Excellent Accessory
on March 9, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
This is an excellent accessory for anyone that conducts presentations on a regular basis. While pricey, it is a handy tool to enhance your experience and give you more freedom to roam the meeting room.
The size was a perfect fit for my hand and feels comfortable (see picture for scale). I was also impressed with the design, as the USB plug slides right out of the bottom and exposes the USB-C charging port (charging cable included). It also comes with a case.
The feature I liked most was the ability to use this remote as a mouse. The top button can be held down and any motion while held directs the cursor around the screen. You can then select items in the presentation as needed. Not having to be right next to your laptop during a presentation is a great thing. And of course it has the normal forward and backward buttons. This device is compatible with Windows, MacOS, and I tested it with Google Slides on my Chromebook.
I was able to find answers to questions I had about basic operations for this device on Logitech's site, but I would have preferred having a basic instruction manual included in the packaging. (Charging instructions, LED indicators, etc)
If you present a lot, this will be a handy tool for you!

Terrific Value
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
I thought my low end vacuum did a decent enough job of cleaning my floors. That was until I used this Shark.
I have two small children so we tend to vacuum every other day. The suction power of the Shark was such that I found four times as much dirt/hair/crumbs/etc in the container after it's first use. This blew me away and made me feel awkward, knowing that my family had been sitting and playing on what we thought were clean floors for years.
This model comes with all the common attachments you might need. I found the lift-away feature handy for doing our carpeted stairs. The shark also is very easy to push and pull around carpeted floors which makes vacuuming less of a workout.
You can get cheaper vacuums, but it would be difficult to get better value as this Shark cleans better than any vacuum I have ever used.

Excellent WiFi Coverage for Larger Homes
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
After trialing this new WiFi home solution, I was impressed with it's capabilities and functionality. While pricey, if it's in your budget and you have a larger home, then you will be impressed.
My system came with three nodes which claim to be able to cover 6000 square feet. My home is only 2300 square feet but I tested this by spending some time in the yard and found that I still had a strong signal and max speeds during speed tests. If you don't need this kind of range you can purchase less nodes and save on the cost. One of the best things about this system is that it can grow with you and your home. As you find the need to expand the network range, you can add new nodes very easily. The app is very handy for this.
Set-up was very easy. The instruction manual that the package comes with basically just tells you to install the app and run it. I was skeptical, but it really was that simple. The app is well designed and walks you through every step until you are up and running. Even individuals with low tech skill will do fine.
The app has other nice features that make it easy to enable guest mode, tweak your network settings, and prioritize traffic to individual devices.
I would easily give this product 5 stars if it were more affordable as $500 is a lot to pay to enhance your Wi-Fi network. But if you need coverage for 6000 square feet, affordability might not be a factor.

Excellent wire free home security system
on January 5, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
I've used a couple different security cameras in my home over the years and this system tops them all.
First off, it's cordless, which lets you place them literally anywhere and allows you to move them at a moments notice. The feature I like most is the magnetic mounting ball (pictured below) that each camera comes with. You mount this to a wall, and not the camera itself. Once they are mounted you can attach a camera magnetically to the ball at any angle. This allows for very easy tweaking for camera angle perfection, and also to remove the cameras easily when they need charging. If you don't want to mount them on a wall, they conveniently balance well on any shelf. I keep one on top of my refrigerator.
Speaking of charging, the app shows the estimated battery life in each camera by percentage which really comes in handy. Since the cameras only active when there is motion or sound, you don't have to charge them too frequently unless you have them on all the time and are constantly moving in that area. There is a setting you can adjust to go with higher video quality or improve battery life. Cameras can be toggled on and off from the app on your smart phone or tablet.
The siren feature is also a winner. If you are at work and get a movement or sound notification and see that you have an intruder, you can press one button in the app to turn on the siren at the base station. It is LOUD and should do the trick to scare off intruders while you contact the authorities.
This system comes with free (albeit limited) cloud storage. Most products charge a fee by default so it's nice that that Netgear gives you the free option or the option to pay a small amount for more storage.
I had problems with updating the firmware of the cameras but this just turned out to be an app glitch, as they showed as updated after restarting the app.
I didn't have any trouble with Wi-Fi signal strength around my 2300 square foot home, which is something I always worry about. The connections remained stable.
Overall, this is a fantastic indoor/outdoor security camera system that solves a lot of problems that come with wired systems.

Great for small kids
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
Verified Purchase:Yes
While the quality of this controller will not match that of an official XBOX controller, it meets a need for those with smaller hands (children). It's virtually impossible for a small child to use a regularly sized controller. While I don't expect this controller to hold up to heavy use, it will meet our needs for casual gaming.

Solid and Affordable
on November 26, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
All Sony audio products I have ever owned have been solid and these wireless headphones are no exception.
Audio quality was very good, but not the best I have heard. You would have to pay more for the best audio quality. But at this price point (and these have already gone on sale for Black Friday week), you can't go wrong. Bass was very heavy, as advertised. You will definitely want to take that into account before purchasing these. If you like bass, you will like these headphones
With ear buds I am always worried about stability. How easily will they fall out? After using these a few times, it took quite a bit of jostling for them to fall out. Moderate activity will not be a problem, but I do not recommend jogging in them. There are 4 varying sizes included in the package so you will surely find a size that works best for you.
These headphones provide verbal prompts telling you when it is in pairing mode and when you are powering them on and off. I would have liked to have seen it provide battery life updates as well, like similar products do.
Overall these are a good value and I would recommend them to anyone looking for basic use bluetooth headphones. Just don't plan to use them for athletic activities.

