The product does its job. It removes water/moisture from my basement. It is very noisy. You wouldn't want it in your bedroom or living room. It came it a box that looked like it was opened before and returned. A part was broken, but did not affect the operation of the unit. I bought it and a day later, Best Buy advertised it on sale for $20.00 less. BB issued me a credit for the $20.00. No real problems so far,

I have used Intuit's TurboTax for a few years now for my taxes and those of some family members. It has been great in the previous years. However, for this year I am disappointed in the software. The main problem is that they are not current on some of the tax law changes that took place recently. They refer to the fact that you have to start taking the RMD at age 70 1/2. This law has been changed to age 72. Also, according to the recent CARES ACT legislation, you can avoid paying the 10% penalty on an early withdrawal of your 401K funds by filling out Form 8915-E. You cannot find this form anywhere on the software. The program sends you to Form 5329 which is not the correct form. I have brought this problem to the Help section and have not received a response or correction. This is just a warning for you tax geeks.

I purchased two Rocketfish Wall Outlet surge protectors. The price was reasonable and they hid well behind the TVs which were mounted on the walls. I feel comfortable now that if any surges hit my house, those TVs will be well protected. I also like the fact that when the surge protectors need replacing, that will be indicated on the surge protector itself.

We’ll do the heavy lifting and save you time and hassle. Enjoy the convenience of our installers professionally setting up and mounting your TV to the wall and configuring your video components. We’ll make recommendations on placement for the best viewing experience and conceal properly rated cabling within the wall in a single stud bay. We'll also add your TV and connected devices to an existing wireless network, perform any needed software or firmware updates, and configure up to two smart streaming services, like Netflix or Disney+. In addition, we’ll program the remotes that come with your equipment and configure an existing voice-control device for basic TV control commands. Once the setup is finished, we’ll take the time to demo your new technology and make sure you know how to use it. Finally, we’ll ensure that all wires and cables are neatly dressed, and that the workspace is clean when we finish. Best Buy’s TV services are backed by a 90-day limited workmanship warranty.

I use TurboTax Home & Business. I have to file IRS Form 8915-E to forgive an early withdrawal penalty of my 401K funds due to the pandemic. Does the software include this form? I cannot find it anywhere. Is there a number I can call for help?

Do the phones other than the base phone require connection to a phone outlet?

No. The four extra handsets that come with the base phone are usable simply by plugging them in to the nearest electrical outlet. This is a really good system.

Does this unit work on carpeted floors?

I would not use this appliance on a carpeted floor. When removing the water enclosure tank from the holding unit, it drips water and could go right on to the carpet. The handbook discourages using the appliance directly on a carpet. A water holding pan should be under it.

Load more, run less in this fingerprint resistant dishwasher with 3rd Rack. Load bowls and mugs in the 3rd Rack to free up space below, and fit tall items where you want in this dishwasher with adjustable rack. Plus, you can move or separate the flexible 3-Piece Silverware Basket to make extra space.
 

Are there any models of dishwasher that you can put the silverware tray in the door?

We asked the same question. We were told there are none. However, this dishwasher has a shelf on the top where you can place large utensils. The silverware comes out very clean from where it rests on the bottom rack and the basket has individual slots for the silverware. We are very happy with the model we purchased and the installation went smooth.
