Chad is always the Best!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the 2nd time Chad at Geek Squad has install a 55” tv and sound system and mounted it to either the tv stand in the living room or a swivel wall mount in the man cave.
Chad and his crew are always very helpful and explain how to operate everything, and always make sure everything works as it should or in some cases even better than I imagined they should work. Chad always asks if I would like things installed in a certain way instead of just going ahead and putting it up the way the installer once did from another company many years ago,
Well worth the money having it installed right with an expert to explain and teach the customer how to properly operate and perform all the functions on the systems that you purchase; tv, sound systems, remotes, mounting systems and such.

Man cave 55” tv wall mount

Verified Purchase:Yes
My new 55” oled tv was mounted on the wall of my 12’ x 28’ man cave.
I can easily and safely turn my 3/8” very thin tv to either my recliner or sofa located at one end or turn it to the other end of my man cave where I have a treadmill and tools and a work shop and watch tv comfortably at either end.

Sound bar should be more expensive

I bought this sound bar for my new LG 55” oled tv and WOW, what a difference it made even over my old surround sound system. It was competitive to some of the higher end systems so I was leary of purchasing it at first, but now I do not have any regrets at all and recommend this powerful system.

Man cave dream TV
on March 24, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to up grade my older tv in my man cave that was over10 years old and reviewed the oled 4K’s for almost 6 months before deciding on this wonderful LG.
I love movies and watching sports and wanted a tv that would work well in both
those areas and this one does the trick at a very good price.
While watching movies it is sometimes disappointing that things are too clear and you see the movie as a closeup play with the people being viewed with their little imperfections that you don’t even see in the movie theater because this screen is so clear, or cheesy props being used in a scene.
Sports are more fun to watch and I have not found anything to complain about with this model.

In my opinion the best refrigerator out there
on May 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Where do I start?
This refrigerator is a thing of beauty and for a very large appliance it looks amazing and not like a chunk of metal sitting in a kitchen. We have a smaller kitchen and it looks good in the kitchen. My wife and are elderly and we like the French Doors folding out and everything is right there, no more continuously bending down in the bottom of the refrigerator digging for something . Everything has its own place and is easy to find. The bottom of the refrigerator is for the freezer with a top drawer door you can use for either freezer items or temperature settings for soft serve ice cream or similar items. All the drawers and compartments glide out with ease and shut the same way. It took a while for me to realize when the doors and drawers are completely shut because they work so smoothly. I did leave a bottom compartment of the freezer open once while I was preparing a meal and got a signal from the refrigerator with chimes that the door had been left open (How cool is that) pun intended.
I love the glass door and find myself like a little boy knocking on the glass when I walk by to watch it light up. It also is very smart as we put things in that compartment that we use often so we are not always opening the inside of the fridge all the time.
The drawers have separation compartments that glide so you can adjust the drawer compartments. The ice bin compartment is way smaller than our last refrigerator and I was worried about it keeping up, however it seems to work just fine preparing the ice as needed.
The lighting inside the refrigerator is soft LED and there is no area that isn’t lit when you open the door.
The refrigerator has an app that I probably won’t use (I’m an old guy remember) but it has some amazing features that I cannot comment on because I have not used the app.
This is an expensive refrigerator and I was hesitant of purchasing it because of the price. In retrospect I feel that it is such a great piece of equipment and has tons of room. It is easy to operate and use, and looks great. I can’t think of anything negative about it and my wife and I are very glad we decided on this make and model.

My first 4K TV and love it
on August 7, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I reviewed 4k televisions on-line for some time before purchasing this television. I had intended to purchase another brand.
When I went to BestBuy the salesman showed me the differences between the 4K I was intending to buy and also other 4K televisions. He then showed me the television of his choice last, showing the difference in clarity, color and lack of motion blur. He highly recommended this television over the one I had intended on purchasing that also had a much higher price. I feel he introduced me to a better television with more advanced features for less money.
Bottom line we love this 4K TV. We love the internet accessibility with the ability to easily watch anything from Netflix to Facebook.
I like this Samsung so much I intend to purchase another to replace another television in my man cave.

Very happy with my purchase

This is a very nice looking microwave that has a lot of bells whistles for the price that is very easy to operate. We just made over the kitchen and for being a midsized microwave this unit looks much better and is easier to operate with more features and less noisy than the large very expensive microwave we replaced it with. If I had it to do all over again I would not hesitate to again purchase this microwave.
What's great about it: price, looks, features, just about everything
What's not so great: so light, it slides around the counter when you push the start button

Can Alexa be turned off? I'd like to purchase this for my father who is losing his eye sight but has no use for Alexa.
