It would be great if I had the time to prepare only fresh foods but alas there is a need for frozen dinners.
Only a couple quibbles... The start button is on the wrong side of the panel compared to my last microwave and the one at work. The express cook button adds 30 seconds at a time but only until like 4:30 then it adds minutes. Should go up to 5:00 or start adding whole minutes at 4:00.

There aren't many ways to thoroughly utilize the gaming experience on any platform without converting your dollars into gamers' currency. Microsoft is at least more transparent than most. There seems to be an ability to hack these systems and I feel *slightly* more secure uploading from a gift card than sharing credit card information.
One star off because the Amazon, Apple, etc system of scanning a card with my iPhone is not obvious if its even available.

Please don't expect much more than basic web browsing. Streaming video works if very close to the wireless access point. It is a cheap method for turning an older hdmi television into a slow smart tv.

Lightning strike two doors down created a surge that necessitated replacing the last Motorola modem. Went with this upgrade with fingers crossed that the untapped potential would someday be usable. Setup was smooth, just required a call to COX and a magnifying glass to read the minuscule digits to the tech. No reason I can see for keeping the type so small (minus a star).

Apple's proprietary lightning cable is a wonderful idea... plug works no matter how you line it up. But the connection between the cable and the plug is plagued with issues. Twisting and pulling fine copper wires and their delicate insulation sleeves will eventually lead to a break. Apple, please make the transition sleeve longer. Make it able to handle the longitudinal and torsional forces that are a part of daily use. Make a cable that lasts an entire year, please.

My house has a bizarre plumbing set up that has the utility hook up in the kitchen adjacent to the wall of the utility room. These hoses are run through an access port in the wall. Would be very nervous with this set up if not using reinforced stainless steel lines.

Purchased this washer w 30% off deal in early July. Best Buy offers great deals if you're patient!
Using this washer to avoid the laundromat. Did not purchase a dryer, instead hung a clothes line. Spin cycle on normal load is so fast there is no need for a dryer! Everything short of a king-sized comforter is dry within 12 hours. Saving $30-$40 per month.
Installation crew was great! The opening was barely wide enough for the machine. They were careful and courteous.
Would highly recommend!

What's not so great: Water pipe hammer effect, could use a more gradual valve system

Big machine suction power*. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal cord-free vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Animal and up to 60 minutes of fade-free runtime. The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets, and suck up pet hair and ground in dirt. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick cleanups, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places.*Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the flexible inlet.
 

Dyson V10 Soft roller cleaner head? is this the only difference from the absolute and the animal? if so what does it do that that the animal can not

Soft roller head is for hardwood floors. If you have tile or linoleum and carpet but no wood flooring I'd save the $100.

Enhance your computing experience with this SanDisk Ultra 3D solid-state drive. Its nCache 2.0 technology provides enhanced data transfer speeds, and it~s more robust and power-efficient because of its advanced 3D NAND technology. This solid-state drive has a sequential read speed of 560MB/s for faster loading of large applications. You~ll notice that applications load faster and files move quicker~plus you~ll get longer battery life and much cooler, quieter computing.
 

What are the differences between SanDisk SDSSDH3-512G-G25 and SDSSDH3-500G-G25? They cost the same and both are sold at BB. Which one should we buy? One has 12 Gig more - that is all I know.

The Ultras have a different memory type and faster (slightly) overall throughput.

Experience speeds up to 24 times faster than an HDD with this PNY 240BG SSD. It also operates at a lower temperature than a standard hard drive, providing even more performance improvements. Enjoy the drive's quiet operation, and save money on utility bills with this energy-efficient SSD. The PNY 240GB SSD is covered by a three-year warranty.
 

Is it compatible with Laptop HP Pavilion DV4-1424

Yes but there are very inexpensive laptops that will serve you better than upgrading a machine of that advancing age. System Bus speed with DDR4 memory are super quick. Skip the upgrade process if possible with the DV4.

Is this laptop VR ready in terms of graphics and processing speed?

Doubtful. Nice looking screen with limits. This system is noticeably slower than a two year old ASUS ROG laptop with upgraded HDD to SSD. Don't go with this product if that is most important consideration.

Whistling noise

Is it normal for there to be a fairly loud, high pitched whistling sound coming from the back of the washer during the wash and rinse cycle when the water sprays? It happened on the very first use and continues to do so. How that this be fixed?
No, I don't hear any sounds from the machine now that I've installed water hammer arresters. Well, maybe the hum of the spin cycle but not what you're describing.

Can I skip cycles?

I wanted to just rinse and spin rather than go through the entire cycle. How can I skip forward?
You can choose NO SPIN when programming the wash.
