Sturdy Build and Excellent Desgin
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: BillK
I have used other Bluetooth speakers and they have all left something missing. I was looking for a device that could stand up to outside use without compromising sound. The Lifeproof A10 does this and has excellent additional features to boot.
First, for the price, it has excellent sound. It has a speaker on each side of the unit so you dont necessarily have to aim it to cover a large group. Second, the battery life is excellent. Third, the little additions like the storage compartment and the ability to charge a device via USB are a nice touch.
Overall I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it for those looking for a sturdy, good sounding speaker.

Good Functionality and Attractive Style
on May 10, 2017
Posted by: BillK
I needed to replace an older non-connected dimmer and tried the Belkin WeMo Dimmer. Setup was very easy (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NEUTRAL WIRE) and easy to configure. The device does what it says it will do and allow you to schedule the lighting and brightness. The application is intuitive and easy to use and the integration with other connected home devices is nice as well.

Solid Specs with Only A Few Deficiencies
on April 14, 2017
Posted by: BillK
The HP Omen desktop is a solid performer having the latest Kaby Lake Intel processors and an Nvidia 1060 video card. The unit also looks great with a multicolor light vertically on the front.
I do flight simulation and loaded up X-Plane 11 which is the latest version and pretty power intensive. I set all graphic settings to the highest levels and the game ran smoothly which was a bit surprising. I also loaded Starcraft 2 and used Ultra settings and the game ran flawlessly.
My only concern is the unit came with 8 GB RAM. For a general purpose desktop this is sufficient but for a gaming machine more RAM is better. I did purchase an additional 8GB RAM for $50 and it made the system run even better.
It should be noted that the unit can also be upgraded from the i5 processor installed to an i7 at a later time if desired.
Overall pleased with the system and performance I have seen so far.

Good but not great vacuum
on March 20, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Having had a Dyson previously I had high hopes for this unit to be better in about every way. The multi floor 2 is maneuverable on par with other Dyson units previously. Its not too heave and is easy to use. While the cleaning power is good, it is not great compared to other units I have tried including the current machine I have by another manufacturer. Also, the hose attachment is a little clunky and not as manageable. Overall this is a good vacuum but probably not the best in its price range.

Great Features and Easy to Use
on March 13, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Out of the box I had this remote up and running in less than 5 minutes. A quick download of software on your workstation and the device will walk you through the setup process. The device itself feels good in the hand and easy to hold. The buttons are large enough to manage without looking at them. The highlight and magnify features are very handy and easy to operate. I am very happy with this remote and how it performs.

Solid Performance After Dicey Setup
on January 14, 2017
Posted by: BillK
First, the performance of this system is excellent. The speeds I am seeing on various devices is excellent and provides consistent maximum speed or my internet access. I love that it combines the 5mghz and 2.5mghz bands into one SSID and the system manages the connection.
The look of the "nodes" is good but nothing great. They are plastic and dont look premium but that really isnt an issue unless you are placing the node in an area where the design clashes.
Now for setup. There are few instruction included with the units. Basically you download the Linksys App for iOS or Android and follow the steps. A few things:
1) Only power on one node at a time. Set up the first node connected to your modem and then once that is connected, turn on the next node and connect it. If you have several unconnected nodes turned on, the app gets confused.
2) I was surprised at the lack of range during setup. I was attempting to set up a node one floor down and about 25 feet from the node upstairs and it kept saying the node was "off the map". Brought the node upstairs, plugged in the power, and set it up and it went through the process fine. I then moved the node back downstairs and it worked fine.
3) The Linksys App (iOS) seems to be a bit buggy. A few times during setup I needed to close the app and restart the setup. It wasnt consistent or clean. The app itself is pretty easy to use but is pretty simplistic.

Overall, for the price, you get solid performance. I would have expected a bit more premium build and design as well as a cleaner an easier setup.
I would recommend this product however.

Does What It Is Supposed to Do
on January 12, 2017
Posted by: BillK
Not too much to say other than this accessory works as described. Tried it on an iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, iPad Pro, and iPad Pro 9.7 and it worked just fine. If you need to charge your device while using the earbuds this will do the trick.

Great Power and Easy to Use
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: BillK
We have tried many vacuums over the years and currently use a Roomba for daily use. This vacuum outworked them all in terms of cleaning power. We vacuumed the carpet the in the morning with our current machine and this arrived after lunch. After a 5 minute assembly we decided to give it a try. Even after vacuuming in the morning, this machine picked up much more dirt and hair (we have two dogs and two cats). To say we were impressed is an understatement. The attachments are nice as well (could use one more space for he third attachment). Overall this is a good machine for the value and I would highly recommend it.

Good Sound in Bulky Design
on December 1, 2016
Posted by: BillK
Having used other wireless Bluetooth headsets in the past, I was interested to see what Sony would offer in the wireless earphone department. The first thing I noticed was the size of the device that would sit in each ear. I am a runner so I need a wireless headphones that will fit snug in the ear and wont fall our (or continuously feel like they are falling out) as I run. This headset is larger than most other Bluetooth headsets and did feel more like they were falling out. I will say the sound is good and i am pleased with the Bluetooth performance. However, I am still waiting for smaller ear buds to come out where the full design fits more in the ear and provides a more snug fit.
To clarify, I would recommend these for light workout duty (walking, biking, yard work, etc.). Just be mindful if there is a lot movement or bouncing, they are less secure in the ear.

Solid Trimmer with Great Options
on November 16, 2016
Posted by: BillK
Having used other wet/dry trimmers, this trimmer definitely is at the top of the list. It is well built and designed to give a good feel in the hand and good control. The various combs and attachments are well conceived and fit easily on the trimmer. I have found the battery life to be adequate providing several trimming sessions. The cut is accurate and complete depending on the comb setting you choose. Overall, this is a very good quality trimmer.
