Purina Tidy Cats Litter Box System, Breeze System Starter Kit Litter Box, Litter Pellets & Pads

A Win -Win Litter Box!

The Tidy Cat Breeze XL Litter Box is big, and I do mean it’s huge! I like that the design of the box with the high sides keeps the litter which means no litter tracking. The litter box works with pellets, so there’s no dusty mess. While the pellets are costly, they are well worth it. The breeze has a pull-out draw that holds the pad (it looks just a doggy wee-wee pad). No more clumps of urine with the Breeze system. The system comes with two bags of pellets, a scooper and a bag of pads. The scooper attaches to the side of the box. Finally, a litter box that is a breeze to clean. With the Breeze system my house no longer smells like a litter box. The solids stay in the grated area of the box, making it easy to scoop out the kitty waste. With the pellet system the liquid flows down into the drawer and onto the pad which does a fantastic job of controlling odors. I change the pad every other day, while the pellets can last for a month. It does take your cat a little while to get use to their new litter box. I left the old litter box out for about a week until Marley transitioned to his new Breeze Litter System. The Breeze system produces no odor in the house, which is a win-win. We all know how much we dreaded cleaning a litter box, with the Breeze system those days are over. A litterbox that is virtually mess-free. We are impressed with her well the Breeze Litter System works. #PurinaBreezeInsiders













Sony Sound Bar ST5000 Amazing

Crank Up The Volume!!!  
Sony Soundbar 
Sony ST5000 7.1.2ch 800W Dolby Atmos Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer (HT-ST5000)

As soon as you unpack the box you know the Sony Sound Bar just screams quality.
The sleek design will make a great addition to your home theater. The soundbar is
quite heavy, about twenty pounds for the bar alone. The subwoofer adds another 30
pounds to the system. You have 3 HDMI Inputs with a HDMI(Arc) option on the back.
The sound bar comes with a magnetic grill, which can be on or off, either way the sound
bar looks fantastic. The set up was quick and easy. It practically set itself up. A minute
or two to set up Wi-Fi, a few more minutes to do the obligatory software update and you
are on your way. Full disclosure, I am not a sound connoisseur by any means. My
review is not scientific; it is not being dissected by an engineer. I am an average guy
who enjoys the movie theater experience. I am not sitting in a home theater, just a
regular “family/living room”.
My setup is simple, a Sony 55” Brava and a TiVo Roamio for this review.
The soundbar has all the features I want and a whole bunch of features that I do not
know that I really want. To begin the sound is crisp and clear, you can feel the
sound. You will notice how the soundbar by far exceeds your built-in speakers from the
TV. The immersive sound makes this well worth the soundbar upgrade. A virtual
surround soundbar that combines digital signal processing and S-Force Pro Front
Surround to deliver amazing sound. The Dolby Atoms delivers a 360-degree surround
sound. The dedicated music service button allows me to pick up exactly where I left off,
so, I never miss a beat. The NFC one touch connection allows me to stream instantly
from my smartphone. Connects to the internet with the built in Wi-fi. The soundbar has
9- coaxial speakers built into the soundbar.
The different built in sound settings give a good mixture for movies, music, sports,
gaming and standard. Playing with them gives a nice variety of adjustments. Then hit
the 3D Sound setting and put your seatbelt on.
The manual is quite thick and will join a lot of other stereo manuals in a drawer
somewhere. The remote has plenty of buttons that I will probably never intentionally
touch. I want this set up perfectly the first time and hopefully never touch the remote again.
I tuned in to some music from my cable company package, the sound was, to my ears,
quite good at high and low volume. Switching to a broadcast HD movie and the
subwoofer came alive!! Thor never sounded so good. I was sitting @ 10 feet away,
ears slightly above the soundbar and I felt sound all around me, literally bouncing off
me! WOW!

Bluetooth (LDAC), sounds a lot better than any Bluetooth speaker I have heard before,
big fancy names included.
I Have seen some reports about crackling from the subwoofer, nothing problems here.
No drop offs either. Most problems I assume are from people who do not look at the
manual AT ALL.
I have not investigated rear speakers, but so far, I did see no reason for them (yet
anyway).
Bottom line, love it, great sound, excellent stereo (after all this is what it actually is).
Will probably learn more about it over time, but for now I want to finish watching Thor save the world.  #SonyAudioInsiders
