Frigidaire - 3.3 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge - Stainless Steel
Frigidaire 3.3 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator: Store essentials inside this Frigidaire compact refrigerator, which features a SpaceWise adjustable glass shelf, a 6-can rack and other storage space, so you can keep snacks and drinks properly chilled. Simply select the appropriate temperature using the mechanical controls.
Basic "dorm" style mini-refrigerator
Customer Rating
3.0
This is a very basic unit: single door, ice-cube tray freezer section, 3+ cubic feet. Good for holding small amounts of food items and beverages. On testing, I have found that the refrigerator section tends to way over-chill - it is hard to keep items in it from freezing - while the tiny freezer compartment can barely freeze ice cubes. I added some styrofoam insulation to the defrosting tray under the freezer compartment to help balance the temperatures, with moderate success.
This unit does have removable glass shelves (for easy cleaning), an interior light, and a temperature dial. But it also wastes space with a clumsy to use built-in soda can "tower" that is hard to access and can't be used for anything else. There are also no vegetable/fruit bins.
Note: as with ALL mini-refrigerators these days, the compressor coolant is propane (not freon or other CFC). This is done for environmental purposes, but is a yet-to-be-proven technology. Previous experience and comments from appliance repairmen indicate that these compressors will have very short life spans. One to two years is typical, but we had three previous Kenmore models fail in just 18 months. If the compressor dies, repair isn't an option, as it would cost more than a new unit.So... Regretfully, consider this an "expendable." Therefore, against usual purchase recommendations, I got, and highly recommend, purchasing the available extended warranty for this product. Of course, it may last for four years, but I'm not willing to bet on it.
Bottom line: it's cheap, mostly functional, and serves its purpose. If it lasts for several years, it will be worth the outlay.

5.0
This little VDSL modem is basic - no "bells and whistles," no built-in router, no multi-unit connectivity, etc. - but it does what it does flawlessly, with very good throughput speed. It is also compatible with most every service provider.
The only downsides: The included setup instructions are woefully inadequate and reaching Customer Support is very difficult without computer access, which you probably won't have before you get the modem installed! And, finding the Customer Support telephone number is very difficult (unfortunately, it is not printed on the installation instructions). Once reached, however, Customer Support got it up and running very quickly.

Sony - 40" Class (39.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV
Enjoy outstanding color and rich visuals with this Sony 40-inch LED TV. A pair of HDMI inputs allow you to connect up consoles and DVD players so that you can enjoy full HD resolutions from your media, and the Motionflow XR 120 technology in this Sony 40-inch LED TV reduces blur for clear pictures.
Good HDTV for price
Customer Rating
4.0
Stylish, thin TV with a very good, bright, and sharp picture, 120Hz refresh rate, 2 HDMI inputs, and full function remote. Compatible with all input formats (cable, satellite, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.). Many fine adjustments and personal settings available, but one important setting is missing: there is no ability to modify the zoom defaults and all result in major image truncation (cutoff). Sound is okay, but a sound-bar or other speaker system would help a lot. Also, audio out (for headphones) is mono only. While not a high end product with "smart TV" functions, UHD, 3D, etc., this is a fine "economy" choice.

where are the accessories to separate the freezer part from the refrigerator?
?? There are no accessories, save for two mini ice-cube trays. The freezer compartment is the cooling element, big enough to fit four ice-trays, with a flip-down thin plastic door and a shallow, removable "defrosting" tray mounted beneath the compartment. Since all the cooling comes from the freezer compartment and cold air settles downward, as delivered, the bottom of the refrigerator was actually colder than in the freezer section. This can be somewhat mitigated by adding a styrofoam insulation sheet to the defrost tray, to slow the descent of the cold air. I used the packing that came with the refrigerator to cut a styrofoam sheet to fit.

Are there any buttons on the TV? Power, volume or input? Or is it remote control only?
Remote only, except for a power button located on the left side in the auxiliary input panel.
