This internal dvd writer is average like most dvd writers. However most of these are too large for the newer computers which use the smaller plastic products. I use it externally with a housing unit that has a sata connector.

Good fryer but not practical
on July 13, 2019
Posted by: mikepags
Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality of the product is fine but cooking with it is hit and miss until you get the hang of it. Food comes out crispy but dry unless you use some oil or cooking spray. The cooking times are recommended but you still need to watch the food and taste it as it nears completion. I have tried cooking frozen foods and they come out very dry unless I use oil or spray the foods.

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

The one that started it all! Experience the terror - from the beginning - with the first chilling chapter of the Alien saga, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout performance as Ripley. When the crew of the space-tug Nostromo responds to a distress signal from a barren planet, they discover a mysterious life form that breeds within human hosts. The acid-blooded extraterrestrial proves to be the ultimate adversary as crew members battle to stay alive and prevent the deadly creature from reaching Earth.

Classic Film in 4k

from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like this film you will love it even more in 4k. Considering the age of the film this still holds up as one of the great horror films. I would like to see the other 3 sequels come out in 4k.

It's a Shark

It has excellent suction and a long cord. You can't go wrong with a Shark. The price and quality are excellent. It picks up a lot of dirt in carpets and works very well on hard floors.

Great picture but few inputs
on December 6, 2018
Posted by: mikepags
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
My only complaint about the tv is that there are only two hdmi inputs. Additionally, you may notice a sync issue with live broadcasts where the voice is not exactly in sync with the picture. Comcast has a secondary set of HD channels in the 1000 and above range. Those channels appear to be in sync. The sync issue is a common complaint with a lot of Samsung tvs. Use the settings to set no delay for audio. This tv is best for a bedroom and not as a primary tv because of the lack of inputs.

Small keyboard

This keyboard is too small for users that can touch type. I have found that I am forced to use hunt and peck because the spacing and location cause me to keep hitting the wrong keys. This keyboard is best for light use.

A good warranty but pricey

Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple charges a lot for AppleCare and I have not had to use it yet. This is the standard warranty and you still have to pay for repairs and parts when you break the item. But it is better to have a warranty for expensive items.

Perfect adapter for high resolution monitors

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this adapter with my Macbook Pro and LG high res monitor and it does the job. This adapter works with 4k monitors provided you have the right HDMI cables for 4k. Some adapters and cables are limited and buyers should check the specs on both before buying.

The Hamilton Beach Fast Brew Coffee Urn makes 15-45 cups of coffee and brews 45 cups in just 28 minutes. The urn features dual heaters to keep coffee hot without overheating. The ready light illuminates to let you know when the coffee's ready to serve. Coffee is simple to pour from the urn using the easy-press lever. The lever activates with the push of a cup making it easy to pour coffee using just one hand. The urn dispenses coffee into any kind of cup including disposable cups. Clear water level markings on the urn's water/coffee level window make it easy to see how much water you're adding or how much coffee is left in the urn. The removable coffee filter basket lifts from the urn and is easy to clean in the dishwasher. No paper filters are needed. The brushed metal finish looks great with every decor and resists fingerprints. The handles stay cool to the touch for comfort, and the lid on the large coffee maker locks in place to eliminate spills.
 

Does this urn have an auto shut off to protect it from boiling dry?

No

The explanation between available Windows and Mac versions is absolutely confusing. The listing says the Windows version is download and Mac is digital. What’s the difference???

There is no difference between a download or digital; they are the same thing.

I am in error, there are 3 fans in front.

This Honeywell Cool Mist humidifier delivers comfortable humidity to help keep throat and nasal passages hydrated.
 

Since the water canister is a top fill, is it just open? From the pics it looks like it’s open. So anything in the air could fall into the water chamber? Dust, hair, bugs, etc?

There is a slotted plastic cover for the water cannister if you want to refill without taking the cover off.

Is this vacuum a lift away so you can get under the bed? Where the dirt canister comes off to get where you want for sweeping

No, you cannot lift the cannister off and still vacuum but you can use the attachements if it is a hard floor.
