I needed to replace the external "Time Machine" on my Imac and just took the advice of the clerk with no checking on my own. I've gotten used to that kind of action on a lot of Best Buy products.. this item, as all the rest of my purchases was as suggested, a good replacement.

Great present for my wife!

Ralph did a very professional job with this installation from start to finish and beyond. He had all the parts in stock, made an appointment for installation that was convenient for me, and had the job complete on time.... which is really all I can ask of a Tech... His attitude was terrific, even when I had to have the remote reprogrammed a few days after the install. Over the last few years, I have had Best Buy install, 2 remote starters, and a stereo and never have had reason to complain, and in fact, I have gotten to the point, if they have it, and I want it, there's no hesitation doing business with Best Buy or their tech services.. A+

Great little icemaker

Verified Purchase:Yes
I seem to go through these icemakers like watercoolers.. They tend to last me only 6-10 months, so I've had 8 or so over the last few years. usually at a cost of $119 - $149 a pop. They just don't hold up for full time use. But when I saw this one on SALE FOR $79, AND I know Best Buy does right by it's customers with extended warranties , I went for this one with a 2 yr extended warranty.. It make a little bit of noise in use, but since our bar is in a separate room off the den, it's no issue for us.. It's VERY CONVENIENT ACCESS with all all clear top/lid, and actually has a smaller footprint than the previous ones we've had, so I grabbed one ... very happy and would recommend it to a friend.

Don't sell this gadget short, it's great!

We have 3 of these in our house. It's about the size of a hockey puck but sounds much bigger, but by adding a bluetooth speaker, it fills the game room with a great sound, plus controlling the a/c, stereo, lights, and answering inane question from my drunk friends playing pool. 3 of these (amazon DOT, + the Amazon Echo, and the Amazon tap. All have their own advantages and drawbacks, but the pluses far outnumber the minuses.

This is just what I needed to do some of my office work at home. I tried the "Neat Scanner" but it didn't perform nearly as well as this unit.

save money at what cost?

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as a display product, and got a good price, then within 24 hrs, I began having issues with the track pad. It works find with an external mouse, but the trackpad is non functioning. I was 2 days late contacting tech support and so I'm hoping the Lenovo mfg warranty will help. I certainly didn't expect problems this soon after purchase and didn't buy the extended tech / product support. Sooo, maybe I saved money , maybe I didn't... at least my wireless mouse works but I would expect the track pad to last longer than it did.

I originally got the "Neat" scanner, thinking it was just what I needed, but after just one day, I realized it wasn't compatible with some of my companies needs. It is a little larger, physically, than I thought too, and took up a little more desk space than I was happy with. But for those folks that have a scanner need, and this will do the job for you, it's very nice.

Good for some things

it does what it says it does.. First let's discuss the design:
We got the RED version and love the splash of color in our Stainless / Black kitchen. The unit does a good job of what it does. The adjusting tilt works great for changing from waffles to meat cooking. and the included separate drip tray is very hand and easy to use.
The digital controls are clear and easy to use, bluetooth or wifi would be good for preheating but that's not an option so I can't comment on that.
We have been "moderately" happy with the finished product when cooking steaks or chicken, or porkchops, YOU DO HAVE TO SEASON a little more than normal since there's no grease or smoke . So far, it doesn't seem to "sear" the grill marks as much as we'd like, but I think adding a little cookiing oil to the item being cooked will help..
BIG PLUS.... It's very easy to clean.. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ABOUT NOT SCRATCHING the ceramic cooking surface and the cooked on grease will just wipe away and look new with a minimum of effort, same for the waffle plates.

Great Bargain, and nice addition

I have a kitchen that can only be described as "Very complete". 2 ovens, 1 hot air oven, two microwaves, 4 burner electric cooktop with built in electric Grill, and 2 Induction cooktops and a Sous Vide cook setup.. When I saw this on sale, AND it included more cookware, well, the answer was obvious. I like to cook, and I love gadgets, so I bought this as a "spare" just because it was a good deal...

you have a couple of options, 1: scale up on the printer (there's an option for that)
2: scale up once it's on your computer.. there's plenty of options for working with photos.

Print, copy and scan with this Brother HL-L2380DW laser printer, which features built-in wireless networking and an Ethernet interface for simple Internet connection options. The 2.7" touch-screen display simplifies operation.
Does the toner dry out if printer isn't used
Does the toner tend to dry out like my inkjet printer if you don't keep using the printer? I only print things once in a while.
well, toner will dry out, but you didn't say "how long".. I would think it's good for a yr at least..

can you scan a document and send it to an email address?
I want to be able to scan a document and have the document sent to my email address as a pdf file. Or I want to be able to scan a document to a flash drive. Can the 2380 3 in 1 do these things?
yes it will do what you need.
