Very small assistant

Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this when I bought my nest smoke detector. Was very easy to set up. Take it out of the box, plug it into an outlet, download the google home app, and follow the directions. Was up and running in about 5 minutes. Sound is decent for the mini. Not as good as the home. Use it to control my smart switches and asks the assistant things.

Nest Protect reliably detects and alerts you to the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide in your home. The alarm speaks to you in a calm, clear, human voice, telling you the location of the danger. It also provides smartphone alerts and battery status updates to help protect your home. This hardwired version is suitable for homes with existing hardwired smoke or CO detectors.

Nice replacement

Bought these to replace my old detectors that were over 10 years old. These were very easy to install. After taking out the old detectors, these installed in the same place as the old ones. I bought the wired version so they connected using wire nuts that were included. After that, you use the Nest app to connect it to your wireless network. I had no problems during installation and all my detectors connected together. I like the pathway light which mimics a night light when it gets dark.

Good when you get it working

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like other people, I had problems getting it connected to my wifi. Searching the internet and reading hours of forums, I had to make some changes. First, apparently you can only have your wireless channel to either 1, 6, or 11. Mine was on 9. Next I had to go next to the router to set it up. Even tho I get full bars when I'm about 10 feet away with a wall between, I had to go to the plug next to the router to get it connected. once the first once was connected, I had problems getting the second one connected. I had to reboot the router and manually enter the wifi information since the second wouldn't see the wifi. This was also mentioned in forums I read. Once I had both connected to the wemo app, I couldn't get it connected to my google home app. The work around was IFTTT. Downloaded the app, created a user name, connected IFTTT to wemo app and google account, then created rules in IFTTT to control the wemo's. Had them working almost a week and so far they're good.

Bought this to stream to my TV. Works great! Was very fast and easy to set up since I already had a the Google Home app. Everything connected with no issues and was up and running in a few minutes. Haven't had any problems at all. Got this on black friday so the price and what you get is good. I'm able to stream you tube and movies from my iPhone and iPad. I have it connected via USB and my 5ghz wireless. Boot-up is fast when i turn on my TV and no problems with wireless connection.

Nice fridge for the price
on September 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Was looking for a mini fridge to fit between two cabinets. This fits perfectly in a 24" space with a little space on the sides for some ventilation (about an inch on each side). The look of stainless steel is nice. The interior is nice and large for a compact fridge. Quiet when running. The fridge was shipped to my house and had a dent on one of the bottom corners in the back. Wasn't a big deal to me as it was hidden and the only thing it affected was the leveling which I was able to easily adjust by putting cardboard underneath the dented area. Can't rate on reliability as I've only had it for a week.

TiVo Mini TCDA93000: Enjoy TV shows and movies from your existing TiVo DVR on any TV in the house with TiVo Mini. Easily stream online entertainment, manage your settings and watch live or recorded programming for smooth TiVo integration.
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace a 92000. This is so much better having the RF instead of the IR. That was the main reason why I bought this. I had this mini placed behind a wall mounted TV where the plug is hidden behind the TV. Wanted to keep the clean look. The old mini with the IR was iffy when hitting commands on the remote. Sometimes it would accept it and sometimes you had to angle the remote. Now no matter where the remote is pointing it will accept the command. And on top of that (not sure if its a placebo affect) but I feel like the 93000 is faster than the 92000. Menus and command come up faster.

Featuring an ultrasmall, low-profile design, this SanDisk Ultra Fit SDCZ43-064G-A46 flash drive enables simple portability of your files. The 64GB storage capacity provides ample space to hold your movies, music, photos and more.
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this 64GB USB 3 flash drive on sale. Reason for the 2 stars is that when I transfer a file that is over 1GB, the speed slows down. I get great speeds the first 1GB (close to the advertised speed) using a USB 3.0 port but after that, for some reason, the transfer speed slows down tremendously. Tried numerous files from my laptop to the drive and they all produced the same thing. Not sure why that's happening but it works fine as a low profile USB drive.

Was tired of having a camera down to charge batteries. Bought this and the battery charger that Arlo sells. When notice is sent that one of my cameras is at 15%, I just charge this battery with the charger and switch out the batteries real quick.
