Whether you~re the go-to DJ in your crew or a curator with the best playlists, the Bose SoundLink Max Speaker is the ultimate party starter. The stereo sound and deep bass turn good times to the max, letting you feel the music from your head to your toes. And with a trendy removable handle, you can take the party anywhere. Water and dust-proof features mean it~s perfect for a poolside, beach, or rooftop hang. And when someone spills a drink or you run into unexpected showers, it never knocks the vibe. Amp up the party even more when you link two SoundLink Max Speakers. Choose Stereo Mode for left and right channels, or go for Party Mode for the biggest, boldest sound. Thanks to the epic battery life, you can keep bumping the playlist for up to 20 hours*, so the party can start in the day and carry on through the late night. Phone battery is running low? The USB-C port has got you covered. Power up from the speaker~s built-in battery. Get yours in Black, Blue Dusk, or Citrus Yellow.

This speaker ROCKS.
It is powerful, with amazing highs, lows, and midrange sound. I LOVE how the grab handle is on top. Simple things like that make it a keeper. It was NOT cheap, but at the same time, the sound is just....wow. And a 20 hour battery?
Oh, and this thing actually has STEREO sound. Sit close enough to it and you can hear the left and right channels. Bonus...keeper. I might buy another one and link them up.

Play the moment with the SoundLink Plus Speaker. Big enough to bring the bass while still being portable, this new speaker features bold, resonant audio and a tough, ready-for-anything exterior. Experience up to 20 hours~ of energy-shifting playback.
Posted by: BMunster
This speaker def sounds amazing. I also like how it doesn't constantly tip over like the Flex does (huge fail). The one and only complaint I have with this one, and some may not care...but I def want the grab handle to be on TOP. Having that loop on the side is kind of worthless, as it's fairly heavy and would very likely NOT be hung vertically. Although I really loved how it sounded, that was a deal breaker for me and I ended up retuning it and getting the Max. The Max is about $130 more, but worth every penny.

A very well-designed stand. Holds the 13" iPad Pro

Super sturdy / well built & designed...
This thing will definitely hold a 16" MacBook Pro or a 13" iPad Pro, of which both I have used. The swivel base is a very nice function, as well.
One of those items that you buy two of them and put one on the shelf. It's that good!

I got this on sale, and it was well worth it. It’s very easy to assemble, it’s very solid. I use it for a laptop desk in the family / TV room to edit on and / or as a place to eat while watching TV.

I like to have a portable charger that packs a punch but doesn’t weigh me down too much. 200 watts is amazing for a charger this small / light. ProTip: wrap a little rubber wristband around it to hold your cables, etc. On sale $99 and I used $20 in certificates. Not bad at all :)

Take big JBL Pro sound wherever you go. The bold, colorful JBL Go 4 ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker fits in the palm of your hand, delivering clear, loud JBL Pro Sound with rich, punchy bass. Its newly redesigned integrated loop makes it easy to bring anywhere, and the variety of colorways means you can choose one that fits your vibe. Plus it's waterproof and dustproof, so it loves to go outside. And up to 7 hours of playtime means it will keep the good times rolling throughout a fun day trip or an evening chilling under the stars. Pair two Go 4's for stereo sound, or wirelessly connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers for even bigger sound. Crank it up and let your music take you anywhere.

Literally the best bluetooth speaker ever. Buy 2!
on May 31, 2025
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased a mini Bluetooth speakers in my lifetime… This one is by far the best one they have ever produced, bar none. The best feature is that you can easily connect two of them at the same time and put them into stereo mode. This is an absolute must, as they sound tremendously better when paired into stereo mode. At $39 (sale price), they’re a bargain. You can also use the JBL app to fine-tune the sound quality to your preferences. I prefer the custom setting so you can really fine-tune it. Trust me… Buy two at least. I actually bought three…

Buy the Z5ii. The Z50ii falls short IMO...
on May 19, 2025
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
So the Z50ii....although it's an improvement over the Z50...it failed in a few areas: 1) It should have dual SD card slots 2) The battery is basically the same battery and doesn't last long enough. 3) Lack of built-in image stabilization is a major flaw, as it forces you to buy lenses with VR, and there are very few options.
For those reasons, this ended up being returned for the Z5ii, which has all of the above for only a couple hundred dollars more, and on top of that is a full frame camera with many more lens options, and pretty much better everything.
Not to mention I got free one year Adobe Lightroom software thru Nikon's website by registering my Nikon Z5ii.
Luckily, as a BestBuy Total member, I had 60 days to figure this all out before making the upgrade to the Z5ii...

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?

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.

5 out of 5Most Bang for your Buck…
By BMunster
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

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.
