Good radio -- but only if you get a deal

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sirius is good. Many channels and many without commercials. But.... A lot of people don't stay with it. Why? Cost. Insanely $$ with compared to streaming. I've found they can be negotiated with. If they do then the value comes back up.

What the S20 Ultra should have been
on February 15, 2021
Posted by: CaptainObvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent so far. Definitely faster and more responsive than the S20 Ultra. Camera is better and resolves the old focusing issues. Fingerprint area is bigger and more responsive. Battery life is good. In short, what the S20 Ultra should have been. A ridiculous number of adjustments I barely understand or care to. Spend some time researching it and be rewarded with longer battery life. Little thins like black backgrounds and not as bright settings make a difference. One complaint a chronic Samsung problem: Bloatware. Most can be deleted. Remember to back the phone up periodically.

Great case. Fits phone well and gives nice protection. Not too bulky, but a good fit in my hand. Recommended. Not fancy like many, but I don't want that. Functional and protective, but pricey for what it is.

GlassFusion+ now has D3O, the world~s thinnest, most advanced impact protection. The D3O technology makes it 20% stronger than regular GlassFusion, and it doesn~t decrease the clarity or thickness of this Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G screen protector. GlassFusion+ also provides chip and crack protection and high-definition clarity. We've also added an antimicrobial treatment that protects your screen protector by guarding against degradation from microorganisms.* And it~s compatible with Samsung~s ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Protects phone, fussy install. Good overall
on February 15, 2021
Posted by: CaptainObvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good, solid screen protector. A little finicky to install, but most are. Worth having Best Buy do it for a few $$ due to the Warranty. It is fussy to install and tends to lift over time as many do, but still a good choice. I am very handy and then some, but these can be finicky to install. Floating dust always seems to find my screen.

Good programming, so-so ergonomics
on January 15, 2021
Posted by: CaptainObvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
Programming and ease of use are quite good. A star is knocked off for ergonomics. This remote is too small, too slippery and not illuminated. Watching a movie in the dark and attempting to use the remote usually results in wrong action.I'd pay a little more for amore robust and easier to use remote with bigger buttons.

Very good protection, but fussy install
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: CaptainObvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
A good product. Does its job well. but install can be fussy. Despite being very mechanically inclined I let Best Buy do this. Why? Simple. If there is an error (as happened once) they re-do it and give a guarantee. Installs can be fussy. A piece of unseen dust or a small hair make an otherwise clean install go awry.

Great trimmer. Clean, well built and easy to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only reason I bought the 9000 instead of the cheaper 7000 is that the 7000 was out of stock. It seems every bit as good and with a few more accessories. Does what it needs to effortlessly. Well built and easy to use. Its make the instructions larger. Wow...the print is SMALL. Looking online didn't help much.

Disappointed
By Stephen from Shelbyville, KY
I was expecting more since it is a Zagg product. The screen protector is thin and flimsy and seems to be slightly too large for the S-10 screen. I followed the directions as best I could and ended up with too many bubbles - which seem to be impossible to remove. I cannot recommend this product.

Terrible Product
By DanielleF
This is a terrible product. It did not fit length wise. I didn't expect it to fit the edges but the fact it didn't fit the length by at least 1/4 of an inch is not acceptable.
As others posted, the bubbles were very difficult to remove.
I would not recommend this.

Steel book had a dent
By Sage
I was really looking forward to it after seeing the movie three times in theaters. Unfortunately, I noticed that the steelbook was dented after I unwrapped it at home. Don’t think I’ll be picking up pre-orders for steel books from Best Buy anymore.

Is this drive suckable?

Did you mistype? I highly doubt any drive is "suckable".

If you mean "stackable" I am not sure, but would encourage some measure of air circulation. Heat is the enemy of most electronics.

Get clean, fresh clothes with this LG front load washer. Ideal for families, the 4.5 cu. ft. upper washer handles large loads while the pedestal washer cleans small volumes without wasting energy. ThinQ technology lets you control this LG front load washer from anywhere and sends you notifications when cycles are complete.
 

Does this have the smart dispense detergent feature where you can put a bottle of detergent in and it will automatically dispense the right amount in each load?

Not that I am aware of.

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.
 

I bought these in April. I have had them less than 5 months and they won't hold a charge for very long. Why? Is there anything that can be done?

You may be able to "reset" the unit, but as it is under warranty I'd call Best Buy and/or Bose. No sense in messing around.
