Adequate, but not stellar.

I love Apple products, but for a charger pad the quality of the supplied wire is substandard. Apple should have by now, updated the material of the charging wire, as it feels as cheap as other products they sell. This wire is not going to last even for a year. The charging pad does perform well with respect to the magnet and its snapping into place onto my IPhone 12 clear case. I found that my particular charging pad did not get hot as others reported. My charging pad only got warm to the touch. My IPhone is the 12 Pro, with the Apple case.

Had my washing machine replaced and delivered by Best Buy contractor. He did a great job. Hoses are of very high quality and should be good for many years to come. No leaks and they are much stronger than the ones I currently had. Best Buy was willing to price match an online competitor for the same exact hoses which was great. Very happy with the price match. Hoses have been in use for around 16 months and so far so good. Very happy.

Great Performing Tablet
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: WesternSky
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this product is a winner. The tablet is exactly as advertised, and works very well. It is pretty responsive, and has a fairly long battery life. This tablet replaced a 10 inch tablet and admittedly, this tablet took a little getting used to due to it's size. It took me about a day or so to get used to it's compact and smaller size. I also obtained this product while on sale, which made the purchase of this item even sweeter.
So far I have owned this product for about a month and have experienced absolutely no problems with it. No bog downs, and the speed and response is pretty crisp.
For the price point of this product you can't lose. Highly recommended.

This is my second tablet purchase in the last 2 years. My other tablet which will go unnamed, was really a piece of trash when it came to reliability and responsiveness. Enter the Amazon Fire for which I have nothing but praise. Highly responsive and a good amount of storage. I really have no negatives as the tablet works great. We do a lot of game playing with it and hands down is a winner. If you are looking for a decent tablet at a great price look no further. Highly recommend

Utilized this product to mount a 50 inch Smart TV. Mounting hardware included as well as a bubble leveler. The leveler did not show the exact horizontal position when mounting the TV, so I would suggest the use of your own leveler. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a flat TV mount, so you really can’t put your hand in back to affix antennas or other plug in items. Be sure to have all the plugs plugged in prior to hanging your TV. No problem so far and mount seems strong.

The mini-sized, mega-capable DJI Mini 3 Pro is just as powerful as it is portable. Weighing less than 249 g and with upgraded safety features, it's not only regulation-friendly, it's also the safest in its series. With a 1/1.3-inch sensor and top-tier features, it redefines what it means to fly Mini.

This is my second drone as far as ownership is concerned. The mini 3 Pro by far is the best that I have ever owned. I'm always a little apprehensive when it comes to new drone ownership due to fear of wrecking one. After viewing videos which are available from the manufacturer, my fears waned quickly. Video instructions are fantastic, and I quickly learned the ins and outs of the drone's operation and its capabilities. There are three differing flight modes to choose from. C for cinematic mode, N for normal mode and S for sport mode. This drone is "light on its feet", highly maneuverable, fast, and super fun to fly. Set up was pretty quick and after an initial download of needed software and a battery charge, I was ready for the clear blue skies.
Like all of my drones, I did spend a fair amount of time reviewing the online manual for its usage. I would say that I'm on the more cautious side, so I wanted to be sure that I was able to handle this drone properly. The controls have a default setting (number 2) if you read the manual. Operation of the controls are easy, and the screen is brilliantly lit so it makes it easier to see it in direct sunlight.
What I love about this drone is its obstacle avoidance system. One very important note: Obstacle avoidance is "not" available in all flying modes, so I would highly suggest that you read up on and familiarize yourself with this topic. The drone is equipped with forward, backward, and downward dual-vision sensors which to help avoid obstacles. Better to be knowledgeable and avoid crashing your new drone, so read up please.
Flights were easy, smooth, and the general flight handling of the drone was uneventful. During my flights, I never experienced and communication failures. A few times during flight, I couldn’t see it anyone and yet it managed to stay connected. The battery is rated at about 34 minutes, and as a general rule that turned out to be quite accurate.
The drone weight comes in at 249 grams, which is under the weight requiring you to register the device with the FAA. The drone seems relatively well built; however, I would always suggest that most of your flights should be in a mode with obstacle avoidance enabled. The smoothest mode is the cinematic mode for obvious reasons.
Two of my favorite shooting modes are circle and rocket modes. The Mini 3 Pro has a f/1.7 aperture, takes 48 mega pixel photos, records videos in 4K/60 fps and can also slo-motion record. Video quality is awesome, colors were true to life and just breath-taking. I love the way the drone circles the subject matter while in the circle operation. You will have to experiment with your drone as to exactly what types of pictures or videos you wish to capture. Vertical video was fun to experiment with, as I never had a drone which was capable of this. I was unable to object track when in the vertical mode. I guess this is a limitation with its software/capabilities.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilization during video recording and picture taking. The playback quality of my videos was rock-steady, and pictures were always sharp and clear.
The drone comes with 1.2 GB of internal storage which is rather small. Therefore, I would suggest that the user install a Micro-SD card if you are interested in shooting videos, and for taking pictures. Video footage is amazing, and I can't wait to take this drone on vacation. My storage card is 128 GB and I have plenty of room for lots of videos and still pictures.
The Mini 3 Pro is amazing in all respects, and I have no real complaints. The drone is packed with so many quality features it's hard to mention them all. If you are looking for a world class drone look no further. This is an action-packed drone which has brought me nothing but great flying and photographic experiences. I'm looking forward to using this little baby a lot more in the future. One minor note: I would have liked to see an included carrying case as well as an extended battery as standard equipment.

