Great product!

I'm so glad I got the AirPods! They are incredibly easy to use, stay in my ears and provide clear sound for phone calls and music. I was worried the sound quality might be similar to the stock, wired earbuds that came with the iPhone, which are okay, but nothing great. But, the AirPods are loads better! Plus, the charging case is terrific in its implementaton. The case holds a charge for a long time, allowing for freedom in being able to make sure the AirPods are always charged or easily charging while on the go. I recommend this product.

Outstanding watch!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I own four smartwatches, the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier being the latest addition. I am so pleased with this watch. The design is not only attractive, but also very functional. The rotating bezel navigation is intuitive and easy to use, with just the right amount of tactile feedback. I find no lag in the functioning of the Tizen OS. As much as I love my Android Wear watch, I do have to say that the lack of lag in the Tizen OS is better. I have this watch paired with my Nexus 6p phone, and it works great with this phone, including the Samsung Pay. Samsung Pay on the watch is easy to use and so convenient. After considering several watches as the next addition, and as my main watch, I am very happy with my decision to go with the Gear S3. Oh, and there's no need to be put off by the size. Sure, it's not small, but larger watches seem to be plentiful these days. And, it looks great on my wrist. (I am a woman with small wrists, even for a woman.) I even tried on the Gear S2, which is smaller, and my husband and I both agreed the large S3 looked better.

Does what it's supposed to do nicely

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for my husband who was on the fence about a smartwatch. He's not particularly tech savvy, but this watch has proved to be easy to use for him. He finds the screen easy to read, the battery life lasting about three days and the notifications reliable and helpful. I paired it with his Android phone the night we got it, and it's been stably paired since. Although there are fancier smartwathes available, this Pebble is a great choice for someone who wants simplicity and ease at a good price.

The installation team that installed my new oven and microwave did an excellent job. I couldn't be happier with them. The were friendly, professional and it was obvious that the team lead was very experienced with handing a variety on install projects. They were careful to protect my flooring, walls and other appliances. They cleaned up during and after the installation. The clearly explained everything they were doing. Afterwards, they verified everything was working correctly and made sure I understood how to use my new products. They provided an excellent experience that left me feeling confident.

This 5.8 cu. ft. large capacity oven allows you to cook multiple dishes at once. Two oven racks let you prepare enough food for large gatherings. Cook food faster and more evenly with a heated fan system that is great for baking and broiling.

I've had this oven for about a month now, and it has been great. I love how it looks in my kitchen. The dark stainless is beautiful. The stove burners are powerful and provide evenly dispersed heating. The oven heats up quickly, broils fast and bakes quite nicely. The unit has a lot of nice features, such as the fifth burner with center grill, easy self cleaning, timed cooking with self shut off and easy to use controls. After looking at several models, I am happy I chose this Samsung.

5 out of 5 due to value for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using this phone daily for about a month now. The Nexus 6p may not have every bell and whistle that comes with some flagship devices, but this is an excellent phone with a fantastic price. Google and Huawei have done a great job bringing a quality flagship to market that holds true to Google's reasonable pricing for its Nexus line. The design, in my view, is quite lovely. The metal unibody looks sleek and stylish. The tiny camera hump is by no means a drawback. Quite honestly, it's hardly that noticeable. I was concerned before seeing it in person because of the hoopla over "the hump," but, as is often the case, that hoopla turned out to be overblown nonsense, in my opinion. The phone looks great. The fingerprint scanner is responsive, accurate and perfectly placed for easy unlocking of the device. Regarding software, stock Android keeps things clean on that end. I'm really enjoying that. I also love the regular security updates from Google that are often delayed or non-existent on other devices. Call quality with my T-Mobile service has been great. Speediness and smoothness of the OS have also been terrific. This phone gives me all I need at an great price. After researching several phones, I'm glad I landed on this one.

Great phone for the money
on May 7, 2016
Posted by: Labby
Verified Purchase:Yes
This phone replaced my husband's older, smaller phone. He had noticed it in the store a few times due to its attractive design, and I finally convinced him to buy it. (He is frugal and didn't feel he really needed a new phone.). In the end, he is very happy with the phone. I have used it, as well, and find it to be responsive, bright and easy to use. The near stock Android experienced, in conjunction with the nice Moto extras, is a breath of fresh air. The phone also has good call quality and works with most carriers. The look and feel of the phone are great. The screen is bright, crisp and has good colors. The physical design, with the curved, textured back, make the phone easy to hold and harder to drop. I don't think you can go wrong with this phone and its nice specs for the money. It's a great value.

