Bought this to go with the new Samsung 4K, HDR, 3D, TV I just bought. 4K is awesome on DVD's and the AT&T DirecTv channels. IMHO, DirecTv has a way's to go to get a 'great' 4K channel, but, am guessing they are working on it.
Having problems getting 3D to work with this this player and my TV. I know TV 3D works - have used my 3D disks with this TV with my previous player. 3D just seems not to work with this TV/player combination. Will play with it a little more, see if I am missing something.
Until I can determine things, will only give 4-Stars. IMHO.

Needed for my TV 3-D glasses. IMHO - A great price for what I needed, and should last a pretty good while. Also, spouse ('politically correct' - 'gender neutral') uses for 2 of her devices.
They should last me for 2 years. For me, for that time, about 1/2 price of other LI batteries. IMHO - YMMV.

This is a 30-day use review. I bought it for a specific purpose, and it has held up good, as expected. Bought this as a back up for my garage door opener, and my security cams on my detached garage. The cams use almost no juice, and I have never had to use the garage door during and outage. I have a 650VA APC in the garage and replaced it with this 450VA.
Had 2 storm outages since I installed it. 1 was long, other was a few seconds 'bump' My security cams power attached to this never lost a beat. Like I said - does what I wanted - kept my security cams alive - and will work the garage door, if I need to. Just IMHO, and my use YMMV.

Bought this on sale. Turned out to be a Great value for what I paid. If you need a small, or extra, freezer I would highly recommend this one - IF you can find it on sale - without a doubt.
So, why only 4-Stars? 1 - Not 'Energy Star'; 2 - Imho, not the best insulation. I bought a hot water heater blanket and cut to fit. WARNING - If you do this Do Not cover back vents, temperature control, or allow insulation to be allowed to get into the door and freezer. 3 - Wish it had stacked baskets to separate different foods. I will buy and add these myself. Did not expect such at this amazing price.
I really like this little thing. Keep an eye out for it on sale, and, if u need one to store stuff, and won't open it more than 1 or 2 times a month, it is an awesome little thing.

A nice travel cam. Fold down to protect the lens, opens to various sitting positions from flat or to fit a laptop. IMHO - not really HD. It works and that was all I needed. If you want more Hi-Def look for a higher level Logitech.

Wanted a DOCSIS 3.1, 32x8, modem. Got it. And, it works great. My Bad! Wanted a dual-band modem and I did not realize this level of modem, DOCIS 3.1 (so I believe) does not do dual-band.
Called Cox and setup was easy and fast. It has virtually eliminated the drops and resets in my connections.
Rated it 4-Star solely because it does not allow dual-band. IMHO - It is a Very good modem, and replaces a Surfboard that is 7 years old. Easy setup. Dealing with your cable Rep will, probably be your greatest lag time (good luck telling them what you have and need).

This pack of 42 Victor Allen's Coffee Peppermint Bark K-cups lets each person make individual cups of coffee in your Keurig brewer.

Customer Rating
4.0
(now, to finish my Review line - I like Victor Allen coffee, and I Like the price of Victor Allen coffee. The overall flavor is very, very good for the price, and, the price is Great.
This Peppermint Bark flavor is, in my humble opinion, not a true Peppermint Bark, like Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark. I found it slightly bitter, and a little off taste. After a few pods, I did come to enjoy it a little more, with the thought that soon, I will be back to Walt Disney World and get my Peppermint Bark candy from Ghirardelli's again.
I bought my first Victor Allen at my local DeCA (commissary) because of the price. I Like Victor Allen - and Best Buy's prices are really good. I Prefer 'Donut Shop', 'French Roast' - and, at the sale price of 'Peppermint Bark', I even like this enough to buy again.
My price range for coffee pods is $0.25/pod/>. I shop, I review, I read, before I buy. I think Best Buy pod sales are a good buy, if you like the flavor. I think you will like Victor Allen. YMMV and Taste may vary.

These alkaline batteries have a long shelf life, letting you stock up now without worrying about low performance later. Keep this pack of 60 AA batteries in the drawer or closet to keep favorite gadgets running or ensure flashlights are ready during emergencies.
Well worth the price - So, why only 4-Stars?
Customer Rating

These are just what I needed for my remotes, security sensors, LED flashlights. Have bought these in the past, and, from my experience, I get more per-battery-cost in battery use and life than I have found anywhere else, for the money.
So, why 4-Stars? BestBuy offers an extensive, and Great, recycling program. I just find it sad they do Not offer to recycle what they sell - i.e.: these batteries. I have to pay to safely dispose of them. Even so, still a good price for what I get. BestBuy - why not accept what you sell for recycling/disposal. I will still buy BestBuy - Just asking.

Will this unit run a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener for a couple of UP/DOWN cycles?
IMHO - Yes, it should handle this garage door opener. I have a 1 1/2hp opener and it worked with mine (test). NOTE - Check your garage door manual - or the sticker on the motor for the 'wattage' or 'amperage' rating. Not going into detail - If your opener 'use' is more than '1.5A' or more than 150Watts - yea it should work for you. Just don't expect it to open and close more than 2 or 3 times if your power is out.
Remember - Garage doors have a 'Emergency Release' handle. Pulling this you can push up the door to get out. Hope it helps - all IMHO.

what type refrigerant does this unit use?
Federal Law does not allow the use of Freon, or ammonia, as a coolant gas any more. Everything (that I know of) uses R-134 gas for coolant in all cooling systems in the US. This gas can be a R-134 or R134a gas, depending on its use - car, appliance, etc. (Please feel free to add, or correct, if it will help the question, or correct any error I have made.)

Logitech Wireless Combo MK320. The combo that puts entertainment and portability at your fingertips. With 11 hot keys, you’ll enjoy instant access to the things you do most. Low-profile, whisper-quiet keyboard helps make typing and surfing easy. And the mouse stores the tiny Logitech receiver, so you can take your mouse wherever you go.
Do the batteries go in the keyboard, the mouse or both?
Batteries are supplied with this. They go in both - the keyboard and the mouse. Read the instructions that come in the box. If you buy the keyboard/mouse off the street/garage sale - the 'keyboard takes 2 'AA' batteries, the mouse take 1 'AA' battery. I use BB (Dynex) rechargeable batteries. (I do Not advocate any brand - Use what you feel comfortable with.
