I needed some speakers that would play music loudly and clearly from my laptop and iPhone. This is great. I have used it to stream Bluetooth without drops. I also use it with a cable directly to my TV and it has great sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For its size, the sound is great with great clarity and decent bass. The build quality is excellent. The weight is good. It easily connects to my laptops, iPads and iPhones. The sound can fill a room at moderate volume levels.

My third Apple laptop. Runs well. No issues with using it. Battery life is more than 9 hours. I have no issues with the trackpad like I did with the Windows computers. Almost don't have to do any research prior to buying since I know it's going to be great.

Excellent fan. Not too noisy. It is working great in my kitchen. It is not too small or large. The fan noise is fairly low but it is strong enough to move the air in the room very well. I have used this on my sailboat cabin as well and it works great there.

The cover is excellent except for the home button area. The raised plastic gets in the way of your finger or thumb. Also the plastic covering the home button interferes with finger print reading. I tried saving the fingerprint after putting the cover on but the plastic tends to bunch up and thicken in areas preventing the finger print from being read. I tried 3 different colored cases with no luck.

Give your family safe, fresh-testing water with Samsung genuine filters. Samsung water filters remove over 99% of numerous harmful contaminants, including lead. Each filter lasts for 6 months or 300 gallons.
 

Which filter for my RS255BASB?

I have the Samsung RS255BASB and my manual says my replacement filter is #DA29-00003A but I am having a hard time finding it. From what I have been reading here it sounds like the 3A was replaced by the 3B and now the 3G. Is this correct?
It seems to work exactly the same. I have also bought the other brand that BestBuy offers like the insignia. They all fit.

Can't print?

I have never been able to print one clear copy on my new printer. I have gone through one entire black cartridge trying to correct the problem. The copies come out streaked with printing on about every third line. The print is extremely light even on the third lines. The ink cartridges are new and full. Nozzle cleaning performed multiple times. Head alignment is barely visible - also streaked. Head alignment performed at factory setting and other various numbers. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
I would take it back to Best Buy and exchange it. Might be the print head is bad.

Replacement Filter and Ice Problem

What replacement filter is needed for Model: RF26XAERS? I have the Samsung French door RF26X Series. Also, the ice maker only dispenses crushed ice. The light under cubed ice will not even turn on. What can be done to fix this?
