Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, Sync Module Core included ~ System (White)

Bigger, Heavier, Poor quality, unreliable
on August 7, 2025
Posted by: MikeNavyVeteran
Verified Purchase:Yes
As an experienced customer having bough both Ring and Blink smart doorbells with no issues, this new generation device was a fail on so many levels: "Blink - Video Doorbell - Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, Sync Module Core included - White". First, it's huge and heavy, bigger than gen 1 which is odd because electronics usually get smaller in new generations. Second, the plastic around the lens is flimsy and wavy, very poor build quality. Third, it started going "Offline" a few days after installing. It would go back online, but I didn't buy a smart doorbell to work part time. I tried customer service twice and their messages back to me were cryptic and asked me to take so many steps. I may end up having to return this lemon.

Hot, perfectly made coffee brewed every time. Programmable up to 24 hours in advance, brew to your taste regular or strong. The large digital LED screen is easy to read and easy to use. Not making a full pot? Brew your preferred amount with the help of the viewable water level indicator for easy filling. The pause and serve feature allows you to fill your cup while the rest of the pot is still brewing. Complete with a permanent filter and dishwasher-safe parts and special cleaning cycle for optimal flavor, the bella PRO 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker will make mornings extraordinary.

Coffee overflows during most normal brewing cycles
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: MikeNavyVeteran
Verified Purchase:Yes
This coffee maker overflows. Specifically, when using all types ground coffee (store bought for drip, or fresh ground at home at any gring size including coarse). Whether I use the included reusable filter or paper filters, if you fill up with any more than 1/3 full off coffee grounds, they will not pass through the filter fast enough so the filter fills with water and overflows on top of the carafe and onto the heating plate for a robust sizzle. It got worse over time, so I exchanged it for new, and the new put had the same defect.

Heavy headphones
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: MikeNavyVeteran
Verified Purchase:Yes
The best buy experience was fine. These headphones, however, are HEAVY! and if you want to take them off and put them around your neck, forget it, they will grab your neck like a python. I also bought beats studio pro and frankly they are lighter and have almost the same features and sound stage with about double the battery life.

This case is supposed to provide magsafe magnetic charging. In reality, the magsafe strength is better without the case.

Your AirTag can~t keep track of your valuables if it~s lost or broken. Made of durable silicone materials, these cases fit securely around your AirTags so you won~t lose them while on the go. A spring-loaded metal ring with a wide opening easily attaches to a backpack, purse, suitcase and more, letting you to keep track of your items. A low-profile design keeps the AirTag out of your way, and the black color enclosure blends with your other accessories for a subtle look. They come in a pack of four, keeping all of your AirTags protected. Now you~ll have one less thing to worry about with the Insignia NS-ATC1BKX4 Key Ring Case for Apple AirTag (4-Pack).

Confused, being asked for a review of a membership

Verified Purchase:Yes
I didnt think I had this Totaltech membership anymore. $200 is a lot for Best Buy to auto renew. I had one over a year ago, but now Best Buy is asking me about my experience Nov 3, 2021 (a couple weeks ago), Now I am nervous. The membership is good when you buy a lot of appliances.

Get a better viewing experience with this Toshiba Fire TV Edition 65-inch television. Native 4K resolution makes content look sharp and cinematic, and the intuitive interface lets you access a variety of popular streaming services. This Toshiba Fire TV Edition 65-inch television includes a remote that lets you select movies and shows using voice commands.
A firmware fix should address this. If I reset to factory default, I will spend a long time logging back into my apps and probably not fix the problems: Amazon Fire TV give errors of "storage critically low" and the volume shoots up high randomly
