Sweet Deal for Braided Stainless

Verified Purchase:Yes
Most washers come with no inlet water hoses these days, so whatever you buy, figure on getting a new set of hoses for your new installation. Don't balk at the price for these as they are a deal for the hose strength and quality, PLUS they include hookup of your new machine, (if bought together). We got these with our Whirlpool Cabrio, and they're just the thing to complement the machine. Delivery techs were real pros.......... HIGHLY RECOMMEND everything about our purchase, Best Buy IS our "Go To" source for anything with an electrical plug on it!

Easy to Use Washer at a Great Price
on June 2, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
We had a 12 year old Maytag we'd purchased from Best Buy that FINALLY laid down and went to that great laundry mat in the sky......thus, on a quest for a replacement and decided on this Whirlpool. After one month and ALOT of use, we can say So far So good! This machine takes a bit of getting used to, but if you READ the simple instruction manual, it does what it's made to do very well.......... just a bit differently than we're used to. Some reviews complained this machine is noisy (IT IS NOT), just makes some different sounds than we're accustomed too. Some folks noted it didn't agitate as their old one did; that's due to a design we're not used to, with a "Wash Plate" system that saves water and energy. This too works just fine. Lots of quick and easy features allowed with single button setup, or you can custom tailor the wash for whatever you want..........Again we've tried it all and this machine has delivered. A great machine for a great price, Whirlpool and Best Buy passed this test with ease. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

![Tombstone [DVD] [1993]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bb2a8d7e-4469-4cdd-90f4-e131905b02f8.jpg)
Once again, Buena Vista has chosen to release a movie-only disc with no bonus material. In the case of Tombstone, the lack of extras is made even more incomprehensible in light of the fact that the laserdisc release of the film featured deleted scenes with director commentary, all of which added depth to the film. With a director's cut that was three hours in length, the decision to leave that footage on the cutting room floor is frustrating. Fans of the film will want to at least rent Tombstone on DVD, however, as the non-anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen transfer thankfully negates the pan-and-scan of the original tape and restores the film's epic Western feel. The picture and sound quality are even a notch above the Buena Vista releases of the time, and the picture would be even better if not for a little too much shimmering from edge enhancement at times. Regardless of the disc's shortcomings, the shootout at the O.K. Corral is a perfect showroom sequence for the benefits of DVD. While rumors of a special edition remain unconfirmed, hopefully Buena Vista will do the film justice in the future.

THE Contemporary Western
on April 8, 2019
Posted by: thrall
from Charlotte NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Granted, there was some poetic license in this retelling of the OK Corral/Earp saga, but when levied against the final product, it's freedom well utilized. A grand cast, spot on performances, great cinematography, and an air of confidence that just isn't found in today's "cookie cutter" productions. All here went onto great careers, but I can't recall any performances as inspired as these. Over 25 years since release, this remains one of my favorite films, one look and you'll be sold also........... Highly Recommended

WAYANS ROCK!!!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Any one out there NOT a fan of this classic? Just great fun with a loving nod to those 70s Drive In gems. SO many stars, this one creates a solar system unto itself; so many chuckles, snickers, and downright belly laffs, you're guaranteed to have a grand time. The scene with a very young Chris Rock and Isaac Hayes alone are worth twice the price of admission! Highest recommendation for just a 90 minute yuck fest............ENJOY!

Douglas at the Top of His Game

Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this over 25 (!) years ago at the theatre, and STILL recalled scenes from this gem. Seeing this DVD recently reminded me WHY it stayed lodged in grey matter all these years. Very relatable material, and as effective today as it was when made. Earthy, unsettling, AWESOME.............. If you've not seen this, put it on your "to do" list, you'll be glad you did.

