LG LCRT1513SB Microwave: This LG microwave's sleek, modern exterior complements any kitchen décor, and the display is packed with functions that make it a breeze to cook or defrost your favorite meals.
Posted by: sdmarsh
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this LG microwave to replace my just died Sears Kenmore Elite microwave that just died while heating some food. I read many, many reviews and thought I'd give this LG model a shot.
After finding this in my local Best Buy store, I picked it up and brought it home. If I did not know better, it looks exactly like my old Sears unit as far as size and shape. In fact, the glass turntables are identical.
Two things about this particular LG model, that may, or may not bother you. I bought the black exterior finish, so other colors (stainless or white) may or may not be different.
#1....as most reviewers have mentioned here at Best Buy, and other sites that sell this model, the key pad lettering is pretty difficult to read as the print is a dark grey and the background is black. It's ok to read for daylight or very bright kitchen lights at night. But if it's dark and your kitchen lighting is not very bright, it's more difficult to read. A flashlight really helps in this matter. #2....the inside is also a very dark grey finish and while the light does stay on when the door is open, it's a bit harder to see food that may have splashed onto the side walls for cleaning.
I knew about the lettering on the keypad, and it's really not a problem. This LG microwave, so far after two months usage, has been great. I highly recommend this unit.

Very good groomer for low $$$
on November 24, 2016
Posted by: sdmarsh
To begin with, I received this groomer from Norelco / Best Buy free of charge for a review, and my review will be honest. This is a cordless wet or dry groomer that you can also use in the shower if you want. It comes with seven attachments. Two are trimmers. one measures 1 1/4 wide, and the other 3/4 wide for tight spots. Also, there is an attachment piece that functions as a nose hair trimmer of ear hair trimmer.
Other attachments : three cheap thin plastic pieces that slide over the large trimmer piece that lets you select varying lengths to trim you hair or beard. Also another attachment that looks like a facial trimmer from an old electric razor. It's called a bodygroom shaver for a smooth shave below the neck. The trimmer pieces are removed buy twisting the trimming piece clockwise, and then counter clockwise to attach.
The kit also comes with a tube of lubricating oil and a leather like storage pouch to hold the trimmer and all of the attachments including the recharging cord which is roughly 4' long. The groomer also has a separate button for turbo power boost. You'll get fast results on thick hair with the turbo setting, which increases the cutting speed.
Initially it took about 1 hour to fully charge the unit. It will have about 1 hours worth of usage until it needs to be charged again.
I have trimmed my sideburns and it works great. I also shaved off my goatee that I had for 1 1/2 years using the large trimmer blade with the hair-clipping comb attachment and it cut through the hair without any problems what so ever, It did not pull any hairs or get jammed.
It would have been nice if the groomer kit came with two other items . #1... a small brush to brush the hair off the groomer when you're done with it. Instead, you must blow it off, or like me, I used the small brush from my old grooming kit. #2... would be some sort of base to stand the grooming unit on when not in use. For those that would use this very frequently, having a base to place the unit on so it could be placed on your bathroom sink area would have been great.
Overall, I'm giving this 4 1/2 out of five stars. It would have gotten a full five stars if the two items I mentioned above came with the kit. I highly recommend this for yourself or as a gift. Also, the pictures attached to my review are of my actual product.

Another top notch Marvel movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
Captain America: Civil War on Blu ray is one of the best demo material movies to come out so far in 2016. Captain America Civil is reference quality material from beginning to end. Exceptional audio and picture quality. The picture is crisp, vibrant, colorful and detailed. The audio is exceptionally bombastic and powerful and will definitely give your surround sound system a work out.

