I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues so far. I did use MSI Afterburner to undervolt and reduce the power draw and temps, and it's been running under 50 c even at mid to high ray tracing in Cyberpunk at 1440p and giving 70-90 fps consistently. It could probably even handle more but the game looks great as is. I didnt notice any difference between gaming and silent mode so I just leave it on silent. It is quiet for the most part but every once in awhile there still will be a loud coil whine or fan sound, which I feel like at $850-1000 it should not have. I also would not have bought it if it hadn't gone on sale for $850+tax but I'm happy to have it as I've been preparing to upgrade my VRAM and this fits my needs. I'd also not have to fight with everyone for a super card that has more power draw and more VRAM than I need.
I do want to mention though that the size of this GPU should NOT be underestimated. I watched so many videos when researching which GPU to buy and for some reason it just never clicked for me how big it is. I have a mid-sized ATX case and it just BARELY fit after turning it sideways then shimmying it into place, with 2cm between my front fans and the end of the GPU. The 12 pin adapter that comes with the GPU also does not fit in my case if I try to put the side panel back on. For a GPU this expensive and of this size it's baffling to me that they wouldn't include an angled adapter instead and is one of the reasons I can't rate this 5 stars.

Somehow I missed seeing all the controversy about the more 'natural' screen color tones (as Samsung tries to put it) when I was doing my research and didn't find any of those articles and posts until I already had the phone in my hands and immediately noticed the difference.
If you are coming from a note 20 or s21/22 you will notice immediately that the colors are less saturated, more blue/yellow toned and there is less warmth and vibrancy in red tones overall. It is extremely noticeable in the games I play on my phone and is truly hideous in comparison. Everything looks washed out with a yellow-green/washed out blue tone and doesn't look right, and makes the game art look just straight up ugly even after messing around with vividness and color balancing (even with red turned all the way up and blue/green turned down!). Blacks and gray tones are also not as deep. After doing a ton of research, it seems like Samsung doubled down on this with the s25+ and most other phone manufacturers have done the same thing. They updated the UI with a slider that lets you change the vibrancy, color balance and RGB balance but literally there is BARELY any difference at all between all the settings and no combination of settings will get you anything close to the level of color saturation and red tones that are present on the older phones.
The new color balance is also NOT realistic and 'closer to real life' as they put. This is very obvious just by comparing the product listing for an item online with what gets delivered to your door. The colors are literally inaccurate and wrong, and Samsung doesn't seem to have any interest in fixing it. To them the new screen colors are a 'feature' not a con and it's everyone else who's wrong. I went into the store with the s24+ and compared it to the display s25+ and they are also literally exactly the same, the s25+ just has a brighter screen overall but the color balance and settings are the same (if anything the reds are actually a teeny bit better on the s24+). If my old phone wasn't starting to have issues I would go back to it in a heartbeat and wait a few more years to see if they roll out a model with an actual color balance setting that lets us choose whether we want 'oversaturated' red/color tones or not.
Unfortunately I do need a new phone, and I was able to get this one on clearance for $699. I'm glad I was able to get it on such a big discount because I would definitely be returning it otherwise (even with the bogus $45 restocking fee). The ugly screen issues have been a hard pill to swallow since I notice it literally every time I look at the screen. I get that it's just a color difference but at the end of the day, even $750 is a lot of money for most people. Who wants to spend that much money on a poor quality/poorly designed product, even if there aren't any great alternatives either?!
I will say the phone runs well and fast, battery life is great so far, the operating system doesn't take up too much space (yet) and I'm optimistic that the 256GB of space will last me the next 4-5 years at least. There are not enough upgrades and innovations to the phones they keep releasing every year to justifying upgrading any sooner, and if they dont fix the color tones I likely won't be buying another Samsung phone at all after this. Here's hoping manufacturers actually let the consumer decide what settings look the best in the future.
If you are coming from a pre-s23 Samsung phone that is still working fine and the color saturation is important to you, I don't recommend buying this phone OR the 25+. I recommend waiting as long as possible to see if future models have better color tone and accuracy options. If you dont care about color accuracy then otherwise it performs as you would expect for this price point.

This was one of the easiest router's I've ever had to set up. I thought the design was pretty cool too and not too hideously futuristic. It worked great for the week I used it but I was having so many issues with my cable provider that I ended up switching to fiber and using the free router the new provider provided instead. I ended up returning this but would buy again if I have to buy a router in the future.

