Achieve the deep-fried flavor you love, without all the oil and added calories. The Chefman TurboFry~ Touch Air Fryer allows you to bake, fry and roast like a pro. This airfryer requires little to no oil, so there~s less of that fried oil smell lingering in the house and less fat that you~re consuming. Its large 3.5-liter capacity and flat basket gives you the ability to cook enough for a hungry crowd all at once. Skip the microwave! Reheat soggy leftovers in the air fryer to return them to their original texture. Make better-for-you fries that are just as crispy and tasty, roast chicken thighs, or heat up leftovers for a quick and easy meal. The temperature control with 60-minute timer automatically shuts off once food is done, so you never have to worry about burning or drying out your food. Its space saving basket is removable and dishwasher safe for easy clean-up, so you~ll have more time to dream up your next air-fried meal!

Best fries in along time
on August 9, 2019
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
OK, my first experience with an Air Fryer. I have a high end air oven that does fine but I needed something easier to clean and cook smaller quantities.
So my wife prepared 3 pounds of fresh cut potatoes soaked in salt water and drained. Tossed the load with a little olive oil and put it in the oven. Set the time for 24 minutes and checked it at 10 minutes with a full turn of the contents to put the bottom fries on the top. Did another check and turn at 8 more minutes. Then added 10 minutes and it turned out perfect. Me an the kids were fighting over the last few fries.
So the person that burned their food you need to check this at the 50% point and adjust the time and number of food flips at each check. If you are cooking one layer of food then you may get by with a simpler approach.
Unit worked out of the box and had two cook books plus instructions. The model I got was not super large and the perfect size.
Unit is 10 amps and will work on all circuits.

After two weeks still a great TV
on December 25, 2016
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
Bought this a Samsung.com and was surprised it arrived undamaged.
Turned all the extra equipment on before I turned the TV on and it auto setup everything. Seems the picture is better when I set all inputs to HDR. Not sure if that is what I should do as the manual is MIA.
This is the most advanced TV technology wise I have ever seen.

BT does not connect to my 65KS9000 or soundbar
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: ETP1
from fl
BT does not connect to my 65KS9000 or 355 soundbar.
Was able to get wifi working for two speakers after 2 hours on the support line. Evidently you have to group these only after each one logs into wifi.
Sound is muddled. Works ok with Pandora but the volume is too low.
Got these direct from Samsung at 71 each but probably work $30 each. No battery so you have wires everywhere. If it was a high quality system you could put up with the wires and maybe hook these direct to a device by USB TBD. Love Samsung products but this was a disappointment.
Will update as I use it more.

This does not pass PS3 games sounds. This should be in big print on the box since folks are buying it for a PS3. However it does work on a computer as a cheap headset.

Charge and display your DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller with the officially licensed Charging Stand. Charging is a snap - Simply connect the charging adapter to the micro USB port on the DUALSHOCK 4, set the controller on the stand and click down to see the LED base light up to indicate charging level. When fully charged, click to release contact and simply leave the controller on the stand. Be certain your controller is always ready to game as it stylishly charges on display alongside of your PS4 console.

You have to put a special adapter on the PS4 controller for it to work. No wonder these were on clearance for five dollars in the store. It does work/ just not very convenient.

Best quality laptop so far at this price point

Bought this on sale last week with a student coupon so that made it in the lowish 500's.
Cleaned the system up by eliminating all extra antivirus programs and reactivation of Defender. Set it to max performance and disabled flash player.
Cleaned disk, and defragged.
As fast as a Surface with the same specs after boot. With no SSD boot is slow as it should be.
Aluminum case is perfect.

Great quality, good buy!

Ive been researching and shopping for the perfect laptop. Just wanted a nice laptop for home use...streaming movies, internet, some apps but want it to be fast. This fit the bill. Its very nice quality and works very well so far. Set up went smoothly and I was impressed with the picture quality. My only complaint is, I wish it wasn't so heavy. I'm not sure why they made this new Notebook heavier and thicker then last years model. Other then that I really like it..great buy!

Great laptop, but...
By Chicagoland
I absolutely love this laptop, it looks great, outstanding keyboard and love the fact that it can handle 32GB of ram (BBY specs incorrect), Samsung specs show 32GB. This is primary reason to make the purchase. One huge drawback is the internal Toshiba 1TB 5400 RPM Drive. It is soooo slow....takes 6-8 minutes on startup to get out of 100% disk access. I cant wait to upgrade it to SSD and also install an M.2 SSD as well. (have to wait because of warranty. Like I said, this is a great laptop, (is very expandable), but comes with very poor drive.
BB/Samsung - Notebook 7 Spin 2-in-1 13.3" at BB f
August 30, 2016
This unit does not take 6-8 minutes to boot. Suggest you uninstall the extra anti virus and clean disk. Then defrag. Don't forget the WIN 10 anniversary update.
You should not open up the unit while under warranty. Wait until the year is up before installing a SSD.
Mine boots the same speed as the average computer without a SSD. Maybe a little faster. But it never took 6 minutes. Maybe 1-2 minutes max after clean up.

A nice upgrade from original Xbox One
By GamePlayingBear
The Xbox One S is a nice upgrade from the original Xbox One. It is significantly smaller than the original and it does not have the large power brick, or any power brick for that matter. It is quiet and stays cool while playing games. I also like having a white console for a change of pace, since most consoles are black except for special edition ones.
This version also supports 4K video playback via the Blu-ray player or other sources, such as streaming. This is a nice feature for those who have 4K TVs. The console in this bundle has a 1TB hard drive, which is a nice upgrade to the 500GB one in the cheaper bundles.
This bundle also includes Gears of War 4, which people will like if they liked others in the series. It comes with one controller, 2 batteries for the controller, and all the needed cables, even an HDMI cable.
Overall it is a good bargain for any gamers looking for a smaller Xbox One and 4K video support.

Can the factory hard drive be replaced by an aftermarket SSD. If so, what flavor SATA or PCI-e?

Yes, but it will invalidate the warranty unless an authorized Samsung shop does it. Just wait until the one year is up.

Can you upgrade the processor to Intel Core i7? Quickbooks requires a minimum of 2.4 GHz processor.

Probably not but I called Samsung and opening the case will invalidate the warranty. So the first year you need to leave it alone.
