Works fine, one iPad Air charge, would buy again
on May 16, 2025
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great little USB-A and USB-C charger block. Didn’t include power cord or wires (but who needs them if you already need a power block to plug into). A bit bulky, seems like something may work loose inside (questionable build) but works great so far. One iPad Air charge with Magic Keyboard (per charge), not sure of time needed. Several smaller devices were able to be done with one charge. Very small lights near tiny power button to know it’s charged , charging, or out of juice. Would buy again!

Magic Keyboard is an amazing companion for iPad Air 11-inch. It features an incredible typing experience, a trackpad that expands how you can work with iPadOS, a USB~C connector for pass-through charging, and front and back protection. Magic Keyboard has a floating cantilever design, allowing you to attach iPad Air magnetically and to smoothly adjust it to the perfect viewing angle for you.

Bought this only after 6 months without it. I don’t regret it, but it is big. Sure I can “scribble” text with the pen, but the keyboard is so nice when writing reviews online!

Works great as a dog collar attachment. Hangs a little low for my medium size dog, but has survived some winter nights so far. Glad to find such an inexpensive option for the AirTag.

Powerful iOS upgrade from my gen 1 iPad Pro. New pencil “2” works great for annotating/grading papers my students turn in on Canvas. Handwriting recognition works amazingly well, so much I don’t need a keyboard, I can just scribble in text boxes for written commenting. Didn’t need cellular as I have a cell plan with hotspot to use on the road. WiFi 6 works well too. Very happy.

Whether they are draped around the tree or along frosted garland, Philips Hue Festavia string lights are the ultimate holiday decor. A long-awaited addition to the Philips Hue family, Festavia string lights feature 250 mini smart LEDs along a 65-foot cord, making it perfect to decorate your tree inside or wrap around your home outside. Because it's a Philips Hue smart light, it works with all your other Hue smart lights, too. Set any scene in the Hue app and watch your entire space blend into a perfect harmony of color. You can even use Philips Hue + Spotify to play your favorite carol and watch your smart lights -- Festavia string lights included -- react to the beat and mood of the music. Connect them to a Hue Bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full power of Philips Hue, including the ability to control up to 50 lights and accessories, automations, and smart control from anywhere in the world.

Beautiful scenes, but automation needs upgrade
on January 24, 2025
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
First outdoor Christmas so far and they worked great, except HUE can only be programmed to turn on each night for a few colors, not the scene I programmed it to do. So, each night I loaded the Christmas scene I wanted manually with the app. Once this is upgraded I’d be happier with this purchase. I tried using apple’s Home app but it had less options. I believe HUE will make this better, hopefully before next Christmas!

Make a statement in your kitchen with a microwave that delivers contemporary style and smart technology. The striking WideView window, integrated pocket handle, and SmoothTouch glass controls offer a seamless look and intuitive operation. With Scan-to-Cook technology, send cooking instructions for ready-made meals to your microwave with just a scan of the barcode, or use sensor cook and auto cook options to eliminate the guesswork. For extra convenience, sync the microwave with your LG smart range to automatically turn on the light and vent when the cooktop is in use. Plus, clear the air with ExtendaVent 2.0, which expands to provide powerful ventilation over more of your cooktop's surface area.

Smart sensors, fan work great.
on January 24, 2025
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Super cool looking, smart sensing microwave. I’m used to using an LG with the sensor functions so this was an easy install with no learning curve. I like the added oven fan extension, though it does feel a bit under-engineered for durability. I’ll be sure to be gentle to it and be careful not to push down on it while cleaning off some spills while the extended fan is out and I’m using the microwave at the same time. As for the added WiFi and app linking, I cannot imagine why I’d ever need to be told that the microwave is done cooking with a text message. Maybe if I couldn’t hear the pleasant beeps, in a busy house full of loud kids I’d be happy to let me know to flip my defrosting food… but seems unnecessary. Maybe the WiFi will help diagnose future issues all on all Happy customer in first few weeks.