I've had to buy three of these in the last three years. They work great for the first 6-8 months but then gradually start having issues with dropping the connection and the LEDs dying. This unacceptable for such an expensive modem advertised as being designed for gaming and high quality internet and hardware.

This has been the most frustrating appliance purchase I have ever made, and it had to be exchanged TWICE. The first one would not complete the final spin after draining the drum and finish the cycle on any setting except Normal Wash, and after installing the second and third units I'm 90% sure it was a return. A much larger amount of water came pouring out of the drain outlet than the second and third one when we removed the orange cap and it didn't come with the box insert in the washer with free samples and the manual like the second and third. The drain hose and manual were just sitting in the bottom of the drum. It was also covered in dirt smudges. The second unit was much louder than both the first and third washer, had a start/pause/cancel button that only canceled the cycle 1/10 times when I held it down for the 3 seconds and required me to unplug the entire thing from the wall to cancel the cycle, and would not get to the Wash cycle when trying to wash with Hot water on several cycle settings.
One of the most frustrating things about the machine and process itself is that the 'manual' is basically just the instructions on how to install it and a separate one page 'quick start' guide that only has details about the Normal Cycle. Neither explains that the washer will not run properly unless you follow their cycle guide settings exactly or how to recalibrate, reset or run diagnostics on the washer so you are forced to search on their website and on Google until you find the right Cycle Guide for your specific washer and the sequence of knobs to turn as you will find several different instructions for the same model, but only one of them will work. The first washer they delivered was putting out an error code for a faulty water level sensor and the second washer put out an error code for a faulty load sensor. The third washer they delivered is quieter than both of the first two (the second one was ATROCIOUS) and fingers crossed SEEMS to be working properly on each of the different cycles as long as the comprehensive cycle guide from Whirlpool's website is followed. All of these extra details and guides should be included with the washer sale and not only offered through download online since the washer can't operate properly without the proper cycle settings, which is NOT explained in the provided guides.
As referenced above the garbage 'Quick Start' guide that is provided does not make it clear that many of the cycles have specific settings you need to follow and the washer will NOT work properly unless you follow them. I was only able to figure this out after spending hours researching online and messing around with all the cycle settings (and wasting a ton of water). You will need to find the more detailed/expanded Cycle guide on Whirlpool's website to see what settings to follow/what setting options are available for each cycle as this information is not provided with the washer manuals. Whirlpool's cycle guide also does not follow the same cycle settings you might be used to doing with other washers and you can't just use whatever combination of settings you want. For example, if your model of Whirlpool washer doesn't have a specifically 'Towels' cycle you'll need to wash them on a Normal Cycle with Heavy Soil level, Hot Water and Deep Fill Water level and turn the dials manually rather than running a Bulky Cycle on Hot water if you want to wash them with Hot water. Sometimes you might be able to get a cycle to run outside of the cycle guide settings but more often than not the load sensor just won't be able to figure it out. Instead it will attempt to fill the drum with water, then after a little while shut off all the lights and drain the water out, then switch back to 'wash' and sit there doing nothing until you reset it and try something else (this happened with both the second and third washer).
Unfortunately there really aren't too many Washer options at this price-point and they all seem to be basically the same in terms of technology and quality as Maytag is actually also owned by Whirlpool too now. They just don't build these well or to last anymore and since the Auto-sensing for water is mandated they all have it. The machine is super loud anytime it has to sense the load size and weight which it will do multiple times throughout a single cycle. This is also what causes a cycle to take so much longer than old non-autosensing machines. I was determined to have a top loader with an agitator again after the front-loading LG monstrosity I inherited from my home's previous owners died and this was one of the only options that didn't have a flat digital display. I will say that otherwise it seems to wash clothes well. Instead of using fabric softener I run a rinse and spin cycle with a little bit of distilled white vinegar with an extra rinse in the washer and dryer balls in the dryer, and my clothes have been coming out clean and soft. Since the water levels never rise to the same levels the old washers did you have to be careful about how much and what is going into the drum, and I've switched to liquid detergent and using the 1-2 tablespoon measuring guide for liquid laundry detergent instead of pods (and what's listed on the laundry detergent bottle) and use a small amount of vinegar in place of fabric softener. Still working out how to get the towels to come out just as soft.
Other Things to Note: - The water level will never fill the drum more than halfway even on Deep Fill, and you can see how high it goes exactly by looking at the water stain ring that forms in the drum. - To cancel a cycle/setting, it says you need to hold down the Start button for 3 seconds. It will take more like 5-8 seconds, and it takes a good bit of force so people that have weak arm or hand strength might struggle with this. - To soak your clothes for awhile, you have to wait (and guess, or keep checking and hitting start again as opening the lid will pause the cycle) for the tub to fill then pause the cycle and make sure to leave the lid closed. If the lid is left open it will drain the tub and cancel the cycle after 10 minutes. - Diagnostic Sequence Order: To access the diagnostic tool that's built into the control board you'll need to: 1. Turn all the knobs/dials so that the notches are pointing upwards (So set to Heavy, Hot, Normal, etc) 2. Turn the cycle dial (which should start at Normal) counter-clockwise once, then clockwise three clicks, counter-clockwise once and then clockwise once. All of the lights except the last one should start blinking. 3. From here you have a few options. You can either turn the dial until only the 'Cycle Complete' light is lit and and press Start once, then turn it left once after all the lights start blinking again to see if it's detected any error codes. If it is detecting any error codes it will light any corresponding cycle lights and flash, and you'll need to look up which code it's putting out and what it means (for example, the Sensing and Fill lights could blink, then Cycle Complete could blink separately, then repeat). If you'd like to try to recalibrate and reset everything to see if that fixes any issues or error codes you're having you can exit and re-enter the diagnostic mode, but instead turn the dial until only the 'Rinse' light is lit. Press start and wait a few minutes for it to run through all its tests and all the lights shut off. From there you can try running a load and see if your issue is resolved.
The customer support team I spoke to on the Live Chat feature on the Best Buy website was very supportive and understanding and I didn't have any issues setting up the exchange of the washer both times I had to go through it. 5 Stars for them.
The delivery teams that delivered and swapped out all the washers were also very polite and professional.
I have a hard time saying either way whether I would recommend this washer, but I hope my review helps save some other customers some sanity if they do purchase.

