Washer failed just over 3 years into service in ho
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: sglmom
Thankfully I purchased the 5 year Best Buy protection plan, because this Washer didnt make it to even 4 years (sadly enough). Hyst past Samsung warranty its bearing went put and that was it.
Good news .. Best Buy warranty really was and still is an extra good choice to add on and pay for. They came out for service, diagnosed, couldnt repair, so offered a replacement washer for me to obtain.

Designed to pair with Samsung Bespoke Front Load washers and dryers, this 27-in wide pedestal will allow you to lift your Bespoke washer or dryer by more than a foot for a more convenient height. It also provides an easily accessible built-in storage drawer, so you can tidy up your laundry space.

A MUST for anyone with the appliance
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seriously .. with appliances as low to ground level as they are now designed, a good bit of lift from a pedestal (and a drawer too) is a MUST HAVE in thexhouse when you are taller than average and even with a wheelchair or walker in use too (I'm both taller than average and also someone who uses a wheelchair/walker .. this gets the doeor opening to a reasonable height and i dont have to be im pain because appliance washer is just too low!).
I like the idea of the drawer, but it is still a bit low for me (sigh .. i buy the largest size detergents and fabric softeners .. they won't fit in this drawer still!). Thankfully ive saved some small detergent jugs from travel, washed and reuse them, so i can put my stock in the drawer.
(I still use liquid detergent and softeners .. the pods are not efficient cleaners, and i domt lile having to use 3 or 4 per load).
All in all .. getting appliance off ground level is a plus for me. I dont stack my appliances (the laundry area is big enough to put them side by side)
JUST a few inches higher would be perfect. But this is far better than beimg in a wheelchair and having door well below wheelchair axle.

Amazon has started annoying adverts
on December 1, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a replacement for an older generation dongle that i used on my smart TV (because we all know someome who cant navigate the smartscreens on smart tvs and need to just change to this with the remote by switching to one of the ports).
With that said .. worms as expected. Id be fine with giving it 5vstars for the price (sale) and ease of connection ...
But ... AMAZON is now having the opening screen go to those blasted annoying adverts that are what ticked me off about cable tv! (Yep .. that kind and level of irritation).
Same with them imposing pro sports junk when i dont want to pay for that expensive stuff in the first place.
So i took off 2 stars for the annoying advertisements.

Sturdy, Durable, easy to clean
on October 13, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Actually, it is very solid, easy to clean, I LOVE the high arch of the handle (I've got arthritis in my hands, this makes it easier for me to grab!) and the whole thing just is a good fit for a durable, reliable saute pan and is replacing some older ones I have (from decades ago) that have fallen apart.
All in all, at the SALE price, this was also a great investment.
(Oh, best part -- dishwasher cleanable!)

Plenty to LIKE of this set
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK .. this was something I was interested in (mainly because I do use an immersion blender, but it's awkward since it is one piece and I have to HAND WASH - and that's a problem when you're disabled and can't stand up for any length of time).
So yes, purchased this set. The fact I can put the whisk, beaters, and immersion blender stick as well as the container/lid in the dishwasher (OF COURSE I rinse everything off first and remove most stuck on junk), it HELPS tremendously (and the dishwasher has a sani-clean cycle, so I know it is clean).
The handle is comfortable, and it's a definite plus too. I tend to Clean the base (with the electric cord attached) with Disinfecting Wipes (it's just more efficient, and I get the splatters off the device itself that can't be cleaned easily in either the sink or dishwasher).
All in all, a good choice. I'm just wishing there were more attachments (I noted the difference between the beaters), available to order with the device itself.

Sale Price is decent, and it is FAST at backing up
on September 1, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
OF Course I do backup my personal files (including SLR Photography efforts), and keep that in case anything happens (I have had hard drives fail before). The price was excellent (given the sale price), and this SSD is quite a bit SMALLER than the previous hard drives, which makes it far more convenient). I like the hole (which I use to put it on a lanyard when I am out and about doing my photography (backing up my SD Cards when they are full), and this helps tremendously. All in all, a good purchase for my purposes, and it easily connects to my laptop so that I can process any photographs I backed up easily enough.

Easy to set up for landline use
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Economical Alternative for those of us who still have a landline in our homes. Easy to set up, easy to put the 2nd handset in a separate (but more used gathering spot) in the home too. All in all, the handset is lightweight, they charge well and it doesn't take up much space at all.

Small, quiet, accurate backups
on August 11, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Does wjat i needed it to do ... which is be a backup drive for a family member visiting me that doesnt back up their data for the most part. This way i give them a collection of their files and images and they arent as stressed trying to figure out what images to delete (since their cell plan limits the images). All in all, it was simple to connect , easy to get things done and my review (compare the files and images for a good number to verify accuracy of the copy) is complete. I like it is small, quiet running

TINY and it works
on August 4, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
Compared to the backup drives of the past (And I've got quite a few) .. this is not only TINY in size, but it is just as good at backup as the older ones (and faster to do so overall).
I tend to use the 4tb Drives for when I travel and enjoy my photography hobby -- that's the reason for this purchase. I also use it to hold such as recipes (From cooking schools I attend while traveling - I like to go to places were I can eat and get recipes too learning new techniques), my documents, and other miscellaneous content. (including my backup for my MP3/4 drive music files).

