Great sound via the Aux input port

Verified Purchase:Yes
The receiver's small size allowed me to install it in the very small cubby in the dash next to the cigarette lighter. The small-diameter antenna cable was easily hidden underneath door molding and carpet. It was more than enough length to reach all the way to the trunk.
The unit has 10 presets for programming and an A-B selector switch that allows an additional 10 presets. The A-B selector is small and the indicator is hard to see when driving. As 10 presets is plenty for my wife's favorite channels, we set up channel B to be identical to channel A so that if the selector happens to get into the wrong position, there won't be any confusion when channel presets are selected.

What's great about it: Relatively easy install in my wife's Honda Civic
What's not so great: A-B preset selector is small and it's hard to tell which mode it's in without taking eyes off the road for too long.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
