Factory oem batteries are better

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these to replace a set of non panasonic batteries i had in a panasonic phone. The set of phones i have are 4 bases from 13 years ago, at about 7 years i replace 2 handset batteries, and i tried non panasonic ones, and several brands didnt work, i had to try 3 brands i had at the time laying around (had several new unused sets laying around at the time, and didnt want to invest in more batteries to lay around. Now 6 years later, all the sets (even the off brand ones) needed replacing. So i just bit the bullet and paid the extra. 4 of thise orginal 8 batteries made it 13 years, and all 4 of the off brand ones were dead. Worth the investment in hopes of 13 years out of these. I want to make sure my phones work when i need them.

Reliable switch memory

Verified Purchase:Yes
I put this in my son's switch, it loaded, and no issues, quadrouple the size of memory on board of the standard switch, twice the size of oled switch. It was not much more than comparable quality branded sd cards (samsung, kingston, pny, sony all brands i've used before), but nice to have nintendo stamp of approval that it will work with it's system. I Have no issues reccomending this

![Elvis - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1b2652e3-dc5e-49c5-9419-e6736aa849da.jpg)
Baz Luhrmann's expectedly electric biopic of the King of Rock 'n' Roll offers an arresting central performance by Austin Butler, as the peaks and valleys of Elvis Presley's performing career are recounted through the deathbed reflections of ex-manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), the Southern Svengali who cannily trained the Tupelo youngster's charismatic gifts on the American public-and just as ruthlessly exploited them. Olivia DeJonge, Richard Roxburgh, Helen Thomson also star. 159 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Good movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
This review is for the 4k version of Elvis. They used Elvis name and it's about his rise and death, but it really is more about Colonel Parker and what they believe his view of the situation was. They could have called the movie PARKER, but the other name has the draw. I had known much of the story of Elvis and knew it was sad, but this really made it hit you in the gut with how bamboozeled this young performer was. Still able to make "the king" stutus without a true worldwide presence. The casting was excellent, except I'm not a Tom Hanks fan, just my own bias, and I will give him credit, he did good, but he brings a lot of baggage to the role. I can't stop hearing Forrest Gump talk. In roles this big, it's good to have a big name, but i felt a lesser known actor could have done well. Still, i will give this a full 5 stars. The music alone keeps it no lower than 4 stars (a good section of it and performances) The format on 4k is excellent. I cant think of not having this on the best format available. Worth the few dollars more

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this item for my son's birthday. It's all the fun of the switch with animal crossing branding. The game is not included. That being said, my som loves animals, and this was right up his ally. Also it is really the only special edition one out there available right now, i figured why not. My younger son now wants one as well. This is the first gaming console since i got my wii, after my playstation 3. It's very cool that it's portable, but even nicer that it functions like the wii. Many of my kids friends can play with them online, as well as the games they play are on here (namely minecraft). The library is incredible, including favorites like need for speed for me, mario for my wife. A good value, and very family friendly. Highly recommended

Easy set up, easy to expand, reliabe connection
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this as an expansion to my original 3 pack of eeros I got. My house is a good size and the 3 did well for it, but I Had a thin spot in the corner of the house where my boys have rooms, and on my front porch that is just outside of that. With this unit i was able to have my mesh cover the 4 corners of my house, and the bulk of my lot (minus the far back corner of my land). It was simple to set up, just plug in, pull up eero app and follow the instructions of "add a unit". We stream a lot of stuff and at any given time 2 to 3 tv's are going while 2 computers and phones are connected and we have no issues, unless our provider does. Cost and value wise and feature wise, on par with other brands available, like netgear, which their mesh units i took a hard look at because that's the brand i've used for 15 years, but went with this because i had a chance to test it before i bought it and i knew it was solid and the software app was very good. My brother got the netgear, excellent also, but i'm pleased with this, and would make the same purchase again if i had to do it over. Highly reccommended.

