Annoying Software Setup, but Operates Well
on December 18, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've only had this a couple of weeks, but so far is performing well. I'm a light user (might print a few pages every couple of weeks), so Best Buy associate thought this model would be sufficient for my needs. The software setup on the first computer was far more complicated and time consuming than necessary.
Once initial setup was complete, however, adding the printer wirelessly on the 2nd and 3rd computers was quick and easy (initial PC connection was also wireless). The hardware portion of the setup was very easy and printer operation, once annoying setup was complete, was also simple. Display is clear and options straightforward. I won't be using the fax features, so can't speak to that, but scanning and printing are fairly quick and print quality is a bit better than expected for this price point.
I'm hoping Canon proves more durable as I bought this to replace an HP that broke down just a couple of weeks after the 2-year warranty expired. I'm also still using the OEM printer ink, so not sure how often I'll have to replace or what the maintenance costs will prove to be.

Very Simple Plug & Play
on December 18, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this several weeks ago, but just started using it a few days ago. I'm using it to back up some critical files. Right out of the box, only needed to plug in, and after a brief download of driver which starts automatically, I was able to begin copying files.
Process was very speedy and simple with copy/paste or drag and drop functionality. I love the compact, sleek design. After copying the files, I put it back in the original packaging for extra protection, but it sits very nicely on desk or PC tower without getting in the way if you want to use for continuous backup.
I returned a Seagate drive to another store before using it (I read the reviews after purchase instead of before). Reviews on this drive were almost universally positive and Best Buy associate vouched for its quality and durability, so as long as the drive continues to peform for at least a few years, I'll be satisfied. I do have two other WD drives, both a larger tower and an old passport that I've had for years and they continue to work very well as extra and duplicate storage and PC backups.

Clear sound, Fair price on sale
on December 18, 2017

from Arizona, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had these for several weeks now and use them heavily, though almost exclusively for podcasts, so can't provide review of music performance. However, sound is clear and fit is good for the various podcasts I listen to.
It took me several days to get used to the side with the battery. At first, it kept sliding out of my ear on only that side due to the battery weight and lack of immediate fit, but fit improved after a few days. Now they stay in during brisk walks and slow running. I can't confirm or contradict other reviews that have had problems with sweat impacting performance as I haven't exercised intensely with them.
Battery life is as advertised - right at 5 hours before needing charge.

I bought these to replace another pair of wireless buds I had received for free, so hoping these are more durable. They are a good quality product for the sale price; I don't think I would have paid the full retail price.

OK For Entry Level Tablet
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: BigSky
Verified Purchase:Yes
My 7-year old daughter saved up to by this. Her brother bought the 8GB about a year earlier, so new she needed more space. The OS is a bit clunky, and less intuitive then on higher priced tablets, but tough to beat the price. Speed isn't great for web or certain gaming apps, but fine for books. Parental controls are helpful, but take time to figure out and require more steps than seem necessary to change. Overall, OK first tablet for kids, considering the price. For adults, fine for e-books and VERY basic apps. Otherwise, best to pay up for better quality and OS efficiency.

Power through laundry day with this front-load gas dryer from Maytag. The PowerDry cycle reaches higher temperatures to eliminate moisture and dry clothes faster. With Wrinkle Prevent, this front-load gas dryer automatically tumbles clothes intermittently for up to 90 minutes after the cycle completes so you can take your time folding wrinkle-free clothes.

Very Efficient

We've had this for six weeks, and very happy with performance so far. Dries large loads very quickly for our family of six. We paired it with Maytag 5.3 Cu. Ft. Washer. Excellent performance for a reasonable price.

Clean and sanitize your dirtiest clothes with this white top-loading washer from Maytag. The sanitize option kills 99.9 percent of bacteria for fresher clothing. The Power Impeller and direct drive motor are tough enough to tackle large loads. This Maytag top-loading washer features automatic detergent and fabric softener dispensers for easy measuring.

Great Size
on May 31, 2017
Posted by: BigSky
Verified Purchase:Yes
We do a lot of laundry for our family of six, so love the size to reduce total number of loads. We did have a couple of cycles early on that didn't adequately drain water, so that makes us a bit nervous, but no problems since (we've had it for six weeks). A bit loud at times, though we have a laundry room far enough away from any room where the noise bothers us. Reasonable price for size and efficiency.
