Nice Frig if it was not messed up
on January 12, 2024
Posted by: btb601
Verified Purchase:Yes
First frig was a BB brand and it could keep temps up set on high.
Got this GE for replacement and it came from factory all dented up on the bottom, scuff and scratches along with delivery guy taking the doors off incorrectly which resulted in damage.
After talking with the wife, we called BB and told them it was really messed up and we would plug it in and try it if they would cut the price in around half of what we paid. They said they could only take 100 off or give extended warranty. We said that was not enough, we would have bought a scratch and dent instead. So we returned it.
Then I see the frig came up as a open box unit for 579, which really made us upset, we would have kept it for that.
Disappointed with this whole thing.

The Insignia 18 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator has a separate top freezer compartment to store your frozen products and keep them organized on shelves or in the door trays. The fridge has three shelves to organize your food, with two that adjust to fit taller items. Door trays comfortably store your bottles and condiments, even 1-gallon jugs, and the humidity-controlled crisper drawers keep fruits and vegetables fresh. The refrigerator is also internally lit so you can find items easily.

BestBuy at my Rescue

Everybody gets a lemon every now and again. Just seems more infrequent these days.
Geek Squad delivery was on time, got into the house after they unboxed it. 5 STARS ON THE DELIVERY PART. Professional and very quick.
After they left, I pulled off all the tape, and styrofoam and cardboard that was protecting the inside. Grabbed the manual and gave it a quick read. It said the frig needed to sit for a couple of hours after delivery for better cooling. ??? So I decided to wipe down the inside for a quick clean as suggested in the manual.
Frig in appearance was almost perfect, there was a scuff or some kind of glue or scratch on the main door. I tried to clean that, but could not be removed. No big deal for me, this was a basement frig for backup and beverages. Wasn't concerned about appearance, color or size really.
Just needed a working frig asap. (it was ordered the night before on the phone)
Got her plugged in and threw two Ruuvi temp and humidity Bluetooth trackers along with a mechanical one. Then I set the temp to it's lowest possible temps and then wait for temps to drop.
When the temps hit 40 degrees, I transferred my food in my main frig to this one. Temps in the main one was at 45 degrees, why I needed another frig and waiting to get that repaired.
Now the new frig hit 45, same temp as the food. Took a while, but the temps started to drop.
Problem right away, the temps never dropped any lower that 40 in the back. Up front of the frig by the door, it was 41. I wasn't sure what was going on. I check the temp settings, still on high. Freeze seemed cold but do not know the temps in it. Wasn't needed as of yet.
I pulled the frig out from the wall more to give more breathing room to 5 -5 1/2", more than what the manual is asking for 4" space. Nothing above the frig, wire rack shelving on one side. So open air in all directions in a basement that sit around 61-62 degrees in the winter.
Sadly, after giving the frig 5 days to work, I decided to call BB and return it. That was the last thing I wanted to do but needed to be done.
I give BB customer service 5 plus stars. They made it so easy, all the while talking to a nationwide customer service. I had talked to at least 3 people in two days as I decided to order another brand frig from BB which had the best prices around, AGAIN I was shocked by that. So it was a no brainer buy from BB.
Service was outstanding, even with not talking to the local store and figured that was going to be a nightmare.
I'm just saying with the easy of order to delivery, then return and reorder couldn't have been any better. I'll be shopping there first before I look anywhere else.

My first BT headphones ever
on August 13, 2023
Posted by: btb601
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved my wired headphones I had/have. My Great Dane took them out. Both the headphone jack on the compter and the cord.
I can't live without headphones and I've been toying with the idea of getting a pair of BT. I do own two pair of BT earbuds that I had used for my phone calls, but they are buds.
I put these Sonys on and turned on the NC and....WOW!!! I was amazed on how much noise was just in my house/office. I use them mostly for my computer, which I am at 12 plus hours a day. Sound is great, but not as good as my wired headphones and I love not being tethered to my my computer.
They are very comfortable and light weight. I have to take a break now and again from the headphones to let my ears dry out, they get a little hot after awhile. I have gotten use to them now after one month of use.
The app on the phone was easy to use once I nosed around and setup my headphones to my taste.
Battery life is great, but would like more. I do get at least two days worth, if not three. And they charge fast. Took me a minute to figure out how to charge them. The cable Sony provides is a waste of time, it's literally 3" long UCB A to C. So I dug in my collection of electronic junk box and found myself a old phone charger that met the specs needed.
Only problem I had was after an update on the headphones and then an update on the Bluetooth on the computer. The headphones slowly started to do weird stuff and after day of use, they were unusable. So I reset them and also restarted my computer and all has been great since.
I have used them a several phone calls and no one had anything bad to say. Only thing I didn't like, was my sound of my own voice, it sounds muffled to me, not the person on the other side. And while we're talking about phone connection. I love the fact I can be connected to both my computer and phone at the same time. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Now if we can get to three or four things. I had planned to set up my old LED TV with a Bluetooth transmitter and use these.

