent video
Decent audio
Decent video

Cons:
Setup was little bit complicated

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately

I must say setup has gave me hard time. Google home points me to Nest app and Nest sends me back to google home. After whole day of circling back and forth it started working.
Video quality is 1080 I believe and it has sleep mode which saves the battery. I would rank this as middle level camera.
Magnetic mount is impressive strong and very good job in there.
I am using this inside of my garage because lots of time we forgot to close the garage door, and for that purpose itself is good enough.

I love the design and led lighting, feel very durable and strong and it preforms very well. It does get quite hot really fast and fan seems to be running most of the time, even when it laying simple games such as roblox or minecraft. Display is awesome and on that side I am very happy with it. Device is heavy which is expected for hight performance computer. I have decided to make this my son gaming computer and he is extremely happy with it.

What I like about this lock is that can be used both way, with covering plate or with your old existing key mechanism. Very easy to setup but has Bluetooth only, no wifi. I would only recommend that you install the battery before you insert the lock, it makes everything lots easier. Took me about 7-8 minutes to install.
Pros:

Don’t ever worry about leaks or floods in your basement, under your sinks, from your water heater and anywhere else around the house. Phyn Smart Water Sensors alert you audibly, visually and with SMS and app notifications to your phone the moment they detect water. Set your own alert thresholds for potentially damaging high and low humidity in the free Phyn app and customize settings to maximize battery life. Easily connects via Wi-Fi to your home network, no hubs necessary. Batteries included.
Posted by: Erik77

Very easy to setup and works great. Only complaint is that alarm sound is weak but since it sends notifications to the phone that is not important. Notifications came in both text message and application alert. It does shows humidity and temperature status in real time and that is the plus.
Pros:
Easy to setup
Could be used anywhere
Send notifications to phone numbers too

This LG CordZero vacuum has everything you want, from Kompressor technology that lets you clean more and empty less, to two rechargeable batteries that deliver up to 120 minutes¹ of uninterrupted cleaning. But why stop there? The Power Mop attachment gives hard floors a perfect finish—without messy buckets or harmful chemicals. Simply fill the reservoir with water, snap on the attachment and go.
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Packaging:
Really nice device with bunch of attachment accessories (washable filters, brush, mop attachment with fiber towel and cleaning pads, two batteries) and standing / charging base which can be used as standing or mounted holder. Clean and simple packaging which was very easy to be assembled and ready to use after just few attachments “clicked” together.
Impressions:
This is all you need for your house. Light and portable makes it easy to use in any area for any situation. If you have stairs this would be a life saver trust me, especially since this vacuum has detachable from its wand. We have combination of hardwood floor, vinyl and tiles and works great on all of them. Telescoping wand will help you reach to light ceiling in case some of the spider webs find a way to your home.
Overview:
This vacuum is the best I have ever tried, used or even seen. Not too loud for vacuuming and surprisingly quiet for mopping (I guarantee you won’t even hear it in the next room with door open). I think sound produced while mopping is equal to sound produced by regular cooling standards fans. I was positively surprised that is still vacuuming while mopping and result of it. We love this vacuum and all of our friends are inquiring about it. 10 years warranty on the motor and two batteries are big plus.
Pros:
Powerful
Quiet