A Want, Not a Need...but Very Useful!
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
Set up is extremely easy. You hook up the power cord, download the Google Home app (you may already have it installed, as it is the former Google Cast app), then follow a couple prompts on your phone or tablet to connect the device to your home's Wi-Fi network. I was surprised at how small the device is. You can fit it almost anywhere, as it is about the same height as a soda can, but thicker.
After you are connected, the app gives you a brief tour of what the Google Home device can do. You activate it by saying "OK Google" or "Hey Google". Colorful lights illuminate at the top of the touch sensitive surface to let you know it's listening. You then pose questions or task your Assistant with whatever you need.
Some things that I had it do:
- "Give me a weather report"
- "Start a 5 minute timer" (while I brewed tea)
- "Play some dinner music"
- "Start a 5 minute timer" (while I brewed tea)
- "Play some dinner music"
Things that my 5 year old daughter had it do:
- "Spell [insert word here]". She had a blast getting it to spell various words
- "Count to 10"
- "What school do I go to?". The Google Assistant didn't "know how to help with that", obviously. However, she was able to tell it what school she goes to and it responded, "OK, I'll remember that". She then could ask it what school she went to and it would tell her. Very impressive.

The touch interface at the top of the unit was a nice feature. You slide your finger clockwise or counter-clockwise to raise or lower volume. You can touch the center to pause or resume anything you are listening to. Verbal commands can also raise or lower volume. I was also very impressed with the quality of the microphones. At one point I whispered to my daughter the phrase to use to activate the device ("OK Google"), and it heard me and was waiting for my next instruction.
I would caution prospective buyers from using this device as a primary music player. While the audio clarity is good, it doesn't compare with higher end bluetooth speakers that can really put out some good sound these days.
I have just begun to scratch the surface of what the Google Home can do. So far I am very impressed. I think that my kids may end up using it as often as I do, as my daughter was fascinated with how it could respond to her. While this device is a luxury and not something every home needs, I think most folks will fine it very useful.

Terrific mid-range priced router
on October 27, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
After giving this dual-band router a whirl for 48 hours here are my thoughts. The quick start guide that comes in the package is right on the money with its instructions, allowing for a very simple set-up. I was up and running within 5-10 minutes of opening the box.
After connecting to the Wi-Fi network for the first time you are directed to the Linksys website to check for updates for the router and adjust any Wi-Fi settings that you want to. After completing this process you will be taken to your router’s homepage that shows you (see screenshot) all the features this router has to offer, including:
-Guest access
-Parental controls
-Managing external storage
-Media prioritization (put Netflix at the front of the line for your bandwidth usage)
-Parental controls
-Managing external storage
-Media prioritization (put Netflix at the front of the line for your bandwidth usage)
This router provided excellent coverage throughout my 2 story, 2300 square foot home. I had it located in a central location on the first floor. With 2 adults and 2 children in our home (and guests), there can be up to 20 wireless devices connected at a time between tablets, phones, gaming systems, laptops, etc. The MU-MIMO tech that this router has promises that it can handle numerous devices without impacting W-Fi performance. After 2 days of testing this claim I was not able to disprove it and never experienced any bandwidth/buffering issues.
As far as routers go, this one is mid-range in price but high end in performance. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a router that can provide great wireless performance to numerous devices and also easy access to settings.

Google's Next Gen Phone is a Winner
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
After spending a day with the Pixel, I'm sold. There was a lot of hype around Google's release of this new model and they have come through. While pricey (but what new phone isn't?), the features packed into this device are awesome.
What I loved:
-The camera (front and rear) are said to be the best available. I agree. Not only is the picture quality great, but the photo app features are plentiful and useful.
- Fast charging via USB-C.
- Nougat OS seems impressive. This is my first stock Android phone and the lack of bloatware was appreciated.
- The integrated google assistant worked amazingly well. The first several voice commands I attempted worked flawlessly, from checking the weather to providing directions to playing music from one of my favorite bands.
- The fingerprint scanner on the back can be used to scroll notifications. This means I can get updates with one hand if I'm busy with the other.

What I didn't like:
- I couldn't find a way to wake the phone up other than pressing the power button. You can wake it up with the fingerprint scanner, but only if you have a lock on the phone as well and I don't like to lock my phones.

That's my only negative. Google set out to impress with it's first phone where it controls the hardware and the software and they succeeded.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 75”, 70”, 65”, 60”, 55”, 50” and 43” screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in™. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
Is this TV good for gaming?
Yes, I would say so! I have been using it with my Xbox One X for about a week now and it has been great for the games I play. What I've liked most is I can now read better for some games that have tiny text that was tough to see on smaller TVs.

Battery depletion depends on many things including your weight, what performance-mode you are in (sport uses the most juice), the terrain you are riding on, etc. But a max of 28 miles as advertised is possible, depending on those variables.
