Bad for TV
on March 4, 2018
Posted by: OnlineShoppingGuy
from Minneapolis, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price, I can’t complain too much but I did end up returning these within a week of use. My goal was to find Bluetooth headphones that I could connect to a 2016 Samsung TV while running on the treadmill. Here is an overview of these.
Pros:
1. It comes with 3 sizes of in-ear buds and it was easy to find one that fit snugly.
2. The noise isolation of the earbuds really works. I couldn’t hear the treadmill under me even at full speed.
3. The magnetic ends of the buds are convenient.
4. To me, the sound was great but I am not an audio expert. Others may have complaints if you have experience with expensive headphones (?).
5. The price (bought at $20) was great.
Cons:
1. Every 10 seconds or so, I would hear a crackle or pop due to poor connection to the TV. The treadmill is about 20 feet from the TV with a totally clear line of site. The headphones I now use (Plantronics Fit, with its own pros and cons, does not have this problem).
2. Even with a bug fit, the buds would pop out once I was running instead of walking on the treadmill. However, perhaps if I had gone up one more size I wouldn’t have this problem. Because of the crackling issue though, I had already decided to package these back up so didn’t do any more experimenting.
In the end, I can probably still recommend these but with some definite concerns. I would only recommend at the low price or on sale.

I purchased two of these when B.B. had a promo: buy 2 $50 gift cards, get one $10 Best Buy certificate. The BP near me just had me pay inside with the gift cards.

Steelbook itself is more flimsy than others
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: OnlineShoppingGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is NOT a review of the film itself but of this particular packaging of it.
The steelbook has a very attractive design, but the build is flimsy and was easily broken. Compared to my steelbook copies of The Raid and Inception, the metal on this one is more flexible and seems thinner. It also has a glossy finish rather than the matte finish of others.
Would I recommend it? As long as you're careful with it. This one broke in a box of gifts traveling to/from a holiday get together. Was it careless on my part? Probably partly, but it wasn't like things were tossed on top of it. I'd recommend you stop by a Best Buy store and feel the product before purchasing online.

One issue: limited quick time
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: OnlineShoppingGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
First this microwave is really good: it works great and looks amazing. The only issue we've noticed between this and our old GE 1990s microwave it replaced, is that the Samsung does not have quick times (just hit the 1 to instantly start the microwave for 1 minute, the 2 for 2 minutes, etc.). It does have an "add 30" button. Is this a problem? Not really, but we did notice it because we used the instant 1 button on the old microwave all the time.
If I read the manual, maybe there is a way to program this but it is not obvious from any of the buttons themselves.

6 months later, great but NOT flawless
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: OnlineShoppingGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am an adult gamer and was very excited to finally use an Astro headset that is fully wireless. I read tons of reviews on Turtle Beach's top-of-the-line headsets compared to the older Astros, and finally decided to pre-order the Astro A50s.
So after 6 months, here are pros and cons. Pros are readily available in online reviews, so I'll spend more time on the Cons.
PROs:
Sound quality
Microphone quality (no issues like the previous Astro A40s and earlier generation A50s experienced).
Fully wireless
Attractive stand/base and headset design.
CONS
1) The wireless range is much less than advertised 30 feet. I have the Xbox One in a vented media cabinet, and my headset sits at the end of the bar countertop above the cabinet, against a wall so it isn't right in the middle of the room. I sit on a couch about 8 to 10 feet away from the headset base. For lack of a better way to phrase this, it seems that the wireless wave signal coming from the base does not shoot up and away but rather straight out and sagging. I get distortion when my head is even a foot below the base if the countertop is between us at all, even at 8 to 10 feet. I then stacked 4 coffeetable books under the base and this solved the problem, but if anyone sits at the bar, I get distortion, if the top of one of the bar chairs is in between us, I get distortion. If I move to the farthest end of the couch (in the 12 to 15 foot range, the signal is subject to distortion). This is all goes without saying, if I walk into the next door room to grab a drink during an in-game lobby, I get distortion. Lesson: this headset works best if you're sitting right next to it or if it is elevated above you. In searching online to see if others ran into the same problem, I read that Astro's wireless chip supplier was changed for this most recent generation, and it is not the same quality as previous generation headsets.
2) Loss of connection after reboots. When I shut down my Xbox and start it up the next day, I often lose the connection to the headset (sound works, but not the microphone). It took me a while troubleshooting this including checking for firmware updates and completely unplugging and replugging the USB. However, the quickest way to solve this problem has been to switch the headset base to PC mode and back to Xbox. This seems to reset the connection and I get a notification on the XBox that my headset has been assigned. Definitely an inconvenience for a $300 headset.
Is it worth buying? It's worth considering all your options first, so you'll need to make the call between this and the TB wireless alternatives. If you go with Astro, I haven't seen a better Astro headset, and it is usually years between each official Astro generation so this is probably the best option for now. If you don't mind having wires around, the wired version of this would not have the problems I've described.

I wanted to use my reward certificates on another product, but you can only use certificates towards things of equal or greater value. I was less than a dollar off, so adding this to the cart was an easy way to spend another dollar in order to use my certificates.

We've been satisfied with this filter, keep it in the bedroom and run it during the day every couple days. I read online somewhere that you could also save money on replacement filters by using and modifying your furnace filters, but I have not had to try this yet.

Superb mini-series

I had heard good things about this show, and it definitely lived up to high expectations. At one episode I noticed it was slower-paced, but wasn't really bothered by it. This drama is an in-depth exploration of not just our criminal justice system but also of prejudice in America post 9/11. Highly recommend..

Can this be installed under cabinets , that are not over the range. Would there be any issues later.

Yes, it can. A bracket goes to the wall behind it (included with the microwave), and two bolts get screwed into the top through the cabinet floor above the microwave. It does NOT have to vent outside, so you'd just have to set it up for recirculation/ventless when you install it. Doing this is simple and is explained pretty clearly in the manual. This is the set up I used in our kitchen, although it does happen to be above a stovetop.

Would there be issues later? Well, you'd have two holes in the base of the cabinet above it (which you'd never see when the cabinet doors are closed). If you uninstalled it later, you'd have a couple holes in the wall where you installed the back mounting bracket behind the microwave, perhaps easily patchable depending on your wall material.

Does Samsung over the range microwave model# ME18H704SFG have a grease filter or a charcoal filter?

Possibly both. A charcoal filter goes in the ventilation area in the top of the microwave, and it is supposed to be replaced intermittently through the front, after opening the door.The underside of it has a filter in the fan intake, but I'm not sure if is just a standard filter or specifically meant for grease. I've attached a picture of the underside. I did not take a picture of the charcoal filter in the top because I have to unscrew a front cover piece.

This 5.8 cu. ft. large capacity oven allows you to cook multiple dishes at once. Two oven racks let you prepare enough food for large gatherings. Cook food faster and more evenly with a heated fan system that is great for baking and broiling.
 

Can you turn the convection off and use it as a conventional oven?

Yes, well you don't turn it off. There are two different bake buttons, one with convection and one without. (notice in the picture the fan icon for the Bake button and the button without the the fan icon).