Detachable
Extending Wand

comfortable, sturdy and beautiful
on May 25, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Setup:
This chair require assembling, since it comes in pieces. Assembling is relatively easy and all screws are in same hex size, and chair comes with T shaped Allen wrench for assembling. Assembling diagram comes on the back of the large green cover paper, so don’t look for any booklet instructions like I did. Materials used seem to be of the very good quality and colors are beautiful, black leather with green stitching, and green letters and logos. Chair is built sturdy and very comfortable at the same time, but the most importantly no strange smells. Well done! Keep in mind it’s very heavy and if you are caring this chair to 2nd floor or basement I would suggest moving it to final destination while dissembled, in pieces.
Positioning:
This chair has very good options, from tilting base (which could be locked), tilting/lowering back side, to back support on lower back to Recaro style side and shoulder support. Great options on arm rests that moves up, down, in and out, to sliding towards front and the back. Chair also comes with small removable pillow for your head or neck support.
Durability:
This is definitely durable chair with strong materials. I have tried to put my weight pressure on both base and back of the chair and it holds my weight with no problem, it was still strong and sturdy like it was on day one. Sliding arm support pieces looks like plastic but they are some kind of combo of plastic and rubber and they are slightly soft when you press them, and feeling really comfy when you lean on them.
Experience:
I have tried lots of chairs in my life but this is something else, in a positive way. Completely opposite from chairs that get slightly soft after just few days of use. This one will keep its shape and sturdiness for a while and has colorful stunning design. Regardless do you play few hours of games a day, of working full time job from your home office this chair is in my opinion a great choice because it’s firm with many positioning options and extremely easy to clean. Soft chairs cause sweat and this chair is the winner because it's not one of those.

With HDR10 technology, colors will look vivid and lifelike while the TUV-certified eye comfort care will reduce eye fatigue and keep you productive. The minimalistic, virtually borderless design, clean cable management and slim, sleek stand gives you an optimized clutter-free workstation.
Posted by: Erik77

This quickly became my favorite and primary monitor. I must say that I like everything about it except sound which I will address later.
Size:
34” wide screen with slim design is definitely a great size and well above standard screen size which in my personal opinion makes this a premium monitor. Monitor sits on adjustable, tiltable and rotatable stand, which it’s also 100mm (quick press and release) VESA mountable. Stand base also has simple rubber made cable management clip to keep the cords in place. Curved screen definitely offers great visibility and new exciting viewing experience from any angle. I use this monitor as primary screen for both my computer and my home surveillance system (4K NVR) simply by switching input sources or using PIP mode. It is pretty heavy (21lb) so be very careful if you decide to mount monitor on arm or wall mount.
Picture:
Very clean and bright picture with great resolution up to 3440 x 1440 @100Hz and aspect ratio of 21:9. With sharp and clean picture you will enjoy this monitor regardless are you playing games, watching videos or doing office work. Monitor offers 5 pictures modes: Custom, Standard, Cinema, Dynamic contrast and Game mode. It also provides speed settings for response time (standard, faster and fastest).
Sounds:
This monitor does not have a speakers but it does have 3,5mm headphone output jack. I must say that I do not like sound quality delivered to headsets since it’s in my personal opinion good only for gaming, bringing lots of background sounds to front. I have external speakers so this was not a big deal for me.
Features:
Picture in Picture (PIP) mode which allows you to use two sources at the same time (split screen or full screen with picture of 2nd source on one of the corners.
“Eye care”, mode which those who use computer for several hours a day will appreciate. It offers Adaptive picture, minimal backlight and low and high "eye saver mode" which you are guessing is dimming the screen and adjusting the brightness.
USB-C output with 90w charging power to charge your phone is another of cool features on this monitor.
Ports:
This monitor offers 1 HDMI port, 1 DisplayPort, USB-C (which can charge your phone), RJ45 network port, 3 USB’s and 1 3,5mm jack.
Energy use:
This is Energy Star certified LED panel

Two users, very different results
on April 14, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
In my household two of us are using this device and both of us are getting very different results. My wife uses it for her legs and her results are very good which is why am I giving more than average ratings. I am trying to remove some of my beard going high on cheeks toward the eyes and my results are very disappointing, which is why I am deducting a star from review. That being said this device might not work same for everyone (or give same results for everyone). Yes, we both have exactly same skin color tone (light), and at least very similar color of the hair but maybe strength of the beard is making a difference and its resisting thickening process longer. I will of course continue trying but so far my results are equal to zero. Recommended use is once a week so it might take little bit longer to see the results.
Device is very easy to use: just plug to the power, position on the area you want to remove hair from and press the button, and repeat same steps all over. Make sure you shave that area before you use the device otherwise you might feel something like hot burn, it happened to me after I positioned device on unshaved area of my face. Also when used on the face your face might be slightly red like a mild sunburn for while after the treatment.
Cleaning its almost not needed, just wipe it for standard hygiene reasons.
Good thing is that this device has unlimited number of flashes which you don’t see often on products.
Pros:
Easy to use
Unlimited numbers of flashes
Unlimited numbers of flashes
Cons:
Might not work for everyone

