This 20 cu. ft. refrigerator has a counter-depth design that gives it a built-in look. But the beauty of this French door refrigerator goes beyond the exterior. The ExtendFresh temperature management system and produce preserver help keep food fresh. LED lighting throughout the refrigerator makes food easy to find on every level.
 
It's quiet, looks great, and produces ice fast!

It's a beautiful refrigerator. Although this is 3 cubic feet smaller than the side-by-side we are replacing it seems to have more room. The doors hold a lot of stuff because the ice maker doesn't take up door storage space. There are plenty of shelves to customize. Gallon milk jugs can fit in the door shelves! It's quiet. After installation it cooled to 38° degrees within a few hours. The freezer also cooled to 0° degrees within a few hours. The manual said to wait 24 hours before putting food in but that is not required. A few hours and you're ready to go! It also started to produce ice within about 4 hours. And, it produces ice very fast! So far so good!

Power your device with this 15W USB-C Port Vehicle Charger with 6ft coiled cable. Its coiled cord prevents it from tangling when you pack it for a trip, and the reversible plug lets you connect it to a smartphone or tablet from either end. This Insignia USB Type-C car charger has a 3-amp output for fast charging.
 
Works okay. Six feet long is a stretch, literally.

It's six feet long if you pull and pull. The coiled cord is tight. I had a little difficulty getting it inserted into the car port. It's a snug fit and you really have to push it in there. At first use I thought it was defective because my phone wasn't charging.
I had to really push it into the car port for it to engage. There is no LED indication that it has power. For $20 they could have installed a simple LED showing that it has power.

Keep watch day and night with the SimpliSafe wireless outdoor security camera. It has an ultra-wide 140 degree field of view—so you can see what happens on your property, 24/7. With 1080p HD resolution, it can zoom in up to 8x, so you can see details like license plates and faces from up to 15 feet away. Its motion-activated spotlight shines whenever someone approaches—so you can see who’s there in color, even when it’s pitch black. And with smart person detection, you get alerts whenever someone approaches your property. Two-way audio lets you hear and speak to unwanted guests (and welcome ones too). It has 2 Wi-Fi antennas, so you get strong performance wherever it is on your property. And you can set it up in just about five minutes, no wiring needed. With the award-winning SimpliSafe home security system (requires a SimpliSafe Gen 3 system), it is advanced security from the outside in.

I bought this camera direct from SimpliSafe so it won't show my review as "verified". I was looking for a wireless camera and this camera doesn't disappoint. It's 1080p but the image quality is excellent. The magnetic base is awesome and allows almost unlimitless mounting configurations. It goes to sleep when motion is not detected. If you have this camera in a high-traffic area you will have to charge it more often. I have two. One at my front door and one off my deck in the backyard. We have two dogs so the camera off my deck triggers a lot more activity. I installed both cameras around October 1st. The camera near our front door is still at 96% battery life. I have just pulled the camera from our deck (with heavy backyard and dog activity) because the battery was depleted. So, with high activity the battery lasted about 40 days. I just recharged it and put it back into action. A minor inconvenience for a good quality image with no wires! The night vision on these cameras is also great. If you are looking for a wire free outdoor camera with little fuss other than the occasional charge, this is it. The magnetic mount makes taking it down, recharging it, and putting it back into service a breeze. Your base unit will alert you when it's time to recharge the camera. Simple!

Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware, and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced clean-water wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks.
 
It's definitely worth it!

Wow, this dishwasher is fantastic! It's super quiet. Excellent cleaning capabilities. We didn't think we would like the 3rd rack but it is a must! It works so well. We can fit so much more in this dishwasher than previous dishwashers because of the 3rd rack. The door closes with a nice click. The soap dispenser door works great. There isn't one thing I can say about this dishwasher to improve on it. It's worth it!

Wow, simply a beauty to behold! 86 inches is huge! It's quite thin for its size. I really like the LG webOS. It's easy to navigate. It pairs easily. The colors are fantastic. I love that the remote has quick keys for Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. I'm using the JBL 9.1 wireless sound bar with it but the sound from the built-in speakers are quite good for a thin TV!

It worked for a week or so and then I noticed a noticeable light gray band about 8" wide on the left side of the screen from the bottom all the way up to the top. Verifying by Samsung as defective. Bestbuy was great with an exchange. I receive the replacement. It had a cracked bezel near the right foot. Not usable! I'm setting up a return and going with an LG! Very disappointed in this Samsung TV and I love Samsung products!

This scanner works great for 35mm and 10mm slides. That's the primary reason I purchased it. I've seen other solutions that didn't really look like they would work. This works great! Granted you can only scan 4 slides at a time but it's fairly effortless. At 300 dpi it takes under 3 minutes to scan and correct the slide images. At 600 dpi it takes a little bit longer. The ICE feature for color, dust, and scratch removal does a fairly good job. Color correction is excellent! If you want to convert your old slides this is a must-have!

Get your SimpliSafe Wireless Outdoor Security Camera up and running again in minutes with a back up battery that recharges in about five hours.
 

How long does a charged battery last?

It depends on how active the area is that the camera sees. Low activity will last as indicated which is three months. High activity will greatly reduce that time. I have two cameras. One in high activity and one in low activity. The low activity camera is still going and it's been 2+ months. The high activity camera I had to pull and charge after 40 days. It's easy though to pop it off and charge it. Simple and wireless!

Does this unit allow you to adjust brightness? How does it handle 35mm slides that are washed out or under exposed? Can it dim the backlight to allow for this type image to be better captured?

This scanner has the "ICE" feature when enabled it does a pretty good job of color correction and dust or spec removal. For serious under or overexposures you'll need another program. If they are washed out or underexposed you might be out of luck restoring them anyway.

Can you scan slides other than 35mm such as 110 or 126 or does it automatically crop to a specific size?

It does scan 110 slides but it doesn't auto-crop them. You'll have to do that manually because it scans the slide holder as well not knowing that it's a 110 slide.

Are you able to remove the agitator if you wish? For example if you wish to put a large bulky item in...

I don't believe so. The tub is so large though that it will wash bulky items with ease! The agitator works great!
