Good video
on October 1, 2017

The video is bright whether the room is well lit or dark. I have tried a white, and black surface. As bright as it is the color was stronger using a black surface. With today's technology I am surprised that wifi was not built in. You have to purchase a wifi usb adaptor from Epson. It's not cheap. I have played using a game counsel with great response and watched a movie and regular tv. The focus is set manually. The screen size depends on how far the device is from the surface as well as manual adjustment.

These Jaybird Freedom 2 headphones have a great sound. Rich bass, great mids and highs. The ear pieces are the easiest I have ever changed from one size to the next. Just make sure you attach the new ones on cause they will fall off real easy. I would give these headphones a five except for one major draw back. The battery. It comes with 2 batteries to give you the full amount of listening time. The second battery is unessarily a bulky attachment. The extra battery is what you plug in to charge from an outlet. Also their range is not very long compared to other cheaper headphones. Still though they are worth the purchase.

Great sound

I received the Bose Soundlink Micro Bluetooth Speaker through Best Buy. I always wanted a Bose because their displays have always sounded good in-store so why not. Ibwas a little sceptical because of the size as to how good it could it be. In truth it was better than I thought it would be. Out of the box it's heavy for its size. A good thing if you ask me. I have 2 other Bluetooth speakers also from Best Buy. The JBL Charge 2 which is a good speaker but not very loud. I also have the Lifeproof and it is not so good. It has a plastic box sound to it and is quite compared to the other 2 speakers. The Bose has crisp clean sound. The bass is not special but Bose wants what I think is quality overall sound. So don't go looking for deep rich bass. If you want good overall sound and loud for such a small speaker then this is your speaker of choice. It does recommend that you download their app before you connect. According to the app it allows you to connect another Bose speaker through Bluetooth. I just might have to purchase one to test this out. The Bose is worth the price of admission.

I received this vacuum from Shark through Best Buy. Right out of the box it was simple to assemble. It has 3 attachments 1 of which has no where to put on the vacuum. It is the pet attachment. I wanted to tryout this vacuum because I have 3 dogs one of which sheds horribly while the other two shed very little. Once together I start it up. It's quite. But that's where the nice features end. I don't even finish half the room and it clogs right away. The floor in question is hardwood. There is a long path for the dirt to travel. I received a Dyson from Best Buy earlier this year, but without the pet attachments and it has given me no problems. It also has a short travel path for the dirt to the canister. The Shark vacuum might work better if you have no pets or pets that don't shed very much.

Upon pulling this product out of the box and setting it up use was easy. Following the instructions and recipes I was making good tasting fresh juice. The only thing o don't like is that it takes several fruit pieces to make a cup. You can modify the drinks any way you want once squeezed. Like adding yougart, milk, and or sugar. Still it is easy to use.

After receiving the samsung home connect system I unboxed the three routers and placed them each on a different floor. Once set up I accessed my Samsung Galaxy s7 phone. At first I used the samsung Connect app. It didn't work. It would find them but wouldn't set them up. I did a little digging and found the Samsung Smart Home app in Google play app store. I installed it. Opened it. From there it was smooth sailing. All three floors have great signal and fast download and upload speeds. Now I just need to get other Smart Home devices. I do have the samsung robo vac which is quite handy when you don't want to worry about vacumming.

Upon receiving this coffee maker I took it out of the box. It was easy to set up as there is nothing to assemble. Simply unwrap it and plug it in. It has a reservoir that you detach to fill with water. It holds enough for 2-3 cups before needing to be refilled. You can use the carafe or a mug without having the warmer activate. It needs to be preheated before use which I found odd. Setting the time and delay are pretty straight forward. It comes with it's own wire filter, so no need to purchase any. Especially paper. The coffee is good on any setting. This coffee maker is worth the price and good addition to any home.

The sound quality descent. I will admit I have tried several of the included ear rubbers but none of them seem to properly enclose my earholes. I do know that that is contributing to sound quality. I've never had this problem with other ear buds before. They hook around the ears which is fine but when I move in certain positions they have a tendency to fall out. I'm at my job for 9 hrs/day and haven't had to recharge them so I'll believe that they will last the stated 12hrs. My biggest complaint I have with them is that when I first connect them to my phone for the day they inform me that the battery is low. However they work fine. One last thing is the range is superb. The is a lot metal aluminum and titanium and I have left my phone plugged in to walk several yards away and they stay connected no problem. Something I haven't been able to half the distance with the other Bluetooth ear buds. Overall they are a good buy and worth the investment to purchase them.

The bot was easy to set up. I have a Samsung galaxy s7 and had the app already installed. Also the remote is fairly easy to operate. The one complaint I have is that there is only 3 directions to control. Also the vacuum is quiet unlike a normal vacuums. So it's great to set up to clean in the middle of the night while you sleep. When you unbox the bot you must first plug it in to charge. Place it in an area that it will easily be able to maneuver where it needs to go. Make sure you don't have a lot of stuff on the floor especially when you first set it up as it needs to map your home or the area it will clean. I have hard wood flooring and it works great.

It is a good speaker. Decent sound but doesn't get to loud and not very much bass. It's easy to set up. Small and can charge 3 devices at once. The compartment that it has can possibly fit an iphone4 or similarly sized phone. It's durable and can handle a splash of water easily. I have the JBL Charge 2 which is a much better sounding speaker but the volume level is approximately the same between the speakers. Overall this lifeproof speaker is good.
