I have bought several of these now, one for me and they make great gifts. There really isn't a comparable tablet in this price range. I don't love Amazon's controlling interface that keeps you from downloading what you would with a regular android. Otherwise it works well for all my uses and for those I have gifted with them. I highly recommend them for the under $100 price range tablets.

Reliable all in one printer

For the price this is great. I have tried several other brands of similar priced printers in recent years and like this one best. It does photos well and of course prints what I need well. It's straight forward for setting up and changing ink cartridges etc. I do recommend it.

I love the fitbit blaze. I went from the fitbit charge HR to the blaze and love many of the new features and it tracks sleeping and steps so well. I am enjoying being able to switch out the bands to get a less sporty look (see photo). I love the face choices, though I like the standard one best as it looks most like a regular watch face. I don't love the charger, but other options are available. The only issue I have is that it is not as good as the charge HR was with syncing reliably. Every couple of days I have to mess with it to get it to sync correctly again. I hope they will fix this in updates. It is the reason it didn't get 5 stars.

For the price this is a nice phone with good specs and I would recommend it. I do have an issue with it concerning the sd card. I have always been able to move apps to the sd card on android phones and that seems to be blocked on this phone. That unnecessarily limits the apps I will download as I don't want to cripple the phone with time. If this is a software lock it should be removed. If I am mistaken and someone can explain why I am not able to do it I will give 5 stars.

Love it! And the delivery was excellent.

The delivery of our refrigerator was excellent. They had to remove the front door and take out our old one. They wore slippers and protected our carpet and were fast and professional.
The refrigerator cooled to the set temperature quickly and is running very quietly so far, which were two concerns I had based on some other reviews. The space is amazing after a side by side fridge/freezer. I will update if things don't go well but so far we love it!

I'm very impressed with how well it works and the ease of the menus and I was very pleased when I discovered that the android app allows you to do voice searches on Amazon and to use the keyboard for other entries.

Internet Connectable?No
This is our first big screen TV and we are very happy with it. I was unsure about the Insignia brand, but the reviews were good. The picture is beautiful and the sound is excellent. I knew from the description that it only had the 2 hdmi connections, but that is really the only thing that I don't love about it. It's only been a few days, so if anything changes I will revisit the review. At this point i have no hesitation in recommending it.

Great for the price

I got this for my son who uses it for multiple addresses for his work. So for him the best feature is Multidestination routing that 'lets you plan a trip with multiple stops in a specific order or selects the most efficient route for you.' It is his first experience using a GPS and he found it very easy to learn and use.

TiVo Mini: Access all the entertainment from your main TiVo DVR anywhere in your home with TiVo Mini. Watch live or recorded shows, manage your recordings, search for shows and movies and stream entertainment for a seamless TiVo experience in any room.
Posted by: TriciaN

I read the reviews, before buying the mini, so I knew it would drop the signal too easily which it does a couple times a day, but it is super easy to resume where I left off. I also knew the set up might be a bit tricky. I have it set up wired through my dsl router. Once I got it all connected properly it wasn't too bad to set it up.
Between live TV and recorded shows I use this for several hours a day and it works very well. I am very happy with it's functionality and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be able to watch Tivo in two rooms if they don't mind the monthly fee.

TiVo Roamio DVR: Packed with powerful features, TiVo Roamio serves up both cable TV and streaming in one device. Schedule TiVo to automatically record your favorite shows, up to 4 at once, for entertainment at your convenience.
Posted by: TriciaN
from Phoenix AZ
I used to have a Tivo that didn't work with my antennae when we got rid of cable after the digital change. I finally upgraded to this one and I love it's improved menus and features. It is so good to have this functionality back but working with my antennae. I never feel tethered to TV schedules with Tivo. I also got the Mini so I can use it in two rooms and this works very well.
Other than not having all the features of the other Roamios on the one that works with antennae and the long set up process, the only other thing I don't like are the Tivo suggestions. If I spoke Spanish I would be happy to have it record multiple Spanish language shows recorded each day, but I don't and I really don't want TV that I'm not interested in to be recorded either. I thought it might learn from what I delete or watch, but it doesn't. I wish it allowed me to set parameters for what type of shows it could record as suggestions.
But other than having to delete a lot of silly stuff, I love this machine and recommend it to anyone using antennae TV.

If you hate Windows 8, you may love Windows 10 as it gets rid of some of the most irritating aspects of Windows 8. I hope you give it a try as I think you will enjoy your new computer more with it.

price match went well
November 23, 2015
The price went down by $100 a week after I ordered it and Best Buy matched the reduced price when I called putting $100 back on my account. I love the refrigerator and the service has been excellent!
