I received this hair dryer because my fiance is a licensed professional hair and makeup artist. After she tried it out she told me that it works as described and is a good hair dryer. However it is too heavy to be used in a profesional manner. It is more than suitable for home use.

I received the Polk Boom Bit speaker today. Charged it up. Connected it (which is extremely easy) and played some audio. It works and the sound is ok. Nothing to impressive. It's a personal speaker that you clip to your shirt collar. If there are other sounds that are loud they will overpower this speaker. It is very tiny. If you really want music, or a book while you do what it is that you do. I would suggest a pair of headphones. This speaker is more a gimmick and not worth your money.

These headphones work just fine on my Galaxy s7 and my PS4. They have their own volume control which is nice. The headphones can get pretty loud but what is nice is that very little sound if any escapes when turned up full. The highs, mids, and lows are about even so don't expect Dr. Dre bass. The microphone slides in and out easily enough and you can be heard over a phone conversation of PS4. The ear cushions are soft and can be worn for however long you like without to mich discomfort.

This replaced a 6 year old trimmer also from Philips-Norelco. The old trimmer was simple and didn't offer a lot of different features but worked well enough. The new trimmer is loaded with multiple features such as a shaver, nose hair trimmer, and standard hair trimmer with multiple attachments for various lengths of cutting. I have had this for a few months now and has worked great at cutting my hair using the standard trimmer. I have used the shaver and found that it can only get so close. I prefer a razor. The battery charges incredibly fast and holds it for several uses. I will say however it sometimes sounds like it's losing power while I trim my head. Yes I trim my enter head with it. The button is placed poorly as I have shut the trimmer off several times during the process and have had to learn finger placement to reduce the circumstances to a minimum. I have yet to try the wet feature so I can't write about it. Overall it have been a great product.

Received the Orbi Wifi ac3000 system in the mail. Upon opening the box I immediately plugged the main into the modem and the satellite in an outlet in another part of the house. I pressed the sync button on both and they connected no problem. I then connected my computer to the new network and immediately it took me through the setup process. In just a few minutes I was able to access the internet. My home is over 2000 sq.ft. and with both the main and satellite I get total coverage.

Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.

The setup was extremely easy. I just plugged it into the outlet and used my tablet to connect to the device wirelessly. It walked me through the setup to connect to the main router then it helped me find the optimal location for it. With it connected to my network my devices do operate more smoothly. However since I received this device and started using it every so often my devices pause abruptly. Sometimes I have to restart the tablet, smartphone, or whatever. Sometimes simply restart the app. Overall still a good product.

Take your work and entertainment with you with this Acer Iconia One 10-inch tablet. The large screen is powered by 1GB of RAM and a quad-core 1.3 GHz processor for high efficiency, and 32GB of flash memory gives you plenty of file storage. The 5-megapixel rear camera lets you take photos using this Acer Iconia One 10-inch tablet anywhere.

This is a well made product that has good battery life depending on use vs standby. The screen is clear and easily read. Pictures and videos look good but nothing spectacular. The two cameras are ok at best and better to be used in good lighting at the very least. One thing about the screen that surprises me is there is no auto brightness feature. I find that odd for android, but this is my first android tablet so I don't know if this is common. I'm basing this from my android smart phone. My main use for this tablet is to read eBooks. I did install the Mortal Kombat X app, which I'm surprised it was playable. The graphics looked good but the touch screen was a little out of sync. The tablet is sluggish which I believe is caused by the limited amount of system memory, 1gb. Acer should have used 2gb if not 4gb to help this tablet operate decently. This tablet is however in my opinion made for beginners and not power users, as it quickly runs low on system memory. The tablet does however have an app that lets you optimize the memory, but it is very limited and often when "cleaned" more memory is being used. This does come with 32gb of storage so there is plenty. Plus you can add more storage later if you need to. If you are a power user look elsewhere this is not for you. If you are a beginner or just want something simple then this is definitely your tablet. It will run most, if not all, apps that you might want to use. I would recommend this to my mother, who has trouble using a Windows PC, if she wanted a tablet.

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: fargofar
I have been using WiFi since "B" was the speed demon everyone wanted to have if they went wireless. Then I upgraded to "G". Then to "N". All three routers were made by Linksys. Only the "N" router was a disappointment as connectivity was not the great. It also had a USB port for a hard drive or printer. I have an external drive that I used with it; but was rather difficult to set up. Because of how difficult the "N" router was I made the switch to the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 router. I continued to use the external drive but it too was difficult to use on my network. Also connectivity while better than the previous Linksys "N" router it too had problems but not many. The biggest reason I purchased the Nighthawk is because of all the devices I have that traverse the internet at any given time. I have 4 smart phones, 4 tablets, 2 Blu-ray players, a smart TV, 2 Xbox One's, an Apple TV, and a desktop computer that I built, plus a wireless printer. When I came across this Linksys router I read the description and knew I had to get it and try it out. What intrigued me most was the fact that all three radio transmitter/receivers could be named the same. The printer still uses the 2.4 GHz while most of my other devices can use the 5 GHz or the 2.4 GHz. With the Nighthawk I had to switch to the 2.4 GHz radio if I wanted to print something. When I received the Linksys I unboxed it and set it up immediately. I have to say that I have never had a router set up so fast and so easy. Even the external hard drive was easy and was readily available for use. Which I tested it on one of my Xboxes, a tablet, and desktop. The printer was connected easy enough and was able to print right away. I do not use the WPS. I prefer old school set up to create my own network passcode so it took time connecting all of my devices. I also installed the android app on my phone and while at work I was able to connect to the router and see in real time the health of my network which is a good feature; but not sure how much I will use it. So far I have had zero connectivity issues which speaks well of the construction of this router. Great job Linksys, I'm glad to own one again.

