The Cuisinart 6-slice Toaster Oven is an excellent product. I bought this as a gift and I constantly hear how excellent it is. I know this is true, because sometimes I get to eat the food that has been cooked in it. I often hear how well built this machine is and how easy it is to keep clean.

The SANUS Elite Advanced Tilt TV Wall Mount features a revolutionary design, providing 5.9~ of extension on a tilting mount. Large TVs installed on traditional tilting mounts often hit the wall, limiting the maximum tilt that can be achieved. The BXT3 solves this issue by extending from the wall, offering TVs a larger tilt range better glare reduction. This makes the BXT3 the ideal tilting mount for all large TVs. Additionally, because the mount can tilt in 4 directions, cables and wires can be accessed quickly and easily while the TV is still mounted. This makes the initial hook-up and future device switches a quick and easy process.

An Excellent Wall Mount
on February 3, 2024
Posted by: MichaelZ
This is a deluxe wall mount. This Sanus product is designed in a way that allows weight from a very large and very heavy TV set to be evenly distributed so it doesn't destroy studs or drywall.
When I look at some of the wall mounts out there, I see a HUGE TV set hanging from "one" connection, and I think, "It is only a matter of seconds until this thing snaps."
The Sanus Elite TV Wall Mount is excellent because it has multiple connectors with the TV and also connects to the wall in multiple spots. Very even distribution of weight over a large area on both the wall and the TV.
The Wall Mount allows the TV to go up and down to change its angle. The Wall Mount does not allow the TV to swivel from left to right or spin from left to right the way other models of Wall Mounts do. But, this Wall Mount is designed for LARGE TV sets that do not need to be rotated in such a way. When you put a LARGE 65" TV or 75" TV in the room, the TV will simply need to be centered on the wall.

The Best Buy batteries last only a very short length of time. I bought them because they cost less money. But it is such a waste of time changing batteries all the time and having batteries cut out on me when I need them, I would have been better off buying a decent brand.

DO NOT BUY a Boost Mobile Product!
on February 3, 2024
Posted by: MichaelZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Boost Mobile is a SCAM and a rip-off! DO NOT purchase ANY form of long-term plan with Boost Mobile if you subscribe. ONLY purchase on a "Month-to-Month" basis. Otherwise, it is an unnecessary financial risk.
I bought this phone and it was unable to hold a charge. If you walk away and come back in an hour, you will see the phone has 10% less power, even though you never used it!
Best Buy has a 14-day "Return Policy." But "Boost Mobile" has a "Return Policy" of only 10 Days!
This meant when I went to Best Buy to do a return after 11 days, the phone was accepted. But when I called Boost Mobile to cancel the 12-month subscription I had purchased, Boost Mobile was NOT willing to refund my 12-Months of unused service time remaining!
All of this occurred over just ONE DAY! Boost Mobile was unwilling to do any form of "Termination Fee."
Boost Mobile was NOT willing to allow me out of this subscription under ANY circumstance. I asked to speak to multiple supervisors. I talked to Boost Mobile at two different 800 numbers and also online. NONE of the Boost Mobile staff was willing to provide any sort of Refund for the 11 months of unused service.
I encourage you NOT to buy this phone. The product does NOT hold a charge. And the screen is "blurry." The phone is also not user friendly. It is difficult and confusing to even add a "contact."
IF you do decide to do purchase ANY Boost Mobile product, ONLY purchase on a month-by-month basis! NEVER purchase more than one month at a time! If your phone has a defect or you switch phone services, Boost Mobile will force you to pay ALL time remaining - even if it is 11.5 months!
The Boost Mobile phone service is also terrible. A Supervisor named "Elmer" who has the Operator ID of XSU actually hung up on me!

With Peak Brightness 1500 and more than double the local dimming zones as last year, along with Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Low Reflecton panel technology, the U8 delivers unmatched brightness, contrast and detail. And, with Dolby Atmos and an upgraded 50w 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system, the U8 creates an immersive cinema experience in your home. In additon, the U8 is compatible with the new Wifi 6E router protocol and includes a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner making the U8 virtually future-proof. With the Google TV OS and Hands-Free Voice Control, searching for and playing all your favorite content is simple and seamless. Just say ~Hey Google~. The U8 also got more upgrades for the gaming enthusiast including a 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85~ screen size.

