Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and a complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware, and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced Clean Water Wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks, and the fan enabled ProDry system provides thorough drying, so dishes come out ready for more enjoying.

Easy Setup, Clean Sound
on April 14, 2023
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 2 channel receiver replaced a Marantz NR1609 multi-channel surround receiver because the NR1609 had more features than I needed. The NR1200 sounds "cleaner" and more "natural" with recordings of acoustic instruments and its setup is easier since it's only 2 channels. The internal circuitry is designed more for music reproduction as explained in the Marantz website.

Poorly Designed Switch

The "ON/OFF" switch is small and difficult to move. First mouse I've had that needs two hands to turn on/off. Otherwise, it was expected for a wireless mouse.

Top Notch Terry Gilliam
on January 20, 2023
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Probably the role that brought Brad Pitt to my attention to take him seriously as an actor. Bruce Willis is outstanding and at his drooling best in the first third. The retro sets, story line, make-up, etc. are classic Gilliam. The 4K transfer makes the movie look the best I've ever seen on home video.

GOT Sequel
on January 20, 2023
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Some fans of Game of Thrones may be put off but I found this 1st season quite engaging despite some strange choices in actors in the second half, some of whom resemble different characters more than the one they played. Nonetheless, the SFX are good, there barely a likable character but the dragons have more character that the ones in GOT. Looking forward to season 2.

Could be 5 Stars for the Right Person
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent laptop. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the Win11 user interface. But that's not necessarily LG's fault. Otherwise it has fast boot up/shutdown, web surfing is a breeze, it's got looonnngg battery life. Notably, it has an Ethernet RJ45 input, plenty of USB 3.0 but the lack of an on board disc drive means paying extra to get one as an accessory. I was sold on it when it went on sale at $500 off MSRP.

It's the year 2029, and much of the world's mutant population has succumbed to a genocidal, man-made virus. As a down-and-out Logan (Hugh Jackman, in his final appearance as the character) comes to terms with his failing healing factor, he and an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) must protect Laura (Dafne Keen)-a young genetically bred mutant with powers similar to Logan's-from the evil organization that created her. With Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant.

ONE OF THE BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIES OF ALL TIME
By Fred
Great movie and to me, one of the best in the XMen franchise. Awesome final outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart at Professor X. Great story and acting. Highly recommend.

Will using a fiber optic HDMI cable eliminate my handshake issues? It takes about 10 seconds for an Image to appear with a 35' HDMI active cable. Will a fiber optic cable be worthwhile? If so, how long might the handshake take to produce an image?
