Highly disapointed
on July 6, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I thought the drone itself was awesome despite not having obstacle avoidance. It was fast and very responsive, that is, when I could get it to work. The problem with this was the remote that controls it, it uses your phone to link up to the on-board camera on the drone so you can see where you are going. You also have the option of using just the phone itself, which, I tried, but, I could not get this to work either since I couldn't find the password and since the instructions on the app were so vague ( Also, I could not find anything about this in the instructions). I played with it over and over with the remote sometimes just trying to get it to connect to the drone, but, it wouldn't do it most of the time. Finally, when I got the thing to connect to the drone, the app wanted me to calibrate the remote (this is on top of calibrating the drone, which was easy), but, when I tried doing that, the remote would not respond to the motions that I followed on the screen.
After much frustration, I finally decided to return it to Best Buy. I am really disappointed with this purchase, which I was really excited about. I was hoping I would be able to take some awesome photography for my trip to the Southwest starting for tomorrow, but, I didn't want to be stuck with a buggy drone (or remote) that I would not be able to return once I got back. Also, this was my first drone, so, even though I am a novice, this whole experience turned me off from purchasing a drone right in the near to long-term future Drones that rely on external factors such as phones for their navigation have to many factors that can go wrong at any time. This includes operating system integration and application updates that can change the entire operation of your drone, forcing you to either upgrade your phone or purchase a new drone.
I am hoping that the major companies will start making remotes with screens integrated into them as an all-in-one package so customers will not have to deal with the hassle of the unknown variables with their phones. I know there are drones out there that do this, but, in terms of quick, easily portable, on-the-go drones, there are no really good options out there. Go Pro does this, but their drones and remotes have issues, so, I decided to wait it out, probably for a couple of years longer to buy a new one, if ever.

This is an awesome case! It can resist impact from probably over 10 feet high. Also, it allows you to strap your portable hard drive in like it were a child riding in your car. Didn't think the quality would be this good when I purchased it.

Awesome watch!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't know why everyone jumps on the Apple bandwagon so much, especially when other companies such as Samsung have superior products. This watch can be used with phones that are not Samsung that display superior quality and features for about the same price. I disliked the Gear S2 because the lock that held the bands broke off basically making the watch useless, unless, one wants to go back to 19th century pocket watches. This seems to be solidly built and I look forward to using for several more years.

Best Buy has always offered me great deals on protection plans and honored them one something happens to one of my purchases. I will continue to buy them when I order items that are valued and/or heavily used.

You're excited to buy a new major appliance ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad~ Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.

I have never had an issue with returning a troubled item to Best Buy. If they wouldn't let me get a new item, they always gave me a gift card for the original price. I will keep on purchasing these protection plans on the items that matter and get used the most by myself.

The Insignia 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Compact Fridge has an adjustable thermostat and its reversible door makes it easy to fit into your room layout. The flat back of this 17.3-inch-wide compact refrigerator enables flush placement against walls, and the smooth finish fits with existing decor.

Ok fridge for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price, I thought I was getting a steal. I need it to be stealth so I can hide it at work, but, this things tends to make a swishing noise that can be easily detected when the room is quiet. It does its job in cooling things, but, like I said, I wish the manufacturers could have made it run softer.

Cut your phone bills if you're a home body

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product itself is ok, but the price you pay for it not having a landline is soooooo much cheaper. If you really don't need a cell ( I can't imagine that would be too many people these days) this is the way to go. It's only a few dollars a month for the service. This handset in particular gives you access to many options such as call blocking a voice mail right from the handset. The only problem with it is setting it up. Also, you may have some issues if you are trying to set up more than three, but, this will give me a backup in case anything happens to one currently in operation.

This movie brings me back to my college days. I really didn't like it at first, but once I watched it again, it became one of my instant favorites, it just had to grow on me first. However, seeing it in Blu-Ray made it even more memorable this time.
