Good upright
on August 31, 2016
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Out of the box it was very easy to assemble, so much so I didn't have to consult the directions (but I did just to make sure I got it right after the fact.). There is an option to store all the tools (LED wand and suction power head) or just the LED wand.
The manual settings for carpet thickness and bare floor are on the power head. Automatic settings would be nice but I'm still young enough to bend over and change it. There is no light on the power head so watch where you are going. The power switch is located right next to the power head switch, convenient when switching from carpet to bare flooring. In order to use the nozzle you have to turn the switch, another manual operation but easily done.
The unit itself is moderately heavy but the ball joint makes it a breeze to maneuver once you get used to it. Getting it to track straight takes a minute. The nozzle length would allow you to do a 1/2 set of stairs from the top or bottom. The power chord is long enough to reach a couple of rooms at once.
After reading the users manual and inserting the Febreeze filter I put it to work. There are two filters and air filtration seems to be very good. I turned it on in front of sunlight coming through a window and did not detect any dust from the exhaust. I Vacuumed an area rug to start out with. There is something satisfying about seeing the dirt and dog hair being collected in the clear canister.

There is something satisfying about seeing the dirt and dog hair being collected in the clear canister.
I purposely ran over way more dog hair that would be considered normal and the wrap free roller brush seems to be just that. I also could not find any strings or rug yard wrapped around the roller.
Suction from both the power head and noble with attachments is pretty good. Our regular vacuum is a Miele canister and while it is no match for that it is very good for an upright. I especially like the LED lighted wand/crevice tool. The wand burst attachment also has a silicone like brush side so picking up pet hair from upholstery is quick.
The only complaint, which will only happen once unless you read this is emptying the canister. It is easy, just push a button and it all falls out. The only problem is that it also creates a dust cloud so don't do it inside.
All in all for he price it is a good vacuum for those with or without pets.

Good signal improvement
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Very easy to use, unboxed, plugged in and used WPS done. For those of you looking to tinker with it the user interface will allow more custom settings. Both turn key operators and tech-e's should be satisfied with the range extenders capabilities.
I didn't use any scientific methods to test signal strength improvement or speed just relied on my phones signal strength indicator and streaming video and saw an improvement in my basement. In order for the wireless option to deliver expected results you need a good solid network, otherwise you will experience lag.
I decided to try the ethernet connection and it was even better, added more speed and range to the wi-fi network.
Overall it was a worthy addition to my network.

Great wireless head phones
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Packaging is very secure so if you get them shipped to you no fear, they are well protected.
Out of the box I didn't read the directions, I do this to judge how difficult they are to use. Pushed the button to pair and I was all set. They are pretty self explanatory. They paired flawlessly with my G6 and sound overall is pretty good.
At the suggestion of the manual I downloaded the Bose connect app only to find out it is not compatible with the Soundsport Wireless ear buds?? Why Bose would suggest their app and it not be compatible is beyond me.
The fit is good, I used the medium ear frames, it also comes with small and large. It takes a couple of times to figure out the best way to get them in, they fit snuggly in your ear canal. I would recommend trying each size for a minute to see which is the most comfortable. The first couple times I wore them for more than 10 minutes they were a little annoying but each time I wore them it goes away so be persistent, I think your ears just need to adapt to the feeling.
The bass of some songs seemed shallow but others sounded fine. I played with the tone options on my G6 and made some changes that seemed to improve sound quality a bit. I must admit I have some wired ear buds that rival the sound quality of these but the wireless feature is worth a slight reduction in overall sound quality.
I did some yard work, took a bike ride and worked up a sweat, they stayed in place and the controls worked throughout. I ran on the treadmill and with the clip attached to the back of my collar they stayed in place perfectly.
Overall I would recommend these but if you are looking solely for sound quality make sure you do some comparison shopping. I don't own any other wireless earbuds so I have nothing to compare them to.

Easy set up, good speed and coverage
on March 2, 2016
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Out of the box, assembled up and running in under 30 minutes and that was reading the manual from front to back, even though I knew what to do.
The user interface/app is straight forward and easy to use. Those wanting more control will/should use the devices web page. I like how you can e-mail the password to a guest.
The supplied network cable is short so depending upon where you want to place it have an extra length available. The unit is on the large side but not overly large just know that going in for placement.
After hooked up running and all my other devices running I started it to work. Streaming, gaming, Skype you name it. Videos streamed well, no buffering or lag times. I went upstairs, down and outside. As always (plaster walls) signal strength was lower in the basement but still very good. Outside I was about 100 feet from my house and still had signal.
WPS button is small to prevent accidental activation (good). Power light is different color so there is no guessing (good).
Have been running/using for about 3 weeks no issues. I have not done any speed tests but I have noticed an improvement over my prior router.

What's great about it: Coverage, signal strength and set up
What's not so great: Short network cable, smart wi-fi interface does not give you total control but for the average user it is ok; runs warm

Exceeded expectations at this price point
on November 29, 2015
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Packaging was well thought-out and everything was protected well. I also like that the sound bar was in its own sleeve. The unit comes with RCA cables, it you want a better connection and sound you will have to purchase a optical audio cable. The system comes with a mounting template that was excellent in lieu of measuring. Placement of the sound bar has a profound effect on the sound. I would suggest, as best you can, try it at different heights before selecting a final placement. The finishes of the room can make a difference.
I used the supplied RCA cables, watched some TV an listened to the opening scene of Start Trek. Then I swapped out the RCA cables for a optical cable, noticeable difference in my room. This is a second TV and my first sound bar try. My main system is 7.1 speaker system driven Denon receiver and I honestly wasn't expecting much. This is not that type of system, however the sound was very rich an surprising.
The highs were high, almost had a tin-e sound to it, the mids were good and the base filled the room. The sub woofer, for a six inch produced great rich base. Dialogue in movies is easily understood and not faint.
There are three settings on the system via the remote. Don't misplace the remote. You can control the sub volume from he remote as well as overall volume. When you turn off the TV, the system powers down. Connecting my I-Phone to stream music was effortless.
Overall this exceeded m expectations at this price point and I am very pleased with the performance of this system. I would highly recommend giving it a listen.