The Alienware AW2725QF is a 27-inch IPS LED gaming monitor. I wasn’t quite up to date with the terminology of “IPS LED” so I had to research it to become more familiar with the term. Quote “The most common types of monitors include OLED, LED, and IPS. OLED monitors are known for their exceptional color accuracy and contrast, while LED monitors are praised for their energy efficiency and durability. An IPS is an in-plane switching (IPS) monitor a type of LCD (liquid-crystal display) monitor. They are known for wide viewing angles and their superior color consistencies” end quote”.
As per the manufacturer, this monitor has a 4K UHD resolution, a rapid 180Hz refresh rate, and a swift 0.5ms response time. It supports FreeSync technology and features HDR capabilities, including Dolby Vision and HDR600. All of these statistics and hardware enhance gaming and multimedia experiences.
After a very simple put-together of the monitors stand (hand tightening a screw) and a plug in of an HDMI cable
and power cord, the monitor was ready for playtime. This IPS LED monitor display is just gorgeous. It has awesome color definitions coupled with amazing color clarity. I didn’t have to calibrate the monitors color as it was stunning right out of the box. No matter what viewing angle I tried, results were fantastic.

So far, I played two games and I was impressed! The monitors performance, color output and the lack of screen tearing was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the build and operational capabilities of this monitor.
This monitor is in my opinion, a good performing product. The specs aren’t top of the line, however its performance is noteworthy. For the average gamer and or consumer, you’ll be quite happy with its overall performance. It provided me with a really nice experience and generally has a decent response time. As per my gaming experience, this monitor holds its own. It’s a really nice product and it’s superbly manufactured. This monitor is on my recommended list.

Standby Mode
December 30, 2024
I would like to additionally give feedback on this monitor when it goes into “standby mode”. It seems that the monitor can’t be awakened from standby by moving my mouse and or key entry on my keyboard. The only way to awaken the monitor is to turn the power supply off and then it back on. I have been working with a Dell Program manager and so far everything we have tried fails to remedy this situation. Will keep you posted if problem is resolved.

If you use a subwoofer, is it only connected via RCA connection or can you connect it with regular speaker wires?
Hi. I own this product and I had the same question. You can hook a subwoofer up in 2 different ways. One way is to use the RCA subwoofer out jack which is an RCA, or you can wire your speakers wire directly to either the right or left speaker jacks. I have mine wired with my right speaker, and my subwoofer works perfectly. There is nothing in the manual or online regarding g this so I reached out to the manufacturer who informed me of these hookup choices. Hope this helps you. I’m closing, this is a really nice product and I’m enjoying it immensely.
