We didn't use it, not once. As we started to install it, the technician said he recognized what was wrong with the combo unit I was replacing. It turns out I just had a worn out door switch on my combo, over stove, microwave, convection, broiler unit.. Cost $150 to fix... sooooo.. returned this one, but it looked nice.

I saw this on sale and decided to try it... Perfect!! Now I want one for my office as well but not at the "normal" price. If it goes on sale...I'll definitely buy another and I have a friend with one of those "massage" chairs that wants on.. he says reaches places his $4000 chair doesn't, and does a better job..

If ya don't succeed at first

Verified Purchase:Yes
We recently bought a new Bosch 500 series dishwasher to replace an older, but great machine and had it installed by the (for lack of a polite word) "guys" from Geek squad.. The installed it crooked, broke our faucet and a line to our disposal, then left, telling us..."you'll need to call a plumber". What a monkey show! We had to contact,(AT OUR EXPENSE, to be re-embursed later, someone to fix the installation!!! The 2nd GeekSquad installer came out to mount the new dishwasher in line with the cabinet since it was installed 3/4" crooked by the first crew. After about 4-5 days, we finally had our sink and disposal and new dishwasher fixed, installed, repaired.. We'd certainly recommend you NOT use Best Buy to install a new purchase, or at the least be sure the installer isn't "retiring next week" and not caring how the work was performed. Still waiting for our repair cost to be refunded at this time.
A few days after this chaos, we had a different installer come out to remount the dishwasher.. the way it should have been, although our sink and disposal had not been repaired, and due to that, we couldn't use the dishwasher yet... Finally it's all been installed/repaired.. We love the Bosch dishwasher, it's almost completely silent, even right beside it when running and we're ready to be happy when our costs have been restored to us for the original botched attempt

Handy gadget for couch surfers

I was suspicious about this unit since there's so many "almost" units that do something similar.... but, with that said, I had no problem getting this to work on two different sets in our house, bedroom and livingroom... It's handy to be able to go to bed and THEN turn off the family room tv and turn ON the bed tv, without having to actually got off our duffs and go get the dedicated remotes... Great Gadget, works as stated... I'd recommend it to a friend...

Great Alcove Lighting

I bought this to expand our ever-expanding Hue lighting system. It works great for the shadow lighting in our ceiling alcoves.. Plug and Play is the best ever.. Creates a great mood level lighting, or on Bright White will make the room like a surgery theater.

So simple even an Adult can do it..

We put one pair of these to make a room light become a 3 way switch.. Super Simple solution to wanting to turn lights ON from two or more locations. We had a room that we wanted to be able to turn the lights on or off from more than the single location original "wall box" mounted switch.. We replaced the standard light bulbs with Philips Hue White in all fixtures, then, by setting up two of these switches, we suddenly have lights that can be controlled from inside or outside of the room.. with no hassle about the normal 3-way switch wiring and installation.. SUPER HANDY and we can even dim the lights.. no mounting issue, thanks to the peel off back strips..

We bought this as a backup for our business office and are very pleased with the easy setup.. would recommend it to anyone. The only reason for a "4" instead of five is, I reserve "5"'s for "perfect" with no room for improvement.. very few things I review get the highest rating.. there's almost always room for improvement, but no complaint on this at all

this printer replaced another HP model that quit communicating wirelessly.
With the docs that came in the box.. was an "HP Instant Ink" brochure that is a great deal.. so between the printer, and the ink offer, it is Win Win. I would definitely recommend to a friend...

Display media from your Apple device on an HDTV or other HDMI-compatible screen using this Apple® MD826ZM/A Lightning digital A/V adapter, which features video mirroring capability for enjoying content in up to 1080p resolution.
 

I understand it will work with just about any HDMI tv - my question is about my phone. I don't have an iPhone, I have a Samsung Turbo 2. Can I use this cable with it ?

no, this is for Iphone only

Convert your paperwork to digital files with this Epson WorkForce document scanner. The 20-page auto-document feeder makes it easy to scan large batches of paper, and the convenient setup lets you send your documents directly to online storage accounts. Capable of scanning recipes, business cards, and two-sided documents, this Epson WorkForce document scanner makes a versatile addition to your office.
 

Is this scanner compatible with a Mac OS X version 10.11.6? Does this scanner come with an install CD for Mac? Not interested in getting a scanner that requires me to go to a website and download install drives. If not, please recommend one that has it.

if you are counting on a CD for the latest software updates, you're expecting too much. By the time a product gets through the channels, to the store, and ultimately to the end consumer, there had BETTER be updates. I'm not trying to help you find a scanner, that's on you, but this one is great!!

How "bendable" are these?

I know I can't cut them without a problem but could they curve 90 degrees to go under some kitchen cabinets with a corner?
you CAN in fact cut them. Each strip (NOT Extention) is marked where it can be cut.. , They are about as flexible as a thin leather belt..

Can you cut the strip in 2 and still use both of the strips you cut?

NO YOU CANNOT.. once you cut it, you're done with the end you cut off. There are marks WHERE you can cut, but the piece cut off is trash.. They also sell 3' extenders you can add to the standard 6' strips. But at the cost, I'd avoid cutting anything.. $90 a pop is a lot of money to throw away..

Will this printer pull the paper in face up heads first?

We are looking to replace an older laser printer we use for printing checks. The printer must work by pulling from a stack of checks face up heads first in order to maintain check #'s in the proper order. Will this printer work for this use? Is it easily connected to a network computer or will this give us issue?
of course, it's a matter of how you stack the paper in the paper bin .. that determines how the check stock is pulled into the printer.. and YES, it IS DEFINITELY easy to connect your your network, and iPhone, and iPad , laptop, desk top.. no problem
