Good rugged flexible cable
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are good and rugged while still flexible. The head is smaller than the Native Union cables so if you have a small opening because of your phone case, this works well. My only wish is that Best Buy carried more of these as they always seem to be out of stock and both Android and newer iPhones now use them.

An easy to operate powerhouse.

Verified Purchase:Yes
We've only just begun to use our new blender, but wow, what a beast! We made a dish with dried peppers and it ground that up, no problem. The blade comes up the shaft unlike the blenders of old, so you get a much more thorough blending, with less scraping the sides like older machines. Looking forward to smoothies, which should be no problem.

Economical little travel adapter
on February 24, 2024
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was handy when visiting Portugal and Morocco, and was easy to use. It's nice that the plug prongs retract with the sliding switch on the top so they don't get bent or snagged when packed away. Only funny thing I noticed was that the Australia plug would not come out all the way - you have to make sure to push in the tab on the bottom back of the device (3rd pic) for it to release - just a little fiddly. Also, this is for non-grounded devices (not 3-prong plugs).

Worth it

This charger has the added benefit of being able to replace cables if one gets damaged. We have a cat that eats cords, so this works for my purposes. The body of the charger is a typical large size, and I wish it had an LED to show that it had made a connection.

Get an extended warranty - hardly anything lasts
on August 25, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
While we love our appliances, I have had everyone from my parents who build houses, to our appliance repair person recommend the extended warranties, as appliances hardly last 3 years, and have an overabundance of sensitive gadgetry in the them. I think the extensed warranty at BB was cheaper for 5 years than through L*wes or H*me Depot, so check pricing.

Measure to see if this is long enough
on August 25, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a typical dryer vent hose. No too thin. Had to piece two together to get it out through my basement dryer vent, so you might plan on measuring first. Also, the installers had foil tape to secure the two pieces together, but if this is a self install, consider running to the store to get some.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

Cord is flat straight down off of the head
on August 25, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
This cord is a decent gauge but I wish it was angled off to the side. Too many times, like with my dehumidifier, I have two of these type cables, and I can't plug both into the same receptacle without an extension cord. Would have looked for a different style had I known.

One dryer works, but the other quit.
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
We like the dryer as much as the matching top-load washer, but one of the two we bought stopped working, so the verdict is out on awesome-ness. Also, the app lets you add another washer and dryer, but they are all just called washer or dryer and I can't rename them for each location. Super bonus is, these connect to the cloud, and send me a message wherever I am, so I can turn on Wrinkle Shield from across the country. Make sure you call Best Buy to get the steam hose for the steam cycle, as we did not see this a recommended item. The Best Buy rep provided them for free for us to pick up after the delivery team realized we did not have one and there was not one on the truck. We were told the reason the steam hose does not show up is that it is a generic part.

Liked it so much we bought a 2nd one for the beach
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
Removable agitator is a game changer. Interior size is enormous - like, you may need an extension if you have short arms, to reach the bottom of the washer. We really love the top loaders more than the front loaders, and this is nice. The finish can scratch on the top of the dryer, but the washer glass is amazing and still looks bright and clear (albeit tinted) so you can see your load is processing.

The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan 1TB is a standalone subscription and is separate from the Creative Cloud Photography Plan 20GB.

It's disappointing that Best Buy will not match the manufacturer price of $239.99 and instead lists it at $399.99 (Quite a difference of $160). I would love to buy from my favorite local retailer and get points, etc, but this is hard to swallow. Why?

I do not want the icloud storage and i do not want to be charged for it. so how do i get this deleted?

If you have already accepted it/signed up, then go into the Apple App Store under your ID and you will see all subscriptions, and can cancel from there: Type App Store on the Mac then select your name in the bottom left. Click Account Settings at the top of the screen, then scroll down to the Manage section and select the Manage link beside Subscriptions.

Why can't I get the 5 yr Geek plan on appliances on my Total Tech acct? I either have to pay extra for installation of dishwasher with 5 yr or go thru total tech get free delivery/installation but only 2 yr protection.

I wish I knew why they don't offer it like that, but I compare extended warranty periods from L*wes and H8me Depot and appliance lifetimes (usually 3 years), and find that 5 years is practical. I didn't see the need for a Total Tech/GS membership, so we purchased the 5 year extended warranties on our appliances instead of the recurring monthly membership.

I am comparing the specs on this and the full size gaming version and they seem to be the same outside of an 8GB storage compared to the 16GB storage and the gaming controller, am I correct in this or am I missing something?

Correct. Though you can add an SD card to the smaller unit. The larger unit also gives you more inputs as the newest version of the smaller unit just dropped an input.
