Very Nice, just not perfect for price

Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I have only tried a few robot vacs, and this is definitely one of the better ones. But it still does not overcome the flaw most have in avoiding getting stuck.
This robot vac is very cool. It looks very sophisticated and futuristic just like a robot vac should. It reminds me of Knight Rider! It has the quality feel you should expect from Samsung, and setup was very easy. I find the Samsung app was easy to use and found my network and was able to logon quickly and easily. I flipped the on switch, docked the robot and let it charge. Then later that day I gave it a test run. I made sure to clear my first floor of all obstacles that could potentially cause it to get stuck. But it still did. My kitchen chairs have a square base that I thought the vac would recognize and avoid but still tried to leapfrog it and ended up getting stuck. This is very frustrating since it is hard to set it and leave without worrying.
The good news is that this is one powerful vac. The most powerful I have seen. It filled the dirt trap with way more dirt than I thought it would have accumulated. I walked around my laminate floors with no shoes or socks and my feet were clean. Much cleaner than my previous robot vac usually leaves it. With this I was very pleased.
Overall, the vacuum performs very well and is very easy to use. I love the app and all of its features, but I still don't know how to overcome the unit getting stuck. It does perform very well and if you have the right space for it then I would highly recommend it!

Does exactly what it's supposed to do.
on June 4, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I recently purchased a 4k TV and have doing nothing but stream 4k content via youtube and Vuduu. But I wanted to see how a hard 4k disc would look on the TV, so I decided to get a 4k Blu-Ray player. I was not disappointed.
I immediately purchased Spiderman Homecoming and tested it out. Wow! It looked fantastic. I adjusted my TV settings for a movie based on a popular calibration website and everything looked fantastic. The Blu-Ray looked way better than anything that I have ever streamed on the TV. And this is not the only feature of it.
I then took the time to setup my Vuduu account on the device after connecting to internet via a direct hard line to my router. I was streaming my movie collection in no time with a blazing fast connection that had no issues. I would say the streaming on this device is very good, if not flawless.
Overall I really love this 4k Blu-Ray player as it does everything it is supposed to, and it does it well!

I love Norelco shavers!
on April 26, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I just want to preface by saying that I have owned Norelco Shavers my entire life. I used to use my dad's when I first started shaving and loved them so much that I only bought them moving forward. I have tried other brand shavers and cannot get the close shave that a Norelco does.
So, that being said I got the 3000 Series shaver with high expectations. The initial quality is there right out of the box, just as I expected. I charged it that day and was ready to use it that night. It works just as I expected with the same great Norelco quality I have come to not only expect, but demand. This shaver did not let me down. It gave me a close shave with a nice painless cut. It gets very close and is the next best thing to a razor and cream shave.
The next thing I did was use the stubble attachment a few days later. I must say that I did like the way it left the stubble. My hair is very straight and course so getting that stubble look is not difficult so this attachment makes a perfect pairing. It actually made me change my look from a traditional goatee to an all around stubble. I love it!
I then tried the trimmer on my sideburns and it also worked very well. I really love the trimmers on the Norelco shavers and they work flawlessly. I don't know what it is but the trimmers are always very smooth and cut just right.
Overall I would say that this shaver will meet or exceed your expectations for a close shave and you will love it just as much as I do!

Good, not great
on April 23, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I think I expected a little more from a Sony flagship phone.
First off, I think this "compact" version of the phone is a little too small. It may be better suited for a child or someone with small hands who really cannot handle a modern larger phone. It also has a weird texture to the back of the phone, like a frosted metal kind of. It's not a deal breaker, but it doesn't feel sleek like most other phones. I suppose it is good for resisting fingerprints.
I booted up the phone and set it up with no issues. I don't think it has any more setup menus than a Galaxy or iPhone. Then finally I was up and running. The phone is very fast and operates smoothly. The Sony software with Android work very well together. I was able to run all of my apps perfectly with no issues. I then used the 3D avatar creator which is very cool. It works way better than the avatar creator on the Galaxy S9.
The physical features of the phone fall a little short. First of all Sony took a page out of Apples playbook and scrapped the headphone jack. It gives you a USB C to headphone port adapter. So if you lose it, you cannot use headphones with the phone. Plus, Sony takes pride in their headphones so excluding a headphone jack seems very unusual. The other thing it lacks is wireless charging. Even Apple and Samsung now include this feature on all of their flagship phones. I was disappointed in this missed feature.
Overall I was pleased with the XZ2 as it performed extremely well but lacks the features to make someone truly pick it over Samsung or Apple.

Easily the best antenna I have in my house
on April 10, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I typically use smaller cheap antennas and just hope for the best. I play around with them and settle for whatever channels they happen to pickup. So I decided to check out the Mohu antenna, which is not super high end but not a cheap one either.
Once I got it I noticed that it was USB powered/amplified. This is a huge plus! I do not need to take up another receptacle outlet to power yet another device in my home theater setup. I just used an existing USB port on my TV (it has two). This may be an issue for anyone who is using their USB port for a firestick or other add-on so it also includes a USB power adapter to plug in to a standard receptacle.
So I had it setup in a matter of less than 5 minutes and ran the channel scan. I did not set it up in a particularly high spot at first. After it ran the scan it found more channels than any other antenna in my house. I then moved it to a better coverage area and re-ran the scan. It found more channels and I was very pleased. I have 2 TVs with cable but the rest of my TVs in my house use regular antennas. I use this in my basement which is a rec room and will be perfect for watching my local sports. I no longer have to fight with my old antenna to catch my local channels to find the game.
I am very excited to use this antenna in my basement and it should work well for anyone else's application. I love it.

