Good design need QC Bad Job by Geek Squad
on March 29, 2016
Posted by: kardmania
from omaha
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a well designed unit; unfortunately, my unit was defective. The worst part of this is that the Geek Squad supposedly checked it out and said it was all good.
According to Lenovo the hard drive was defective, the chip set was bad, and possibly the touch pad was also questionable.
Thus a complete waste of time.

Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks.

One of the Best Malware Products

Verified Purchase:Yes
Have not installed this yet as I still have time left on my existing subscription. This product is not a memory hog. Competitive products are much slower as well.
Their support staff speaks English first and will admit when there are false positives.
Most importantly it does work.

Purchased for Samsung Phone Works Fine

I purchased in order to try to minimize the potential for conflict if I was to use a different brand. Delivery was quick and easy as was installation. This model was slightly more money than some no name competitors products.

Great job by Geof product quality still debateable
on September 22, 2015
Posted by: kardmania
from omaha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Geof, the Best Buy associate, who assisted me with this purchase did an outstanding job of getting me this product fast at a good price. He does an excellent job for the customer and Best Buy.
The phone has limited battery capacity and the battery is rather slow recharging.
The touchscreen has varying levels of sensitivity which can be difficult to operate at times.
The TracFone service is a mixed bag. Sometimes it falters when I think it should work easily and sometimes it works when I guess it is 1% chance of working(Louisiana Swamp)
Internet speed is often slow and call drops do happen.
The recommendation is price skewed relative to items that are 10 times the price.

Mixed Bag (Might be better if it used a bag)
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: kardmania
from omaha
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this unit to use predominately on hard wood surfaces.
The shopping experience for this item was full of misinformation. Electrolux advised me that this unit did contain both a crevice cleaner and other attachments. The Best Buy store associate informed me that this item had a button that would adjust the head for optimal hard wood or carpet cleaning (this button is actually the power level button).
The item assembles easily and rapidly. Thus far the average battery life is 30 minutes which is at the bottom end of the levels indicated by the marketing promises; yet still better than the realized results of most competitive products. Full recharge takes the 4hours as stated in the marketing material.
This product has its good points and bad points. The positives: rubber wheels although small are nicer than the plastic wheels on most items (does not scratch floor), the headlamp is excellent (makes the dirt easy to find) , suction is good, noise is better than most, light weight and this unit is well designed (steers and stands well),and 2 year warranty. The negatives: power button can easily be activated unintentionally when doing stairs and the filter. At this price point the device should have a HEPA quality filter that does not need to be cleaned by hand between washings. Filth sticks to the filter and has to be peeled away by hand.
If this item holds up well over 5 years it will be a good purchase at sale price of $199 or $149 at $300 stated MSRP I would have to pass. In reality it is premature to determine the value of this purchase; ask me again 2020.

Fine Value

Very nice capacity and thus far high reliability.
The only limitation was the speed which was not an inhibition in the first thousand pictures I took with this card. There's still a lot of room for more shots.
This is a very nice Value.

Good Feel Travel Companion
on March 23, 2015
Posted by: kardmania
from omaha
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to go with a small Nikon that fails over 10X zoom so I purchased this 20X zoom model. In reality I should have opted for a something bigger and more potent from the photographic standpoint.
This model excels in feel and size. It is a solid dense piece and has the feel of a quality unit. I have taken 1000 pics which are good not great. I have not worked enough with the software to fairly comment.
Two negatives. The Sony website registration procedure is not very quick and the battery charge USB transfer hatch is poorly designed and it is difficult to attach the chord properly.
If you want a fairer assessment ask me in a year.

The products do not set up as indicated in their instructional manuals. Their customer service is Indian and not technically educated. They are reading from database and contacting higher level support.
They claim that their equipment will only deliver 50% of hardwire speed wireless.

Where can I find my phone number and the amount of minutes left?

I have upgraded from a Tracfone flip type to Samsung Stardust and none of the questions I have are described in the manual.
I transferred my old number to the Stardust but when I call from a landline, it keeps telling me that this number is not available or something like it.
How can I find the fone number on the Stardust?
Also, does it come with minutes or do I have to add minutes?
call Tracfone and discuss with customer service I am sure they can help you with this issue

Only at Best BuyThis Sharp LC-42LB150U HDTV features direct-lit LED backlighting, 1080p resolution and DTS sound technology for lush, immersive home entertainment. Three HDMI inputs and MHL link capability makes it easy to watch content in high-definition.
 

Does this TV have down facing speakers on the bottom or are they in the back?

I ask because I do not have a good place to mount it on a wall and because I rent I don't want to put too many holes in the wall. So this tv will be siting on my TV stand and speakers in the back won't have as good sound as on the bottom.
they are down facing from the bottom edge. the sounds projects better than one would expect based on the size and location of these speakers.

If you are seeking a substantially better sound I would forgo the soundbar and buy a good av receiver and speaker system
