May require a little getting used to!

Works great. The one caveat I have on this unit is the way that detergent and fabric softener is injected. Most of my previous washing machines have the soap and softener and bleach options all in the front left corner. This unit has ONLY a bleach option there. The detergent and fabric softeners go in a pull-out drawer at the back center of the machine. Don't forget to push it back in, or you'll get no detergent added. And if, like I have multiple times, put the detergent in the bleach tray, nothing will be laundered. Just odd to me that they'd deviate so much from what I've always been used to.
Also, be prepared for a good ten second cycle-complete song. I'm sure you can turn it off, but it's a little over the top.

Works very well, some features a bit confusing

This Samsung dryer is replacing an older model Kenmore. The quality is excellent, though I'm a little baffled by all the pushbutton options. I would have expected a little more modern digital display. Dries clothes quickly and efficiently. The end cycle warning is a little over the top--it basically sings a ten second song for you. (I'm sure you can turn it off if you choose.) It also gives you a mid-cycle "partial load" complete warning, which was a little confusing. We did look it up, and it is functioning properly--basically telling you that SOME of your load is ready to be pulled (which conceivably then will save energy on the rest of the load). When the timer goes off, the clothes are near perfectly dry--the worst we've had so far has just been a very mild dampness around the collar and cuffs for some fabrics. All in all, it works well, and does what it's supposed to with a few extra bells and whistles (literally) than you might be used to.

Almost everything you could want, in one card

Music, movies, games, apps... you name it, and the iTunes cards can provide it for you. It's one of the only things I ask for as a gift anymore, and if you can get it on sale, so much the better. If you're struggling to pick out a gift for someone, and you know they have Apple products, it's a meaningful gift of entertainment with near infinite value.

You really can't go wrong

Despite the price, I've been an Apple ecosystem user for some time now, and it's (mostly) been worth every penny. The escape keys have since been replaced with the swipe bar (which I admittedly don't use much), but it does have a few neat features like Touch ID to log in and instant Siri connectivity (though it's easy enough to have that in your taskbar as well). Somehow, the overall size of the keyboard is the same as my old model but the keys are larger and better spaced. There are a few minor nuisances that I've yet to figure out (like why FaceTime insists upon reappearing in my taskbar no matter how many times I remove it from the dock--this could be an OS issue), but all in all, it has the same functionality as my previous Mac. As with all Apple products, they're on the pricy side, but they make up for that in usability, compatibility, convenience, speed, and reliability.

Offer a mug of hot coffee to everyone in the room with this Waring Pro 14-cup coffee maker. The brew pause function lets you grab a cup before the entire cycle is complete. Set the timer on this programmable Waring Pro 14-cup coffee maker up to 24 hours in advance to ensure a hot cuppa when you want it.

Wife loves it.

Having worked in a few cafes in the past, my wife can be a bit of a coffee "snob." She insisted upon having the temperature control option on any coffeemaker she chose, and it (of course) also had to be time programmable. The carafe is plenty big enough to handle the whole family or small groups, and she's extremely pleased with the quality and consistency. The gold filter is a great addition, provided your grounds aren't so fine that they slip through. This Waring brand is essentially the same as Cuisinart, and if you keep an eye on the daily deals, you might snag one for a steal. Great purchase.

One of the best products on the market

This is the second one of these I've owned, and I can't recommend it enough. Frankly, I can't believe that more companies haven't adopted this completely self-contained design. Perhaps its best feature is that there's no need to search for cables. Everything you need is right there. Need to plug it in? Pop it straight into a wall jack. Need to plug in your phone? Pull out the built-in cables and you're ready to go. It's capacity is amazing--you can expect 4-6 full charges depending on your device, and the recovery speed is better than any other charger that I've used. A full charge can be achieved in around 30-45 minutes--faster if you switch to airplane mode. I've had my model for a number of years, and it holds up well and hasn't seemed to lose much in the way of capacity or speed with age. The only thing I'd suggest is being somewhat cautious with the cables. If you're trying to use your phone while it's plugged in, the cable can become bent or twisted, which, over time, will weaken it. (This is why I purchased a new one. Even so, my original still works perfectly.)
Bottom line: This handy device has saved me more times than I can count. It's a bit on the spendy side but worth every penny, and there are similarly designed models from the company (with less capacity) that aren't as expensive. Great product.

The 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put safely. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up; an amber light lets you know that your laptop is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Necessary, functional, fast, not best design

At this point, I'm a die-hard Apple convert. Few brands do things as well as Apple in nearly every category. Their chargers (in general) are an exception to that rule. They're not made particularly well for long-term, everyday use. Invariably, they tend to break at the junction with the rubber-ish cord guards. There are several products out there that address this issue for iPhone cables, so this is clearly a known and common issue. Have to admit though, I wasn't expecting the same problem from an $80 laptop adaptor. My MacPro has a lot of life left in it after four and a half years, but the adaptor cable began to fray near the magnetic attachment about a year ago. Some electrical tape delayed the inevitable for a while, but it has continued to fray with time and continued use. Nonetheless, it's function is excellent. It charges the laptop quickly. Just wish it were made a little better. It's hard to drop almost a hundred bucks for the adaptor when you get one with the purchase of an entirely new unit. Then again, perhaps that's the point...

Discover the power of the FlexShock protection with this Tech21 Evo Check case. Rounded bumpers prevent minor dents from being disasters, as they dissipate the impact throughout the case so that it doesn't affect one area of your iPhone 8. The cutouts on this Tech21 Evo Check case let you keep using all your phone's functions.
 

would a pop socket stick to the back of this certain material the case is made out of?

It does, but not terribly well. The material is kind of a hybrid plastic/silicon, and my pop socket tends to pull off rather easily.

May I know how long will 100 dollars ITune card last please in years months and days hours and minutes, if buying it 100 dollars to use it?

This is impossible to say, because it depends on what you're planning to use it for. For example, an Apple Music subscription is 9.99/month, so $100 will last you nearly a year (once you figure in taxes, etc) if you use it for nothing else. Cloud storage options are also paid monthly and there are also plenty of opportunities to buy/rent movies, purchase music, in-app purchases for games. It's really nothing so much as like having $100 available to buy a wide variety of products, and it just depends on how much you purchase, how often, and how expensive it is. I have Apple Music, and Cloud Storage, and purchase the occasional in-app content, so for me, $100 would probably last me about four or five months. Your own milage will vary based on your needs or wants.

The good news is that the funds never expire. So as long as you don't spend it all, the money remains in your iTunes account indefinitely.

TL;DR--It depends on how fast you spend it!
