Grandkids loved them

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased for my 3 grandchildren and they loved them. I did read reviews prior to purchase which stated they run small and did shrink so I bought these 3 sizes too large for what I thought would give them a little room to grow. After the first washing they fit slightly snug! The colors are good and the cotton is a nice weight but something really should be done about the inaccurate sizing issues. Had I not read through the reviews these would not have even come close to being large enough for them and would have had to be returned making for 3 very unhappy little people.

Flashlight is bright enough

Flashlight for one of it's size is fine for the price, metal case not plastic. Headlamp is basically a throw-a-way. Cheap plastic with even cheaper elastic band which does not stay in place as the weight of the light makes it want to sag downward

Spend a bit more and get something better

Verified Purchase:Yes
The price caught my eye but there weren't any available reviews for the item so I took a chance since the speaker system I had finally shorted out after 13 years and cash is tight this time of year. I was disappointed but I have sound even if it is tinny sounding and didn't break the bank. My original set was a good one for listening to music so I was spoiled. Much smaller than expected as the photo made them appear larger.

This was actually my second purchase of the item. Worked well enough that I purchased a second for the guest bedroom. A dedicated remote would be so much nicer but for the sale price, hard to turn down even if you have to keep your phone connected to a charger while using.

3 out of 3 returned because they were damaged

Verified Purchase:Yes
The store gladly refunded with a gift card then the gift card was used for the replacements. My points were deducted on the return and not reissued because of the gift card. Not happy about losing the purchase points or having to make an additional trip to return them but the cases are fine. Lightweight but served my needs and the colors were a nice touch for giving family photo slideshows as gifts

Kitchen necessity for frequent bread makers
on May 9, 2014
Posted by: technogrannie
from NM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Kitchenaid has always been a high-end expensive appliance brand but has the reputation of holding up while lesser brands fail. (My mother had the same stand-mixer for nearly 40 years and it was still chugging along when she gave it away) If I can get 15-20 out of this one I will be pleased.
I am an a bread enthusiast so considering my age and two wrist surgeries the kneading process was becoming difficult and tedious for me. This stand mixer itself is well built and heavy duty enough to complete this step for me. The attachments don't seem as well constructed as earlier versions but all seem to serve their intended purpose. The stainless 5 1/2 qt. bowl for the ez-lift version is somewhat disappointing as far as quality in this product's price range and I doubt it holds up to heavy use for any length of time. I guess that is why you get a replacement parts list and with it. I would highly recommend this model in any other color if you are an avid baker or entertain frequently using it several times a week. If you aren't a frequent or heavy duty user I would suggest a smaller less expensive model that doesn't take up as much counterspace.

What's great about it: Slow start and sufficient power for breadmaking
What's not so great: COLOR/"SILVER" is not even close it's actually an ugly primer grey
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will it work with mobile data instead of internet?
I do not have access to internet where I live, but I have an unlimited data plan on my phone (android). I also do not have mobile hotspot. However, I have a modem and a wifi router (again no internet). Will chromcast work for me? I will I be able to watch netflix or youtube on my phone, and mirror it to my TV?
4G seems to work whereas 3G not so much keeps buffering

Works with Amazon Prime?
Wondering if this apply's for Amazon Prime movies and more?
And I assume Chromecast only works with places your paying monthly subscriptions for example like the Hulu and Netflix ?

yes if using my laptop I can access both Netflix and Amazon Prime, my phone has issues related to data transfer and keeps buffering so I don't use it with a phone. My son however has Verizon 4G and it works fine with his phone.

does it come in a original cromecast package? or just in a shipping bag like used?
The chromecast USB comes in a box with cable and adapter, the only difference between it and new is the "refurbished" stickers on it.

Easily connect your projector, monitor or HDTV to other peripherals with this VGA cable that features 24K gold contacts for maximum signal transfer and corrosion resistance.
i want to connect a laptop to a sony smart tv that has net flix installed
Netflix allows you to register several devices to watch on, TV, laptop, Bluray players and even phones so if you want to watch on your laptop simply go to www.netflix.com and log on to your account using the same username, email and password. Hope this helps

I would like to purchase the Kenwood Kmix but it appears to have a weak motor 500w. Should I consider buying a different, stronger model?
500 watts should be plenty of power for general mixing as long as the motor has overload protection to prevent overheating during heavy mixing. If you intend to be using it for heavy cookie doughs or breadmaking I would go with no less than 550 and preferably 575. You do want to make sure it has overload protection in any case especially since it is an expensive mixer. I am not familiar with the Kmix but for the serious baker I would recommend you research Kitchenaid brand mixers in the US. I would buy a Kenwood sound system based on reputation over the years but kitchen appliances???? Not so much! If you are in the UK however you likely don't have that option. They seem comparably priced so one would likely conclude they are of similar quality construction. Hope this helps
