Decent Dashcam (Once you figure it out)
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decent dashcam though maybe a bit overpriced considering the technology hardware that you get. Apparently there are other dashcams you can get for a similar price that are superior (A119 V3 2K).
This dashcam comes with the hardwire tools option which I decided to go for this time becuase I wanted to save my electrical port for a USB charger. It was not too difficult to install after I watched a few YouTube videos but definitely took a bit longer than I thought it would so give yourself some time. The instructions are a bit lacking to say the least.
Once you fire it up spend some time in the menu figuring out all the camera options because the instructions don't really tell you much. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the rear dash cam up and running because the instructions don't really go into this.
The app that comes with it is pretty handy in case you need to show some video footage to a police officer or something on the scene. Again... spend some time practicing this because its kind of difficult to figure out.
Even if you don't get THIS dashcam, definitely make the $100 investment somewhere because it will save you a hell of a headache later if you get into an accident where you are not at fault. 1 Bad experience and this camera will pay for itself 20x over between deductibles and increased rates.

Expensive - Ethernet Option is Great - Finicky
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked the Chromecast Ultra up to complement my Roku Ultra becuase Roku consistently has contract disputes with several media companies which results in the loss of the channel/content on their service. It is also very helpful if you want to cast your computer screen/chrome tab to a television.
To be honest, I do not use it very often but it is very useful for streaming content from my computer when necessary which is my primary use. The ethernet port is great, but disappointing that I had to spring $70 for the Ultra because it is the only option that has the ethernet port option. The connections are stable through ethernet and offer 4k resolution.
I have to troubleshoot this device more than I would like and the process for reinstalling is a bit of a pain. Last week I wasn't getting audio for some reason and the only solution after spending 30 minutes trying many other options was to reset to factory settings. This process requires that I re-add the device to my Google Home app on my phone and go through the setup menu. Not that bad I guess if I had just done this initially becuase I feel I am pretty tech savy but this might be a pain for the less technically inclined for how often this can happen.
The wireless connection when I cast from my phone can be a bit spotty but I think that has more to do with the specific app and not the Chromecast becuase netflix and a few other apps seem to work no problem.
I'd recommend this only if you really want the ethernet/4k option and honestly if you have most of the content you want on a Roku and don't need to cast from your computer I might just go with that. If a chromecast is absolutely necessary go with a cheaper one.

Solid Mid-Sized Case
on July 30, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this case up for my nephew doing his first build from scratch and we're pretty happy with it. It is not so large that it's difficult to move or put under a desk and has enough room inside for multiple drives and video cards if that's what is needed. The appearance is pretty slick and the colorful LED fans are pretty cool if a bit much in the dark. The noise could be a little quieter, but you could buy quiter fans and install those if you need to. I would definitely get this case again if I had another build in mind.
The only drawback this case might have is that it was a little bit expensive at $99.99 before tax and fees. You could find a similar case with similar features for around $80 if you look around. Because everybody is building gaming machines to stay inside during the pandemic this was our only choice.

Marketing is a bit sketchy but otherwise good
on January 11, 2020
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is advertized as a 10TB drive, but only a little over 9TB is usable. I understand this is how the drive is formatted, but I think the manucfacturers across the board could be more forthcoming with this information. Otherwise, this drive works great to backup all my family photos and home movies. I was able to purchase it at a great price over the holidays at $159.99 and because this price reduction is frequent I highly recommend you wait for the deal to come around again!

Smaller - Works Great
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
This tablet is even smaller than I expected because I own an older 7 inch Google Nexux 7 (2013) that this is meant to replace. Over all I'm still happy with the purchase, just know that 7 inches for some manufactureres is not the same for all...
Samsung products are generally great and this tablet is no exception. The interface is quick and easy to use and I had no problem getting setup and moving my favorite apps onto this new tablet. I'd certainly recommend it.

Awesome TV - Easy Setup and Looks Great!
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I returned a similar LG TV in order to purchase this one as I was having so many problems getting the LG TV to work with my "smart" home. I highly receommend going with this Samsung TV as it looks amazing and was really easy to setup. I appreciate that so many 3rd parties have developed apps that directly work with the Samsung TVs and that was a major difference when compared to the LG TV I purchased before. It has been claimed that this TV doesnt have the best blacks when compared to LG, but this looks great!

Many Options - Looks Great!
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
After using laundromats for years its really awesome to have a washer with so many options! I can wash whites, delicates, bedding and everything else you can imagine with specific settings! I don't really use the 'prewash' option yet, but I've tried it out and it seems like it could be useful if I needed to do a pre-scrub clean for a stain or something. I'm doing more laundry than ever now that I "feel" like I'm doing it for free and it does such a great job! It also looks great in my garage!

OK Value - Required for Rebate
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to purchase this as part of having bestbuy install my appliances. The local utility required that I have professional installation in order to qualify for a rebate and this was the easiest way to have that done. The parts cost as much as they might at a home improvement store so ultimately this isn't that bad... and you're not totally "hosed". Just do it and get it out of the way!

Feels Smaller, but thats because there are 3 racks
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using this dishwasher for about a month now and ultimately I am very happy with it. The functions are various, it looks great in my kitchen and it does the job. The only thing that bothers me is that it feels like I have less room than I'm used to and that is because this dishwasher has a 3rd rack on top for utensiles. I've removed some of the utensile holders on the bottom rack to make more room but it does still feel a little bit cramped sometimes. Just keep this in mind when making your selection and you should be happy if this is something you are prepared for!

By Stephen
I was pretty angry that the interface comes locked and you can’t even turn it on until activating it on their website, which their activation process requires you to sign up for the free trial and asks for a credit card number before it will unlock it. I would have never bought it if I knew I had to jump through so many hoops just to use it, and I would have given it zero stars if the site would let me.

I saw this went on sale last week and didn't pull the trigger. I appreciate you providing this information regarding the hoops we have to jump through just to use the treadmill we already purchased.
