Quality material. Great value (if you get discount). Doesn't match value for its original price.
Quick and easy assembly.
I don't like that the headrest cannot be adjusted much.

This soundbar is best soundbar I have compared for the price. It is best sounding one. I know Sony hta9, and 7000, but at $1300 price point those need to come down in price or otherwise need to be extremely good comparatively.
The thing I may like to change about this soundbar is, 1) woofer is weak, 2) remote is very limited in options.
The setup instruction came in box, but I didn't need any because everything was already connected/paired. Super easy.
I suggest to get stand for the rear speaker. That will make a lot of difference.

It's just been one day since it is installed, but it already pleased me. I owned a GE washer before it, and comparatively this one is very silent. The alarm sound on it, many have complained about it, for me alarm is fine and I have no complaints with it.
I think, good thing about technology in it is its minimalist design. A knob, a display, few touch buttons, that's it.
I am yet to find a reason to use smart feature on this machine. I can't figure out. I mean, its a washer and I need to put clothes in it, so why I use my cell (unless in rare situation).
I will keep my review live, and come back if I see any issue.
Smart or not, it is working as designed. and with very expensive pedestal it looks much better.

I made an appointment and bestbuy showed up on time. I found multiple reminders, updates throughout the process. The installation was done very cleanly and without any much noise. The appliances were delivered in good shape with no visible damage. Both of y washer and dryer working as good as possibly can. Thank you best buy :)
Be careful with the appointment, due to unforeseen issues, it may get canceled and need rescheduling. It adds frustration to the customer, but please do know that it is not by choice. There are supply, labour and transportation challenges and we can't know everything in advance.

I like the setup. I like it’s feature. I like how easy it is to use it. Problem is that, my cilantro didn’t germinate in it. I don’t understand why. A setup like this should be fail proof, but it didn’t work. You get seed guarantee, that only covers seed, but what about the time, hope and sadness of wasting weeks in anticipation :(
I will try with few other seeds, and update you all if it works for something else.

Good Toolkit, overall Poor Value

No doubt the product quality is excellent. It is great toolbox and I hope to use it for many years.
now you wonder, why did I rate it one star.... because look one is poor, and two is fair, and this product doesn't even sound fair at the price of nearly 75$
If money is your least concern, or you have emergency, go for it!!!
It is a joke that iFixit can charge so much for so little, and with so many 5 star reviews. It is not even Apple of toolset, coz you can buy better toolkit for half the price.

This is an awesome movie. Great actors, very convincingly done narrative. Reviewers are doing injustice by not giving it its fair chance.
I just watched it this evening with whole family and everyone equally enjoyed. I had to come and review it so that others can have the same fun. This movie in fact is perfect for a second time or even a third time watch.
Why I gave 5 stars? I gave it 5 based on value it returned for the price I paid :) no cheap graphics in the movie, great action, engaging story line, the depiction of noise(no spoiler here) is awesome. lol, I also got very low expectation after few of the reviews. In my opinion, this movie is very much better compare to love and monsters (no story comparison, just based on what people said about it and what I actually felt).
go for it, it's a good movie.
4k Steel-book is very good looking. totally worth the money. The disc worked perfect. Best-buy did awesome job by keeping my order ready for pickup.

It is bad movie, but looks good when you know it.

Very bad choice of steel-book cover. it has nothing to do with story, just looks cool. My disc, didn't work OTB, no scratches but didn't start fine. I cleaned it with a wipe and worked after that.
Movie comments:
How to waste millions, make a really bad movie. Oh yeh, this movie is not at all good for any sensible adult but with kids you may like when you know what to expect from it.
No DCU, several continuity problem and badly executed cliche characters and scenes.
I finally enjoyed it.
This movie really struggle to stand on its own. It is not a bad movie at all. It just disappoints and fall flat on expectations. Story is good, screenplay is fine. Editing is very bad for such a movie. Few opportunities to give movie high points were simply wasted. Looks like pandemic affected this movie a lot, and a product was made just for streaming. I also noticed several continuity problem between DCU, WWI, which make it look mediocre and you question about director's state of mind. Several scenes are mediocre, can't even laugh on how stupid these look on screen.

Nothing noteworthy on a 4K
on August 13, 2019
Posted by: AKTreview
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not a movie review, I have already seen this movie in Imax theater in both 3D and 2D. Movie is no doubt a 5 star.
This review is for the 4k UHD, and I am an average viewer. I didn't hear any good words for the 4k disc. First, now because I have seen this movie at such a grand scale (Imax) the black bars are just overly bothering. This movie definitely deserves a full scale Imax 4k. I don't want to miss out any single inch or second of this movie. And that's not what this disc offers. Sound doesn't create that feeling impact either. To me during many of the scens the image looks softer, specially faces during big assemble shots. Yes it is 4k and yes it is upscale from bluray but the softness in the character makes it a distracting watch. I loved what Disney did to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and unfortunately this movie is not even remotely close.
Disney physical media team must do a better job. Not all the movies need a double or triple dip into customer's pockets. Deliver the best you can, 35$ for some crazy plastic and steel is not cheap, so Disney must better up the games. I can understand why media houses are getting rid of physical, so that they can pull plug on my digital anytime. Really disappointing with it. I could have wait for another month for better quality one. If space in disc was an issue, Disney could have release it as a two disc set. LOTR did that years ago and it was great transfer with those day's standards.
And seriously no 3D? Disney, it may not bother you, but I am seriously feeling cheated as a customer. I don't ask for a 3D with each release, but there are time when you should give the best you can to customer.
People, you are going to buy this disc anyways. You are not going to think if it is value for money or not. So don't take my words seriously. Go buy it, have fun. The movie itself is great and will not let you down. I guess that's what Disney thinks as well.

