The devils in the fine print

Verified Purchase:Yes
Every time we go to use this there is some reason for an additional charge. It’s frustrating and coupled with the subpar contractors they send for appliance repairs (one issue has required 4 visits, we were charged a fee each time) there really isno reason i can see to renew after this cycle. At a certain point in time, 6 or so years ago it was somewhat worth the cost. But once again enshttification has struck and you will receive an inferior product for an ever increasing subscription price.

Lots of power, but...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lots of power, but... zero linux support. The implementation of their Intel Optimus GFX switching causes continual failure when attempting to boot any OS that isn't Win11.
No Calyx, no Mint, no Cachy, no Bazzite, nothing.
Was hoping to have a 5080 laptop ready for SteamOS but ASUS dropped the ball here.

Samsung's 32" Odyssey OLED G8 Gaming Monitor brings content to life with 4K UHD OLED. Images shine with 250 nits of brightness and a wider spectrum of colors, shades, and contrasts. 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms response time (GtG) allow near-instant response time to stay ahead of the competition, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro eliminates screen lag and image tears. The new OLED Safeguard+ ~ including Dynamic Cooling & Thermal Modulation systems ~ helps prevent burn-in. OLED Glare-free technology significantly reduces glare, and the Dynamic Black Equalizer analyzes and adjusts sharpness, saturation, and black details. Gaming Hub provides instant access to streaming platforms and gaming consoles, or you can watch your favorite shows with Smart TV apps. The sleek metal design with heightadjustable screen that swivels and tilts for total gaming comfort, and the Easy Setup Stand enables installation of the monitor with no tools or screws. 3-Year warranty.

Fantastic Display, abysmal monitor.
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: reviewyou
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have never been more disappointed with a purchase than this monitor. The picture is fantastic, the ports are on par with the other top brands. But the interface is utter trash. It forgets devices all the time, constantly popups up with samsungs garbage overlays on boot, defaults to the smart tv home screen and has a default timeout of 60 seconds when switching inputs before powering off.
All of these issues have led to me owning a thousand dollar monitor that I don't want to use. Every time I go to power it on I have a sense of dread over what fresh hell I'm going to experience just trying to get an image displayed on the screen. Will it place the display port 2 device on the input quick menu? Will it remember my work device was plugged in to hdmi 1? Will it decide I'd rather see advertisements for appletv shows? Who knows!?!
More often than not, I fall back on the secondary Dell that is on the dual arm mount next to this one. This monitor is nothing but an anxiety attack wrapped in 240hz.
Again, this is a great display panel but you can find identical panels on the Alienware and ASUS OLED's, unless you really want a barely functioning monitor full of bloated, useless garbage and an interface that is pure trash, go with one of those.
Samsung has dropped the ball so hard here I don't know that I'll ever even consider another monitor from them.

Dyson engineers and research concluded that to clean an entire room properly, you need to sense pollution events automatically; capture ultrafine pollutants; and project cleaner air around the room using Air Multiplier technology. The Dyson purifying heater + fan is designed and tested to do all of this**

Refurbished not worth the savings
on December 26, 2023
Posted by: reviewyou
Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased 2 of these refurbished units and both failed with the exclamation point error within a month. This seems to be a common issue with this model and requires either shipping to Dyson for repair (for a fee of $150) or driving it to an authorized repair center (generally only a few per state). Considering the cost of these units, even refurbished, this is not a great deal. Highly recommend against them. Purchase new or an alternate model.

Incredible next entry in the Evil Dead series. Manages to reframe the story in a new environment with a new cast but still keep the beats of the original. The pace is non stop and it features some of the best practical effects of the year.
The 4k transfer is flawless and audio sounded fantastic in 7.1.2.

Adjust the position of this PylePro microphone stand to achieve excellent sound quality while recording. Made with double-braced steel, this stand is durable and provides long-lasting performance, and the table clamp design lets you mount it almost anywhere. This PylePro microphone stand tilts and extends, so you can change positions while recording to stay comfortable.

Clamps strip easily and arm is too weak to support a Yeti despite other reviews. More effort to return than scrap.

The PNY CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD is an excellent choice for an NVMe upgrade from a SATA based solid state drive (SSD) or hard traditional hard drive in an NVMe enabled desktop or laptop computer. The CS1030 drive is designed to be an upgrade from conventional SATA based storage to take advantage of the high bandwidth of the NVMe interface to help realize faster boot times, quicker application launches, and better overall system performance. Do more in less time with NVMe; boot up, power down, and load applications up to 4 times faster than with SATA based storage. With no moving parts, the PNY CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD is highly durable, less likely to fail, and supports a 5 year warranty.

The Insignia Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off produces up to 19 lbs.* of ice per day and stores up to 1.5 lbs. It creates ice every 6 to 13 minutes and has two cube size options. It has a large 2.1-quart water tank that recycles melted ice, so you can refill it less often. An electronic control panel with indicator lights make this portable ice maker easy to operate.
 

Does distilled water have to be used with this product?

It is not a requirement but recommended and you certainly should.

Instructions say to use "drinking water" with this unit. Please define "drinking water" in the context of using this machine. Will regular tap water suffice or does the water need to be better filtered (IE using a Brita filter or bottled water).

Using tap water can wildly vary depending on where you live. Some is potable and pretty safe, other places have water that is too toxic to drink.
Consider that any impurities in the source water will be present in the cubes. We have decent tap water where this is primarily used but still put filtered water through the machine. It'll lower the chance of impurities creating mold or other toxic reactions in your ice maker.
Manual recommends distilled water as well.
