Great small-space printer!
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great small-space printer! Only complaint is the somewhat flimsy paper tray. Otherwise I like the instructions and support on Canon's website, and got the printer set up with no issue, It's also got an app that (while not ideal) does let you take a picture with your phone and send it to the printer, and even allows you to do adjustments. Kind of impressed!

Great printer - be careful of the thin paper tray
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I had some office cabinets built, and they weren't to spec. Out goes the big moose printer and now I start searching for a smaller unit that's still full featured and is brand name. Wah lah. Now this one does have fragile features, namely the printer door and 3 piece contraption that slides out to store paper and receive the prints. This was damaged on this white unit, but Best Buy made it good, I was able to pick up another similar one (in black) at a local store and get back to printing lickety split. Thanks, Best Buy!

No more cat chewing my cables!
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love these cables, because we haven't broken one yet. And the leather cable tie and zebra pattern sealed the deal. I can now easily find my cable, and it's easy to secure; super bonus. Extra super bonus...my cat doesn't want to chew this cable! Note : I like the zebra pattern better than the black, but this was all they had. Zebra makes it easy to spot.

Hot rod approved (and retro CD goodness)
on June 23, 2023
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an old 66 truck and someone had already cut out the dash for the head unit, so I was looking for the cleanest looking replacement I could find. And aside from my dream of all touch screen, single-din, this is it. Be forewarned...most of these name-brand units have a deep menu system, but I'm more about setting and forgetting, and making sure the features I need daily aren't buried 4 menus deep. I think this does a fine job, and would recommend it in your next hotrod build. Having the CD player is also a great throw-back feature.

Setting up a new stereo system in a 1973 Camaro and didn't want to cheap out on the wiring. I had planned to just buy individual pieces per usual, then saw this on an end cap at Best Buy on sale and couldn't refuse. Nice set up and heavy enough to power a few hundred watts. Great find!

Oh, my me. These are 650 watts max where the kickers are 450 watts max, and these are a few bucks less. Been a fan of Kenwood for a number of years and these specs don't disappoint at this price point, especially being a 3-way speaker.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

Great protection, and not a tactile difference in using your screen. Best Buy did a great job installing. This replaced some plastic screen protector Verizon installed and I'm so glad I got this. I forget it's even there. Worth the investment.

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?

With iCloud+, you get the storage you need to keep your photos, documents, and more safe and up to date. Plus great features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support.
 

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.

You're excited to buy a new major appliance ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad~ Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.
 

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.
