A Great HE Machine!
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: SeattleJet
My Whirlpool washer finally broke down after 12 years. This was a traditional top loader washer with agitator. And this Maytag is my first HE top loader washer. I read many articles about HE machines - and how completely different they are from traditional washers. So I really needed to rethink my approach to this HE washer. Many complain about HE machines - because they do not know how they function. This article helped me understand HE washers and HE detergent, if you are not familiar with HE machines vs traditional ones, I'd recommend read this article:
http://www.cleaninginstitute.org/assets/1/Page/HE.pdf
As for this model:
1. Some reviewers have said that it is loud. I guess, being used to traditional washer for 12 years, I have found this washer much quieter. My wife - who is sensitive to noise, find this machine pleasant. The sound is not the same as the traditional washers. So you might have to get used to it.
2. Being HE machine, it uses much, much less water than traditional washer. You have to be patient with the wash. You might be tempted to open the lid and look inside, whether there is enough water. BUT remember that HE machines do NOT immerse your clothes with water. So if you see dry part of the clothes on the top, don't worry. It will be washed.
3. Washes cleaner than my traditional washer. My wife and I were amazed. Our regular wash looked and smelled cleaner than being washed in our old one. Make sure you ONLY use HE detergent.
4. Spin cycle wrings out the water from the clothes almost dry, so the clothes do not have to spent much time in a dryer. This saves money.

All in all, I love this machine. The price $379 (with FREE shipping) was great value. As long as you remember that HE washers are completely different than traditional ones, you will have no unnecessary worries.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enjoy a long battery life with this unlocked Blu Life Max smartphone.

This Blu Life Max smartphone uses the Android Marshmallow operating system, and it has 16GB of internal memory for storage.

A Very Good BUDGET Phone!
on February 6, 2017
Posted by: SeattleJet
Definitely very good entry level/budget smartphone. If you are looking for something more powerful or better screen resolution, then you can skip this one. But for those who is looking for a budget smartphone that will do basic tasks well (email, text, call, web-surfing, video chat, and some games), this phone is something you should consider. And if you are somehow able to get this phone for less than $100.00, it is an excellent value.
PROS:
1. DECENT BUILD. No, this is not a premium or flagship phone. It doesn't pretend to be. In this price range, the phone is good enough. No loose parts. Aluminum rim is a good choice with polycarbonate back that has faux leather texture provides solid feel to the phone. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is now a norm even for the budget phones. Despite the price, the phone is nicely built.
2. FINGER PRINT SENSOR. Surprisingly, the finger print sensor works great and fast. It reads your finger print more accurately compare to some of the mid-range phones. While it is not the fastest, it is fast enough.
3. BATTERY LIFE. This is the highlight of the phone, 3700 mAh provides ample supply of power for your use throughout the day. I am not a heavy user, but I am not a light user either. I don't play games however, and it lasted me 2 full days with one charge. So even if you are a heavy user, you don't have to recharge your phone until you go to bed. I never worry about the battery life when I am out.
4. MICRO SD CARD SLOT. Since it only comes with 16GB internal storage (11GB available), some may feel this is too small. But having SD card slot available is a great option to increase your storage as Internal storage or portable media storage. However, I strongly recommend that you purchase UHS speed Class 3 (U3) micro sd card. This will ensure fast read and write of your storage.
5. THIN & LIGHT. The phone while has 5.5" screen is nevertheless light and thin. Therefore it is really easy to hold on your hand. Very comfortable.
6. PERFORMANCE. It comes with 2GB RAM with MediaTek 6737 chip. MT6737 is slight upgrade from MT6735 (BLU R1 HD), and it is generally snappy when apps opened. Multitasking was easy and did not experience any noticeable lags. I compared it with Moto G4 Play (Snapdragon 410), and overall it is slightly faster than G4 Play.
7. SPEAKER. The speaker is louder and clearer than BLU R1 HD. Also located on the bottom of the phone instead on the back as R1 HD.

CONS:
1. SCREEN RESOLUTION. Although it is 720 x 1280, because it is 5.5" screen, it only shows ~ 267 ppi. But Moto G4 Play also comes with 720 x 1280 pixels, but it has 5" screen and therefore it has ~ 294 ppi. What it means is that same resolution for both, but because G4 has a smaller screen, it is sharper and clear in presentation of the pages. On Life Max, you will definitely notice pixelation. But again, if the screen is important to you, then you have to skip this one, and perhaps consider Moto G4 Play as a budget phone.
2. EARPHONES. BLU comes with usual accessories: Slim PTU case, screen protector, and earphones. But the earphone is unusable. You will hear dull sound and distortion. BTW a plastic screen protection is already installed, so make sure only peel off blue description sticker.
3. CAMERA. The quality is decent but not great. But of course, if you are considering this phone, it is not because of the camera.

Overall, this is a great budget phone. I enjoy using it. But if the screen is important to you even for the budget phone, then you want to consider another budget phone Moto G4 Play, it has better pixel density than Life Max. Life Max is efficient and capable smartphone for most of the people who do not need premium or flagship phones. Highly Recommended.
