This product is amazing! It saves you money and makes it simple to adjust the temperature via smart phone or Google Home! "Hey Google - Set Temperature to 72º . Okay!" No need to get up in the night to change the thermostat! I got a rebate for the Nest from my power company and also got a $50 gift card for signing up for their Rush Hour energy program! Get one! It is easy to install and simple to use!

I had some initial issues with my install that prevented the technician from completing the job, but he came back the next day with all the parts and did an incredible job. I highly recommend Best Buy and their installers!

Viking makes professional equipment for food service, so this machine is designed to be tough. It is simple and elegant with stainless steel inside and out. You hardly know the machine is running - it's very quiet. The interior light is very helpful as well.

Excellent lens if you only want to carry one!

This lens is what most people will want to take on vacation if they want to pack one lens. The wide angle is more than wide enough and the zoom is longer than most. Optics are great and I use this professionally.

Great for light use

I like this machine! The screen is bright and the Chrome OS is a solid performer for what is designed for. Do not expect to do heavy photo editing or other tasks a regular computer can. Printing is a bear. You cannot simply hook up a printer and print. Cloud printing is still more complicated than it should be in my experience. I can print from my iPhone to my printer, it should not be this hard!
What this is great for is writing, web browsing, video and music streaming and some social networking. The touch screen works well. If you have a Google account and have been using Chrome for your web browser, you have very little to learn. You get cloud storage from Google so the small amount of drive space isn't as bad as you'd think.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Great device! Really useful!

The Echo is like the iPhone when it first came out. It is something you don't know you want/need until you get it and then you realize you can't live without it! Alexa is quite good at voice recognition and once you get it set up, you can: play music on demand, get weather, news and traffic info, order items on Amazon, control connected devices and much more. I am an Amazon Prime member and opted in to the Amazon Music service. What a treat to ask Alexa to play a specific song or only a certain type of music on demand. So much more I am still discovering. "Alexa - Connect to Bluetooth" is also great. The Echo is great sounding on it's own as well. Buy them on Sale and give them as gifts!

This range is just the right mix of value and function. It looks great and having the fifth burner in the center is awesome! Best Buy installation could not have gone better. Professional and efficient crew did a great job!

Alarm wont set after asking "Hey google, set alarm for 7am" It says its set and then says "there was a gliche, try again in a few minutes." Not sure what to do?

That is a Wi-Fi problem! Check your internet and Wi-Fi to make sure it is connected.

My insignia just stopped...no alarm, no time display, no speakers, no Google assistant. I tried unplugging& then resetting. I updated my Android aps & internet is working..now what? was there some update that crashed?

I know Google had an outage with their Assistant platform a few days ago. You may want to exchange it! Could be a bad power supply if nothing lights up. Check your Google Assistant app to see if it shows up!

Sony G Master FE 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS Full-Frame E-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens: Handle everything from sporting events to wildlife photography with the built-in image stabilization of the Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS camera lens. Set up long-range shots, and capture incredible detail with the F2.8 telephoto zoom and 0.25x maximum magnification. The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS camera lens is coated with Nano AR to reduce glare on outdoor captures.
 

Does this lens work with the Sony A6000 mirrorless camera?

Yes, it does! It becomes a 300mm because of the crop sensor on the a6000. The aperture remains ƒ2.8. It is a big lens so you will want to carry by the lens. It is heavy but works exceptionally well. Good solution for video because of the ƒ2.8!

Pristine images and easy wireless content are yours with this Sony 55-inch 4K LED TV. Ultra-high-definition imagery is assured thanks to the 4K resolutions, and you can find content for this TV using the smart media player and integrated Wi-Fi. Four HDMI inputs ensure you can connect this Sony 55-inch 4K LED TV to a variety of consoles and devices.
 

Are there slots in the back of the TV that allow you to mount a soundbar on the top of the TV with brackets?

There are no slots for mounting the sound bar on the back of the TV. You can mount it on the wall beneath the TV. The sound bar uses an IR remote but can also be controlled by the TV. The only mounts other than for the stand are for a VESA mount for the TV. Hope this helps!
