I bought this computer for my daughter and she loves it, however, after purchasing seven months ago, it's dingy on the outside, almost a shade darker than beige. It's difficult to clean it and maintain; it's like it pulls in dirt from whatever is around it. When I open the laptop it takes almost one minute to connect my wi-fi. I don't know why it does that. Also, I was trying to do an Excel spreadsheet assignment, I could not complete it because does not have the F1-F12 keys sometimes you have to use those keys for inputting formula shortcuts. And my daughter loves to draw but she was disappointed that there is no drawing tablet that can connect or plug-in to a Chromebook. Other than that, it's a great computer. Oh, lastly, it's frustrating sometimes when typing, my finger will slip and press the Google search button.

Even if you assemble this grill carefully, air will still escape causing you to continue putting more charcoal in it, resulting in overcooking or under-cooking your food. We will try wood and see how that works. The thermometer works okay, not great, I am thinking about replacing it. i found one at the blue hardware store for about 8 or $9. Small price to pay, I do not mind. Looks great, we get compliments on how it looks all the time, however, cooking wise, we are still working on it. At the bottom it asks would I recommend this grill to a friend, YES, only if they were familiar with this type of grill and knew how to grill.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1: Whether you need to stay connected to a busy world while on the go or you just want to relax and watch a movie, this tablet becomes your portable multimedia companion. The 10.1" HD touch screen is great for video streaming, casual gaming and Web browsing.

I thought I would use this tablet sporadically: WRONG! I use this tablet ALL THE TIME. I couldn't decide which to get, this or the iPad Air. I bought both and return the iPad. There are some videos I cannot view and some games I cannot play because Adobe did not renew their licensing agreements, that is why some tablets have it and some do not. The case was on sale SKU 9597134 and I am glad I bought it, I can go two or three days without charging it! If you have a Samsung phone or another Android device, you will love this tablet.

Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.

I purchased this product because Roku costs about $100 and I wanted a similar product but at a lower price. First, Chromecast is simple to set up, just download the app, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, and you will be ready in no time. Secondly, it is easier to view and share YouTube videos when company comes over and we can all view it on the TV than everyone huddling over a tablet or phone. Thirdly, when I was in the store to purchase my Chromecasts, I purchased 3 month HuluPlus gift card SKU 3232044 for my mother, but I redeemed it instead because her Internet is out. Third, since I bought two Chromecasts, the second is used in the kid's room and I can monitor what they are viewing because the Chromecast app can control more than one plugin. I am sure it can control three on one app because I will another purchase another one this week. I keep taking the kid's Chromecast when they are sleeping. Finally, this device comes in very handy when there is nothing on TV!!! Enjoy!

I watch a lot cooking shows and bake, especially around the holidays. Now I understand why so many chefs and cooks have this "helper" in the their kitchens. It is heavy, first of all, it is not as loud as I thought it would be. But what I love most about this "miracle from the kitchen gods" are the attachments. I can go from mixing or stirring to grinding deer meat for sausages. It's a "second pairs of hands" both my husband and I can use. Also, he loves to show off the grinder SKU 3888207 and stuffer SKU 9749154 to his hunting buddies. I have not made homemade pasta before but owning the "best thing since sliced bread" I am very much tempted to purchase the pasta maker. The value and everything that does and can do, depending on whether or not you purchase the attachments is totally worth it.

I have been looking for kitchen appliances in red for two years. When it was time for me look for a red coffemaker, I looked on the this website for pricing, the reviews, quality, and how well this coffemaker would match my kitchen decor. First, the price was affordable for a RED coffemaker and I received 2X bonus points, a plus. Two, the other reviews were accurate, if you read some of the reviews carefully, some people nitpicked over the smallest things about this coffemaker, but I digress. The coffeemaker keeps my coffee and tea HOT!!! Also, it shuts itself off after two hours which is great because I do forget to turn off my coffeemaker. Finally, after I bought it, everyone loved my coffeemaker!!! Who compliments someone about their coffemaker? Yes, that's how pretty this appliance is!!!

I was snared by the price on this TV. You can't beat $499 for a 55" TV but unfortunately it didn't work for me. However, it may work for you.
I'll start with the good. The price and size are great. The picture is bright and crisp, it looks amazing after having a 40" Sony Bravia for 3 years. The sound was on average for TVs these days. The remote is well laid out and the menu was easy to navigate. The internal digital antennae picked up 7 channels more than our Sony does.
GAMERS** I did not experience any lag from the 120hz picture processing while playing online with FORZA or Battlefield on my XBOX ONE on a Friday night, though once I did have a large section of the screen's shading and texturing go black where there was a lot of graphic detail going on with blowing and burning debris on BF4. I only got in about 2 hours of game play before I packed the TV back up and returned it so I would need more time before I gave the TV a thumbs up for gamers.

I only got in about 2 hours of game play before I packed the TV back up and returned it so I would need more time before I gave the TV a thumbs up for gamers.
Now for the bad and why I am returning this TV. I was already overlooking the fact that it only has 2 HDMI ports but the deal breaker was that I was unable to connect my Vizio sound bar. And I tried everything. I read the manual and the troubleshooting tips, I bought a 1 Male to 2 Female RCA Adapter, I adjusted the digital sound settings from within the menu, I adjusted the settings on my sound bar and tried each variation with it plugged in both with and without the adapter. After hours of tinkering and buying an adapter I still was unable to get sound through my sound bar. On another note regarding the port section: the space is pretty cramped. Since most people will be using every port available you will need a skinny fingered accomplice.
I have included pictures with my review. Before we went to pick this TV up I had spent some time reading reviews and looking for info on it. I was unable to find pictures for the back plug-in port area so I am doing you all a favor and providing them for the next researching consumer who comes along. ;)

I love this TV. However, I could not connect my Sony home theater system to it SKU 8417061. I could not call the RCA customer service because I could not find their number. I do not want to return it because we bought it a good price. I even tried to Google how to set up the surround system but to no avail. My husband wanted his surround sound on for the Super Bowl, and I was on the phone with Best Buy during most of the Half Time Show for help, but it didn't work. The sound from the TV is a good 5 out of 10.

Insignia is Best Buy's own brand. It is it's high end brand. So is Rocketfish and Dynex.
