Special effects can't overcome weak story
on April 7, 2020
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4K disc is well presented with great audio and visuals. A decent amount of supplemental material is also included. Unfortunately the fractured storytelling, silly plot devices, and a feeling that J.J. Abrams just tried to do too much with the final episode, makes it an overall disappointment. Still a must own for Star Wars fans.

Best nature series on television
on April 2, 2020
Posted by: RatCityTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have seen other BBC nature documentary features such as Blue Planet or Planet Earth, this is a new series that has the same look with a little geology thrown in. However, in the decade since the release of those series, the technology has improved - making this series a must own for fans and home video buffs. Outstanding 4K picture and sound will make this one of your go-to demo discs for showing off your home theater. Excellent!

A modern interpretation of a design developed in Milan at the end of the 19th century. Woven on specialized Italian machines, the smooth stainless steel mesh wraps fluidly around your wrist. And because it's fully magnetic, the Milanese Loop is infinitely adjustable, ensuring a perfect fit. An additional diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer gives the space black stainless steel its distinctive finish.

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.
