Average vacuum.
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
I've owned multiple vacuums over the years, when it comes to this one, I was both impressed and disappointed. I was impressed because it did a great job at vacuuming carpet. The suction was so good, that the carpet actually felt softer after I was done cleaning. I was disappointed because it was heavy, hard to maneuver, the controls are in awkward places and the hand tools were so tough to maneuver my hand was hurting.

Better than last years model.

So far my experience with this router can be best characterized as good. Initial set up was a bit of a pain because it did not want to connect to the internet. However, once it did the router was great. It definitely is noticeably faster and has decent coverage throughout the house.

Great for a small business

If you have a need for scanning multi -page documents, to include double sided pages, then this is the scanner for you. This scanner is faster than some thousand dollar professional grade scanners I have used. Also, the software used to run it, is a super simple interface that is easy to install and it doesn't come with all the bloatware that you find on consumer grade scanners.

Good but not great
on August 11, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
from Glenn Dale, MD
I was excited to try this soundbar and kinda ended up a little disappointed.
The things I like are that it looks nice and the sub woofer is wireless. Also, Setting up the soundbar was really simple, I connected mine to my TV via HDMI and the wireless sub connected instantly without any issue. After, watching mostly movies and the news the past few days, I can say that I like the sound and think its a pretty good. Of the 5 built in sound settings, the Cinema sound setting is the best.
The reason I was disappointed was because the HDMI pass-thru only works when the soundbar is turned on. Also, the soundbar doesn't automatically turn on/off when the TV is powered on/off. You have to use the soundbars remote control to manually turn it on and off.

Best Coffee Maker Ever
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
I've owned quite a few coffee makers throughout the years and this is the best I've ever owned. This isn't my first Ninja coffee maker, I actually have the previous generation of it. In my picture I have the old one to the left and the new one to the right.The only changes from the previous version is that they changed the color and shape of the coffee cup holder and they traded the coffee selector knob for individual buttons. Aside from that, it is the same coffee maker. With that being said it is still the best coffee maker ever!
Things I like about it are:
Its fast! it can brew a cup, large cup, half craft, and full craft in less than 4 minutes.
It uses less coffee than a traditional coffee maker. I used to use 4 scoops and now I use two.
My favorite coffee taste stronger, richer and more flavorful.
If you are in the market for a coffee maker for yourself or even a gift. This is the one to buy!
In my picture I have the old one to the left and the new one to the right.

After, using these for a few days I'm impressed. The build quality is top notch, they have great sound and have the most comfortable ear pads I've ever felt on my ears. Also, the Bluetooth works great and it quickly connects to my phone without any issues.

Great Bluetooth Range
on June 29, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
Initially, I was a little disappointed in the way it felt when i put them in my ears, but after a little while they started to feel pretty comfortable and very secure. The sound quality is pretty good although there isn't much Bass and the range of the bluetooth is outstanding. I was walking around my house and didn't even realize I left my phone downstairs.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

Greatest Mouse...Ever!
on June 29, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
I never thought I would be excited about a mouse, but I am =-D. Initially, I thought the price was too high, but it is worth every penny. In the box, you get the laser mouse, USB cable and a dongle. personally, I'm not a fan of dongles, so i was very happy to see that I didn't need it, because, if you already have bluetooth on your computer it will pair.
Other things I liked;
How comfortable it fits in my hand,
I can use it on any surface and it works,
it doesn't interfere with bluetooth headphones,
The scroll wheel is as smooth as butter and super precise with the touch of a button,
The Logitech options software is super easy to use and it allows you to customize the extra buttons,
You can use it on multiple computers and it works great!
If you work from home on multiple computers, you need this mouse.

Great Mesh Wireless Router... Mediocre Smart Hub
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
I switched from my current mesh wireless system to the new samsung connect home (SCH) wireless system. My old system was great and worked flawlessly in my 3000 sf. house, so I was hoping to see some advancements in the SCH system since it also has the samsung smart hub integrated into the routers.
I started by unplugging my old system and downloading the samsung connect app. I plugged in the SCH system and immediately noticed that there was one improvement. The Power plug only took up one slot on my power strip, the old one took up 3 slots. Next, I used the app to configure the SCH system, initially it wouldn't connect no matter how many times I tried. However, After some basic troubleshooting I was able to figure out that I needed to turn off the WIFI on my phone for it to work. so if you are unable to connect, save yourself some time and turn off your phones WIFI.
Next, I gave it the same network name and password as my old system so I wouldn't have to change the network on all my devices. Everything connected without any problems. Then I tested each devices WIFI connection and again no problems. I also checked the signal strength around my house and it was either good or excellent.
Finally, I started using the smart things app to connect all my smart devices to the smart things hub. This is where I ran into problems. The smart things hub doesn't work with all my devices. My Hue lights and Bose speakers were supported, but, my Nest thermostat, Nest cams, 2017 samsung smart tv and samsung robot vacuum were not supported.
With all that being said, so far it has been working great as a mesh wireless system but as a whole home hub it falls short.

Best Robot vacuum I used so far
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: buckbabes
I've used a few robot vacuums over the years and for the most part I haven't been impressed. This Samsung Powerbot R7070 has been the best one so far, However, it still suffers from some of the same me quirks of other vacuums.
Likes:
It's quieter than any other robot vacuums.
It is controllable and programmable via the Samsung smart home app.
It comes with a remote control that allows you to steer it into areas that need more cleaning.
The dust canister sits on top of the vacuum and is super easy to clean.
Dislikes:
It still gets caught up in power cables and light weight furniture.
It doesn't always make it back to the dock.
Overall, I like it but it still needs to work out some quirks.

Winegard Extreme 2.0 High-Performance Wireless-AC Access Point and Outdoor Wi-Fi Range Extender. The Extreme 2.0 Extender offers 1,000 ft. of boosted range - Winegard's best, and most secure, outdoor Wi-Fi solution.
 

I live in an RV and I do not have access to wifi routers at most RV parks I stay at. Will this extender connect to a wifi router/site if I cannot physically reset the router? Thank you

Yes. The Winegard access point connects to the main router the same way a laptop or phone would connect and does not require the main router to be reset.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.

It can. However the camera moves a lot and you will probably run into issues with window glare.

The indoor Nest Cam knows the difference between a person, pet, and vehicle, and alerts you about the things that matter to you, instead of the things that don't. 24/7 live view shows you what’s happening from anywhere.* With 3 hours of free event video history, you can go back and see what you missed. And it comes in different colors to fit your style. The indoor Nest Camera requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
 

How long is the power cord

Does "Wired" mean not battery operated (i.e. wired into wall for power) or no Wi-Fi (i.e. wired directly into router)?

There is no battery, it does use WIFI and the only wire is for power.

Are they loud

This is tough question because it's subjective. I will say it they are loud. But not loud enough for me to lose hearing.
