Ring Alarm Contact Sensor Works & Easy to Install
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: FootballDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
This sensor is super easy to install with the sticky tape. You can also screw it to the wall, if you like. It works seamlessly with the Ring Home Security kit. Got this as an add on because I needed more sensors than what came in the kit. I recommend them to anyone.

Nest Worked- Just Not with My Central Air Unit
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: FootballDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I liked the way that it works, except for one thing. It was not compatible with my particular central air system. Nest says that their product works with 95% of all systems. Mine wasn't one of them. It seems pretty intuitive to use. Choose a program, turn the dial, and then tap to enter. My unit stayed on at 72 all the time. While I tried to adjust the Nest temperature up and down, my system did not respond to my requests. Regretfully, I had to return my Nest. I would recommend it, BUT anyone considering buying should check for compatibility with their a/c unit (Label).

Make Sure to Get Card Activated (In Store)
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: FootballDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this as a gift. Works just as it is described to. I would recommend and buy again. Just one thing, I would buy it IN THE STORE to ensure that they scan it for activation. My prior one I bought online from Best Buy was not activated at the factory. When I called their customer care line, they weren't able to activate it either, even though I sent them a photo of the card with all the serial #s, and they conformed my online order.

Sits perfectly over couch's armrest. It has a weighted rod that you tuck down into the seat cushion against the arm rest to keep it in place. Holds all of my remotes. Keeps the clutter down. I would recommend and buy again.

Great Streaming Product

Posted by: FootballDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Roku product does not take up a lot of space. It is very responsive. Because of it's small size, I plan to bring it with me when I travel to plug into the hotel TV and connect to the hotel WiFi. I highly recommend this product.

Great Small Blu-Ray Player
on May 31, 2019
Posted by: FootballDad
from NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this blu-ray player. It has wireless connectivity to the internet and has built in apps. It is small in size and very light. It connects by HDMI cable. I would consider bringing this along on vacation. I would connect to the hotel's Wi-Fi and stream shows on available channels or apps loaded into the blu-ray player. I would definitely recommend this product.

Refill Ink is a Big Bother
on April 18, 2019
Posted by: FootballDad
from NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had this for approximately 5 months. It was a solid performing up until it was time to change the ink cartridges. I bought genuine Epson ink and it wouldn't recognize the ink cartridge as being Epson. I had to repeatedly remove the ink cartridge and re-insert it. I only replaced the ink three times and each time had trouble. I returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for an HP 6978. No issues with the HP.

Can you make it so it does not fill the ice bin in the freezer, thus providing more freezer storage space?

I don't believe so. When the ice makers are supplied with water, the water is sent to both ice makers to freeze and make ice. There isn't any way to do only one at a time.

Will a Canon Power Shot SX740 HS Camera fit in this case?

Yes, it will fit. I have the SX730HS which is virtually the same camera in size.

I'm having trouble hooking up my system. It is hooked up to the TV but I don't see how to hook it into the cable box.

My cable box is connected by HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the TV. The Blu-Ray player gets connected directly into the TV with another HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the TV. I do NOT connect the Blu-ray into the cable box and then into the TV. I hope this helps you.
