Excellent customer service!

The guys who came to install my dryer were great! They took their time to unbox the dryer, to inspect it, and to carefully mount it on top of my washer and stacking kit. They even went above and beyond considering how tight the space was where they were installing the dryer. Excellent job! Highly recommended.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

Overall a great fridge with some issues
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: Xtos
Verified Purchase:Yes
First and foremost, this fridge is beautifully designed. Hands down, the nicest looking fridge in its price range. It looks "Built-in" and very sleek without the handles or ice/water machine on the outside.
I also love that it has two compressors and does a fantastic job maintaining a stable temperature. I also love the middle drawer and the interior water dispenser and the ice dispenser and scoop in the freezer. I wish the middle drawer had the option to be a second freezer area as well, but it only gets as cold as 27 degrees. I also wish the produce tray in the upper part of the fridge was split so you could pull it out with only one door open. Alas, you must open BOTH upper doors to open that produce drawer, which has proven inconvenient. Because of this, I decided to use it as my meat drawer instead and use the middle flex-fridge section for produce, cheese, butter, etc., because I tend to need access to those items more often than meat.
The biggest downside with this fridge is that the stainless steel itself is very thin and lesser quality than other fridges I've owned. For starters, it's magnetic, which is indicative of a higher level of iron and that leads to tarnishing faster. (requiring more maintenance). Fingerprints are also highly visible and become a regular headache to clean. But be careful, as there is a factory finish on this fridge that can rub off very easily with too much elbow grease, the wrong cleaning agent, or if you use a paper towel with too much pressure. It literally rubs off the finish before your eyes, Because of that, I do not recommend you use paper towels to clean this fridge. Only use a high quality microfiber cloth and polish with the grain. I recommend either BOSCH or WEIMAN stainless steel cleaner. Other stainless steel cleaners might prove damaging. Do a test first. This fridge also scratches and dents very easily. The stainless steel is so thing and delicate, that it will scratch and dent if you bump it with a mug, graze it with a shirt button, or accidentally tap it with a tray corner or any hard object when trying to put items into the fridge or the cabinet above. For the price, they should be using much thicker, stronger, higher quality stainless steel.
Even with all that said, I still love this fridge and don't regret my purchase because it has a lot of space and does an excellent job keeping food fresh and maintaining a stable temperature.

Great microwave and useful convection oven
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: Xtos
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I love this combination microwave/convection oven.
As a microwave, this works flawlessly. Heats quickly, has many great features, and love the racks. As a convection oven, it really takes a long time to heat and cook. BUT, it cooks well in the end. So I got used to the extra time. I was surprised that it can actually make vegetables and other foods come out crispy. It almost works like an air fryer, if you spray the veggies with olive oil. The only reason I'm taking away one star is because the exhaust fan is very loud (at all settings) and does not actually suck very well. Very little difference between High and Low. On high, it can barely hold a paper towel. They should really have their microwave team work with their dishwasher team to bring down the fan noise, and figure out how to get a much stronger suction. Otherwise, it's a great machine.

Tackle a full load of dinner dishes effortlessly with this Bosch 500 stainless steel dishwasher. AutoAir Dry automatically opens the door to dry dishes quickly, and the flexible third rack makes it easy to clean more items in a single load. This Bosche 500 stainless steel dishwasher projects a red light onto the floor when the wash cycle is on.

Wonderful dishwasher and so incredibly quiet!
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: Xtos
Verified Purchase:Yes
It took me some time to figure out how to use this machine, but once I learned its quirks and the best settings for each type of load, I love it!! The AUTO-AIR feature is a MUST HAVE on an energy efficient low heat machine like this. It basically uses hot water and evaporation in lieu of heat pumps. This auto air not only gives you the most obvious indicator that the dishes are done, but improves the drying time and keeps the dishwasher from smelling moldy/musty. There is an EXTRA DRY and SANITATION feature that uses even hotter water and dries the dishes better, but I found that you should only use that for pots/pans and heavy duty items. I had some plastic containers that warped on that setting. So be careful when you use that setting. The only downside is that most dishwasher settings take a long, long time to run. But they do have a HALF LOAD quick wash feature you can choose. Also note that you must hit the auto air button to activate that feature, and while it appears to add time to the cycle - it doesn't really, because it is only including the recommended time to wait after the cycle completes and the door opens to air dry. At this point, the cycle is done and you can remove the dishes if you want. I wish they used a GREEN button instead of RED to indicate that the machine is running, but I got used to it. Highly recommended.

