Tough on bad guys. Easy on you.Nest Detect sensors can tell you two things: when a door or window opens or someone's in a room. And with the Nest app, you'll always know what's happening at home.

Great sensors.
on February 1, 2021
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using the Nest Secure alarm system for a few years now and it has been a very simple, easy to use, and cost effective security system for our home. I am disappointed that Google has decided to discontinue the system and am hoping to use this system for a few more years so I am stocking up on sensors while I can for when I eventually move to a bigger home. In the meantime, I hope Best Buy gets some more in stock.

Excellent value / work from home monitor.
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent and reasonably priced monitor. This is probably one of the better values if you are looking at ultrawide monitors (especially if you can find it on sale like I did). Coming from using IPS monitors, the monitor did not look aa vibrant to me but having used this for the last few weeks, it really is a great monitor and everything looks accurate. I did have to go into my Nvidia settings for my RTX 2060 and manually enable Nvidia settings, RGB and full color because my PC originally set color to limited. The curved 35" acreen is very easy to look at and I love the fact that I can now see extra colums on my Excel spreadsheets or vidw two windows side by side like a dual monitor display (I use Windows key + left or right instead of the LG On-Screen Control software, which I find clunky.
The monitor comes with HDMI, Display Port and USB cables and has multiple inputs (I use DisplayPort from a desktop PC and HDMI from a Surface Pro 4). I also have a USB C cable connected to my PC so I can take advantage of the two USB ports on the back. I have a USB 3.0 hub plugged into one of the ports on the back of the monitor and my Logitech mouse receiver plugged into the other. Helps with cable management and keep the desk neat. I do not have a laptop or desktop that supports DP Alt so I could not test the USB C display connection but the USB devices (backup harddrive, Aurender Flow DAC/amp, and mouse) work well.
Speakers - I keep the speaker volume on the display at 50% and it is plenty loud. If you have volume issues, check both the volume on the monitor itself and the Windows volume. They are independent (I keep volume on the monitor at 50 and control Windows volume with my keyboard). Also check the volume of the specific app since that may also be independent. You will not get heart thumping bass or full range reproduction of music but it is sufficient for listening to webcasts which I do for a few hours a week. This has allowed me to save space by getting rid of my amp that I was using to drive bookshelf speakers and further save space. This monitor is clearly geared toward productivity and is great for working from home. I do have separate apeakers that I can plug in if I want to listen to music but tend to use a atreamer for that.
Controls - I loke the joystick used to access settings and find it very intuitive. It is easy to adjust settings and quickly switch inputs or prssets
Why 4 stars? I find the LG On-Screen software to be clunky and LG does not have ANY documentation on its website for this model. I just happened to stumble across the On-Screen Software for another model and gave it a try. I can confirm it does work but it is clunky and I ended up uninstalling it. Also, this monitor would have been a 5 star product if LG had included true PIP support (you cannot split screens to view more than one device at a time, which, for example, would be great to have TV in one window and my work environment on another). It certainly has the inputs but for whatever reason, LG left this feature out (I believe Samsung has a model that can do this).
Highly recommended and I wish I bought this sooner.

Nutribullet RX
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Replaced an older Nutribullet which was no longer working well. Seems to work well but light on accessories compared to our older Nutribullet, which came with 4 different cups, a veriety of lids and two blades. This model only came with one blade. Also, the RX is not compatible with the accessories from other models so I had to throw out all the old parts. If it leaks, make sure you are tightening it all the way (ours did when we first used it but it seems fine now). It is much larger than the other models so make sure it will fit where you want to put it.

Excellent Kindle. The warm light filter is much better for reading at night. Make sure you get a cover for it as it will help with the grip (can be slippery if used while lying down).

The electric kettle that pours as good as it looks! Uniting stunning design with thoughtful features and a simplistic user interface, Fellow~s Stagg EKG packs a powerful punch. Since different coffees and brew methods require different water temperatures, a home brewer needs complete control in order to perfect recipes. Simply press down on Stagg EKG~s dial to turn the kettle on and twist the dial to set your goal temperature. With a 1200 watt quick-heating element and a unique PID sensor system, Stagg EKG~s to-the-degree temperature control lets you select the exact temperature from 135~F to 212~F. The base also has two switches to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as a toggle for HOLD mode to keep your water hot for 60 minutes. To engage the Brew Stopwatch on the high-res LCD screen to time your pour-over, press and hold on the dial. A counterbalanced handle and fluted spout tip make imprecise pouring a thing of the past.

Great Pour Over Coffee kettle
on January 10, 2021
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fantastic looking kettle for bewing great coffee. Orddred around Black Friday and took over a month to ship but it was worth the wait. My old kettle was starting to make the water taste metallic, which this one does not. The diaplay on the base (vs on the actual kettle) and the timer is a nice touch. Also, it is faster than my old kettle and you do not have set the target water temperature every time you turn it on. I also like that it does not beep loudly anytime you touch it or when it is done...the water is just ready when you need it. The pour is also slower than others I have used, which is a good thing for pour over coffee but maybe not for other purpoaes (no complaints here).
My only two complaints:
It holds significantly less than water than my old kettle but fine for 1 - 3 8 oz cups
2. I can hear the spring when I press the power/timer button on the base. This should really not he the case for something at this price point.

Great portable mouse. Works great with my Surface Pro 4 and has good battery life. Very well thought out design. Of course it will not be as comfortable as a full sized mouse but you cannot beat the portability aspect of it. Only wish it worked on all surfaces.

Great OEM cable. Looks like the one that came with my Glaaxy S9 except it has USB C on both ends. It is small and lightweight and I keep this in my backpack to use with a portable Courant Carry power bank on the go. Works great and phone shows it is fast charging when plugged in.

Ultra portable and thoughtful design.
on December 17, 2020
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent bluetooth mouse and has been super convenient for both travel and carrying in my backpack everyday along with my Surface Pro 4. It is not as comfortable as my other mice, which is to be expected given the design, but you can not beat the small size and portability. It is also bluetooth so I don't have to waste a USB port or carry a hub (the Surface Pro 4 only has one USB port). At home, I prefer my Logitech Anywhere mouse but this is my go to for travel. I also like that the top of the mouse can actually be used like a touch scroll wheel with two fingers (note, there is no physical wheel). The mouse just works and I have not had any issues with it. Battery life has been good so far too.

Great SSD drive
on December 17, 2020
Posted by: TK33
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent SSD that has been reliable and provudes an easy encryption solution. It is very compact, small and lightweight and runs very cool (I have two 2TB T7s which seem to run warmer). I carry the T5 with me for work and it works on my desktop PC, Surface and Android phones/tablets. My only regret was not buying a larger drive to begin with.
As for the speeds, while it is not USB 3.1 Gen 2 like the T7, I found the T7 only sustains those higher speeds for smaller file transfers and will come closer to T5 speeds for larger transfers (although T7 is still faster). The T5 is still a good drive today and can be a good value if you can find it on sale for cheaper than the T7 (if the same price then it obviously doesnt make sense to get the T5). Overall, I am still very happy with it.
Note, this uses the older version of the Samsung SSD software and app so if you also have a T7, you will need two different apps to use the encryption feature and get firmware updates.

Are the earbuds magnetically held down, or do they fall out if you turn the case upside down?

Yes. The earbuds are held magnetically in the case and I did not have issues with them falling out of the case. They fit snugly in the case as well, especially with the fins.
