Great little machine

This works great. It is much smaller and, of course, has many more features than the old no-longer-working one it replaced.

Great baking results

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is our 4th bread machine It is by far the best (so far anyway) right out of the box. Great instructions and recipes. The very first loaf rose nicely, had a very even texture, and the crust was the expected golden brown. Yeast bread dough and baking cycles can be tricky and take some adjusting, not with this machine.

Love the great light--time and temp are bonuses
on August 29, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this lamp more than I expected. I wanted it to take along when traveling so I'd have reliable light in unfamiliar surroundings, then decided it would be handy on the bedside table between trips. I like that I can choose the brightness needed. When I had a project spread out on our dining table I moved the Ott light there rather than using the overhead light. Perfect!
Setting the clock and calendar is a little tricky because the buttons are small and close together. If you don't need the clock you could just leave it unset and unlighted at night. I think the temperature might still be right.

It takes getting used to, but I think I'll love it
on February 28, 2020
Posted by: Loves2teach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had a different style stand mixer for nearly 42 years. It recently started making a siren like noise and occasionally smoking! so I researched what to replace it with. This was the winner, hands down.
The first time I used it I had to figure out how to use the shield to get ingredients in the bowl and was surprised to not be able to scrape the sides of the bowl while it was running. I immediately ordered the beater with the attached scraper and think I'll like it. It's heavier to lift from the shelf below the counter to the counter-top to use, not a problem for now, eventually I might get a cover and leave it out all the time.
I definitely like the metal mixer bowl with the handle. It's lighter than the glass bowls I was using before and much easier to pour batter from into a baking pan. I also like the low mix speed to use when first adding ingredients, the easy to scrape beater, and the power to handle heavy dough (monster cookies). The red is a beautiful color.

so far, so good

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like my Fitbit 3. I wasn't sure that I'd enjoy wearing and using an activity tracker so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one that would soon be put away. I think this is a good "beginner" tracker.
I did quite a bit of online comparing. I'm getting along fine but I wish that 1. I'd known that several features would require purchasing apps, not just downloading free ones; 2. that there had been more printed instructions about getting started in the box, though I found the manual online with no trouble; and 3. that I'd realized how much connecting to my iPhone is required, such as to check sleep report, though I'm getting along with that, too.
I thought that there would be an easier way to remind me to get up and move around than for me to set an alarm for 20 minutes, the 10 minute before the hour automatic setting is rarely a convenient time to be told I need more steps.
Beware: I thought I was a great sleeper, turns out not so : )

S'ip by S'well is swell

I did a comparison with my older more expensive brand cup with coffee directly from my single-serve pod coffee machine. I got both as Best Buy "Deals of the Day." After a half hour both were still too hot to drink, by lunch this one was just right temp, while the other was somewhat cooler, and about 7 hours after filling and having been opened twice S'well was warmish, the other cool.
The inside of S'well has less of a "shoulder" shape so should be slightly easier to wash, though the other one is easy enough. The sock design with white background is cute and easy to spot in the bottom of a tote. It did not leak even when upside-down. Only shortcoming is that it doesn't have a finger-hold opening in the top that would make it easier to grab and go.

I needed a better picture to show me how to attach the flash drive to my camera and then to download to my iPad and PC. It was not immediately plain to me that the curved "spoon handle" end can be straightened.
The flash drive met my immediate need, which was to be able to delete pictures from my phone to have space for more. I know my downloaded photos are safe and that I can get to them, but I wish that it automatically had saved them in date order and had eliminated duplicates. This is not the product for that task, but it didn't claim to be.

Received this lamp the other day and the brightness is fine however the DAY of the week does not match up with the DATE. Like today, it says SAT the 9th when it's actually SUN. Help

The trick is to be sure you have the calendar set for 2020. I learned this by calling the customer service number on the instructions. The customer service agent was very helpful and emailed brief instructions promptly.

How bright is this

Bright setting is really bright--like daylight, the lower setting is bright enough to read by. I think even the lowest setting is too bright to leave on as a nightlight.

Insignia Pressure Cooker Product Recall. Nothing is more important than our customers~ safety, which is why Best Buy has voluntarily recalled certain models of Insignia pressure cookers and inner cooker pots in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada. The recalled pressure cookers have incorrect volume markings on the inner pot. This can cause consumers to overfill the pot and hot food and liquids to be ejected when the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while its contents are pressurized, posing a burn hazard to consumers. Learn more and register for the voluntary recall at https://www.recallrtr.com/pc.
 

I want to buy Instant Pot.Does Insignia 8 qt Digital Multi Cooker Stainless steel Model:NS MC80SS9 and SKU:6258941 priced at $49.99 fall in the catagory of Instant Pot.

Yes, though some features are different.

Just purchased thru Best Buy the Insignia 8qt Digital Multi Cooker and excited to begin but do not understand how to first clean the machine before use? Tried to find on UTUBE but did see it. Can you assist me to make my purchase a way to get started.

I washed the inner pot with clean hot soapy dishwater, wiped off the exterior cooker with wet dishcloth. My lid arrived correctly assembled and I've not needed to disassemble and reassemble. I do not submerge the lid and use only plain warm water as I don't want to risk not rinsing all the dish detergent off in case it would make the seal ineffective--I think I might be too worried about that. I air dried the lid in the dishrack and then because some water dripped out when I changed the position I left it to dry longer at a different angle.

Carry your coffee or cola with this 16-oz. S'ip by S'well travel mug. It has a Jersey Blue exterior for a fresh pop of color, and the leak-free top twists on securely to keep contents from spilling out while traveling. This S'ip by S'well travel mug has stainless steel insulation to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the day.
 

Does this fit under a Keurig?

I have to remove the 2-part drip-tray and put the S'ip on the base. I think the Keurig was designed to be adaptable this way.

Do I need a computer to download photos

It won't be so handy, but actually I think it is possible if your purpose is to find a few pictures and get prints made without downloading on a PC. You should be able to take the flash drive to the do-it-yourself kiosk found in various businesses or to the place where you ordinarily have had pictures developed, if one still exists in your community. If you monopolize the machine for very long you're not going to be very popular, but if you don't have hundreds of pictures to search through and select it should work.

By computer I think you meant a desktop or laptop, but if you have a fairly new tablet such as an iPad, that will work to download, search, organize, delete, etc.. There are also devices that look a lot like a picture frame that you can download digital pictures to just for viewing that might meet your needs, for instance to give to non-computer owning grandparents then send them the drive with pictures from a school program or big event.
