Review is for Earthrise Astrotrain figure
on April 9, 2020
Posted by: TySmeagol
Verified Purchase:Yes
Other reviews have already stated that ordering this online is basically like a "mystery box" and you don't know which figure you're going to get until you open the shipping box. While Earthrise Optimus Prime is pictured, I got Earthrise Astrotrain, which is fine by me because I wanted to get both figures and didn't already have them.
The Astrotrain figure has some pretty awesome call-backs to the G1 80s version with some good modern flare. He is pricey for the scale of the figure as he's really closer in size to the class below in this line. Earthrise Optimus Prime is clearly a better value. You do get some "deluxe" accessories with Astrotrain like a separate caboose that doubles as a weapons locker. Hasbro/Tomy use the more elaborate accessories to make up for the price point, sort of like what they did with the Cliffjumper figure, who's at least $5, but more like $10 too costly.
Anyway, only buy online if you're okay with not knowing exactly what you get! I expect that this randomness will deepen once the Earthrise line is expanded with additional waves of figures.

Keeps the dentist happy
on November 1, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Powerful electric toothbrush does the job - my dentist had been recommending my wife and I get Sonicare toothbrushes and these definitely make a big difference over traditional brushing with a basic toothbrush. It's not cheap, but it's better than a cavity!

I knew this SSD was going to be small - I mean, look at it next to that USB flash drive - but dang, the unboxing still had me surprised. So far this has delivered the high level of quality I expect from WD. Very good price with this Best Buy exclusive product. Just buy it!

This 4K UHD TV hits the sweet spot
on May 30, 2019
Posted by: TySmeagol
from St. Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've only spent about 4 days with this Samsung TV hooked up, but I'm very happy with it. This is simply a great TV with only a couple minor marks against it. The 4K UHD picture quality demonstrated on HD/4K streaming content and 4K Blu-ray is great by my eye. This model is packed with awesome smart TV features -- my favorites being the direct integration of Apple AirPlay and Apple TV, mainly because these are still newish features for smart TVs. Casting memories, videos and pictures from my iOS devices has never been easier. I noticed videos sometimes skip a little bit over AirPlay, but I'm not sure if that's a Samsung issue or an Apple issue. I think it was because some of the content may have been streaming from iCloud and wasn't saved as a video on my iPhone.
The only other nitpicks on an otherwise rock star TV are that the TV was a little bit of a pain to wall mount with extra work required to accommodate special Samsung stand-offs and a trip to the hardware store to pick up the right screws to connect it to a 3rd party mount. You WILL have to go through some extra steps to hang this on your wall, be ready. The TV manual is clear about the kind of screws you need to get and provides all metric measurements, so if you read and follow the instructions, it's not the end of the world. I also wish the Samsung settings menu came with a few more pre-loaded picture modes to quickly find the best balance for the show I'm watching.
Anyway, this is a very satisfying, high-quality 4K UHD smart TV overall and a good value for the price. Recommended buy!

Efficiency can mean a lot nowadays, and this dryer knows it. Its ultra large capacity will handle extra-large loads, so you finish your laundry faster. The Intelligent Electronic Controls with Dual LED Display make it easier to get the settings right, so you can just ~set it and go.~ The Sensor Dry System will detect the level of moisture in the fabric and automatically adjust drying-time and temperature. And, stay ahead of the cycle and access key LG dryer features remotely with ThinQ technology. If you appreciate efficiency, so does this dryer.

Lots of nice features, but slightly damp clothes
on January 16, 2019
Posted by: TySmeagol
from St. Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like all the features that came with this LG steam-capable dryer, but the basic act of drying seems like it may be just a little bit off in my case. Even when I set the dry setting to very dry, I have some slightly damp clothes after a dry cycle more often than not. Usually, it's just an item or two of thicker items like winter socks or the waistband of various types of pants/activewear. This either means I hang the items out to finish drying or do another quick cycle after pulling out the dry clothes. I'm not sure the resulting slight dampness is because I'm putting too many clothes in the dryer or if there was an issue with a moisture sensor or the installation. I'm not displeased with this LG purchase, but feel like it should have been better.

When you've got the power of steam, you've got the power to clean-from serious grime to your most delicate fabrics. The Allergiene cycle uses gentle yet deeply penetrating steam to remove over 95% of pet dander allergens. Simplify your laundry to-do list and access key LG washer features remotely using ThinQ technology. And, master multi-taskers take note: This LG washer is TWIN Wash System compatible, which means you can add the ingenious LG SideKick pedestal washer to tackle two loads of laundry~both large and small~all at the same time.

Good washer with bonus WiFi features
on January 8, 2019
Posted by: TySmeagol
from St. Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
This LG washer is a huge step up from the ancient top load Kenmore I replaced. The LG wash/spin cycles are very smooth/quiet and, most importantly, your clothes get very clean. I'm not sure how much the steam feature really makes a difference in terms of deeper cleaning, but It's nice to have the WiFi capabilities and get push notifications to my mobile devices when a cycle is done. Set up wasn't too difficult using the LG app and my home WiFi network. Even the chime played by the LG is a very pleasant little jingle when compared to the gratingly painful buzzer noise made by the washer I retired. I always felt like I lost a round in a game show when a load finished. The LG display can be hard to read and change settings, but it's not a deal breaker. The main dial and physical buttons on the new LG are user-friendly though. I know there are other appliances on the market with touchscreens and other bells and whistles, but it's a washer, right? Overall, I'm pleased with this LG purchase.

Greatly enhances my Sonos Beam soundbar purchase
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: TySmeagol
from St. Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased two Sonos PLAY:1 speakers to add rear surrounds to a Sonos Beam and I am very happy with the results. The audio detail is fantastic, even at low volumes and set up was very easy with my iPhone and Apple Music via the Sonos app. I think I may ultimately add some additional front surrounds and/or a Sonos subwoofer in the future to really get the sound quality to beast mode, but I'm really happy where I'm at right now. The Sonos ecosystem is awesome!

Great starting point to build a Sonos system

I just got started with the Sonos ecosystem with the Beam and 2x Play:1 speakers and I really like where I am right now for TV speakers and general music listening. Sounds from high to low are crisp even at low volume. Set up was very easy and connectivity to Apple products is rock solid.