Great cable modem/router combo
on April 14, 2021
Posted by: Erik77
from Illinois
Love it. I had lots of issues with my internet and tried 3 different modem/router combos from other manufacturers but this Motorola is the one that resolves my months long network issues. I am not talking just about speed problems but loosing connection completely several times a week (sometimes even several times a day) for several months. Ever since I got this Motorola everything has been working fine with no issues at all. Speed got much better too but most importantly not one single disconnection yet.
Setup was very easy, plug it to power, attach coax line and activate it. Then just customize Wi-Fi settings and it’s ready to go. Great gui interface and lots of settings to customize your network. I love Parental Control which lets me create policy for kids devices and set a time limits for their use. My other favorite thing is Control Device option which lets me to turn on/off network for any of the devices on my network.
Definitely increased strength of the Wi-Fi compared to any previous router I have used.
You can get a recommended mobile app called minim but I need to be honest and say that I did not like it. It was sending too many false alerts on every device connection (or reconnection). Then it messed up my WiFi settings and renamed them to two different networks (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) instead of one same name like I preferred to. Also it was giving me wrong data reports too, saying for example that my iPad used 360GB of data in just a few hours which is not possible, and my all devices using over 1TB for just a few hours. Very good device but horrible phone app which needs some work. App use it’s not required.
This modem has resolved all my internet issues: disconnections, speed and signal strength and I am extremely happy with it.
Pros:
Easy setup
Stable network
Great speed
Increased signal strength
Customizable settings

What when you travel?
September 8, 2014
Will you carry your router with you and ask people at Starbucks to plug it in so you can check your emails? I am guessing you will do same thing with hotels, airports and other locations? Keep in mind if you travel international you might need to get another router for 220V so your computer might go online because computer that requires special router is waste of money.

My PRE-ORDERED phone arrived defective and BestBuy promised me immediate replacement as soon I sent defective unit back. I been on the phone with them for 35 times and they screw me up after days and days of waiting. Now they want to cancel my order and provide me a refund??? I need phone, one you promised me! What happened with your service??? Be honest and keep my review and have someone contact me back!

Mess put me in situation that I have no phone
November 3, 2014
Maybe they cannot give instant replacement (but they should have one with in a week) and don't want to honor their promise, but they should specially when someone does not have old phone anymore (sold when received new which turns out was defective. I just received email that BestBuy is processing refund which should take couple of days. Problem is next: don't have phone for that line, didn't get money back yet, and they didn't reset upgrade availability so I can buy myself another device (different which was available). This is my first and last PRE-ORDER with Best Buy. Sorry guys but you lost my trust.

purchased this computer brand new, got it home and plugged it in, and... "Blue screen of death."
There was no hard drive installed on the machine when it was assembled. Ten minutes after i bought the computer i was back at Best Buy returning it. When i walked up to the service desk with the new lenovo, the first thing out of their mouth was "is the power cord not working?" no... i had a different problem, but thanks for the heads up.
I returned the Yoga 2 Pro and got a Toshiba Radius 15.6" with all the bells and whistles, and i'm very happy that i did. The Toshiba is GREAT! I wasn't comfortable being loyal to a product that allowed such a glaring manufacturing oversight. Later i would find out about the SD card not fitting all the way into the body of the laptop, and the micro HDMI port breaking if you use it too much (which i had intended to), and i am even happier with my decision to go with the Toshiba.