Best e-reader out there in my opinion
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to replace a very old kindle that was being lugged around for many years. I have experience from kindle first generation to kindle fire first generations (as well as 3rd gen), to kindle with keyboards and the first paperwhite model. I must say, this is by far the best for reading i have handled. This uses the fantastic e-ink still on a gently backlit screen, easy to read in the dark or sunlight, any setting. It is light and connects quickly to the internet and my library, loads books fast and flipping through books is quick. I habe a case that works with it and when it's closed it puts it to sleep, and when opens it awakens. Battery life is very good, one charge lasts over 30 days of use for me at least thus far, never really let it get all the way dead. Overall, this is a reasonable value and if it lasts as long as my previous versions, and they don't make it software obsolete, i will be a very happy buyer.

I took my boys to the theater to see this, and found it quite entertaining. Following the first movie well, this is a good story about friendship and fame values. For some reason the part where Mr. McGregor rolls down the hill gets me laughing hard every time. They still made a dvd bluray combo of this, which i alway find excellent for copy for home and one for traveling with the kids. A good family movie

Surprisingly good movie
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: averageguy
This movie was a pleasant surprise. The trailer looked like your average action/secret life film, but this ended being a bit better than average. The cast was great, and the story some what of a fresh take, but the blend of humor, action and shock was just the right blend, i purchased the 4k on sale forcless than a digital purchase at the time, and i find it well worth it. I have reccommended this to many friends.

I bought this movie with no expectations. My boys thought it looked interesting and wanted to see it, so i picked it up. The storyline is good, the action is good, and justvthe right blend of corney clever humor, even my wife who doesn't care for a lot of these action films found herself watching and chuckling. The rock was well suited for this role, and all actors did a good job. Most importantly, my boys did like it, which means more stuff for them to watch while traveling in the van.

Verified Purchase:Yes
These speakers work well for anazon prime music and with amazon alexa. I got 2 of these on sale as a gift for my mother in law to go with her older one i got her last year. She uses her first one so often in her kitchen i got these to set up in her bedroom and living room. They connected without an issue to her network via the alexa app and setting up a home group or different listening groups is very easy. Right niw i have hers all independent, but she can just click on a setting in the app and walk from one room to another and have same song at the same spot. Overall does what we expected it to do, and likeky we are underutilizing all the features. That being said the sound is good, and these are very affordable, good value.

5 out of 5The best soundbar I have used.
By averagetechguy
from concerned one
I received this item at no cost to test through the best buy tech insider network and to give my unbiased opinion. I currently have a 7.1 surround sound system on my main entertainment center, but I got this as a sound system for my rec room area so that I do not want to have to have a bunch of speakers around, but I also don't want to compromise sound. This delivers.
I have had experience with vizio, auvio, nakamichi, samsung, bose, and lg soundbars in the past, only one with a sub, but it was wired. This soundbar blows anything away that I've had. The size is very reasonable and could sit on the mantle in my front room if it were there. it is a bit deeper than most "soundbars", but still can mount to the wall below the tv. It came with a stencil and spacers to mark the wall and hang. The sub I can tuck under an end table to the side of the room. This has no fade in clarity even at louder volumes.
This setup was easy, pull it out of the box and go. The quick start guide was much appreciated. I connected this a few ways via hdmi arc and optical. I utilized my 4k disc player and also 4k vudu and netflix to test dolby atmos and dts x, and and wow, this system is crisp and defined, good bass that is adjustable. I utilized Apocalypse Now 4k to see how the surround effects would go with Dolby Atmos, and just hearing that chopper go across the screen in the opening scene made me want to duck to not get hit. It had excellent directional flow from left to right as the chopper flew across the screen. I did stream some music via Bluetooth as well as Heos app, and all sounded good.

The Heos app could be useful, it tries to combine your library and streaming into one spot but I just don't have problems going to each of my services or files to play stuff. I have the app on my phone but likely won't use it much. I do know now that this is on my rec room tv, I may be watching more stuff there than on my main system. I don't mind letting my family do what they want with the main system, I will not lose any quality of what I'm doing with this. I highly recommend this item if you want assured quality sound with minimal effort. You do get what you pay for here

Update
August 29, 2023
It's been a while since I reviewed this and I forgot to update this sooner. This soundbar sounds great initially, did fine for about a few months or so, then it developed a tic, low grade constant tic. With movies and actions it can get buried, but when quite or light noise...constant tic. Something isn't grounded correctly. I relegated it to my second TV, and got busy with life and I did not pursue warranty on it, but I'm sure they would possibly honor it.

