Great Dryer Good Price
on December 28, 2016
Posted by: The1Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes
Performs very well. Nice feature with door opening from either side (when hinges are changed) and also from the top, swinging down. Shoe dryer rack must be purchased separately and suggest careful online search for best price/availability. Manual is a little tricky to use the part number given for the rack, since it seems to cross reference to a Sears (LG equivalent) model.

Picture really excellent - the 'S' in SUHD
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: The1Mike

Verified Purchase:Yes
This replaces my 2012 UN55ES7500 which had a great picture, and I really liked. And yet, I can say there is definitely a 4 year increment in performance and quality in this TV. Set up went very well, for cable box, Galaxy S6, home theater 5.1 interface, Wi-Fi/router for internet and my network media access. Streaming video is really excellent. I am also running (on different floors) a UN78HU9000 and a UN55JS8500 for comparison. Unpacking really goes better with (at least) 2 people - special notices are provided to assure you don't get your fingers on the screen. This TV is wall mounted, so the 51 lbs. is appreciated when lifting it up to the bracket - also, the dual corner legs are very handy for lifting the unit up to the wall mount since they pop right off when your done. This really helps avoid touching the screen in the process, as well as avoiding the power switch/menu navigation button on the lower right.
The curved screen is a very nice benefit for this size and larger. As usual, I am having fun getting used to the new remote and menus. Still hoping for an accessory wall bracket, or other means, for mounting the One Connect box to a wall or cabinet.

Easy set up, Fast data, & Great media streaming
on September 6, 2016

Worked great on initial startup, and the range/speed at the extreme areas of the house seemed to improve even more over the next few days as if the 'beamforming' was adapting to the usage and environment when devices were activated. Example was the smart TV at the farthest area in the house came up OK the first day with a low, but usable signal, but after that the 'bars' on the network status started to read almost full strength. Same for portable/cell phones in that area.

Effective dual configuration tool for cleaning

Steam unit detaches for use as a hand-held steamer which does a great job on tile grout and many other things. Several different brush attachments make it very versatile. Very effective floor cleaning, especially in the kitchen and around the cooking areas.

Had a 4 TB EX2 since March 2014 with great performance and results and excellent WD customer support. Ultra version exceeds the 2014 version in almost every aspect on my local network, and personal Cloud access on Samsung Android devices, as well as Samsung Smart TVs, Denon and Marantz devices on our local Neatgear Nighthawk 3200 network.

32 channels for downloading and 8 for uploading

SB6190 works like a champ, and glad I got it. Had a SB6141, which it replaced, and found later I didn't have to as described here. Suspected 6141 had gone bad due to being kicked off line every night. Problem turned out to be the Airport router, and new IPv6 address standards recently implemented (Feb-Mar 2016). My IP called me after I told them I bought SB6190 and still experiencing problem; and told them it was their service. They advised that I make adjustment in IVp6 Airport settings to 'local only' in settings, which fixed problem. Was told Apple would be putting out firmware update to fix all Airport routers (soon). So, would still recommend 6141, too. Kept it for backup. Sorta hacked at Apple, though, not sure if newer Airports had/have same problem. Mine was from 2012. Using Apt Extreme and Apt Express as extender. Both IVp6 settings were adjusted, and everything is hunky dory.

The Pad is the best way to go

Had the old Palm cordless charging pad (long sago and far away) and glad Samsung finally brought the design back for the S6. Much more convenient than the wire hook up and no wear and tear on the connector jacks. Very cool lighting shows status.

Had S3 (mine) and S4 (wife's) and were very happy with them. Ran 'way beyond contract and finally wear and tear caught up with us.
Glad I finally moved on to the S6 Edge.

No detectable distortion or diminished low light performance. Used with the Canon 70D and 18-135 zoom. Recommended for lens protection from impacts, dust, air born liquid (spray, rain, etc.). Good value and price.

The Grootiest

Loved this in IMAX 3D. I don't buy very many movies - only the ones worth seeing more than once. This one is a permanent, good-time drama-humor with so much going on you can't catch it all in one pass. If there is a sequel (and it looks like there will be) you can be all tuned up before you go (muhuhaha 'secret' ending). Maybe Groot will get a more complex dialog in the next one. Plus, there's the bonus 'Guide to the Galaxy', 'Intergalactic Visual Effects', 'Marvel's Avenger's Age of Ultron', and the ever popular 'Gag Reel.' Hilarious with cool effects and fun sci-fi to the max..

Do you have to use distilled water or will softened tap water work? Can you add anything other than water in the solution?

The manual recommends distilled water. Water contaminants will clog the steam nozzle, which is applicable to the question about additives. Spray cleaners like 409, etc. on the extreme dirt areas of the floor or surface before steaming. then hit it with the steamer.

Is the hard drive capacity per drive, or total? This is 8TB 2 Bay. So does it have two 8TB drives or two 4TB drives?

Two, 4 TB drives, 8 TB total, second 4 TB backs up auto the first 4 TB drive. Different ways to configure - User manuals available on line at WD and Best Buy. What's nice is that you get free 30 day toll free customer support at WD, that really works, and they really help if you get hung up for some reason. (Not to short change Best Buy Geeks, but the WD 'horse's mouth' has certain advantages, since they are specialists in WD MyCloud).