Great picture, good value

I am quite impressed with the picture quality on this Insignia TV. I purchased for use in the garage due to the low price, 1080p resolution and good appearance in the store. I've been very happy with how nice the picture looks for such a low priced TV. The sound is okay, but not great. It could be a little louder. However, I find mediocre sound seems to be the case with most TVs. The remote is adequate for a TV of this class. The set up is easy, and the tuner picks up lots of channels if you are using antenna, as I am in the garage.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

I've had my eye on the Echo for a few months now. I didn't realize Best Buy had got them in stock until I was discussing with the sales person. I decided to give it a try. Set up was so easy. The voice recognition has been excellent. Alexa hears and appropriately responds to all of my requests, as well as my husband's. It really comes in handy in the mornings, as I can request news and entertainment while getting ready for the day. I can review my daily schedule, adjust it, make lists and so much more.
Integration with IFTTT works great. The amount of easily available content is wonderful. While I don't have any smart devices such as lights or thermostats yet, I am planning for them, and will be able to use the Echo to control them.

Smart security you can trust. See who’s at the door and monitor your home when you’re not there with this video doorbell. The 2-way audio lets you listen and talk to anyone on your property, right from your mobile device. Plus, you can easily recharge the battery with the included power pack.
 

Does this work if I also buy the ring chime pro, since this house doesn't have a doorbell? And could I buy 2 for different doors? I am more looking at a simple way to install a doorbell. Battery run. I see ring has a few, recommendations?

The Ring 2 will work with the Ring Chime or Chime Pro ( Pro includes WiFi extender,). Two of my friends use it with the Chime since the do not have available doorbell wiring in their homes. You can install two Ring doorbells in your house. They will both show up in the app. Just make sure you don’t choose the Ring Doorbell Pro, as it only has a hardwire install option, which won’t work if you don’t have existing doorbell wiring.

Check the weather before you even get out of bed with Echo Spot, which is compatible with Alexa and pairs easily with Bluetooth-enabled phones. The small design fits easily on an end or bedside table, letting you send quick video snaps or play your favorite tunes. Use Echo Spot to call friends without having to fumble for your phone.
 

Can I give it 4 weeks of my work schedule and ask “what do I work today?” If I set and alarm for the morning can I just talk to turn it off? I hate rolling around to push a button

You can connect a calendar to it to, I have my Google calendar connected and can ask Alexa what is on my calendar for today or a future date, for example. She will verbally respond with my schedule items. The Echo Spot (like the Show,) also visually displays upcoming items from the calendar.

Regarding the alarm, yes, you can stop the alarm by voice. I just say, “Alexa, stop” and the alarm stops until the next scheduled alarm.

Explore different moods with this four-pack of Philips Hue A19 bulbs. They're customizable to any glow intensity through the accompanying app, letting you set the atmosphere for a chill evening meal or an upbeat weekend party. Control these Philips Hue A19 bulbs remotely to light your home when you're away.
 

Can you control the lights with a smart phone if you are out of your wifi network?

Yes. In the Hue app, sign in to your Phillips Hue account (or create one if you don’t already have one) and link your bridge. Alternately, if you end up purchasing a hub such as Wink or SmartThings to increase your home automation capabilities, you can remotely control your Hue lights through the hub.

Did anyone upgrade to the S3 from the Gear Fit2? Did you miss anything? is the extra money worth spending? I understand a lot of this is personal, but would love to hear your thoughts... I love my Fit2, but the S3 looks very nice...

I actually own both. Since getting the Gear S3, I don't really use the Gear Fit2 so much. The added functionality (including Samsung Pay) along with the beautiful and functional design make it an excellent daily driver. I am more than pleased with my purchase of the Gear S3.

Does amazon echo products work with iTunes.

Would Alexa play my music that is already on my iPhone or iPad?Or is it just amazon prime music that I have to buy?
Alexa will play music from services such as Pandora, IHeartRadio, Spotify and other Internet radio services, all via WiFi, as well as music stored on my phone via Bluetooth. I have an Android phone. While I'm uncertain of itunes compatibility, you do have options other than Amazon music.

Asus ZenWatch 2 Smartwatch: Head out on the town worry-free with this smartwatch, which features a 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lens cover and water-resistant construction for a sturdy design. The quad-core Qualcomm processor provides fast and efficient performance as you set and work towards your fitness goals.
 

does the watch go blank when out of bluetooth range?

It does not go blank. Your notifications, emails, etc. won't come through, but will start up again as soon as you're in range. I get out of range on occasion at work. While I can go through most of the building and maintain a connection, sometimes I will get out of range. The watch still responds to taps/gestures and shows time. I just don't get the notifications.

whats the best 32 inch tv for a travel trailer
I have a 32" Samsung 720p television that I use as a spare and as a computer monitor. It has a nice picture and good colors.The 720p resolution is fine for those purposes. Since this sounds as if it's going to be your only TV, and it's likely going in a smaller area (travel trailer,) you may want to look at a 1080p model if you're going 32". I consider 32" the cut off point at which, depending on the circumstances, the extra dollars for 1080p may be the right option. I was in Best Buy this weekend and saw some good sales on 1080p 32" TVs from different manufacturers, including Samsung and the store's Insignia brand. The sale prices were down to what the 720p models were a few months ago.

samsung panel

does this tv from BB have a TS01 panel? Is this the best panel for this tv?
My JS8500 has the TH01 panel. I've not seen any of these with a different panel on them at this time. I belong to a forum and no one there has noted a different panel on their JS8500 televisions, either.
