Stainless Steel Fill Hose Upgrade
on July 24, 2016
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I highly recommend upgrading from the standard rubber hoses that are included with the washer to this Stainless Steel hose set! They have a much higher burst pressure rating & are far less likely to leak!
While you can buy a similar set at The Home Depot or Lowe's, if Geek Squad is delivering & installing your washer, they are not allowed to connect to hoses not supplied by Best Buy. Since they are competitively priced, just buy them at Best Buy!

Meet your newest laundry ally—LG's ingenious SideKick washer. Disguised as an everyday pedestal, this mini LG washer pairs with almost any LG front load unit so you can wash two loads at the same time. The main tub is the workhorse taking on your biggest, bulkiest family-size loads like towels and bedding, while the SideKick gives delicates, hand washables and workout wear the special care they deserve. With this LG pedestal washer on your side, you can divide and conquer your laundry—and the rest of your day—like never before.

Brilliant Design & Engineering!
on July 24, 2016
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The SideKick is an absolutely brilliant engineering design! It adds 1 cubic foot of wash capability, and is a stand alone, separate washer. It is whisper quiet, ultra high efficient & can operate simultaneously with the main washer, or on it's own.
It cleans the clothes thoroughly with no drama or difficulties, no leaks, loud noises or smells.
This is a gorgeous machine in Graphite Steel. LG is the only company that had the brilliant idea to offer a stand-alone Washer below the main washer on the market today.
I love how it plays an upbeat tune instead of the old BEEP, BEEP! of our other appliances!
Only one complaint: The SideKick remote control has not been released yet. It should have been included with the washer, rather than sell for $29.95 after the sale.
Other than that one complaint, it stays balanced, sips energy & runs quiet & true!!

This LG is the most innovative Dryer on the market today with steam, Sensor Dry, 14 Presets & so much more! It is a perfect compliment to the matching LG Washer.
It dries the clothes thoroughly with no drama or difficulties, loud noises or smells.
This is a gorgeous machine, with the controls & expansive display on the door. It is the quietest Dryer on the market today.
I love how it plays an upbeat tune instead of the old BEEP, BEEP! of our other appliances!
Only one complaint: The WIFI sets up but on iOS devices, all you can do is to turn the machine off, once it is running. iOS was clearly an afterthought, in fact the instructions state it does not support Apple iOS. This is inexcusable for a product that lists for $1,799.
Other than that one complaint, this Dryer stays balanced, sips energy & runs quiet & true!!
This Dryer (and the Washer) measures 29" wide, so you should measure your laundry room door & any other access doors to be sure you have 29" + clearance for this Dryer! (Same for the Washer!). This is the #1 reason for this appliance to be returned! It simply does not fit many houses! In fact, the Washer & Dryer I bought were sold & could not fit in the door to someone's house. I bought them both NEW as Floor Models!

If you plan to hang a 70" HDTV, this bracket is a great choice. The strength and stability are beyond reproach!!

Wirelessly connect multiple TV's to 1 HDMI Source
on August 23, 2013
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an easy to set up way of connecting 1 DVR to 2 HDTV's, maintaining full quality to both TV's.
The only negative was the distance was considerably less than advertised. Quality falls off with distance. I found 100% quality at 20 feet range. 30 feet and the picture would occasionally show deterioration. Over 40 feet, forget it. Picture was junk.
I felt the product was overpriced, but kept it, as there are few valid alternative devices to expand HDTV to 2 TV's simultaneously. And you can buy an extra receiver, so 3 or 4 TV's can watch the same program.
It serves a good purpose, as long as both TV's watch the same program. That is the only option, of course. The remote extender works well, so either TV can change DVR channels...

Solid 5 Device Remote with Easy Set-Up
on August 23, 2013
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Logitech is a solid performer for basic systems. Unfortunately, 5 devices is not enough for many set-ups. For example: TV, Receiver, Blu-Ray, Apple TV, DVR. That's it!! Sorry, can't add the future XBox One or PS4. You already exceeded the device limit!!
The display is very clear, set-up could not be easier. The remote is shaped well and fits in your hand beautifully. The Back Lit Buttons are fantastic! Gently shake the remote and the buttons illuminate.
Bottom line: I am keeping it because it works GREAT - even though my XBox cannot be turned on because of the device limit of only 5.

Stunning ELITE HDTV elevates the 1080P standard!!
BUT...
This HDTV is DISCONTINUED!!
Pioneer sold their ELITE division to Sharp & worked with Sharp to produce a THX Certified show stopper. If you have opportunity to pick up this HDTV as a demo, do not pass it buy!!
Color, contrast, 5 HDMI Inputs, THX Certified both sound & picture, every imaginable feature, & WOW!!! The Picture is Stunning!!
This is the only LED TV with contrast ratio matching Plasma, without the heat, shorter lifespan, higher power consumption & memory issues of Plasma!
Internet content most enjoyed: I enjoy YouTube the most, but actually prefer the interface of Apple TV, so I use it exclusively through this TV.

APPLE TV - SIMPLY, THE BEST OF THE BEST
on January 11, 2012
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I use it in...:Large home
100% dependable, no-fuss means of sharing your iTunes library to any HDTV
Very large buffer means perfect, no-drop-out signal even in the slowest WIFI set-up
Works equally well between Mac and PC
Light years ahead of Google TV (which I also own X 3).
I use 3) Apple TV's, source from the same computer on different HDTV's. Each can display a different movie, photo stream or music simultaneously, as the other Apple TV's. All 3 can even watch the same movie at different parts within the movie at the same time!
Slickest Netflix Interface, too!
Low cost device.
Fully controllable by any iPhone or iPod Touch running the free ap: "REMOTE".
What's great about it: Reliable, Sharp Image Quality & Dependability!! Fun to use! Killer Price
What's not so great: Requires HDMI input on TV. Cannot use with older monitors through discrete component terminals
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Buy is doing a great job of stocking Echo Show in virtually every store by Mid July, and yes - the $100 discount if you buy 2) applies in the shops (the $100 promotion is why I just bought 2) Shows).

The Amazon - Echo Show -- is that instead of, or in addition to, the regular Echo?
Echo Show is instead of, or if you prefer, add this to a different room as Echo. They are stand alone devices. Both are unique, excellent devices. One has a screen, which opens up so many new possibilities...

It works directly out of the box. All you need is a WIFI connection.

can you use echo show & amazon echo in the same room? do they need to be used together? What if you all ready have a echo, do they work together?
You surely can! I am using Show, Echo & Dot in the same room, but I plan to move Echo & Dot to another room, because Show takes care of the entire room nicely.

No, you can choose only one screen saver photo at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon might upgrade the firmware to accept multiple photos in the future, however.
