We have a 100+ year old house with small kitchen that we are updating. I wanted a refrigerator that was 33" or less, French doors, bottom freezer, no water dispenser and one that wasn't ridiculously expensive. This one is "it". Love the inside of the refrigerator, it is well made and stood out from other brands in this price range. Lots of storage and shelves and I love the deli drawer most of all. The freezer is very roomy and although I do not use the ice maker, love the ice bin for a bag of ice. This unit is very quiet, sleek and just plain beautiful in my newly renovated kitchen.

I purchased this TV confidentially, as I was replacing a 4+ year old 32" Insignia TV in our bedroom. We have been so pleased with our previous Insignia. We wanted a nice sized wall mount TV for our remodeled bedroom and this one seemed perfect. The price is outstanding, period. It has good color and clarity and even pretty good sound. Plenty of hook-up and looks great on our bedroom wall. We knew we were making the right choice as far as value for a bedroom TV with this Insignia TV.

I am a 62 year old grandma that has spent the last 20 years reveling in technology. So of course, I was very intrigued by this watch and finally took the plunge and purchased this model. I love the color and I think it is a fine looking piece of jewelry. Love so much about this watch - the activity tracker truly motivates me, reminding me to move more; the heart rate monitor is great, as I have heart disease and my heart rate can vary so; love how it works with my IPhone, calls and messages, Facebook and messenger alerts. I can leave the phone in my pocket on my walks and even control my music from my watch. It seems like I keep finding more and more things it is capable of. After only two weeks, I would hate to be without this watch.

The thinnest iPad ever is also the most capable. It's loaded with advanced technologies, including the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

I own the original Ipad (still going) and had the first Ipad mini. However, a year ago, the mini died and I decided not to replace it. After a year without an Ipad, I was ready for another one. I began looking six weeks ago, trying to decide which one to buy. This week, Best Buy had the mini on sale and I was torn between that and the Ipad Air 2, which was on sale elsewhere for the same price. I went into Best Buy to make my final decision and was thrilled when they price matched the competitor's ad and I was able to get the Ipad Air 2. Absolutely love it. The size is great but the speed is even better. Leaps ahead of my previous Ipad(s). I was a little hesitant about the 16GB, but having the 64 GB IPhone 6s Plus, I decided the 16 would be fine for the Ipad. I am one happy grandma with my new purchase. Love the Apple products and now know you get what you pay for and this is worth the extra money over a cheaper Android.

After buying a similar looking case online, I wasn't happy with the protection that case provided. I went to Best Buy store in order that I could look at all of the cases and find one that felt sturdy enough and also provided front protection. A clear case was a must. This one is perfect. Fits nice and snug, feels extremely durable and protects the front glass with a raised lip around the case. Perfect.

Just received this IPhone. Love the size, clarity, and the additional memory for music and photos. After a year of debating, glad I finally took the jump.

Bought this 6d kit to replace my 5d ii kit. This is lighter, easier to use, has a lot of features and produces absolutely stunning images with the 24-105mm lens. This combo is fantastic. Camera is very responsive and the lens produces great color, contrast and sharpness.

So Good, Even I Can Use It!

After much hesitancy and doubt due to size and age of this lens, I ordered it from Best Buy when they had an even lower price. Received it yesterday, took it out and immediately began taking test shots in our back yard with my 5D II. WOW! I was handholding it and got some very sharp images for my first attempts. The detail this lens picks up is absolutley amazing. The weight is easier to handle than I thought it would be, and the push-pull zoom is very intuitive and was easy to catch on from the start. So glad I got this lens and look forward to getting some fabulous shots with it.
What's great about it: The reach - sharpness - easy to handhold
What's not so great: Big - but that's not so bad!

Received this laptop today. It is great! Beautiful, crisp graphics, extremely fast and love the design. The back-end is raised for air flow underneath. I did order a laptop cooling pad, but haven't used it yet and this machine has not overheated. Love it - love Dell - Love My Dell(s)!

Canon EF-S 15–85mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens: This versatile, everyday lens with standard zoom offers a broad focus range for almost any shot. The optical image stabilizer steadies the lens for blur-free handheld photos, and the aspherical lens with UD glass corrects aberrations for sharp, vibrant landscapes and portraits.

Just received this from BB this week for my T1i. This is my first $$ lens and I did lots of researching before purchasing. I love this lens - the clarity, sharpness, contrast and colors are all up a notch over the kit lens. It is faster to focus and the little wider shots are pretty neat and the extra length will be great as a walk around lens. The IS is great -I was worried about camera shake, since this lens was much heavier than the kit lens, but actually it is easier to steady with the extra weight. I am glad I took the plunge on this lens.

Update
September 14, 2010
After having this laptop a few days now, I am happy tosay it is even better than I hoped. Video plays beautifully, sound is great, it is truly the fastest laptop I have ever used. I am running Photoshop CS4 on it, as well as PSE and both are quite zippy. The display i do love, no eye fatigue or strain. I have absolutely no buyer's remorse and I am glad I got this machine.
I have read quite a bit about the overheating, but I have yet to experience it. I so use the colling pad, and the large battery also keeps it at an angle. I think both produce a good enough air flow, so am hopeful it will not be an issue.
This is a nice machine!

By WizardX
The watch has lots of features yet the battery life is horrible. Last 14 hours and then has to be recharged. Not sure how one can use this to track activity and sleep patterns. If you're looking for an activity tracking watch I'd advise a fitbit over the Apple Watch.

Tips
October 16, 2016
I was very unhappy about the battery life as well. I googled "extend battery life Apple watch" and a couple of good tips. Turning off numerous apps that were constantly refreshing made a huge difference for me. I usually wear my watch about 10-12 hours. At first, the battery was at 10-20% at the end of the day. Now it is at 35-40%. A big difference for me.

How many hours the 9 cell battery allows without charge.
I have only had this for a few days, but the battery meter will state it can go about six hours, I think it is somewhat less. Maybe 4 or 5?
