Of all our Apple devices, we've only used AppleCare for repairs a couple of times, and we have a lot of devices. But the peace of mind for a worry free, inexpensive repair, is worth the extra money. It's a bonus that you can make monthly payments on this now through Best Buy, and it doesn't have to eat up your wallet the day you get your iPhone or other device!

It's an iPhone, so you can't go wrong. The camera on this is noticeably better than the previous version phone, and the higher memory at the same price point as last year's model is a good benefit. Best Buy's mobile folks were great at getting the phone on the AT&T Next program and getting the trade-in of the old phone set up and ready to go.

Returned this item, as the silicone was too stiff and was uncomfortable to wear. Might be okay on a larger wrist, but my wife's tiny wrist it just was not an Apple band.

This cable will charge anything the wall adapter will charge, including pros. The best thing about it is when you don't need a 3 ft cable wrapped up on your desk or wherever. Makes your charging space much cleaner.

South Park: The Complete Eighteenth Season [2 Discs]
This side splitting release from the satirical animated series South Park includes every episode from the show's eighteenth season, following the foul mouthed students of South Park Elementary as they lampoon everything from Oculus Rift to Washington Redskins.
Still fresh and funny after 18 seasons.

This is a great story done as good as or better than any of the bigger channels could have. It is engaging throughout, and makes historical characters even more interesting. Highly recommended as a good movie more than a historical one.

If you are a fan of man of steel, you will like this follow up film. It moves a little fast and they packed a lot in - it felt like it should have been a couple of movies, at the least. But they make it work well for the most part. Looking forward to the next movies for sure. We watched the ultimate edition without having seen the theatrical version first, and maybe that made the difference for us.

We have 4 Siberian huskies (constant shedding) and 2 cats, and Dyson vacuums are all that survive in our house - we went through 3 other well known brands that died within a year or two before we found Dysons. We now own 4 Dysons - Upright, Cannister, cordless, and now this one. And this one takes the cake. Picks up dog hair that has settled in the carpets. As a test, we vacuumed with the older upright the day before the new one arrived (which we owned for 9 years before purchasing this new one). We then vacuumed with the new one. It picked up so much dirt and hair that the older one didn't, you would have thought we hadn't just vacuumed with the older one. The tangle-less brushes are amazing too. Never mind the dusting accessories. It is much heavier than earlier models, but it seems to pull itself along too, so it doesn't break your back. If you have animals that shed, this is the vacuum for you!

One of the best superhero movies released. Very adult oriented though, and you won't want to let your kids watch this one - older teens maybe, depending on what you normally let them watch. There is a lot of graphic violence, rude language and jokes - and overall, super funny and entertaining - for the adult (well, adults with a sense of humor and not easily offended).

We kept running out of ice with our last fridge... no more! I work from home and drink iced tea all day, and my wife doesn't work and is a fish with water, so there's no time where we are gone long enough for a fridge to catch up on ice. In the month we've had this, we've run it out once, and 1 hour later, we had ice again and didn't notice it run out/low again. Our last fridge would run out, and take days to catch up. The overall layout of this fridge is really nice, with a lot of space for everything. The door in door feature is really nice to pull out just the milk or creamer, or a soda, without opening the whole fridge.

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.

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 ?

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.

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!
