Works Flawlessly

We wanted to balance temperature across all the bedrooms upstairs, but also know what the temperature was to determine hot spots, these work great with the new Ecobee 5 to accomplish that.

The Only One For Ring
on August 5, 2019
Posted by: TechMad
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the only smoke alarm that is certified for the Ring Security system. This is fine as this is a great alarm and nice that it also is a CO detector too. I just wish that BestBuy would stock these in the store since they are the only Ring certified alarms. Setup to our Ring Security system was really easy.

Save counter space by installing this LG over-the-range microwave. This microwave has eight auto-cook options to take the guesswork out of cooking times and 10 power levels to prevent overcooking. Take advantage of the removable wire rack in this LG over-the-range microwave to cook multiple dishes at the same time.

This is really a basic microwave, but it went with the appliances, and it does what it's supposed to do, so no complaints.

Since we went with Ring security system in our new house it made no since to use another brand. Be aware you will probably need to upgrade your doorbell transformer if you buy this unit.

Only @ Best Buy When armed, the Ring Alarm Security Kit sends notifications to your phone and tablet whenever doors or windows open and when motion is detected at home. It lets you control your entire home security system with one simple app, and it~s fully customizable to fit any house or apartment. It also has a Panic Mode feature, which allows you to dispatch emergency services right from your Keypad. With optional 24/7 professional monitoring for only $10 a month, whole-home security has never been this affordable.

Best for the price
on August 5, 2019
Posted by: TechMad
Verified Purchase:Yes
You can't really beat the price for what you get. The cost of a security system is really about the monitoring service that supports it, and Ring uses a highly rated service for a very modest price. I don't use my security system as my home automation, so the limits there don't bother me.

What could be better than the largest capacity LG Stainless Steel double oven with the consistent, even browning of LG ProBake Convection? How about the added speed of Infrared Heating technology, which serves up juicy perfection while cutting your cooking time up to 22%?* Want to save even more time? EasyClean provides a simple, three-step, 10-minute cleaning option that will have you out of the kitchen in no time.

Shop for groceries without worrying where to put them with this LG French door refrigerator. A bottom freezer offers ample space and a functional design, and a through-door ice dispenser provides ice with just a touch. This LG French door refrigerator has adjustable shelves to customize your storage, and LED lighting lets you see what's inside.

This refrigerator is nicely arranged. Lots of space. The little shelves in the door with the ice maker are surprisingly more usable then they first appear. It's quiet.

Good but no Wonder Woman

This is a good movie, not outstanding, and if you are looking for female empowerment movie, go watch Wonder Woman, you'll like it more. Not bad, I just was hoping for more.

How Is the Honeywell thermostat T9 comparable to the eccobee Thermostat 4 I have a two story house and 3 thermostat right now. Would I have to replace all three thermostats. Do the extenders take the place of the other thermostats? quote $ to instal
You would need one thermostat per zone. As far as I know, none of the smart thermostats support multiple zones off of the remote sensors. There's no reason they can't, I just don't know of any that support this yet. I had to replace both of mine. Typically you have a thermostat per zone, but you also typically only have one zone per floor, so you might check if your current setup is 2 or three zone. The T9 has some additional limitations that the Ecobee doesn't. I decided to go with the Ecobee because of those features. The Verge gives a good review of the T9 and it's pros/cons.

I have no experience installing thermostats. Is it easy to do and can I do it?
If you have a common wire on your thermostat, anyone can install this. It was drop dead simple. If you don't have a common wire then it's more difficult and you may want help.
It is easy to see if you already have a c-wire connected to your system. Simply remove your current thermostat face from its baseplate and look for the terminal labeled with the letter “c.” If this terminal has a wire attached to it, you have an active “c-wire.”
