Decent TV for the price
on July 10, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
When the TV in the guest bedroom went on the fritz, I figured it was time for another. I have a TCL 4K 65" in the living room and a TCL 4K 55" in the man-cave plus a TCL 1080p 23" as my wife's computer monitor so it seemed a natural to go grab another TCL. BB had a 43" 4K in stock for a decent price so I grabbed it without thinking. I kind of wish I had thought first though as it turns out that this one has an Android interface where the other 3 sets I have are all Roku-based. Out of pure familiarity and nothing else, I wish I'd gotten the similar model with the Roku interface. I would have taken it back for an exchange but they didn't have a Roku-based one in stock locally and I was too lazy and impatient to wait for one to be ordered. Still, the TV is sharp, has good color, sounds OK and is easy to use.

Good buy on good fun

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a die-hard, "Only Shatner can be Kirk!" kind of Star Trek fan, then these films are NOT for you. If instead you like personable, attractive actors inheriting and growing iconic roles, big budget special effects, decent (if necessarily derivative) storylines and good escapist entertainment, then these ARE for you. And they look marvelous on an HDR-capable 4K TV and sound just as good through a decent sound system. Plus the 3-pack is a LOT cheaper than buying them separately.

Does the job, but does it HAVE to be grey?
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not sure why electric range sold in the US don't include a cord that would plug into a standard US outlet, but there you go. They make you buy it separately and pay to have an installer to come, attach it to the stove and plug it in the wall. Well, they did it and it works. And even though I can't see the cord while the range is installed, it just bothers me to no end that it comes only in grey. Where are my fashionable choices? I want color!

How hard is it to install an electric stove?
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
These guys showed up at my house with our new electric stove, carried it in like champs, attached the cable to the stove like pros and plugged it into the wall like supermen! After they were done, all I could do was stare in wonder while they showed me that all the burners actually warmed up and the oven could warm up as well! What an incredible display of understanding of modern cooking technology!

Improved over older Moto G, with a quirk or two
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
This replaced a Moto G Play that was a few years old and which was starting to give my wife issues. The CPU is faster, there is more built in RAM, the battery lasts longer and the cameras are better, all for about what I paid for the older phone a few years back.
I would give it 5 stars but my wife doesn't like a few things about it. It is a bit thicker and heavier than the old phone (blame the longer-lasting battery, I guess) and the newer Android version has done away with the old fixed "circle, square and triangle" icons at the bottom of the screen for getting out of the current app, showing all open apps and going back to the previous state. Instead, you sweep up from the bottom of the screen to get out of the current app and there doesn't seem to be a way to do the other two actions. She doesn't like that. Well, she doesn't like change and this is a change.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, I have already to my sister-in-law and she bought it and likes it.

Good late-generation GPS with a few minor quirks
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm one of those weirdos that prefers an actual GPS in my car instead of a phone app. I've been in the situation where you are following GPS directions on a phone app and the phone rang and you had to take the call and so lost critical directions during the call. Never again!
The display is huge, packed full of useful information and is clearly laid out. I'm biased in that I've had Garmin GPSs for about 20 years now but I prefer their UI over that of competitors like TomTom or Google Maps or Waze. This has lifetime map updates and traffic support (though you have to either wire it to a supplied antenna or Bluetooth it to your phone to get that).
One thing I ding it a star for is the fact that you cannot power it by plugging it into a USB port in your car (which my car has) - you HAVE to use the old school "cigarette lighter" connector. If you do plug it into a USB port, it goes into file transfer mode and won't act as a GPS. The other thing is that the UI has changed since my last model and it takes a couple more steps to do things like stop a current set of directions or go from the map to the "where to?" screen (the old models had icons on the map screen to do that.

Pretty good smallish TV or largish full HD monitor
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
This NOT the latest 4K, HDR-compatible QLED or Plasma TV. However, it's a pretty good full HD (1920x1080) resolution LCD TV with vibrant colors and a good implementation of Roku streaming built in. I bought it as a replacement for a monitor for my wife's PC and it looks great for that plus doubles as a TV and streaming device for a pretty darned low price. It's "only" a 32" screen, which is tiny by modern TV standards but is actually pretty large by computer monitor standards. I've got two other TCL TVs, both 4K, HDR-capable Series 6 units (one 55", one 65") and I've been pretty happy with them as well.

Nice to have such a big drive!
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
Many, many years ago, I bought my first hard drive. It ran about $400 and was a whopping 40 megabytes. To have gotten a 14 Tb drive with 350,000 times as much storage space (not to mention far faster access) for less than half of what I paid umpteen years ago (and that doesn't even take inflation into account) is mind boggling. I've had good luck with Western Digital drives, both internal and external, over the years and I expect I will with this one as well. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that I haven't had it long enough to see how reliable it is.

