When I factor in the sale price I paid for this + How my first dish turned out + The small size of the individual cookers - WoW! I luv it.
I measured the capacity of the cooker pots - 4cups w/ some room let for couple pounds of meat. IMHO - I would not mix more that 2cups of sauce for 1 1/2lbs. of meat. The size of each cook pot is perfect for a dinner for up to 4 persons. I tested it with 4cups of 'my' sauce + 1+lbs. of pork loin. Set to 'Low' for 8 hours. Tried to take meat out it was so tender it literally shredded when I picked it up. Ended up with 'pulled pork' instead of a pork loin. (IMHO - cooked to long, will learn over time.)
Tested 'power consumption' of the 'Low' and 'High' setting using a power meter: 'Low' = 75watts, 'High' = 100watts. This was true for each cooker, so, total power is how many pots you are using, and each individual setting ('Low' or 'High').
BTW - I would Never suggest this be used in any room, on any trip, to anywhere, ever. (But, a nice warm stew on a winter trip when u get back to your room is soooo good.) Wherever you stay, I am sure will provide excellent, outstanding foods, for your enjoyment.
I own 2 other 'slow cookers', both larger than all 3 of these bowls combined, and use at least Twice the power on 'Low' than all 3 of these combined. This - IMHO - And from my first use - is one of the best cooking items I have ever bought. I just hope it holds up long enough for me to enjoy using it - time and time again.
Lastly - Never, Ever use this in reach of a small, curious child, where they can reach it. I measured 'Low' temp and it seems to evens out about 'about' 160degrees. Not something I would want have happen to my grandkids. Use Safely and Responsibility.

Using on TV with Cox cable (and their 'required', new, [imho] sucks price increase pay-if-you-want-it, decoder), and DirecTv. Good for me to isolate my DirecTv from my cable provider. IMHO - keeps them from 'tracking' me. YMMV - and a real pain to keep pushing buttons to switch from one service to another - But, it works for me, and now my cable provider, or DirecTv, can't track what I watch. IMHO - Yea, I like it . . works for me. IMHO - Great for many HDMI in-puts and only 1 or 2 HDMI connections. Just get use to pressing extra buttons.

(** My rating is actually 4.5/Stars - but BB don't offer a 1/2 Star option.)
Been using for couple months now. This has been a very, Very good keyboard/mouse combo for me. Bought it on Sale in my local BB, and had a 'Rewards' coupon about to expire that I used. Combined, the price was Fantastic. (I can't tell you the final cost for this was 25% of the [then current] retail/shelf price or BB may ban me to Tar-Jea for ever.)
This keyboard/mouse combo fits my need perfectly. It IS NOT a gaming combo. It pays my bills, lets me surf, have fun on cam/social media sights, and chat with family - with no problems. Works for me - If you want more look else where. I got what I needed and wanted.
Happy Shopping.

Price I paid led me to believe this may be a hoax, or misprint. . . ordered it anyway.(Duh! . . Dummy?)
Got it and, great, price it was a USB 3.0, and a real 128GB. Use it now for backups on my laptop. Don't use it on my desktop since it is old.
Heard you can 'tweak' cell phone with '32 GB' to take a BIG one. YMMV . . If you can find a way. . . . Plz, let us know. Bottom Line . . . I Like this SD Card ! ! !

Bought on-line and compared to in-store. Saved 1/2 cost. Told in store they 'always' match on-line prices. . . . Yes, my store in Destin, Fl., always does. . . . IF they have it in stock when u go to the store to 'price match'. (HEY. . Not their 'Bad' . . They do sell out of some things.)
Bought mine for POE security cams, and the cable works Great. Why 4-Stars? Because less than current, updated, Cat-6e standard. Works for me, for what I have, and my cams (. . . which are (imho) cheap Foscam and Amcrest cams . . but, for the cost . . do work well for me . . . YMMV.)
Cables are what I needed . . and work Great. All my POE cams are connected and work the way I want.

It does do all of that, and handles 2 devices with no problem. But, If I had the time/days to wait, I would have shopped around, as I have done since. IMHO - Expensive . . and I am a Very Frugal buyer. If you buy this, anything, from Best Buy, shop around after you buy it. They have Always been fair and fast on matching prices and refunds with me (see their 'Price Match' policy). I just needed this really fast for a trip. No complaints from me.

(vs. Kindle Fire HD v.8.5) For the price, pretty darn cool. Lot faster than my old Fire HD. Don't like the display screen - to much app clutter. WiFi not the best for speed connection (tested over 4 connections). All-In-All . . for reading, kids, an easy device, and fast . . Yea, it is Good buy.

Needed a small, inexpensive UPS for my detached garage for garage door opener, emergence light for outages, and to keep my 3 security cams working during outages and power bumps. This UPS was twice the power I really needed, but, on sale, was a great buy, from a reputable company.
Gave it 4 out of 5 Stars because, imho, any and all UPS's over 500VA should have a cable connection, for stand-alone TV's.

APC - Back-UPS 450VA 6-Outlet Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector - Black
Keep your office equipment safe with this APC battery backup. It has six outlets with surge protection, four of which also have backup protection to keep your important electronics powered short-term during an outage. Audio and light alarms on this APC battery backup let you know if something is wrong.
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.)

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.
