I am a fan of these movies, particularly the first 2 in the trilogy.
Upon opening the package, I was disappointed with the packaging because it only has 2 places to push down and store the 3 disks. One place on each internal flap, lacking an internal flip divider to hold the 3rd disk (although clips are present for such a flip divider).
It appears the packaging distributor is trying to save a few cents by not inserting the middle flip divider disk holster and has opted to instead force one movie on one side and two on the other (which I do not think the packaging was designed for).

I love this flavor and think it is the best flavor Soda Stream offers.
I would recommend picking up in store though, so you can;
1) Check to ensure the product is before its "Best Before" date and
2) Avoid damage/ spillage due to Best Buy choosing to ship via a padded envelope instead of a box.

Needed a new card for my phone as well as one for a new Raspberry Pi. This card is overkill for what I actually need for the Raspberry Pi but for the price was an incredible value.
I would like to see smaller capacity cards offered in multipacks e.g. for the same price get 2 x 16 Gb cards etc.

Pricey for CO2, but not for canister + CO2

Tank as advertised. I checked the weight before removing the seal to ensure the internal seal was intact and the tank was full/ had not leaked. I normally will fill my tanks at a food supply but needed this one asap. I was disappointed as the tank refill expiration date (top of canister) was already past which does not impact this CO2 fill,but does mean I cannot/ should not refill it until I have it recertified/ tested.
Just putting this out there... I saw someone suggest going to a paintball/ sportings good store to have their tank refilled. I would highly recommend against that. Sporting goods and paintball store filler tanks and equipment used are not going to be clean or food grade. People use oil on the seals which is not meant for consumption and if you read the warning labels on paintball filler valves and paintball tanks themselves, many have toxin and known carcinogen warnings because of the process and materials used to manufacturer those products.

Great audio quality. The controls are easy to access and use when being active. I have not used these while swimming although it is great to have and use these in wet conditions and not have to worry about them. I also like the fact you can setup different folders so you can have and easily change playlists.

I had great luck with another washer pair from Samsung and needed to get a front loader for a second floor laundry. The washer is super quiet and can take full dirty loads and get them perfectly clean in about 30 minutes. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great washer and especially if you need to put it on the main floor or second floor.

Only the ones that say they are a digital download. Physical cards need to be mailed to you and/or picked up at a store. Check the other denominations for digital download options.

Your empty carbonator must be brought to the store during pickup to be exchanged.
 

How long does one canister usually last before it needs to be replaced?

That will depend on how much CO2 you use per bottle of soda made. The 60L indicator is referring to how many liters of "soda" you can expect to make with the canister when following Soda Stream directions. If you use more or less per bottle made expect the CO2 canister to last accordingly.

Can I zoom in with this mouse?

You can with the scroll wheel between the Left and Right buttons, however, you may need to make a selection on a webpage or program for it to work, e.g. within the google chrome browser you have to hold down the CTRL key and on google maps you need to click on the map and then you can scroll in/ out using the scroll wheel.

How easy is it to clean the brushes?

Does the brush get tangled in long hairs? I found that irobot's brush was hard to bush out.
From what I have experienced you will be very pleased. Many of the other robots are just sweeping and dont really offer the same coverage or suction that the Samsung Powerbot does. I love it and have not had any issues with hair binding up. I have a cat that sheds like crazy and no issues yet.

Additional dry time

I'm curious if you can manually adjust the preset dry time when selecting one of the different cycle options. For example, if I choose the sensor preset for "cotton" can I manually adjust the time to have an additional 20 minutes before beginning drying, or will I need to wait until the cycle is finished and then go manually add more time?
Thanks!
Hold down the "Dry Level" button for a few seconds.
