Does its job
on March 9, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for an inexpensive polarizing filter. I'd have probably purchased a more expensive one if it was available. I know that inexpensive filters don't review as well as better quality glass. Having said that, I used it on a recent cruise and it did a nice job of killing the reflections in the water. I'm happy with the purchase.

Fast WiFi

My previous router started experiencing slowdown issues with my WiFi connection. I could have purchased an exact replacement but instead decided to purchase a step up router. Glad I did as this router is definitely faster than the one it replaced.

Exact replacement for my Multi-function printer. It will last me a long time as it's not a starter cartridge like the one that came with the printer.

Sony cameras need an external charger.
on October 29, 2017

from Fargo, ND
Verified Purchase:Yes
My RX100 V was the only charging device for my two batteries. This charger fills the need to free up my camera from being a battery charger. Though the charger is bigger than I would like, it does have a USB port for charging other devices simultaneously. I downrated it one star for being larger than ideal.

Good replacement for original iPad charger

My iPad charger has been well used and the original cable began to fray at the lightning connector end. I needed to locate a replacement. As long as I needed the replacement, I decided to get one a. It longer than original. This cable seems solidly built and worked properly from first plug in.

Plenty of plastic for the larger phones

Verified Purchase:Yes
Too small for tablets, but can be cut to size. I used it to protect the screen of an expensive point and shoot camera.
When I tried to register the lifetime warranty, the product wasn’t listed. I called support who said the product doesn’t qualify. I pointed out that on the package, it states it comes with a lifetime warranty. After a short delay, I got an email with a warranty registration number.

Few options for decaf drinkers

We need decaf due to a medical issue. The coffee is good, but I wish there was more variety in decaf choices. Having said that, we will continue to purchase Donut Shop.

Thin, portable and convenient

Unlike thick mouse pads, this item is flexible and light enough to throw in a laptop case. What else can I say? I put the mouse in the case as well, and find the pair much easier to operate than the track pad on the laptop.

No need for a USB dongle

from Fargo, ND
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to maximize my USB ports on my Samsung Spin7, yet I prefer a mouse over the track pad. This mouse works great without needing to burn a USB port. Only noticible quibble is that it takes a moment of wiggling the mouse before it connects at boot up. This is not an issue at all for me.

Bought this to add an extra USB port

The Spin 7 Samsung laptop removed a USB3 port in favor of one USB-C port. I have a couple of external USB3 drives I like to connect simultaneously. This adaptor did it for me.

Only at Best BuyUpgrade your sound setup with these Insignia 25W Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers (Pair). Volume, treble and bass dials provide greater control over your home party, and the energy-saving design makes a minimal impact on your bills. The remote control, RCA cable and speaker wire included with these Insignia Bluetooth bookshelf speakers ensure a quick-and-easy installation.
 

I was told these two speakers can connect without wire and do so over bluetooth. Is this true? If so, how do I do that?

Like all bluetooth devices, your speakers must be paired with your music player. The process is no more difficult than with any other bluetooth device and it works well, delivering high quality sound. Instructions to pair were included in the documentation that came with the speakers.

Since these are powered, can I just get a 3.5mm outlet connection from my laptop with rca connections and plug into the rca input of the powered speaker and use them for my laptop computer?

The speakers have an auxiliary input that accepts either RCA or 3.5 mm wired connections. I only use the bluetooth connection so I haven't tried the wired inputs, but I suspect they sound at least as good as the bluetooth input.

Fry up batches of chicken, French fries and onion rings with this Chefman deep fryer. A long-handled basket keeps your hands safely away from the heated oil, and a rotary dial lets you adjust the temperature for each type of food. Featuring a 1500W heating element, this Chefman deep fryer provides fast cooking times.
 

What is the hottest temp it fries at?

It is marked to 375 degrees, but I don't trust the markings. When we turn the dial into the unmarked area above 375, it gets there. If we set it at 375, it only rises to about 285 and stays there. I usually drop french fries at about 325-350 based upon testing with a food thermometer. Since I use a therrmometer to determine when the oil is ready, I consider the miscalibration to be a minor issue.

With a spacious 1TB capacity, this Toshiba Canvio Connect HDTC710XL3A1 external USB 3.0/2.0 hard drive makes it easy to take your media on the go. Automatic backup helps protect your data, and an internal shock sensor guards the drive against damage.
 

Will this hard drive work with Vista and Windows 7?

I see no reason why this hard drive would not work with either Vista or Windows 7. It's also USB 2.0 compatible so even if the hardware on the computer isn't 3.0 compatible, the drive should still work. Data transfers would be slower, though.
