This add-on sliding oven rack was a suggested accessory for our GE Profile Double Oven.
It was ordered at the request of my wife.
It did not fit the width of the GE Profile Double Oven and it was returned for a full refund.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.

The espresso bar of my dreams has arrived!
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
At $2K one would certainly expect an espresso machine that does it all and I believe that would be a fairly accurate description of the Breville Oracle Jet.
This is the perfect machine for all levels of home baristas!
Upon setup and power-on, it walks the user through dialing in the grind settings to obtain the perfectly timed shot for the very best espresso experience.
Too course a grind, and it brews too quickly resulting in a flat tasting, under extracted sour espresso.
Too fine of a grind will result in a slow brew and a harsh , bitter, overly extracted espresso.
With the Oracle's brewing guidance, it keeps track of the pre-infusion time and overall brew time, then it suggests either a finer or courser grind to dial in the optimal shot of espresso!
This is a single boiler system, so extraction of espresso and frothing of milk/cream must be done separately and can be fully automated with one step following the next once the chosen recipe is executed. I prefer my milk froth to settle a bit, so I override the order and execute that step first, followed by the espresso brewing.
Speaking of recipes this thing is loaded and with a quick firmware update (once connected to Wi-Fi) it brings even more.
Espresso, Americano, latte, cappuccino, flat white, the list goes on and on. It even allows for cold brewing of many, lengthening out water to coffee exposure to compensate for the lower temperature water!
This is easy enough for my daughter & wife to use, however both are still intimidated by it (I'm working on getting them in on the fun).
It grinds, tamps, brews and froths as automatically as one would want. The only thing for the home barista to do is to select the recipe, ensure that the hopper has beans, the water tank is full, and that they move the 58mm portafilter from the grinder/tamper to the brew head!
We have used this almost daily since unboxing it two weeks ago.
It's expensive, but if one is to build their dream (non professional level) espresso bar, it's the perfect place to start!

Great coffee is all about precision~the right temperature, timing, and technique. For pour-over lovers, the process is part of the joy, but if you~re after barista-quality results without the learning curve, Fellow~s Aiden Precision Coffee Maker has you covered. It combines the art of hand-brewing with the convenience of automation, so every cup is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced~whether you're a purist or just starting your coffee journey.

Forget about connecting to a mesh Wi-Fi network!
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Outstanding batch pour-over coffee with a 10-cup carafe (Fellow defines a cup as 5 ounces).
Connecting to a modern mesh Wi-Fi network is, at best, problematic, making the upgrading of any available firmware (containing fixes and newly added features) also problematic (a chicken or egg scenario).
Brew time for a full carafe is just under nine minutes.
It comes with a large basket for batch brewing and a smaller cone-shaped basket for individual cup brewing.
For those who know coffee and want to be about to dial-in their brewing preferences, they can set water temperature, bloom time, number of water pulses as well as the pause time between pulses.
It is very versatile for pros and has user friendly "guided brew mode" for those who just want their morning caffeine fix.
UnIt's build is rather cheap for the price. I suspect the price of the unit covers the brains and development.

Nice - but short on a couple features

Verified Purchase:Yes
While the companion mobile application supports a timer for each oven, the oven itself has only a single timer available.
One other thing that leaves room for improvement is how the control for the medium/large burner is designed. Turn in one direction for one sized burner, and the other direction for the other sized burner. It's an adjustment that we will get used to

Functional and a nice, adorable upgrade for my technologically challenged mother in-law.

It's nothing fancy, but it just works and will run Windows 11 where her old cheaper laptop was not compatible.

Photoshop Elements was just the ticket when it came to the need of batch processing a number of 50-60 year old slides that I needed to scan, restore and archive. Unfortunately Adobe has moved to a subscription model meaning that this product for which I have paid will cease to function once it's clock runs out. This will be my last time purchasing it.

Easy to install wireless adaptor
on July 2, 2023
Posted by: SpenceJT
This product was harder to unbox than it was to install.
- Plugged it into my 2020 Ford Fusion's USB port
- Paired with my phone's Bluetooth (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra)
- Switched my Ford Sync 3 source to Android Auto and accepted/allowed access to my phone
- Customized the layout of my phone apps (iHeartRadio, YouTube Music, Phone, Waze, etc.)
- Select phone application of choice
- Enjoy wireless entertainment
My only gripe is the short, permanently attached USB cable, and the gel pad (which is not for sticking the dongle to an adapter).
Other than that - I am loving the product so far!

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
 

Planning to upgrade a 75 inch TV to either a 90 or 100 inch projection screen. Leaning toward the 90 inches as I know that the 75 inch lightstrip is rated to be used on 85 inch displays. Any success with photos?

Can you upload 2d and 3d videos from your computer onto the quest in a folder? Can you change viewing options and angles for playback?

Yes you can load videos for playback in virtual theaters. I am unsure about changing angles. I doubt it.

Hey I’m looking at buying a quest but is it worth getting 128 or 64. I’m looking to buy to play with my friend in Texas. So is it possible to play with someone across the country. Thanks for answering.

Memory is not expandable. That said, the apps are not huge, but if you intend to download movies, or (like me) horde a large library of installed apps, it would be advised to spring an extra $100 for double the storage.

Doubling the storage will also give a higher resale value, should a time come in the future where you would consider selling it and upgrading.

When your in a game, do one of the controllers move off into the distance by itself?

No. If you are experiencing this, your headset is losing tracking of your touch controller.

This can be due to ambient lighting overpowering the sensors of the head unit making it difficult for it to see and track the IR emitters from the controllers.

It could also be batteries in the controllers getting weak.

CAN A 6 YEAR OLD FIT IN THE HEAD GEAR ??

This depends on the size of your six year old.

The Oculus Quest is not recommended for children under the age of 13. Add to this, that most six year olds do not understand the concept of value, so any use should be closely supervised so as not to damage a $400+ device.

...also something to be considered is the developing mind of a child, and if it should be exposed to virtual reality experiences at such a young age.

Not judging. Just pointing out things to consider. The decision is yours.

I want to use Quest for my VR Fine Art Painting project. Do I need any additional hardware or software to paint, export and import my projects? Can I use Google Tilt Brush app in 64 GB Quest device? Can I directly upload my artwork to Google Drive/FB.com?

Check out Tilt Brush. It includes a variety of brushes, textures, and allows you to work in a 3 dimensional space, resizing, and moving the art around, zooming in to add detail, rotating it to add color and texture. It is very cool, and there are many videos on YouTube.