A different look for a Wi-Fi device
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: sdmarsh
To start off, I received this wi-fi system from Best Buy to review it and the review will be honest. I have been using this router for 2 weeks before I wrote this review as I wanted to make sure of it's performance. And it sure does not disappoint.
Though I've hooked up a few wireless routers in my day, it seems quite some time in between hooking them up, so it's almost new to me each time I do so. I had the whole Orbi system set up and configured including changing passwords, system name, etc. in 35 - 45 minutes. I'm sure many will do it faster than I did though.
I have the Orbi Router (RBR50) and the Orbi Satellite (RBS50) These have a way different look than just about every Wi-Fi system out there. At first it was weird looking at them, but now I can see they blend in nicely, almost like a vase of some sort. I provided a few photos so that you can see what they look like even though Best Buy has the "factory" photos posted. The measurements of the units are 9" high x 6 5/8 wide x 2 1/3 deep and weigh 2 pounds each.
My house is 2 stories and roughly 1800 square feet. My internet connection is in an upstairs office, so the main unit is there. Unfortunately, the main unit is just a few inches away from a solid concrete wall that is about 3" thick. BUT, it did not impede the performance at all. The satellite unit is downstairs, and it too is near a wall, and again, no problems. Both units combined will cover approximately 4000 square feet.
Currently I have 2 pc's connected by Lan ports, and 3 cell phones, 2 iPads, 1 Verizion tablet, 1 PS4, 1 Xbox 1 and a 4K Roku connected wirelessly. While all have not been running at the same time, the performance has been flawless. Gaming on the consoles has been great with no lag. And streaming 4K content to my Roku, then into my home theater system has worked great as well.
Four (4) 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports.The main unit has 1 WAN + 3 LAN and 1 USB 2.0 while the satellite has 4 LAN and one USB 2.0
My only real gripe has been the power bricks for the units. They are BIG and it took a bit of reconfiguring my electrical outlets to get everything plugged back in. My previous power brick for my Asus AC1900 was much smaller. The Orbi power bricks measure 3 1/4 tall x 2 3/4 wide x 1 1/8 thick.
Other than that, everything has been working great since it was hooked up 2 weeks ago. Though this system is a bit pricey ($399.99) at this writing, it's worth every penny. I highly recommend this set up.

Excellent plain paper for Epson printers
on August 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always had Epson printers. They have always been the ones that printed outstanding photos. My current one is an Epson XP-820, which I highly recommend by the way. Anyway, when I printed text on plain 8 1/2 x 11 regular paper, it was not very good in my opinion. Also, many times there are color photos or graphs to go along with the text that I was printing. The outcome was disappointing to say the least.
I print my photos on Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy, and they turn out fantastic. So, why not try this Epson Bright White Paper and see if the text printing will improve. it's usually priced under $5.00 for a ream of 500 sheets, so very reasonable in price.
I was blown away by the quality of the text, as well as photos and graphs, that accompany the text documents on the Epson Bright White Paper versus plain old copy paper that you get at some of the office supply places for a buck or two. The Epson Bright White Paper is outstanding for just this sort of thing if you care about they quality of your document that you're printing.
I highly recommend Epson's Bright White Paper for your every day printing needs. And I highly recommend Epson's Premium Photo Paper Glossy for printing outstanding quality photos.

I bought this as a blind buy. I had only seen the trailers and word of mouth for the most part.This is a comic book movie riddled with violence, blood, profanity and a bit of nudity. Despite that, this film was a huge success. The picture and audio quality are top notch. The 7.1 surround sound experience on this disc is superb. Action sequences are loud and clear with lots of good LFE. For the video quality, there is some minor distracting CGI here and there but not enough to ruin the movie. The extras are abundant, and very entertaining. Highly recommended.

Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.
Posted by: sdmarsh
I got this router from Best Buy to review it and the review will be honest. First off, this router is huge, at least compared to my previous router which is an Asus RT-AC68U. The Linksys measures approximately 12" wide including the side antennas, 10" deep including the antennas and 61/2" high including the antennas at the rear of the unit. It weighs about 4 pounds. The power cord is in two pieces, one of which has the power module. The total length is 10' which is very nice, but the power module (heavy brick) is very close to the router, which in my case, the brick is hanging from the back my desk which I really don't care for as I believe that it could unplug from the router. It would have been nice to have the power module brick closer to the plug, rather than the router. It also comes with a very short (39 inches) Ethernet cable. I'm sure most people will already have a longer Ethernet cable if you're upgrading or replacing your router. But if this is your first router, the included Ethernet cable should suffice until you can get a longer one if needed.
Other features are :
Wi-Fi Bands : 2.4 and 5 GHz(2x) (simultaneous tri-band).
Ethernet Ports : 1 Gigabit WAN port and 8 Gigabit LAN ports.
8 external adjustable antennas.
1.4 GHz dual-core processor.
Network : 802.11b, 802.11a/g, 802.11n, 802.11ac
On the back of the router there are two USB ports, one 2.0 and one 3.0.
It comes with a 3 year warranty.

