Best eletric toothbrush in the market!

We've been Sonicare users for the last two decades. So I was extremely happy to have tried this from Best Buy when it became available. This new model is much more powerful than the predecessors and brush heads gives a much deeper cleaning than ever before. The unit does have settings to allow you to adjust the power of the vibration, but we always leave it at the highest setting. After each use, the whole mouth feels clean and refreshed and the gums gets a really good and healthy massage. I highly recommend it.

Great little trimmer...

We have an older Phillips Multi-groom from 8 years ago and recently traded up to this new model from Best Buy. I would say this thing is nicely built, feels solid, and a great trimmer. The blades are very sharp, so doing larger beards it is a breeze. The additional attachment heads allows you to trim pretty much any part of your body. Just be careful as the new model is much faster and more efficient, and with the sharper blades, go slow on your beard or moustache so you don't accidentally take too much off. Awesome trimmer!!!

Easy to use and great features!

It's been a long time since there is a more advanced photo organizer and editor for my collections. I was quite surprised the ease of use of this product, coming from Adobe. They've simplified the menu options but still managed to provide a much more needed features to edit your personal photos. If you have a lot a family photos, this is definitely the best of the best in the market. The editor also comes with photo organizer. With a simple import, you are on your way to organize all of your photo albums. A great start for Adobe and to fill the niche in the market with the lack of a decent album application. :)

I am excited to be using Google Home for the first time since release. This product is such a wonderful device which works well with my Android phones and other gadgets. It's smart and very responsive to my commands, and controls the lighting, thermostat, and my TVs in the whole house. I also love the ability to update my calendar without having to pickup my phone. It's a nice gadget to have.

Solid, Compatible, and Fast
on October 25, 2016
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
The new Linksys is a MU-MIMO, meaning "Multi-user" and "Multi-Input and Multiple-Output" technology, allowing many devices to connect and transmit data at the same time. This technology is great as it doesn't have to take turn to wait for data transmission, so when you have multiple people or devices using data connection, it retains smooth and fast access. So far after receiving this from Best Buy, I am happy with the speed and connectivity. No dropped connections or slow or choppy TV streaming.
For those of us geeks, you can replace the firmware with DD-WRT as it is made to be compatible with the Open Source project. I have it customized for VoIP and Video Streaming as well as my firewall with custom ports. This is a must have if you want extra security in your geeked up home.

Freedom and Amazing Suction

We are owners of the wonderfully crafted Pet Hair Eraser. We had to try it when we received the AirRam from Best Buy. This unit is simple to use, and built with minimum components to minimize potential future issues. The battery is long lasting for simply daily chores. It really eliminates the hassle of having to plug in the main vaccum when you have simple tasks such as cleaning the kitchen floor or pick up debris or pet food that's around our cat's food bowls. I highly recommend getting this little companion if you like to keep a neat and clean house. A must buy!!!

Beautifully Crafted Device
on October 25, 2016

from San Francisco, CA
If you are a Verizon customer, this device is perfect for you. This phone is solid and feels solid with the aluminum and glass body. It is extremely responsive and not as bloated as Samsung phone I had previously. I am glad I got this phone at Best Buy and gave it a chance. You won't be missing anything other than getting a solid and beautiful product from Google this time. I'm glad they have started to build their own device integrated to their eco-system. Also, side note. I am also deeply integrated with many of the Microsoft services such as Groove, Office, and OneDrive. All of that can be downloaded from the store and can be integrated within Pixel as well.

Great Sound and Noise Cancellation
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
I am out and about a lot and I also practice at a pool hall frequently. These noise cancellation headset really blocks out the ambient sounds in my surroundings, especially when the juke box is playing loud music. I am pretty amazed on how well these headphone blocks out the surrounding sounds. In addition, there's a special button to setup while you are wearing the headphone to allow it to adjust the noise cancelling feature to better detect how you wear the headset to provide a more accurate detection.
The Bluetooth connectivity is flawless and have a much better distance than my other headphones. The long battery really helps when I often forget to charge it, as it has up to 20 hours of playback. If you listen to music frequently at outer surroundings and want a great sound experience, this is a must have.

Stable and reliable wireless router
on September 29, 2016
Posted by: JackM
from San Francisco, CA
Our household consists of more than 10 wireless devices including our SmartTV, PCs, Laptops, Tablets, Smartphones, and Printers, We often have friends and family over our house. And these days, everyone is on their devices at all times. It's nothing but frustration when some devices would simply drop out of the network especially when you have guests over. Even the expensive routers we've had couldn't handle the amount of traffic for wifi connection.
After receiving this Tri-Band Wi-Fi System from Best Buy and going through the easy setup via the web browser. I am absolutely amazed that all of our devices maintained a connection and is able to transfer files at high speed on each of our devices. 300+ Mbps throughput. If you have a lot of interference in your household, or simply want something that can handle multiple devices, I highly recommend investing the money and get a superior product like this. Amazing technology indeed.

Amazing vacuum, not just for pet hair.

It was a nice coincidence our Hoover vacuum decided to give out on us when we received our Bissell Pet Hair Eraser to try out. Since we have three cats, we vacuum on a daily basis so we thought our house is spotless. But we were appalled by the amount of pet hair and dirt this baby has picked up! The bristles in this beast does an amazing job of picking up on all different surfaces as advertised. The attachments also does an amazing job of removing pet hair from our furniture and pet beddings. The Pet Hair Eraser is definitely a keeper!

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. :)

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.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
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.