Well, it works. I can't test it to it's limit, I thought I would need it when I HAD to buy a new graphics card for the Qled TV I bought. But for now I don't that card.
One star gone for price and only bought it because I've had issues in the past with HDMI cables not working right.

Owning this now for 4 months now, I thought I would give a quick review. It's almost prefect, only seen some improvements in my steps being a little generous. I could be doing dishes standing still and it pushes me to my steps goal. I run everything on the watch except GPS unless I need to during a activity, mostly walking and get 18 days. But I do sleep tracking with pulse ox and respiration.
And I think it's easier than my Garmin Instinct watch I had since it came out.

I've had mostly GE 100 watts in the same flavor of white and wanted some bulbs that were not at bright. I put these in lamps or bathroom shower light were I don't need the sun. So far they are working great. If they last as well as the 100 watters, they will work out great. And got them at a markdown price.

It does what they say

Not sure how great this thing works. I use to monitors for everyday use. One in for the main computer, an Acer XB280HK 4k with DP connection only. The other is a computer that runs my security software and cams, it's an LG 273A33 1080P with HDMI. And that's the I tried the DEX out with. Also the phone I’m using is a Note 9. I know I did not need the DeX Pad to connect to a computer, as I could just use Samsung’s usb c to hdmi cable, but I did need this if I wanted to hookup my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
At first, I could not get it to work and was puzzled to why it was not. The instructions are OK but lacking. I thought for a while and read the instructions again. It notes to only use the HDMI cable supplied in the package. I did not know it was included, so good surprise there. Anyway, I could not think of anything else I could do, except try another HDMI cable. So I put my computer to sleep and pulled the cable and put it on the DeX. And boom, we had life off.
It does what it supposed to, putting your phone on a larger screen. I did not play with it long as it was in an odd spot to work with.
I never like using the internet browsers the phone comes with. Just not a fan at all browsing using the phone. I’m picky when it comes to browsers, so I download the Microsoft Edge browser from the lGoogle Play Store along with Chrome.
It's works like intended but I’m still being picky, I'm old, and I find it hard to do everything on a cell phone like the younger generation. I can do it, just don't want to. I'm trying to save some coin and if I can get use to using the DeX Pad, meaning using the cell phone for everything, I can stop paying for a landline, internet, and possibly my Directv.
Can't say I would do it again even what I had spent but could change if I get use to using it. I used my Bestbuy certificates I had earned, instead of letting them expire. Between the price match off Amazon and the my certificates, I paid very little. But to be fair, I need to use daily for a week or so. And to be completely honest, I don't really need a computer do what I do on the internet which brings me to the end of the review.
I tried Netflix app and it stayed small on the screen and no way to maximize it. So then I went to Netflix using Microsoft Edge and I got it to do full screen. So that’s as a go for me. Also Youtube worked, but not like on the computer, but as full screen goes, that will work for me.
All web browsers that I tried, three in total, ( Chrome, MS and Samsungs I believe) and they all acted like using the cell phone format and not like computer format web wise. That is not surprising, just stating encase someone else did not think of that. For example, my homepage is MSN and have used that format on a computer since MSN was a thing. So using it on a phone feels wrong. Everything is in a list form. Again, cell users thinking I bumped my head, but you have to remember I’m old school trying to adapt.
Only other thing, I had to take off my Otterbox Denfender to get this to work. I knew this going in and I've ordered a Type-C Extender Adapter (10Gbps) USB-C Female to Male so I can leave my Otterbox on the phone. Only thing is, what little time I used the Dex, it was fairly warm / hot to the touch and I'm not sure leaving in the Otterbox would be a wise move. And from looking at it, any case might get in the way of connecting it to the DeX. You’ll have to read up on reviews to find that one out.

