Not a good unit
on February 29, 2024
Posted by: Duke
I had this unit for a couple years and all was fine. Then all of a sudden it would go from the AM/FM station to Bluetooth all by itself. It would also turnoff by itself. Contacted Sharp and they could not help. Unplugged and plugged back in. same thing continues. And this happens everyday.

Meet the Ninja Double Oven, the countertop oven that unlocks the power of two ovens in the counter space of one. Only Ninja has the FlexDoor that creates 2 separate ovens so you can cook 2 meals, 2 ways at different temperatures and cooking times. Use just the Top Rapid Oven for quick snacks, sides, and sheet pan meals~or the Bottom Convection & Air Fry Oven for larger roasts, bakes, or air frying up to 6 lbs of wings. You can also sync both independent ovens to cook a full course meal that finishes cooking at the same time with Smart Finish technology. While your meal cooks, FlavorSeal technology prevents flavor crossover between ovens. The Smart Cook System precisely monitors temperatures with the leave-in thermometer, so you don't have to. Two oven cavities in one eliminate back-to-back cooking for 65% faster meal-making than your traditional oven so you can put your wall oven out of business. Plus, this countertop dual oven features 12 cooking functions for the ultimate versatility.

When I went to swap out the 64 GB card for a 128 GB card, I could not get the card slot to open. On my old Fire I had to go into settings, storage and select 'safely remove SD card'. My new Fire does not have. How can I change out SD card?

Only at Best BuyProvide a stable base and swivel function to your flat screen television with this Sanus swivel base for televisions up to 65 inches. The modern base provides cable management for a sleek look and offers a solid base for organizing soundbars and other components. This Sanus swivel base lets you turn your television 20 degrees in either direction.
 

Will this base work with most Samsung 43” TV’s?

This probably would work if it falls within the mount's size parameters. you may want to go to the mount's manufacturing website and download the user manual. That may give you a better idea. And if no luck you can then ask their tech support you question.
