Great for kids
A good microscope for children. picture is clear. The magnification is limited, but sufficient for a children's microscope. It would have been nice if it included some slide trays

I'm using this with HTC Vive lighthouses, as it was recommended by many (including the official guide, I think).It's easy to use and works pretty well, but it's also worth noting that there is some wobble which you cannot get rid of, at least without mods.Where the clamp part attaches to the articulated part, there's about 1mm of wobble on all four corners, and you cannot get rid of it by tightening the (somewhat hidden) screw. Superglue may work, once you know which orientation you want, but I haven't tried that.I don't know if this small amount of wobble is actually a problem. For a ll I know it may actually help absorb the vibrations of the Vive lighthouses, rather than add to them. My tracking seems fine in general, although I have nothing to really compare it to. Every so often there is a bit of a wobble, but I don't know that it's caused by this; in fact, it probably isn't, or the effect would be visible all the time, I would think. Still, if you want complete rigidity, this will not get you it. That 1mm wobble translates into a fair distance which you can move the lighthouses around once they are attached, but only if you push on the things. I guess gravity probably pulls them down more than the vibrations move them around.Having looked at alternatives, many of them appear to be the same design (maybe even the same thing with different branding), but there are one or two different designs. Whether they are actually better, or any of this matters, I do not know. These work well enough that I am sticking with them.

A Great Bargain!
I don't give many 5 star review's, but overall this purchase deserves one.First, let me say that the sellers customer service was exceptional!!!I will keep them on my list for any future purchases for sure.Just for informational purposes and not a product issue per say; I did have a problem after first hooking everything up using the RCA cable provided. There was a noticeable HUM sound that seemed like feedback or bad shielding. Very annoying for sure. I don't believe it was from the Sound Bar system, however, I just think there was an issue from my old TV audio out. Unfortunately, I didn't have my old sound system available to test, so I emailed them about using the Coaxial Digital PCM option.They responded the same day and it was worth the $7 for the cable on Amazon. Once I removed the RCA and hooked up the Digital audio everything was perfect. No hum, buzzing or any weird background sound.Now, being a bit of a sound/music/movie "nut" that used to have 7.1 surround sound before I moved...I wasn't expecting too much from this. I will say, for me it is a bit "bright" overall even with the subwoofer, but it has a nice clear sound. If your looking for an affordable option and have limited space to expand the sound of your normal TV experience, this is for you. It is a nice enhancement and though it obviously won't replace a surround sound system, it does a very nice job for the money.I'd buy it again! Enjoy.

Great for longer/leaner baby. Runs a bit small. An
I really like these onesies from Leveret. They are on the longer/leaner side (similar to Carter's brand but perhaps slightly less lean), which is great for my son. I was very pleased with the thickness and softness of the fabric and the vibrant colors. They also have the perfect amount of stretch. One odd thing... I go back and forth on whether the darkest one is navy or black. I actually bought these specifically because I wanted a black one and this was the greatest value way to get it. Several people answered questions stating it is black... but when I got it and put it next to a few black things, it didn't quite look black -- more like a really, really dark navy. But then, like I said, other days I look at it and think, that has to be black. For what it's worth!Was this review helpful for you? If so, please click the "Yes" button below. If not, feel free to let me know why and I'll do my best to improve it. :)I bought the 18 months size and they fit well over cloth diapers on my son (when he's in disposables, he wears 12 month size in most brands - in cloth, it's 18 months in most brands).Update: After months of use, I feel like these shrunk lengthwise more than the Carter's brand ones. He's still in most of the 18 month Carter's ones comfortably but these Leveret ones are almost too small now. We got a LOT of use out of them and none tore or faded or wore out. I'd happily buy these again for a future kiddo.

Superior vocal performance from a bluetooth speake
I've heard that the best song for testing a speaker is Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car.' Personally, I prefer the Across the Universe version of 'Dear Prudence.' Each of the four singers tests a different range, and the steady, thrumming bass pulse underneath shows how well your speaker can handle multiple ranges at a time. So that's what I used to try this speaker out. And it was really good in most areas, with a few things truly worth calling out.Streaming from my phone was a snap. Zero connection problems, 20 seconds from out of box to hearing Dana Fuchs' smoky, sultry voice. That's worth a call-out on its own, really. Most name-brand speakers these days insist you download their app to connect. I'm very happy that Victrola got the memo that Bluetooth is a common technology these days and doesn't need any extra help.I like to start these tests at around 2/3 volume, since that's usually enough to hear everything without risking distortion. It did a decent job of filling my downstairs (900 square feet) with sound at that level. The background bass was a steady, clear thrum. Jim Sturgess' tenor came out surprisingly crisp and Evan Rachel Wood trilled a bit more sharply than I expected as well. Joe Anderson's baritone harmonized seamlessly, which is something that causes problems with devices on the cheap end. When they all sang together, I could pick out each distinct voice much more clearly than I can with a lot of these speakers. The bass also held up nicely the whole time, although the vocals covered it up a bit. Still, as I wandered around the house there were no dead spots or noticeable drops in volume when I stood further away.As a backup, and to test a hunch, I threw on "The Greatest Show" soundtrack. A few seconds of the title track was enough to confirm that this speaker was pushing vocals forward better than almost any speaker I've tried, but doing so slightly undercut the instruments, especially on the bass side. Turning up the volume only emphasized this effect, but it did so without making the voices crackly, which is a good trick. Turning it back down to 50% evened things out, with great bass, crisp highs and clear vocals, all with minimal loss of coverage.My second test of a speaker is to listen to my playlist while doing dishes and see how clearly the sound carries over background noise. The Victrola held up nicely against moderate noise levels, and the vocals especially held up against anything I threw at them.There aren't a lot of other bells and whistles to this speaker, but that's ok. It does what it does, it does it well, and that's what I got it for. It'll make a great shower speaker, and I feel like if I get a second one, that will push the sound from really good to party-grade great.Overall, this speaker holds up nicely against the best I've tried. The highs can come out a bit sharp at the upper end of its volume, but it showcases vocals better than anything I've tried in this price range. If that's as important to you as it is to me, then this is the right speaker for you.