The Hisense U8K 75" panel is an excellent IPS-ADS
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: MichaelZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 75" version of the Hisense U8K is excellent. The 75" version is different from the 55" and 65" versions, because the 75" version uses a high-quality IPS-ADS panel. Both the 55" and 65" versions use VA panels, just like most other TV sets like this. The problem with VA panels is they have poor viewing angles when you watch them from the side or even from the top down. The 75" version does not experience this problem, because IPS panels have much better viewing angles.
In the past, VA panels were known for having better "blacks" than the IPS panels. But, that is not the case with the 75" U8K due to the fact that Mini-LED technology is used to provide the lighting. The Mini-LED technology makes sure there are excellent "blacks," even with this IPS-ADS panel.
The "Processing" is also better in this 2023 model than the 2022 model of the TV. When you watch movies or TV shows that have lower bitrates and/or lower resolution, the TV does an excellent job of upconverting the video.
The TV sets from Sony, TCL, and Samsung all use those VA panels with poor viewing angles. It is absurd the way the Sony TV sets cost so much more than then Hisense and TCL TV sets. There is an LG TV that is similar with Mini-LED technology and an IPS panel; however, the LG TV is still more expensive.
The one problem with the Hisense U8K is that it only has two HDMI inputs with the maximum amount of features. The bad thing is that of these two HDMI inputs, one of them is the eARC HDMI. This essentially limits you to only being able to hook up one advanced game system at a time. So far the one and only manufacturer who has figured out that the eARC channel needs to be on a separate input is TCL.
I have read online that it is "possible" for the manufacturers of A/V Receivers to make it so the ARC HDMI inputs can be changed to eARC inputs with a Firmware Update. Unfortunately, even my THX Ultra 2 Onkyo TX-NR5009 A/V Receiver still has only an ARC input. If Onkyo is listening, please fix this with a Firmware Update. I realize this wouldn't make the HDMI 1.4 input compatible with HDR or 120hz gaming; however, a Firmware Update from Onkyo would allow the ARC signal to receive lossless audio signals from the eARC of the Hisense TV.
The only way to get a lossless signal from the eARC of a TV set now if your A/V Receiver has only an ARC input is if you buy some form of "Audio Extractor" device for an HDMI signal. The problem is, reviews show these "Audio Extractors" have many glitches and incompatibilities - especially with the PS5. For example, people say the HDMI Audio Extractor may work properly with a game that has a resolution of 1080p on their PS5, but not if the game runs at a resolution of 1440p.
Overall, the Hisense U8K is a high-quality TV. I'm glad the 75" version uses the IPS-ADS panel, because it allows people to have a Mini-LED panel with excellent viewing angles.

Very poor video quality. Frames skipping all over
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: MichaelZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
The video quality of Married With Children in this DVD series is very poor. There are several reasons for this. First, Married With Children had 11 seasons. They pack all of these episodes into only 21 DVDs. As a result, the Bitrate of each episode is lower than it should be. This results in a very low video quality where frames are missing and the resolution looks low. Second, these DVDs are using an "interlaced" signal rather than a "progressive" signal. Again, this makes it so the frames are skipping all the time. Members of my family asked, "Why does it look like they are skipping all the time?" The reason why is the combination of an interlaced signal and low bitrate. This series doesn't cost very much, but it is a testament to the concept of "You pay for what you get." They should have increased the number of DVDs in order to increase the bitrate of each episode and make it so each episode was progressive rather than interlaced. Even if your DVD player and TV use 3:2 Pulldown technology, it doesn't eliminate the problem. It just minimizes the damage. I have heard there is a different version of this series that is on more discs with a higher bitrate, and I have seen it online. But, it is very difficult to find to purchase anywhere.

