I think i set my hopes too high....

First let me state that the product build quality of excellent, fit and finish are impressive and exactly what you would expect for the money, no cheapo plastic parts.
Additionally the functionality is first rate, buttons feel good, software is usable if a little clunky in spots, multiple language support and different "voices" are well implemented.
battery life is impressive. I've streamed from multiple devices for multiple hours and I haven't gotten to 50% charge.
So if all this is so good why only a 3? I think this is where i set my sights too high.
The Mini is small, super portable but as a result it simply can't put out room shaking audio, it just doesn't have the mass to move that much air. I think my needs might have been better served by a physically larger device. While this isn't technically the Mini's fault, it is the Mini's problem as i bought the advertising and hoped it would let me work in my garage and hear everything i wanted.
There are some ways to optimize the sound...turning off the LiveAudio feature (spatial separation) brings the sound back to the speaker and gives it a bit of a volume boost, also putting the Mini in front of something helps, surprisingly you get back a bunch of reflected sound and the lower end is also helped.

So am i pleased with the purchase, yes, I'll be keeping it. does it really do what i wanted it for, no, not really so i still need a solution for that.

I may have been expecting too much too soon.  Trying now to adjust to feel.  It seems that larger would be uncomfortable, so hopefully
they will feel better after I have worn them for a time.

This was a a good story and I am anxious to get the rest of the story.  Many times I thought I knew what was going to happen.....I was wrong.

I haven't started the work yet but already I feel a huge relief knowing it wasn't me. I feel I truly tried my best to make him happy and it didn't work. I thought something was wrong with me. Now I know he is PA  and I have hope if I change my behavior and attitude, he might change his. This book and hard work might save us.

OK Amazon, I'm willing to say I love my bed, but we just met see, and maybe in six months time I will need a new bed, then I'm going to think you made me look like a fool.  Did I really say I loved it?  Sheesh take me for a ride.

I think my expectations were too high.  The description really triggered my imagination, and I was expecting a thrilling, on-the-edge-of-your-seat ride, and the first half was exactly that.  However, just when the book should have started gaining depth, it just...didn't.  It fell short.  The ending was kind of a let-down.  I would still read it - it is a great idea for a story - but I probably wouldn't pay full price for it.

it's a great idea in theory ... I just wish it would not flash red until I actually reach the point that I am supposed to stop

It's a pickle it yodeled I can't complain that it didn't do as promised. I think I'm just disappointed because I got myself too excited waiting for it. I gave it away to my bartender he needs a new friend after his dog died.

...and after trying out so many things, I ordered this "lounger"! Well, the "lounging" is overrated, because the mat is too narrow for an adult to really be able to "lounge" on it. I played around with it and fixed it for myself in the best way possible to try and see it it can give me some comfort in the tub. The pillow part I filled with air all the way, the second part only 1/3 third and the third part has no air at all. Then I took clear package tape and folded the pillow part under the second portion of the lounger and...low and behold...the idea does work...BUT...the "lounger" is just too narrow to really offer true comfort, since it tends to slip right from under the back and the head. I don't understand how they could even come up with the idea that it would work on the first place because if it is fully blown up, we float in the tub like we would in the pool and for the "lounging" part in the tub, well...that is just an illusion, unless of course someone wants to "dream" about lounging and pretend to some comforting moments in the bath tub...! Well...perhaps it might work for some...depending on the use I guess...but for adults, no...this is just not offering what is promised.

Really thought that I could see several God winks in my life and the life of some friends.  Too early to get comments back from the loan outs yet

I must say I entered this book with very high hopes.  I care about too much and needed some help learning to care about that right things and let the wrong things go. While I like some of the ideas and concepts, I felt like I, personally, was left with a long road to go to get there. That was probably more of a fault of mine than it was the book (probably unrealistic expectations on my part).

The book was pretty somber. I had hoped, along the way to letting go of crap, that I'd feel a tone change or even an emotional change. Neither occurred.

It didn't help that I was looking for this book to magically start healing years of issues, depression, anxiety, and instantly feel better.

Regarding Mr. Moore's review, I feared as much. I know I'll have to get the thing eventually, but the eventuality could now be quite some time in coming. At least Mr. Moore will have muffled somewhat my inevitable disappointment. If the singing lacks glamour as badly as does the photo illustration, I'm in for a rough four hours. Still, I'll bet I've heard worse.  hfs

A little rough and tumble, I hope this is not the future
