 Cuisinart - Chef's Style Stainless Tabletop Grill - Stainless Steel
Cuisinart - Chef's Style Stainless Tabletop Grill - Stainless Steel
The Cuisinart Chef~s Style Tabletop Grill delivers the performance of a full sized grill with the convenience of portability. This grill fires up with 20,000 BTUs of meat searing heat across 275 square inches of cooking space. With all of that power comes a lot of control as well. Two independently controlled burners allow you to set different heat zones for cooking all your barbeque foods and the built in thermometer monitors the grill temp for you. The stainless finish will look as good at your home as it will on the road.
 
Perhaps the best present ever!

I got this for my son-in-law as he and our daughter and their 3 young children live in a town home and space is at a premium.
In a word they tell me that this grill is - FANTASTIC!
I have been told that it heats ups FAST and cooks quickly and evenly. It is easy to use, easy to clean and very easy to store when you are done using it!
It is perfect for up for a small family especially so with little ones! They previously had a large BBQ and there just wasn't enough room to be able to use and store it so they brought it over to my home and my wife and I use it instead.
They missed having a grill so I bought this for them and it has been nothing short of one of the best presents I have given to them!
I highly recommend this Cuisinart Grill. It is a high quality piece of cooking equipment that is certain to make cookouts in a limited amount of space, fast and easy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Out of all the kitchen appliances I recently purchased at Best Buy as a retirement gift to me, this refrigerator is absolutely THE BESTEST GIFT OF THEM ALL!
It has TWO, yes, 2 ice makers. One in the left hand door and one in the lower drawer. The one down below makes ice balls almost the size of tennis balls! If you drink a LOT of iced tea like me (and I literally drink gallons in the summer!) then this is the frig for you!
The left side door is glass and when you tap on it twice the inside lights up so you can see what's there in the door! The front right door is a dual door with a button on the handle so you can open the front BEVERAGE compartment that I use all the time!
It is a fantastic! The left door as an wonderful cold water dispenser that will also dispense pre-measured amounts in 4oz. 8oz. 16oz & 32oz.
That comes in handy, believe me!
The shelves inside are excellent and the entire unit is cabinet depth. My wife likes it too! It is wonderful!

 LG STUDIO - 30 inches - Convertible - Wall Range Hood - Stainless Steel
LG STUDIO - 30 inches - Convertible - Wall Range Hood - Stainless Steel
Smoke, grease and cooking odors have no place in your kitchen. But neither do bulky hood vents that overpower your design sensibilities. LG STUDIO wall-mounted hood vents offer a streamlined, low-profile look that occupies minimal visual space, paired with a professional-grade 600 CFM blower that delivers ultimate air movement. The theme of powerful performance and refined style continues, with dual level LED lighting that brilliantly illuminates the cooktop surface and sophisticated, touch controls. Available in 30~ and 36~ widths in elegant black stainless steel; classic stainless steel finish.
 
Beware of LG's HORRID customer service.

This purchase has been a NIGHTMARE! LG has left us with a dead unit for several months now and this after I spent several thousands of dollars on their Studio line of Kitchen appliances for our home. An oven. A dishwasher. A refrigerator and this piece of garbage Range Hood.
The hood has not worked in MONTHS and LG does nothing but give us the runaround. I have jumped through their hoops like a trained dog at a circus! Their customer service is TERRIBLE. There are supposedly 120 of the Range Hoods in LG's warehouse and yet they cannot get one to me?
Now they want me to remove the Serial Number/Model Number sticker from the hood and cut it in half and take a picture of it and send it to them. I have sent them photos of said sticker. I have sent the photos of the receipt that I actually bought this from Best Buy (several times I have sent this!) and they do NOTHING!
Their customer service center is useless as NOTHING is done by them. I have asked for help from "management" and it is promised and then...NOTHING is done by them.
They keep ignoring me across the board and one supposes it is their hope that I will give up. I am NOT giving up!
LG treats their customers as if they are lying. We have had multiple LG Technicians out to fix this thing and after the 4th time failing to do so, the Techs were told "No RA is authorized!" They are treating me like crap. LG's customer service is non-existent.

This latest purchase of a Dyson cordless is proving to be the finest one yet. It is VERY powerful and easy to move around everywhere but on stairs but then I am handicapped so that is to be expected.
I cannot recommend Dyson products enough. Including this latest purchase, I own 3 of their vacuums and 6 of their air purifiers. Quality is a hallmark of Dyson and this vacuum has it!
The charge lasts a looooong time and battery indicator along with the auto-select feature for vacuuming strength is great!
Highly recommend? YES!!!!

The screen is the best yet for my wife and it was easily set up and use. This is a high quality television and the one she used prior to this was an excellent 3D setup with a fast processor and high refresh rates.
But this one? Is vastly superior. My thanks to my local Best Buy in Mira Mesa, CA!

Unlike the Dell I purchased along with this Asus, the Asus flat out works great!
The keycaps have not lost their ID markers, the touchpad works flawlessly and overall this is the finest laptop I have owned from Best Buy to date! Highly recommended?
YES!!!! It is fast, runs cool, runs quiet and does everything I need without fault!
And id I mention that the alphanumeric markings on the keyboard are still there? Unlike my new Dell reviewed elsewhere they are! And the touchpad works! My Dell doesn't work with any degree of consistency but this ASUS is, again, FLAWLESS!
I have zero problems and zero regrets with this excellent, quality built laptop! Thank you Best Buy and ASUS!

 Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Black
Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Black
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don~t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you~re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you~ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
 

Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8~ Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
 

Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Featuring smart calibration, it automatically adjusts sound to perfectly suit your room, while Bluetooth streaming lets you enjoy your favorite music with ease.

Plus, connect up to four speakers wirelessly to create a fully immersive, customized home theater system that fits your space and lifestyle.
 

I am using a Sonos Arc Ultra and Era 300's with my new QM8K. Will adding these new Z100's to my system add any improvement to what I already have? Will these speakers work in conjunction with my Sonos system?

No because the TCL Z100s are made for the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect ecosystem and Sono is not. I hope this helps you!

Yes. The Marantz Model M1 is a combination Amplifier with built-in HEOS controlled streamer. You do not need anything other than a pair of passive (i.e., not self powered) speakers and if you wish, a powered subwoofer. The M1 is 2.1 channel ready (i.e., 2 speakers and a powered sub). Thank you!

High pass for sub out?

I believe the Marantz Model M1 has a low pass filter for the sub out and a high pass filter for the main speakers. The unit is 2.1 ready! The sub out level should be easily accessed and controled via the HEOS screen for "now playing". I hope this helps and if there is any error on my part perhaps the Marantz folks will assist.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?

In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.

I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!
