“My parents are always complaining about their cable subscription and end up consuming most of their content through streaming services. They also have the worst wifi… This fire stick effectively combines all the services they normally use into one place. The voice controls make it so that they can easily find what they want to watch even if they are not as tech savvy as they could be. The streaming quality was also very good especially considering how slow their wifi is “said one user.

“I had been using the same old bedside alarm clock with stereo cassette tapes from, I think, around 1997. It still worked, but as time went on I didn’t need the tape recorder or the radio anymore, and it wasn’t exactly small music I listen to in bed it streams and I can access many other things without getting up, I decided to get it as a replacement.The alarm clock works great, the sound is better than my old clock/radio/cassette and takes up less space. “Bed no longer asks if the room is an exhibition area from the past. Ok, no one has, but it could have happened! said one happy customer.

Blink

Blink manufactures a variety of outdoor cameras and video doorbells at affordable prices. They don’t have as many features as the Ring cameras but, that said, the quality is about the same.

$104 on Amazon

Thousands of customers have given the Blink Outdoor Camera a perfect rating: “This product is hands down perfect,” said one reviewer. “I had to replace batteries for a year and only in one out of four because that camera was in a very busy area (kids in and out). I live in a state with extremely cold temperatures and hot summers — zero issues. This product does exactly what you would expect from a security system… Highly recommended.”

If you’re looking for a small secondary TV to put in the garage or bedroom, this is an excellent choice.

$100 on Amazon

This 42-inch Fire TV is a great option as a second (or third) TV. It’s not necessarily the best choice for a primary display, simply because it’s only 1080p, but if you want to keep something in the background, you can’t go wrong with the built-in Fire TV features and low price. Want a different size? There are many more for sale.

“Like many, we now have multiple televisions throughout our home. This unit is located in the guest bedroom/guest room. The room measures only about 10′ x 12′, and this television is nearly the perfect size for the room “. it is very convenient that all programs are pre-loaded and by simply logging into my Prime account all our personal functions are loaded directly onto the unit. The picture quality is good, the unit is stylish and gives a good picture.” said one shopper.

“So… about a year ago or so I took the plunge and bought myself some smart glasses. I’ll say right away, I’ve never seen anyone else wear them, and coworkers at work never know if they’re on the phone or talking alone…again. But I will say I will never go back to earphones or wired headphones,” said one user. “I can multitask like you wouldn’t believe with them. I mow the yard, do my workouts, phone calls, texts, emails, Spotify, podcasts, and everything in between.”

FireTV OS is my favorite over all the rest (Roku, AppleTV). Best buy I have been doing for a long time.”
