Fantastic counter depth unit with large capacity
on June 13, 2018
Posted by: TheYellowStreak
from Charlotte, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Replaced my piece of garbage GE 42 in wide 'built-in' with this LG unit despite it not filling the old fridge's space completely. Install was easy - I already had a new water line so I only needed them to deliver and position it in front of the intended space. Unit rolled easily into the space.
So far - no issues with the unit. Ice making is sufficient and I like that the ice maker/ice storage is in the door and not in the shelf space. As a counter depth unit - shelf space is at a premium.
Really like the middle tray in the freezer drawer - most units only have one pull out tray above the main freezer area. I put frozen goodies (ice cream sandwiches, etc.) as it rolls open when you pull the freezer drawer out.
French doors work very well. Fingerprints are easily removed with the wipe of a damp microfiber cloth. Eventually I'll stop wiping it daily. Deep door shelves on the right door is great to have. I forgot there was a narrow bottom shelf 'hidden' under the lower deep door shelf. Opened a new jar of jelly, when I forgot that I already had an open jar on that shelf.
Downsides... the produce drawers - three of them - really should just be two wide drawers, instead of two mid-size drawers sandwiching a small drawer. The lower drawer can be set for meat, deli and produce. Works perfect as I have quite a few deli items.
Only 'complaint' is that only the front 'legs' are adjustable in height. Would be nice to be able to raise the height of the back to improve the leveling and stability when the doors close. Have to decide if I want to slide the fridge onto thin plywood into the back as it is obviously 'not close to level' when viewed from the side.

Works, since it is an Apple cable. Needed a cable for a trip and it was in stock (as expected).

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

Fourth one - works well for being a lazy person

Verified Purchase:Yes
Added this in addition to my three other units. Very happy to spend $29 for a smart speaker that works with Google Assistant to command my devices controller by Samsung SmartThings Hub. Sound quality is ok, but pretty decent considering the size. Will probably add more as time passes.

I tend to go through headsets for assorted reasons such as my own rough handling or a hungry cat chewing on wires... This does a good job.

Very good interface with Samsung SmartThings

Verified Purchase:Yes
Use this as a primary interface with my Samsung SmartThings hub - which controls all sorts of lights/dimmers an smart plugs. Does a decent job pulling up programming that you would access on your mobile once you figure out the best ways to phrase the commands... like saying the name of the radio station as it appears on TuneIn

The T30 is the center channel speaker that puts its overpriced competitors to shame. Since the center channel is the most important speaker in your Home audio system, the T30 is the workhorse that delivers crystal-clear dialogue and room-filling theater sound. What’s more, it’s easy to setup, supports Dolby and DTS, and connects to most Home theater receivers, stereos or Home theater processors. Put the T30 center channel to the test and you'll hear how it rings true-in price and quality. Built for more than your viewing pleasure, the T Series hits the mark on great-sounding audio for all the music that fills your life. Don't fret, we'll pat ourselves on the back for you.

Added this to my Polk T50 speakers as I sorely needed a center speaker. Now that I have it I can Space all of my speakers properly. As it is part of a matching set (I also have the subwoofer), the sound is very complementary to all of the other speakers. Made it easier to fine tune the sound.

Add deep, low-frequency bass impact to your movies and music with Polk's PSW108. This subwoofer is powered by a high-current amplifier producing 50 watts RMS/100 watts clean, dynamic power for loud bass and a wide dynamic range necessary to recreate a life-like home theater experience. Features front-firing 10" composite polymer cone driver that adds depth to your audio tracks and provides more bass impact for your sound system. The cabinet is constructed from non-resonant MDF with internal bracing for superior bass clarity and accuracy. Features flexible inputs and controls like power-saver on/auto switch, independent volume control and a toggle phase switch on the back panel for a cohesive unit. Place the subwoofer on the same side of the room as your system's front speakers for the best performance

Good value for the price

Good deal from Best Buy around Black Friday to add this to the matching Polk T50 speakers and center speaker. As they are part of the same series they truly complement each other... this subwoofer provides the right amount of deep bass for music and movies. Enough to give my son a headache as the subwoofer sits above his room.

Works with older Schlage lock and lamp dimmer
on October 13, 2017
Posted by: TheYellowStreak
Verified Purchase:Yes
Decided I didn't want to pay for Schlage's Nexia online subscription... Bought this on sale for well less than half price of Nexia's annual subscription. Does the job. Plug in lamp dimmer was simple to activate. The lock - was a bit more complicated. Help desk was super helpful - turns out I had to do a factory reset on the lock (since it was tied to Nexia), then have the Smartthings hub 'forget' about the lock and re-activate. All is done via the phone app ("more", then 'Hub is Online", then select "Z-wave utilities", then "General Device Utilities", Then "remove"). Just remember - when the lock is activated, the lock needs to be very close to the hub. Either (uninstall the lock and) bring the lock to the hub or bring the hub to the lock. My 25 ft network cable helped...
Overall - very satisfied. Now I can expand with some more Z Wave devices. Note - if you put in a wall switch - make sure you have a white/neutral line in your switch box's wiring.

Hardware and Software both meet my needs
on August 12, 2017
Posted by: TheYellowStreak
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't need a touch screen - much rather program it from a PC or phone App. App also allows me to monitor my HVAC system's ability to keep up with the heat and provides alerts when it exceeds tolerances. My AC has been acting up I set up the thermostat to send me an alert when the temp stays above a certain temperature (telling me the AC unit is not keeping up). Helpful as I have had to fix a number of things on the HVAC system... App is nice as well. Went away on vacation and was able to adjust the temp (playing) from over 1000 miles away.

I'ce taste like mold
Did you install a new water line (hose)? Did you flush that water line before connecting it to the refrigerator (I filled a bucket with water)? Did you follow the instructions? You need to run/fill about 20 cups of water to flush the system when you first install it. Something like 30 seconds on, wait a minute or two, then repeat till you have run about 20 cups of water. Same with the ice - let the ice maker fill up, then dump the entire load of ice. We all love the taste (or lack of taste of) water. Flushing should also be done when you replace the water filter.

Does the Led light on the water and ice dispenser have an auto on feature at night? We use the ice dispenser light on our current fridge as a night light?

Can this be used as a cell phone
No. THIS tablet does not make calls over cellular voice lines. Even if you buy a tablet that has a cellular data plan, that would probably not be supported for cell phone calls.
However, you can use VOIP apps with this tablet for calls over wifi connections. I use Ooma for home phone service and the app works well - I have it set ring the tablet when an incoming call at home comes in; not that I answer the calls. I can also place calls via Ooma; so you can use it as a 'phone' when you can connect to wifi AND have a VOIP service that you use (like Magic Jack, Ooma, some cable TV services that also provide telephone service)... I have also connected to a mobile hotspot (my iPhone 5)and have had my tablet ring with an incoming call.
I have not tested it with ear pods with a mic yet - so I basically only use it as a VOIP speaker phone. For the moment.
