 LG - 21.6 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
LG - 21.6 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
Use this LG refrigerator to get the most out of your limited kitchen space. While it fits into just a 30" opening, it has the capacity and storage features to keep lots of groceries fresh, organized and easily accessible.

I had an old refrigerator from 1984 that simply had to be replaced. I did a lot of research first to find out what the top rated and reviewed units were, and the LG kept coming up as one of the best. I also liked that the manufacturer put a 10 year warranty on the compressor - best one in the business.
Once I picked out the fridge, I got it delivered by a very competent team who took good care to both protect my home and set up the new fridge. The fridge cooled down quickly so I was able to put food back in pretty fast.
I love the fridge so far! The lighting inside is bright, the drawers slide smoothly, the shelves were easy to adjust, and there is plenty of space inside. It's a lot quieter than my old fridge was, and it's slightly smaller width-wise than the old one, so cleaning around it will be easier.
The freezer compartment holds a lot of food and the two sliding trays make it easy to access items in both drawers. Ice cubes freeze fast, too. (I didn't opt to use the icemaker, since I would have had to try to run a water line out there.)
There's even a cute little chime if you have left the door open too long.
All in all, I think I will be very happy with this purchase!

I had found a great deal on a used iPad on eBay but the cable was not charging the unit very well. I got this cable instead and instead of using the wall adapter, I plug the cable into the second port on my cell phone charger, and viola! Charging is not a problem any longer.

When it comes to dishwasher installations, Best Buy farms them out to an outside company. You are at their mercy as far as scheduling, and if you run into any issues, try as they might, Best Buy does not have a lot of power to help you.
My actual installer was a very nice young man, and he was efficient and competent. He had to get a power box installed under my sink to change the old hard-wiring to a plug.
It was just a challenge with the call center that reduced my score. The personnel were pleasant enough to talk to, but the process did take three weeks to get resolved, and reschedulings were not well communicated nor easy to follow up with.

My old In-Sink-Erator gave up the ghost after 30+ years of faithful service. I read the reviews of this Frigidaire and thought it looked like a good model. One of the Geek Squad guys gave it a thumb's up when I picked up the unit in the store as well.
I got it installed along with a new faucet and I love it. It's quieter than my old one was and it seems to be very efficient. I guess I didn't realize how much my old one had been degrading before the motor finally seized.
So far this little disposal is working like a champ, and its small footprint takes up less room under the sink.

This battery charges fast and lasts a long time. I got it right before going on vacation and after shooting a couple hundred photos a day, the battery was still going strong.

This little camera is really nice. Its small size makes it perfect to tuck into a day bag and take everywhere when you are on vacation. It auto-adjusts to the light in the room and takes really nice detailed photos. Add in the great price and you have a winning combination.

I was pointed to these speakers by a BB employee. I had some very old (read: Packard Bell) speakers that were no longer working right. I didn't want anything fancy and the employee recommended these as a good replacement. Set up was basically zero and the sound is quite good. Glad I got them.

Trying to broadcast YouTube clips though a phone was not a success, but I'm not entirely sure it was the fault of the adapter. Supposedly the Samsung phone I was using was capable of connecting through this adapter to a projector and broadcast the videos on the screen, but no image came through from the phone. I think we missed a step on the phone side, but we ended up returning this adapter and went another route instead.

When you are trying to show a movie outdoors in a park to a bunch of kids, you need to scale down, a long ways down. This little adapter was perfect to connect the DVD player to the the mini-amplifier, so we could hook up bigger speakers. And, movie night was a success!

do you need an electrical outlet under the sink or can it be hard wired......confused on wording of it as it says power cord included and I do not have a junction box to plug it in as my current one is hard wired...this may cost me more in the end if so

Yes, you do need to have an outlet. The installer can convert your hard wire to a box very easily (mine had to for both this and my dishwasher). Yes, it will cost you more, but it will bring your house up to current code at the same time.

Can I use these for a PC whose internal speakers are non-functional, or at least presently not recognized by the system?

I have a relatively old Windows Vista HP laptop whose speakers have a tendency to work on and off, with the left being seemingly permanently broken. At any rate, now neither works, & as far as I know, they may never work. The message that I get when I have hover over the Taskbar icon for sound is, “No Audio Output Device is installed.” Headphones don't work, either—any headphones. Now, if I buy these, am I going to get sound?
I would say no, because of the fact you do not get sound out of the headphone jack either. Does your laptop have a separate audio out option? If not, then no, these will not work.

As another way to try to get sound, have you checked the Dell website for any driver updates, or have you reinstalled the drivers? That might help.

how big are these?

it says on the specifications they are nine inches wide....each or together?
I think the 9" is how tall they are. Maybe together they might be 9" wide, but they are certainly not very big. They fit on either side of my monitor nicely.

USB compability?

My computer is an H-P HDMI, Windows Vista, 2008 product. It has two USB ports on the side of the monitor which I can use for speakers. All other ports and plug-ins are already occupied, so I'm looking for speakers that can use USB.
These plug in using the audio out port (the one that looks like a headphone jack).

It's 100% compatible for internet, but if you are using your Arris for phone as well, I don't think it can do phone.