Excellent Blu-Ray Series and Cool Statue of Ash
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: MichaelZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was always a BIG fan of the movie Army of Darkness. I thought the Evil Dead series was a bit violent, but I absolutely LOVED Army of Darkness. I really enjoyed this TV show called Ash vs Evil Dead - although, I wish it would have been more of a "Ash vs Army of Darkness" with less violence and gore. The Blu-ray series is great. The video quality and sound quality are excellent. The price at Best Buy is quite a bit higher than other stores, though. You are paying entirely for the bobblehead statue. I think it is a cool statue, but if I would have known I could have bought the Blu-ray series for literally half the price at other places, I probably would have just bought the Blu-ray series elsewhere. It also comes with a cool Blu-ray Digital download if you are into that.

2 out of 5Half dark screen problem
By EricG
Honestly, I'm giving two stars instead of one because the tv looks great watching movies, playing ps5, and anything else. My problem is I bought the tv in August and I had to have it replaced in October because half the screen was darker then the other half. The new tv was put up and installed by geek squad I thought easy fix. Here we are a month and a day since I got the replacement tv and the exact same thing happened again. I guess I just got unlucky maybe but now I'll have to deal with best buy and get another tv and wait a week before I get another one.

Best Buy did NOT replace my Hisense U8K
November 23, 2023
I bought the Hisense U8K 75" version. The number of technical glitches is TERRIBLE. My TV had the exact same problems you have described - and many others. For example, the USB input allows you to play movies when the card is formatted in NTFS mode. However, if you watch the movie for a certain length of time and expect to come back and finish watching the movie after watching the news or watching the movie the next day, you will see a HUGE problem. When you push either "Play" or "OK" on the remote control in order to start watching the movie again, the movie will play for about one-tenth of a second, and then automatically shut itself off. This is TERRIBLE.
Another problem is if you try to play mp4 or mkv movies that do not include Subtitles, after a while you will randomly see the "Chapter" number pop up. I have this on video. There is nothing on the screen, and then suddenly you see "Chapter 5." The words "Chapter 5" then stay on the screen the entire time, until it changes to "Chapter 6." Then you see "Chapter 6" the entire time until "Chapter 7" is visible. The only way to get rid of this is if you select "Menu," and then turn "Subtitles" Off, even though that is not technically a "Subtitle." The problem is when you watch an MKV move that actually does have Subtitles. The "Chapter" words would be visible OVER the actual "Subtitles" that are meant to be seen!!!
Another glitch is with movies that were ripped into the resolution of 1280x720p that included the aspect ratio of 2.35:1 with black bars at the top and bottom. When you watch these movies with the USB card, the Hisense U8K always "Stretches" the movie vertically in all settings - which is NOT the way the movies were originally meant to be seen. This causes the movies to look TERRIBLE. For example, a "Circle" because an "Elliptical" on the screen, and does NOT look normal.
Another glitch is that when you leave a USB card in the Hisense U8K with the intent of watching movies the next day, you will notice that when you turn the Power button "On," the TV will say, "Ejecting USB Device." That is STUPID. Why in the world would I want the USB Device "Ejected" when I am turning the Power "On" with the intent to watch movies. Ironically, the USB device is still selectable as an "Input," even though the TV just told you the USB card was just "Ejected." But, don't count on watching any movie you have previously tried to watch. The FIRST time you watch a movie, the TV will allow you to watch the movie. But AFTER THAT, you will only see the movie for about one-tenth of a second before the TV turns the movie off.
Another glitch was very severe. I have no idea why it occurred. I have a large 256GB USB 3.0 card from a company called Silicon Power. Multiple PCs confirmed there is nothing wrong with this USB card, and there are no errors. The device is formatted in NTFS. I connected the USB card to the TV, and then suddenly I got a message telling me, "Android Error. Your USB card may contain data that is corrupt." The options on the screen said, "Try Again, Press Any Button" and "To Do a System Restart, Hold Any Button." ... Fair enough. ... The problem is, NO BUTTON WORKED AT ALL!!! ... This message was STUCK ON THE SCREEN!!!
I eventually decided to unplug the AC Adapter from the TV in order to do a "Soft Reset." I waited a few minutes before plugging the TV back in. But when I plugged the TV back in, this "Error" message was still on the screen!
I then needed to do TWO HOURS of research online before I found out how to do the "Hard Reset" for the U8K. On the back of the TV near the HDMI Inputs, there is a small hole that says "Reset." If you insert a paperclip into this hole and press it for several seconds, there will be a "Hard Reset" done to put every setting back to the original specifications of the manufacturer. This removed the "Android Error" message from the screen; however, the other errors I spoke of continued to exist.
