Great fan overall, high should be stronger

We love vornado fans. We have three in the house now including this model.
We had two of the old vornado fans with a curved metal tube used as the stand. Frustrating because they tipped over easy. Glad to see they ditched that design. This fan is stable but I wish the base was solid or heavier. This base is assembled from multiple plastic pieces so it can only be so stable. Maybe that is why they made the actual fan too small. It really needs to be bigger but it isn't. The old model pushed more air. Still a great fan. The front guard and fan blade are easy to remove for cleaning.

Memory cards I can trust

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I got my Galaxy S5 I bought one of the 128GB cards and it worked perfectly for years. I've used other brands in the past but anymore I read so many reviews about counterfeit memory cards -even from reputable online vendors. I feel very confident getting these Samsung cards directly from BestBuy. Great price and performance with no risk of getting a counterfeit.
I have been using a 2nd 128GB card in my Galaxy Tab S2 with no problems for the last 6 months so when I recently bought a 2nd generation Amazon Fire TV of course I picked up a 3rd 128GB card.
Given the excellent experience with the 128GB cards, I purchased this 64GB card for my Mom's phone. It has been working great and considering her usage she will never run out of space. I really don't have any reason to risk trying another brand. I'll just stick with what I know works. You can't beat the price either.

Doom! What is not to like?
on December 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Reviews that complain about lack of depth or no story crack me up. Demons. On. Mars. It shouldn't be made into something else -buy another game if you want "depth". I played original Doom once it was ported to Mac back in '94 and I have Doom3 for windows. This copy is the first time I have played Doom on a console. I die a lot, but I still have fun.
My 13 year old son is much better at FPS games and plays quite a few different titles on our PS4. He was surprised by how much fun he has playing Doom. He wasn't expecting the graphics to be as good as they are and he likes the pace of the action.
I'm glad I waited and bought the title on sale.

Great way to hear music all over the house

I'm very happy with these Chromecast Audio units. I have two of them along with a Google Home. We use them on the first floor of our condo to cast music from the Google home as well as from our phones and tablets.
You can place several of these units along with the Google Home into groups making it very easy to cast music exactly where you want.
It is extremely easy to setup these units using the recently renamed Google Home App on your iOS/Android phone or tablet. They support older RCA, 3.5mm and Optical connections to your sound system or powered speakers. It is easy to power the units since they use a common 5V, 1A USB power supply. You can also enable the "Full dynamic range" option in the device settings when you have it connected to high end sound systems.
Years ago I used several of the older small AirPort Express units to send audio around the house. They were great units but a bit overkill and expensive to use just for streaming music. Our devices and living room audio setup changed several years ago and the AirPort Express units were all unplugged. I switched to using Bluetooth on the living room surround system along with an Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. Bluetooth has one advantage over WiFi streaming but several disadvantages.
When we picked up the new Google Home I ran out and bought two of these Chromecast Audio units and it is great streaming music over WiFi again. Of course we still have the option of using bluetooth, best of both worlds.

The barren landscape stretches out before you, seemingly unending with no signs of life and no relief from the relentless sun. As you navigate your battering ram of a vehicle over the remnants of a long-abandoned highway, you contemplate this existence you call life. There is no mercy in this post-apocalyptic world and no solace — only the instinctual quest for survival and the cold comfort that is vengeance. You've become a lone warrior, a reluctant hero, but only because your choices were that or death. The only thing that gives you any hope is the thought of leaving this madness behind and finding peace at last in the storied Plains of Silence. You are Mad Max, and these are the end of times.Embark on a dangerous journey through the Wasteland that is this post-apocalyptic world on a quest to retrieve your Interceptor, which has been stolen by a deadly gang of marauders. Take on each foe with brutal moves and combos that are your only chance of beating the deranged bandits of the Wasteland. Scavenge the landscape for the scraps you need to craft and upgrade equipment, vehicles and weapons — your lifelines in this unforgiving setting. With the ability to construct the ultimate war vehicle by choosing from dozens of customizable parts and upgrade combinations and arming your vehicle with a slew of deadly weapons, you can annihilate enemy vehicles in dynamic, physics-based vehicular combat. As you explore the vast, open-world environment of the Wasteland, take on unique missions and side quests, eliminate eccentric bandits and battle savage gangs. There's only one thing to live for now — revenge.

Great game, love the freedom to drive everywhere

My son and I really like this game. I played just this one game for two weeks after release. It was the first time I preordered a game and took a chance not knowing what the game would be like. I was not disappointed. I am very close to completing the game. Once I have it beat I will start over again and upgrade Max and the car as little as possible. This will make the game much more challenging since I already know what to expect and once the car and Max are fully upgraded there is very little that stands in his way.

Great upgrade for my Galaxy S5

Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from a Galaxy Avant to the S5 and could not wait to have double the SD capacity. It was great to have BestBuy price match the card against another store because I wanted the cheaper price but also wanted the peace of mind of buying from a local reputable store. There is a major problem out there with knock-off fake memory cards that corrupt data or fail. Another problem is smaller capacity cards sold as higher capacity. The fakes are so good anymore you can't tell by looking at the card or the packaging. Fortunately this card really is 128GB, works fine and I got it for the best price around.

Great guide for minecraft

We were in the store to get a screen protector and case for my smart phone and my wife found this book. She thought our son would enjoy having this guide since he likes Minecraft so much. He is always looking up youtube videos to discover new things to make in Minecraft. He laughed at first when we brought the book home because I think he assumed he already knew everything. Fortunately he has been learning new tricks from the book.

I put ZAGG InvisibleShields on all my devices

I have been using Zagg InvisibleShields for years. I can't imagine having a iPod or smart phone without the screen protected by Zagg. I finally upgraded to a smart phone and within an hour after activating my Galaxy S5 I had the screen protected by the InvisibleShield Glass. My older devices have the original protector because that was all there was at the time. The Glass is so smooth -just like Glass. It is so much nicer than the original shield, you can't even tell it is on the screen.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future, combat has become a big business.

I really like the futuristic theme of this COD title. I played the first few COD titles on PC but never owned a console except the original WII and our new PS4. My son and I enjoy killing zombies. That was the first thing I did when I popped in the disc. I had to kill some Zeds before even thinking about playing campaign.

Will this work with Surface Pro 3

The Surface Pro 3 microSDXC card reader will read up to 128GB cards so you should be good to go.
