good webcam with nice field of view.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I appreciate that Best Buy had any of these in stock and at a reasonable price, given the shortage of webcams. This is a good webcam, a huge upgrade over built-ins, and better than the Logitech 270 or 615, both of which I have tried. Zero instructions included, the website is poor, but setup is plug and play. The image and focus are a little crisper and responsive vs lower Logi models. Note that the field of view for this webcam is wide -- you will be visible from the mid-chest to above your head if it is placed on your laptop screen. That is good for interviews.

Galaxy Quest is a wonderful and entertaining movie which deserved a larger box office success. It is the "Princess Bride" of pseudo science fiction movies. It belongs in everyone's library.

Acer seems to make good monitors at a very good price. This one is an example: this bezel, bright, uniform screen, no dead pixels, plenty of picture adjustments, tilt stand, and 3 yr warranty! Note that, as the specs say, this has a MATTE screen, not a glossy one. So, no annoying reflections, but less "pop" to the images. Also, no DVi input.

I bought this battery set and it is very good value, especially given that you get a nice box in the package. I tested the batteries and they are all good, but have not used them long enough to know if they last as long as other brands. I would expect that they will.

Ensure a ready supply of ink with this Epson 410 combo 4-pack. The high-print quality and smudge resistance of its Claria Premium dye color enhance the depth and clarity of photo images and text printouts. The individual cartridges of this Epson 410 combo 4-pack lower waste and cost by letting you replace only the color you need.

If you own an Epson printer, you should stick with Epson brand ink. This ink mutipak is a pretty good value, its reliability, quality and the number of pages you can get from the cartrdiges.

nice features and output quality, small footprint
on June 28, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, this is the second one of these I got. The first one was returned in 2 days for replacement (thanks, Best Buy) after what Epson called a "hardware problem," in which the black ink jet malfunctioned. This second one has been great. Easy install, easy network connections, lovely document and photo quality. I really like the rare feature of 2-sided scanning from the document feeder -- saves a ton of time if scanning two-sided documents. Also, the ADF will do 30 pages at a time. I am a longtime Canon inkjet fan, but chose Epson for the features and small footprint. So far, so good after several weeks.

This GE is basically the only microwave with short and shallow dimensions for special or existing cabinet requirements, and has been for many years. Therefore it is overpriced relative to its other capabilities. But it works fine and has the features we need, so we buy one every 5 or so years.

First impression: great

As an owner of several inkjets, Canon is my favorite brand, and I just bought this on sale for a college student. Fortunately the setup and wireless network connections went very quickly and without any glitches, for a PC and a cell phone, which is a huge plus. Early prints show the copy and print quality for text and graphics to be bright and sharp. Buying this printer at the sale price -- with a full set of ink --- was cheaper than buying a new set of ink cartridges for the old unreliable Epson, so it seems like a good move.

not the best. certainly not for the price.
By DCMLJ from Washington, DC
My wife purchased this all in one printer to replace an old Canon PIXMA. She didn't realize at the time that it DOES NOT include a fax function, which we wanted. We were almost willing to live with that. But then we found out that, unlike the old PIXMA that we had, the printer's scan software is a pared-down version called "scan lite" or something, which offers far less functionality than what we were used to. Strike two. The final straw was that while the printer says it can handle duplex/double-sided scanning from the doc feeder, what happens is this: The scanner scans one side of the page, and then you have to retrieve the document from the output bin, turn it around, and re-scan the second side of each page. Nope. Not for $200.
We returned the printer. Best Buy -- to their credit -- made the return very easy. In short, I would not recommend this printer.

So I made this purchase BEFORE Zoom got an update... grr! Turns out I don’t need this anymore since I can just connect my DSLR camera via USB and use it for Zoom meetings. In all fairness, (when I did use it) the quality was superb!

Are the ink cartridges that come in the box with a new unit full use cartridges or just adequate for setup and intial printing. In other words, do you need to immediately install new ink cartridges?

I asked that, too. They are marked "i" for initial, but Epson told me they are regular capacity. I can tell you that after set up and quite a few documents and photos printed, the ink levels are still above 50%. So they are at least of a reasonable capacity. But I accept that I will be buying expensive ink fequently.

In lieu of 18" depth for receptacle in the cabinet, can a 2" recessed receptacle be used allowing us to reduce the depth to 16" in the enclosure with trim kit? Thank you!

Yes. I don't know where your 18 inches came from : This shallow microwave is only about 13.5 inches front to back, including the plug, which I have plugged into a standard receptacle on the wall at the back of the cabinet. I am NOT using the "trim kit" so cannot comment on that, but this thing fits my 13 inch deep cabinet shelf and only sticks out a half inch.
