This one has what we want and need!

Verified Purchase:Yes
We have Karma with microwaves. We got one that we thought was 'IT' only to have is rumble then turn into a roar.
This one has the little things we count on. White outside and inside. Inside because white is much easier to see in than the now popular gray. The light turns on as soon as you open the door. I do a lot of things without turning the lights on and with the door open I have plenty of light to make coffee or eggs or whatever. The light is on while the micro is running. Many glass fronts are so dark you can't see through. I have to watch certain foods or they over flow or melt too much. I'm not a great cook so I often watch.
We both count on and love this baby. One touch buttons. Reheat button. etc.

Broadway's celebratory musical about rejection makes it to the screen in a fizzless adaptation by Richard Attenborough that misses the whole point of the Broadway show -- i.e. the dancing and the dancers. Instead, the dancers become a limp Greek chorus for the dead love affair between a choreographer, Zach (a pre-Gordon Gekko Michael Douglas) and his old flame, the star dancer Cassie (Alyson Reed). Zach is holding try-outs for a new Broadway musical and, as armies of dancers are brought on stage to audition for Zach, he sits in the darkened recesses of the theater, puffing on a cigarette, as he winnows out hopeful dancers who want to become part of the chorus line for Zach's new show. Finally, Zach has reduced the dancers to 16 men and women, and he asks each of them to step to the footlights and tell him about their lives and their dreams. But backstage, while the dancers are confessing their pasts to Zach, Zach's past walks through the stage door. Sheila, Zach's ex-lover, whom Zach met, courted and broke up with in the theatrical environs, has returned. Once a big star, Sheila has returned to the theater -- not to see Zach but to audition for Zach's musical. She needs the work.

I've looked for A Chorus Line years. First when it was a video. This time I was looking for a DVD. Found it in a couple of places but Best Buy is my location of choice.
I loved watching it again after so many years. It was such a pleasure.
I was a dancer of a different sort and love watching choreography and music. Thank you for such bliss.

2nd Samsung TV
on December 2, 2017
Posted by: PollyMary

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nothing wrong with our first Samsung TV which is a 42” other than my fluctuating vision which has me getting up to 4’ away so I can read text. We’ll donate it to someone less fortunate.
I didn’t even look at other brands. Did all that online research and in store research for our first Samsung.
Both my husband and I are thrilled with our new TV. He doesn’t have to read any TV script for me and I don’t have have to quickly move up to read for myself.
The new improvement I like best is that this one doesn’t have the loud on/off sound.
We love our new Samsung Tv!!

Keeps my WD TB safe

I like to protect my external hard drives and flash drives. A firm case does the trick. I’m also less likely to lose my drive.
I do wish there was a color choice for visibility.
A lot of people will like the elastic ‘hinges’ that keep the case from flopping fully open. Personally I plan to cut them off so I can open it to lay flat.

For major microwave cook
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: PollyMary
from Gastonia, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
An agent looked on line for a microwave that had some simple requirements. White interior & exterior, a light that turned on when the door was open and when it was cooking. A 30second increment option. Some preprogrammed buttons.
She told us they had one in store. We wanted to open the box to plug it in and check them light. Nope. If we didn't take it it would have to be sold as an open box. Understand.
Got it home and couldn't wait to use it. No key pad on the outside !!? We have advanced degrees but couldn't even figure out how to set the time much less do anything else.
It was an easy return. The head of appliances happened to be there. He chuckled and said it was more for professional cooks. I asked if he knew how to use it. Yes...... and no.
We found just what we were looking for in another store and were able to check it out.
We love Best Buy and do as much as we can with them. They ordered it, price matched, let us open to be sure everything was perfect. We're very happy.

We didn't research this online. We found one in a different store. We read the booklet that came with it (not available in most displays).
They plugged it in to see if it had a couple of features that never seem to be in the instructions. Happy Happy.
We returned to Best Buy because we trust them. They could order it AND price match which saved us $20.
The only con is that it's louder than others we've had. Everything else is what we were looking for.

It's a necessity

I wish new iPhones still had an earbud port, however, it doesn't so live with it. It works.
After reading reviews of off brand I would say you should stay with Apple.
I don't like the cost but I purchased several extras. I never had the attachment when I wanted it. I have several sets of earbuds and just leave an adaptor attached. I have a set in my end table, bed table, overnight bag.... you get the idea.
Still, Apple should not have done that to us. $$$ in their pocket.

Sometimes you want to use your apple device while charging.
Sometimes the outlet is too far away. You can really wreck your body torquing to get close to an outlet.
This 6' cord gives you the comfort of charging and using. Thank goodness!!!!

The standard 3' iPhone charger cord works fine but I find the long cord can get in the way.
This 6" is perfect for setting charger and phone side by side. In limited space I flip the phone to stack on top of the charger.

My husband has a 12000. I loved it when he was wilderness camping. He was available if I had an emergency.
I wanted one!! Mine was on sale and holds more charges. I often use it versus plugging into an outlet when I know I'm going to be moving from room to room and don't want to interrupt a charge cycle.
I've also used it to keep my phone near me when I'm not near an outlet. I think it may charge faster but I haven't timed it.
I have an iPhone. To charge my kindle I got a cord for an android (?) and that works great. Happy camper.

LG High-Efficiency Washer: Toss clothes in the wash, select 1 of 8 cycles and 5 temperature settings via touch-screen controls and make fast work of laundry. Use the delicates cycle to wash sensitive items and the quick-wash cycle when you're short on time.
 

What is the IMEF and IWF?

Sorry that I'm tired and am taking the short way out. I googled the letters, then googled the full words. In short, it's a measure of energy use that is used to determine Energy Star rating. The higher the number the better the rating. I still suggest you google and read it for yourself. The brand doesn't matter. The meaning is the same... unless you want to know the specific rating for your Energy Star appliance.

Good luck :)

Can one turn sound on/off?

Unfortunately no. No volume adjustment either. Interesting since my first micro (back in the dark ages) had that feature.

To cook for one minute, can you press the TIME then START?

I'm looking for an easy-to-use replacement microwave for a neighbor and I want to make sure it operates the same as her old one.
On this microwave, will it cook for ONE MINUTE if you enter
6-0-START
or
1-0-0-START?
Thanks.
Just push Start for 30seconds and continue to desired time. You can ever add 30seconds at any time during the heating/cooking

Online description for this microwave states that the turntable is 14 inches in diameter. One of the reviews of this microwave says that the diameter is 11 inches. Can someone confirm the size of the turntable of this model?

Please tell me the *interior* dimensions of this. I know that the total capacity is 1.4 cu ft, but I need to know how tall, deep, and wide the interior is so I can figure out just how big a dish I can fit in there. Thanks.

Turntable to lowest bump in the top is 9.5"
Width from narrowest points is 13"
Depth is 15"
Turntable is 12"

That's to the best of my measuring skills.

This Insignia™ NS-F4T7-BK mini fan features a 360° tilt head, so you can choose the direction of the airflow and keep your bedroom or office cool. The low-volume operation helps minimize background noise.
 

Is the fan cord for an electrical outlet or USB?

Plug for a regular outlet. Cord is quite reasonable.
