Descent Battery life
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
Out of the box they were easy to setup. The sound is ok at best. There is very little bass. Calls are very clear and the other person can't tell you are using them. The battery lasts about 4hrs and takes about 1.5hrs to recharge in their case. The case provides about 4 recharges but continuously charges the headphones so you might want to charge the case daily. They come with a 3 different ear pieces and a silicon outer wrap that you can put on them. I did put them on and was a good thing to do as it helped them to stay in my ears during a workout and the various positions I'm in at work. Overall though they are worth purchasing.

Easy setup

I received the registration code via mail. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. I installed it on my smart phone a tablet, and my laptop. So far it has eliminated some pesky pop ups on my smart phone. It doesn't drain the battery on any of my devices. Nor does it interfere with how they operate. When I install a new app or update an existing app it verifies they are virus free. Bit defender is customisable. On my smart phone it can lock or wipe it remotely if lost or stolen.

Easy setup

First thing download the Google home app. Setup from the app makes things easy to get the speaker connected to the network and internet. If you have an android phone then you are probably already used to saying "Hey Google or Ok Google" to get your phone to do things. This is nothing different. The only problem I had was getting the speaker and phone to use Bluetooth so that I could stream music from my phone. Didn't need to just wanted to try it out. On a hunch I asked Google to connect the my phone with the speaker and it worked. I also asked for Google to disconnect the Bluetooth and that too worked. The sound quality is great and the Mic on the speaker can hear my voice over the music playing even at full volume.

Good blender
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
Out of the box it's ready to use. The button layout is simple and easy to navigate. You can choose to use a preset that has has a count down timer that stops the blender on it own or use it to mix until you think it's ready. It comes with a heavy duty plug. It feels solid and well built. The mixing container is plastic which I don't care for, but it's easy to read the measurements. Over all it's a well built blender.

Good sound
on November 9, 2017
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
This is a good sounding pair of headphones. It has three earbud options. The earbuds also have the external ear pieces so that they don’t fall out while doing whatever it is you are doing. I also like the fact that the wire connecting the ear pieces is surrounded by a fiber instead of plastic. I sweat a lot and the cords have a tendency to stick to my neck and can pull out of my ear if I move my head just right.

Good system
on November 9, 2017
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
This security camera system was easy to set up. Download the app on your smartphone. Plug the base into the wall and router. Start the app and follow the directions. Once set up I did have to update the firmware. It does give you three options of recording from a free option And two that cost per year. Each one gives you a little more options. In less than 15mins I was able to watch myself walk across the room, wave and speak. This is a good product stater pack that can grow as your needs grow.

Out of the box it looks intimidating with all the parts that it comes with. But really it’s simple to put together. I didn’t need to read the directions. Out of habit I charged the battery before I first used it. For a cordless it works pretty good. It’s not as powerful as a corded vacuum. However it still gets the job done with power to spare and battery life left. I have hardwood flooring through the house. Carpet in two rooms. It was able to work on both surfaces with no problem. I have three dogs one of which sheds horribly but this vacuum picked up all the hair no problem. It worth money in my opinion.

Can’t stress this enough. Take a picture of the wiring before you take apart the old thermostat. Watch the video also. Setup was real easy and took about 30min at the wall and about 5-10 min online to register. Once setup you can play with the controls however you. The app is easy to use. The device itself displays the outside temp and humidity as well as inside temp and humidity. You may not care about that but I find it a nice feature.

Great sound
on October 31, 2017
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
First of the sound is by far the best quality I've heard I a pair of ear buds. Good bass, miss, and highs. The noise canceling works good for the eviornment they are subjected to. They are light weight and comfortable. My biggest problem is that they do not have ear adapters to hold them in place. They have a tendency to fall out of my ears. Yes I have tried the other inner ear prices it comes with. What they need is the external ear prices. Otherwise they are a great buy.

Good moniter
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: fargofar
from Athens, ga
Set-up: Easy as pie. No instructions needed. Cable supplied not compatable with video card on my computer. However HDMI works great. The stand is in two parts with one screw that no screwdriver is need for and just snapes onto the monitor.
Screen: Very bright. Colors: Wonderful. For a 1080P monitor you don't need 4k, it looks that good.
Viewing area: There is no bezel to speak of on the sides and top. However, there is a quarter inch area on the sides and top that are not used. My old ACER monitor had that quarter inch bezel to cover the unused area.
Played Smash Frenzy 4 from Big Fish games and Big Jig (a jigsaw puzzle) from Lena games. There was a one inch unsable area on the to of the monitor and quarter inch unused area on the side.
Drivers: Monitor was in use out of the box. However Set up a log-in on the ACER site to download any driver(s) available. To my surprise and confusion, NO Win10 drivers. Saw Win7 and Win 8 32 bit and 64 bit drivers though.
Findings: For a novice user, setup could not be easier and usable straight from the box is an A.
Setting up an account with ACER is easy and is an A.
Driver update is only useful if you still use Win 7 or 8. That gets an A. BUT for those of us using Win 10 driver update gets an F.
Overall, this monitor is a better than a good buy for ease of set-up and usability out of the box. I would rate this monitor a great buy if ACER had drivers for Win10. That might eliminate the unusable area on the sides and top.
