get on sale

Verified Purchase:Yes
this is my 2nd blue WD purchased ,, since bestbuy put them on sale again ,, i wonder if these hdd are will be phased out in favor of ssd is the reason .. so getting some extra on sale seems logical to me .. also,, i been using the free acronis backup software making backups .. finally without having to buy it ..
i used acronis to create a backups on the 1st blue ..and then created a bootable clone on the 2nd blue .. i also worked on creating a bootable clone on a usb WD passport drive too but not tested a boot with it yet .. however when the blue booted ,,, it took about 4 to 5 minutes where the motherboard ssd boots takes just a minute .. another thing which i liked was the boot ssd was 2TB and had 2 partitions of 1TB ,, and when the blue 4TB bootable was created ,, the acronis created 2 partitions of 2TB each .. .which make me even more happier ..
my eventual plan is to use the bootable blue to now make a bootable 4TB ssd ,, and keep the 2TB ssd and boot blue as backup out of the desktop ..

little too short height
on July 15, 2024
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
even though i give a good rating ,, i donna recommend ,, you are limited on how thick or tall what you want to cook ,, and it does cook well .. but when i wanted to broil a chop or steak ,, the existing grill rack that comes with it ,, sets it too close to the top heating elements ,, but i got around that by using a grill rack with 1-inch legs to then sit on top of the bottom drip pan .. other than that it works as designed.. but would have really like it,,, if it was a inch taller inside the oven .. or just added another slide in lower.position for the grill ,, since there is only one position..
it is convenient that it can tilt up to give you back some counter space ,which was the reason i got this to try ,, but other small ovens are just as good and cheeper.. ..
in addition, other reviewers comment about oil or grease dripping from the oven ,, i suspect this is because of air frying and broiling with the fan traps oil fumes within the oven which then accumulates,, so over time to drip out ,, and there is no oem design to clean it ,, and is the same with all these small appliances.. .. and of course your over stove exhaust fan

clean it up

Verified Purchase:Yes
this is definitely a better quality trimmer than other cheeper brands ,, however it does not shave as close .. and the reason is the cutters do not touch your nose skin ,, at first i was little disappointed but over a few uses ,,, it is less irritation to the nose ,, so you just need to use it more often ,, which is no big thing .. and pretty happy with this for now .
.and hopefully if i drop it and it does not break into pieces ,, then i know this is a way better quality than the cheepy one .. which was the reason for buying this ..

Step up your photography with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body. It has a 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a 100-32,000 ISO range that lets you take large photos that are sharp and bright. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body is ideal for shooting action photos with speeds of up to seven frames per second.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Overly priced, not what i expected
By tess73

Not for beginners confusing options in the menu it may be the same with the mark III? You really have to know what each thing does or what it doesn't do, it maybe easier for someone who has worked with pro level cameras before? color is not the same as most canons (lighter not as vibrant) and that is one thing I wish they didn't change cause I loved canon's color .It was said in a review you rarely miss shots with it , I found I miss just as many shots as I do with my 6D and my T6i and that is using a center focus point, I also used the auto focus and moved focus points and it missed shots. I think people would be better off with the mark iii until the price drops on the IV unless you feel you need the extra MP's and it would be worth it to you paying the higher price. It's not a terrible camera but not worth the high price tag in my opinion.

I was searching for a remote control to do some self-shoots with my husband. Technically this works, but you must point the remote directly to the IR sensor of the camera, otherwise it will not be recognized. If you don't want to have the remote in all your pictures you will (depending on your camera) possibly need a firmware update or add-on to get a delay between pressing the button and the actual photo.
The biggest issue I had was finding out which cameras are working with the remote control. The internet isn't helpful at all and even the QR code on the package itself leads into nowhere. I can at least tell that it works with my (old old) Canon EOS 500d.
So, with some minus points still a working accessoire.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Double your camera's battery life without adding a lot of bulk with this Canon battery grip. Vertically positioned controls offer easy access to the camera's shutter release and AF controls. Compatible with the Mark IV DSLR camera, this Canon battery grip offers room for up to two Li-ion battery packs.
I thinking of ordering Canon Mark IV 5d body only. Before placing order include a free Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip-black. Do you know if batteries is included in the grip. Please advise Thank you.
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