Overall a great wine and beverage cooler
on March 26, 2020
Posted by: Xtos
Verified Purchase:Yes
Looks great, love the wood racks, perfect size, stocks many bottles and cans, and even fits larger sized bottles. Really sleep and looks "built-in" under my kitchen island. I only wish it would go colder than 41 degrees. I feel like 37 degrees would be better for beer, bottled water, and other drinks. But it's not bad and saves electricity at 41. It can be a bit noisy when the compressor activates, but it doesn't stay on long. Only real downside is the condensation that occasionally builds up on the glass and sides of the unit. That added moisture concerns me, but so far hasn't caused any damage to my cabinets or caused any mold growth. It seems to resolve on its own over time. The issue tends to only happen when I turn off my AC or leave my apartment and the room temperature goes to 80 degrees. Overall, a great buy for the price!

Wow! Amazing picture and quality for the price!

Posted by: Xtos
Verified Purchase:Yes
I absolutely LOVE this television! I almost didn't get it, after reading some reviews. But Best Buy had a great sale and I couldn't resist. It is hand down the best 4K TV you can buy under $1000! I looked at so many for a two month period, and this one blows them all away for the price! I hear many people complain about brightness and viewing angles. I am not having this issue, but I do recommend getting a TV Mount with a full TILT and SWIVEL feature. I also highly recommend you use the DYNAMIC image setting on the picture to get the best, brightest image. I believe it uses an energy saving mode by default, and I would agree the image isn't as nice on that setting. I also highly insist that you upgrade the software on the TV before using it, because that makes a big difference with regard to the smart features and improvements/fixes made. There is also a screen mirroring feature that is so easy to use and works perfectly. You can easily share photos and videos from you smartphone onto the TV. The built in Samsung internet browser works great and the other source inputs are great. I do wish they had other dedicated audio only source options, other than optical. Would be nice to have a 3.5mm jack, USB, or HDMI Audio output option. The Bluetooth connection to a laptop or PC works flawlessly. Highly recommend this TV!

Combining simple installation with compact laundry solutions, Bosch gives you the flexibility to place the washer and dryer in an area that's most convenient for the home. Use this stacking it with pull-out tray to save space by stacking the laundry pair. The pull-out tray provides a convenient location to place your laundry basket or fold clothes when they are dry.

Do yourself a favor & pay the extra money for it!

This stacking kit costs an extra $100, but it's so worth it! When you are short on space (which is the entire reason for buying these expensive compact units) then go the extra mile and get this pull out tray for your stacking kit! It's SO useful for pulling out and folding clothes in between loads! Otherwise you will need to find some other counter space to do that. I've had many compliments on it from house guests and visitors. Especially guests that stayed for a week and needed to use the machines, Highly recommended!

The USB 2.0 interface on this LG television lets you play media from a flash drive.

I noticed this as well. It’s because it defaults to the energy saving mode. You can change this in the settings and even further adjust the brightness and best picture mode! It makes a big difference! Still, the image should be sharper/clearer for a 2018/19 model TV.

Bosch 300 Series electric dryer: Take care of your delicates, heavy-duty loads and more with customized care in this dryer, which features 15 cycles and a variety of options, including delay-start, to help you dry your clothing efficiently. The child lock helps prevent unsupervised or accidental use.
 

I cannot take one more day of using my dryer. Can I buy a new dryer [not a Bosch)) and use the washer independently.?

I'm surprised you aren't happy with your Bosch Dryer. I just bought mine a month ago and love it! I suspect something might be wrong with the specific unit you have or with how it was installed. Or perhaps, the filter needs cleaning? Or maybe it's one of the settings? My dryer works beautifully and dries clothes quickly and nicely. The issue you have with switching to a different dryer is if you wish to stack it on top of the Bosch Washer and plug into the Bosch Washer. The stacking kit only works for Bosch washer/dryer and preferably same model. ( But some models are interchangeable for stacking, check with Bosch). You may also need another or different type of power outlet depending on what you buy. (LG, GE, or Whirlpool for example use 110v)

Remove airborne particles and allergens around your home with this GermGuardian 4-in-1 air purifier. The pre-filter captures dust and large particles to extend the HEPA filter's lifespan, while the programmable ultra-quiet mode keeps the air fresher without interrupting your sleep patterns. This GermGuardian 4-in-1 air purifier features activated charcoal to rid the house of odors.
 

How noisy is it?

Level 5 is a bit noisy. I would compare level 5 with the sound of a typical stove exhaust fan at full speed. I can't use level 4 or 5 near the TV. But level 3 is rather quiet and seems to be the perfect default setting. I tend to keep it at level 3 90% of the time and only use Level 4 and 5 after cooking, cleaning, or when away from the home.

Has anyone that is asthmatic had luck with this?

Yes, I'm asthmatic and I found this air filter helps a lot. Especially bedside. Immediately noticed a difference. One nice thing is the height that this unit has, bringing clean air closer to where I'm breathing. Whereas previous units I've used were circulating the air much lower to the ground.
