Qualified Opinion

Verified Purchase:Yes
Again, as with another review, this is yet to be unpackaged waiting to have the four satellite receivers reduced to two or three after rooms are remodeled and equipment is rearranged more efficiently in the house. My main concern is the disapproval of the satellite company when using the unit with fewer connections. Will see....

Good Value
on February 21, 2019
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is in storage waiting to be installed in remodeled room; but am certain it at least as good as the previous Insignia 2.0 bars that I have purchased. The 2.0 w/amplifier has been the common standard of most of these offers as the other specific that I scrutinize is the dimension(s). I like the 30'-36'ers, but a 12' I have on a small shelf in kitchen packs a power decibel, as well which should speak to all the Insignia models.

Mixed: Good and Not so Good

The cleaning duster is great as I now can remove the dust and grit from the keyboards' creases and crannies. However, the monitor wipes dry out rendering them worthless except to use them to wipe/clean eyewear lenses, for example. I have been supplementing the wipes' moisture by spraying them with Windex. Recommendation is indifferent to not worth the bother.

Required Accessory
on January 17, 2019
Posted by: Phil
from Louisiana
Verified Purchase:Yes
As this adapted accessory was required to connect an Acer 10" with a micro HDMI port to a 23" monitor with standard sized port, I cannot review this item favorably or unfavorably except that the need to buy this could have been avoided entirely had I known ahead of time that the Acer One would be junked by Geek Squad within two years. To that end, the cable is out of service and now useless. Advantage Best Buy for imposing the sale of it along with the sale of the Acer One. Cannot recommend this given the sour circumstance experienced of the short lived device.

I have never owned one before and this is a new and gratifying cooking experience. Except for simple recipes that will permit shorter cooking time, I try to cook as long as possible: 8-10 hours. I use it each week and cooked pork roast just last week. Cannot do without it now.

I am always in the market for surge protectors, and especially like the square design of this one which fits against wall much niftier. Sales price helped prompt the purchase, as usual.

Larger Unit for Similar Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I do not know the differences in the wattage ouptuts, but this unit clearly has superior output than one I purchased two-three years ago at same price that had less output. So this difference tells me that it was a good deal to seal. Recommend only at same sale price.

Was on Sale: Good Opportunity to Buy

This is a good intermediate length that will accommodate most HDTV/Sound bar setups. This was an impulse purchase when offered on sale and one cannot go wrong with Rockfish (TM). Would recommend to friend only if offered again on sale, however.

Must Have Safety Net

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was bundled with my replaced Lenova 11" free of charge after the junked Acer 10" had been returned to Best Buy four times only two years after purchase. Haven't needed to use it under new coverage term, thankfully, which speaks more to the differences in quality in the notebooks. I suppose the Webroot is a good monitor or regulator of computer quality that can be depended upon to eventually discontinue inferior models as the Acer One 10" apparently was.

Charge portable electronics while on the move with this myCharge RAZOR TURBO power bank. The compact size makes for a portable traveling companion, while the 12,000 mAh capacity provides a reliable power supply. This myCharge RAZOR TURBO power bank has LED indicators to show the battery level so you know when a recharge is needed.
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.

Can you plug this into a wall outlet to charge?
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 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.

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.

I am looking for a switch splitter to connect 4 televisions
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.
