Amazing Packaging
on December 27, 2022
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
A Carpenter classic that looks very good with the 4K HDR upgrade, but the real winner here is the amazing Steelbook packaging. Wow! It has a shine to it but it isn't overly glossy. The artwork is great and there is art on the discs, as well.

Delivered and handled with care

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very pleased with the experience. The tech (Angel) who scheduled the service was so pleasant and professional. We were able to get the delivery scheduled before Thanksgiving and a plumber out in time to install it for the holiday dinner. The guys carefully took the unit off of the truck and placed it in a spot inside our garage. Very pleased.

Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and a complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware, and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced Clean Water Wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks, and the fan enabled ProDry system provides thorough drying, so dishes come out ready for more enjoying.

Money Well-Spent
on December 27, 2022
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very pleased with the purchase. Picking an appliance like this can be a chore. You get concerned that you may not spend enough and may wish you had spent more, or spend more and feel you could have spent less. We wanted to be happy with the large purchase and we would pay a little more to get a unit that would perform well, be relatively quiet, and look aesthetic in our space. This unit does it all.
One of the big selling features for us was the third rack. It isn't just a flat rack for some silverware and utensils; it accommodates glasses and smaller bowls in the v-shaped portions. Plus, it has its own direct sprayer system. Add this to the existing racks and you can make great use of the space to wash loads of dishes.
Do the dishes get clean? Yes! It works great. We're very pleased. The drying system is also very good.
The touch-sensitive buttons on top of the unit are sensitive so you may accidentally press them when opening and closing, but the unit won't activate unless you've pressed the Start button, so it is never a problem. The display on the front of the unit is bright and clear. The racks easily slide in and out. The silverware basket has holes of various sizes and, again, everything comes out clean.
Our plumber made us aware of an anti-leak feature that will also address small leaks that might save your floors in the event of a small leak. The insulation on the unit is very thick, much thicker than the older unit's, which adds to the low noise when operating. Be aware of this though as you may need a little more room for the installation. Our unit is close to our living room and running it is never a concern while watching TV or enjoying company.
We feel this was a good purchase and money well-spent.

Oliver Stone drew on his own real-life experiences for this harrowing Vietnam drama that won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. Charlie Sheen stars as a young U.S. Army grunt who volunteers for frontline combat and faces the horrors of war alongside his battle-scarred platoon sergeant (Tom Berenger) and his empathetic squad leader (Willem Dafoe). Keith David, Kevin Dillon, John C. McGinley, Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker also star. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Two-disc set.

Not a good transfer
on October 1, 2022

The 4K presentation on this disc is disappointing, as I understand it. I returned mine upon seeing the reviews online. Too bad. I truly wanted to enjoy this one in 4K.

Great SteelBook. Not So Great Film.
on October 1, 2022
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
The SteelBook is absolutely amazing with embossing and colorful and appealing art outside and inside. The discs also are colorful with matching art. The film? Well, one may decide for themselves. It has moments, but it doesn't reach the heights of Ragnarok, in my opinion. The HDR presentation here is very good, as well. It's a very clean image with no film grain intact (I believe it was shot digitally). HDR highlights are very bright in several scenes. The Dolby Atmos is lackluster. It didn't seem to wow me at any moment with activity from above, or even in the surrounds all that much. And the LFE was lacking, as well. If you enjoy the film or just want to own all of the MCU, this SteelBook is a great way to own this one.

Amazing special effects and a furry sense of humor highlight this Joe Dante scareshow about L.A. TV anchorwoman Karen White (Dee Wallace), who after a terrifying event, goes on vacation at the Colony, a remote California rest resort. Once there, White finds the Colony is home to a host of strange characters, who all seem to be vicious werewolves. John Sayles loosely adapted the Gary Brandner novel; with Christopher Stone, Patrick Macnee, Kevin McCarthy, John Carradine. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Worth the upgrade to 4K!
on September 12, 2022
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Absolutely worth the upgrade to 4K. I have the previous Blu-ray from Scream Factory and I wasn't sure a 4K upgrade would benefit this film much. Boy, was I wrong. The picture is very pleasing. Film grain is intact but not heavy. The reds and lights of the opening scene pop and create a picture with more depth. Details can be seen in faces, clothing, and the effects. Oh, the effects. Though little of the werewolves is shown, what we get looks amazing and the transformation scene has never been more grotesque. The previous Blu-ray is included and it has loads of very interesting special features that I also thoroughly enjoyed after watching the film. The Howling is a classic. Buy it!

Heat is a Cool Steelbook Release
on August 15, 2022
Posted by: IndyTim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a big fan of this Steelbook. I love the design here and it is great that the discs have artwork, as well. Some will criticize the transfer of the film and lack of an Atmos upgrade, but this is a true 4K transfer and the detail is there. The previous Blu-ray was also very good, which you get with this release. So, if you don't already have that, this is a great pick-up, as the previous Blu-ray is included here. So, you get it, the 4K and the awesome Steelbook.

I got the slipcover, but I was in the store. Currently, all issued should have the slip. The wrapping is over the slipcover. At some point they might stop issuing slipcovers, but they are on the early runs out there now. So, even ordering online you should receive one.

Backed by our outstanding warranty, the Honeywell Energy Star 30-pint (20 Pint 2019 DOE Standard) smart dehumidifier removes moisture with less energy than conventional dehumidifiers, saving energy costs! This unit removes up to 30 pints of moisture daily from medium to large rooms such as basements, dens, and storage rooms. The continuous drain option increases flexibility by allowing you to continuously drain the condensate water for long unattended operation (drain tube included). The digital humidistat control system automatically senses room moisture levels and activates dehumidification to accurately maintain desired humidity levels. Wi-Fi connected with Amazon Alexa voice control, you can monitor the humidity in your home from almost anywhere. It is compatible with Apple iOS9.0 (or later) and Android version 4.3 (or later). A 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi connection is required to operate the Smart Dehumidifier App and remote features.
 

Does this 70 have the option to hook up to hose so you don’t have to empty it?

Yes. I use the included hose and it continuously drains. No issues.

When sleek good looks meet powerful cleaning and intelligent performance, you~ll experience laundry on a whole new level. TurboWash 360~ cleans larger loads fast so you get more done while enjoying the same great washing performance. And forget about endless sorting~AI technology uses built-in sensors to detect fabric texture and load size and then automatically selects the right settings for advanced fabric care. Activate Smart Pairing in the ThinQ app, and the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack. The gentle power of steam reduces common household allergens in fabrics by more than 95%*. Durable and stylish tempered glass door with rose gold accents adds the perfect finish. *Based on certification by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)
 

Many have stated the the control panel is hard to see because it is not backlit. Has this problem been remedied with the newest model?

I can see the panel just fine, but I turn the light on when using the washer and dryer. That said, there are lights on the unit, but it isn't fully illuminated for use in the dark.

Is this unit capable of converting DTS signals to Dolby Digital 5.1?

I do not believe so. I seem to recall that I had a Samsung Blu-ray player years ago (maybe the F7500) that would do this.

Does this player have an option where you can change the screen size? I HATE letterbox.

Do any disc players do this? Every TV from the past several years has several built-in 'zoom' functions. So, use those. I see no such options in the player's manual.

can u download an app like a disney+?

No. The app selection isn't very broad. I don't even use them, and I recommend a dedicated streaming box over the player's apps.