Squeaky clean and quiet

Installed it in about 40 minutes and it works flawlessly. Hidden controls are great looking, thank goodness for the LED light on the floor while it is running or I wouldn't know it is on.
It does not have a heated dry cycle but if you read the directions and follow them everything comes out pretty dry. Our old dishwasher had a dry cycle and from time to time there would be water on the tops of cups etc.. The drying agents do help but you may have to lightly towel off certain things.
The third rack creates a lot of flexibility because your silverware is now out of the way. The tines on the second and first racks are not real intuitive, it will take a few cycles to learn how to fill it. The directions have some suggestions but practice makes perfect.
Not sure how the lack of a hard food disposer is going to fair. The screen is easy to remove but I can imagine if it is not kept clean it will create an odor?
All in all a bit pricey but it is a very good dishwasher thus far.
What's great about it: Quiet, cleans well, great looks
What's not so great: No heated dry...but..

I have had this for two weeks, great phone. Yep, the screen is a little smaller an it doesn't have the big processors like the Samsung or big battery like the DROID MAXX... but, it is not bloated with extra stuff and is the purest Google operating system phone.
I read about camera issues, have not experienced any, Kit Kat loaded immediately after I turned it on.
It hasn't frozen or lagged on me once. The google talk function is awesome, very little effort was needed to sync it with my voice and it works flawlessly.
I have gone a full day on one charge with light/moderate use, have not had a "heavy" day yet but based on how the phone is configured to save battery by limited screen view and processor usage, it shouldn't be a problem.
Plus, it is assembled here in the USA, that is really what sold it for me.

Doesn't fit screen
on November 23, 2013
Posted by: Justjohnne
from Grosse Pointe
I agree with other posts, this does not fit the screen, it is not wide enough. By not wide enough we are talking 1/16" - 1/8" overall, that is quite a bit considering. The newer shield (High Definition model) has a smoother less tacky feel to it, I like it. Because it is not wide enough it does make a visible difference on the side of the screen when viewing. I'm not sure if this is to be case friendly (as the Best Buy Mobile guy told me), because of the thin bezel on the screen or did ZAGG just miss the specs on this one?
However, it still does a great job of protecting the screen and does not effect viewing quality, except on the outside edges.
What's great about it: Screen protection
What's not so great: Doesn't fit width of screen

Wants you to use it in landscape mode which just takes some getting used to however will rotate screen to portrait.
Slow response time.

I first loaded it the same way my phone was set up. It seemed very, very slow. I then reset it and set it up as a new device, a little better as it was now set up like a tablet. The touch screen seemed to be iffy at times. This is not a fast tablet, it often has to think for several seconds before it does what you command, it only has 1 GB RAM which always seems to be at capacity. I connected to my network late at night when usage was non-existent, still slow as compared to other devices. I find the battery life to be lacking compared to "fruit" products, no experience with other android tablets. ACER claims 10 hours, even at medium use I doubt it would get me there. Good thing is you are never far from a USB outlet.
I would consider this for a kids first tablet, by kid standards these days 5 and under. It just can't compete with some of the other tablets for an adult for few hundred dollars more.

UPDATE..
October 24, 2016
After some additional experience I can't recommend this tablet. It continues to be so slow it is irritating to use. The ACER bloatware is not giving errors and shutting down. Although the price makes this attractive look elsewhere.

I have the 300 soundbar with wireless woofer and mids. Is the 700 soundbar compatible?
All things equal (add ons and room set up) the 700 is superior as a main AV Theatre system. The 300 is a great system, especially if you have limited space and a smaller budget.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 deliver everything you expect from Bluetooth headphones – and some things you never imagined possible. It’s no surprise PC Magazine called them “The best active noise cancellation you can buy.” Eleven levels of noise cancellation feature a range of options to choose from. You can totally eliminate distractions or minimize noise cancelling to hear everything around you. Or choose from nine other levels in between. Active noise cancelling technology in Bose Headphones 700 monitors the sounds around you and instantly cancels out unwanted noise to let your music shine through. At the same time, the acoustic space inside the earcups is maximized to give your music depth and detail. With these noise cancelling headphones, it’s not just your music that’s clear, so are your calls. The unrivaled microphone system uses a series of microphones to adapt in real time to noisy and windy environments so voices sound crystal clear on calls. Voice commands are also captured with unprecedented accuracy. The stunning new design of Bose Headphones 700 features a streamlined stainless-steel headband and a lightweight, comfortable fit that’s perfect for all-day listening. With these wireless headphones you get up to 20 hours of battery life and time-based power information per charge. Bose Headphones 700. The wireless headphones everyone is talking about.
Will these still be secure in their noise cancellation even when you wear glasses? The bow of my glasses it pretty thick and I notice some noise cancellation is compromised with the wearing of my glasses with the QC35II I wear now.
I wear Oakley black framed glasses, the frame is somewhat thick and I have had no problems. The foam pieces are almost like a memory foam and squish around them pretty snuggly.