Take grooming to the next level with this Panasonic nose, ear and hair trimmer. Its dual-edged stainless steel blades clip eyebrows and mustaches neatly, and it's completely immersible for use in the shower or at the sink. This portable Panasonic nose, ear and hair trimmer is battery-powered, so it's great for travel.

Not so great
February 24, 2022
Yeah, mine won't charge wireless. It says it charging but the percentage does not change while on the charger. Then you got to plug in the USB cable and you fight that right off the bat. The case opening for the usb is not centered, it's tight to one edge of the usb.
Other issue, the case is loose on the side of the control buttons, could really use another lock tab by the buttons. I think if it took a hard fall, I'm not sure what would happen???

1) ASUS DO NOT MENTION OS VERSION. UNSTABLE OS SOFTWARE , NEVER UPDATE IT FEATURES. DO NOT WORK. FOR INSTANCE FTP HAS BUG, AICLOUD HAS BUG AND PARENTAL CONTROL AS WELL AND OTHERS FEATURES TOO.
2) NEVER MENTION USB SPEED. SUPER SLOW USB SPEED DATA TRANSFER. ALL ROUTERS HAVE UNSTABLE WIFI CONNECTION. 2GB OF MEMORY WOW SUPER LOW ON MEMORY AND MEMORY SPEED SHOULD BE DD5. YOU WILL ALWAYS SUFFER FROM ROUTER AUTO REBOOTING AND DISCONNECTION. REMEMBER WHEN A COMPUTER IS LOW ON MEMORY IT WILL FREEZE AND DO OTHE BAD BEHAVIOR THE SAME HAPPENS WITH ALL THESE WIFI ROUTERS. THEY ARE CHEATING ON THE CUSTOMER FOR SELLING SOMETHING THAT DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. IF YOU WANT TRY IT AND YOU WILL SEE.
3) CUSTOMER SUPPORT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. YOU ARE ON YOUR ON.
4) NEED BETTER SECURITY LIKE DEVICE CONNECTION 2 FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Mine also has a memory issue. It doesn't take much to choke it out. Router locks up for a living if I try to change ANYTHING.It does so on both the android app and a web browser on a computer. And then the changes you made don't take or show. I don't have many things connected, 13 in total and not all at one time. You start blocking internet to certain devices like wifi security cams and wire POE ip cams. There goes you memory. Lot of money for the show but no performance. Is it fast, sure, but don't think you gonna use all the options that it offers because it CAN'T DO IT.
Lately, I'm have speed issues and I have Starlink and it's probably that but I wonder if it's not the this router.
I bought it from Asus online and wish I had sent it back. It's not worth half of what I paid for it. I just want it to work, is that to much to ask for?

The EZVIZ C4W 1080p Outdoor Smart Home Turret Camera professionally and reliably safeguards outdoor areas of your home or small business with -defense, extended night vision, two-way talk, IP67 moisture and dust resistance, and more.
 

Hello I would like to make sure that this Ezviz c4w - 1080p Smart Home Turret Camera can be used outdoor, and will rotate ( tilt, pan ), and zoom, remotely from my androids phone and tablet, with the Ezviz app of course, this is correct, right ?.

You can google the this cam and see a review on Youtube. As for the conflicting spec listed on here. No, the cam does not move, it is stationary. You can adjust the cam to point where you need it when you install it. Now the app might let you move into an area in the pic itself, again the cam doesn't move. It says indoor on this listing in the specs, but also says it's waterproof and dust proof. But I wouldn't hold my breath, who knows??? And it's in the outdoor cams section here on BB. I've used Amcrest and still have some in use, but BB doesn't sale them, bummer. They are decent affordable turret cameras. But any PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom), is going to add cost.
Also in the one review, they mention the POE (Power Over Ethernet) did not work. This cam does not have POE for any other people wondering.
