Perfect for tablets/laptops
on April 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Ultra Fit is perfect as it has a very low profile - almost flush - where it is pretty much impossible to knock/dislodge from the USB port while in use... just like my Logitech USB antenna for my mouse/keyboard (yeah - I'm 'older'). 128 GB carries enough entertainment for a few days of amusement... Waiting for a 1 TB version to come out...
Prior to buying this, I used thumb drives, but those stick out quite a bit from a USB port and can very easily get dislodged/disconnected/bumped when you use the laptop in close/moving environments - like on a plane, in a car, on your lap. So I've been waiting for 128 GB version to be priced right.
So far, so good... but easy to lose, so I just keep it connected to a USB port on one of my laptops.

Like other Otterboxes - very protective

Used for my iPhone 7. Fit and finish is good. I prefer to rip off the plastic screen protector and replace that with a tempered glass screen protector... Squeezes into the case with no ill effects for a better screen feel/texture.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A: Use the Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet to watch movies, play games or get work done when you're on the road. Its multiuser mode keeps your information safe via individual logins, and a power-saving mode gives you maximum battery life. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet has front and rear cameras that let you take selfies or capture video.

Great for the price, but some annoying flaws...
on June 11, 2016
Posted by: TheYellowStreak
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use mostly Apple devices, but this is my second android tablet - the other being the 1st gen Galaxy Note 10.1.
I wanted a 7" tablet primarily for use in my car (using iPhone as a hotspot when needed). An iPad mini did not make sense as it is bigger and much more expensive. Also, iPad is less flexible when it comes to data/file storage.
I use an iPhone 5 because it prefer that size in my pocket - hated the iP6's size - but in the car, I need a bigger screen to be able to see more/read quickly. Thus, a bigger phone was not the solution.
Primary intention was to use it for GPS/map reading (I have a great spot where it is readable without mounting... Aging eyes make the iP5 screen too small to read quickly. Bigger screen also helps with regular reading (e.g. emails).
So in the one or two months I've owned this, this is how it has met my initial expectations/requirements:
Use as a GPS in the car (mainly map views). My preferred iPhone app for GPS/Navigation is MapQuest. Works great on the iPhone, but there is a severe lag using MapQuest on this tablet. Talking 20-30 second gap between where you are and your location on the map. Yes, it does take time to go from tablet to phone to server and back. HOWEVER, with Google Maps - the lag is only a few seconds - which is very workable.
Email reading is what I expected it to be. Very usable when I use the native email app. Gmail app - however - is very difficult to use if you wanted to take a quick glance - takes forever to update and the font is too small for a glance. But that is the same problem I have with Gmail app on Apple devices...
Pleasant surprises: Screen resolution is excellent. Apps generally run well on the Lollipop OS, but app development is spotty in Android (some apps are developed as Portrait only apps, I've noticed). Been happy enough that I carry it around everywhere in the house as an all purpose device (I even have my Ooma calls ringing on the tablet). I now use it for streaming (MLB TV, Netflix, cable TV, my media server, YouTube), Words with Friends, etc. I even installed some games that are being advertised on TV, and they ran very well. Not into those games, so I deleted them to save space.
The annoying flaw(s): to the left and the right of the home button on the bottom of the tablet are two touch sensitive buttons - one to switch screens/select split screen mode, and the other is the 'back' button. The Flaw? If you're watching video, it's likely to be in landscape mode. If it is not on a stand or other stationary platform, then you're likely to be holding it in your hands. If you hold it with two hands or just using your right hand - you have a 95% probability of touching the back button during playback. A non-issue if the back or screen buttons were actual switches/buttons like the home button and not touch-sensitive, as you would touch, but know not to press it an actual button or switch.
I have to be very aware of these buttons when I move it, as just changing hands or finger grip/position could have a finger touch one of these buttons - interrupting the app. In the case of MLB baseball game streaming, this means I have to RESTART the game's stream. And yes, I have a case that works as a stand, but I typically have it in my hands when it is being used around the house.
The other annoyance... wifi antennae (in)sensitivity - this consistently happens with online streaming, where video would stop and a few moments would pass and it would tell me it (re)connected to wifi. Happens when I am 'a little' further away from my router, Does not happen with other devices at the same spots. And yes, I have signal repeaters close by when this happens.
If not for this - this would be a 5 star device for me. But I'm happy with this and for the price ($119) vs an iPad mini with a lot of storage - I can accept these annoyances.

Unbeatable for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace my Cuisinart stand mixer which stripped its gears and is IMPOSSIBLE to find replacement parts in the US. For the price (Best Buy one day sale of $225) - this cannot be beat. At least I know I can get parts for it... Received it in two or three business days.
5 qt capacity is good. Power - for what it's worth - is excellent. Have made bread dough, cookie dough, and assorted other items without any problems. Because it is a Professional bowl lift type, it is much taller than a tilt head unit. I have trim hanging from the front of my cabinets, so this clears the bottom front of the cabinet by 1/16" inch (I store it in a deep corner and slide it forward to use). As for using the lift-type bowl - it's no big deal - mount the side supports first then press down the back to lock it in. Lift it by its handle to remove and it comes out.
Looks fantastic, too. I like the coated attachments (dough hook and mixing attachment), if for nothing else than its machine wash-ability and visual aesthetics.

LG 24.0 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator with Thru-the-Door Ice and Water: This counter-depth refrigerator gives your kitchen a streamlined look without sacrificing storage space. Innovative organizational features let you store more groceries while still being able to find what you're looking for.
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.

Is it 110 or 220 V? I need 220.
110 V for US. This is a consumer product and has standard plug for household 110 V
