Beautiful case

I’ve had this case for nearly 2 years and it’s held up really well. The glass panels make for a really gorgeous build. I’ve had no issues with overheating, airflow seems okay. You probably give up some airflow for aesthetics but for me it’s worth it and it hasn’t been an issue. I don’t really do overclocking though. It fits my RTX 3080 with plenty of room.

Set scenes via the mobile app to optimize these C by GE LED light bulbs for reading and movie nights. The A19 bulb connects directly to Google Home devices via Bluetooth with no additional hub or bridge required to provide quick and easy setup.

Great if you only need basic controls
on June 3, 2019
Posted by: Chris

So this product is great IF all you're looking for is basic voice control for lights. If you're invested in the Google Home ecosystem, setup is a complete breeze and you can have the bulb set up in less than half a minute without requiring a hub. HOWEVER, the disappointment lies in the fact that there is virtually no automation options - like scheduled lighting - when paired to a Google Home, only voice control. The product description isn't clear on this and can be a little misleading. For any such automation, you have to pair via bluetooth with your mobile device using the C by GE app. You're trading full capability for convenience when pairing with Google. Even with the C by GE app, the automation options seem a bit limited. One example: when paired to the app instead of smart home, you can schedule your lights for specific times of day but you can't sync it with any alarms set by your smart home. All control is via the app which requires you to pull out your phone. My ideal scenario is to be able to set an alarm via smart home and the lights to gradually come on an hour before the alarm goes off. Other, more popular smart light brands can do this (granted, with a hub).
Overall the quality of the lights themselves, the price, and ease of setup with Google make this a really tempting option. I highly recommend this brand if you only need one or two bulbs, when investing in a hub would not be worth it, and if you only need basic smart home control. But if you're looking for smarter automation and are willing to pay a bit of a premium for it, stick to the other brand.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

A little expensive but the best one out there

This is the best stylus out there for the older iPad Pros. While I don't use it daily or professionally, the tilt and pressure sensitivity is nice to have. The full price didn't feel justified but with a gift certificate and a pretty hefty discount when I price matched, I went for it. Careful if you do decide to purchase, this isn't for the new generation of iPad Pros. This is for the old generation iPad Pros and the new iPad Air only. Now that the Gen 2 Apple Pencil is out, you may be able to find some pretty good discounts out there that Best Buy is willing to price match so keep an eye out.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

I love my Google Home Mini. The Google Assistant is the best of the smart home assistants in my opinion, and I've tried all of them. 9/10 times it's the one that's going to understand your question the most. I mostly use mine for asking the weather, checking my commute and calendar, and controlling a handful of smart devices (thermostat, home security, and a few smart plugs). While I do think the smart assistant technologies are not at it's full potential yet, the Google Assistant is constantly improving so it is nice to see when new features are rolled out. I'm sure if you're in the Google ecosystem, this would be a no-brainer and would work seamlessly for you. I am on an iPhone and have still found it incredibly easy to use. For the price, not a bad way to get introduced to smart homes.

Great for gigabit internet speeds

This router is amazing. I opted for this model when my old router crapped out and stopped giving me the gigabit speeds I was paying for. Setup was easy and within a half hour my speeds were back to normal and I get full wifi coverage in every room.

Great if upgrading from TV audio
on March 20, 2019
Posted by: Chris
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
This soundbar system is extremely well priced for the level of sound quality you get in return. If you are coming from TV audio only, the improvement will feel like you're getting theater quality sound. I'm sure there are better (and more expensive!) options out there, but unless you've grown used to higher end audio, you probably would not notice the difference. For years I'd listen to TV audio only and have trouble hearing the dialogue no matter the volume. With the soundbar, you can hear the dialogue clearly even in low to medium volume, the bass from the subwoofer is a huge improvement I never knew I needed, and the surround sound speakers are a delightful addition. If you don't consider yourself an audiophile and you're just a normal person like me who appreciates good sound quality, then skip the more expensive options and get this. In my experience with electronics, you get diminishing returns with only incremental improvements on the high-end expensive stuff. For most people, this will be more than enough.

The title speaks for itself. Did it enhance my drying speed, as the description claims? No clue. But I sure like to think it has.

Is it possible for a washer to put a smile on your face~and keep it there? We humbly say: ~Believe it!~ Believe in LG~s incredible TurboWash technology that saves you up to 30 minutes per load (even the biggies) with outstanding cleaning performance. Feel glad all over with the wrinkle-reducing magic of TrueSteam technology, the real savings of ColdWash and the revolutionary clean of 6Motion technology. And revel in the bliss of incredibly quiet performance. It~s easy to smile when you~ve got it all.

Beast of a dryer. The tub is big and the steam function is pretty neat. This model uses the steam function doesn’t use a water reservoir, it connects to the water line so don’t forget to pick up the connection kit.

Best Buy contracts with a third party to deliver appliances. The installers were fast and helpful. My only complaint is that they came over an hour after the delivery window without a phone call to update. I understand Best Buy is relying on the third party to notify them of a delay but maybe there could be a better system in place to prevent that from happening or to at least notify the customer before or at the beginning of the delivery window.

Install your steam dryer confidently using this Smart Choice 5304495002 kit, which includes a 6' fill hose, constructed of braided stainless-steel to prevent kinks and punctures, that resists high levels of pressure up to 125 psi.
Is this required for a gas dryer with a steam feature? I am interested in purchasing a gas dryer, model: DV45K6500GV, and want to know if i need to purchase this in order for the steam feature to work.
For the newer models (including the model you specified), you will need this kit to use the steam function. If you go to the product page, under Specifications, there is a category called Water Source. The older models will say Reservoir, the newer models will say Fill Hose. This kit comes with the Y-shaped mixer hose and the fill hose that connects to the dryer.

I thought that you can use the steam feature on LG dryers by filling the reservoir on the front of the unit, and that you don’t have to hook up to water? Please confirm.
The newer LG models use a fill hose instead of a reservoir. If you go to the Specifications under the product page, you should see a category called Water Source. The older models will say reservoir. The newer models will say fill hose. If it says fill hose, then you will need the steam dryer installation kit that has both the Y-shaped mixer hose and the fill hose for the steam dryer.
