Easy to hook up but won’t pull in ota channels as promised. I’m in middle Massachusetts and have tried window mounting this thing, pointing it toward Boston and everything else I could think of.

Full featured turntable for a low price
on April 23, 2021
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
This turntable has most features that you want at about the lowest price. Bluetooth is a real bonus as most folks have bluetooth speaker they can use, if not planning to use this with an amp/receiver. It plays 33 and 45 which cover most records. I think it would be a rare occasion where you would run into a 72 rpm record. It also has two selectable record sizes. Front controls are automatic (auto start and stop) are easily accessible, but the spin speed and size controls are under the lid and all controls execpt bluetooth are not lit. Also, curiously, the line in and power buttons are on the rear, but for this price, I can forgive a few eccentricities. Also comes with a built in needle, just no tone arm weight control adjustment.

Slow start up - ok tv
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tv was a good price, but starts up slowly. Remote is also odd as it had a rounded back so it wobbles when you sit it down. Was missing some screws for the base as well. For an economy tv it is ok, but i think I would go with Visio next time.

Bring together your analog and digital music collection with this 2-channel Sony receiver. Its phono input lets you hook up a record player directly, and its Bluetooth capability allows convenient wireless streaming from compatible devices. This Sony receiver has a built-in power amplifier for clear, distortion-free sound, and the rigid chassis minimizes vibration.

Refurbished - Would not turn on
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: smartjaw
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the highest rated receiver, so I thought I'd get a little bit of a bargain by getting it refurbished. Instead it came with a dent in the top and would not power on. Going to buy new next time.

Much better than Roku sticks

This was a little more than I expected to pay but the performance is great. Much better than Roku and Fire sticks. Dropped cable and added YouTube TV and Hulu and now I get more channels for less money.

Really loved but fell off network
on April 17, 2019
Posted by: smartjaw
from Worcester, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really loved this system. The cameras can be indoor or outdoor, and there’s even an adapter to put it up against glass inside to minimize reflection. But the cameras kept falling off the network, and when I was remote, I could not restart them. Hoping they improve these cameras - would be willing to buy again if they fixed this network issue.

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.
