Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>

The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum was packaged well. Once opened, it was easy to assemble. The handle had to be clicked in to the base, attach the hose and insert the filter. It also comes with a few different attachments that can be used. I particularly liked the hand tool with the LED light.
To operate, you have to really push to release the handle, turn on the power switch and then separately turn on the roller brush. You can adjust the level of the brush to fit the different types of flooring. The noise level is very loud, louder than other vacuums I've owned. The vacuum is extremely heavy and difficult to steer and maneuver. The swivel handle and low profile of the vacuum is nice but it's so hard to turn and steer. I would not be able to use this vacuum on stairs due to it's weight. The canister is clear so you can see when it needs to be emptied. And with a push of the button you can empty into the trash. As for the suction ability, it seemed very strong, which is good for picking up hair and crumbs. Overall, the vacuum seems to be an average vacuum.

Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.
Posted by: mamallg
The Linksys router includes a power cord, ethernet cable, document cd, and a quick start guide.
At first glance out of the box the router is larger than other routers. You will need a space about 13” wide, 10” deep (not including space for cords) and 7” high (with the antennae extended straight up) for it to fit without touching. There are lots of outputs to connect devices by wire (8 ethernet output ports and 2 USB ports)
Following the startup guide was simple and quick:
1) Connect power cord and press power button on.
2) Connect internet using ethernet cable from your modem.
3) Connect to a network with a password that is specified in the startup guide.
4) Open web browser and go to Smart Wi-Fi setup to go through steps to finish.
5) Connect your devices to your new wi-fi network.
1) Connect power cord and press power button on.
2) Connect internet using ethernet cable from your modem.
3) Connect to a network with a password that is specified in the startup guide.
4) Open web browser and go to Smart Wi-Fi setup to go through steps to finish.
5) Connect your devices to your new wi-fi network.
When you log into the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi site for your router, it allows you to see all the devices using your router. It also allows you the ability to set up parental controls, manage a guest network, manage external storage connected to the router, and create a priority list of devices using the network. The smartphone app is very convenient because it allows you to do pretty much everything you can do on the website to manage the router.
When doing simple speed tests in different rooms of a ~4,000 sq ft house, it's been performing great. On the same floor or on the same side of the house it is very fast. In rooms that are on the opposite side of the house and up/down a floor the speed slows, but I have not found any dead spots.
**Overall, I would highly recommend this router for anyone that has fairly large wi-fi needs (large number of people using it or lots of devices). The way this router manages the use to maximize the speed for everything using the network is great! I am confident that our family of 6 will be using this router for many years to come without reaching it’s max.**

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.

The Bose soundsport wireless headphones are amazing. They were super easy to connect to my iPhone. It took just a couple quick steps to hook up the bluetooth. They are very comfortable to wear for a long period of time. A nice small case with a carabiner comes with so you hopefully don't lose them. The sound quality is awesome. I would expect nothing less from Bose. The one small con I would say is it is hard to see the "R" and "L" to know what earbud goes in what ear, so I just look at the controls and know it wears on the right. The buttons are easy to push and use. I wish the headphones came in many different colors. The blue is ok but I like neutral colors. I highly recommend this product.

Samsung 7.5 Cu. Ft. 13-Cycle Steam Gas Dryer: The spacious interior of this gas dryer lets you dry more clothes in fewer loads. For neatly pressed results that will save ironing time, use the Steam Dry cycle to combat odors, steam away wrinkles, and freshen clothes.

I've had the pair for about 8 months now. It's user friendly and has many options. I know it cleans and dries well. The large capacity is nice for big loads and duvets and comforters. A couple things to note about the washer. The wash has a self clean cycle which is nice, but the indicator light comes on about once a month and the process is about 4 hours long. When it spins dry, I do occasionally hear some noise and vibration, even shrieking at times. I'm not sure why since it's balanced. The other thing is the liquid detergent dispenser, 9 out of 10 times, is full of water after the cycle is done. It's somewhat of an annoyance. A couple things to note about the dryer, is is that the light inside is nice. I do have problems with the duvet covers or sheets getting very twisted up into a ball and don't dry properly. So it's a pain to constantly check the load to see if I need to fix it or if I don't, not having everything dry when it's done. And if I would have realized it in the store, I probably would have splurged to buy the pedestals. I usually think they're a waste of money but they sit very low to the ground. So I have to kneel to get in there when I move the load from the wash to the dryer and or out of the dryer.

Solid case, good protection

After trying to find the perfect case for my new iphone 5, I needed something while I keep looking. I decided on this one and I'm pretty happy with it. I love the pink and that it sparkles while not looking chinzy and cheap. It is pretty bulky so it makes the phone feel bigger and heavier. But it protects the phone well. I've dropped it a handful of times (including onto a concrete sidewalk) and it's survived just fine. The one thing I would recommend doing is taking it out of the package while still in the store and trying it on your phone. I could barely get the case off with the first 3 I put on. The 4th one was finally a better fit where I can slide it on or off while still being snug.
What's great about it: Pretty, protects well
What's not so great: Bulky

We bought a floor display from a store that was closing, so we got this for 70% off the price, which I think was an absolute steal of a deal. I don't think I would pay the full price but this is a very nice media console. You can tell it's not chinzy and cheap. It looks great with our 55" flat screen. There were quite a few scratches and knicks on top which we hard a hard time repairing completely. That's the one downfall. But the console has a lot of room to hold all of your media components. It's also nice to have the drawer to tuck a few things away. The color is a very beautiful dark espresso. The whole thing is very solid. It was very heavy and we needed moving straps to move it into our house. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice piece of furniture.
What's great about it: stylish, sleek, solid
What's not so great: hard to repair scratches

The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black
Does it have an analog OUTPUT so I can plug in a non-Bose subwoofer?
I don't believe you can plug a different brand sub in.

How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.
It's extremely loud. I also own an Oreck XL and the Bissell is so much louder.

how long is a wash cycle
It depends on many things. But the normal cycle, on "eco warm" water temp and regular spin and soil levels is 45 minutes.
