Pretty sturdy. A must-have these days...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice sturdy stand, capable of holding an IPad with the correct iPad mount (there are plenty of them out there). I actually bought an IPad mini 6, and this tripod to use as a bedroom TV instead of hanging a big TV on the wall, and spending the same amount of money. That way I can take it with me, unlike a bedroom TV.
The only issue I had with this tripod is in the phone mount itself. The mount is nice and tight, but where it slides into the ball mount of the tripod, it was really loose. I had to put some electrical tape on the bottom of the piece that slides in so it wasn't loose.
Other than that, it's super high quality. It has a lot of uses. You can use this to hold an iPad, iPhone with the included mount. It's also nice for zoom calls, FaceTime, etc.
I still gave it a 5 star rating, because overall, it's high quality and BestBuy N Canton (OH) was nice enough to price match Amazon at nearly $30 off retail price.

Close cut. Save your money. Buy these…

Got these on sale @ $34.99. I thought that was a pretty good price. Used them for the first time and love how close they cut. The 1/2” guard option is a nice clean cut.
Much much cheaper and convenient than driving to the barber every ten days. Saves me about $500 a year!

Fresh air can be hard to find, but it doesn~t have to be. The LV-H126-RBE circulates fresh air in small rooms like a bedroom or dorm. 3 distinct stages of filtration capture hair, smoke, odors, and other large and fine airborne pollutants. The compact design and discreet noise levels ensure that the purifier will make a powerful difference without drawing attention to itself. Find fresh air with the Levoit Personal Air Purifier.

How much is clean air worth??

Verified Purchase:Yes
This little device really makes a difference when sleeping in a small bedroom. It has just the right amount of “white noise” to sleep to…and when you wake up you’ll notice a definite difference in the air quality.
It seems to do what normally your nose has to do; filter the air you breathe. The true test will come when I see if I still get all the dust I was getting before. But from the difference in air quality and how much easier it is to breathe…I’m guessing that it’ll take care of that issue, as well.
I think I’ll end up buying a larger one for tne main living area as well. Nothing like being able to breathe clean, fresh air!

Most Bang for the Buck, for sure...
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Of all the iPads that came out in 2022, this is by far the most bang for the buck. It has the feature where the front-facing camera follows you for FaceTime calls, Zoom, etc. It also comes with the fast charger (USB-C on the plug end). It now starts @ 64GB of memory (which is plenty for me) & has TruTone display (really nice feature).
At $329 (you can get it for $299 on sale), you can't beat it. The other iPads seem to be so overpriced for the small difference in performance / features.
I would say the only negative is that the speakers aren't the greatest on this IPad, but honestly I either use my bluetooth headphones or a Bose bluetooth speaker, which makes that a non-issue.
BestBuy in Cuyahoga Falls was a great help getting this IPad for me along with an Otterbox Defender Pro case. A perfect combination...

The perfect portable device…bar none.

The iPad mini 6 is an amazing little device. It’s just the perfect size, speakers sound great, and I love that I can hold it in one hand. To me, the regular sized iPad is just too big. If I’m gonna use something that big, I’d rather just use a laptop or even a desktop.
I waited until Otterbox released a Defender Pro case for this bad boy. It took a few months, but it was worth the wait. Now I can throw my iPad mini 6 into my backpack and not worry about ever possibly damaging it.
Oh, and for the record, I think the Starlight color is the best! Worth every penny!

Finally. It's here...
on January 13, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
I waited for a few months for Otterbox to finally produce the Otterbox Defender case for the new IPad mini 6.
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even buy the IPad mini 6 until Otterbox made this case. I only use Otterbox cases. I don't trust other cases to protect a $500 item like an IPad mini 6.
It fits perfectly. I love knowing that I can throw it into my backpack, and not worry about damaging it, etc. I also like how they no longer put a built-in screen protector on there. I'd rather put my own on, as the old Otterbox cases were notorious for getting dust and / or moisture stuck between the screen protector and the screen.
I am definitely happy with the new Otterbox Defender Pro case for the new IPad mini 6! It will make a nice display for my Mavic Air 2 drone!

