This 7.4 cu. ft. Samsung dryer is big enough for up to three baskets of laundry at once. Save more time with Sensor Dry cycle, which automatically turns off as soon as your clothes are dry and protects your clothes from over drying. Plus, with the convenience of nine cycle presets, you can choose the best setting for every load.

Does a great job drying mixed loads without overdrying. Love the "Sanitize" cycle. It drys quickily and without as much nose as you'd expect.

Love the extra capacity

Efficient and quiet, and the best part is how much can be put into a single load. It's great to be able to put large items, even a king size comforter, and avoid the trip to the laundromat.

Indestructible and great for quick clean ups

I have two of these for quick clean ups and they work great. They've survived considerable abuse and keep working. Not a replacement for the expensive Rainbow vac, but much easier to move around and on stairs when not doing a deep clean.

A good performer at a great price

Picked it up for my son in law who's the only regular coffee drinker in the house. It gets plenty hot, brews good coffee and the compatibility with regular grounds saves a lot of money.
Note, like most single cup machines you don't have enough height to brew directly into oversize mugs. It's not a problem for me, but if you want to brew directly into a travel cup this machine isn't what you need.

Effortless setup, quality printing
on January 26, 2015
Posted by: Surakmn
from Minnesota
Effortless to set up on my WiFi, set up with Google CloudPrint, and the mobile app tools are great, I love being able to scan directly to and from my phone and tablets. Print quality is good, automatic duplex is amazing to have at this price, and even on draft mode the print quality is fine, so ink lasts a long time. Two quibbles. 1) I REALLY wish this had a USB and a SD card slot for direct printing and scanning. 2) It is not a speedy printer. Considering the overall package those quibbles are small. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Your blood is flowing, your heart is pumping and adrenaline is surging through your veins. There's only seconds left and you can taste the victory — not to mention a supremely epic K/D ratio. Just as time's about to run out, you hear the sound of footsteps from behind you. You're already shooting as you whirl around and you manage to take him down and save yourself. The screen fades to black and the room fills with the glow of your headset as the cheers and whoops of your teammates fill your ears. Glory is yours.When the action is most intense, you need to be able to rely on your headset to give you the edge.

This Afterglow Universal Prismatic Wireless Headset is tuned by a Hollywood sound-design studio, and features 50mm neodymium speakers that sit inside an angled acoustic cavity for intense audio depth, sonic richness and clarity of sound.

Needs extra attachments

The website says it's compatible with Xbox 360 but when you get the product the fine print on the box says it needs an extra adapter which, if available anywhere, costs almost $50. Returned and traded for a different headset.

Amazing value and performance at a low price

Age:45-54
Phone size:Large
The Motorola Moto G sets a new standard for moderately priced phones with lots of memory, a fast processor, and a high resolution screen. I got an unlocked one for my wife and she liked it so much I got another one for myself.
The regular Moto G has 3G data, doesn't support SD cards and comes with 8 or 16 G of memory built in. The LTE model offers only 8 G but supports SD memory cards to facilitate plenty of media storage.
You expect a name brand phone with good specs to perform well and it does. The LTE is blazing fast (thanks T-Mo) and the battery life is the best I've had in a smart phone. Since I got the unlocked variant there's not a lot of bloatware to mess with. I did install Visual Voicemail and MyAccount, carrier specific apps, from Google Play and they work flawlessly.

Succeeds at what it sets out to do
on September 4, 2014
Posted by: Surakmn
from Minnesota
Age:45-54
Gender:Male
I wanted a pedometer that could be worn as a watch - my fitbit zip devices worked fine but too easily ended up in the washing machine. But many of the fitness bands in this price range don't include a watch/display. The Striiv Touch connects to iOS or Android devices (check for OS compatibility) and gives date and time, as well as basic notifications - caller ID, SMS, and calendar notifications.
The pedometer and sleep timers work fine, it's water resistant so working out or showering aren't a risk, and it provides notifications without overwhelming. Note the integration to phone or tablet is pretty basic. It's NOT a smart watch that will take photos, edit information, control the music settings, etc. For me it's a bonus. I can see who's calling or read a brief text without obviously reaching for my phone, and that's enough. There's no killer app yet that (for me) justifies the expense of a full smart watch.
Note, plan on about 4-5 days on a charge. It comes with a special cradle/dock for charging - less convenient than a standard USB port, but better for water resistance - and charges in about 90-120 minutes. That requires a little forethought if you want to capture all of your steps or sleep time.

A low price point, works well for basic needs
on April 11, 2014
Posted by: Surakmn
from Minnesota
Reality check - you can find this on sale for as little as $40, it's not the same thing as a $500 iPad or Transformer. If you need high end performance plan to pay accordingly.
I have a full size tablet I use for work, I wanted something smaller that would fit in a pocket or purse while out socially, at church, etc. to be used mostly for ebooks with the ability to check email or a calendar once in a while. This fits the bill perfectly.
Set up was quick and painless. I don't use the reader it ships with, I installed Kindle, Kobo, Nook, etc. as well as Bible and hymnal apps without incident. I also added a free office suite (it ships with a trial version one of that requires subsequent licensing), Google Drive, etc. Strangely, it does not ship with a contacts manager, I downloaded one from the Play store and it automatically synced without incident.
I added an SD card since it only comes with 4GB, and I run all programs that are SD enabled from SD since it doesn't have a lot of RAM. It's not a speed demon, but it's responsive and reliable.
There are compromises at this price point, of course. The touchscreen is responsive but the resolution is mediocre at best. Battery life is adequate but just barely so. I would pay a little more if I wanted to run heavier apps or wanted to use it as a gaming device. But for my needs it's just fine.

HTC Desire 626s Prepaid Cell Phone for T-Mobile Prepaid: With 4G LTE speed and built-in Wi-Fi, this cell phone makes it easy to check your e-mail, browse Web sites and access social media wherever you go. You can also pair with other devices using the Bluetooth interface, which features NFC (near-field communication) technology and softcard support.
 

Can I use it with other service providers like ATT ? Will it work internationally?

This model is locked to T-Mobile. AT&T has its own model of HTC 626 for its own network. You'd need international service through AT&T or an unlocked phone with multiple SIMS

Does it have both front and rear cameras? Can it work in Trinidad and Tobago?

Has dual cameras. The phone is locked to T-Mobile, you'd have to check for local coverage in that area.

What's so great about this phone?

Compared to what? Within it's class it has a better than average screen and lower than average cost. HTC's Sense UI takes some getting used to, many people prefer stock Android. It's a well built phone and a decent value for the money but Samsung, Alcatel and Hauwei also make solid contenders in its class.

Data minutes

How do the minutes work for data/email usage? Is it one minute/unit per internet minute usage? Or does internet usage actual use minutes fast than talk?
Usage is metered by data used rather than time, it'll depend on what you're trying to do. Their website has some guidelines to estimate how usage will add up. Generally Tracfone's internet is fairly expensive and you are better off on WiFi where possible.

can i use this one or get a tracfone that has NO double or triple minutes? I only need a few minutes a week?

Husband needs a phone with only few minutes. He now has one that doubles every 3 months and has over 900 minutes. Don't know what to do??
Your best bet is to sign up with Tracfone's auto extend service which costs $5 or $6 a month and just extends the time 30 days without adding minutes. When the minutes run low add additional minutes which will triple and add 90 days, then as those 90 days expire the automatic extension kicks in again as needed. If you truly use only a few minutes a month that's the cheapest way to keep a phone active.
