purchased as a replacement for a Logitech mouse that I had been using for 14 years.
If the old one held up that long it was an easy choice to get another Logitech.

Keep meal backups available for those days when going to the grocery store is not an option. With the Insignia NS-CZ35WH3 3.5 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer, it is easy to keep a variety of frozen foods on hand. A capacity of 3.5 cu. ft. and one removable wire basket allow you to keep bulky foods at the bottom and smaller foods organized on top. Easy to operate, turn the knob to adjust the temperature from - 10.4° to -11.2°F (-12° to -24°C). A defrost drain easily removes water for when it’s time to defrost, making for an easy cleaning job. Avoid the grocery store by keeping extra meals on hand in this compact and convenient chest freezer.
 
Great little easy access freezer

I purchased this mostly for the reason that a refrigerator freezer has a hard time freezing ice cream
Nice compact size, fits in my dining room very well and quiet.
I also really like it for bigger items that get used on a regular basis like hamburgers and chicken. frees up a lot of space for smaller items in the smaller refrigerator freezer

It claims to have a moisture sensor. However, unless it is a small load or very light fabric we almost always have to run the cycle 2 times or do a timed dry for 90 minutes
The LG Dryer I replaced after 17 years only had sensor issues after 15 years

I have had great luck with Best Buy Protection UNTIL this purchase. This is based on this experience and not over the entire program
Washer had an issue within 2 weeks. I contacted support .
Explained the issue several times. She set up a repair.
The INSTALLATION team shows up and checks to make sure I did not disconnect the hoses and that the washer was still plugged in. I repeat, it seems there purpose was to make sure I was not an idiot.
So they get me connected with a number to arrange a replacement. It was just the generic number. After several minutes of repeating the issue I was transferred to someone else. Where I had to repeat the issue. Nobody seemed to be able to review the log files. I decided to spend an extra $250 and upgrade to a washer with an agitator. Delivery crew showed up with the same model and not the upgrade. I contacted support about the extra $250 I had spent. They never got back to me but at least the took the money off my card

I love the large capacity. However, the washer does a very poor job on the spin cycle. Unless the clothing is very light weigh it comes out very damp.
The signal for the cycle being done is so low volume you pretty much have to be in the room with the washer to hear it.
I also wish I had notice there is no timer on the washer.
The receptacle for detergent should have measurements. It will hold a lot more detergent then is necessary for most loads. I have switched to pods for regular loads

Before I had Speck cases a simple drop could crack a screen.
Granted it will not prevent them 100%. But I can testify that it helps.
Also, my iPhone tends to be slippery. The case makes it easier to hold.

Delve deep into your favorite games with this Dell 27 QHD gaming monitor with stunning colors and vivid visuals. Boasting a 27" screen, this Dell gaming monitor delivers swift and responsive gameplay thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate and a true 1ms response time. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatability and AMD FreeSync Technology minimize stuttering and screen tearing for smooth graphics. Equipped with adjustable features to let you customize your gaming setup for optimum comfort and visibility
 

Being that this monitor has holiday return period through Jan 16, if I get a bad panel with dead pixels or noticeable "dirty screen effect", can I exchange it with Best Buy or would I have to go through Dell?

Sad to hear that. I have 2 of them and they are beautiful

You should have returned it the day you opened it. If your monitor shows signs of abuse or damage they do not have to take it back. You may want to simply contact Dell. Their customer service is the stuff of legend. At least in my experience

Did you purchase them while the holiday return period was in effect?

In the info it says you can customize the pressure needed for activation on every key. Is this actually noticeable?

Yes you can distinguish the difference when changing the actuation.

However the default is already very good and I have just left it where it was out of the box.

On the other hand if you were to go and change 3 or 4 keys and have someone else tell you which were changed I doubt if they could tell the difference.

I seek five (5) speakers with volume control pots on each speaker.

I have a client that has 5 rooms each needs a speaker. Something small and clear sounding.
It will not need alot of power because it will never be played at higher levels. It needs to be equipped with a volume control. Anyone know of a solution to this ?
The only thing I can think of is a Sonos sytem or similar. I have Sonos in my house. great sound. It can be set up so each speaker, or set up speakers can be individually controlled or all at once. However, you would adjust volume from a phone or table.

Which Bose system is best for music only, not home theater

Tough question to answer. Bose makes some of the best sounding systems in the world. However, most of them are designed for home theater, or portable such as with a phone. The Bose Wave Soundtouch is designed to just deliver muic and radio. I was in just such a market last fall and settled on the Sonos system. Incredible sound and easy to use in multi room

What speakers for pre-wired family room

You would be best off going into a Magnolia store and asking. You will need the specifications of your receiver to properly match speakers to its impedance.

Is this system good to go, with receiver and all cables necessary to operate it?

The system is designed for computers. No receiver. The sub is also the amp for the 5 satellite speakers. But it does have all the cables necessary for computer set up.

How far can these speakers be apart? I’m looking for 1 system that can play the same music in different rooms on the same floor level.

This system will not cut it for that. It is actually designed for computer gaming. I would strongly suggest looking at a Sonos system.

Can I replace the receiver with one that is 4k compatible?

The system is designed for computers. The sub woofer is also the amplifier. There is no hdmi input. You would be better of with a 4k receiver and speakers designed for that
