AMAZING -- NO MORE DEAD SPOTS - Recommend 100%
on March 2, 2018
Posted by: jensreview
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
My husband and I both work from home and our offices are on exact opposite sides of the house. My husband works downstairs on one side of the house (where our modem/router are), and I had my office setup on the 2nd floor -- completely on the other side in part of the bonus room. We've tried multiple items in the past to sling signal and nothing has worked. The Orbi was incredibly easy to setup -- seriously like 5-7 minutes from start to finish. I personally set it up (and was not sure how that was going to go given our modem/router is in the same box through TimeWarner/Spectrum) -- but it was very easy as it just all hooked to the 1 box. The internet speed through Orbi is WONDERFUL - and its awesome we no longer have to worry about the dead zone. worry about that at all

8 year old loves it
on January 26, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I dont play it, so I'm not able to provide feedback personally on the game play itself, however -- my son who is 8 often plays this with his friends who are in the 8-11 year range and they absolutely love it. Appears to be an interactive game thats well suited for that age range. And, of course - my husband loves to get in a game with his son on it as well :)

Decent Washer for the Price (sale)
on January 2, 2018
Posted by: jensreview
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a replacement for the old washing machine from a recall (due to the lids exploding when on the bedding cycle). So, its essentially the same exact washer that I previously had and that I'm used to. Same comments would apply to this model (but that i was fully aware of prior to getting this machine to replace it, nothing obviously too big of a hurdle to prevent me from getting this one, but for those looking - it may be a make it or break it item). You cannot undo the high efficiency part -- basically, I would love it if you could force the use of more water, but you are not able to with this model. And, it takes FOREVER (i believe due to the fact that is 'efficient' and uses little water )-- but seriously, some loads end up taking over 2 hours to complete. It may start off with '75 minutes' - but I've noticed occasionally the time will actually INCREASE or not move at all. Granted, if its needed to do longer to get the clothes clean then I understand, but just don't expect to knock out a lot of laundry quickly with this machine. I usually do laundry on a day or every other day basis simply due to the fact it takes SO LONG to run a cycle. So, I'll start a load in the morning when I leave for work, and then swap out and can do a load when I get home from work. Feels like I'm always doing laundry (family of 4 so I know I have a lot), but it does take a while to get loads done

Overall Good Tracker
on February 27, 2017
Posted by: jensreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been a "Jawbone UP* user for the past several years. Started with the UP, and had the UP2 and UP3. While I absolutely loved the size and the band for the jawbones -- unfortunately after about a year they would stop working for whatever reason (the last one wouldnt charge, I never wore it in the shower, but the charging section started corroding I guess just from the sweat over time during the workouts).
So - to compare vs the Jawbone --
Size & Screen - while its a little bigger, I never needed the screen, but I do enjoy having it. The screen does make it easier to monitor progress vs having to open up the app. And, even when the app doesn't sync, you can see the rounded step count on the screen. And, its nice because you can see the next "alarm" so when you are lying in bed and cant remember if its on or not, you can just tap the screen vs reaching for your phone which I keep downstairs.
Band - the band definitely takes some getting used to. It probably took me a good 10 minutes the first time to get it snapped in. I could not get the band snapped by using my thumb and finger... I finally found that i needed to essentially line up the silver piece to the side of my wrist bone and press extremely hard to get it to attach. And, you would think that by needing to press so hard it would be sure to stay on... that doesn't seem to be the case as its already fallen off a time or two even though I've checked when it was put on, and it was as far as it could go. I definitely prefer the clip on the jawbone vs the band on the fitbit. While i don't want a watch looking band, I unfortunately will likely need to switch to one to prevent the device from falling off unnoticed.
Step Count / Distance Syncing -- perhaps my biggest gripe. The jawbone was dead on accurate out of the box (all three i had). I walk and run on a treadmill and on run/walks of my usual 5-6 miles, it was never more than 1 TENTH (thats .1) miles off. Very accurate. For the Fit Bit -- totally different story. The ONLY time I have found the fitbit to be accurate for me is when I'm inbetween about 3.5-6 MPH. When I'm just walking around the house -- it tracks MORE steps than I take. But, the biggest gripe -- if i run 6 miles (usually ranging between 6-7MPH on the treadmill), it usually tracks about 5-5.25 miles. So, the faster i run, the less it counts.... kind of annoying when you know you ran 6 miles to see nearly a FULL MILE lost. I'm sure there is some way to sync it - but given its very variable in if its under, over or accurate -- I feel that if i synced it to the full run, then it would likely really be over for the rest of my daily activity. Very unfortunate as I never had any syncing issues with the jawbones
So - as a Jawbone and now a fitbit user... I think it covers the basics... it generally keeps track of the activity, i find myself liking the screen and its not TOO much bigger than the jawbone, and it has the other functionality i was looking for such as reminders to get up through the day (desk job) to at least walk around a little bit each hour.
Given I've only had it a few months -- will be interesting to see if it lasts until next year :)