Fantastic Router With Sense of Security
on April 10, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
My first thoughts on this router was how modern it looked. I have a very modern theme in my house and I think this adds to it perfectly. I have it on my console next to my modem. It perfectly accents my IKEA sphere light.
The next thing that made me get this was the Norton security that was included with the router. It protects all of the devices that are connected to it. This is a very nice feature that I have not seen before on any other router I have had.
The initial setup out of the box was very simple. I would say just as easy as all of the other routers I have setup in the past. You download the app and it takes you through installation from there. It was up and running in a matter of minutes.
It runs very smooth just like any other router I have and it does not disappoint. It has Ethernet ports and all cables are hidden behind it so they don't clutter.
It also includes a free year on Norton anti virus for all of your devices. This is very nice to have, but still wondering if I will subscribe once I've had it for a year and it expires. It is about 10 a month, not sure if I will commit. That may be the only down side to this router is the re-occurring fees you may have if you want to keep the security. If you choose not to, then it is just a very nice, sleek, and modern router.

Easy to use, replaced Comcast Home
on March 28, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I was a regular Comcast home security subscriber with the triple play. I liked the system but only had what was included (4 sensors, 1 motion detector, 1 camera, and 1 keypad). The only thing is that my bill progressively goes up. So I decided to switch to this.
The first thing I liked is what you get: 6 sensors, 2 motion detectors, keypad and key chain "clicker". It did not include cameras but I already have the Arlo multi camera system.
Out of the box I hooked up the hub, stuck all of the sensors everywhere and connected everything up via the app. Very user friendly and had no issues with installation. I was pleasantly surprised.
I then signed up for the cheaper monitoring option, I end up still saving money VS Comcast.
I then used the monitoring via the app and was very impressed with how easy it is to use. I feel like I am a double winner because it is very easy to use and I save money VS my old alarm system.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an alternative to a paid subscription from one of the big companies.

Perfect speaker for a small party
on March 13, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
I own many Bluetooth speakers and this is one of my favorites. The quality of the device is top shelf. I enjoyed unpacking it and feeling the quality mesh and rubber of the speaker and it has a nice heaviness to it.
Pairing is very easy, as are most Bluetooth speakers. I didn't even have to read the instructions, I just held down the power button until I saw a light flashing then paired it in my phone's Bluetooth settings. It features NFC paring but don't see it being easier than how I just mentioned.
I immediately started playing some music and saw the nice lights on the device. I can imagine having a small party/get together and having this speaker nice and lit up. It adds a nice little bit of flare to your sounds. It goes through some patterns and move to the beat if you want it to.
The sound quality was very good. The bass was nice, I wouldn't go as far as calling it extreme, but still good considering the size of the speaker. The highs were very crisp and clear, which is what I like for a casual Bluetooth speaker. It got it pretty loud, not all the way up yet, and it never got distorted.
Overall I would highly recommend this speaker and really enjoyed using it. I cannot wait until I have a small get together so I can show it off.

Gave me great coverage
on March 13, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
My house is not huge by any means but my wi-fi coverage does lack in my basement. Maybe its the lead paint, maybe its the lead walls, but I do think there are some trace amounts of lead in my house. That's besides the point. So when I had the opportunity to extend my wi-fi coverage to my basement I jumped on it.
In my basement is TV, Firestick, Wii, Xbox and Amazon Echo Dot all connected to wi-fi.
Setup was very easy, I was able to do it online. I was up and running in a matter of minutes. I then ran a speed test in my basement and clocked the same speeds I get upstairs near the router. Success!!
I was very happy to be getting some nice speeds in the area of my house that seemed to be a little off in terms of wireless performance.
I highly recommend this product as it is one of the highest quality wireless extenders on the market, you get what you pay for!

Best headphones I own
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: Bootleg89
from Chicago/NW Suburbs, IL
Everything about these headphones are premium. The package, materials, feel, and sound.
When I received these I immediately plugged them in (wired) and started listening to my music. Wow! It was like listening to it all for the first time. Crystal clear audio, perfectly balanced. Not too much bass either.
Then I charged them and tried them with Bluetooth. Even better. I can honestly sit back and listen to my music for hours. Battery is great too. The controls on board are also very easy to use.
Overall I love these headphones and they have become my instant favorites!

I'm a runner in the market for new buds. Will these stay in during a rigorous workout?

I would not risk running with these buds. They are a little bulky and have a rubber "band" that is supposed to help seal in the ear, but can also push the bud out a little. I would recommend the Plantronics Backbeat Fit ear buds.

Simplify security at your home or business with this Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock. The touchscreen design makes interacting easy, and the option for automatic unlocking when you approach with your phone adds convenience. This Yale Assure satin nickel touchscreen smart lock employs Wi-Fi connectivity for adjusting settings remotely.
 

Do I have to have a “smart” home to use this lock? Or can I simply install it and download an app to control Access?

Your question sort of contradicts itself as using an app to control something is essentially a "smart" home function. You can use the lock without connecting to the internet and use as a simple push code lock. But for that then spend less money and buy one without the internet accessibility. Once this lock is setup you can connect it to your home network and control it using the August app if you wish. You can also integrate it into an even "smarter" home by adding the Connect bridge and using it with Google Home, Alexa, etc. Hope this answers your question.