Makes an outstanding cup of coffee
I have been wanting to replace my Flex Brew coffee pot for quite awhile and my daughter talked me into giving a Keurig a try. I have shied away from Keurig because of their cost however I had a gift card to use which brought the Keurig K-Express down to my price range. All I can say is this is the best money I have spent with or without a gift card. This machine makes an outstanding cup of coffee and I now realize just how bad my old pot needed to be replaced. I drink my coffee black so taste is very important and my Columbian coffee hasn't tasted this good in quite some time. I was also very happy that the refillable k-cups I already had also work in this machine. Prefilled K-cups are great, but I prefer to purchase whole beans and grind my own each morning, I just think the taste is better and boy does this pot make a great tasting cup of coffee with either prefilled cups or my own ground coffee. And, talk about fast and hot, it seemed like I no sooner made my selection than my coffee was ready and I have learned not to take a sip as soon as its done like I did with my old pot, when this is done it is very hot. I am very happy with this purchase and now understand why Keurig pots cost more, they are well worth the extra expense.

Great Product - Great Price
First, I admit we are only using this for the RF for AV equipment and have done nothing with the actual home controls (heat, lights, etc). But, that being said, I can rave about this product. We hooked it up in a closet with 1) the Comporium (our cable company) DVR, our Samsung Blu-Ray, an Apple-TV, an XBOX and a Mediasonic HomeWorx Digital Converter (we are still thinking of "cutting the cord"). Those five devices we connected to a Kinivo 5-port HDMI switcher, still within the closet. From the HDMI switcher, we run a single lonely HDMI line through the wall out to the LG Plasma TV over the gas fireplace. We also found we had to run the IR blaster cable out through the wall to the TV and attached it, via velcro, to the back of the tv down by where the IR receiver is on the TV. It all works beautifully well. The Harmony remote is set to have five different activities (watch tv, play XBox, view DVD/Bluray, watch OTA and AppleTV) and the system works well. It takes a couple of seconds for the switcher to go from one HDMI input to another, but it all works really well.The only reason I gave it four stars is that it does take considerable effort to set it all up but I'm kinda re-thinking my rating as I try to imagine if or how it could be made easier. Also, as much as I love the feel of the remote and its usefulness, I wish it had a backlight. No biggies - certainly not worth the extra $200 I would have to shell out for the Harmony Ultimate.

Great Value
I didn't expect much for under $20. Most speakers like this don't provide much oompf or are extremely basic. I came here through a link on the Vulture website that highlighted hot gifts, and after reading several reviews, decided it was worth a shot. I'm so glad I did!This is water resistant (don't submerge it, but it can get lightly splashed), so it's perfect for the bathroom. I put it on the towel bar in the shower and my tile helps amplify the sound. It has great battery life so far, so I can continuously play whatever I'm listening to, no matter where I go, for hours on end. I haven't experimented with running out the battery, but I know I've pushed it to at least 15 hours without any charge. It shuts off after being dormant for awhile, so I don't have to worry about it at all. The Bluetooth has worked pretty well across multiple devices. It can be positioned either horizontally or vertically, and it's shape makes it easy to rest on a variety of surfaces without falling. The buttons are easy to use and because they are raised, I can feel vs look at the controls to operate them.As for the sound, I think it gets quite loud if desired, although the instructions say this limits the battery time. Some of the lower range might get a bit muffled, but that's to be expected. The instructions also say you can hook up two of these to get stereo. Overall, the sound is so much better in quality and volume than my laptop or phone, so I'm very happy!

Oh! So very VERY Good! In fact, it gets a big WOW!
What did I like and dislike? Well, there is very little to dislike - I would have preferred a handle of some sort, but it does sound better on a surface rather than dangling, so I suppose that is for the good?I have included in the review a photo of a 1965 'Marshall Super Lead 1959 Plexi ' as used by legends like Hendrix to show that this serious stuff has been around for quite a while and Marshalls know what they are doing.The sound is peerless for Bluetooth speakers, nothing lacking in base or treble, full mellow notes in a sort of surround sound stereo and there is volume enough to annoy the wife too.The iconic MARSHALL logo emblazoned on the side takes me back to my youth where Marshall speakers were on every stage of every gig, admittedly mixed with Vox, Fenton, PA to name a few but to see it continuing as a brand is heart-warming.This Emberton II model has a Stack mode. other Emberton speakers can be connected for even more sound.Everything else is just icing on the cake, the big brass button for on/off, volume up and down, track changes and the pairing button, the red indicator shows where the 30+ hour battery life is at. It is water resistant but NOT waterproof and the covering it is a soft rubbery material which gives it a rather nice feel. USB charged, there is a 20-minute quick charge too. A full charge takes just three hours.What about the price? well quality doesn't come cheap and this is most definitely Quality, the feel, the sound the whole jobbie just oozes the stuff and it is worth the price tag.JC
