I have already raved about the most excellent printer: and unfortunately I do not use the printer as often as some being at home and retired. However, I do remind you that the printer my new one replaced was second hand HP loaded with inexpensive toner cartridges - and then the printer no longer worked! So moral of the story: get the brand product, save yourself the heartache of having to replace the printer with a new one! Canon has been a very good brand for me: I have 2 Canon cameras, lenses, and now this printer. Aside from which I remind you the 1200 x 1200 print quality is exceptional!!

Great quality, good price for what you are getting. I do not print a lot but have to have good quality when I do: it is sensible to get something that is a bit more but well worth while the buy. I have a Canon LBP632 printer and it works well with the high quality laser printer.

I had a hand-down HP with a bunch of generic cartridges that ground to a halt, so I had to search for a replacement. Oh My! I really did myself an enormous favor by searching & comparing! This is the, THE color laser printer that I have been waiting for!! Come on guys & gals, THIS is big, this is HUGE!!! It is a color laser printer and it prints photo quality prints at 1200 x 1200 !!! Goodby to inkjet and your dried up cartridges after a couple of weeks!! And do not worry about getting special photo paper, ordinary but good quality paper and you have brilliant photos. Seriously!
Set up takes a bit of time, but you will get through it: I'm using a USB to my old desktop and for my laptop I'm using wifi connections. Just had to search around on the printer for the net address for the printer. The other small hassle is to get the setup on the desktop going before the printer fell into sleep mode - a little too fast for me as it was not quite handy to plug in the USB at the back of the printer in time!

Plain old kettle? NO WAY! there is nothing plain & nothing old here!! It has a stainless steel interior, shielded from the outer jacket: keeps it hot and no more ouch! Touched to kettle! It is super quick to boil: and it will switch off at precede temperature you set with the 'mode' button. Several different temperatures - for green tee, black tea & so on - and !Sweet! it actually will keep the water at the preset boil temperature for about 30 minutes until you are ready to use it: once used, it switches itself off.
Best of all, large green letters on the side tell you exactly what is the pot temperature is inside, even after being switched off.

If you’re like many busy people, you have a dozen things going on at once, and working on the computer is no different. You likely need your computer’s USB ports to connect a keyboard or mouse, transfer files and charge devices – it’s no surprise that there aren’t enough ports for everything. This hub helps optimize your workspace by providing four extra USB ports to connect accessories – simply plug it into your computer’s USB-C port. Transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps move files quickly and efficiently. Its compact size makes it perfect for slipping into a purse or backpack. You really can do it all with the Insignia NS-PCHC4A 4-Port USB-C Hub.

Irritating when there are USB plugs and having to plug & unplug all the time. Now once only, all done. Got my scanner, two back up 10TB drives and my Time Machine all plugged in so it is plug once and everything works! Blue reminder light tells you it's plugged in and provides a reminder to unplug if you want to grab the laptop & go.

Oh boy, getting it from Best Buy is great: last year I got it from the company named after a river in South America and they messed it up - I had to use it on my old windows lap top and not my new Mac laptop. Irritating! Easy to specify Mac (or Windows) and that's what I got. Great program: picks up all details off of the last Tax year (It translated the Windows program file, no problem), just enter the easy answered questions and before you know it, I was done! The great thing is peace of mind as they have a team to help if the tax man has any desire to audit. The IRS return is electronic but the State return is an extra $20. You do have the option to print and mail the State return, which I have been doing- it's easier on the pocket and costs the certified mail cost only.

Great product, this is a replacement/upgrade for the older watch which is still working. I purchased a glass screen protector which has made it not touch sensitive (Frustration!) I have looked up & a PET/PTU soft protector would be more sensitive. The old watch without protection is quite scratched so this is recommended to have on this watch. If you buy the stainless steel case, it comes with the sapphire glass which will not need a cover. It has a battery life of 48 hours which is great: recharges within an hour.

This is quite the machine: I have been used to using my Apple MacBook Pro (2019) and this is a ramp up from even that product. A bit of initial frustration as the Windows 11 starts off in the 'S' mode which is to get you to only buy the Microsoft Shop approved apps. I dropped out of that one when I downloaded a once off MSOffice 2021 licensed product from an online store I have previously used. Then, Zooooma! away it went! It has the i5 CPU from Intel & it really Crunches through throwing up graphics like nothing else. Then I discovered it has a touch screen!! So easy to use. The SSD is a reasonable size, but I am into a ton of photos and a ton of music on my other computers so this amount is right on the button good for me.
So... super quick, light, hardly any heat generation so the battery lasts all day. Only one downside: has not too many ports, but with readily available port ex-panders that's not a problem. It does also have a handy SDXC disc reader that all my cameras use.
I can really recommend this one to you! Seriously.
And the display is crisp and has great luminosity: easy on the eye.

Great flavorful taste for those who love a medium to strong coffee. We have the new K coffee machine with 5 prongs on top & it works very fast with these K-Cup pods and tastes great even on the 12 oz setting. The special deal was great to get so I bought two boxes!

Does this item have temperature settings?

It has preset temperature options when touching the 'mode' for green tea, tea, boiling and French press coffee which are the optimum temperatures for preparation of those drinks.

I can not increase or decrease the volume after connecting to blue tooth from the TV. Any help?

You should be able to boost the volume using the speaker volume controls, located on top of the speaker. If there is still a problem, contact BOSE on line. They are very helpful.

Normally you can only attach one per sound output device and the limit is on the broadcast device Bluetooth capability. If your output device is an amp with two line out ports you could get two Bluetooth broadcasters and hook up both and link them individually to the BOSE speakers.

Can you use this speaker with a Victrola 8 in 1 turntable?

As long as your Victrola has Bluetooth. If it does not then does it have a headphone jack or line out connection? If it does you can purchase a Bluetooth out broadcaster and hook it up via the line out or headphone jack and the BOSE Soundlink will pick it up.
