Highly recommend for active use

Excellent earbuds for working out. These are comfortable and stable in your ear, effectively blocking out distractions at the gym and delivering a premium sound. Because they are so secure in my ear, my only negative feedback would be that they may be a bit difficult to take in and out of your ear regularly if you're looking for something to use intermittently. These stay in my ear much better than any other earbuds I've used, including my set of AirPod Pros which fall out of my ears extremely easily.

Top notch TV
on January 14, 2022
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture quality of this TV is excellent. I don't think it can be beat. The design is also incredibly sleek and very pleasing to look at.
The reason I give four stars instead of five is relatively minor, and that is there were a few hiccups after plugging it in for set up. The TV prompts you to use either the remote or the LG app on your phone to proceed with setup. I already have the LG app and another LG TV so opted for that method out of convenience, but kept getting error messages on the app that wouldn't let me complete the process. It would say it scan the QR code that was on the TV, but then the app would say that the QR code was invalid. Went the old fashioned way and just clicked through the prompts with my remote, and afterwards the app worked. Just expected a 100% seamless experience given this is one of the best TVs you can buy.

Super fast and reliable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this router as a replacement for my Netgear R700 which kept dropping the wifi connection. I've had this TP-Link router up and running for a few weeks now and have not had to manually reset my connection once! Set up was relatively easy and I am getting speeds as fast as what I am paying my ISP for. What a relief to finally have a fast, reliable product that is also now at a new low price!

Must have for Xbox users

Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
Product is pretty self explanatory, if you are an Xbox gamer and play games online, this is a must have. The code was emailed to me only minutes after purchasing, at which point I instantly redeemed it on my Xbox for another year of access with no issues.

Best headphones
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
After almost two years since purchase, these are still the best earbud style headphones I've ever used, especially for working out. You just can't compete with Bose quality. Music sounds rich, battery life gets me through many 1-2 hour workouts (I probably charge them once per week, max), and they seem to be completely water resistant. I've never had an issue with the earbuds falling out either. Even compared to some of the newer wireless headphones that don't have a wire connecting the ear buds, I would still probably opt for this model. Could not recommend more highly.

Meet the Nest Thermostat, the smart thermostat with a cozy price. It can turn itself down to save energy when you leave the house. You can control it from anywhere with the Google Home app. It looks after your heating and cooling system. And it~s easy to install yourself, usually in 30 minutes or less.

Better than normal programmable thermostat!
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
I do not have central air conditioning and as such, did not feel that I needed the more advanced features that the learning Nest model offers. So I purchased this model instead and am very satisfied with it so far. It's extremely intuitive to use and I love being able to not only actually program my heat (I had an old mechanical thermostat before this), but also to be able to control it remotely in case I'm gone for extended period of time.
A word of advice for anyone looking to install this themselves, make sure to take full advantage of Google's compatibility checker ahead of time and learn the wiring of your HVAC/current thermostat first. I needed to have a C wire in order to use this product and while this wire was in the wall with the other two wires that my old thermostat used, the C wire wasn't actually connected to anything. I had to connect it to the new thermostat but also find it on the other end and connect it to the terminal on my boiler. If the wire didn't already exist in the wall, I believe I would've needed to run new wiring in order to use this product. The point being, setup was actually pretty easy but required me to have a deeper understanding of the wiring in my house first.
The only potential con I would point out is the mirrored surface of the thermostat. If you plan to install this on a wall that gets a lot of lot or is otherwise very visible from other parts of the room, the reflective surface may bother you.
Also, make sure to check with your local utility company as they may offer a rebate on this and/or other models! I was able to save an additional ~$30 by submitting for a rebate after purchasing.

High quality product provides peace of mind
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very high quality product. The swivel outlets are a great way to hide bulky transformers and the USB ports are an amazing convenience. If you know anything about surge protection, you'd realize that this product offers more protection than any of the competing products I've seen. At the same time, the price of this product definitely reflects that, with this product being at least $10-$20 more expensive than other similar models (that admittedly offer less but still good protection).
The only potential negative I would point out is that I was not able to use this product in single outlet receptacle. I believe you need to plug it into a receptacle that has at least two, three-pronged outlets because there is plastic prong on the back of this product that plugs into the ground slot of the second outlet for stability.
Overall, if you want the best protection available without having to worry about your electronics getting fried in a surge (and you like the sleek black look of this product) you probably won't be disappointed!

Great product, great price

Verified Purchase:Yes
We had a very similar colored blue on our wedding registry elsewhere but I purchased the Ink Blue (a unique color from Best Buy) because it was essentially the same and $100 cheaper here. My wife loves this mixer and as far as I'm concerned, KitchenAid, specifically the Artisan Series, is the best model you can buy. Saving $100 was just icing on the cake!

Good quality but has it's limits
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
For a full motion TV mount, you can't beat the price. However, the arms are SO stiff that with a 65" TV mounted to it, I find it impossible to adjust the angle while safely only pulling/pushing on the edges of the TV. When extended, to get the TV back to almost completely flush with the wall you need to apply a LOT of force to the TV and that is just impossible to do because you obviously can't push on the screen itself. For me, this full motion mount is only as good as a tilt mount. That said, the quality is very high and I have no concerns about my new $1,000 65" TV falling off the wall, it's very sturdy.
If you plan to install this yourself, be aware that the instructions do not specify what size socket wrench you need which was very frustrating. My standard SAE socket set includes 17/32" and 9/16" but I believe this mount required a 14mm socket which is metric, not SAE. A cheap additional purchase but took probably an additional hour or two to install due to the time required to figure the correct size and visit the hardware store to purchase.

Very solid 4K TV with only relatively minor flaws.
on January 14, 2021
Posted by: Andrew
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first 4K TV and as such, I did a lot of research to make sure that this model had all of the modern features. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. I've never had an LG TV before but find their smart TV interface very intuitive. It's extremely easy to add/navigate your favorite streaming services, the remote is super user friendly, and the picture quality is top notch. I've seen some reviews of this model say that the HDR is not as effective as other models but for a non-OLED TV, I think this is the best you can get, and the price also reflects that. If you have $500 more in your budget, sure, go ahead and by the entry level OLED model (at 55", not 65" based on pricing at the time of this review) to get a better picture, but for the price I think this is one of the best 65" 4K TVs you can buy.
Two cons that are worth mentioning. The first is that about a month after I purchased the TV, it went on sale for about $100 cheaper but after two separate attempts to have Best Buy credit me the difference, they were unable to match the price (something about even my original price being a promotion). Obviously I was a bit disappointed/surprised that they couldn't do anything about it (ironically, I was entitled to completely return the TV and reorder at the lower price, I just don't have a car big enough to take a 65" TV back to the store myself). The second con is that if you are not using any traditional cable provider or antennae to get channels, there is no way to make the default input a built in app like YouTube TV. Every time you turn the TV on, it defaults to the actual TV input where there is obviously no signal and surprisingly, I don't think there is a way to change this. The only solution that was remotely helpful was going into the settings and having it stop trying to find channels, which at least prevents the TV from projected static and a blaring white noise. Every time I turn it on, I still have to then manually select what streaming service to launch. It would be great if you could specify that you always want it to open to a specific app.

What is the VESA wall mount standard? LG website says 300 x 300 but description here says 300 x 200.
