Batteries are batteries what can you really say about them. I go thru a lot of them, so I mainly look for quantity at the right price, and something that will last for a reasonable time. These batteries do not disappoint. They last a good length of time and the price is right. I highly recommend.

VERY GOOD PRODUCT

Great TV for the money. I was limited to no larger than a 60" since I didn't want to purchase another table. This is the only one they would deliver to my home in that size. So I figured I would give it a try, if no good it would be returned. As it turned out, I am very pleased with the picture and the features built into the TV. I would recommend for anyone looking for a lower priced unit, but a reasonably good unit. Picture quality it very good.

Wow, I was really amazed at the quality of this unit. I have very limited counter space and my husband wanted an air fryer, so when I saw this on deal of the day, I decided to purchase it. It has met all my expectations. It is a fantastic unit. We use the air fryer constantly and we toast every day. Very, very pleased with this toaster oven plus.

Absolutely excellent flashlight. I like a flashlight that really illuminates. I have other 800 lumen lights, but am constantly putting in new batteries to insure the light stays bright. With this rechargeable 800 lumen light, I always have a bright light and at no additional cost. It is small and lightweight and the best small flashlight I have found. We go out in our RV and walking at night this really gives us the light we need and it recharges quickly and is ready again for maximum use. Highly recommend. I purchased it on deal of the day which made the price very acceptable. So for me the value was great.

I have been an iphone user since the beginning and usually upgrade every 3 to 4 years. I upgraded this year to the 13 pro max because of the camera. I do photography and wanted a good camera with me all the time. Hard for me to give an accurate review at this time because I really haven't been able to test all the features of the phone an camera. But so far, I am very pleased with my purchase, the clarity is excellent and the pictures I have taken are excellent. My major complaint is the weight and thickness of the phone. I attribute that to the cameras. Also, the battery life is great, especially when using the GPS. I previously had the 8 PLUS, much slimmer. But to get the features, such as a great camera, and a larger phone, you have to expect some drawbacks. Overall, I love the phone and highly recommend for someone who doesn't mind a larger, heavier phone.

This is really a great product, as most Apple products are but I dropped the rating because when I play an intensive game I constantly have to do a soft reboot because the, for want of a better word, resources get used up and the tablet acts strangely. Once rebooted all is well again. I have a smaller ipad but wanted the larger screen to work with graphics, I am not disappointed in that respect. All in all a great choice. Love reading my Kindle on it because of the large screen and watching videos or movies is a great plus.

It's hard to review a fan, because a fan is a fan. This one is really well worth the money. I wanted something to draw in the outside air in the evening, not real noisy but powerful enough to help cool the inside of a portion of the house. It works great for my needs, very happy with this purchase. Highly recommend, it has the necessary power needed to do the job. And I like black rather than white.

I usually wait a few months before writing a review to make sure the product is actually working as it should. This microwave is one of the best. I had to replace an old one and truthfully with all the choices available it is really hard to make a decision. So happy I decided on the LG. It works as described and I am very pleased with my choice. Would highly recommend.

I have an older TV that does not have internet built in so have to rely on my DVD player to provide that service. I had to buy a fire stick for Prime TV and finally decided to upgrade my Blu-ray player. This Sony is absolutely wonderful, it has Prime, Netflix and may other available choices. I would highly recommend this player, the quality is the best.

I was given Amazon Prime as a Christmas gift, but since my TV is older I couldn't connect without this fire stick. Since this was my first time even looking at a fire stick, I decided to try this one and to my amazement it installed and worked beautifully. Since I didn't know anything about them, I decided to buy the least expensive and try that first. It is fantastic and certainly worth the price. I highly recommend. I am in the very senior category and this was definitely new for me.

Only at Best BuyHelp preserve your memories when you're on the go with the easystore External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive with plug-and-play USB connectivity and WD Backup software. The backup software allows scheduling of regular automatic file transfers, and WD Discovery software makes it convenient to manage drive settings, including formatting and LED control. USB 3.0 connectivity, offers fast transfer speeds.
 

How do you remove (delete) files from this drive? Or even edit right on the document and save? Everytime I try, it tells me I have to make a duplicate file, store somewhere else, and then make changes??

This is an external hard drive. It is used in the same way as the drive on your computer. You delete a file as needed and if you want to edit a document, you retrieve the document into your editing program, as you would from your computer hard drive, and make changes and resave it. I use it for retrieving and saving from desktop to laptop, as well as a backup. I can edit on any computer at any time. I hope this helps.

Enjoy brilliant picture quality with this 32-inch HP Pavilion display. Its 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution shows multimedia content at an ultrawide angle for enhanced viewing, and it connects to compatible A/V components with its HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. This HP Pavilion display tilts from -5 to 21 degrees to suit your equipment setup.
 

I purchased the HP 32" Pavilion Monitor to use with my Mac Pro (High Sierra). The definition is not-great, it will only scale to 1080p, I also use a HP 27vx monitor, that resolution is amazing - scales to 1920 x 1080. Can I get better res with the new HP

One of reasons I purchased this monitor was the higher resolution. You have to go into display setting and set it to the highest resolutions. I am very satisfied with my results.

Canon PIXMA MX922 All-In-One Printer: Print, copy, scan and fax documents and create borderless photos with this all-in-one printer, which uses the ChromaLife100+ system to extend the lifetime of printed images. You can print directly from your smartphone using Google Cloud Print or Apple~ AirPrint and add fun filters to your photos with the included My Image Garden software.
 

Why the price went higher?

This is a great printer and the regular price is higher. I always watch BestBuy for a product I need or want and if I can wait I purchase it on sale for a good price. The good thing with this printer it uses generic ink and does a great job. Since ink is so expensive when you do a lot of printing this is a big savings. Hope this helps.
