Brings back memories
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed to have this on hand for the high school memories. Upon rewatching I've realized it's really not a very good movie! but I am still glad I bought it. The audio and video quality are fine - probably the best we're ever going to get for this now-somewhat obscure film.

Good choice for photo paper
on December 24, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have printed many photos on this paper using a canon PIXMA printer. The paper is nice and heavy, and prints are high quality. It is also reasonably priced, especially when on sale.
(Lately my printer has started to print inaccurate colors, but that's not the paper's fault!)

Great bedside clock
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this on a whim and am glad I did. I set the display to show the weather (and time). When the room is dark, the display automatically dims to a very low level. Each morning I tell the clock when to wake me the next morning, and I usually start the day with a "good morning" routine that announces weather and top news. The clock has an attractive, unobtrusive appearance.
There have been a couple of minor flukes: First, the display stopped automatically dimming, so I had to reset it (no big deal). I think that happened when I changed the Google account the device was tied to. Then, around the same time, the alarm sounded an hour late because it had set itself for the wrong time zone. The clock displayed the correct time (Eastern), but the alarm (set verbally) registered in Central. I corrected this by changing the home location in my Google account.

The Mr. Coffee Iced Coffee Maker easily makes refreshing iced coffee in minutes at home. The simple measuring system makes it easy to brew the perfect ratio of hot, concentrated coffee over ice, for bold, flavorful coffee that~s never watered down.

Not a big fan
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this with high hopes, particularly for the touted rapid cooling feature. But the brewing coffee comes out quite hot. I guess I should have expected this, as there is no technology in this simple unit that could produce any other result. So there is a lot of ice melt, but if you put the recommended amount of ice in the tumbler, it should still come out as intended.
The device is pretty flimsy, and the first one I purchased had a piece of plastic broken off the lid even though there was no damage to the box. It is also kind of a pain to assemble and disassemble.
This will fit the bill if you drink enough iced coffee to justify a dedicated machine. But I don't need another single-use appliance sitting on my counter. I am more satisfied overall with my manual cold brew carafe, and the taste is better. The only downside is you need to plan ahead a bit for it.

There's not a lot to say about a gift card; an electronic version comes down to ease of purchase, speed of delivery to e-mail, and ease of access, and those all turned out fine. The discounted price was nice, too.

Great for cutting small-diameter firewood
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this mainly to cut the occasionally small fallen tree for campfire wood. For that purpose it has been great. It can only cut a diameter of up to around 9 inches, but I think a range of 4-7 inches is ideal.
The saw is durable, easy to use, and compact. I have only used it for short periods at a time, so am not sure how long the battery would last, but it has caused me no problems so far. I have also not had occasion to purchase any other Sun Joe tools that could use the same battery, but it is nice to have the option.
The one minor downside - and this may be typical of chainsaws - is that it seeps bar oil pretty significantly if the reservoir is not emptied between uses. So you need to drain the reservoir and/or be careful of the surface the saw is stored on.

Works, but often lags
on February 7, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to stream my "free" one-year subscription to Apple TV+. That was my only purpose, since I already had a smart TV and an older Roku.
When this unit works, it does what I need. But it seems overly sensitive to Wi-Fi signal quality. Even when the connected access point is very close, the Fire stick sometimes lags inexplicably, even when no other devices on the same access point are having a problem. I also get the feeling at times that the processor is overtaxed.
Not bad for a holiday season price, and it gives abundant access to viewing material, but there are better options for most uses.

Pretty good for a Deal of the Day price
on February 7, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
Verified Purchase:Yes
This gets the job done if all you want is to upgrade to a basic head unit with Bluetooth. It looks much better than a single DIN unit in a double DIN factory slot.
Unfortunately, other than having somewhat larger buttons than most single DINs do, it doesn't take very good advantage of the space. The screen itself is much smaller in the face of the unit than it should be. Cost-cutting measure? Probably, and fair enough, I suppose, considering the purchase price.
Also, the keypress feedback isn't great - a little too "clicky" for my liking, and the knob seems a little loose and not as responsive as it could be.
The final two issues for me are:
1) The wires in the harness are very thin - they only have four or five thin strands of copper. I still got good enough connections to the vehicle harness using wire nuts, but it was touch-and-go for awhile there. Not much room for error!
2) The screen dimmer does not sync with the vehicle lights. (The harness has no "illumination" wire.) At first I was not happy about this, but then I realized that, having manual headlights, I usually have them turned on anyway. So I set the unit's dimmer to the clock setting and will control manually when necessary (there's a button for that). The screen isn't too bright anyway, as several other reviewers have mentioned.
This sounds pretty negative, but I didn't pay for a $200 unit ; rather, about a quarter of that. So I'll accept a less than ideal feature set. This looks good in my vehicle and does what I need it to.
(BTW, the ARC app connectivity is a nice touch, though I haven't tried it yet.)

Could be wrong, but I doubt this is possible. This is a question for Sony.

I am not familiar with your specific needs, but you can install a fully functional computer-based (not cloud) version of Excel, if that helps.
