A frustration with regular toasters is when the dial gets moved and you don't know it and your level of toasting changes.
This toaster solves that. The display shows you the toasting time. and can be adjusted in 15 to 20 second increments.
There is a cancel button that will stop and eject.

I replaced my Titanium AfterShokz because my new puppy chewed them up. They had excellent sound. However, the Aeropex are a next level up.
I really like the button on the left bow that you can press once to pause and press twice to skip to the next song.
Very comfortable for long wear, works will with glasses.
The only drawback, which is also a benefit, is that they project a little behind your head so wearing a stocking cap can be conflicted.
However, unlike some other brands not having the back side press against your head makes them more comfortable for long term wear.

The blanket is essential for smoking in cold weather.
In cold temps around 32F it greatly reduced pellet consumption greatly decreased variations in the smoker temperature.

Professional all the way across the board.
Setting up a TV is not necessarily a difficult task. But when you purchase a large expensive TV you do not want to take the chance that you did something wrong and it does not work after you set it up.

With Geek Squad set up if it is not working when they are done they will take care of it right away.
Quick, clean, and professional.
They called when they were in transit with an estimated arrival time and they were early.

Great second controller.
The PS5 controllers are excellent and have good battery life. However, this is a second one so when the first one loses power I can keep playing.
Also, great to have when a friend comes over to play

Dell - S2721DGF 27" Gaming IPS QHD FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible monitor with HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Accent Grey
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
