I first got a couple of these when we were showing our house when trying to sell it. The app would get a text from the camera saying it had detected movement (door opening). I could then watch the potential buyers wandering round the house and see when they left. We then knew we could go home instead of driving around for the rest of the allotted hour. Very handy. You can also see how this works for normal security. Plus, it has a 24 hour review where all detected movements are strung together as a high speed movie. Funny watching the dog wandering around at high speed. Night vision too. Excellent camera, especially if you can get it at a reduced price.

Powerful vacuum cleaner

Dyson do make fantastic vacuum cleaners. Their bag-less design never seems to lose power or cleaning ability. They also feel like they are well made, the attachments and hoses snapping together with satisfying clicks. But, they are also pretty expensive, so it is great to get one at a reduced price. Sweet deal.

Brilliant microwave

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned and used quite a few different microwaves over the years and this is, by far, the best. The technology Panasonic uses to defrost and auto-heat food is way ahead of the competition (until their patent period expires). Most folk think a microwave is a microwave, and it is down to looks and how well the menus work, or how long the oven lasts. Yes, those are important to some extent, but how it warms food is really important. Buy this Inverter technology, you will not regret it!

Modern, large, flat screen TVs generally have poor sound out of the box. Okay, but certainly not good enough to watch a movie and "feel" the sound. Hence external speakers. Buying the same make as your TV means one less remote lying around. The 3.1 set up generates really great sound without going to the effort of running wires for a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system (which keeps the wife happy too). The subwoofer connects via wireless to the soundbar. A very good set up.

Samsung generally make great products, this TV is no exception. Clear picture, easy to tweak. Sound is average for a flat screen, hence a Samsung soundbar is a definite purchase (same remote). The biggest problem happens when you connect this smart TV to the internet. It keeps getting notifications from Samsung in a drop-down box that have to be cleared, and there seems to be no way of stopping them - even when the message is a month out of date. I finally disabled the wireless connection and use a Roku instead (which is better anyway but does mean yet another HDMI cable has to be used and hidden away). The TV is very light so I could wall mount it by myself, but those stupid notifications mean 4 of 5 stars as my TV is no longer "smart".

Have an Installer quickly and professionally connect your Refrigerator to an existing water supply line. We will install a manufacturer supplied water filter or new water filter, if purchased. We will also level the new appliance and demonstrate the basic operation.

Fridge set up

Usually something I'd do myself, when I had the Best Buy crew deliver and install my fridge, I had them hook up the water line while they were at it. It hasn't leaked, so I'd say that was a successful installation and a worthwhile option.

I have had experienced leakage problems with plastic fittings on fridges in the past. No more! Stainless steel - the final solution. Just do it.

Style and Function, this fridge has it all
on May 31, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sometimes, you worry that really stylish appliances don't work very well, they just look good. This fridge works well and looks fantastic. The upper two doors give access to the main fridge compartment with it's drawers and multi-adjustable shelves. The lower left door is the surprisingly spacious freezer. The lower right to the optional freezer/chiller/fridge (you select the temperature from the front panel). The doors have recessed handles - which makes cleaning fingerprints off the front easy and takes up less space in the kitchen. One tiny complaint - the doors do not auto-shut, so they have to be pushed closed. An alarm sounds if a door is left open for around 30 seconds for those who forget to shut them properly. The internal LED lighting is nice too. Now to see how long this beauty lasts.

Pebble Smart Watch

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this purely to work with a golf app on my phone. Since Pebble ceased to operate, BB were selling them off with a high discount. This particular model has been superseded even by Pebble, let alone other brands. But, it does what I want it to do perfectly, the battery lasts for 5 or 6 days, it shows me messages from the phone amongst other things. Brilliant for the price, but definitely limited by 2017 standards.

This is an excellent way to expand the memory of tablets that let you do it (Microsoft and Kindle for example). Certainly fast enough for those and at a decent price.

Is microwave energy efficient?
Compared to standard ovens (yes!) or other microwave ovens of equal power and capacity? This one is probably way more efficient because of the way it regulates the cooking process. It is the only one (so I hear) that can run at reduced power as opposed to turning full power on and off like most ovens do. At the end of the day, this is a fantastic microwave and certainly the best I have ever owned. But, I have not done any power consumption comparisons between ovens so couldn't tell you if it costs less to run than a GE or Samsung or (fill in name brand here) does.

Any specs for the dimensions of the subwoofer? Don't see any listed. I want to hide this behind the doors in my built-ins but am limited for space. Is there any way someone can get me the dimensions of the sub, please? Thanks.

I recently bought this sound bar and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Samsung LN46C530 TV (2011). I have the soundbar connected to the tv via the optical cable. What do I have to do next. Thank you.

This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
What happen if a fire happen and this unit burns? Can we get a real "backup in the cloud" ? How many gigabytes this could would be? Is it free to back up?
this is not "cloud" as is generally used. It is your own hard drive which sits in your home, but you can access it globally as if it were the cloud. Basically, it is not a safe cloud backup that you are looking for.

changinging sat. receivers from old to h.d. receivers ?
can download my sons football interviews from tv dvr to flashdrive so I can change satellite receivers ?
I can only speak for DirecTV DVRs. The HD versions will only output low def signals via the s-video or audio/video outputs, the destination was meant to be VHS tapes. With a video capture device and software, it is possible to record the video in a digital format onto a computer, which could be copied onto a USB drive. My understanding is that DirecTV do not want you to be able to copy HD broadcasts - which is understandable. The simplest way for you may be to set up a video camera and record the interviews directly from the TV. Sound quality will likely be a problem, but you will have a copy.
