Nice detail in 4K
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: John3976
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little disappointed in this video because it uses some of the same content from the Planet Earth II series, they use Robert Redford to narrate this video but the using of content from videos they have already done was a bad decision. Still the video had nice detail in 4K just know that if you already own Planet Earth II video you are getting some of the same content in this video.

Fun movie for kids, entertaining, the colors and detail do not transfer as well to 4K as they did with Cars 2 and Cars 3 but it is still a nice movie to have in your 4K collection.
This is a must have movie for those with children or grand children.

You and your guests know good taste is about more than big flavors. Thanks to LG's sleek slide-in induction range with ProBake Convection, you won't just entertain - you'll wow. The generous 6.3 cu. ft. capacity oven handles that impressive roast and all the accompaniments, while ProBake Convection achieves baking perfection. And with the SmoothTouch glass controls and induction technology focusing the heat towards the bottom of the cookware only, it guarantees you quick and even heating as well as energy savings, and safe operation from start to finish.

LG LSE4616ST Induction Top Convection Oven
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: John3976
Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased this range in November 2020 when it was on sale so we saved $700.00 dollars on it, the induction burners are amazing, they allow you to control the heat immediately up or down resulting in better prepared food. We have Allclad Copper Core Stainless Steal pots and pans and with this induction cook top food just tastes better. The oven is very good as well, it preheats very fast and it cooks very well. We made cookies in it and they came out perfect no over baked bottoms like our old range would do. Water will boil in no time at all when on boost for the burners. We are very pleased with this induction/convection range and would recommend it.
Prices are still on the high side so if you can get it when a sale is going on it makes it a better deal but induction cook tops are the way to go.

Samsung~s dryers have advanced features like Sensor Dry, which optimizes cycle time and temperature to thoroughly dry without damaging your clothes. Also, with 7.5 cu. ft. capacity and 10 preset drying cycles, you can do fewer loads in less time and fulfill almost every drying need.

Drys good but Samsung denied the warranty
on September 5, 2020
Posted by: John3976
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Samsung dryer and while it dries good and could be a five star product I have to give a 1 star rating. As everyone knows with all the restrictions due to Covid-19 buying products has changed. We ordered this from Best Buy online and had it delivered to our home.
When it was hooked up and turned on it made a loud knocking sound. I found a bracket that has a small plastic wheel that the belt ride on to spin the dryer drum. I had to bend that bracket towards the front of the dryer to stop the knocking noise.
The second issue was when I registered the dryer with Samsung for the warranty Samsung has denied the warranty registration. Samsung is saying I have to have a letter head receipt with an itemized break down the companies name on their store number and or store number.
Well the Best Buy receipt is itemized but it does not have Best Buy in a letter head format on it nor does it show a store number or phone number.
So Samsung says sorry no warranty for you.
Due to this poor policy by Samsung who sells many products through Best Buy we will never again buy a Samsung product. So buyer beware, Samsung looks for any way to deny your registration warranty coverage.

Nice design form factor great upgrade
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: John3976
Purchased this Amazon Fire tablet in white for my wife on 11/08/2019 because her old 7 inch Amazon Fire tablet is getting old and the battery is showing its age. Set up of the 10.1 inch tablet was quick and easy only taking a few minutes.
The screen looks very good and is bright, my wife reads books on her tablets and she really likes the quality of the screen on this tablet. I did add a 128 GB micro SD card to go with the 32 GB of internal storage. Her old 7 inch tablet was almost out of storage and she had had it for several years.
The interface works well and it has not shown any laggy performance. I just can’t justify spending $949.99 for an Apple iPad when this Amazon Fire 10.1 inch tablet is such good deal and does everything my wife’s needs it to.
I do recommend purchasing a glass screen protector and the Amazon branded case as it fits like a glove keeping the tablet nice and thin. The weight is also nice and light.
Best Buy purchase of this tablet was quick and easy in the Ft. Myer’s store.

About Don Aronow but lacking real facts
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: John3976
from Florida
Verified Purchase:Yes
An ok movie about Don Aronow but really lacking in facts, one thing they did was changed the first name from Don to Ben, that was in very poor taste because the name of the man who put the hit on Don Aronow is Ben Kramer who is serving a life sentence in prison for ordering the murder/hit of Don Aronow.
This was really a lost opportunity to have done a really great documentary of Don Aronow. While we will never know the full truth it is no secrete that Don Aronow had dealings with some very bad people, George H.W. Bush who was the Vice President at the time made a deal with Don Aronow to build the government boats that would be as fast or faster as the boats the drug smugglers were using that were built by Don Aronow.
Ben Kramer bought the boat company from Done Aronow that had the contract to build those boats for the government but when the government found out about the change of ownership and Ben Kramers criminal back ground they canceled the contract that worth upwards of one hundred million dollars.
Ben Kramer was very upset about that and he arranged for the murder/hit on Don Aronow.
The movie falls far short of getting this story correct but if you ignore everything they got wrong it is a decent movie.