Air fryer has a useful purpose, just not everyday
on January 24, 2025
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Instapot pressure cooker user is impressed by the addition of the air fryer cover. It works just like my previous models, simple, convenient, quick enough. Adding the air fryer lid lets me brown the and less soggy-fy the pressure cooked food. But I’m still keeping my other air fryer. This instapot unit doesn’t stay out on my limited counter space so it cannot replace other appliances for me, but it does crisp up some food after initial cooking. Maybe someday. Only complaint so far is the really large air fry lid that needs to be stored. One impressive addition is the lid “base” that can avoid the awkward “where do I put the lid when I want to just eat”.

Would this 250 light set be enough for a 6'-7' tree?

I used mine outside across my house, but would definitely consider using it on my tree if I didn’t already have that covered. Go for it, the cool scenes you can do with the HUE app is worth it!

Apple-designed case shows off the brilliant colored finish of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and is thin, light, and easy to grip. Crafted with a blend of optically clear polycarbonate and flexible materials to fit right over the buttons for easy use. Built-in magnets that align perfectly with the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max to magically align with compatible MagSafe accessories. Built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.
 

Is this genuine apple clear case? I have read alot of bad reviews about it that it cracks very quickly ?

2 drops so far, in warm weather (summer), with no cracks. Just a few scratches.

Did Apple improve the buttons on this years case? The 12 Pro clear cases buttons were very hard to press and "Mushy".

Using this case 13 pro clear case on 12 pro. Buttons are stiff, not mushy. I have no complaints, but cannot compare your mushy XP :)

Floodlight Cam Plus - Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring app to see what~s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to.
 

Can this be hardwired to existed power source?

Absolutely. I removed the old worn out motion floodlight and simply wired into existing light outlet. Just be sure to not turn off that outlet! The WiFi is throng enough in the house thankfully. This unit would have to connect to WiFi.

The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).
 

Will this 2nd generation pen work with the iPhone 13 and o will it also work with the iPad version 14.6?

I don’t think any iPhones can handle pencils, just good old fashioned thumbs. For that, I’d check out an iPad mini…it’s screen size is perfect for a pencil of your just looking to take quick notes and doodle.

With the Gen 2 pencil, can you take notes on the new Air 5 and convert them to texts?

I’m pretty sure that you can in the notes app.

It's a huge update to Mac mini, ever. Eighth-generation 6-core processor. Faster 2666MHz DDR4 memory. A variety of new ports, including Thunderbolt 3, HDMI 2.0, and available 10Gb Ethernet.~ And blazing-fast all-flash storage so you can load giant files and launch apps faster than ever.~ The re-engineered Mac mini offers perfect performing. Ready for the desktop. And beyond.
 

My old MC Mini just quit. Am looking to buy the Mac Mini i5. Your store in Scottsdale is out lif I purchase one online can I bring the old and the new into the store and have the information transferred when the store re opens

Don’t have them do it. Just make a Timemachine backup and do it yourself. If you have a portable HD, which I must highly recommend, or even a large capacity SD card these days, you can make a time machine backup. When you power up the new one, the computer will ask you at the right time to plug in your portable HD and simply transfer EVERYTHING over to the new computer. If you have a larger drive than the new one, then you can just choose which apps Not to load on the new one.

Get more done every day with this Apple Mac mini desktop. A six-core 3.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM make completing challenging tasks easy and let this computer run programs simultaneously. This Apple Mac mini desktop stores important files and starts up in seconds thanks to a 256GB solid-state drive.
 

I have a older MacBook Pro and an iPhone 6s that I would like to that I would like to trade in for this. Does BestBuy allow for that or do I have to an Apple Store for that?

I have traded in several apple products to my local Best Buy for the past 4 years. Sometimes BB offers more than the Apple Tradein store, sometimes not. Whether yours specifically can be traded in for credit, you'll have to check their websites. Good Luck!

how to change water filter on keurig coffey maker

You’ll need to have the clear plastic filter holder that attaches the inside bottom of the water tank. If you don’t have a removable filter holder then you probably don’t need these filters. I have seen them for sale at Kohl’s department store, or online at Keurig.com...maybe look for them there if you think you’d like to filter your water