Shipped with Ontrac so it took forever to arrive, really wish Best Buy would stop using them. For the RAM itself you will only get 4800 mhz unless you enable XMP in the motherboard BIOS, but doing so made my cpu heat up by about 15-20 degrees when playing newer games so I had to disable it, and it's still a little high. There might be a way to tweak the settings in the BIOS to make it work (probably by undervolting the cpu) as I'm assuming the issue has something to do with XMP settings related to the CPU, but it's definitely not beginner friendly and even as someone with mid skills and knowledge I'm struggling and haven't been able change the settings. The lights are as expected and didn't have any problems installing, although they seem a little taller than I expected.

So far it's working well as a good no-frills electric dryer, but I have only owned it for a week. Both the washer and dryer were dirty with black smudges when they arrived but wiped off well with a clorox wipe. The light inside the drum isn't the brighest but it's good enough, and so far it's drying my clothes well. I did a rinse cycle with vinegar in the washer and dryer balls in the dryer (moving away from chemical fabric softeners that always seem to ruin machines) and they were dry after about 45-50 minutes on medium heat and came out surprisingly soft, similar to when I used to use fabric softener.
The dryer alarm is obnoxiously loud so I turned that off, and I have to take off a star for the balancing/adjustment feet not being preattached like the washer. If you look at the instructions they literally expect you to lay it flat on it's back to screw them in. This wasnt possible for us as we did the install ourselves and had the machines dropped into place in the laundry room, which was too small to lay it flat on its back and not possible to get in and out of the room. Instead we had to tilt the dryer back and kind of maneuver underneath it which was super inconvenient. You will need a socket wrench with a one inch socket to fit over the feet and get it done.

The two deliverypeople that dropped off my new washer/dryer were polite and professional. They were careful with bringing them inside my house and fitting them into a smaller space without damaging the walls, and didnt seem annoyed when I showed them were to put them.

Why is the washer getting stuck on 'Wash' and not completing the final spin cycle after draining on every single cycle option (delicates, bulky, etc) except normal? I am following instructions for clothing/linen type per the cycle guide.
