Set up and it worked great. Some complain about noise... it is a little loud, but only a little more than other refrigerated appliances. Dropping ice and water turning on are loud, but so is our big fridge when that occurs. The ice is good size, and it cranks it out faster than we can use it. The taste was off at first, but we purchased an inline filter, and now the ice is great! Highly recommend for anyone who's large fridge ice maker just can't keep up with the family during the summer heat!

Purchased this movie on sale. We had seen it before, but the sale of the 3D version made it an easy choice to pick up to keep. The 3D is awesome, and is a great add to our X-Men movie collection.

Got a 1/2 price deal on this coffee - should've bought 2 or more. The coffee tastes great - and the pumpkin flavor is wonderful this time of year.

Don't need to introduce this - as anyone that would buy season 10 has probably watched until then, right?! And if you haven't, you have 10 seasons of hysterical moments and tons of laughs to catch up on. For us, The Big Bang Theory doesn't get old, and we've watched beginning to end 3 or 4 times now, and still laugh at it. Don't wait, go watch!

This was easy to hang, and has a simple operation - press the buttons to drop it down or retract it and done. Remote operation works well too. We set up the screen in an area that has a light source (daylight, but not direct light) coming from behind it, and it still displays the picture well during the daytime. Very recommended for those building a theater on a budget.

We picked this projector up on a Deal of the Day on a whim. It had 3D and the price was very reasonable. Our expectations were not super high given the price, but they should have been - The projector is a super product! Easy to set up and get running, and the picture quality is great (HD, not 4K though). Bright enough for daytime viewing, but much, much better in the dark. We set up a 100" screen and watched some 3D movies (glasses purchased separately). The 3D was better than our other 3D TV, and with the 100" screen, was much closer to a movie theater experience than a regular TV. Highly recommended for anyone setting up a home theater on a budget.

As with all Marvel/Disney, the movie itself is excellent - story, plot, characters - it's, as always, top notch. But this movie is meant to be watched in 3D, and it delivers on my 55" screen better than most 3D movies we have purchased. Definitely worth the 3D purchase if you have a 3D TV.

I've used other off-brands, and some big brands, and SanDisk always delivers. I purchased this to use on a TV USB port to pause/record live TV, and it works just fine for that. I have another SanDisk Cruser (USB 3 type) that I use for file transfers between computers, and have never had a problem with that one either. Just purchased another larger one for the same use. Brand recommended!

This TV was at a great price, even with an extended warranty it was cheaper than most other Smart TVs of similar specs. Picture is great for a standard HD 1080 TV, and the Roku component was a breeze to setup. With the Roku, the TV is super useful, and we didn't even hook up our cable to it - wireless with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, with iHeartRadio and Vevo - you don't need much else!

The ninth season of The Big Bang Theory is better than previous seasons, and you'll laugh even harder than ever. If you haven't seen the show previously, then you obviously will want to watch from the beginning. If you have been watching, this season, as with every other, is a must see!

is the ice clear

The ice is not clear. It's not as bad as other ice makers I've seen, but it does have cloud.

If the width is 15" then why is the cut out dimension width 22". Would this unit fit into an 18" wide space?

Not sure about the 22" cut out dimension... I have it in a 15" space under a counter.

does this machine keep ice frozen until ready for use even if left for a few days

Yes. it keeps ice cold. I keep it on, and then pull the ice out and put it in our main floor freezer when that bin is low on ice. I do notice some ice evaporation (ice slowly gets smaller) as it stays in it for more than a couple days.

 GE - Smart Lighting Control In-Wall Add-On Switch
GE - Smart Lighting Control In-Wall Add-On Switch
Stop worrying about leaving the lights on with this GE Smart Lighting Control 12723 switch, which connects to the wiring in your home via 3-way or 4-way configurations to give you remote control of your lighting via your smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

Will this work with the hue hub and app?

First off, the Auxiliary Switch does not work on it's own - it's meant for using with a primary switch in 2, 3 or 4 switch setups (such as when you have a switch for a hall light on each end of the hallway). You need this: GE Z-Wave 960-Watt CFL-LED Indoor In-Wall On/Off Rocker Switch - which is more expensive than the Auxiliary switch, but required for a single switch setup or as the primary in a multi-switch setup.

Second, the GE switches are Z-wave devices. The Hue does not control Z-wave devices. So the short answer is no.

There are Z-wave controller devices that will pair with the Hue gateway that will allow a hybrid controller system, where the hybrid Z-wave controllers can talk to the Hue and control what Hue controls. http://www.vesternet.com/resources/using-z-wave-and-philips-hue-together - go here for more info.

What app controls the switch?

The aux/add-on switch model 12723 is not controlled by an app and will not work stand alone. You need model 12722 to act as the master. 12722 will connect to any hub or controller that accepts z-wave.

12722 model is the master, and is z-wave. The Aux switch 12723 connects to 12722 master. 12723 will not work stand alone.

I have a three way light that I turn on or off from two different switches. Would I have to replace both switches,if I use the GE model 12723 ?

You have to replace one light switch with model 12722 and one light switch with the aux switch 12723. 12722 is a master, and the aux switch connects to it.

Does this switch work with a myQ Chamberlain gateway

This auxiliary switch only works as a secondary switch with the Z-Wave master switch (such as the GE Z-Wave 960-Watt CFL-LED Indoor In-Wall On/Off Rocker Switch). It connects to the primary switch, and the primary switch will connect to a gateway. You need to check compatibility of the master with your gateway. Mine is used with Vivint home security panel.

Reclaim your floors with this Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy 206033-01 upright vacuum, which features Cinetic science and a HEPA filtration system designed to be hypoallergenic. The 13.4" cleaning path and edge cleaning help you pick up quickly.
 

This vacuum is good for dogs hair?

We have 4 Siberian huskies and 2 cats - constant shedding. Hair is a daily battle. This vacuum keeps up even better than the Dyson ball we've used for 8 years prior. We broke 3 other big brand vacuums in short order due to the amount of hair and use. The older Dyson kept up like no other (and still works, we just wanted to upgrade) - and this new Cinetic vacuum works even better!
