Awesomeness..is that even a word? I don't know but it sure describes how I feel about my new iPad! It is lightning fast, and really light. The screen is beautiful and the two stereo speakers on the bottom sound great! This one allows use with the Pencil also. I had the 2017 version briefly as that one had screen issues and returned it. So glad I did. This 2018 version although basically identical except for the A10 processor makes it perform so much better/smoother. Apparently that A10 makes a big difference. Buy it, you will love it as much as I do mine! Best Buy had it for $299 when no one was putting it on sale yet. Great deal!

I have had this now for a week or so and found it to be a great tablet. I use it primarily to read in bed and the screen is bright and text easy to read on websites. For $250 it can't be beat! Get one you will love it!

![Little House on the Prairie: The Complete Television Series [48 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5622/5622630_sa.jpg)

First of all this DVD set is the ENTIRE Season Set with the three movies that wrap up the series! Plus it includes some interviews with the cast and documentary. Good. The picture and sound are excellent and show well on today's modern HD Widescreen TV's. Good. But here's the bad. The boxed set we received was NOT as pictured. The set came in a slimlined ordinary box with the DVD's placed two each in a "sleeve" that you have to pull out of the box. The sleeves aren't printed with the episodes just the season number and you have to read off of the DVD to see what episode is on that particular DVD. They are also pretty hard to get in and out of the box all crammed in there like that. This set is supposed to feature the "little house" as the DVD box itself that opens up to reveal the DVD's each packaged in its' own nice Season "folder" with the episodes printed on the actual folder so you know instantly know what episodes are in that particular season. This is DEFINITELY NOT a "Deluxe" boxed set so if intended as a gift for the hardcore "Little House on the Prairie" fan, this will be a big disappointment as it was for our Sr. Citizen Mother's birthday present.

This is exactly what I was looking for! It has 2 attachments, one for mixing, the other for whisking. Stainless steel and will not rust makes it even better! Has a mix and a puree speed. Cleans up so easy and the attachments just twist on and off..EASY! What more could you ask for? Red color gives some pizzaz to my other bland black and stainless kitchen gadgets HA!

I still have the older version this model replaced and this one is a nice upgrade. I purchased this one due to the fact my other machine was over 9 years old (and still going strong) but did not have a back lit display for the time etc. As "old folks" we wanted a new model with a back lit display to be able to see better program the clock/program functions and this one fits the bill! I would have rated this machine a full five stars if it weren't for the fact that our carafe's handle was manufactured incorrectly and the time it takes to brew a full pot of coffee. Ours takes about 16 minutes and that is just on "regular" mode. I can only imagine how long it would take on "bold" mode. Makes a VERY hot cup of coffee in the end and is VERY flavorful. Isn't that the most important thing? If you have a little patience in the morning, you can't beat this Cuisinart!

Not entirely "wireless"

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as I needed a outdoor cam to monitor my side property and thought this would be ideal. However, it requires a AC power source for the camera and proved to be much more involved to mount and run the wire where I could plug it in. Hence my need for something totally wireless. Otherwise it had a good picture on the small 7" monitor it comes with. Also, there was NO instruction manual included to explain how to use all of it's features. I had to go online to their website to view it.

It is surprising how far technology has come in just a couple of years. The last external hard drive I bought was about the size of a typical small phonebook and had to have a AC power source. Imagine my surprise when I saw this one to find it about the size of a deck of cards and a 3.0 USB as a power source! I have to say it performed flawlessly transferring our recordings from a older DISH DVR Hopper and back again to their newest version! We had over 1TB of recordings & it ran for over 24 hours just fine! (It was the 6 y/o DISH DVR receiver we had that was old tech and worn out reason it took so long to transfer) I would buy one of these again in a heartbeat! Maybe next time I need one, they will be the size of a quarter! : )

I purchased this card to go into my new Lg G6 smartphone as it only comes with 32gb internal memory. Upon installation, the phone recognized it and started sending pics and vids I take instantly to it. This thing is lightning fast! For the money, $39 I paid, it is just amazing! So glad I bought it and would do so again in a heartbeat!

EXCELLENT SMARTPHONE!
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: tekkie
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this when Best Buy had it on sale for $11.99 and I have to say I am thoroughly pleased with this phone! It is FAST and DOES NOT LAG AT ALL. The screen is BEAUTIFUL with VIVID colors and deep blacks and best of all, it is FLAT and not curved on the edges like the S8! The screen is AWESOME utilizing "Dolby Vision" technology. The phone is SO EASY TO HOLD and just feels "right" , at least for me. Very comfortable to hold for long periods watching movies or browsing the net. I did purchase a slim case to put mine in as well for protection in case of an accidental drop. Upon activation, the phone automatically updated and downloaded all my apps from my google account seamlessly! One feature you can activate I especially like is "comfort view" which filters out blue light to go easy on my eyes. Everything is so easy to set up, change or customize on this phone. If you like an app drawer no problem, just go into the settings and add it. LG has a lot of options to set your phone up to your liking and most are not "buried" in a sub menu that takes forever to find either. The battery on this phone lasts me almost two days. But then again I am not a "power user" but I do browse the net, text, check email, twitter etc. throughout the day but not constantly. When I have charged the battery it only takes maybe 2 hours at most? I have not charged it wirelessly yet but it is capable. A lot of reviews praise the dual camera on this phone and it I gotta say, now that I have used the "wide angle" lens, there is no going back! This camera is truly capable of taking some excellent shots especially in manual mode. Mostly I have left it in "auto" mode and generally have been pleased with excellent results. If you are inside in low light for the best results, I would set up your shot in manual mode. But this requires the same most of the time of any camera in a low light situation and most camera phones struggle in these situations. For the most part the G6's camera handles low light pretty well and the focus on this thing is lightning fast! The front camera gets the job done for selfies. I also purchased a 128gb class 10 SD Card for some extra storage as it only has 32gb of internal storage which almost half is already used for the operating system. Which brings me to some cons in my opinion and again these are just my opinions. 32gb of standard internal storage is a tad too low, most flagships do have atleast 64gb standard. Also, LG did away with the "Notification LED" on the phone this year in favor of an "Always on display" to show clock, phone status, notifications, battery etc. That is a useful feature as most phones have this feature but I miss the LED to "instantly" let me know if I have had a missed call or text or just to show me charging status. Simple. The "AOD" shows these things as well but at the same time drains battery life somewhat. You can set it up for the camera led to "flash" so as to alert you to notifications however. LG if you read this, PUT THE FRONT LED BACK in the G7! The G6 also has a headphone jack contrary to the trend manufacturers are taking to do away with one which is a PRO however, the US version of the phone does not have the sound "Quad DAC" that the Korean Version has. Listening through headphones still sounds great but I think LG should have made the QUAD DAC standard with all versions of the phone. Overall, the G6 is an EXCELLENT smartphone and I would buy it again even if it weren't on sale! Buy one and give it a try, you will love it!
