Great microwave

We bought this microwave for our kitchen remodel a couple of months ago, and so far it's been great! Does what a microwave is supposed to do very well, and love the simple user interface. SO much better than most microwaves I've used.
The automated settings seem to work well. though I've honestly not used them much, as I'm more of a dial in the power and time manually kind of user. For that, this is greatness; just push the power button until you get the power level you want, then turn the know to dial in the time. Easy Peasy! My wife does swear by the "sensor reheat" function, and the kids haven't ruined anything in it yet, so all is good!
Time will tell how well it lasts, but so far, highly recommended!

Never heard back from the advisor

During our remodel, I contacted Geek Squad for an in-home consultation to discuss home automation and security. I took time away from work to meet with the Geek Squad guy who promised a proposal by the following week. I never heard back from him. Maybe he decided that the current scope of my project wasn't big enough for him to spend time on. Would give zero stars if it were an option......

Died a few days after I installed it
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: Richard
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace the older version of this router, so am very familiar with it. Installed it and updated the firmware, got everything re-connected and all was generally good. Then it started to randomly drop clients. Re-started it multiple times, then even did a factory reset and re-installed it.
Eventually while re-booting, it would partially re-start, then crash, and try to re-start again. After several wasted hours, I boxed it up and took it back. Re-installed the old router, and all is good again. Very frustrating...

Great tv and price

Verified Purchase:Yes
My son started college this fall and took along an OLD tv to use in his dorm room. After toting that heavy beast all the way to school and up two flights, I tried to install it and found out that the remote for the old tv had died, so couldn't connect to the university cable system. SO, some quick online research on off to Best Buy. This set was highly reviewed and on sale, so we bought it on the spot. Was amazed how light and thin the set was compared to the old boat anchor. Even though it was 32" vs 27" for the old one, it fit the spot in his room easily. Got it hooked up to the cable, then the ethernet network for the smart TV functions in about 5 minutes. AWESOME picture. Would buy again, highly recommended, just make sure you catch it on sale!

MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.

Great laptop for college student
on September 30, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought the MacBook Air 13.3" with i5 and 256mb SSD for my son heading to college. We've always had Windows machine, but he got stuck on the Mac for light weight and portability. So far it's been a great choice for him. It's super portable so he takes it everywhere with him, and has had zero technical issues. His room mate had a terrible time getting his laptop to connect to campus wireless, but I was able to connect the Mac on the first try in about 60 seconds. He's a business student, so didn't need a ton of horsepower, so this works great for him. If you're running CAD/CAM or lots of heavy duty graphics programs, you'll want a beefier config with separate video card. If not, this is a great option, especially if you catch it on sale.
Really impressed by the speed of the machine, as the SSD is bus-connected. Open the lid, hit the on button and BAM it's up and running. Will consider switching to one of these when my old general purpose laptop requires replacement. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the price, which even on sale with college student discount was still higher than a windows machine with a more powerful configuration.
