Easily handles 130 lb. 79" T.V.

Posted by: bigcat1960
from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to mount my XBR79-900B Sony 4K 3D T.V. I was very leery because my T.V. is 80" across and 130 lbs. I even phoned the company and found out to meet the 175 lb rating it actually held 750 lbs in U.L. testing for certification. I added 4 more bolts and washers to the mounting, so it now has eight and I even did pull-ups on it, (at 200 lbs) so I am very confident with how well this product has been constructed. The swiveling action works great. I did have to buy 4 different bolts than were provided to mount the swivels to the back of T.V. because I did not want to use spacers provided and was able to increase the strength by mounting direct.

VERY SOLID AND WELL CONSTRUCTED

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used this mount for a 55" Sony 4K T.V. It mounted very solid using the four lag bolts provided. Mounting the pivoting arms to the T.V. was also very easy. The swiveling action can be adjusted for ease of use and works effortlessly. It takes some getting use to if you have never used this type of product before but it is very secure, at least at 55".

This stove cooks everything correctly and evenly
on July 10, 2015
Posted by: bigcat1960
from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
This stove bakes cookies evenly and perfectly. Steaks, Potato's, Cake's, Casseroles, ect. True convection fan with it's own heating element is a nice feature and the shelf that rolls out is super strong and it makes it so much easier to baste. The extreme burner to boil water is also a nice feature. Another feature is the raised surface around burners that stops spill and boil overs from getting to your burners. This model also comes with a bottom drawer that is a controlled heating tray to keep cooked food warm. Always have your pan and pot handles pointed out away from stovetop surface however when preparing stovetop items while also using oven, "oven vents through the stovetop and handles can get pretty hot". Just point the handles out the sides or front though and you will not have a problem

easier to understand than touch screen
on February 12, 2014
Posted by: bigcat1960
from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
Had new style touch screen stereo installed in my 2003 Navigator and my factory system had a navigational feature and was wired as a 2004.
With all of these confusions it would not function correctly using the steering wheel controller adapter. Had Best Buy order this very cheaply priced remote control and it is simpler to understand than the stereo screen itself. The major bonus is that you can use it holding it against the steering wheel keeping your vision on the road. I am not touch screen coordinated so it helps that I do not have to take my attention off the road while trying to figure out where to touch the touch screen.

very durable

from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this dryer ducting with my washer / dryer combo. Ended up going with an old style flexible hose because of access issues but still retained all of the other pieces. Would recommend this entire set-up if the angle to your vent pipe is not real sharp. unfortunately mine was so had to go the old flexible wire ribbed style. I still used all other included pieces though.

nice upgrade over rubber hoses
on January 18, 2014
Posted by: bigcat1960
from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
Stainless steel braided hoses have a longer life and will not break down as quickly as rubber. I went with them myself because I bought a top line washer and dryer set and purchased these hoses getting installation in the bargain. Would always recommend going this first class upgrade if you are buying brand new units, as this is a very little cost and Best Buy installs it.

neccessary product for storage and height
on January 18, 2014
Posted by: bigcat1960
from stockton
Verified Purchase:Yes
These pedestals are a necessity with a front load washer and dryer to set them at an easy to use height. Anyone at least 5' 3" or taller would be well advised to buy them with the corresponding front loaders to save their backs. they work great under the LG 4.0 matching washer / dryer set that I have. It also gives you a lot of available storage space. They are the same circumference as the washer and dryer at around 13 inches high. If in the Stockton, Ca. vicinity see sales associate Zach and his floor manager Alex. They gave me a package deal on a full set and helped me to establish interest free credit through the store making my purchase possible. great products sold by even greater people.

great dryer with various cycles

This dryer along with matching washer is excellent. They are state of the art and have a high consumer rating. this dryer as with matching washer has the highest energy conserving rating available. the dryer drys clothes extremely well in little time and is very quiet. It also never gets much of a lint build up do to the force in which it expels air through the vent tube. steam option works excellent. The real plus is that the sales person Zach and his floor manager Alex in the Stockton, Ca. store helped to make this purchase possible by assisting with a line of credit and giving the best price in the industry. Best Buy carries the best products but in my experience products are sold by even better people

The hinges to release the tv are stuck against the wall.

The hinges the are supposed to hang down are braced against the wall so I can't remove the tv. How can I fix this?
Are you sure the hinges are against the wall or is it just the metal pull swivels that are attached to them wedged against the wall? I had that happen on one of my bottom hinges and actually had to pull my T.V. up off of the top of the wall bracket and lower T.V. to release it. I then made sure that the metal pulls were hanging down from the hinges before lifting the T.V. back onto the wall bracket. depending on size of T.V. make sure to have help, even if it is just someone telling you what is going on as you will be in the front of T.V. and what you are dealing with will not be in your line of vision. Also make sure your top adjustment leveling bolts are all the way backed out on your hinges so that you can clear wall bracket when you lift it off.

Will the RF-TVMLPT03 work with a Samsung UN46D7000 and Sony XBR55X800B?

Will the RF-TVMLPT03 work with a Samsung UN46D7000 and Sony XBR55X800B?
Dave, I just left a review for this mount and used it on a Sony XBR55X800B. It is very well constructed and works very well with that T.V.
It should also work with the Samsung because you get a various assortment of spacers and bolt, lengths and sizes. The flat plate of the swivels that mount against your T.V.s has multiple holes so you just line up the ones that match and thread the bolts into the back of your T.V.

Does this mount work for the LG 49UF6900?

I used this mount for my Sony XBR55-800B. It is very well constructed. On your 49" T.V. the swivel arms mount onto the back and then the swivels attach to the wall plate. The swivels have multiple holes in a plate that goes flat against the back of your T.V. and you just put the bolts through the holes that match up. You get a very big assortment of bolts and spacers in various lengths and sizes. If there were any unforeseen issues it would be to get exact correct size and length bolts from a hardware store to mount the swivel arms to the back of your T.V. After that the swivels just hang on the wall plate. On the bolts I do not see you having a problem as in the kit you get an assortment that probably works with about every T.V. on the market and L.G. Samsung and Sony are very similar and the best on the market.

running a gas supply through a wdp4v pedestal

We are building a new house, and we will order a LG dlgx3471v gas dryer. I understand through LG support that the gas supply in the back of the dryer is on the back right, towards the bottom (standing in front of the dryer). Where is the best location to stub out the new gas supply to connect to the dryer? Can it be installed in the floor and run up through the pedestal, or should it come out of the wall?
My LG dryer is actually electric but I have always had the pipe feed a gas dryer from the wall. Running it up through the pedestal would mean that it would be very awkward to work on. Would be additional plumbing
nightmares and chances for leaks. Also wondering if it would be exposed to extra rubbing against piping? Would not recomend.
