All set for two years

Verified Purchase:Yes
The air purifier itself came with filters that should last a year. These replacement filters were on sale, so I bought them. They will last for another year. So I am good to go on filters for two years.
I am hopeful that the combination of this purifier, a new humidifier, and frequent doses of saline nasal spray, will improve my ability to breathe through my nose at night and get more sleep. Fingers crossed!

Seems to be just fine

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this unit as it was rated as one of the best, if not the best, at removing allergens. I have trouble breathing through my nose at night. I had hoped that this unit might provide some relief. I don't know that my breathing is any better. But the unit seems to work well. It is easy to set up and easy to clean the pre-filter. It may not be the miracle I was hoping for, but again, it seems to be doing its job.

Poor 3D Quality
on September 10, 2017
Posted by: strainteam
from Brookhaven, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have seven pairs of 3D glasses. Tried all seven pairs to watch this movie -and yes, all seven were charged. Unfortunately, the 3D effects just did not seem to function. In addition, the picture was blurry. Ended up watching it in 2D. At least the picture was clear this way. As for the movie itself: interesting idea. Lots of recognizable actors (which surprised me). Neat camera angles which probably would have translated well to 3D if it had worked! There was one particular scene that was a bit strange. You'll know what I mean if you watch. All in all, the film is worth watching. But, if you purchase the 3D Blu-Ray, you are rolling the dice.

Good 3D Fun
on August 19, 2017
Posted by: strainteam

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a Best Buy reward certificate to spend, so I thought I'd look for some cheap 3D Blu-Rays. I found three, and Bait was one of them. I have no recollection of this film ever being in theaters. But for the price, it was worth a try. Well, the story was actually pretty good. Most of the acting was pretty good, too. The 3D effects were passable, especially considering that the film probably had a very low budget. All in all, it was a fun watch and definitely worth the purchase. If you don't expect too much, I think you'll be pleased.

Gets the job done
on June 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say? Buying printer ink is not fun. But, it has to be done. I don't print as often as I used to, but I still do print at times. This toner cartridge is super easy to install, and the print quality is fine. No cartridge ever lasts as long - or is as inexpensive - as I would like, but I probably have unrealistic (old-fashioned) expectations. I have purchased cheaper "generic" versions in the past, but the actual Canon replacement cartridges do appear to last longer. Stick with the real thing.

Good Quality 3D Effects
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: strainteam
from Brookhaven, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife had pre-ordered this item for me on Amazon. But after several delays, Amazon finally cancelled the order, saying that they would not be able to offer this item. So, I ordered it myself from Best Buy. I picked it up in-store on the day I ordered it. I had already seen the film in 3D IMAX, so I knew liked it. But I really like to watch 3D movies on my own TV at home. We just watched it last night. Loved the 3D effects on my TV. Good quality. The Marvel movies are typically very good in this regard. Clearly, they spare no expense on their effects budgets. If you like Marvel, if you like 3D, or if you just want a good, fun, action & adventure movie, check out Dr. Strange.

Better than my old model
on April 15, 2017
Posted by: strainteam
from Brookhaven, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this unit to replace an older Sony 3D receiver. Although my old one still worked, the sound would sporadically kick out for a second, usually associated with flipping a switch (light, fan, etc.) somewhere in the house. I tried using other electrical outlets, as well as a good quality surge suppressor. But the issue continued. So, I hoped that buying a new, more expensive receiver would do the trick.
This new receiver was more expensive than my old one, but admittedly, not the most expensive. It was easy to install, and the automatic calibration was handy. The sound is good, and the frequency of the sound interruptions has decreased. But unfortunately, they do still occur. I tried looking for answers on the Sony website, but could not find any mention of an issue similar to mine.
Bottom line: my situation is a bit better, but still not ideal.

Works well, just be careful with setup

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this Blu-Ray player for my parents. All of my home theater components are Sony. My parents have a Panasonic TV. But I still went with the Sony Blu-Ray player. Even though the TV is not a Sony, the two units work well together. Turning on the Blu-Ray player causes the TV to automatically switch to the Blu-Ray player input, which is great. I wasn't sure that would happen with a Panasonic. The only issue is that you must be careful when setting up. There is a very specific order to be followed when connecting and turning on for the first time. Initially, my setup was unsuccessful - there was a picture but no sound. Make sure the device initializes when you first turn it on. If it doesn't, then turn it off and go through the steps again, making sure to follow the proper sequence.

Great Machine

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this machine. I like the large screen. I like the backlit keyboard. I like that I can use it as either a laptop or a tablet. I am admittedly an old school desktop guy. I thought I would like this 2-in-1 for checking fantasy football scores during the season. But, I am actually using it for much more than that. And, I'm alternating between using the laptop setup and the tablet setup. This machine was easy to setup - and is easy to use. The memory is more than adequate, and the speed is fine. No complaints. Highly recommended!

Good System for the Money
on October 17, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
My main complaint is that I could not use the HDMI hook-up, as the HDMI jack in my TV was not an "Arc" HDMI. Thankfully, this unit came with an optical cable included, so I used the optical hook-up. The sound is good. Not booming, but good. I like that there is a separate, powered subwoofer. This system was actually a good fit for the TV in our bedroom, which is why I bought it. I don't think it would be strong enough to use in our living room. We have a full surround sound system there.
