Great Receiver
on March 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a new receiver that supported Dolby Atmos to boost my home theatre to a 7.4.1. There are very few receivers out there that have 11 amps built in and the Denon offers the best bang for the buck. I used the auto set up with Audyssey and after tweeking a few things I am extremely happy with the overall playback. Ive read and seen on youtube where people have complained about hum - I have very sensitive hearing and I get no hum out of my system at any volume. I am guessing it was fixed in one of the firmware upgrades. Also I noted another reviewer complaining about the video upscaling which doesn't make much sense. I don't know why he didn't use the hdmi pass through if he didn't like the Denon's upscaling. Bottom line is I am extremely happy thus far with the Denon.

Perfect size with lots of handles

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had an old Hoover that finally died. I loved it because it had several hand grips that allowed me to use it on the steps. Several of the new vacuums today do not have grips but like this so I was thrilled when I found this one from Hoover. So far its worked well, no problem with the tools mounting to the unit and its easy to use on the steps because of all the hand grips.

Super Quiet lots of features and a few issues
on February 26, 2016
Posted by: explore42
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife wanted Black Stainless so that limited the choices of dishwashers we could choose from. Everyone I talked to said the LG was better than Samsung so we bought this model. It is extremely quiet and does a good job cleaning the dishes. The downside is that the controls are on the upper part of the door so when you close it the display is no longer visible under the counter top. You have 4 little leds on the front to tell you what the dishwasher cycle is but that's it. My biggest gripe is the quality of the racks and spacing. The upper rack has two wider rows around three smaller rows. Bottom line is that unless you have small glasses these rows become somewhat useless. The bottom rack has tons of adjustability but the because of the way the base is made the plates automatically roll into the valleys of the rack. Because the valleys are too close it doesn't matter how you adjust the fingers the plates hit each other on the side. These are Standard size plates nothing special. Bottom line is my old Whirlpool dishwasher held more dishes but it was four times as noisy and didn't clean the dishes as well. So if you don't mind running the dishwasher a little more often due to the capacity this is a great dishwasher.

Is it only one stick of 16gb ram or two sticks of 8gb ram?

Only a Single Module. To use dual channel you will need to get a matching 16gb module or replace the existing module with a new matching pair of ddr4 ram modules. If you look at the photo you can see that its only a single 16 gb module.

Soundcore by Anker Mini 3 Pro is a perfect pocket portable bluetooth speaker! Get 360° of ear-dazzling audio squeezed into something smaller than a coffee cup. With a 15-hour battery life on a single charge and IPX7 waterproof, who says beach and pool parties can't get as wild as you want? It's your sound, your rules, so connect the Mini 3 to the Soundcore app to turn it on, off, adjust the volume, change the sound profile, and much more. A USB-C charging port is included for fast-charging with the latest technologies and Bluetooth 5.0 can keep your audio experience crystal clear with a strong connection.
 

I have the SoundCore Mini 1 and the one thing that I don't like about it is that when in bluetooth mode it turns off automatically after about 10 minutes if no audio is being streamed to it. Has this annoying power-saving feature been fixed with SC Mini 3

In the Soundcore App you can set this timer to up to 60 minutes.

Do I have to continuously refill the ink cassette or buy new ones like a regular printer?

Yes but with this printer the supplies are sold by Canon as a single item. I've been buying the Canon XS-20L which comes with 20 photo pages and a cassette that will print 20 photos.

Nugget Ice. Pellet ice. Drive-in ice. Whatever you call it, you know it's "the good ice." Now that chewable ice is available from the convenience of your countertop with the Opal 2.0 Ice Maker. It is capable of producing up to 38 lbs. of ice in 24 hours and stores up to 3 lbs. of ice at one time. The Opal 2.0 Ice Maker has WiFi connection capability and comes with the side tank attachment for 3x more ice production.
 

I've read numerous disastrous feedback for this unit on Amazon and I'm a bit worried about the number of defective units being sold. Has anyone owned this for more than a year without incident? Has anyone used the Geek Squad extended warranty for repairs?

There are a couple of versions of the Opal out there. I just picked up the Opal 2.0 which is an improved version and seems to work quite well. One way you can differentiate the units is the 2.0 version has touch button sensors on the front for the power, light and cleaning cycle. If you are really concerned you can get the extended warranty through Best buy. Although I have not used the extended warranty on this unit I have used it on my Samsung refrigerator's ice maker and found the service to be quite good.

fax capable

Good Question, it does not have fax capabilities built into the printer. You can send a fax if you use HP's cloud services but the printer cannot receive a fax. If faxing is a requirement I would suggest looking at a Desk Jet or Office Jet series all in one.

Can use either iPad or iPhone to print from. I do ya have a computer and use both off those a lot. But sometimes I would Have a sibling print for me and I’d like to do it on my own

I use this with my ipad and it works fine. Download the HP Smart app from the Apple store and this app allows you to control the printer. I have HP Smart running on my android phones, my ipads and my windows laptops and they all access the printer wirelessly.

does the printer do double siding printing?

The HP Envy 6055 can do double sided printing. It will print the front side of the paper and before the page fully exists the printer it pulls the sheet back into the printer to do the back side. In other words its a 2 step process but it does occur automatically without you doing anything special.

Is the printer also a copy machine? Can I place a 12 page document in the feeder and it will make a copy?

The HP Envy 6055 does not have a document loader so it cannot automatically copy a group of documents. It will copy documents but you have to load each one onto the glass manually. If you want this model with the document loader you should be looking at the HP Envy Pro 6455 or one of the HP Office Jets or Desk Jets.
