Minions are awesome, and took Gru to a new level
on February 25, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I watch the Despicable Me movies for the minions, but this one took the Gru backstory to a new level that was really fun, especially with his new love interest from Despicable Me 2.

Good USB extension cable
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: tigster
from Detroit
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had to move some things around, which meant the original USB cable was not long enough. While the length makes sending things to the printers slower than it used to be, security parameters for work require a hard connection and this gets the job done.

Needed more ports because I bought more stuff
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: tigster

Verified Purchase:Yes
New Internet provider = new home network Needed more ports because I bought more stuff. Have a single port in the room and that was just fine. Then more things got added to each room, then I got a new Internet provider so things were faster, and these do a great job making sure that all of the computers, TiVos, and smart TVs have all the conductivity they need.

Had to move the home office and the original cables were way too short. These do exactly what I need them to, and my home office works great.

BB Said this case fits my drive; it doesn’t
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: tigster
from Detroit
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought a G-Drive, and BB had this in the “often bought with” section, so I purchased it. Turns out it’s way too small for the drive BB recommended at for. Hopefully I’ll find something to do with it eventually.

Doesn’t work with iOS
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: tigster
from Detroit
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything says it’s iOS compatible until you actually open the box and read the instructions. That’s when you find out that the iOS compatibility is only that you can view what is on the camera roll. You cannot see anything on TV app nor can you mirror the screen. Now I have a $400 brick that I can’t return because it was purchased as a Christmas present, then family emergencies happened, so it’s been months and I can’t return it.

Storms and power outages can easily sever your network connection, just when you need it the most. Losing Internet access breaks lines of communication for business operations, news and weather updates, and restricts contact with friends and family. The BGE70 will keep your network up and running for hours and charge your mobile devices as needed.

Buying another one!
on December 24, 2017
Posted by: tigster
from Detroit
Verified Purchase:Yes
We’ve always had power issues in this house because we’re at the end of the electric company’s main circuit. Using APC products saves me from replacing at least 2-3 big-ticket electronics every year.
I use them for all my a/v and network equipment, and haven’t had to replace one in years due to brownouts or spikes.
This little baby is perfect when you just have a couple small, low draw things (internet modem and router, for example) or a teenie space (such as a basement closet).

Works great!

It took some practice to use it without making a mess, and then to get everything cleaned in one tank of water. Once I got that all figured out, it's been working out great and my dentist is quite pleased with the results.

Almost perfect for my needs
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: tigster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had to get a free roku account to set up the tv ... it can't be used until this is done, even if you're not going to use the roku features.
All my other TVs are setup so that turning the attached Apple TV also turns the tv on or off, but that doesn't work with this one. Probably because it always starts up asking for which input to use?

This compact blender allows you to blend smoothies, milk shakes and more. The travel lid saves time by allowing you to drink from the blending jar.
 

My blender Model 51103 is less than 12 months old. Liquid now leaks from the blending jar beneath the cutting blades into the chamber above the base. Is there a repair I can make to prevent the leak? Thanks for a reply. George

I have not run into this with the Ninja blender. For other brands, I know that this usually means some parts just need to be replaced, such as the blade housing or assembly, or the gasket.

I used Teflon tape and/or Vaseline around the grooves and on the rubber seal for a 20 year old KitchenAid that started leaking after they no longer made parts for it. This worked for a spell until the problem got really bad a few years later, which is why I bought this Ninja.

Whip up healthy drinks with the Nutri Ninja BlendMax blender.

The Nutri Ninja BlendMax blender comes with two interchangeable pitchers, letting you mix up to 88 oz. of ingredients or extract nutritious vitamins.
 

Can I grind coffee bean with this? I wonder how it works.

I have successfully used this blender to grind seeds, nuts, and beans. I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t know specifically about the coffee beans. My assumption is that since it does seeds and other beans that it would also do coffee beans.

I have a small kitchen. What are the dimensions and weight of this blender. I may have to store it away between uses. I do this with my Kitchen Aid and it's really heavy.

This is about the same weight as my KitchenAid stand mixer. It’s probably about 8” x 7“, and much taller than the mixer. This has sucker-feet so it doesn’t move while the big motor is working, which makes it even harder to move than the mixer because first you have ungrip them from the countertop. I run into the same problem because I also have a smaller kitchen and know exactly how much fun it is to move these appliances around as you need them.

This Frigidaire FFRA0622S1 air conditioner features 6,000 BTUs of cooling power to keep your bedroom or office comfortable. The included remote enables wireless control, so you can adjust the settings from your bed or desk.
 

If the electric goes off will it turn on by itself? If yes does it start back up in cool mode?

I’m not sure what you mean by this question. Assuming you mean that there’s a power outage while this is running, no, it does not turn itself back on when power is restored.

Can I plug unit into a surge protector to protect against power surges? What's the suggested rating of the surge protector?

Check the rating on the regulatory mandated sticker on the plug. Make sure that you get an appliance surge protector, not just a normal one such as for your TV. These surge protectors are available, and definitely more expensive because they’re built to handle the larger wires and sudden power draw appliance motors need.

Does AC dry air in Fan Only mode? The manual says to "open the vent during this function but keep it closed" in Cooling Mode. The illustration looks nothing like the vent on my unit, which allows you to control direction but not open/close. How to?

Mine works on fan only mode, and also does not look anything like the picture in the manual. I do not seem to have a way to turn the vent on or off, either. Another confusing thing is that the temperature shown on the face while on fan only is the room temperature, not the desired temperature such as when running the condenser to cool the room.

Hello. I could not find a web browser to go Internet.

That app wasn't installed on mine out of the box. My guess is that it's available in the roku store, but I'm not using the tv that way and haven't verified that. G'luck!
