The only 2 features of this lock that make it worth more than any old Deadbolt are:
Remote Lock (oh no. Did I lock the door??)
Auto unlock and lock. (No more fumbling for keys)
Remote lock works...sometimes.. It can take many clicks of the icon in the mobile app to get a connection..

Auto lock / unlock has NEVER worked for me. I'm fairly technically savvy being a web application developer for 20+ years.
Tried all the help notes. (support for this product is very poor BTW. Limited to some brief paragraphs of text and in which they suggest you search the web for help..) Auto unlock has worked twice in the 6 months I have had this, and both times I was already in the house...
I have a 200.00 deadbolt that is also rather ugly. Although it is easy to grab.. It also makes a crude scratching sound when you turn it which seems uncharacteristic of the slick styling of the lock..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Reliability
We use these at work for storing video files and web design related material. We honestly have 20 or so. Some are 2-3 years old. Work great on Macs and PC's. We travel with them and use them all day long. It's a really bad feeling when a Hard Drive doesnt boot up.. You expect a Hard Drive to do one thing...,but when they don't, it's a sick feeling.. These drives are super reliable.. If for no other reason, they are worth it for that reason..
This product has... Reliable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size
About me... Budget Conscious, Work with large multimedia files, Business Professional
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: easy to install
What's not so great: Strange Picture
Easy to install, just leave them a little loose and all 4 holes will line up, then tighten. They give you two pairs of rear brackets for 2 different models/hole alignments. Toss the other two.
Stacking the units is very handy and has worked great. We put the laundry basket up on top.
You remove the legs to use this kit. They just unscrew.

I put a little square of thin hard foam from an old yoga mat under the place where the front legs were just to avoid unnecessary scratching. but not needed..
The pictures of the kit show those two plastic pieces. I couldn't for the life of me figure out from the photos what they could be! So I was a bit leary of ordering as after looking at the Units I had no clue where they would go..
But upon receiving them, it becomes clear. They screw onto the side of the Dryer bottom and the curve rolls over the edge of the Washer Top.
They seem to have an unnecessarily complex molding design that still kinda throws you thinking, "Something must attach to these"
A++

with the August Home Kit Blue tooth deadbolt do you have to purchase August - Connect AC-R1 Adapter for August Smart Lock in order to be able to lock & unlock remotely?
Yes you do, which adds to the crazy cost...The remote access feature works only "OK" for me.. I had to position the "Connect" almost right next to the lock to get it to connect. Very poor connectivity. I can use my Bluetooth earpiece across the street. but this August Connect can't connect to the lock from the next room.

Stacking Kit for Select Samsung Washers and Dryers
Conserve space in your laundry room with this stacking kit for select Samsung washers and dryers.
Is there an instruction guide for installing the stacking kit SK-5A?
I dont think I found one online. But it is very simple:
1- Lay the dryer on a soft surface on it's SIDE with door closed
2- Install the two plastic slides on the sides of the Dryer bottom. These curve over the top edge of the Washer about the middle side area.
3- Unscrew the legs from the Dryer
Lift and slide the dryer on top of the Washer. - *In the final position it will sit back from the front of the washer about 3 inches or so
4- Check which of the 2 pairs of brackets they supply have the holes in the right place by eyeballing them on the back. (You may want to bend the brackets you use into a slightly tighter angle to make the fit a little tighter, it made it easier for me to get the screw started, but its not necessary. I just pushed on it on the garage floor for a second to bend it a little more..)
5- Only start the screws loosely on the Dryer. Then slide the dryer slightly forward until the lower part of the brackets are right on the back of the washer. Wiggle until the holes line up,
6 - Start those screws and then tighten!
I put a little foam, under the sharp edges where the front legs came out.

Stacking Kit for Select Samsung Washers and Dryers

Do I have to remove the legs on my DV210AEW to stack over a WF210ANW?
The holes in the brackets on my SK-5A stacking kit are a little bit out of line with the dryer's. Do I have to remove the legs on the dryer so it is fully resting on the washer?
Yes you do.
The plastic slides also attach on the sides of the dryer bottom. Just leave the bracket loose on the back only screw the screws a little. I had to bend mine on the floor just a tad. Pushed on it and bent it over just a smidge. Also make sure you are using the correct pair of brackets., they send you two styles, slightly different holes.

What is the best laptop for a small business to run Quickbooks on
You could use most any of the Laptops really. Best to get one that has at least 3 meg of RAM. Get 4 if you can.For a bit of added speed, you could opt to pay a tad more for a Non Celeron processor.
Of course a larger screen would aid in reading your data.
We run Quickbooks Premier here on a desktop, and adding 2 megs of ram to get it to 4 megs made a difference in running reports and simply loading it upon start-up.
No special needs for QB really. Just some RAM..