There are also many other errors, such as the fact that the eARC/ARC channel does NOT work properly on HDMI Input 3. The TV refuses to allow you to select "eARC/ARC" as the Sound Output if you select "Enhanced" on HDMI Input 3. You can only select "TV Speakers" or "Optical." The choice of "ARC" is NOT selectable. If you change TV Input 3 from "Enhanced" to either "Standard" or "Auto," the TV will suddenly allow "HDMI ARC" to be selected so you can press "Home" and listen to things such as YouTube and Netflix as a Sound Output.
Another error was virtually unbelievable, but it happened. On Comcast, when I would select the "XFinity" button, the Comcast menu on the screen would initially say "Guide." There were no problems. I would then press the "right" arrow so the Comcast menu on the screen would then say "Saved." I would then press the "right" arro so the Comcast menu on the screen would then say, "On Demand." At that point, the HDMI Input 3 of the U8K TV would stop working. I would suddenly see a message from the U8K TV that said, "No Signal or Weak Signal. Check Your HDMI Connections."
This would happen EVERY time the "On Demand" option was selected. Initially, the only way I found to cause this message from the TV to go away was to unplug the HDMI cable, and then plug the HDMI cable back in to the TV. When I would do this, Comcast would be fine and the DVR would still be "On Demand." I later found ways around this - all of which were very annoying.
For example, I found if you press "Input" on the TV remote control in order to select a "Different" Input, and then come back to the Input of TV Input 3, the message saying, "No Signal or Weak Signal. Check Your HDMI Connections" was gone. The screen would again be saying, "On Demand." Then, just for the heck of it, I decided to select "HDMI Input 3," even though the TV was already on HDMI Input 3. When I did this, the screen message saying, "No Signal or Weak Signal. Check Your HDMI Connections" disappeared and I could once again see "On Demand." This indisputably confirmed the problem was a technical glitch in the Hisense TV. People should NOT have to press the "Input" button on the TV remote control every time the Comcast remote control reaches the option of "On Demand."
I then tested the TV with different HDMI cables that were fully certified and shorter distances. The exact same problems occurred. There is no doubt the HDMI cables are NOT the cause of these problems.
At a later point in time, the problems with the Comcast incompatibility stopped taking place. Comcast has Firmware Updates on a daily basis. I'm wondering if one of my reports to Comcast Technical Support is the reason why this particular glitch stopped taking place. Hisense needs to release Firmware Updates to fix the other problems I have described, too.
Best Buy absolutely REFUSED to either "Exchange" this TV or do any form of "Refund" or "Store Credit." I told Best Buy "Store Credit" would be fine. I just want a DIFFERENT type of TV, because this TV is TERRIBLE the way it doesn't even let me play USB movies!!!
The initial person I spoke with from Best Buy said, "I would be glad to give you store credit." But when she put me on hold, she came back saying "The team at Geek Squad will not allow this Return or Exchange." I was then told my problem would be "Escalated" and I would receive a return call from "Corporate Best Buy." I got the phone call the next day; however, I wish I hadn't, because the Best Buy Corporate representative was so rude.
An incredibly RUDE woman named "Helena" told me I was NOT going to be allowed to Return or Exchange the Hisense TV set. I asked to speak to the Supervisor of Helena, but Helena said, "I don't have a Supervisor; I am Best Buy Corporate." I said, "So you are in Minnesota?" But Helena did not respond to that. I said, "Well, I guess I will need to take this matter to the Board of Best Buy Corporate." Helena then hung up on me. For the record, I have that entire conversation on audio recording. I never swore, I never raised my voice, and I was 100% professional the entire time.
BOTTOM LINE: I am never going to purchase another produce from Best Buy again. I'm not even using this Best Buy Visa Credit Card anymore, because I don't want those "Rewards" that expire anyways.
The hypocrisy from Best Buy is terrible. I never would have needed to buy this U8K TV if Best Buy would have simply "Delivered" the LG TV I ordered over a year ago. For an entire YEAR, I would be told, "Your LG TV is scheduled for Delivery." I waited home with my family all day on each day of scheduled delivery, but Best Buy would never show up. Every time this happened, I would call Best Buy and say, "Why did you not deliver the TV?" I was always told, "The TV must not have been on the truck. We will need to schedule a new date for Delivery." This happened MANY TIMES!!! Eventually, after an ENTIRE YEAR, Best Buy called and said, "That product is no longer in stock, so we need to cancel the order."
Even after I went through a YEAR of waiting on Best Buy to deliver the LG TV set, I end up hearing from Best Buy, "We are NOT going to Exchange this Hisense TV or give Store Credit at Best Buy."

