Enjoy powerful bass in a minimalistic design using this Sonance cabinet subwoofer. The crossover control offers a clear transition of bass frequencies when connected to your main speakers for smoother bass response, while a ground lift switch eliminates most ground noises to minimize distortion. This Sonance cabinet subwoofer features a textured finish and black cloth grille for added durability.

First off Sonance would never have been y first choice, but after hearing this sub I will be sure to not pass them by again. I replaced a Definitive ProSub1000 and am much happier with this little guy.
The 1000 has two options for tuning the sub, volume and crossover. The Sonance adds phasing which really helped out in my home theater. This sub is priced the same and only has a third of the power of my 1000 but seemed to have a tighter bass hit and less rattle throughout the house.
I hit it hard with music right off the bat, then played a few video games and right in to the non stop action of John Wick 3 and was never let down, was a perfect pairing with my Klipsch RF 7's.
Spend some time fine tuning the sub to match with your room and your speakers and you should be super happy when the bass comes on.

I never knew this type of massage therapy existed till Theragun. I work hard and play hard and am glad to have this device in my life. The best use for me has been my back pains (knots) and my messed up arm. I also use it for in between sets working out or after for a nice cool down.
I get huge knots in my back that usually require massage therapy but now with the ray gun I can take care of it myself. The adjustable head makes it a cinch to get back into those hard to reach areas when nobody is around to help out.
For my arm, its self diagnosed tendinitis that has bothered me for years and continues to get worse, to the point where I don't want to even pick up a glass of water with that arm. But the ra gun is definitely helping, doesn't make the pain go away but for sure makes it feel less intense on bad days and during and after a work out.
It comes with a real nice case and many attachments for different areas and uses, plus two batteries and a charger. Download the app for detail and tips on how to use the gun for different ailments. I feel like I ave yet to reap all the benefits of this device and will continue to get amazing results from it.

Great add to the kitchen but the grill is lacking

Posted by: Oldskool

First off let me tell you I love Ninja products, I have many of them and have zero complaints.I have a few for this one though. This may be better suited for a single person or a couple with limited options for grilling, maybe a place with horrible weather? I will for sure use a outdoor grill over this grill. But the other functions are great! We started off with something simple, chicken kebobs, they were grilled to perfection but I could only fit two in there, or four "mini" skewers which is still two skewers in my book. The grill heats up quickly and has almost no smoke as described.
The dehydrator works great and I made some jerky and sun dried tomatoes that both turned out amazing.
This will be my go to for making bacon as well, toss it in and no more bacon splatter all over the place, I have splatter shields but this makes life tons easier and it cooks up quick.
My frustrations come with the included inserts that don't stack nor can they be all inserted into the grill so the lid can be closed. Also there is no cord management, this is very aggravating, a retractable cord or a couple tabs to wrap the cord around would not be hard to incorporate into this grill. Even a detachable cord you could unplug toss into the grill would work.
Cleaning was quick and easy each time.

Find the best fishing spots with this PowerDolphin Wizard water drone. The included PowerSeeker gives you data on water conditions, and the BaitBox function lets you drop bait to attract fish. This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.

At first I had many issues getting the devices to connect with either cable or WiFi. I reset the app many times and eventually gave up for a bit. I tried again another day and this time tossed it into the tub to see if that would help and once in the water it wakes right up, this drone needs to be in the water to respond to the app.
The drone comes boxed up well and in nice tight packaging. It was much larger than I had expected to be but looks sleek and futuristic. Once un-boxed get the charger and plug in the drone battery, remote and sonar device. Its a great plus that these devices all plug into one charger at the same time.
Of course the day I went to the lake for it's maiden voyage the lake was super busy. I had to contest with dogs and frustrated people fishing until I showed them that this wasn't just some toy that it could actually benefit our day fishing. At first many thought I was out just playing.
Out on the water it zips around with ease and turns on a dime. I had major lag in camera mode to the propellers. Everything else was fine but the drone would slow then burst occasionally. Once back in cruising mode that weird lag would go away. The 4k camera is amazing, I wish I could upload videos, but here are a few pics.
The bait trailer was cool as well as the line release. I could get my lure way out beyond cast range or down into a nook near the grass or dark deep crevices to find the fish hiding out. It worked flawlessly.
I do have some complaints. The micro SD card requires small fingers, I had to use small bent needle nose pliers. Be sure to close the seal when you put the SD card back. While in camera mode the drone looks like its going to sink over time, switch it back to cruise mode and it gets back above plane. I think it would sink if continued to run around for a long time in camera mode. Make sure to wear some shorts.
We are going out again this weekend to a different lake. Can't wait to run it again and catch dinner.I also need to test out the light since I forget while at the lake. I did test it out at home and it was very bright.

Obviously if your looking at this mouse you are here for the higher end gaming type mouse. So far this mouse does not disappoint. Look and feel is similar to the last model and feels great in the hand. The RGB lighting is always a great touch and can be turned off all together. The battery charges up quickly and seems to last forever, you will almost forget its rechargeable until it reminds you that the battery is low. The weight of the mouse is adjustable to your liking which is a great touch.
Running the mouse through the trenches and it performs well with whatever you throw out it. Be sure to download the software to get the full potential and button programming. My G403 is still ticking and would assume this unit will do the same if treated nicely.