This versatile electric freestanding range produces flawless cooking results with Even-Heat TRUE Convection. The unique bow-tie design and convection fan ensure the inside of the entire oven is heated to, and stays at, the perfect temperature. The cooktop features five heating surfaces, including a dedicated warming zone, allowing you to do more on your range.
What are the dimensions of the storage drawer? I'm wondering if the larger oven size makes this too small to be useful.

I am with Verizon and looking for a new phone . Can I purchase the moto G power , for the his price 129.00 and have it activated with Verizon with my number ?
I know that Best Buy was selling this for two different prices; one with activation in the store (the lower price) and one unlocked for activation by whatever phone store the customer took it to. Since I was replacing and old phone on an existing contract, I wasn't going to be activating it in the store and ended up going for the higher priced option. That price was still better than what I would have paid at my phone store (Verizon). Your mileage may vary.

Quicken Deluxe Personal Finance helps you stay on top of bills and spending and save for the future. See your bank, credit card, investment and retirement accounts in one place, or view and pay your bills. With rich analysis you can manage your investment performance.
Can you manually updated the checking and investment accounts and not use the automatic updates?
You can manually enter pretty much anything you want into any of the accounts. When I write checks, for example, I enter them manually. When I later download the information for my checking account from the bank, Quicken automatically reconciles which of those sent checks have been cashed. That assumes that your description of the individual payment matches the banks description closely enough. Sometimes, they don't quite match and you end up having to delete your manually-entered record.

Prepare quick meals with this 1600W Whirlpool microwave oven.

Whirlpool microwave oven has a light underneath to increase the visibility of your range.
Can I install this unit in a cabinet over my wall oven with a trim kit like my old whirlpool gold convection microwave?
I had contractors from Best Buy install it because since I've retired, I've become rather lazy about doing chores like that. However, they installed it in a manner of minutes using the trim kit that had been from our previous Whirlpool microwave oven. I am unfamiliar with the "Whirlpool Gold Convection Microwave" in specific but suspect the trim kits might be similar.

Further inquiry to Bonnies question ( and subsequent answer) about cookie sheets. Are you recommending we not bake cookies in the convection feature of the oven?
You can certainly try baking cookies or anything else. However, given the design of the oven where all the heat is coming in from a vent on the left side rather than evenly distributed above and/or below as in a conventional oven, I suspect that you might find cookies on the left side of the sheet might be rather more well done than those on the right side.

will this work with 5ohm speakers ?
Possibly not. The manual describes how to set the speaker impedance setting to either 8-ohm or 6-ohm, no mention of other settings for 4-ohm, 5-ohm or other. You might want to write Yamaha directly to see if setting it to 6-ohm would be "close enough" for your 5-ohm speakers.

Enjoy convenient cooking with this 1600W over-the-range Whirlpool microwave. Its convection technology provides fast, even heating, and its steam mode lets you prepare healthy meals in a hurry. The four-speed fan of this 1.9 cu. ft. Whirlpool microwave keeps odors at bay, while its warm/hold function maintains the proper temperature until serving time.
How do you change the power level, every thing I read says to first press the door open button. Where’s that? Thank you but mostly power level, the hidden keys to the convection,microwave
There's a little icon with 3 horizontal stripes (which I've heard called the "hamburger" icon) to the left of the painted controls. Press that and an expanded backlit menu comes up. Using this, you can set the cooking time, press a menu option, then select the cooking power level (from 10% to 90% with the default being 100%) and then press the Start icon. You also have to use this "hamburger" icon to bring up the menu options to use the oven in convection oven mode instead of the default microwave oven mode (the two modes are separate and can't be used at the same time).

Does this unit allow you to play different music in each zone? For example: can I watch a movie in the main zone and play music via an airplay 2 device (iPhone).
Page 44 of the manual talks about sliding the Zone A/Zone B switch to Zone B, then selecting an input. Keep in mind that you cannot drive both a 5.1 channel system in Zone A in combination with a 2.0 channel system in Zone B. Using Zone B means sacrificing the surround channels from Zone A. This isn't spelled out explicitly in the manual; you have to glean it from zooming in on the diagram of the rear of the receiver on page 14.

Can this receiver work with component audio and video cable? I have an older projection television as well as an older dvd player.
This A/V receiver does NOT have component (YPbPr) video inputs. Video can only be input via higher-quality HDMI input or lower-quality composite video input. Most all newer video devices (cable boxes, satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, UHD players, media players, etc.) use only HDMI these days. Some really old devices (Wii game consoles, VCRs, etc.) use composite video and some older DVD players use composite video.
