Tired of toggling through endless cycles only to have clothes come out damp or overdry? This dryer takes out the guesswork, with built-in intelligence that uses advanced sensors and AI technology to automatically select the right drying motions, temperatures and more. It can even talk to your washer to select a compatible cycle—so you don’t have to. What could be easier? Use the ThinQ app to start or stop the dryer from anywhere, and even receive an alert when clothes are dry. Durable and stylish tempered glass door with white or silver accents adds the perfect finish.

Excellent dryer with loads of pre-set drying cycles and plenty of ways to customize the settings.
The dryer was very easy to figure out, even the WiFi setup. I thought WiFi was probably a wasted feature but it turns out that I like it since you can check how much time is left on a load and it notifies when the load is done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When sleek good looks meet powerful cleaning and intelligent performance, you’ll experience laundry on a whole new level. TurboWash 360° cleans larger loads fast so you get more done while enjoying the same great washing performance. And forget about endless sorting—AI technology uses built-in sensors to detect fabric texture and load size and then automatically selects the right settings for advanced fabric care. Activate Smart Pairing in the ThinQ app, and the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle, making it the ultimate laundry hack. The gentle power of steam reduces common household allergens in fabrics by more than 95%*. Durable and stylish tempered glass door with rose gold accents adds the perfect finish. *Based on certification by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)
Happy to have switched to a front-load washer

Note: I would give this 4 1/2 stars because of the noise issue (see below for details)
I've switched from a top-loading to a front-loading washer and I'm very satisfied. The washing times are much lower, the clothes come out cleaner, and the water usage is less. We used to have a problem with soap staying on dark knitted clothes, requiring an extra rinse and that is no longer a problem.
The washer was very easy to figure out, even the WiFi setup. I had thought WiFi would be a wasted feature but it turns out that I like it since you can check how much time is left on a load and it notifies when the load is done. There are plenty of options for different types of loads and for customizations.
My only criticism is that the washer makes a low frequency humming sound that is not pleasant during some of the cycle. It's not very loud, though, so if your laundry room is away from the living area of your house, you probably won't hear it. Shutting the door helps too.

The setup was irritating and we almost returned it. It would not connect and in fact would only do the setup from my android phone (and not a chromebook or iphone). It did not finish the setup until the third try with the phone. No idea why it worked that time.
Also, a green light is supposed to show that is connected to the router and working, a yellow light means that it is not connected. However, our light is always yellow but it works fine.

The Charge 4 was a replacement for my Inspire HR and I am enjoying it's many features, including the built-in GPS and the expanded communications with my phone. I also like having a larger watch face. The heart rate monitor is much more reliable than the Inspire's was.
I am finding that I can only go two days maximum between battery charges. I generally use the GPS every day for about 90 minutes. That uses about 30% of the battery. The rest of the day uses about 10-15%.
I don't mind having to charge the watch that often but people should be aware that the GPS is quite the battery hog. It can be turned off but I like having the record of my exercise and an accurate measurement of distance.

We previously had a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer which was always so jammed it was hard to find anything in it. Having a freezer that is twice as large has been really nice. The price was very reasonable.

I keep getting this keyboard (this is my 4th) so I obviously I like them. I particularly like the travel on the keys and their firmness. I also like the programmable keys and Logitech's unifying receiver.
My keyboard tray has limited room so the relatively compact size is another attraction.

In our 48 years of marriage, we've never owned a dishwasher. We recently renovated our kitchen and added a dishwasher. I checked with my niece who is an interior designer who suggested Bosch and Wirecutter which recommended this model. Good advice from both.
We've had it 6 weeks now and are very satisfied with our purchase. The dishwasher is quiet and cleans very well. The interior design is very flexible with a variety of ways to configure it, giving a lot of options in loading it. It easily accepts half-sheet pans and a 6-qt soup pot.
There are just the two of and we generally can go 3 days between washes but it's very nice to have the half-load option if we need to run it sooner.

This Chromebook gives you a lot for its price. With its Intel i3 processor and 8 GBs of memory, it never gets bogged down, no matter how many tabs and apps I have opened. It can do a slideshow of large graphics smoothly (which made my old chromebook choke). The screen and keyboard are both excellent. It has a usb-A port in addition to 2 usb-c ports which is a nice bonus.
The only criticism I have is the sdcard reader doesn't have a cover and since it is close to the on/off button, it is very easy to accidentally eject the sdcard when you are trying to turn off the machine.
(Note: this is our second one of these we have and this review is based on using the first one for 8 months.)

Do the small white plastic spacers have a function other than possibly keeping the lid from sinking in more during transport I’m guessing? Do they stay inside the freezer edges?