Update on our LG induction cook top range
June 18, 2023
We have now owned this range for over 2 1/12 years now and it is awesome, the induction cook top is easy to clean with spray ceramic cook top cleaner sprays, what makes it easy to clean is because the cook top itself does not get as hot as a normal ceramic flat top range. Clean up is only 10 to 15 seconds and your induction cook top is clean. LG did a fantastic job on this induction cook top range and the oven works just as good with its temp control.
You won't go wrong with this LG LSE4616ST Induction Top Convection Oven. We highly recommend it.

If you think a refrigerator with top-of-the-line features means sacrificing style or space, this will make you reconsider. With nearly 25 cu. ft. of space, this 33" wide refrigerator has a large capacity. It also has Smart Cooling technology built-in, designed to help keep your food fresher. With that, and much more, you get the peace-of-mind of a 10-year warranty on the Smart Inverter Compressor.

LG Fridge
By Mike
Overall LG makes a great product and no exception with this fridge, The only thing missing on this fridge for those of you that like filtered water is a spot to get water, it has an icemaker so why not include a filter water spout.

LG makes other models with water and ice in door
June 24, 2023
You do know that LG makes other models with ice and water in the door right? Further the two biggest repair problems for refrigerators is those water and ice dispensers. For the best reliability you do not want water and ice dispensers in the door. There are some good review sites that explain this in detail. I just purchased LG refrigerator and picked it because it does not have water and ice in the door.

Magnets and stainless steel
June 24, 2023
There are different grades of stainless steel, the best grades are not magnetic while the lessor grades of stainless are magnetic. We have a Bosch micro wave and it uses the higher grade stainless steel and is not magnetic, it was manufactured in 2007 and still going strong. We just purchased a Bosch 800 series dishwasher and it uses a lower grade of stainless steel as it is magnetic. If this LG stainless steel refrigerator will allow a magnet to stick then it is using a lower grade stainless steel, there is nothing wrong with that as the higher the grade of stainless steel the more it costs.

Expand your cooking options with this Bosch over-the-counter convection microwave, which features a multi-speed vent for comfortable cooking. The stainless interior ensures even heating, and true convection heating replicates the actions of an oven.

Where do I find the F/ Serial Number?

Open the door and you will find a white label on the top left front of microwave frame as you are facing it, the model and serial number are located on this label with other information.

How do I turn on the task lights and the exhaust fan for the stove top below?

There is a button for tuning on the lights and the fan, you just push the light button once for its bright setting and push it again for the night light setting and push it one more time to turn off the lights. The fan button works the same way you push it to turn on the fan and push again to change the speed of the fan and push it again to turn off the fan.

Does this work with the same mounting bracket and top vent position as the Bosch HMV5053U? My HMV5053U just died and they are not available for order. I'd like to make reinstallation as easy as possible and use the existing mount and vent.

I am going to say no because we had the HMV9305/01 Bosch 1.8 cu ft microwave and this Bosch 800 Series is the replacement for that old Bosch series. The back bracket is different size wise, the same basic design but just enough different our old HMV9305/01 wall bracket did not work and we had to install the new wall bracket in place of the old one. Also the top mounting holes for the three top mounting screws are not in the same exact locations so you will have to drill three new holes.

I have a cut out in my kitchen to put a microwave oven. With this over the range microwave convection oven, what issues might I have to install or ventilate it.

The install is straight forward, no gotcha issues, there is a plate that mounts to the wall behind the microwave that has a lip on the bottom of the plate. Once the plate is installed on the wall the back of the microwave has a lip that will connect with the lip on the plate so you install it with the front are a downward angle then rotate the microwave upward to the bottom of the cabinet above it. You have drilled holes for the three mounting screws to go through the bottom floor of the cabinet and a larger holt for the plug and cord to fit through so you can plug the microwave into the 110 volt electric receptacle that powers the microwave. The unit does weigh just over 50 pounds so pull out your range so you can lift the microwave into place and have a help to insert the top mounting screws and pull the plug through its hole so it does not get pinched.

Since the dimensions are not exactly the same, will this 800 series fit properly (without any gaps on the sides) as a replacement for the Bosch HMV9305/01?

Yes this is a direct replacement size wise for the old Bosch HMV9305/01 microwave, they are both a 1.8 cu ft and the outer dimensions are very close to each other, any gap will be very small as this Bosch 800 Series is designed to fit in the same size cutout.

The interior of the 800 Series has a 14 inch rotating glass plate vs the old HMV9305/01 on having a 12 inch rotating glass plate so you will get more interior room with the Bosch 800 Series microwave.

can you toast bread in this microwave

No it is not a toaster and does not have an exposed heating element, it does have a convection oven so you could make frozen Texas toast style bread in it using the convection oven feature.

If the unit vents to room while mounted underneath a cabinet where does the airflow come out into the room? Is it out the top in the front part of the microwave not covered by a cabinet?

Yes the air will vent from the top front of the microwave blowing upwards.