Good kitchen TV :) Get it on sale!
on January 12, 2022
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Many complaining that the Home Screen keeps showing up when you power it on.
True, but that can be easily changed under your settings to “Last Input”. That way if you’re using a Roku for example to watch cable TV, each time you power on the TV it defaults to your Roku / HDMI input.
I hooked it up to an inexpensive and small Insignia sound bar, and the sound is wonderful. If I could give any of these companies any feedback, it’s a great TV, but please don’t put the sensor right in the middle of the bottom of the frame. When the legs are on the side, such as the ones on this unit, that’s where most people would place a sound bar. I had to place pieces of wood under the legs so that my sound bar didn’t interfere with my remote and / or block part of the bottom portion of the picture.
That being said, I got it at the sale price, so I’d say the value is pretty good. I use it for a kitchen TV.

Def worth the upgrade for a main TV. Very quick...

I've had a few Roku including the 2021 version of the Roku Express 4K+...
This one is much faster, snappier, and I love that you can plug in a solid ethernet wire into the read so you have a constant, steady connection, and not worry about wifi connectivity issues.
I snagged one on sale for $69 for my main 50" 4K Samsung QLED, and used the Express 4K+ on the cheaper 720p kitchen TV.
This is definitely worth he additional money if you need one for a main TV. Like I said, much much much quicker and responsive.
BestBuy N Canton walked it out to my car before they even opened (extended curbside pickup hours) which made it even better :)

The largest, most advanced Always-on Retina display yet makes everything you do with your Apple Watch Series 7 bigger and better.

Advanced features let you measure your blood oxygen level,~ take an ECG anytime,~ and access mindfulness and sleep tracking apps. You can also track dozens of workouts, including new tai chi and pilates.

It’s the most expensive Apple Watch, but also the best one. The SE was nice, but had a noticeably smaller screen, and I kind of wanted the Always On Display that the 6 and the 7 series have.
In addition, the battery lasts a little longer, and I liked the Nike band that came on this model. Saved me some money on getting one after the fact.
What really surprised me was how good this watch makes good old fashioned phone calls. The call quality is impressive and it’s so much more convenient than holding an iPhone 13 ProMax in my hand. Lol
I’m super impressed!

Definitely an upgrade over a standard DVD player.
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got it on sale for $59. It plays Blu Ray DVDs, and there is a YUUUUUUUGE difference in clarity between a regular DVD and a BluRay. I honestly don’t think the jump to 4K is worth the difference in money, as the price jumps substantially when you go up to a 4K DVD player, not to mention the cost of the movies.
I like that it has an Ethernet port so you can use it as a Smart device, and also update the firmware, etc. Very handy.
I had originally bought a regular Sony DVD player, but exchanged it the same day, and paid an extra $20 for this one, and it was definitely worth the upgrade.

I think the 50" QLED is the way to go. Huge 65" TVs show more flaws in the picture, and tend to look kind of gawdy in a small room. I don't think a lot of people see it that way.
Love the Ambient Mode feature, although I wish you could use a flash drive of your own photos instead of the sample pics they offer. That definitely should be changed next time.
At $649 I thought it was a pretty good deal. Very happy with it.

Why not be able to upload multiple photographs?
April 17, 2020
I love this TV, but as an amateur photographer, I would love to be able to upload multiple photos so that the Ambient Mode function turns into a slide show instead of simple being able to display one photo constantly. It appears that it's limited to one photo. Am I correct?

I know the 9th Gen IPad isn’t full of the latest greatest in technology, and it APPEARS to be the same as the 8th Gen IPad, but…
It has a new front facing camera with Center Stage technology….a faster processor, and a few other updates including more memory. And….they price matched Amazon so I got mine for $299.
I couldn’t justify the additional couple hundred bucks to go with the mini 6 or the iPad Air. And call me old, but I love the simplicity of the traditional “Home” button.
I think I kind of stole it @ $299…