240Hz gaming monitor! What a crystal clear display for gaming, movies and any other uses. I ran this thing through some intense matches and watched some sports as well, nothing could phase it. Ghosting was non-existent and clarity was top notch. I can't wait to get two more for my new rack. Use the display port to sync with your GPU for amazing quality and zero lag. USB hub built in, VESA mount and anti glare screen finish it off. A six pack of these would be AMAZING!

Plus dual mics offer clear phones calls. Powerful batteries and the included charging case let these JLab JBuds Air Executive true wireless earbuds deliver up to 30 total hours of massive sound.

Way to go Jlab! Not usually my go to brand but these hit all the check points. My favorite feature is the touch controls, no buttons! Just have to get down the amount of taps for which function on which bud, then its easy street. These sound very comparable to $200 buds and look great too! As you probably already know, these come with a case that also charges the buds about 4 times before needing to be recharged itself. EQ setting help customize your listening preferences and its done right on the bud, no need to access an app first. Foam inserts sound the best and provide the best noise canceling as well, which can also be changed with a few taps. Sleek, easy to use, above average sound, charging case and low cost to own. If these ever go on sale they will be a steal.

I have nothing wrong to complain about here except for the junk mouse and keyboard included, why even include it? Nobody buys a gaming PC and purchases the cheapest keyboard and mouse they can buy, just leave it out.
The computer however paired with the HP Omen X 25 monitor is fantastic. Runs anything you toss at and keeps cool and quiet. The accent lighting is great and changeable.
HP is really upping their game these days. I am typing this review on my HP Envy x360 Convertible and have enjoyed this laptop immensely. I get new laptops every year for work but still prefer jumping on my Envy, and I've had some impressive machines. Still prefer my HP Envy.
You will not be disappointed unless you were buying this for a keyboard and mouse haha.

Not sure how much to say about a microwave. It's not as impressive looking inside or out as others but is nice and simple looking. It heats very well and throughout. I get no cold spots and it seems to heat things up quickly. I don't cook with microwaves but re-heat daily since I meal prep. I used to always heat up half way then mix and continue heating. I can honestly just heat and eat now, each bite as warm as the other. Works great!

What a great addition to my windshield. I can't wait till these are incorporated into the radar detector itself. One less thing to stand out. Set up was simple using my pixel. The lense has a great wide angle and a superb picture. It would be nice if you could rotate the camera to record the cab and have it automatically flip the image. I am super satisfied with this dash camera and can't wait to see what else Escort comes out with!

As you can see, I have to place the IR blaster in plain sight. It states you can place them behind cabinet doors, but it doesn't work. Also, you need to use both blasters. Often I have a problem beyond 6' with both blasters.
As for the mobile app, it's useless. I find it really difficult to believe people claiming to replace their remote with this. You can't even customize the buttons and you have to scroll through 3 or 4 screens to perform a simple command. As you can see in the picture, if I simply want to surf the satellite guide, I (1) select the device or activity, then it takes me to page 3, then (2) I have to scroll to page 4, (3) press Guide, (4) scroll back to page 3, (5) scroll back to page 2, (6) use the direction or page up/down buttons to surf. If I need information, I have to (7) scroll forward to page 3, then (8) scroll forward to page 4, (9) select Info, then if I need to go back to the guide I have to (10) scroll back to page 3, (11) scroll back to page 2, (12) press Return, (13) and surf some more. Let's see, at least 13 steps. BUT, there's no Exit button to get out of the guide, so I'm stuck there! Useless; too much work and it's missing some buttons.
As for the touch screen, you see need to look at it to know which button to press. Sure there's vibration after to press the button, but you can't feel for the button before you press it. Then you have to scroll a million pages up/down to find your desired command. With the old 880/890 you can scroll left and right to get to the desired screen which then holds 6 commands. It's more efficient, and you can feel for the buttons.

Setup is wrong
July 25, 2015
As Eric said your IR blasters need to be at devices they are controlling. The receiver takes the remote signals with RF and transfers the signal to the IR blasters to control each device. They do not need to be in the field of view. Try reading the directions or asking for help, your review is bad due to operator error not the device. Also you bought it knowing it was touch screen doh. I have all my components in a hall closet and everything works great! Just be sure to place your IR blasters near the components IR sensor. I just stuck mine to the inside of the door and they all reach the components.

How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.
This drone does not go under water, its a boat with a underwater camera.

This Hoover REACT cordless pet vacuum uses a long-lasting lithium battery, so you can clean the whole room without a recharge.
Does vacuum only clean one room on a full charge?
No it has a great battery. I guess it would depend on how dirty your house is and the type of floors. For me, I am able to vacuum my entire 1800sq ft house which is all hardwoods, told bathrooms and area rugs here and there. It's awesome!
