Have an Installer Haul Away or Relocate your Appliance.
Posted by: chitown230517
from Chicago, IL
For a small price you can avoid a large burden. I found it well worth the price to not have to figure out what to do with my old appliance. I know if may have been possible to actually make money on it by recycling it, but probably not worth the headache compared to just being done with it. I would recommend the haul away service to anyone.

Dishwasher installed and works perfectly

I may in biased because I used the installation at a time it was offered for FREE, but it was well worth it. The service reps for our installation knew what they were doing, we kind and communicated well. I did not like the 8 hour window that the night before was 'narrowed down' to a 4 hour window, especially since the time window was 10am-2pm (middle of the day makes it difficult to be there to accept), but we had flexibility to have some one present that day so it was no big deal. I would recommend this service, especially if offered for FREE. :-)

Bosch 100 Series built-in dishwasher: Clean up after dinner quickly with this dishwasher, which features a concealed heating element for powerful cleaning and a RackMatic adjustable rack to accommodate up to 14 place settings.
Posted by: chitown230517

We had an old Bosch (12+ years old) that went out (pump) and needed to replace it. We were very happy with how long the old Bosch washer lasted and worked for us, we were set in only looking at Bosch. After looking at several Bosch models we settled on the Ascenta 24 unit. First off, the design is sleek, there are not buttons on the front face (located on the top of the door), and has a cup style handle. The interior racking is set up very well allowing you to maximize the number of dishes that you can fit into it. The most important element to a dishwasher's performance (other than it working) is the sound. This washer runs at 46dB so it is very quiet. The light indicator stays lit red when it is running and turns off when complete. The most annoying element about the end of the cycle is a 'beep' that continues until you open the door alerting that the cycle is complete. I don't understand why this is the factory standard, but it is fairly easy to turn down or completely off (just following the instruction in the owner's manual). As for cleaning, we have run about 20 loads since we have had this installed and all come out very clean. I would recommend this washer as a good alternative to the higher end washer available. It gives you all you need low sound, cleaning effectiveness, but without some of the bells and whistles.

I was torn as I was ready to upgrade from an iPhone 5S to either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone SE. I was committed to go with the SE because I was such a fan of the 4" display, and liked the cost of it compared to the 6S...but then Best Buy ran a sale with 2-year contract dropping the 6S close to the SE cost. I decided the deal was too good to pass up and went for the 6S. I am glad I did. The screen size is larger, but that is a good thing. It took some getting used to, but after a few days, it is easy to adjust and I can say it is hard to go back on the 5S now. There are a few features only available on the 6S, my favorite being the 2nd generation Touch ID. I used to think the 1st gen was just fine, and it is, but once you have the 2nd gen you can't go back. It is so quick. The phone is great, fast, sleek, and dependable. Plus the Rose Gold finish is an awesome addition of choices for finishes. I highly recommend this phone to anyone especially if are an iOS user.

Great family movie and with a great hidden meaning

Zootopia is my pick for next year's Oscar for best animated movie, and we are not even through 2016 yet. This movie is fantastic, and uses animals to take on discrimination (race, gender, etc). It teaches that you can 'Try Everything' to be what you want to be. It shows that even the 'bad' can be 'good' and vice versa. I will warn that the movie can be a little scary for younger children as there are a few scenes that could make you jump, but overall just can't say enough about how great this movie is....highly recommended!

![Innocence + Experience Live in Paris [Super Deluxe Edition] [2DVD/BR] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5329/5329021_sa.jpg)
Posted by: chitown230517

As you know by the product description, the Super Deluxe version comes with all available formats released: The DVD of the concert, The DVD of the bonus features, the Blu Ray (contains both the concert and bonus features), and a digital download code for both the concert and bonus features in both HD and SD. Here are a few notes about each:
DVDs / Bluray: The concert is great, one of the best U2 has put out as an official release. This concert was the show televised on HBO in December 2015 from Paris, but there are some differences. There was definitely some edits done, some for the good and some for the not so good. The release contains 'The Fly' which acts as an intermission between the 1st set and the 2nd set of the show. This was not part of the HBO special, and what is cool about this is you see the behind the scenes prep the band does between the sets. You also see Bono singing live and performing the song along with the pre-recorded music that is being played. At the end you get a live version of '40' played to the credits. I am not sure when this was performed, but most likely at show the 1983 Red Rocks show that late tour manager Dennis Sheehan began the tradition of singing 'how long to sing this song'. Mr. Sheehan passed away in May of 2015 in LA during this tour, so this is undoubtedly a tribute to him and how much he will be missed. My only 'bad' video edit came during 'Even Better than the Real Thing' where there is a close camera mount near each band member performing. It is very awkward and wish they didn't have these camera cuts, but they aren't bad enough the ruin the overall all well done direction of this show.

It is very awkward and wish they didn't have these camera cuts, but they aren't bad enough the ruin the overall all well done direction of this show.
The Bonus Material is very good, I am glad they included The Electric Co, Out of Control, and Bad as bonuses as they were such a big part of the tour. I wish they had included Angel of Harlem, Sweetest Thing, and/or Desire for the same reasons, but overall a good collections of bonuses.
Digital Download Card: This is only available with the Super Deluxe. It is what you think it is, but I am a little disappointed with it. It is a code that you redeem through Universal's website specifically for this release. You then download the .MP4 files from the site, and then can import them in iTunes or put on your mobile device. My issue with it is that I wish I could download it from iTunes directly. There aren't any chapters set up for it, so if you watch through Apple TV via stream you need to fast forward it to get to where you want versus a simple skip to next chapter. The file sizes are very big (9GB for the concert in HD) so it is difficult to add to mobile devices unless you have a lot of space. An iTunes copy for me would have been better so I could stream it and have chapters with it. It is so inconvenient that I may need to re-buy a download copy via iTunes in the future.
Super Deluxe Extras: The USB Lightbulb is very cool for a collector. It lights up when plugged in and resembles the bulb that the show starts with hanging over the stage. The 64-page book is also great. Many pictures from the show, as well liner notes from Irish playwright Connor McPherson and Gavin Friday. The remaining 'stuff' is where things get a little gimmicky, but still nice to have for a fan. There are pin badges (3 different ones of the band or with the tour logo), dog tags that are individually numbered, postcards (great photo selection for them), stickers, and a stencil set of a light bulb, boot, and a wolf.
The box itself is made up of high quality cardboard with a magnetic flag to keep it closed but for easy opening.
Final recommendation: So I am a diehard U2 fan, and have been for years. I have been to 20 shows over the years (5 on the i&e tour). I love to collect U2 releases and have purchased previous Deluxe box sets (U2360, No Line on the Horizon, Achtung Baby, etc). This right up there with the best and do not regret my purchase. If you are a diehard U2 fan and collector, do not hesitate get this edition you will not be disappointed. If you like U2 but don't care about the gimmicky stuff and are not a collector, I would suggest the blu-ray version and save the $100.
