Clean more dishes in less time. This Bosch dishwasher lets you change rack positions until everything fits with its 3 rack organization system. Plus, front controls let you set cycles and select options easily, like Speed 60, Five-Level Wash, and Extra Dry.

First Bosch item we have owned
on August 1, 2020
Posted by: Obvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
My dad is a mechanic so I know the name Bosch from industrial items. This is the first consumer item I have purchased from them.
I expected it to be sturdier as the company makes the industrial products but it is similar to Maytag in quality, which is good quality.
Pro
1) Recessed controls! The controls are in a cavity instead of flat on the dishwasher door. Our previous dishwasher had the controls flat on the door and every guest that entered our house, if we started talking in the kitchen, would lean up against the dishwasher and start a cleaning cycle by accident. The recessed controls stop that from happening.
Con
1) If you use tablets, instead of gel or powder, about 1 out of every 10 washes the tablet gets stuck on the tray and doesn't dissolve. Tried different types of tablets and they are all the same. Gel works better, I still use tablets but you have to run the cycle again when it gets stuck.
Advice
1) Don't close the door completely ever unless you are running a wash cycle. The seals are really good on this machine and if you close the door with dirty dishes in there it will start getting stinky after an hour with the door closed. I pull out the top tray slightly and close the door on in so it doesn't seal, that keeps it from smelling funky.

These things rock

Verified Purchase:Yes
The aluminum casing is tougher that any plastic thing. No cap to worry about. I bought this to purposely have on the keychain, in this day and age a handy flash drive is as useful as having a pocketknife with you. Only the aluminum casing works for a keychain to handle the wear and tear. Definitely recommend for keychains.

Still working after 2 years

Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, it is a toaster so I can't get gushy over it. But, 2 years and no problems, still toast evenly on both sides. Easy to clean. I use the cancel button more than I ever thought I would.

Print high-quality documents with this case of Hammermill premium inkjet paper. The paper is acid free, so it won't deteriorate as quickly over time, and the heavier weight paper is suitable for resumes, letterhead and other professional documents. This Hammermill premium inkjet paper has ColorLok technology for brighter colors and faster drying times.

Typical paper, not any better than Boise. I didn't have any problems but it is hard to get gushy over a normal product that is the same as any normal product.

Love this thing
on August 1, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for only $290 after I brought back an LG 4k television that was horrid in picture quality.
This television freaking rocks, and that is based on the price.
1) only $290
2) very light, makes it simple to hang on a tv mount
3) never had one problem with picture, sound, or power
4) looks fantastic from every viewing angle
My father in law has an outside patio with a tv mount and speakers. He asked for my opinion on what television to get and mentioned tv's made for the cold weather. Those are over $1000 for hdtv for the same size as this tv. I convinced him to buy this Toshiba for $300 and said if the television fails outside in the cold, he could buy two more new ones and still be under $1000. It has been over 2 years outside in the cold and it still works fine.

Total junk

Look cool and that is it. One of the blades would only get up to half speed so the thing never flew once. Also, blades on the bottom of the drone so they hit things easier. This is a Chinese special. Don't buy.

Kind of cheap
on August 1, 2020
Posted by: Obvious
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this for $10 on sale. The trend of bluetooth speakers is why this was created but not very good sound quality. If you care about sound go for the jbl flip or wonderboom or the wonderboom knockoff from Monoprice for 1/3 the price. Jbl flip is the best one in my opinion. This Insigina speaker would be a present for the little kids or the grandma who can't hear very good.

120 is small so don't get it because it's cheaper

No problems with the ssd, Windows 10 takes a huge chunk of the 120 mb so get this for a boot disk only. I say spend more money and get a 500mb or 1tb and be done with it.

I say check with the Skullcandy website to see what devices this works with. Volume and track advance doesn't work on the phone or tablet I have. Otherwise the audio is pretty good and the construction is solid on these.

The built-in speakers use DTS sound technology for crisp, natural audio, and the three HDMI inputs let you connect gaming consoles, streaming boxes or other accessories. This Insignia LED TV has a 1920 x 1080 resolution for a crisp, colorful picture.
 

Does this TV have an audio optical input?

No, it has a digital optical output though. Input for audio is only rca and hdmi. Upgrade to an hdmi pass through receiver, the optical ports end up breaking anyway.

The HDMI 1 port doesn't fit my HDMI cable, don't know why? please help. Thank you.

See if the port is bent. Ports on televisions are not one solid piece, they are usually rings with a space in there somewhere so if that is the case take a flathead screwdriver and gently widen the slot. Try a different cable also, they are not all created equal.
