Cannon replacement battery
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
The battery in my Cannon camera went dead and would not hold a charge. The battery was a Cannon LP- E6 and the Best Buy sales representative recommended this battery as a direct replacement. Works great in my camera and is less expensive that the Cannon OEM replacement.

Compact DVD burner
on June 18, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new computer I purchased did not come with a DVD burner and I asked the Best Buy salesman for a recommendation. He advised that the LG unit was popular and had good reviews. I have used it and found that it functions as expected. Very simple unit at a very good price and does everything I would expect a DVD burner to do.

With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 1TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

Great computer
on June 18, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was my first Apple computer. We have several Apple phones and iPads so when it came time for a new computer we compared the Apple with HP and selected the Apple. Found it very easy to use and love the big screen. Anyone looking for a desktop computer and willing to pay a little more should look at Apple.

Nice keyboard
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was looking for a larger keypad than the one ne built into the iPad. I looked at the different Bluetooth options and picked Loitek. I have had success with their other products and selected the Logitech Altrahin folding keyboard based on its size, protection offered to the iPad and ease of connection and use. Have had no problems with this unit and enjoy the ease of using.

Great GPS unit
on August 12, 2016
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used a Garman GPS for many years. I like the new unit but find its input program more difficult to learn than the older units. After you figure out how to input where you want directions to it works great. Very helpful for finding stores, banks gas stations and other attractions in your immediate area.

I look at Alpine equipment first because I have always had excellent service with their equipment. I picked this unit for the Bluetooth feature. The receiver works great and was easy to program.

Great fitness tracker
on April 29, 2016
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Fitbit Alta fitness tracker does everything I wanted a fitness tracker to do. I love the style and it is almost like not wearing a device because of the size and comfort. I found it difficult to put on my wrist at first but figured it out after a few tries. I am using the rubber band at this time but hope the SS metal band will become available soon

iPhone 5S holder
on December 17, 2014
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased for use with my 5S phone for mounting into my heater vent in the car. The mount for the vent works perfect but I have problems with the phone staying in the holder provided. You have to be careful and make sure you adjust the holder just right or the phone can fall out. Most of the time it works great but have had the phone drop a few times.

Is the band easy to put on and take off. My last one with the buckle was difficult to remove

It is very easy to take off. There is a bit of a learning process to get it on but after a few times it gets easier.

How often does this need to be charged

I find that based on what I am tracking with Mike, mostly steps and weight that I can go 5 to 7 days on a charge. I also figured out that since I have to take it off to shower I can plug it in and let it change while I get ready for work. That way it always stays charged and I don't have to worry about it.

How long is the stand. Our entertainment surface is only 42" will it work for a 65" tv

The stand is 39" across so it should work with your entertainment center. Be sure your center is stable enough to hold up the screen.
