Probably great if it fits
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the purpose of this review I am assuming these sound great - if they can be installed. But I had to return them because the mounting ring is a non-standard thickness. It prevented my door panel from reseating properly. I used an aftermarket mounting ring that works for other aftermarket speakers of this diameter. If you look at photos of other models, the vast majority of them have mounting holes along a thin metal frame edge that sits more flush with the mounting surface. To be fair, I suppose, I was installing in a Ford Maverick, and Ford is not one of the brands listed on the box for this speaker. I had to buy another brand (Pioneer) and that worked fine.
Thankfully Best Buy did not charge me for restocking the item which did show minor wear and tear from the attempted install.
I am still recommending the item, since Kicker has good reviews all around for sound quality, and it probably fits in most vehicles as intended.

Nice value; sounds and looks good
on May 18, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great sound quality in comparison with Nest Mini for a reasonable additional cost; also looks nice and is generally convenient to use. YouTube Premium is a useful supplement for streaming.
I had mixed feelings at first about having a front-firing driver (speaker) instead of top-firing in the Mini, but it has worked out fine where I ended up positioning it in the room.
There are a few quirks in Google Home including coordination of multiple Nest audio devices, but they are tolerable, and I think eventually the system will be fully streamlined.

Worthwhile for both video and audio streaming
on May 18, 2022
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
The trial is fully functional, and even after it ends this is a very worthwhile purchase for frequent YT users. I have been subscribed for many months and forgotten what it's likely to have to endure ads. This also comes with full use of YouTube Music, which is important to have when using a Google Home device.

Good performer, well built
on May 18, 2022
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
The laptop performs well and has good build quality. I am very happy with the screen, which was a nice surprise as many professional reviews were not positive about it. Battery life is indeed long.
The downside is that even though software is up to date, there have been many instances of the screen failing to turn on when the device is powered up, requiring a soft reset. The system is up to date. I would rate 4 1/2 stars if possible but cannot in good faith give it a perfect score. I suspect it will be possible to fix this issue eventually.

Functional but a bit delicate

I purchased as a gift, and the recipient is happy with it. I have also had the opportunity to use it and deducted one star because the lid is a bit flimsy. Time will also tell how long the "opening mechanism" will stay functional.

Looks great and makes good coffee, fast
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used this most days for over a year, and it continues as well as the day I bought it. Coffee is tasty and brews quickly as advertised - and plenty hot. The reservoir is easy to fill. The carafe seldom if ever drips while pouring. The appliance also looks very nice on the counter. And it was a well-priced on a Deal of the Day.
A downside is that the basket or its surrounding housing drips a bit when the carafe is removed, and this seems to have permanently damaged the hot plate (have not been able to clean). This has not yet impacted functionality but is enough to lose a star.
However, I hope I don't break the carafe before the appliance itself fails, because I doubt I could find a new one. (Great, probably jinxed myself now!)

Good paper for larger consumer photo prints
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have printed many high-quality photos for a reasonable price using this paper in my Canon PIXMA printer. I have found that 8.5X11 is about the largest size photo that a regular consumer-grade printer can affordably produce (I have attempted legal-size prints but it is harder to obtain). Give it a shot (but good luck easily finding decent-quality frames this size!).

Allows playing and writing to DVDs of yesteryear
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
A drive like this is a necessity for the many modern laptops/notebooks that no longer have optical drives installed. The design is a bit flimsy (what else can we really expect for such an insubstantial device?), but it works. The second USB cable is a slight inconvenience but only needed if your USB port lacks sufficient power.