I've only set up one other router before and the set up for this Linksys was pretty easy. My only problem was after I disconnected my old router and the hooked up the Linksys, I did not get any internet connection what so ever. I simply unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Linksys, and then I unplugged the power from my modem and waited a few minutes. Then I plugged the power back into the modem, let it fully reboot, and then reconnect the Ethernet cable to the Linksys and I had internet. Setting up the Linksys the rest of the way was easy and straight forward. Don't forget to change the factory password to one of your own.
This router is designed for very large houses. My house is older, two stories and about 2000 square feet with plaster walls and solid core doors. I get a very good signal anywhere in the house, and easily 175 to 200 feet from my house down the driveway. So it gets great coverage. My upload and download speeds are a bit better than my old Asus was. I currently have 3 devices connected to the Linksys by Ethernet and 7 devices streaming from the Linksys and all run smoothly and have great connections and speeds.
The router has been in use for 4 days, so no long term usage yet to base it on, but so far, I give it 5 out of 5 stars. If I run into any problems, I'll come back and edit my review.
I attached two pictures that I took for this review.

Excellent ink...but carefully read box contents.

Verified Purchase:Yes
While I have not yet opened this exact package, I have used other packages of the Epson 273 ink and they are great. They produce very fast drying, and beautiful color photographs in my Epson XP-820 printer using Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy.
My only gripe about THIS particular package is that I though ALL of the 5 cartridges that came in this package were the XL size as on the top front of the box it says 273XL. BUT....that is only for the regular black. The other 4 cartridges (photo black, cyan, magenta and yellow) are the regular size. I guess it's really my fault for not correctly reading everything on the box and I'm sure it's a great marketing item to do it that way for Epson. It would be nice if all of the cartridges in this box were XL though.

The Roku 4 is my first foray into the streaming world, and I could not be happier so far with this unit. You can view 2,500+ streaming channels, and some presets like Hulu, Netflix are already there. In addition you can get free trails of many of the paid streaming services.
Also, there are many, many free channels to view. One of my favorites is the Smithsonian channel which I do not get in my satellite package, but here with Roku it's free. You can also stream 4K Ultra HD if you have a 4K TV. At the moment though, there is not much 4K content out there, but in the near future, I'm sure there will be.
Another cool feature is voice search. Just say what you're looking for into the enhanced remote and get fast and comprehensive search results by title, actor, or director.
I highly recommend the Roku 4 if you have a 4K Ultra HD tv, or plan on buying one in the near future. If not, the the Roku 3 will be just as good.

They changed this product after I preordered. It was supposed to be g502 hero and has the correct Logitech product code but now it says it’s available and the Hero is supposed to be out in October. What’s going on here? Did Best Buy screw up?
Today is October 14, 2018 and I have had my Logitech G502 Hero since October 01, 2018. Were you talking perhaps about the Logitech G PRO Hero Gaming Mouse as that mouse was available on August 21, 2018 ? The G502 Hero was available on August 30, 2018.

Enjoy your favorite films in stunning clarity with this Samsung BD-J5100/ZA Blu-ray player, which delivers arresting images with 1080p resolution. Streaming capability lets you enjoy a wide array of entertainment.
How to select watch movie as the remote does nothing
OK, this may sound dumb, but do you have the batteries installed correctly ? Are the batteries new ? If the answer is yes to both questions, you can push the "play" button on the front of the unit. If the movie then starts, and your batteries are new and installed correctly, then it sounds like the remote is defective. I would return the the unit to Best Buy and exchange for another one. Good luck.

Create vivid, sharp prints with this Epson Claria Premium T273020 black ink cartridge that produces crisp, dark text. The individual design makes installation easy.
I have an XP-620 printer. Can i use the XL inks for all the colors or just the Black?
Yes you can. I find it somewhat hard to find original Epson ink in the XL size with the exception of black and photo black in stores and most websites too. I'm talking ONLY about genuine Epson ink. Not some 3rd party ink that may or may not work in your printer. Go to Epson's website and you can get the colors you want in XL.
