Worth it if you like to shop at Best Buy
on May 17, 2024
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are a constant Best Buy shopaholic like me, this membership is a no-brainer. Probably not worth it if you only shop a few times a year. I have saved quite a bit of money since and the free two-day shipping is a nice benefit along with the 'exclusive' discounts.

Fire TV with best resolution for picture size
on May 21, 2023
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the rare options to get a 24 inch TV with 1080p resolution - good picture, fast loading of smart apps. Since this is a Fire TV, it helps if you have an Amazon account to fully utilize it's features.

With his wife requiring a six-figure surgery, veteran William Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) saw no other out than to join his career criminal adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) on a brazen bank heist. When the job went sideways, they opted to carjack an ambulance for escape-and found unwilling passengers in an EMT (Eiza Gonzalez) and the very cop they wounded. Michael Bay's nail-biting redo of a 2005 Danish thriller co-stars Garret Dillahunt, A Martinez, Devan Long. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Great system - subscription recommended
on July 13, 2022
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Easy out of the box setup using phone app to connect to your home wi-fi. $25/month subscription fee allows for remote viewing and professional monitoring with ability to record and review video footage. Not as useful if you don't want to sign up for a monitoring plan - features are limited. Review carefully the available plans and confirm you want to sign up - as other reviewers have stated, there are other systems that offer different levels of price/service depending on your needs.

Easy fun game
on September 4, 2021
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fun family game for all ages. PVC pipe and fittings very thin but seem to be rugged enough for the game set, I recommend you use a brick or something to help keep in place. Easy to set up and take down for storage. Find it on sale - the list price is way too expensive for what you get.

Love this phone
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great phone available at $599 price due to introduction of the 9 series. No wireless charging. Not expandable via SD card. No headphone jack. Initially thought these things were important but with the Warp Speed charger, 256MB memory, and purchase of an $10 headphone adapter, not so much. Easy file transfer from old phone, screen protector included, Android 11 out of the box. One Plus doesn't seem to add all of the bloatware other manufacturers are known for with their Oxygen OS interface. Most reviews knock the cameras on this phone, but I don't care about that so much, I just want the phone to be easy to use and fast.

Now this is how a studio should reissue movie classics in 4K. Excellent remastering of picture and sound. There have been some complaints about the cardboard sleeve packaging but overall a great addition to anyone's 4K collection!

The spec list says this requires 240 volt power. Not common in the US except for Dryer, Stoves & Water Heaters. Does a converter come with this to use in US homes?

The US model comes with a standard 3-prong 120v plug and does not require 240v.

I would like to know if this phone is water resistant or not. Please give me an answer soon because I am in the market for a new phone.

For some reason, the T-Mobile variant has an IP rating, but the unlocked phone does not have the rating in the specifications. I think it is safe to say that both phones are of similar construction and the unlocked version is the same. Not sure why OnePlus elects to not publish this spec for the unlocked model. I still believe this phone is a great value at the reduced $599 price.

This phone only works on T-Mobile for 5G Network? What's about Verizon? 8T 5G built for 5G, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset powered by an octa-core CPU. *5G service only available on T-Mobile Thank you

Go to the OnePlus website and find the user forum for the 8T - there is plenty of Verizon discussion there. I have it on T-Mobile and it worked fine.

the overview states this have expandable storage micro sd card slot, the specs says no expandable media card.. which is correct? does it have micro sd card slot?

The phone does NOT have an option to install additional storage via a Micro SD card. The SIM tray supports dual SIM's if you need that feature for international travel.

Does the phone have ip rating? Wireless charging? Thanks!

The T-Mobile version shows an IP68 rating, for some reason OnePlus has elected not to include this rating in the specs for the unlocked version. The phone does not support wireless charging but the included Warp 65 watt charger will bring the battery from zero to 100 percent in about 40 minutes.

Feel the Power of our Turbo Force~ Heater, engineered to deliver iconic Turbo Force~ circulation and powerful heat, on demand! Electronic controls with 2 heat levels and a fan-only setting and an adjustable thermostat are designed to quickly provide warmth AND heated air circulation when and how you need it. There are 4 timer options, three customizable oscillation selections for personal area up to whole room heating. The optional feature of SafeGuard ~ Auto Shut-Off will automatically turn the heater off after 8 hours of use for peace of mind. Enhanced safety features allow for peace of mind, while a pivoting head and oscillation function provide flexibility, so that you can personalize your comfort in any season.
 

Can this heater be used in a travel trailer?

At the high heat setting 1500 watts it draws about 12 amps. Depending on the capacity of your electrical system you will have to be careful about overloading the circuit it uses with other electric appliances along with knowing the amperage of the supply to your RV. For example if you were driveway camping on a 15 amp circuit this one heater would use most of your available amps and could cause an overheated extension cord if combined with another high wattage device running at the same time.
