One of the best mid-range headphones
on June 3, 2017

The new Audio-Technica ATH-SR6BT I received from Best Buy has one of the better sound qualities compared to the ones I have previously used. I was surprised the bass controls are better than my Sennheiser. I am very glad they've incorporated a 3.5mm connection in case Bluetooth connection is not available or you prefer a better sound quality. It comes with 45mm dynamic driver, one button remote, and the headphone is very comfortable.

Great Signals and Range

I've used various extenders in the past and have mixed feeling about it. However, I decided to try this for my dad's house, as it had great reviews via multiple sources. I will say the extender did not disappoint. It carried great signals from the main router to the 2nd floor at my dad's house. They were able to surf the web and stream TV on their iPad and Bedroom TV without any hiccups. So it's worth the investment if you have trouble with signals in your house.

Solid and Great Picture!

from San Francisco, CA
I was excited when I received the delivery from Best Buy for this new 4K Blu-ray player. I was surprised the packaging was heavy and it turns out the player is built solid with high quality components. Upon booting, the loading of the movies were fast and swift and the picture quality was amazing. I was a bit concerned with how well the upscaling of the 1080 movies would come out. But it turns out it does a very good job with "guessing" the pixels and the pictures were sharp and great to watch. This beast certainly didn't disappoint. The bluetooth is a nice addition as I like to watch movies alone at times and the sound not choppy and able to carry a good distance. If you are looking for a high-end and high performance 4k player, this would be a great investment.

Amazing Clipper!
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
First of all, I'd like to say that I consider myself a bit of a clipper connoisseur. I'm a very hairy man, I wear my head shaved, and do my best to keep my beard cropped down to a shadow length. But, even at shadow length I want it to be contoured, beveled, blended and faded. I'm a mature man with a round head and face, so I depend on my scruff to contour my jowls a bit, sculpt my jawline, lend a bit of prominence to my modest chin, and even obscure the beginnings of a turkey waddle.
I employ a collection of clippers and outliners to achieve some semblance of symmetry , but as often as not, I fall short in my skills, causing me to appear like a Picasso portrait of his Cubist period. I then either shave it all off, or attempt to even it out over the next few days.
I dread travel because I need to carry a minimum of two types of clippers, as well as my regular shaving gear.
I recently received the Panasonic Precision Trimmer. My expectations were modest at best, being no strangers to the latest entries into the home grooming tools.
Well, I have been proven wrong. This thing is a gift from the clipper gods. The ability to adjust bead length by DIALING in such precise increments is AMAZING! I'm truly blown away. It has totally taken the hassle out of trimming my facial hair. I'm able to fade my beard a millimeter at a time, and no worry about the attachments slipping. Also, the width of the blade allows for a more even overall outcome. The narrower shaving heads can cause high and low spots when going over the chin area, as well as the under the nose when trimming my mustache.
I truly was skeptical, but in all honesty, I'm ready to throw this thing in my bag and travel. It's nice to see an innovation that actually functions as intended. I’m satisfied beyond any reasonable expectation.

It’s a convenient home base for your speaker, and you can play your music while it charges. Just plug the wall charger included with your speaker into the cradle. Available in Black.

Nice job! A docking cradle too!

When I received my new Bose Revolve+ from Best Buy, I wasn't sure about the performance compared to our existing Bose Sound Docks. But I am absolutely blown away by the sound quality, clarity, and the bass it puts out. It is really nice to also have a separate docking charger for the unit itself. Really makes my life simpler as I use it frequently. I take it with me everywhere, kitchen, office, etc. If you get the Revolve+, definitely invest in the charging dock too. It's worth it.

Deep. Loud. And immersive, too. SoundLink Revolve+, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, delivers true 360° sound for consistent, uniform coverage. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall so sound radiates and reflects. This wireless speaker is durable, water-resistant and easy to grab and go - with a rechargeable battery that plays up to 16 hours.

Beyond Expectation!

When I received my new Bose Revolve+ from Best Buy, I wasn't sure about the performance compared to our existing Bose Sound Docks. But I am absolutely blown away by the sound quality, clarity, and the bass it puts out!!! It is just as good or better than the original docks! I don't know how they do it. But they sure did an awesome job at making this baby the best speaker yet! Plus, if you get the docking charger, you can basically roam around the house all the time without worrying about wires. You can connect multiple Bluetooth devices and the "distance" of the signal great. No loss of quality or studddering! Enjoy!

Amazing and Portable!

I am so glad to have received the Dyson V8 Animal from Best Buy. There simply isn't any great competitors out there for the type of portability and suction. This unit is small, powerful, and with a wide variety of attachments for floor cleaning and I especially use it to clean my car and garage. At the end of the day, this baby saved me a lot of time and hassle. Being cordless with the amount of power is simply amazing.

HOT coffee and great features!
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
Received our shipment from Best Buy and I will say, this Ninja Coffee Bar is loaded with features and I love how hot the coffee is and the flavor it extracts from coffee beans. We are K-cup users and love our machine for the convenience factor. However, the Ninja Coffee Bar is easy to maintain and it does give you the extra kicks if you are a coffee connoisseur. We also love the cafe forte option and the coffee is not bitter nor over extracted. The frother is a very nice to have when it comes to enjoyment of a nice rich café latte. But with the cold froth, we like to make a small amount of sweetened whipped cream and we don’t have to whip out our blender for this. You certain get a lot of use and enjoyment out of this.

Worth the invest for connection quality and speed
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
I was very excited to see my Linksys Velop in the mail and even more once it was installed. The signals are strong and the speed of file transfers between my computers is ultra-fast. If you have a big home or live in a place with a lot of signal interference, you need a meshed Wi-Fi system like this. With Alexa integration you can give the router commands such as change password, setup guest password, turn off the router. In addition, having multiple Smart TVs and Roku in the house, I don’t experience any speed degradation because of the new technology compared to my old routers. My connection to my work VPN seems a lot faster as well and so far, I haven’t experience any dropped connections. For the longest time, I was questioning the connection quality from my work rather than from my home because I always have the latest and greatest techs here. Definitely worth the investment.

Great new brush heads
on November 26, 2016
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
We've been Sonicare users for the last two decades. So I was delighted to try the new Sonicare model along with these adaptive brush heads. The new brush fits better in the mouth and along with the more powerful motor of the handle, it truly gives a great massage to the gums as well as a much deeper cleaning. If you plan on upgrading, I highly recommend it!!!

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
Does this support the same wiring configurations as the Nest 3rd gen? I live in an apartment and cannot run extra wiring for the HVAC system.
I believe C-wire is required.

It's 4 cups. :)

how long does it take to brew 1 cup large (not xtra large) and 1/2 of coffee carafe
If it's preheated, it takes about a minute or so. :)

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?
No. At this moment, the release in the U.S. is only for Verizon network. But I have a feeling they would be releasing this for International users in the near future.

If you have a lot of interference in your home, either with multiple devices or from nearby neighbor, yes, this device is a much better choice than the Nighthawk, which is what I previously had.
