Great, lightweight vacuum!
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Mike
The suction paired with extreme versatility of this vacuum cleaner is amazing! Cleans pet hair from furniture with ease, especially with the under-couch attachment to get under furniture without having to move it! The liftaway portion makes cleaning stairs easier and more comfortable. Very quiet and convenient, small enough to store easily too!

The soft ear pads on these Sony over-ear headphones provide comfort during long listening sessions.

Nice upgrade from old model! Very impressed!
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: Mike
The largest improvement for this model for Sony's higher end noise cancelling headphone is that noise cancelling itself, this has seen the largest improvement with or without music playing through. The app in iTunes app store is fairly useless as the controls on the headphones are more than sufficient and easy to use. Bluetooth pairing was easy and a painless, simple set up. There is no quality loss by going wireless versus wired as Sony has been able to correct any issues they've had previously in the Bluetooth connection in these headphones. The only drawback is for those who have larger ears, the cups for the headphones may seem a bit tight but still very comfortable. Definitely would want recommend trying them on to ensure they fit you comfortably if possible but they do flex some to form a better fit over time. I would highly recommend them for students or professionals that are looking for a little peace and quiet in a very reasonably priced set of headphones!

Amazing mesh WIFI network for larger homes!
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: Mike
I replaced an older AC1900 router that had many dead spots throughout our apartment. Although it did take more than the five minutes to set up that the box claims, after the Velop system was set up it worked phenomenally! Most of the dead spots in our apartment are gone and the speeds have increased throughout the network itself! I would definitely recommend this for larger homes (not necessarily a 1000 SqFt apartment like mine) as the separate nodes will allow you to dedicate a portion of the network to a certain dead spot area and even hard wire certain devices that are further away from where your router/modem originally were! I do wish this system could be set up and configured from a computer versus just the mobile app from a smartphone but setup was still very easy and straight forward!

It can blend anything!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I purchased this for my girlfriend as the Ninja blender she was using before only worked with the 16oz cups and she wanted the larger capacity. This thing has it all! Works perfectly to mix up meal replacement shakes, even with things such as frozen fruits right out of the freezer (no thawing required!) and ice in no time at all! It's quieter than our old Ninja and much more efficient! The larger cups are perfect for any individual shakes with the ability to use the large blending pitcher for more people and the food processor works like a charm!

Amazing backpack for carrying tech!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I bought this backpack after reading most of the reviews that are on Best Buy and compared it between quite a few different ones. The winner with this one is that is has many different pockets for all kinds of devices. It even has a special separate compartment just for a tablet! Fits my 14 inch Toshiba Ultrabook perfectly and my Surface 3 at the same time! Fitting numerous text books with the laptop and tablet in there makes things a bit tight but the straps and design really help keep the bag comfortable on your back. Very durable and exceptional quality materials!

Great trimmer!
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mike
Excellent trimmer with a lot of options for many different functions! Works great as a beard trimmer and to clean up in between haircuts with many different adapters for a close shave or keeping your neck cleanly cut. The only thing I wish it was able to do is shave while it's still plugged in but the battery charges very quickly and last for a long time as well. I would definitely recommend this anyone who's looking for a versatile trimmer!

Excellent Advance Router
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Mike
This router works excellently with heavy usage. It seems like the more devices you connect with higher bandwidth needs, the better it performs! The MU-MIMO is one of the best features as it allows multiple direct beams to the most demanding devices to help ensure they stay connected with the performance they need. I have owned a number of Linksys routers in the past and this one carries on the ability to use their Smart WiFi app on your smartphone which adds the convenience of having everything in your network available at your finger tips! I would highly recommend this for homes or small offices with many devices that are very demanding of your networks capabilities and the need for a very reliable network signal!

Amazing computer, but wait IT'S A TABLET!
on May 5, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I purchased this to replace an older windows tablet that's performance was quickly limited and met an unfortunate end when it met playful cats and the floor. I had scoured through reviews and came to the same conclusion every time that the Surface 3 is the right tablet for me! The perfect blend of performance and value! The 128 GBs of storage and 4 GBs of RAM in an ultra portable, stylish tablet with an amazingly clear screen! The Surface pen is an absolute MUST to really take full advantage of all this system has to offer and works flawlessly right out of the box! I would definitely recommend this tablet to anyone who doesn't need the capacity of the Pro (or doesn't want to pay more for/have a higher performance tablet than the high performance laptop you recently purchased!) or is looking for a portable platform that won't be bogged down by using REAL computer programs, not JUST apps!

Incredible watch that's smart!
on November 9, 2015
Posted by: Mike
The best part about this watch is just that, it looks like a watch! The smart features are definitely a plus but the overall look and feel of the watch is just amazing. The rotating bezel is excellent and extremely convenient for quick, precise adjustments in any conditions or situations. This holds especially true if you live in a colder climate and and you want to check or change something without taking off your gloves to use the touch screen. I've had this watch for just over a week and have averaged just under 2 days of full, heavy use out of the battery. Another huge advantage to this watch is the integrated keyboard for replying to messages (both text and Facebook) that makes for a quick, easy way to respond with something more than just a pre-loaded quick reply. The wireless charging is great too, this also makes the watch more water-resistant than others and allows you to use it for swimming (or in the shower) if you choose to do so.

Does this support the same wiring configurations as the Nest 3rd gen? I live in an apartment and cannot run extra wiring for the HVAC system.

User submitted photo
Yes, it does. I would double check the compatibility on Honeywell's website but I went from Nest to this as well (in an apartment too) and it was a smooth transition.
My system has Central air, forced air gas furnace, and a central fan (4 wires with the ground, looks identical to your picture).

Only at Best BuyBring flexibility to work with the powerful and versatile Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Easily switch between typing on the keyboard, writing with the intuitive S Pen, and navigating the brilliant touchscreen. And do it all at once with an ultra-fast Intel® Core™ i7 processor. The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro keeps up with all the ways you work.
 

Is the screen anti-glare/matte display?

Daniel, the screen is not matte but compared to other touchscreen systems the glare is not terrible. Any kind of direct light, as with most touchscreens, will cause glare but this is mitigated on the Notebook 9 Pro by having an easily accessed "Outdoor" mode. The outdoor mode will decrease battery life substantially as it combats the sunlight and glare with a much higher brightness level!

Get rid of unwanted hair with this Venus Silk-expert IPL hair remover. This pulsed-light hair removal system has a gentle mode that removes hair just as effectively, but with a lower energy level for sensitive skin. This Venus Silk-expert IPL can treat larger body parts such as arms and legs in roughly eight minutes.
 

Does it work on dark and coarse hair?

It most definitely does! It does come with a bottle of trimmer oil to keep it lubricated which is very important for coarse hair to allow the trimmer to cut through effortlessly. It does not come with a brush but the trimming heads are very easy to clean!