Simple portable charger
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: jensreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
The size of the charger is great (it fits even in a very small purse - although not quite clutch size as its a little fat for those). But, it does the job and we have several of them stashed in our cars for when we are on the go and need them. The only gripe I have is knowing if you can turn them 'off' to save energy. Its just 1 button and a few lights, and given we want to conserve the charge, I am not quite sure if the unit is turned 'off' once it disconnects from a device, or if you need to press the button again. But, given we typically use it until the charger has completely charged our needed device, its really not an issue.

Great price and sound, not so comfortable
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: jensreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this item primarily for instances when I'm needing headphones for extended period of times. The sound is great and I got them on sale for a fantastic price.... but, the ear cups were not that comfortable. I could wear these for a short period of time maybe 15-30 minutes, but anything after that was just not comfortable for me (headphones are definitely a different fit for everyone from Skullcandy, to Sony to Bose) whether its the weight of them, or the comfort around the ears so I'd highly suggest trying them on in stores several times (I had been looking at Sony but saw these online for a daily sale late in the evening, so I was in a situation where I had to buy without trying them on to take advantage of the deep discount). My husband has a pair of skullcandy that are 'on the ear' and he absolutely loves them, and can wear them for a long time. While they are extremely comfortable for him, his were not a good fit for me either. So, as long as they are comfortable for the individual, for the price and sound I would recommend.

Great TV for the price
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: jensreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything on this TV is great - including the menu which is extremely fast in switching back between items such as your PS4/Cable and Netflix options. However, the only complaint is about after a week, the 'quick menu' disappeared. We were able to add most items back, EXCEPT for Netflix. We've been keeping it in the 'search' results so its quick to get to, but we've not been able to reset the TV settings as it has asked for a 4 digit passcode and we never set one up (and tried 1234, 1111, etc) but have not been able to get it reset (and honestly, over the holidays havent had time to call customer service). But, the TV is great otherwise, clear and crisp picture.

Great Concept - but a few additions would be great
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: jensreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been looking at this product for quite some time, and had an upcoming trip so went to the store and splurged so I could make sure to 'track my luggage'. They did not have the 4 pack in stock, so I got the 8 pack. So, I now have several and are using them regularly on two sets of keys, and one in my wallet. I've used one time to quickly find my keys when I went to visit my mother and left them in an obscure place. And, I've used it one or two times to quickly find my phone. Worked great in both of those situations (where I knew my item was nearby, just wanted the sounds to quickly locate them). I do wish the bluetooth range was larger though - I believe its 100 feet from the website.
Biggest area I believe would be a great improvement - is to not require the "app" to be running in the background for it to continue to track. Not sure if that is even a possibility or not - but I find that I often am closing the apps on my phone and forget to leave it running in the background. So, when I turn it on - the last place my item was "seen" may have been two days ago if that was the last time my app was on. If there could be a way to have it always running (even if i accidentally closed the app), then that would be great. I don't close the app because of the battery usage, its honestly just out of habit to close all apps (although if it does take a lot of battery I can see where people would not want it running all the time). But, it would be great if the user had the option to default it to running all the time if they so desired. I guess in theory... the more "tile members" there are, the less this will be an issue. however, as i live in Raleigh, there are not yet a lot of other users that would be in the distance area to piggyback off of their device (ie - if we live on 1/3 aecre, it is not as beneficial as living in big city in apartments or condos where many people are in close proximity).
But, overall - has done a good job at locating the items based on its current usage.
