A Non-Ugly OtterBox Case
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, a clear and simple OtterBox case this is not made to look so utilitarian that you don’t want to buy it. This case is minimal compared to the others, but it seems sturdy and well made. I have been using it for about a month and I recommend it.

Happy I Bought It
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I debated about buying this wireless charging pad, but I have found it does come in handy at times. It works well, so I have no complaints about its performance. Just know that this charger has to be plugged in for it to work, so it’s not truly wireless, is it? The “wireless” designation refers to the fact that you don’t need to use your lightning cable for charging. I think it may be overpriced, but after reading the reviews of the Belkin product, I decided to go with the Mophie, which I have found to be a reliable brand.

I love this band! It is so pretty, classy and comfortable. I have bought several of these Kate Spade bands in different designs and love them all. It is a bit pricey, but the quality makes up for that.

Clean more dishes in less time. This Bosch dishwasher lets you change rack positions until everything fits with its 3 rack organization system. Plus, front controls let you set cycles and select options easily, like Speed 60, Five-Level Wash, and Extra Dry.

A Great Choice
on December 2, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had originally purchased a different Bosch model in the 800 series. Had I been able to see this one in store prior to purchase of the 800 series model, I would definitely have ordered this one. The options panel part below the recessed handle is push button, which, to me, will be much more reliable in the long term than a sensor panel would have been.
I have only been using it for 10 days, but I am really pleased with the results. I have even washed good china and crystal in this dishwasher, and the results were stunning. There was no dulling of the platinum parts of either china or crystal. The Extra Dry option ensures that a load will be completely dry upon removal. This model is also very quiet.

This Bosch dishwasher leaves dishes sparkling clean, offers more ways to organize each load, and detects and prevents leaks. Plus, the child lock keeps kids out of harm’s way, so they can’t get into the dishwasher or accidentally start a cycle.

Wasn’t For Me
on December 2, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased and then returned this model to exchange for a different model that was $135 less. This is not worth the few upgrades between the two, but the primary reason I returned it is that the settings pad is sensor, not push button. One of the options, namely Start, was hard to get to operate. Kind of important to using the dishwasher! It went back 9 days after installation for a similar unit in the 300 series. Had I been able to actually see this unit on display in the store, I would never have purchased it. I am much happier with the 300 unit I exchanged it for, and I will review that appliance separately.

Very Pleased So Far
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this refrigerator online (something I have never done) and then visited a store to be sure I had made the right choice. I was impressed and I got a good 4th of July sale price on this unit, which really helped.
I have now had the refrigerator almost a month and I am very pleased thus far. This model has a door-in-door feature to allow items which are used often to be removed using only the outer door on the right side. This was an appealing feature to me. I also like the fact that it has 2 separate ice makers--one in the left side door and one in the freezer compartment in the upper level left side. They work independently of each other, so turning the ice on via the left front door panel will only active the in-door ice maker. This refrigerator makes a lot of ice, so if that is a need, this should really work well for you. There is ample freezer space and the refrigerator has 4 interior adjustable shelves, 3 fruit and vegetable bins, and a deli drawer below that. It is well organized.

Because it's made from a custom high-performance fluoroelastomer, the Sport Band is durable and strong, yet surprisingly soft. The smooth, dense material drapes elegantly across your wrist and feels comfortable next to your skin. An innovative pin-and-tuck closure ensures a clean fit. Available in white, blue, green, pink, and black.Bands fit 130-200mm wrists.

Apple Sport Band

Although pricier, I have found the Apple Sport Bands are consistently reliable. I have tried cheaper alternatives with poor results, so buyer beware. I like these bands for their comfort and ease of use.

They Sound Great, but ...
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was hesitant to order these, but every review I read was so positive that I put aside my concerns and decided to go for it. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that I haven't used them very much yet and not under a true test of whether they will stay in. As expensive as they are, I am concerned about losing one. I wish I had thought about the consequences prior to ordering, because there is no Apple Care available for these. Lose one, and there is a charge of $69 to replace it. My ear canals are different sizes, and only time will tell if they both fit well enough to prevent loss. There is no accessory included with the air pods to improve the snugness of the fit.
In summary, I would recommend them based on ease of pairing and clarity of sound. I still have concerns about losing one, but hope not to experience that.

Great Hand Vac
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish I had purchased this Shark Pet Perfect 2 hand vac last year and not wasted my money on a cheaper, less powerful model from another maker that has failed after less than a year. This vac can be wall mounted for charging or just plugged into a wall outlet. Included with it are a motorized pet hair brush and tools for crevice cleaning. It is very powerful compared to others I have used in the past. The filter is easily removed and cleaned after use. It does a great job of vacuuming the car, plus it does a more than decent job of removing pet hair from furniture and upholstery (hence the name).i am so glad I made this purchase and I look forward to much reliable use of this product. Seems well made and built to last. Highly recommended!!

Comfortable Band
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: GranC
from Lawrenceville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like the pin and tuck closure of the Apple Sport Bands. The band is comfortable and does not move or slip during wearing. I have tried third party bands which cost less, but they are not the same quality as these.
I hate that these bands cost $49 but you do "get what you pay for", as the saying goes. I just wish Apple still produced some of the original colors which are no longer available.

Does anyone know if there’s a replacement for the cable/wall adapter. Mine broke quite shortly after buying it and I can’t find the cable elsewhere.

Probably Mophie would have a replacement.

Am I the only one who finds the controls complicated? Starting the machine requires 4 or 5 steps. I When it’s done you have to turn power off manually (really). You have to hit off to turn off lighted display every time.

Please read the manual that came with the dishwasher. You can preset your preferences to save time on some of those steps.

can i wash my fine china in the bosch-300 series? it does not seem to have a fine china setting

It does not have a Delicate or China setting, but I have washed both fine china and crystal on the Auto setting (without the Extra Dry setting) and the results were great! I do not know what long term washing of delicate items would produce, but I am happy with the 3 loads I have done which included china and crystal.

Keep your iPhone 5, 5s or SE charged with this mophie battery case. It boosts the battery life by up to 100 percent, and it comes with a microUSB cable for charging both the case and phone simultaneously. This mophie battery case protects against everyday damage, and it has integrated buttons for unimpeded access to all phone features.
 

While my iPhone 5 and Mophie Air Red are attached and charging, does the slider switch on the back of the charging pack have to be ON or OFF?

I have read the reviews and understand which side of the slider switch is "on" or "off" but I am unclear if during the charging process if the slider switch should be "on" or "off". Sorry if this is a silly question.
I don't think it matters if the switch is on or off. I think if it's on,
it just means that the power is being slightly drained while you
are charging the case. To preserve the case's reserve power, slide
the switch to the "off" position while charging. You may want to email
Mophie tech support to be sure of my answer.
