Essential Travel Companion
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Used this without any problems during a recent trip to New Zealand and Australia. It's easy to use and the included USB ports make it simple to charge phones/tablets while using the adapter. The adapter is rather large, and it was sometimes hard to plug it into hard-to-reach power outlets. Other than that, this is great. Highly recommended!

Perfect for Gigabit Cable Service
on May 3, 2018
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently upgraded to gigabit speeds through my cable provider and needed a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. The SB8200 works perfectly and consistently delivers top speeds. I appreciate the fact that the modem has dual ethernet outputs to support future speed increases. My only gripe is that this modem is not easily available in a black color. Otherwise, highly recommended!

The Essential Workout Headphones
on March 13, 2018
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
After trying several pairs of sport-oriented headphones, I've finally found "the one" - The Bose SoundSport Free headphones are my go-to pair of headphones for running and workouts.
PROS:
- Comfortable, lightweight, and secure fit. Three sizes of ear tips included. They have never fallen out during runs or workouts and I hardly notice them in my ears.
- Excellent, balanced sound with just the right amount of bass. If you enjoy the audio quality of any other Bose product, you'll feel right at home with these.
- Long battery life - over 15 hours when you include the charging case.
- Great Bluetooth range. I can set my phone on one side of the gym, move 30 feet away to the other side, and never lose connection. I've read other reviews of users reporting drop-outs in the left ear bud, but that has never happened to me.
- First-rate customer service and support from Bose. They have released several firmware updates for these headphones in the past few months that have only made them better.
CONS:
- There is a slight audio delay when watching video on your phone or tablet. However, I use these headphones for workouts, not to watch movies and YouTube videos, so it's not a problem for me.
- When taking phone calls, audio only comes through the right ear bud. A minor annoyance, but again - I'm not spending much time on the phone during workouts.
Highly recommended!

Perfect Size - Perfect Design
on February 15, 2018
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a new freezer for my utility room, but struggled to find one with a smaller footprint and modern design. This Insignia freezer fits the bill perfectly. If you're in need of an extra freezer or refrigerator to store food, give this one a look.
PROS:
- Perfect size to serve as an extra freezer for food storage.
- I love that the temperature can be easily adjusted via the display on the front or through an app. It can even be converted to a refrigerator which is extremely convenient.
- Four rows of glass shelving and a drawer offer ample space for food storage.
- Bright lighting makes it easy to see when the door is open.
- Beautiful stainless steel finish, which is almost impossible to find in a freezer this size.
- Perfect delivery and haul-away service by Best Buy.
CONS:
- None!

Quiet Operation; Perfectly Clean Dishes
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from a 13 year-old dishwasher that I thought was relatively quiet. After running this dishwasher for a few weeks, I can safely say that this is the quietest dishwasher I've ever used. I love the layout of both racks - it's super easy to load dishes. The 3rd rack on the top easily fits large pans and serving plates. There is a small red light that shines down on the floor so you know when your dishes are clean and dry. Highly recommended!

Great Coverage; Excellent Value
on September 12, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
from Phoenix, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this as a gift for a friend with a large, awkwardly-shaped apartment. After 5 minutes of set-up, there were no more dead zones anywhere - the whole 2,000 sq. ft. apartment was covered with a strong Wi-Fi signal. Google Wifi might not be as powerful as more expensive options, but it's a great value and will meet the needs of the majority of households. Highly recommended!

Wear your activity tracker to a dressy occasion with this Fitbit Flex 2 bangle. The small size fits wrist sizes between 5.5 inches and 6.7 inches in circumference, and the 22K gold plating adds elegant style. This Fitbit Flex 2 bangle is good for wear during light exercise or workout-free days when you simply want to track your steps.

Beautiful, but hard to take off
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my mother for her birthday as she wanted to be able to wear her Fitbit to work without the "rubber-band" look on her wrist. She loves the design of this bangle, but she admitted that it's a bit hard to take it off her wrist by herself. The clasp can be difficult to open without an extra set of hands.
Otherwise, this is a great option for those seeking a dressier look for their Fitbit. Recommended!

Perfect Companion for Home Automation
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love using my full-size Echo to control my home's lights and thermostats, and I wanted to be able to do that from the bedroom without a large device on my nightstand. The Echo Dot fills that role perfectly! Its compact size allows it to fit practically anywhere and brings the Alexa experience to any room in the house.
Speaker quality isn't great, but I'm not using it to play music. However, if you want to do that, you can easily connect a speaker via auxiliary cord or Bluetooth.
Highly recommended!

Essential Peace of Mind
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I installed four Nest Protects a few months ago and have been incredibly impressed thus far.
PROS:
- Easy installation. Everything you need is included in the box. After following a few basic steps in the Nest app, you use the included mounting plate to place the unit anywhere on your ceiling or wall.
- The Pathlight is great for when you wake up late at night and don't want to turn on a light.
- After six months of use, no false alarms. When I leave something on the stove or in the oven too long, the Nest Protect has detected the excess smoke every time.
- Great integration with the Nest smartphone app. I love being able to get alerts from the Nest Protect units from anywhere in the world.
- Seemingly great battery life. After six months of use, all four of my Nest Protects still report a "good" battery level.
CONS:
- None!
The Nest Protect is well worth the price of admission, if only for the peace of mind. Highly recommended!

Can this be used in New Zealand?

Yes! I just used it on a trip to New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand use the same type of power socket.
