This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

It's a power cord!

Well, if you get an electric dryer you will discover that it doesn't come with the power cord. The reason is that older outlets are 3 pronged, and newer ones are 4 pronged. So figure out what yours is and order the correct one with your dryer. If you are unable to check or are unsure, buy both and return the one that doesn't get used.

Great Dryer!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this with a matching washer. It's simple to use, has ample space and when used with the matching washer, dries clothes quite quickly. For the electric version you have to purchase a power cord separately. I thought that was odd until I realized that there are both 3 and 4 prong outlets (older outlets are usually 3 prong).
The delivery guys did not install the power cord strain relief properly. I watched the guy fumble with it outside on the truck before bringing it inside, so I checked it out after they left (yeah, I could have made them fix it but decided to do it myself). The machine would have worked anyway but I don't leave things undone like that. That was the one thing they botched but that doesn't mean it will happen to you. Just watch them and if you think something looks wacky, have them correct it if you can't do it yourself.
There are more expensive models of this dryer that have a steam cycle, but we didn't need that. For the price point this one is a good deal and works well with it's matching washer. The manual is easy to understand and the controls are easy to use. It remembers your previous settings so keep that in mind...that could be good or bad depending on what you have in the dryer! I would give this more stars if I could. Buy it and enjoy it.

Does the job

I chose this case for my kids laptop because for the price, it had at least the same or more features than some of the more expensive cases. You can easily fit a 15" laptop and a tablet with room to spare for the charging cables and more. It's a really good case for the money.

This is the second or third amiibo figures we got for the kids and they really enjoy them. These work with a few different games which makes them a better value than some other similar toys.

Works Great!

This printer replaced a relatively newer model HP laserjet printer. The HP didn't like to print from anything other than a Windows computer. If you tried printing from an iPad or any other device, it would just sit there and do nothing. Even with my Windows computers the HP would not wake up from sleep mode half the time, and you had to reboot it to print. This simple little Brother printer is a bit louder, and doesn't have the fancy "print from email" (that also didn't work) that the HP had. However, it works every single time and prints from any device, including our phones. Sleep mode or not, it wakes up and prints just like it should. This one also prints duplex without you touching it...it prints one side, then pulls the paper back in and prints on the other side all on it's own. The stupid issues I experienced with the HP are a thing of the past from here on out. This printer is inexpensive, prints duplex and prints clearly from any device. I'm totally happy with it and recommend it to everybody!

I used one of these to upgrade to a Toshiba SSD and it works like a charm. I used the software that came with the hard drive instead of the software that comes with this cable so I can't comment on that. The cable does what it's supposed to do, not much more to say about it!

great upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
The price of these drives keeps dropping and I decided to get a couple for the kids' computers. Honestly, I see an all-around performance increase...not just in boot time (which takes about 5 seconds total), but in loading programs and even with running games to some extent. It won't be long before mechanical drives go the way of the floppy disc. Until then, get yourself one of these and replace your slow drive. BTW, people complain about the software but the latest version works perfectly with windows 10 and below. I had zero issues cloning my drives with it on 3 different laptops. I'm writing this several weeks after the upgrades and still not a single problem....

amiibo Mario

My kids love these amiibo toys. I'm not sure what this particular Mario does specifically (there are a couple of different "kinds" of amiibo Marios). Either way, you can use these with several different games which gives you more bang for your buck. Fun stuff!

My kids love these amiibo toys. They can be used in several different games which makes me as a parent feel like my dollars are going a bit further. Even I think they are fun! I think there are three different colors of Yarn Yoshi so be prepared for your kids to badger you into buying each one. They are only young once I guess!

Inexpensive and easy to carry...

These are good USB flash drives and will fit in your pants pocket without you knowing it's there...which could be a bad thing if you forget it's there. I guess a drawback is in fact their small size, which makes it a little more difficult to remove from a usb slot. Really though, it's not a big deal (pun intended)....

TiVo Roamio OTA (Over-the-Air) DVR: HD antenna users can increase their entertainment options with this OTA DVR. It's a DVR and streaming media player in 1 device. Record and control TV shows, look ahead with a 2-week program guide, and enjoy access to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and YouTube.
 

Connection Clarification

To make sure I am understanding correctly -

I can connect to HD antennae and also connect wirelessly for streaming of Netflix etc.
Yes. If you have your HD antenna connected to one input and the Roku connected to another, you are good to go. Just switch inputs (with your TV remote) to watch one or the other.

internet connection

we have dsl. is this strong enough for the romio ota programmer? and does the wifi have to be on constantly or just a few times a week?
dsl would be good enough. I use a wireless internet provider that averages 1 to 3 Mbps and it works fine.

The Roku connects via wifi so to watch it, wifi has to be on. No connection means no watching the Roku.

do i also have to use my computer to watch netflix on my tv?

Nope. Your computer has nothing to do with the Roku and you don't have to use it in order to watch Netflix on the Roku.

If I already have a "smart TV", does having Roku give me anything new?

I have a smart TV with youtube, hulu, netflix, etc., accessible through the TV. Will Roku add anything that I don't already have? I got one for Christmas and don't know if I should keep it or take it back and exchange for something I do need.
If you have a smart TV, you don't need the Roku...I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything on it that your TV doesn't already have or can get.

do i need a roku for each tv in my home - and will the wifi work with my computer?

You need a Roku for each TV. For the wifi question check out the Roku website. I have seen my Roku units in my bluetooth connection list on my tablet, but haven't tried connecting that way or with a computer....

Do you have the option of watching any of the streaming programming at a later time?

For example, if you were to go to "sleep" during the program, can you access the program later, or pick up say mid-program, or do you have to rewatch entire program, if that is even an option?
You can access the program whenever you want to and watch it as many times as you want to. You sometimes have the option to pick up where you left off, or start the program from the beginning. You can also fast forward or rewind to whatever place you want to in a program, if for some reason you aren't given an option to continue where you left off.

roku used with directv

can roku be used with a tv that is hooked to dirctv?
Yes it can be used along with any other provider, as long as you have an extra HDMI port on your tv to connect the Roku. You would just switch from whatever port the DTV was on to the port the Roku is connected to.