5 out of 5Good combo single serve/drip machine
By averagetechguy
I got this to try and free up counter space from having both my drip coffee maker and single serve out on the counter all the time. Single serve on business days, but on weekends I can brew a pot to have all morning. This takes up a little less footprint than my old single serve machine (just over 10 years old). I have it on a lift that has k cups storage in it and it fits easily inder my cabinet. The set up of this is easy, follow the assembly order. They put the k cup adapter in the coffee pot, that was a bit of a trick to get out, but it did. It comes with a reusable single sever pod and the kcup adapter, and then reusable standard filter. Thus thing works good. It is a bit slower than my old single sever machine, but brew time for 12 cups is same as old standard drip machine. It brews coffee, tastes like coffee. I have no complaints. Five stars so far. My old machine is still going after 10 years, I hope this lasts as long. My old one won't be decommissioned just moved to my office. This one will be my daily use for now.

I found a flaw after posting
October 24, 2023
I have many types of coffee, and had used this for several days before cycling though my coffee rotation and I have a brand of coffee that uses compostable pods (a subscription style coffee club) , no k-cup style. No issues in my old machine and the other machines my friends and family have (I my own coffee when I travel) and this pod does not fit, no matter how I try it, just doesn't slide in far enough. I would have totally deducted a star for this had I made it through my full rotation of coffee. So far it's just this one pod, but it's my favorite coffee, other compostsble pods were a but different than I have with this,but again would have been enough to easily deduct a star for me.

4 out of 5Cool feeder
By averagetechguy
I saw this item and i had to get it. It's more than just a simple field camera for birds. This is a small feeder, I wish it held a bit nore food, and the style is nice, but to fill it is a bit awkward. I like the metal hanging triangle on the top, it habgs well from my crook. This unit takes pictures sorts out bird vs no bird then send you a photo (called a postcard) with the bird identified if it got a good enough view. This does have a limitation of needing to be within wifi range, so it is somewhat close to my house, but hopefully i stashed it far enough the commotion going on in the house doesn't scare away the birds. It did take me a minute on initial set up because it did not have the led lights displaying while I charged it, but the website does have a troubleshooting for this. None of that initially worked. The day I sent a message to support I got a very prompt response, but it started working before I had to do further troubleshooting with them. A bit finicky, but no issues since then. A+ customer service (it was a weekend and they responded). The picture is clear when live streaming and so far, I've had a few sparrows, but nothing else exciting yet. It's only been 5 days, and it got warm, so birds are in the fields getting the remnants of harvest. I joined bird buddy pro, which can be monthly fee or save with very low cost yearly fee. This unlocks the full HD potential, bird frenzy that allows quicker photos (but lowers battery life) and allows you to mute/ignore species from postcards. You can also be part of the community and have up to 10 people you can host. It also unlocks all access to the network of fedders around the world they have. I was following ones in Hawaii and one in Canada recently. So far. My initial battery charge has held up for 5 days and still at 98%, but it has been sunny. We'll see when we hit overcast winter. In summary, it is fairly easy to set up, once running it's doing what it needs to. The application is neat, yiu have bird tv, live feeds all over the world, the community with tons of photos of birds. And a favorites list of feeders you can fallow. I will give this 4 out of 5 stars, with partial deduction for the low capacity of seed, awkward filling, and slight hiccup in the set up. Definitely I would reccomend this item though.

One negative I've found now that I've had this in use for several months is i can't keep it stocked fast enough. It is suck a small capacity and with the sub zero weather right now, it's empty in as little as 12 hours. I wish this was quite a bit bigger. It holds if I had to guess 40 to 50oz's (bout 1.5 32oz drink cup full) of food. I wish this would hold about triple that. With 2 foot of snow on the ground where I live, I'm getting exercise filling this.
