decent average performance, potential noise issue

Been looking to replace faulty 7 y/o, side by side fridge made by S**S**G brand. researched many reviews before purchasing this Insignia fridge. very similar to LG of similar specs (wouldn't be surprised if made by them for best buy). did not want to spend that much for something that will probably need replacement in less than 10 yrs. PROS: high quality stainless steel finish is not as "dirty", high maintenance as other brands (finger , smudge prints not as visible on this insignia), decent useable space for exterior size, interior LED lighting is upscale feature,plastic shelves are not as flimsy as other fridges in this price range, no exterior handle makes it sleek and easier to wipe clean, good value during black Friday sale (saved "too hundred"). CONS: only fridge is LED light, which front position reduces lighting to back items, freezer wire shelf is not as convenient to have as glass. biggest potential flaw: NOISER than expected, the so called "high efficiency" compressor runs a lot noisier than I thought. Not obtrusive but if you expect library quiet silence in your kitchen you will be disappointed. Bottom Line: For the price point and the high quality stainless steel look this insignia fridge is tough value to beat. Recommended as a value choice.

after one week of use, the best i can say is expectations not met. "performance" is really more like of a tablet.i got this "laptop" to take to school in book bag along with my 8 books. the size and design were attractive. i had My university's IT dept. help me set up, remove most bloatware, install REAL anti virus program. CPU constantly chokes up S-L-O-W-S performance bad. like cell phone capacity: the claimed 32GB was actually about 12GB of available memory storage out of box (see pic). the blue color is nice BUT the glossy finish equals easy scratches, smudges, doesnt stay clean very long. the Matte screen has good viewablity. in the end this "laptop" will not replace CPU performance of a real substantial laptop. good thing i only paid 1one c note + ten $. barley good enough to view email, basic webpages.

this is my 2nd card of this exact kind. I have owned this PNY UH1 sd card, no problems in PS digicam. I now use them in both my canon digital cameras. my SLR requires speedy UH1 card for maximum 4FPS burst capability and this PNY card performs as required. cant complain about SD card performance. the only areas of improvement are that WRITING speed should be noted along read speed and the affixed label should be of metallic construction (my 1st card's label is faded and peeling at corners).

Specs seem great but performance is not up to spec

i purchased this based on previous satisfied purchase of entry level 7" lenovo tablet. i have owned this conevrtible laptop since feb. 2016. after a few months of use I can comment on several issues. perrformance specs seemed great for a convertible laptop. good amount of memory, easy to unload bloatware. installed windows 10 upgrade as recommended by OS. computer is not that speedy for basic internet browsing. touch screen performance when using as "tablet" also lags, even after calibration. im not really a fan of the integrated "apps" with classic laptop menu. Its perfect for savvy smart phone users but I prefer seamless classic windows operation. the buttons are flimsy, I question the durability. screen resolution is not the best and suffers even more when not plugged in wall (eco savings turned off is worthless). viewing angle is below average. for the price, I would have paid a bit more for entry level conventional laptop. I would not purchase another Lenovo convertible laptop.

purchased this to replace a Lumia 635. great experience with lumia 635 but wanted to upgrade to larger screen, flash camera and Denim OS. Windows OS was easy to adapt to from android OS. windows makes it easy to completely remove BLOATWARE apps unlike some androids. also I notice that windows OS does a better job of not having apps bombard you with ads (Pandora). the here! maps/GPS are the best, download what maps you want and this becomes a great GPS unit (without regard as to internet connectivity). that alone phone worth it. although ATT branded, im able to use another "consumer" cell service with no problems. I requested to have ATT unlock but unfortunately I had inserted SIM chip so they were reluctant to do so. TIP: ATT will provide unlock code BUT you MUST remove original SIM chip before inserting battery and powering on. request will take about 2 days (I did so with a 2nd LUMIA 640 I purchased). 2 cons for me: 1st: app selection much limited compared to android, although all major APPS are available (FBk, IGm, NFx, YTb, PDa), 2nd, the back cover fit on my 1st lumia 640 was kinda flimsy, snapped off easy. I installed TPU soft cover and within two months I dropped phone about 3 ft onto laminate floor and screen shattered. so I purchased a 2nd lumia 640 2months after. I noticed on my 2nd 640 back cover was a better fit , maybe it was redesigned for that fix. overall a great phone alternative to android OS phones.

the best way to smarten up TVs. 2nd roku in our home (roku1, now LT model ). no difference in the 1's 1080p vs LT's 720p resolution. have almost one full year w/roku1(only problem was with remote control malfunctioning; cus.t serv. contactetd and quickly was shipped replacement control no charge even though was beyond 90 standard warranty!!). decided to add a 2nd roku to our home. rokus' better now that updated firmware and Youtube is available. lots of "channels" to choose from, some popular some obscure. great to find the Xtra private channels, something for everyone in household to watch. really like the HDMI along w/SD outputs, have this connected to DVR and able to record most content. really happy with ROKU get 1 n be happy with it. BTW I was glad to be shipped the newer 2700r LT model over the previous generation 2450d LT as pictured #no hardware differences, contacted customer service to verify, roku chat customer service is a +)

Enhance your entertainment area with this Dynex™ DX-WD1335 stand that supports most TVs up to 32" and features a dark oak finish for a stylish look. The cable management openings allow easy organization.

# just picked up this dynex dx-wd1335 tv stand at a great sale price! (and combined w/my BB reward certificates). easy DIY assembly. the overall dark wood finish looks good for a "wood" compressed product, NOTE some underneath areas are NOT finished (or at least sprayed painted black) so it makes for a contrasting look when viewed at odd angles. Tapered legs LOOK nice but are of questionable build construction, I don't believe they are sturdy enough for the long run. They should be of solid wood construction and not compressed wood product. other than this..nice touch of the openings in rear for cable management. Good enough for the sale price...thumbs up!
What's great about it: the dark wood finish, tapered legs
What's not so great: questionable leg construction...

ive been lookin at these pioneer speakers for a while now since they are pretty much a direct replacement for OEM front speakers. finally got these when price dropped to less than half orig. price. Wanted to upgrade sound in my Honda '03 ODY W/O cutting splicing wires. very satisfied with fit. only had to snip off the speaker prongs (w/ exacto blade=easy!#. I even used the original screws. NOTE: I got the metra#72-7800 connectors for Honda/acura vehicles as to not cut speaker wires. once connected sound was immediately improved over stock speakers. very clear defined sound, bass MUCH improved. kept my stock head unit, I readjusted settings since these pioneer speakers are much improved. good power and sound quality. I have placed 2nd order to replace rear stock speakers!!! see my pic #stock/pioneer) for reference.