Does what it needs to do -- Backups are a MUST!
on July 16, 2023
Posted by: sglmom
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use these as backups for my computer files (Digital Photos, Worksheets, Documents, etc). This does what it needs to do and that's what we can expect.
I was able to double check random samples, and the save was accurate (no missing data at all)

With five adjustable fan speeds, ultra-quiet operation, and remote control through the MyMiko app, you can personalize your environment with ease. The built-in aromatherapy tray lets you add essential oils for a soothing touch, while safety features like tip-over shutoff and filter change alerts ensure peace of mind. Whether you're at home or away, the Ibuki 2.0 gives you smart, efficient, and stylish air purification.
 

Are the filters washable

Although I looked it up (and it is said it can be lightly washed/vacuumed off, you can shake out the filter too), I wouldn't recommend actually washing the filter given what I saw of the construction. Sure it is sturdy enough, but looking at the inside of the filter, I'd say it is far better to vacuum/shake out the surface and replace every so often than to warp the filter by deeper washing and potentially ruining the hepa component (or unit itself).

Can the ionizer be turned on and off so that particular feature is just on when people aren't at home? Can this be done both on the unit itself and remotely via the app?

YES! I have actually done this via the app (while I was at Physical Therapy), and had it run when I was out of the house. I was able to successfully turn it on, set the fan speed and time limits.

(I haven't done it at the unit ltself -- but you can turn on the unit before you leave without using the app and set the fan speed too. It's just easier for me to use remote app control).

How much are the filter replacements and where would I buy them from?

It uses the MAF-01 Filter for the Ibuki (and by using that filter model number, you can ask for it as Best Buy or look it up on Amazon or other websites to see if they have that filter for sale.
The prices vary depending on seller. I'd make sure to check the site reviews on each seller to see what works out best.

Easily adhere the Sticker to remotes, bikes, and headphones ~ no additional accessories required. Find what you've Tiled by ringing the device or viewing its last location on your phone. Or, set up your Tile to work as an SOS button, and discreetly send an alert to your Life360 Circle in unsafe situations.
 

Can it track people?

Short answer .. sort of.
I do put these in specific items or bags to be able to know where things are. (Even put in purse, wallet, or into inside of backpack so you can find where to start. Also can put in fold of jacket and sew shut)
This wont be good to stick on a person and its not going to help when your perosn is separated from your bag or device. Its also got lag and may not be able to update locations easily on big cities either.

Samsung~s 25 cu. ft. large capacity 4-Door French Door refrigerator is beautifully designed, with SpaceMax~ Technology, EZ-Open Handle~ and a fingerprint resistant finish that withstands everyday smudges.
 

Can you lock the smart divider in the flex drawer?

Not really. Although you can adjust it quite easily (for example, I have moved the divider to form 4 sections - one for wines, one for bottled water, one for sodas, and a fourth for such as the protein drinks (or anything else - like cheeses). IT is the way I stack/locate the items in the drawer that keeps the divider in place.

Shine light on stairs, decks and porches with a battery-powered Steplight packed with 35 lumens of brightness. Connect it to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. The Ring Bridge also links your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices, so you can turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.
 

Are batteries included

No -- you have to purchase the batteries separately.

A small Sticker for your remote, a versaTile by Life360 Mate for keys, and a slender Slim for your wallet. With Tile by Life360 you can carry on with one less thing to worry about. Download the free Tile by Life360 app and start finding. Tile by Life360 requires installation of the Tile by Life360 App on iOS or Android, registration for a Tile by Life360 account and acceptance of Tile by Life360~s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (available at Tile by Life360.com). Payment required to access additional Premium services.
 

if I left my keys at the mall and got home like 60 miles away would the tile locator work?

Not quite sure how to answer this, since I just checked on my tractor which is in for maintenance and could see where it is (tractor repair) but it also notes out of range.
Best way to answer this is that if you have tile premium, and set up tile to give you notifications when you start getting out of range, you have time to get back there and retrieve your missing item. (Less than 60 miles for sure).
So check your settings, call where you think they are and check lost and found there.

Archive large amounts of data on disc with this Asus ZenDrive external DVD writer. It provides easy backup management because it comes with software applications Nero BackItUp for Android and CyberLink Power2Go for PC. This ultra-slim Asus ZenDrive external DVD writer includes two 4.7GB M-DISCs to provide robust data storage.
 

Is this Asus zen drive 8x external usb double layer dvd=r/cd-rw drive compatable with HP ENVY - 17m-ce0013dx Serial number: Product number: 8CG92403X8 5UB13UA#ABA

Bottom line, it has a USB connection built in and yes, it can be used with any Windows Device (and even the Mac Devices nowadays too).
I'll caution you here about leaving any serial numbers anywhere -- just tell us it's an HP computer, with what ports available built in. (I used this device to read some of my old DVDs that I backed up my photos on to download them onto my newest backup hard drive).

Shine light on walkways, driveways and pathways with a battery-powered Pathlight packed with 80 lumens of brightness. Connect it to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate your cameras and more. The Ring Bridge also links your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices, so you can turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.
 

How far can the pathlight be from the ring bridge to work?

I have the bridge about mid-house, it's wireless. Now with that said, I know from my rural home, I can't really extend these too far from the house (about 10-20 feet or so), and also it is extended from edge to edge of the front of the house for lighting of patio and garage areas. I wasn't able to get them to work much further than that (and given I do live rurally, my DRIVE is a lot longer than what is shown in Ring's promotional photos)
