Doesn't Fit!

During the Deal of the Day this product was offered, the Geek Squad Agent assured me that this cable would connect into the port of my iPhone 8, but to no avail. Now I am faced with a quick decision to beat the return deadline and ship it back to BB, or to take it in to the Geek Squad office 25 miles away. I am hoping that all I need is an alternate cable. No thanks for misleading me, Geek Squad agent. Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, shame on you.

Keep electronics functional when you're far from home with this twin-pack of Insignia portable batteries. A Micro-USB connection ensures compatibility with a wide variety of devices, while two USB ports provide charges for two devices at a time. This comes with two 8,000 mAh Built-in Cell Capacity batteries. Performance will vary based on settings and environmental conditions, and will decrease over time and use.

Misleading Ad
on March 27, 2020
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great opportunity, I thought, especially when ad claimed that it would connect to "MOST" devices, but not my iPhone 8. The male plug does not fit into the female connector of the phone to charge it. Good Value, but not functional for me. My only remedy is to return it as I cannot go to Best Buy to find adaptor or exchange it due to the National Emergency.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

Can you plug this into a wall outlet to charge?

I stand corrected. That afforementioned cable is included into a different smaller model. Yours in question requires a separate purchase of yet another cable at Best Buy. It’s model and description is as follows: INS 6’ C-A Braided Char.; #’s 6410839; NS-MCA621C. I paid $17.99 plus tax. It is six feet long.

The cable that is enclosed with the power pack has male plugs on each end:,a small and conventional large one the plugs into the conventional square plug with two prongs that plugs into the wall outlet. Of course, the small end plugs into the pack.

Can someone show me a pic of their 4 wire cord install? I'm having issues with it

I have no picture, but I can share my experience. The recommended 10 gage wiring has three wires: two hot and a ground; but the four wires are in the 8 gage that I had to use on thirty foot length. I used the red and white for hot, the bare for ground, then left the black idle and tied back to the main wiring out of the way.

Feed the whole family with this 6-cup Aroma rice cooker. It doubles as a steamer, so you can make healthy veggie and side dishes, and the simple one-touch operation takes stress out of cooking. This Aroma rice cooker has an automatic warming function that keeps grains hot while you prepare other parts of a meal.
 

Looking for the dimensions for this rice cooker/steamer; i.e., height, width/diameter? Thanks

Eight inches high and eight in diameter.

Does this cook only white rice, or can I also cook brown or wild rice?

There is a difference indeed that you need to take heed to; but I defer to the owner's manual that you need to refer to.

Eight inches tall and surprisingly eight inches in diameter. Containers a bit smaller to fit inside diameter, but plenty big.

Only @ Best BuyEasily switch between up to 4 HDMI source components with this HDMI switch that supports 1080p and 3D video for high-definition entertainment and 7.1 surround sound for impressive audio.
 

I am looking for a switch splitter to connect 4 televisions

This should do the job, but you will need extra long HDMI cables to reach to the other corners or tv stands of the domicile. The accessories and connectivity should be your bigger concern. Order accordingly. I found a 25' HDMI cable on sale last year which is very unusual, and I keep it stored for unusual connection situations. Best Buy does not offer ongoing "best prices" when it comes to connectivity, but occasionally will hit a home run in its "Deal of the Day" offers. Keep your eyes peeled "daily" which is when I get the "best" deals through Best Buy. How about that for a left-handed compliment. I hope this does not offend Best Buy and they have my "Rewards" revoked out of spite.

Is it possible to power this with a USB input? I'd like to avoid plugging in another AC adapter, for energy efficiency reasons.

AM not yet experienced on USB inputs, but do not see why not. I, too, have too many AC adaptors.

I was exactly where you are right now when I bought this a couple of months ago as I wondered the same, but have yet to install it waiting for room remodeling and reducing the four outlets to only two or at the most three hopefully with the aid of the splitter enabling all the other receiver or two. I have faith that it will perform as advertised, but hope that the satellite provider will not disapprove. I might need to wait until the next equipment upgrade in several months to reduce the number of outlets before installing the splitter switch; but I do have a blueprint in my mind right now as to how to rearrange it all which is a start.

Is there a reason the switch would not support hdmi ultra hd deep color? Anytime I enable it to get the full potential of the 4K experience I get flashes on the screen, it gets worse if I switch to my 4K player and only when it’s enabled. What’s the issue

I have both a 1080P and 4K HDTV's connected to my recently upgraded 4K signal and both respond accordingly. The contentious constraint that I have learned during the 2 1/2 years of receiving 4K is the limited 4K programming provided by the satellite company who promises will increase to more channels in time: but when? I resign myself to accept this upgraded 4K as simply keeping up with the new technology: staying ahead of the curve, if you will, and nothing more as of yet. Beyond that, I do not know of any 'switch' unless you are referring to the four-way splitter that was recently offered that I purchased of which I read reviews that it had to be manipulated (reset, or manually changed) when changing output ports that feed respective electronic. Try resetting/restarting the unit to redirect the signal to desired port of which was a common reference of remedy which I read: trial and error, I suppose.
