Very good home theater system
on June 8, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace a Sony home theater system that only had one audio channel still working. The old Sony had a 5 disc DVD changer which we rarely used so the BluRay on this was a good upgrade. The sound is even better than the old Sony was (which was good) and the wireless rear surround speakers (wired to rear sound module, wireless to main unit) sound awesome.

Filter was easy to install. Took all of about 2 minutes. Filter needs to bee changed to continue to remove pollutants such as lead and organic material from your ice and drinking water.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.

It's a good quality electrical cord. Is required for installation and should provide years of trouble free use.

A specialized 5-burner cooktop ensures that you have the flexibility to simultaneously cook multiple dishes using different-size pans. For added convenience, a triple burner allows you to go from rapid boil to a true simmer.

Great stove

Love the ceramic top. with the warmer station. Replaced a 20 year old GE with this. The convection oven is taking a little getting used too as is cooks faster than conventional. It does give the option to turn off the convection fan if you want. The trade off is things would cook slower and possibly less evenly. I like the oven will signal when it is preheated to the set temperature.

Roomy refrigerator with several chill zones. A gallon milk jug will fit in the door shelves. Has a great ice maker which dispenses cubed or crushed ice. My only complaint is the water dispenser should have a larger nozzle to dispense water faster. Freezer is a good size

Good fitness tracker
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: GaryF
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a Fitbit Zip for about a year and a half. Finally misplaced it and decided to go with a wrist tracker. Many reviews of the earlier wrist worn Fitbits complained about the band breaking (which were not replaceable). The Charge 2 does have a replaceable wristband. The other concern I had was the battery needs to be recharged about every 5 days but I found a full charge can be done in about an hour. The heart rate monitor, sleep monitor and stair climbing tracking are nice features. I also like that it will vibrate if a phone call or text comes in and I can see whether I want to answer the call without pulling the phone out of my pocket.

Outstanding video streamer

Verified Purchase:Yes
I looked at several models, The Roku 3, which we ultimately bought, the Roku 4, which I read a number of complaints about (noise and heat level mostly), and the Roku Stick (was tempting especially if you travel a lot).
I have found the Roku 3 is plenty fast, short video loading time, never had buffering delays. Setup was easy. It's a good extension to what your cable subscription has or it's got plenty of free or low cost content available on it's own.
I would highly recommend it.

I have my home wired for a surround sound speaker system through the ceiling. Are these speakers able to be mounted on the ceiling?

Yes, they can be mounted on the wall or ceiling.

Are the speakers wireless?

The rear speakers are wired to a distribution box at the rear of the room. The rear distribution box has a wireless connection to the main unit. The 4 front speakers (Subwoofer, left, center and right) are wired to the main unit.

Is the top a smooth clear black glass and shows every little piece of dirt or does it have some texture in either feel or color that helps to hide that? Thanks

It has a smooth top.

I currently have the original Fitbit and am looking to upgrade. Does the Fitbit Charge 2 measure activity other than walking or running (i.e.--swimming, bike riding)? Thanks!

It will measure running, weights, treadmill, workout, elliptical, bike, and interval workouts. Not waterproof so swimming would be out. (Is water resistant)

Is there version for Samsung Galaxy

It will connect with any phone that uses Bluetooth LE. It would not sync with my old Droid RAZR Maxx HD because that phone didn't have Bluetooth LE (low energy)
