The Insignia 3.5 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer has one removable wire basket allowing you to keep bulky foods at the bottom and smaller foods organized on top. Easy to operate, turn the knob to adjust the temperature from - 10.4~ to -11.2~F. A defrost drain easily removes water for when it~s time to defrost, making for an easy cleaning job.

A month in, it's working great!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this in part for extra space, but even more so to avoid my refrigerator freezer's defrost cycle. That is very hard on frozen foods, especially more delicate ones like bread, so this freezer is where I will store things like that and anything else I want to keep for a longer time period. Temperature is consistently about -5 deg. F, when I check it, at the halfway setting.
Minor annoyances with the control panel: For some reason it has "play" (can be jiggled side to side in the main body of the appliance, which seems odd), and the light remains on when the freezer is plugged in, even if the power is turned off. I wish the light would only be on if the freezer is on.
An interior light would be nice, but this isn't that big to lose stuff in, and after all, I paid $150 for it. :)

This 40-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-40D510NA21 40" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.

Surprisingly good!

Picked up on a whim, for barely over $100 during a Deal of the Day. Everything about this is basic, but I was pleased with the image quality. Screen brightness is always a nitpick for me, and this one is pretty uniform. It’s not 4K, but for a 40” screen that’s really not critical. Highly recommended for a second, or even first, TV depending on your needs!

Good for a discounted price
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
This laptop is a good value for two to three hundred dollars off list price. For that price I'd probably rate five stars. It seems well-made and the display quality is satisfactory. Battery life is long (at least to start with). But for full price, the performance would be lacking. It doesn't seem to take much for the processor and memory to get bogged down and kick the fan into high gear. Granted, 8GB is the bottom wrung now for any type of moderate use.
One concern is that the fan exhaust/vent is along the back strip of the case at the base of the screen. This seems an odd design, maybe intended to prevent the vent from being covered, but it doesn't produce a lot of airflow and I wonder what this bodes for long-term durability. One the plus side, at least it HAS a fan, which can't be said for all laptops these days!
I recommend it for a steeply discounted price.

Its wireless, angled design eliminates cumbersome cords and displays your screen while charging. Rubber pads help keep your phone secure and the base from sliding. A blue LED indicator lets you know when your phone is charging. Perfect for a nightstand, desk or table, you can count on this charging stand to keep your phone charged and ready to go.

Nice charing stand

This charging stand is a bit underpowered by current standards, but it does the job when my phone is sitting on it for much of the day. Durability is good. I got it for a great clearance price. Indeed, I just might buy another one open-box!

Excellent for the price

Great optics and price on a lens of a basic aspect ratio that was missing from my collection. The relatively large aperture and Panasonic autofocus capability add value. Glad I made this purchase.

Love this receiver!
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an upgrade from an Onkyo 7.1 HTR I'd been using for about eight years. It was still working fine, but the time had come to upgrade to 4K pass-through and switching, along with Atmos. (The Onkyo didn't have integrated Bluetooth either.) The Sony sounds great and is pretty easy to use, though the user interface takes some getting used to and the amount of information shown on the display leaves something to be desired. HDMI ARC and CEC have also been a bit finnicky at times, but that is common and can't be blamed on a receiver that is a brand mismatch with my other components.
Overall the excellent value of this receiver among 7.2 Atmos receivers easily overcomes the complaints. I think this will get me through quite a few years.

This was an update for my old Halloween DVD; I never had even upgraded to Blu-Ray. The leap in quality and resolution is very noticeable. Another great horror classic for the collection!

Great value for 4K and Atmos decoding
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for an inexpensive way to have Atmos content through my receiver, as it cannot be delivered by my older Samsung TV Smart Hub. I can confirm this is Atmos-capable even though it's not in the official spec. HDR10 also seems to work. I'm not able to test for Dolby Vision. The unit also functions smoothly, and voice remote works. All in all, for the low Black Friday price I paid, this is a great and affordable upgrade from my previous Roku stick, which was several years out of date. Highly recommended.

Content is lacking, but can't complain for free!
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple TV+ has a lot of potential and was especially nice when it only cost $4.99/mo after the free trial, but I could probably count on two hands the number of titles I've found worth watching on it in a year or two of subscription. Finally I canceled it, but I'll go back to it with another free trial at some point (they're easy to come by) to see what's changed.
The recommendation and star "value" I'm indicating is for the free trial only. Value of paid subscription would be maybe three stars.

Sounded fine but didn't blow me away
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I suppose these are okay for as a basic up-ward firing Atmos speaker - they sound fine when listened to up close - but they didn't add much to my setup. I also found them a bit expensive for what they are, even on sale; I'm not sure the "Atmos Enabled" designation really means much of anything versus a regular small surround speaker.
The dimensions of my room and seating configuration seemed like they were a decent match for the angle of the speaker, yet I didn't notice much effect even with Atmos-encoded and -decoded content. There is more atmosphere from older "height" speakers I have high on the wall from a PLIIz setup. So I ended up returning these and sticking with the heights.
