Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.

No more keys to lose...
on March 19, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
This is my firts Nest product. Since I previously had a deadbolt installed, install was very easy for me.
You simply remlve your old deadbolt, and install the new wifi Nest/Yale deadbolt. This took me roughly a half hour start to finish including installing and setting up the Nest app on my note 5 phone.
You can keep the passcode to unlock the deadbolt via the touch keypad, or simply create your own, and or give each user theyre own code, while also giving guests a different code thats usable during certain time periods of the day/week! Its nice that you can lock/unlock the deadbolt via the app by holding the lock/unlock button or via a keycode on the touchpad.
The deadbolt uses 4 included double A batteries, and should those die, you simply use a 9 volt battery to give the keypad juice before changing the 4 double As.
I really like that this uses no key to lock/unlock, which to me means no extra key to lose or carry on a keychain.
The kit includes a small nest hub that you plug into any power outlet, which connects via 2.4 ghz wifi, and then connects to the deadbolt via wifi. Setup of both the hub and and deadbolt is a breeze, as well as setting up a new nest account via the nest app. I highly reccommend this item for any tech savy person looking to ditch a key from theyre keychain.
Ill also need to replace my door handle to match the brushed nickle finish, as mine were polished brass.

Nice bluetooth headphones

Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
These are very easy to use and pair with bluetooth devices, whether a tablet or a smartphone. The sound is good with theses wirelessly, battery life is very good.
Wish they had a option to use as wired, but not a deal breaker. Definitely reccomend these to anyone looking for a wireless over the ear headphone.

Not so sure it helps much.

from Herky, MO
Added this ea9000 to my ea9500 linksys router. Not sure this improved my wifi coverage much.
While it looks like a beast of a extender, Im still on the fence for reccomending it to anyone. It looks like itll do the job, but Id reccomend daisy chaining 2 routers of the same brand and model imstead.
I installed this in my garage, as the locater gave it the best central location for wifi coverage....

Very nice Wireless or Wired headphones...
on January 17, 2018
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
These are much better than I anticipated. I Love that these can be either wireless bluetooth, or traditional wired headphones!
Sound quality via bluetooth is exceptionally clear, as well as with using them wired. The included wired 3.5 adapter is 4 ft long.
These dont take very long to fully charge (less thwn 2 hours), via micro usb cable, and will hold a charge for nearly a full day of listening. The ear cushion is very comfortable, without any discomfort. I like the drawstring storage bag that is included.
Ive yet to use these in the rain or snow, as theyre suppose to be designed for. I imagine they would work fine, as the drivers are covered in a rubber/silicone material.

Great led light bulbs
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
These bulbs are nice, they work just as expected. I dont yet have the Hue Hub to controll them via the Hue App, or through my Google Home.
I plan to get one as a gift for the holidays, or buy one after myself. So I cant comment on theyre full functionality. But as a lightbulb these work great and provide plenty of light on my bedroom nightstands.

Keep floors and carpets clean with this SHARK® ION™ robotic vacuum. Its smart sensors navigate floors while adapting to and avoiding obstacles, and you can set up no-go areas with Bot Boundary strips. This SHARK® ION™ robotic vacuum has a long-life lithium-ion battery that keeps it operating for a full hour on a single charge.

This little shark robot vac, is easy to setup and use. Works well at cleaning my hardwood floors, when the kids make lite mess or small spills.
The 720 seems to navigate around the house well, without marking up my large white baseboards. The scheduled cleaning remote is nice, would prefer a app as the remote may easily get lost or misplaced.
I find this to be good at light jobs, as a mop is still needed for dusting the floors or larger messes.

Great router, very fast with great coverage...

from Herky, MO
Love this router, no negatives so far to mention. No loss of wifi, or internet at all with this router. Coverage in my 1400 sq ft home is great, in and out. Love the look and the setup is easy, start to finish.
Im not much on the super technical side, but this new wrt32x router has many great features built in. Only complaint is I wish it had a app for easy access. Other than that, this is a router Id reccommend to anyone who games or streams, and want great coverage in and around theyre home...
Dont hesitate to pick this up, when it become availible... Im using this, and a Linksys EA9500 as a wired ap... Both from TIN...

Great around the house vacuum
on September 19, 2017
Posted by: Todd
from Herky, MO
I recieved this in exchange for my honest review... Great vacuum for around the entire house. The swivel head make cleaning around furniture a breeze. The added attachment is nice, for spot where the vacuum head wont fit.
The detachable hose is long enough to reach without having to move the vacuum body alot. Only downside imo, is lack of a retracting cord...

Great little stereo...

My son loves this stereo. He plays his music from the usb input alot. Sound is nice and clean, easy for him to use and select different sources.
This is a great small stereo, for a younger person or someone with limited space in a room. The built in bluetooth is a nice feature, and works very well

4 out of 5Good Budget gaming PC
By Paul
Bestbuy really doesn't give much info on the exact internals so here they are. The motherboard is a gigabyte z170-hd3p, the ram is Adata brand 2133mhz 2x4gb, cpu i5 6600k, stock Intel cpu cooler, toshiba 2tb hdd, lg dvd drive, gpu is the amd r7 250, and it's all powered by a generic 400w power supply. Overall a good budget pc that will run games on low to medium settings. If want high to ultra settings I suggest upgrading the power supply to atleast 500w and the r7 250 to a nvidia gtx 970. Since the motherboard is a z board you have the ability to overclock the cpu. (Very easy within the BIOS).

By HeadZeppelin
This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.
You will be impessed by it's looks and the coverage you get from it, If you invest in one I'm sure you won' be disappointed

5 out of 5Absolutly amazing
By BoomBox
this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
