3 Stars - Could be 4 with More Tweaks

Verified Purchase:Yes
What is Wrong: Does not always reconnect to wifi if internet goes down which turns this into an overpriced doorbell. Necessitates removal of faceplate and reset which hassle aside, cannot be done unless you are physically present
What Could be Better: Ring notification (someone at the door) needs to make noise and vibrate like crazy to get the point across. Why in setup could I only connect to 2.4 and not 5ghz until later? Firmware?
What is Good: Awesome they include multiple faceplate covers in various colors. Love the video quality and ability to use as an intercom. Cloud fee is reasonable but not required. Installation was a breeze.

I wanted to like it
on February 21, 2016
Posted by: Stryprod
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to like this vacuum. I did a lot of research and felt like I was making the smart consumer purchase by going this route over the Roomba, but I was wrong. First the pros - it cleaned the floor well and with that I would have been very happy to keep it, but the cons... Well it seemed to have an issue with shiny objects and navigation, namely our toilet. It got caught and kept trying to bump into the toilet and corner for over 15 minutes before I just felt bad for the little guy and turned him off. Next day it happened again. Perhaps an issue with the laser navigation and reflection of shiny surfaces? If you have chrome furniture thing twice I guess. The other issue was our shag are rug. The Neato kept getting stuck on it. Fair enough, it is thick, so I placed the magnets along the edge. It seemed to work on a test run, yet every day thereafter I'd find Wall-e (yes we named him) stuck on the rug. I tied moving the magnets further out, but it reached a point where we had an ugly mag strip 2 inches from the carpet before he obeyed. Sorry Wall-e, but back to the store to try your more expensive friend Eve (Roomba 980). We have yet to have any of the issues with the Roomba and are happy with the change. I think the Neato will work for many, just note possible reflective surfaces and thick rugs.

Better than the Comp

Verified Purchase:Yes
I first tried the Neato Connected because the reviews seemed positive and it was significantly cheaper. The Neato did not work for us because it got confused by shiny objects (toilet bowl) and would not respect the magnetic strips we put down to prevent it from getting caught on the thick carpet. We have not had any of these issues with the Roomba. The Roomba has been methodical in its work and has yet to get caught due to an error of its own. The Roomba obey's the virtual walls. It is methodical in its cleaning, typically operating in a straight lined fashion. At the end of the cleaning it goes around and cleans up the edges. Expensive but really helps keep the wood floor clean in between full house cleanings.

These lego games look greay, hands down. They are enjoyable and fun, but can be a little bit too puzzling for younger kids around 5 to 8.

If you only want white, these will work

I left a rather subpar review on the Philips color hue bulbs. They are overpriced, not bright at all, have poor color reproduction, and utilize a poor app. These bulbs only suffer from the poor app and the inability to change white color temperature like other competitors offerings. Outside that, they are bright enough and the dimmer switch is AWESOME.
I actually returned these bulbs since I went with LIFX bulbs (better color, app. and brightness) but I miss that dimmer switch.
If you are only going for white bulbs and are okay wth soft white then I think these are a good option. If you plan to add colors bulbs to the mix or want the ability to adjust white color temperature (e.g. living room soft white, kitchen cool white) then look elsewhere.

Better options out there now

I left another review on the br30 bulbs. I ended up returning these because I had the same thoughts on them. Not very bright. Color reproduction is subpar. App is an afterthought. There are third party options which help, but that costs as well.
One thing Hue has going for it is integration with multiple smart homes gadgets, but I feel like they are living on their name - the competition has already surpassed their “new” and “brighter” performance.
I really wanted to like them but had to return them and settled on LIFX bulbs which beat the hue brightness and color reproduction by a mile. Best of luck in whatever you choose.

Is the Fitbit suppose to track steps when your just moving your arm? I was sitting not walking doing my hair and makeup and it was racking up the steps so every time I moved my arm it basically saying I was walking and I'm not ..... this is not accurate

I've had that happen here and there as well, but it is rare. I think at the end of the day you have to accept it is not going to be 100% accurate, but so long as it is pretty close and motivates you to move more, than mission accomplished :)

A friend of mine bought one from your company and says that in 2 years it can be upgraded at no cost.

Sounds to good to be true. Looked online and I dont see any info on an upgrade program.

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.
 

I need to install a video camera in a doctors office so the receptionist can monitor people entering the building. Will she be able to reduce the video picture on her PC so she can work on the computer and watch the video at the same time?

Sure, just open the video in another browser tab or window and size it to what you want.

Will this work to record license plates day and night on my one access road? Need a simple system that will be monitored only if a negative event occurs, Have electric source but ? wi-fi.

Too many unknowns to even answer your question. The detail of a fast moving car from any distance, and especially at night, would be difficult for most cams. Don't get me wrong, this is a great cam with great detail, but you'd likely need to look at a top of the line professional system.

I want to use this for a business which is 20 miles from my home. The business uses a different wifi than I have at home. What is the range and do I have to be hooked to the same network?

You only have to be on the same network for initial setup, after that you can remotely view from anywhere in the world assuming you have an internet connection. I can view my home camera from work, from my parents, a friends house, anywhere.

I'm trying to understand the subscription part of this. If you don't get a subscription, what do you get? Just real-time alerts, video feed and two-way communication to your phone but no recording?

Yes, and you also get 3 hours of cloud recording.

Only @ Best BuyEasily connect most analog stereo audio components using this Insignia™ NS-HZ502 cable that delivers analog stereo audio signals through RCA jacks and features a 20' length to ensure flexible placement options.
 

connecting speakers

Is there an adapter for connecting r/w cables to stereo that takes only wire clips for speakers?
Not sure what you mean by "wire clips" but you can pretty much do anything you want with wire. You just strip the ends and add whatever adapter you need. Try searching online for videos on stripping speaker wire and adding banana plugs. Might not be the type of plug/adapter you need, but it'll give you an idea of how to do it. Good luck.
