Decent. Think I Will Buy Outside Antenna
on May 4, 2020
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 2 of these for a friend's house. I installed them strictly according to the instructions. I was able to get about 15 channels at least partially, but only about 5 clearly.
I moved the antennae around the rooms to get the best reception possible, but still could only get 5 clearly. It seems that locally (Orlando, FL area), the Spanish stations come in quite clearly. Unfortunately, that does me little good. Of the 5 clear ones, 3 were all Spanish language.
I think I need to purchase an outside one. I think this one does well under the best of circumstances. I installed these inside of a house, near the window on one, inside the home for the other, near the ceiling.
I think these would be a good deal for the price, with a high enough placement at a window facing the right direction, but for my friends, it didn't meet expectations.
I could recommend it, but only depending upon the circumstances.

My son loves it, therefore I love it
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my 11 year-old son. I recently built him a gaming computer and needed the accessories. The computer case has lights, so I figured this would go well with it.
It connected right away with no problems. He has been using the bundle now for about a month. He uses it many times (maybe too many) a week. My 12 year-old uses it, also.
They both are very happy with the items. They use the mouse and headset mostly, and of course, the pad. My son thinks the lights are very cool and match his case lights.
I have had no problems and this does just what I need.
It would be even better if the items were wireless, but I understand the wired items are good for gaming.
I do recommend this.

Had Just What I Needed
on January 17, 2020
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was building a computer for my son. I was putting the motherboard onto the case and realized I didn't have the screws necessary. I thought they would've come with the case. I was going nuts looking for the right sized screws.
I looked on several sites but, couldn't find the screws; not without having to wait several days for them to be shipped. It was late and the hardware store closest to me was closed. I saw this on the Best Buy site and gave it a try.
Oh Yeah, this kit had the screws I needed. as a bonus for me, it had a tool I could use to remove the processor from the board. Unfortunately for me, I had to do that, and it wasn't easy without this tool.
I like this kit, and will certainly find other uses for it.
I only wish it also had a curved set of needle-nose pliers; that would've made it virtually perfect.
I do recommend it.

My Son Likes It, So, It Serves Its Purpose
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
My 12 year-old wanted this for Christmas. He has played it and keeps playing it over a week later, which is more than I can say for most video games he gets.
To me, the game play looks no different than the older versions, but, I am not the one playing it.
The music is good, and the graphics are fine.
I would recommend it just based on the fact that it has kept my son's attention past a week.

Love this movie, 4k makes it even better
on December 29, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
I remember the original "Black Hawk Down" battle; I was waiting to see how this would be brought to the screen. I was not disappointed. The grit was well portrayed, the score was on target, the visuals were darned good, too.
Yes, some characters were completely made up; the movie is a "movie", not a documentary, after all, but, it captured the feel of the real thing quite well.
The 4K version is beautiful. Would recommend seeing this version. At least see it in 1080P. Anything less and you miss the great cinematography.

Would say 4.5 stars. Good movie
on December 29, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 4K video is pretty darned good. I saw it in "regular" 1080P and liked it. Figured in 4K it would be even better. It is.
The movie itself is well worth buying, either Blu-ray or 4K disc. It is well-written and acted; not perfect, but, pretty good. Some of the dialogue was a little corny, but, overall, I really like this movie.
I also bought Sicario 2, which I also like; not as much as the original, but, still like.

Really good sequel
on December 28, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Day of the Soldado is a really good sequel; not quite as good as the original, though. Sicario (original) had enough humor to balance out the gritty; Day of the Soldado is plainly grittier (little to no humor). I understand and appreciate that but, it is a difference.
I do like the score better in Day of the Soldado; "The Beast" is a haunting score; too bad it's only at the end.
Overall, I give it 4 stars; well worth buying.

It's a good TV for the kid's room
on December 13, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the 2nd of these TVs I have bought for my home. I already have one in another kid's room. I have owned that one for several months. The size is very nice for the room. The picture is bright and sound is good. The only problem I have encountered is, my son says the picture is "laggy" when he is streaming. He tries to go watch other TVs in the house, instead of his own, when that happens.
The home wifi has plenty of bandwidth, so, it shouldn't be that. Hope this one is better.

Really good movie
on August 30, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Endgame is a really good, fun, movie. Not quite great, but, really good.
The storyline was intricate; almost too much so, I thought.
I like the Thanos character better in this one than in Infinity Wars.
It is definitely a movie in which you catch more tidbits if you watch it again.
I must say I was a little disappointed in the video quality of the 4K disc; I have an LG OLED TV and was expecting to be bowled over by the quality, and, I wasn't.
Overall, I would say this is a very good movie, just not great, as I was expecting it to be.

Looks beautiful, performs so-so
on June 12, 2019
Posted by: TheBBM
from Ocoee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this refrigerator, the oven, microwave, and dishwasher together. The refrigerator looks special; the stainless steel is nice, the handles look sturdy (more on that later), and the shelving looks upscale (more on that, also).
I have had this for over 1 1/2 years now. The handle on the freezer section comes loose; it takes an hex key wrench (not included) to tighten it from the outside underneath. Then, it comes loose again with regular use.
The freezer section frosts up the door jamb, causing the door to not seal as well as it should. I have to take a knife and chisel off the ice every month or so.
The shelves do a good job of containing spills. Problem is, the filter doesn't seal all that well, causing water to leak from the filter area onto food and shelves, sometimes several times a day.
Also, the top shelf needs to have one more notch to go up; it doesn't accommodate a large pitcher of tea or a 2 liter bottle. I have to have taller items at the front and shorter items at the back. I have the top shelf (it is a 1/2 shelf) all the way up top and the 2 liter bottle sitting on the base.
The ice maker is NOISY! The removable ice bin freezes in place and is quite difficult to remove at times. I am afraid I will break it, therefore end up scooping ice instead of removing and dumping ice when I need large quantities. The bin is rather small, also.
The water tastes good from the dispenser. When the filter is changed, one must run about 10 gallons through it to get to the clear water, though. I use the filters from the KitchenAid and/or Best Buy site.
Overall, for the amount this costs, I can't heartily recommend this refrigerator. I think the Whirlpool version might give the same features for hundreds less.
Also, the extended warranty, which I bought once, costs as much as a new, cheaper refrigerator itself.

Why is it better?
October 10, 2020
I am thinking of buying the 3rd gen one, but why is it so much better than the older ones that it justifies $249 vs $99? I don't have either, yet and wonder which to buy.

Will this work w/Yamaha MCR-B020 w/Bluetooth bookshelf stereo cd/am/fm/aux? This will apparently play Bluetooth sources, i.e. smartphones, etc, but I'm guessing it's not gonna send Bluetooth wireless signal out to a speaker?! Will it accept speaker-wires?

I was wondering if anyone had tried both the WAVE 2 Bluetooth Insignia speaker and the Insignia Speaker 2 portable bluetooth speaker. I am interested in the comparison between the two. Sound quality, durabililty, how well liked? Thanks
I have both the WAVE 2 and the BRICK 2 speakers. Both are good values, I think. The Brick 2 was $10 more and, for that, I think it is worth it. The Brick 2 is louder (not by a whole lot, but, noticeably), lasts longer by a few hours, and has deeper bass.
The WAVE 2 is much louder than I thought it would be, though, while maintaining sound quality. Both link up to Bluetooth very well. Both stay linked up for at least 25 feet inside a building.