I returned a Samsung 40" to a competitor after I brought this TV home and tried it out. First let me say that the Insignia is no Samsung TV. The quality and size of this TV did sway me enough to return the Samsung because I wanted a larger TV for my Xbox1. The graphic detail of the games on the Insignia are great and Blu-Ray movies compare to the Samsung. In some ways the Insignia is better overall in visual quality. The Samsung was so vivid and rich with color detail during game play that it over powered some of the what the artist put into the game. The Insignia is vivid but more subtle allowing you to see what the artist had intended. The games most played is "Destiny" and "Forza Horizon 2". Destiny looks better on the Insignia while Forza looks better on the Samsung but marginally so. It was the lighting that was the difference. Daytime was sharper and crisper on the Samsung while nighttime is better on the Insignia. Blu-Ray movies were spot on with each other that I could not tell them apart. I used James Cameron's "Avatar" for comparison as it is a movie with a lot of color depth and was filmed in 4k although on 1080p you see none of that. The HDMI cord is a "Black Platinum" Monster cable instead of what came with the Xbox. Let me tell you that the picture detail is night and day better with the Monster cable. The biggest complaint I have with the Insignia is gradients. It can not do gradients while the Samsung can and do so with brilliance! That may not seem like much but it almost caused me to return it in favor of the smaller Samsung. Sound quality is another area that separates the brands quite effectively. The Samsung has ok sound reproduction but you have to turn the volume up to what I think should be louder than necessary to hear it. The Insignia, however, has better than ok sound and at a acceptable level. For those looking for great sound look to a sound bar or a full fledged home theater setup. These are cheap TV's. If you want movie theater sound from a TV look elsewhere and do some demo testing and even then you may still want to spend the money on a home theater setup.
Overall the insignia is a good purchase with good gaming visuals and great Blu-Ray playback! The sound is also better than ok and doesn't take much before it becomes too loud!
Also one last thing. You will want to set the Insignia picture quality to "vivid", first. Then you will also, under advance video, want to turn Over scan Off, have the Dynamic Backlight#DCR# set to high, and Insignia Motion to Ultra Smooth. This will change the picture quality to custom, but set the all the other settings where you want them. Otherwise the TV is rather dull and lifeless in my opinion.
I hope this helps!

Good addition to the 360

I just got this in the mail today, from Best Buy, and set it up. It was so easy. I have the old 360 so I had to plug it in the wall also. No big deal. I do suggest you calibrate it right after you perform the initial setup. Not that hard. Oh and setup up your facial recognition right away too. Also not hard, but time consuming. So far I only have the game it comes with. I have to say it is fun to play. I have the Wii , it is fun also, and I love the idea of no controllers to worry about.
For some of you people calling this a bad Wii copy, you need to look at the PS3 Eye.I do think it is a great gaming system. It is a bad Wii copy. The Kinect while does give you motion sensing tech there is no controller except you. Are you too lazy to play?
I have to say that for the price I am disappointed in the camera quality. 1megapixil. Seriously. $150 and all I get is 1mp. Their are HD quality usb cameras that perform 30fps for your PC for half that price. I am not saying I want 1080p but lets be real people, 1mp cameras were top-of-line 15 years ago. $80 gets you 10mp cameras.
I also wish that you could use it to navigate the main dashboard. Using it in other programs would be nice like Netflix. Other games would be nice. I know, the software has to be written to support it, and it would take to much time and money to make every game work with it. Hence the word "wish.
I haven't played with it much yet, but I do like what I have done with it so far. This is something that has long since been coming. I for one am glad it is finally here. I intend to use it to it fullest potential. I feel Microsoft really out did themselves with this. I can only hope that game manufacturers take advantage of it as well. It would be interesting if someone could develop a first-person shooter, like "Black Ops", to work with it.
What's great about it: No controllers and, oh no controllers.
What's not so great: Camera is only 1 megapixil and over priced

As long as the speaker has volume control you should.

Does this TV base allow you to swivel the TV left/right?
No it does not. I would suggest a swivel wall mount if you want that feature, or maybe find a swivel base to place under the TV. I don't know if anyone makes such a thing, but maybe.