In 1987, world-weary old soldier Calvin Barr (Sam Elliott) remained understandably mum about how, as a young man (Aiden Turner), he penetrated Nazi Germany and covertly took out Der Fuhrer. His whispered legend remained on the radar of American and Canadian intelligence... and now they want him to track down and bag the Sasquatch in order to prevent a pandemic. Tongue-in-cheek adventure/character study also stars Caitlin FitzGerald, Ron Livingston, Larry Miller, Sean Bridgers. 98 minutes Widescreen

Mr Elliott's Secret
on April 8, 2019
Posted by: thrall
from Charlotte NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
WOW! Ok, you've probably heard this one picked or panned to death, but, SEE IT FOR YOURSELF! I enjoyed this one immensely, partially because I'm a card carrying OOG (Official Old Guy) myself, and can relate to this story. The title is a bit off putting, but what else COULD they call it? Elliott is spot on in this portrayal, with heart and spirit to spare; He DOES achieve both tasks mentioned in the title with flair, style, and a sense of being there. Everyone involved here is pitch perfect, and clearly enjoying themselves and a strong, very young director. Great story, great cinematography, TWO threatening monsters, and imagination to spare. The disc looks great, plenty of welcome supplements, and the sound is awesome when blasted properly. Overall HIGHLY RECOMMENDED on all counts.............ENJOY!

Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.

Great Deal for AAA Multipack

Verified Purchase:Yes
While 48 pieces may seem like a zillion years supply of AAA batteries, in today's world where every remote feeds off them, it's NOT...........I've bought these packs from Best Buy previously, and am very satisfied with the "bang for the buck". They work well, have a good shelf life, and very reasonably priced.

NOBODY uses good ol' AA, AAA, C, or D batteries anymore, right? Don't bet on it! With all the gadgets, widgets, fidgets, and who knows what, I use more batteries than ever. These mega packs from Best Buy have been working well for me at a very fair price................... Highly recommended for both price and service.

Without fail, the battery in your car remote will go bad at the worst possible time............... here's an answer to that problem. I have older GM's and these are the cells they use, (yours may vary) I paid LESS for these 6 than the local shops are getting for 2. Good batteries & a great price, what's not to love?

This is a fine player. No foibles I can discover. I will note that if one does not go to the settings menu and then go into the audio (sound) part of that menu the player will not output Atmos or DTS: audio. The factory default is PCM and that will not do the trick. The best way to have the player deal with this issue is to select "Auto" from the list of options. That way, the disc will pass through the best audio to any AV receiver that can deal with it and the receiver will select the best playback option for the best sound. The video on the player is all I could ask for. With one disc, one time, however, here was a bright line along the bottom edge of the 4K frame at the bottom of the screen, but that went away a bit into the movie. (A review I read of the more expensive M9500 model mentioned a similar artifact, so it may be a characteristic of all of the 7500-9500 Samsung players.) I have watched several discs since and there were no issues. The remote takes some getting used to, but one you achieve that perficiency it works just fine. Unlike the 9500 and 8500 models this one does not have wi-fi, so you have to connect it to the internet (router) via an ethernet cable. Hooking it to the internet allows for performance upgrades to be received. It's a good player. The attached photo shows it sitting on top of my equipment cabinet.

Thanks for your review and clarifying the point of NOT being wifi enabled; this is a great machine, but many folks won't find it suiting their needs if they cannot physically wire it up

Slice and dice with this Cuisinart C55-01-12PCKSB knife set that features color coding for simple organization and to help reduce cross-contamination. The ergonomic handles ensure comfortable use.
Do the colors have any significance regarding the knives function? I can't have orange objects in my kitchen.
My daughter (who attended culinary classes) tells me the color coding addresses meat, veg, dairy, etc to avoid cross contamination. Not such a big deal for home use, but in a busy commercial kitchen it CAN be............I'd say for the price, HIDE the orange knife and sheath ; )

Ideal for a range of devices, this ultra-low-profile accessory rotates left and right, so you can mount your TV without placing strain on your interface connector. Built to premium standards, this Rocketfish HDMI swivel adapter also transmits 4K signals, so you can enjoy a UHD experience at home.
My Sony TV only has 1 HDMI outlet and I need to hook up my Roku and my Blue Ray player-would this work for that problem?
I believe you would be better off with a SWITCHING station to allow selecting multiple pieces of equipment to a single input monitor..........This "Jointed" HDMI adapter still only allows one input at a time; it is designed to accommodate difficult to access connections. Hope this helps!
