Works like a charm.

The Best Buy team actually installed this for me, but the installation went smoothly. I had asked the installer how difficult it is to "unstack" the washer and drier, should I need to, and he walked me through how I would do it. Seems pretty straight forward enough. I have been using the washer and drier for about a month and I have had no problem with the stacking hardware. Very happy with my purchase!

Not a lot of magic with this particular item. It's just a venting system that carries hot air from the drier outside. The best buy team did the installation, and there were no problems that I heard. There have been no failures in the last month that I was using it, so I am pleased with my purchase.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

This is just a regular drier electricity hook up. Kinda bummed that it doesn't just come with the drier, but not to worry. I had the best buy team install this for me, so I don't even know that it's there. It's working and I'm happy with it.

Great Drier, but one design flaw.
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let ms start out by saying that I really like this drier. It's intuitive to use, the clothes come out very dry, the drier will spin the clothes intermittently if you don't pull the clothes right away (to keep them from getting wrinkled). I've been using this unit for about a month and I'm really happy with it.
The only problem that I have with it is a user interaction design flaw. We have stacked this drier on top of the washer. So, the big draw back to me is that it's really hard to see the digital output of the drier. I'm 6'4" and I can't see the top of it. (My wife is 5'4" and have to go on faith that the right things have been chosen.)
The better solution, in my mind, would be to have the control panel be "switchable" for if the drier is stacked or not. If the drier is stacked, put the panel below the door. If not, put it above the door.
Outside of that, really happy with my purchase.

Long wash times, but great options.
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'v been using this washer for about a month now and I really like it. The good stuff:
1 - It's stackable.
2 - Lots of room for large loads.
3 - A *bunch* of different configurations.
The bad stuff:
1 - The shortest washing cycle is 50 minutes or so. I think with my old one, it was closer to 25 minutes.
2 - You have to use a special type of laundry detergent. (The Symbol is HE - High Efficiency, I think.) As it turns out, I was already using this detergent, but kind of a drag and I didn't know about it until after I had bought it.
3 - There are lots of different modes. I'm pretty sure that I won't use all of the modes and I had to do a little digging the first time that I used it. That being said, it is nice to have all of the options.

SLOW camera.
on April 11, 2016
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this camera so that I could take it out and take quick pictures during vacation. However, the problem is that this didn't take any better quality or faster pictures than my cell phone (Galaxy S5). It take a *LONG* time to focus and then take an even LONGER time to be ready to take another shot.
The menus are not intuitive, and the inside pictures are pretty bad. (Which, to be fair, with this level of camera is never going to be good with this level of camera.)
All that being said, the pics that I did get actually look pretty good, with outside lighting. The flash works for dark pics. Would I buy this camera again? Nah. But now I have something to give my young son to play with a bit.

I bought this for my son (8 years old), and this was perfect. It is small enough to be easily transportable, and it runs Windows, so it very easy to use. The keyboard is the perfect fit for the little hands. Great product! !

Great hardware for the money!

I bought this as a replacement for a 4 year old desktop. Great investment! It automatically detects laptop versus tablet mode. The ssd is really nice to move files around. USB 3.0 ports are great. I was a bit worried about windows 10, but there is no problem. Because this is a 2 in 1, having windows 10 is great. The windows 10 store is definitely lacking, but it will get there eventually.
All in all, great product, great price.

Discover your perfect workout with the blue Fitbit Blaze. Designed to track and monitor every aspect of your exercise routine and key elements of daily life, this smart fitness watch lets you see exactly what you're doing and when. Link the blue Fitbit Blaze up with your smartphone and computer to see how you're performing.
 

Is this men's or womens?

This is a unisex device. It looks good on both women and men. :-)

I will say that it's a pretty big watch, so it might look better on men than women, but that's just a taste thing. (Be sure to measure your wrist for the band though. I had not done that and assumed that I needed a Large since I needed a Large with my Fitbit Charge HR, but I think that I probably could have just gotten away with a Medium.)

I am wondering why this Frost coloured phone price is lower than the other Nexus 6P phones. Does it have less features than the others?

I bought a graphite and a frost one on the same day (one for me and one for my wife). I have noticed no differences in between the hardware, outside of the color.

Is this phone compatible with google fi service?

Yes. I purchased this phone specifically to get on Google Fi network. Great choice!

(One thing to note is that when you do sign up for Google Fi, it'll take about a week to get to you. So, make sure to sign up before buying the phone or you'll be sitting on hardware for a bit.)