Everything I wanted!
By Luis from Los Angeles
I am super happy with this purchase. For quite a while I was looking for a TV that not only had great picture quality but also kept things simple for me. I used to have to plug external devices into the soundbar first in order to get Dolby atmos and more. Now I can use the TV apps that are installed on the TV like Netflix, vudu and more and it will play Dolby atmos on my hw-950 due to it having HDMI 2.1 connection. 1 chord- that's it!!! I also have an xbox one x that I can plug straight to the TV and it lit up all the green check marks when I went to 4k details. The upscaling is just amazing for this TV! I'm so happy I got this over the LG C8 or the C9 which would have been the same price because the picture quality is as good but no burn ins.

Not sure what you mean
April 17, 2019
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Glad you love your new TV.
But still, I have no idea if you reviewed the same tv or not. First of all, this Samsung TV is 8K so not a 4k, so if you could add little bit more on your review that will really be helpful. Second, the price difference between LG C8/C9 and this TV is almost double. The C8 and C9 are available for nearly 3k and this one is 7k. It will not be compare it to those starting level OLED TVs. BTW for the information of you and all, the apps you mentioned are available on all the smart tvs, even 500$ roku tv will be having it. So kindly update your review with real spec so that it can be very helpful for the users who would like to choose this one over a 4k tv.

Best headphones on the market*
By EkkoNexus
So I had the XM3s and I loved those headphones. Used them every day while I was on the computer. Only reason why I upgraded was because I had the protection plan, so doing a swap was no problem. Got these boys on and the sound is great, the new proximity sensor is an amazing add, the ANC is the best, Bluetooth 5.0 is a must nowadays, connecting to two devices is so handy, the Type-C charging is top tier, and having access to either Google Assistant or Alexa is beyond convenient. The reason why there's an asterisk in my title is because of comfort. Because of my weirdly shaped head and ears, these headphones are not comfortable. And I only had them on for the evening. I can't see myself using these guys from the morning until three in the morning. No way. It's a shame, too. I was extremely excited to own these but alas, they are not meant for me. Comfort aside, they're still stellar headphones. Nothing beats the ANC

Hi Thanks for your review... Did you felt same discomfort with XM3 too? if not, it is wonder that why these will be an issue when everyone suggested that there are no design changes between XM3 to XM4.

A little confused about “upscaling”, streaming, 4k Ultra HD, etc… I’m looking for a Blu Ray player that plays 4K Blu-ray Discs. I have a 4k Blu-ray movie that will not play on a regular DVD player. Will this player play it? Can you explain upscaling etc.

I understand your question. This one cannot play 4k UHD Disc. It can play normal Full HD Bluray Disc and try to upscale it to 4k.
For the 4K disc player, minimum I suggest you need to go to DP-UB820-K (Panasonic 4k Disc Player), there's few from Sony too but if you look at forum Panasonic seems to have less issues. Or you go Xbox Series X (which I use), or maybe latest Playstation 5 with Disc Player (not the digital edition).

Imagine having the magic of a movie theater right in your home and feeling totally immersed in every scene. With the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 with Dolby Atmos, you can. Custom-engineered upfiring dipole speakers work with advanced Bose technologies to make it seem like your room is filled with sound from every direction. Even overhead. It~s like you can almost feel the rain coming down during your favorite movie. For content that isn~t encoded in Dolby Atmos, proprietary TrueSpace spatial processing intelligently analyzes signals other than Dolby Atmos, like stereo or 5.1 surround sound system, and upmixes them to create an immersive 7-channel speaker wireless surround sound experience with an impressive sense of height in the soundscape. The result is enveloping sound with convincing realism no matter what you watch with this TV soundbar. But it~s not just the sound quality that you~ll notice with this Dolby Atmos soundbar. Material quality. Construction. Finishes. Controls. Every detail was obsessed over to produce a Bose premium soundbar that looks as beautiful as it sounds. And with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in, you can create a connected home theater system. This Bluetooth soundbar helps you control all your entertainment, manage your day, and get information ~ using just your voice.
 

Can you get pure Dolby Atmos thru ARC? I can't seem to get it thru ARC, I doubt optical would have that capability, any ideas?

ARC does not support Atmos.

I will cancel my bose 900 order. I can only enjoy Atmos with a receiver set. With Bose deciding to have a receiver-less model, there's no way I can connect my devices to bose and get 4k output to my tv. what a bummer :(

How do you order old washer removal when ordering online?

I just finished, it is not always free. This service is haul away service, we can always ask or add it to whenever we buy a new one. Nearly every retailer offers it along with delivery/installation. I prefer it for large appliance, because I will never be able to professionally take care of my old appliance.
