I bought this for a friend with hearing issues. It is really helpful to boost audio levels and improve clarity. I gave it 4 stars, because it is impossible for a 2 piece unit to deliver the sound imaging of the 5 or 6 piece units, but the sound is very clean and excellent quality.

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.

Misses the mark...
on November 18, 2021
Posted by: Rusty
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this would be the answer to my problems...not so much. It does make ice, and rather quickly at that. It seems to work as designed. My problem is that it drops a handful of tiny cubes into a room-temperature basket and continues to make ice. The recently dumped cubes start to melt immediately and it doesn't really ever fill up with viable cubes. My 'work around' is to use it in advance of needing ice at a time that I'm in the room with the unit. As soon as it drops the cubes, I put them into the freezer. So you have to ask yourself, is that better than making a few trays like in the old days????

I bought this for a very 'mature' friend who was bemoaning the fact that his new car no longer has a CD player and hates the radio...so I loaded this stick with his favorite tunes and he's over the moon delighted. The interface in his car makes it so simple to operate, and he's got all his favs in the car with him. Perfect gift!!

Didn't know what to think, but if you like this kind of thing, it was a great movie! I only gave it 4 stars because I bought the 4K because I have atmos, and the atmos was puny to say the least...

Skeptic struggle...
on September 4, 2021
Posted by: Rusty
Verified Purchase:Yes
So....it's difficult to review something that you have no idea if it does what it is supposed to do! You put your phone in, the light goes on - 10 minutes later the light goes off. Phone looks the same, feels the same, smells the same, and it's the same temperature. Phone goes in with or without case, turned on or powered off, charged or charging. So the BIG question is, am I glad I have it - answer YES.

Well, I thought it would be silly and a little bit campy, but I have to admit that it was way better than the fluff that I originally anticipated. Not a great movie, but certainly worth the watch.

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.

By witt
I expected a lot better quality from this player. It has locked up twice in the two evenings I have used it. Can't even cycle off the power without unplugging the unit. Very disappointed. Having to move a 75" TV to reset this unit is a pain. Video quality is great, along with the audio. Maybe its a defective unit. I'll give it a couple of more tries before returning the unit. We have two other SONY unit from WALMART that have worked flawlessly for over three years.

Yes, it will support atmos, you have to make sure that you have the settings right...BD Secondary Output OFF, and Downmix Surround. I had to change these settings in the AUDIO menu, and now my Denon Amp says DOLBY ATMOS when appropriate.

Josh, here's why...
December 30, 2021
Josh, I understand your comment "So... give it the number of stars for what it is, a 2.1 system, not a surround system. If it's a great 2.1 system, give it five stars. If you want a surround system, pony up the bucks!" I agree with your comment, HOWEVER, the 2.1 product description states "provides an increased level of immersion, no matter the content, room size or shape, creating floor-to-ceiling virtualized 3D sound that transforms a sci-fi film into an intergalactic adventure, or music into a live concert". It does not. Hence four stars for falling short of the promised virtualized 3D sound. It does do a great job of boosting audio levels and improve clarity with excellent quality (for the price). Folks need to know if there is a reason to consider the 5.1 when, from the printed description the 2.1 sounds just as enticing. I agree, it is not the same, and that is what I pointed out. My home system is the Denon Denon AVR-8500H 13.2-channel, 11 B&W speakers and 2 JL Audio 750w subs. The system is outstanding in every respect, and delivers more than promised...serious bucks were ponied. I rely on these ratings when I'm trying to decide between models, and my review might help someone with less experience looking for help.

I had the same issue, my Firestick (attached to a Sharp TV) from the bedroom turned on the Insignia Fire TV in the kitchen. I was able to pair the bedroom Firestick to the Sharp TV and it no longer affects the Insignia Fire TV in the kitchen.

From movie night to gaming all-night to music anytime, make everything you do sound even better with a sound system that delivers big with premium features like the immersive audio of DolbyAtmos and Meridian Audio Technology, plus a surround-worthy rear speaker kit.*
As far as the Right & Left rear speaker placement, is it Right & Left as you face them, or Right & Left as you sit on the couch and they are behind you? I have looked at all the instructions and diagrams available, and cannot find clarification.

Control access to your garage with this Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub. It connects to your Wi-Fi router and lets you remotely control guest access for your existing garage door opener via the MyQ app. This Chamberlain MyQ Garage smart hub pairs with devices for seamless integration with lighting and security cameras.
Does the MyQ smart garage hub continue to work with just blue tooth if the wifi goes offline? Or does it require wifi all the time?
It is my opinion that Wifi is required to link the phone app to the MyQ...I was never asked to pair the system to my bluetooth, so I don't think there is a bluetooth connection. There is a nice help page on the Chamberlain website to ask questions, or give them a call to verify. This hasn't happened to me, but I know that in a similar scenario I am unable to see my thermostat settings or adjust home temp on my phone through my Honeywell app if the internet is down.

I have a Craftsman from 2012. I can't get this to pair with it. It has a grey learn button and this color is not listed in the setup. I tried ALL the colors, but no luck. Anybody get this to successfully pair with a (Craftsman) grey learn button?
I also had trouble getting mine to pair! Give them a call, she walked me through the entire process and it did not work. We had to do it 3 times. Our problem was that the app kept deleting the actual device and there was nothing in the app to pair WITH. Make sure it is added with the serial number in the app and that it STAYS entered during the process. But again, a call to customer support will answer all your questions.
