Good Communication, On Time and Easy
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
The subcontractor that my local BestBuy used was great for helping deliver and install several appliances I ordered a week earlier. They called me ahead of time to schedule a delivery window and when they showed up did everything you could ask in getting the appliances installed correctly. They showed me a few tips and let me know what I should do in order to "break in" the appliances and made sure everything worked before they left. I'd recommend delivery to anyone getting a big appliance... you dont want to handle this yourself.

Standard Gas Line at OK Price
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the gas line as a requirement for having Bestbuy install the appliances at my home. I would have installed the appliance myself as it is fairly simple but my local utility company requires that I get "professional installation" in order to qualify for the rebate. So since I had to buy a gas line anyway and it made the move in process a little easier I decided to go with the best buy professional installation option. Gas lines are very similarly priced at Home Depot and other home improvement stores so you aren't getting completely 'hosed' here.

Overheating Messages. Replacing Today. Expensive.
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
As far as the functionality and usability of this Roku its fantastic when it works. Unfortunately I have been receiving the occasional overheating messages even though the Roku is on an open shelf with nothing else around it. I've decided to return it today and see if maybe I just received a bad Roku.
When compared to the Chromecast I think the Roku is great in that it offers compatibility with a lot more services and is really easy to use. It does not have connectivity problems I have encountered with the Chromecast.
I really like the ethernet option for the Ultra, which helps in streaming 4k and keeping my wireless router from being overloaded. I do think that $100 is too much for the "ultra" option which in reality doesn't seem to offe much more than the ethernet capability.

Works Great! Not sure what's so different from V1
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I received the 2nd Gen Nest Mini with another purchase and am happy that not all that much has changed from the first version. I am told the speaker is a bit different and it has a different proprietary power cable (not so happy about that) but I am unable to tell the difference too much. I mostly use my Sonos One for listening to music and the Nest Mini is mostly a backup device. Setup is really easy through the Google Home app and alltogether I was happy to receive this for free. I am not sure I would pay $50 which is the advertized price for this item and I think $20-30 would be more appropriate.

Great upgrade from older thermostat
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Nest Thermostat E while I was upgrading the rest of my home to the 'smart' capabilities Google and Nest offer. For the price I'm very pleased since it is very easy to setup, control remotely and has a very nice look to it in my living room. Make sure to check for rebates in your area as I was able to recover almost the entire cost of my thermostat through rebates being offered by local utilities.
One thing to mention is it seems that the online installation instructions are out of date. The Nest website mentions that it will show you which cables to connect to what based on what you tell it but that wasn't the case for me. Luckily my installation was really easy in that I had only a few cables that had the exact same labels as those that were needed for the Nest thermostat.

Works as advertized but very overpriced
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the temperature sensor when I decided to install a Nest Thermostat E for my home. It was really easy to connect to the Nest app and does its job very well reporting the temperature of my upstairs rooms away from the thermostat. My main problem with this is the cost, $40 is really expensive for a temperature sensor and I really hope I don't run into any issues since the warranty isn't all that long. I'm thinking I wouldn't buy this again now that I have a baseline for the temperatures throughout my house and I am able to just set my downstairs thermostat to turn on at a specific temperature that would get my other rooms to the temperature I desire.

Cool color, but pad problems persist
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Sony PS4 controllers are great overall, but they all seem to have an issue with the joystick pads breaking down. I thought this might have been an issue with just one of my controllers at first but over time they all started to show wear and tear. To remedy this I purchased some PS4 controller pad covers and they have held up for a few years now. This red PS4 controller has a cool color and I made sure to install the pad covers immediately to preserve the pads. I highly recommend you do the same! The pads can be found on Amazon and Goolge pretty easily. Have fun!

Great camera but a little different
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first thing I noticed is how amazing the camera is. We ended up using it for all our family Christmas photos over the holidays. I'm used to HTC phones and thought the move to a Google phone would be super easy but I am still getting the hang of it. The most frustrating thing so far was getting my contacts list updated onto the new phone despite having recent upload data on Verizon's website. I am happy with the purchase and would buy it again. It's just going to take some time getting used to it!

Solid game at a great price
on December 15, 2019
Posted by: BigIP
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you can get the Playstation hits version for $10 as I did the other day then this game is a no brainer. It is by no means the most amazing game of all time but is a solid representation of the genre and you can expect to get about 20 solid hours of entertainment. I don't know about you, but $.50 an hour is not a bad price! If you get really into it and want to unlock everything you could put 40+ hours into it but you would need to grind out some parts. All together I would recommend this game at this price over and over.

1 out of 5Activation requirement
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.
