 Amana - 3.5 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Dual Action Agitator - White
Amana - 3.5 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Dual Action Agitator - White
Wash your clothes with this Amana top-load washer. The dual-action agitator rolls clothes throughout the entire wash basket while the 680 rpm spin cycle removes water from clothing to dry them faster, and the deep water wash option adds more water during the rinsing cycle. The Amana top-load washer has a porcelain tub to stop clothes from snagging.

This washer is both simple and efficient.
Casual mode is great for washing one or two outfits quickly, and setting it for Heavy has a longer spin cycle to prevent sheets and bedding from coming out of the wash just soaking wet.
I'm very pleased with this washer and highly recommend it.
My only complaint is that it doesn't come in black.

I like this printer.
Print quality is good, scan quality is excellent, and hardware seems well constructed. The initial setup and software configuration were a pain.
I've setup dozens of printers. This one took twice as long as usual and required more user initiated action than I expected.
Aside from the install though, this printer is great.

I absolutely love this keyboard. This is my "go to" keyboard for media PCs, and I recommend it to all of my friends and family.
It's convenient for sitting on the couch and controlling a TV connected PC. You don't have to worry about where to place a mouse or mess with TV trays and the like.
You also can't beat the price. Yes, there are more "premium" media keyboards out there with backlighting and additional macro keys, but they also cost three or four times what this keyboard cost. For a fraction of that price, you're getting an excellent keyboard that's comfortable to type on and easy to operate without any additional furniture.

Elevate the look of your kitchen with Samsung’s Smart Freestanding Gas Range. Upgraded technology makes cooking simple and fun.
 

My house is very old, and my exterior door seems just barely wide enough to fit this oven (1/8" to spare). What happens if they can't get it in at the time of delivery? Does my purchase automatically get refunded, or do I have to jump through hoops?

Has anyone tried removing this from its enclosure and installing it into a laptop or desktop as a secondary storage drive? This tends to go on sale for cheaper than an internal drive, and I'm curious if it would work or if WD did something proprietary.

When it comes to your kitchen, sometimes you just need simplicity. This Insignia 10 cu. ft. refrigerator is perfect for small kitchens, offices, dorms and more. It’s a smaller full-size refrigerator with plenty of storage solutions to fit everything you need: two adjustable spill-safe glass shelves, a fixed shelf, four door racks and a crisper drawer.

A frost-free design keeps this refrigerator low maintenance, so you can focus on the chores that really matter. Adjust the shelves, temperature or reverse the door to personalize this refrigerator to fit your kitchen layout and preferences. You can keep it simple and still get everything you need with the Insignia NS-RTM10SS2 10 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator with Reversible Door.
 

Can an ice maker be added to this refrigerator? Talking about the kind that just sits in the freezer and automatically makes ice. Not a door add-in.

It’s perfect for any kitchen or workspace. The Elite Gourmet cordless kettle conveniently boils water for use throughout the day & is perfect for coffee, tea, hot cocoa & instant soup or noodles. Features include a 360 degree swivel base, cord-free serving, cool-touch handle, concealed heating element, simple-to-clean interior and auto shut-off and boil dry protection for safety.
 

Is this easy to clean? Is the lid/spout removable for easy cleaning?

The lid is attached, but it tilts out of the way for easy cleaning. The hinge is a little stiff (and I worried that I was breaking it the first time I used it), but the lid fully raises to a 90 degree angle to allow you to clean the interior.

Pixel 4a with 5G is the budget-friendly, super fast phone from Google. It has the helpful stuff you need in a phone, with an extra boost of 5G speed.*
 

Does this phone use fingerprint unlock?

Yes, it does. It will have you set this up when you first setup the phone (or you can go into settings and set it up later if you prefer).

It only has you setup 1 finger during the initial setup. I went back into settings and setup the index finger on my opposite hand as well.

Very convenient.

Will this unlocked phone work reliably with T-Mobile 5g network. I've had trouble with unlocked phones 3 yrs ago connecting reliably on T-Mobile. My newer T-Mobile "branded" phone never has problems. I'm suspicious of branded vs. unlocked.

I'm using this phone with Mint Mobile (which uses T-Mobile's network), and I've had no issues whatsoever.

I should imagine you wouldn't have any issues if you're signed up with T-Mobile themselves.

 6-Quart Air Fryer Lid
6-Quart Air Fryer Lid
Expand your Instant Pot cooking options even more with this Air Fryer Lid for 6-quart models. Roast, bake, reheat, broil, dehydrate, and air-dry with one-touch presets, and cook delicious and healthy meals without difficulty and skills. The 6-quart Air Fryer Lid is easy to care as it features a dishwasher-safe fryer basket and broiling tray and wipe-clean sleek surfaces.
 

Will this work on a crock pot express 6 quart?

Pretty sure that it won't since I think the liner on the crock pot express is a ceramic coated metal. An earlier Q&A quoted the Instapot site as saying that this lid won't work with ceramic liners.

It should if you format it to NTFS. Point the installation program at it instead of your C drive, and it should install right to the SD card. Be warned that the program will stop working if you take the card out.

This works for most (but not all) programs in Windows.