5 out of 5Bella Small Size May Fool You - Generous Capacity
By pauldar
from North Florida
The Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer is disguised as compact air fryer. However, after using it for three weeks I discovered this versatile air fryer is an efficient counter top appliance, which enables healthier cooking for Grandma and me. I can Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Roast, and Reheat with little or no oil. And, the best part is that healthier air fried foods are just as tasty and delicious as if they were deep-fat fried. How cool is that?
This Bella Pro Series air Fryer is a cut above the rest of the Bella Houseware Kitchen products and is designed for higher performance. It is made of mostly plastic with a non-stick coated steel frying basket and crisping tray. The frying basket has a 'cool-touch' handle, and the body of the whole unit is finished in finger print resistant, matte black. It blends in with all of my Kitchen appliances and the bottom of this unit has four rubberized non-skid feet to keep it stable. It is lightweight enough to be portable and I often move it about on different places as needed. My counter tops are heat resistant. The manufacturer suggests placing this air fryer on heat-resistant work spaces in order to avoid counter top damage. This unit pulls in air to circulate over the 1200 watt heating element in a circular vent at the top of the unit. Heat is exhausted out of the back of this unit so the manufacturer suggest to keep a four inch clearance from walls or other objects during operation. When removing the frying basket it is important to place it on a heat-resistant surface, or trivet because it will be hot.
Advantages of this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer:
* Healthier cooking using little or NO oils whatsoever. Air Frying is the new approach to reduce cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cooking oils. Again, I am amazed at how tasty air frying is and good for my health too. YooHoo!
* Quickly cooks vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry without preheating. Holds up to to two quarts of volume. Enough French Fries to serve my four Grand Kids when they visit and want a snack. WoW!
* High performance circular heat technology. Distributes heated air flow for faster cooking. It cooks the foods more evenly and makes them crispier too. YUMMY!
* Responsive and easy to learn Touchscreen Controls. Preset functions with preset temperatures and times. However, the time and temperature can easily be changed manually at any time during the cooking process. By using the marked Up & Down Time and Temperature arrows both Time & Temperature can be decreased, and, or Increased. This is important when cooking foods, then pausing to shake, and or, turn the food items half way through the cooking process. I can easily tell when I need to add or increase the temperature or time.
* Safety features include the pausing of the preset cooking choices when the frying basket is pulled out of the air fryer. The cooking process will resume immediately when the fryer basket is installed back into the main body. The unit will Not cook if the fryer basket is NOT installed. The unit can be turned OFF by pressing the Power Button for two seconds. After 60 minutes this unit will automatically turn OFF and sound an audible tone.
* Care and Maintenance is NOT complicated. The frying basket and crisping tray are easily cleaned in my Kitchen sink with soapy water, and. by hand as I prefer. They can also be put in the Dishwasher, but I think they last longer if cleaned by hand. The main body of this Bella air fryer can easily be cleaned with a damp dish cloth.
* Be aware there is a learning curve to the process of air frying. Pausing the cooking process half way through the presets is very important. I can easily determine if I need to continue with the same preset Times and Temperature, or, if either one needs to be changed. The Bella Touchscreen makes this a simple adjustment.
* Tips – Placing a piece of aluminum foil under the crisping tray makes clean-up much easier, especially when air frying, roasting,or broiling fatty meats. Make sure the 'shiny' side is facing up. It reflects heat much better under the crisping tray. Try re-heating foods in this Bella instead of your microwave. This Bella reheats foods more evenly and thoroughly. Love It!
* This Bella Air Fryer is quite an energy saver compared to my conventional six cubic foot oven. The Bella only uses 1.2 KW, while my conventional oven uses upwards to 4 KW and takes much longer to preheat and cook. The Bella is fantastic in comparison.
I highly recommend this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer. Me and Grandma are amazed how quickly this unit prepares our foods in less time then it takes to preheat my conventional oven. We were very skeptical at first because healthier foods aren't supposed to taste this good, or are they? Buy a Bella Air Fryer and find our for yourself . This unit is ideal for a couple, or family of four with two small children. This Bella is inexpensive, and may actually pay for itself over time compared to using your conventional oven. Makes a great wedding, housewarming, or just a special gift to that particular person or family member on your list.