Back up important files securely with this black WD easystore desktop hard drive. The 22TB capacity provides ample space for archives and videos, while the USB 3.0 connectivity provides broad compatibility with most Windows and Mac devices. This WD easystore desktop hard drive features plug-and-play functionality for a quick, simple setup.
Why is Best Buy saying the "Deal of the Day" Price for this is $149 and that it normally sells for $175? That is a LIE! This normally sells for $149 and usually sells for $139 or $129 when it is on sale for Deal of the Day! Best Buy is a RIP OFF now!

How long is the battery supposed to last when used and when not used? This phone was delivered in the cold and would not hold a charge. I exchanged for one in the store. But that one also barely holds a charge. How do I get a decent battery?

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85~ screen size.
Hisense, are you aware the U8K app called "Media Center" has glitches in need of a Firmware Update? If you watch a movie from a USB card, you see it the first time. But try to watch again and the U8K shuts the movie off after one second. Please fix this.

The perfect choice for creators, IT professionals or everyday users, the latest 870 EVO has indisputable performance, reliability and compatibility built upon Samsung~s pioneering technology.
DO NOT BUY! Why is Best Buy selling the Samsung 1TB SSD for $59.99 & 2TB SSD for $129.99? Those products previously sold for $49.99 and $99.99 at other points in the year. Best Buy LIES by saying "Black Friday Deal." This a TERRIBLE price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start your system in seconds, store up to 2TB of your irreplaceable files, and upgrade with a drive you can count on. Improve your system with the Crucial~ MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, an SSD built on quality, speed, and security that~s all backed by helpful service and support. It~s worth it.
QUESTION FOR BEST BUY: Does it bother Best Buy that I've once again kept my promise NOT to buy from Best Buy as a result of Best Buy NOT giving me an "Exchange" or "Store Credit" for the worthless Hisense U8K that has so many technical problems?

For those looking for the best in the latest television technologies, the U8H should be a top contender. The most exciting 2022 upgrade is Mini-LED. With Mini-LEDs that are 50x smaller than traditional LED lights, local dimming and contrast control reproduce incredible black and white levels within the same scene like never before in the series. The U8H is now compatible with the Wifi 6e router protocol. Streaming from the wide selection of Google TV apps is now easier and smoother when connected to a dedicated router channel that won~t be competing with other connected devices on the same router. For gamers, the U8H now comes equipped with Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for enhanced gaming picture contrast and even smoother, tear-free motion. And lastly, the U8H now comes with a 2-year warranty and is available in a 75~ screen size. 2021 was a huge year for the Hisense U8H series and with so many upgrades, 2022 looks to be just as promising.
Reviews of this TV criticize its "Processing." The reviews claim this deals with "Digital Noise" and "Upconversion." This matters to me, because I have many 1080p Blu-rays, 480p DVDs and 720p Cable. I have little 4K content. How is its "Processing"?
I'm not interested in spending so much money on a TV that cannot do "Processing" in order to upconvert signals. As I said, I watch a lot of 720p Comcast, a lot of 1080p Blu-rays, and even a lot of 480i DVDs, because so many programs are on DVD but not even on Blu-ray yet. It is very disappointing that Hisense would come up short in that particular area. This TV is said to be a "Mid-Level" TV. Do you know the model of the "High-Level" TV from Hisense, and when it will be released?
