Checks the box

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product checks the box for a secure shredder. Listening to the motor as the shredder shreds through paper, one can determine it wouldn’t take much to overwhelm it.

Loud

Very loud. Plugged in continuously for multiple days and the fan has not quieted down. It seems to be working and deodorizing the area. I wish it was quieter.

A fantastic value but basic
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: AKWanderer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Incredible value for a radio frequency (RF) controlled 16’ LED color strip. The problem is that the controllers or rather the remotes are not uniquely paired to one another. This means if you have two of these light strips, they will both accept commands from either remote together even if in different rooms. Or if a neighboring apartment unit has the same Insignia led strip. I really like this led strip but wish they could ignore other remotes.

Watch HD channels over the air with this Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX antenna. This long-range attic/outdoor TV antenna has quick-connect assembly that makes setup easy. It receives TV signals from over 70 miles away, and its multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF configurations provide optimal reception without having to aim it. The ClearStream 4MAX is whole-home ready and connects with existing satellite or a cable provider~s wiring to deliver the antenna's signal to all your TVs. There are also many advantages to an outdoor TV antenna over an indoor antenna. An outdoor antenna will have fewer obstructions and less interference (noise) from electronics devices inside your home. This Antennas Direct ClearStream 4MAX antenna includes a 20-inch mast with a pivoting base to allow for installations on horizontal or vertical surfaces like a roof, fascia, or attic. Note: the range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers.

Amazing Effective!

Succeeded in an Alaskan location where previous antennas have failed. Installed and directed in minutes. Expectedly, not each of the 40 channels found were watchable, but all but one of the main ones were very clear. Very impressed. Didn’t need an amplifier either.

Designed to give your Apple Watch a classic, yet bold new look. Made from minimally treated, vegetable tanned leather from one of America's oldest tanneries. The leather is designed to beautifully patina with time, creating a handsome, rich leather strap with a look that is uniquely yours.

Breaking down in less than a year
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: AKWanderer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had this watch for less than a year. Glue was used in parts of this item in lieu of quality stitching one should expect from a quality leather accessory. This glue has now broken down and the strap is coming apart. This strap also is very susceptible to odor. Baking soda and washing it with soap and water did not help. Warranty is only 90 days, that should be an indication as to the confidence the manufacturer has in the quality of their product.

Great deal. Meticulous effort for SDR content!
on September 1, 2019
Posted by: AKWanderer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Geek squad arrived on time and in great spirits. They were friendly and answered any questions I had. They took their time with the calibration tool meticulously adjusting more than just the normal picture settings.
However, I was surprised to learn that the calibration provided by Geek Squad was only applied to the Stand Dynamic Range (or SDR) settings of my television, that their equipment could not calibrate High Dynamic Range (or HDR) content. In stores a TV with HDR is a selling point, that that coupled with HDR content (4K Blu Ray or AppleTV) is the pinnacle or color picture quality. Purchasing an expensing native-HDR OLED panel and UHD Blu Ray player made the calibration seem pointless if only applied to SDR content and settings.
SDR content does genuinely look better when viewed after calibration. For an older TV or one not enabled with HDR this will be the best way to make it accurate! However, for my favorite content I would have liked the calibration to have been applied to HDR settings as well.

Amazing quality streaming device

This just feels like what a quality streaming device should look and feel like. Hardware supports Dolby Vision when Roku and others do not. User interface is intuitive and responsive. Remote can be recharged with existing iPhone charging cables. Last, but not least, it gets regular software security updates!!!

Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It~s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.

Great little device to use in lieu of a “pop-socket”! Doesn’t hold up to repeated use however. It had unglued and became useless in a matter of months.

Active noise cancellation for immersive sound. Transparency mode for hearing and connecting with the world around you. A more customizable fit for all-day comfort. Sweat- and water-resistant.~ All in a super light, in-ear headphone that's easy to set up with all your Apple devices.~
 

Can I use just one ipod to talk over the phone?, and can it be either one, left or right?

Yes you can use just one AirPod can be either, it makes no difference.

Orbi Wi-Fi 6 is a tri-band Wi-Fi system built with the fast Wi-Fi 6 technology to provide an ultimate smart home experience with Wi-Fi coverage and connection capacity beyond belief. Keep all your Wi-Fi connections strong, in every room, all the time with enough bandwidth for all your devices, multiple 4K or 8K UHD streaming video, music for your Wi-Fi connected speakers, fast online gameplay, smart lights, Wi-Fi security devices and more.
 

Is there a way to hang these up? From the shape, it doesn't look like they can be hung up. I've read that I should place my WiFi router up high for best coverage.

Yes. Netgear sells a wall mount for these devices but Best Buy does not carry them.

What is the difference between the Ax6000 and the AX4200 WiFi 6 mesh system

Biggest difference will be bandwidth. AX6000 = theoretical 6000Mbps (2.4Ghz (1,200Mbps) + 5Ghz (2,400Mbps) + 5Ghz backhaul (2,400Mbps)). AX4200 = theoretical 4,200Mbps (2.4Ghz (600Mbps) + 5Ghz (1,200Mbps) + 5Ghz backhaul (2,400Mbps)). The backhaul radio is a dedicated band that connects the two Orbi devices wirelessly and shouldn't be considered in the bandwidth equation but "advertising"... So realistically AX6000 theoretical max bandwidth is 3,600Mbps with the AX4200's is 1,800Mbps.

Best Buy does not sell the wall mount adapter, but they can be purchased from competing online retailers.

Has anyone tried this band with water? Obviously leather isn't usually waterproof, but does anyone have any experience? Maybe it's more water resistant than other leather bands?

It does incorporate a fair amount of glue in its fabrication. I would avoid submersing it in water, but casual washing hands shouldn’t be a problem. Dry it right away as it is prone to retaining odors.

Take astounding photos by using this Apple iPhone SE smartphone. The 4-inch design compacts power and function into an easy-to-use size, and the Retina display makes images vibrant and sharp. This Apple iPhone SE smartphone has a 12MP camera that takes detailed pictures and produces 4K video that can be edited directly from this device.
 

Brand new in box - never activated?

Item description states “pre-owned”. So no, it is not new in box.
