Excellent Product

Verified Purchase:Yes
The iHome Alarm Clock/kRadio is very well constructed and functions very well and is ideal for Apple devices. This device has eliminated three separate charging devices as it charges my Apple Watch, iPhone and has a USB connection I use for my iPad. It is very handy and ideal for charging my devices before going to bed. The alarm functions are great and easy to set after reading the instructions. The audio quality is very good. The only thing to be aware of is the alarm tone volume is not adjustable and a little on the low side in terms of volume. If using the radio or iPhone, the volume can be adjusted to what ever volume desired. Having said that, I use the alarm tone and it has never failed to wake me but that could vary from person to person. The time is easy to read and has an adjustable brightness. Overall a great product, I think.

Great For Amateurs

I am a pro still photographer, but very novice in video. I video grandkids at school plays and such and use a Canon 70d. I wanted better audio than the camera's built-in mic could provide and this mic does that. A very noticeable improvement in sound quality. At a very affordable price, an excellent choice and highly recommended for the video novice. Also, no batteries required and very light weight and small enough to easily fit in camera bag.

The CyberPower is dedicated to my Router and Ooma. Appears to be well made and does work perfectly when normal power is lost and should provide decent surge protection.

Perfect Size - Terrific Phone
on July 8, 2016
Posted by: JWMac
from Overland Park, KS
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 64GB SE is a perfect phone for me. I am a fan of this size of phone and I was excited when the SE was released. As a former professional photographer, now turned amateur, I no longer carry a small point and shoot with me when I am without my DSLR. The iPhone's camera is that good for casual (grandkids, etc.) snaps. I am not a "selfie" user, so the lower resolution front camera does not make any difference to me, but might others. The phone is lightning fast for emails, internet, online banking, etc. and of course quality of phone calls and bluetooth function are also great. I sold my iPhone 6 when this phone was released and the increased performance is immediately noticeable. Not new for iPhones however, I do appreciate the WIFI calling mode. I live in an area that has a weak cellular signal and WIFI calling/texting really saves the day. For those of use who like smaller phones, I highly recommend this phone. I do note that I originally bought the 16GB model and found out quickly that 16 GB is really not enough and I exchanged the phone for a 64GB SE - I would recommend seriously considering the 64GB version over the 16GB.

Not Enough Memory
on July 8, 2016
Posted by: JWMac
from Overland Park, KS
Verified Purchase:Yes
The SE is a great performing phone. However, 16GB is simply not enough if you are a heavy camera user, especially 4K video and run a lot of apps. I found the memory was getting used up too fast in the couple of days I had it. At least for me, this was an issue. However, for a great phone at a very affordable price for those occasional camera users who mainly just use the phone for calls and texting, the 16GB phone might be perfect for and I do recommend the phone in this context. I returned the phone and exchanged it for a SE 64GB (which I am well pleased with).

My first HE washer, so this is my only experience with HE washers. Actually, I am very impressed with this appliance. My last washer was around 15 years old - the traditional agitator type and all I have known. This new HE washer is so far advanced in function and performance. I water saving is incredible. I bought the washer from BB in January and have done around 20 loads so far, from small to three quarters capacity (the tub is huge!) and have done everything from towels to business casual to denims and sheets and whites and socks and underwear. The garments come out very clean. The little water the machine uses to accomplish this is a little concerning at first compared to the gallons agitator models used. However, my clothes are cleaner. The small amount of detergent is uses is impressive. Out of 20 loads, I have had one error code - actually more of a information code that the machine was re-balancing the load - and it did! I have gotten better at distributing the clothes more evenly now and have not had this issue is the last 18 loads. I would like to comment the same as others have - this machine needs to be balanced on installation - my installation was not performed correctly in this regard and that could have contributed to the cause of the one error code I had. But this review is about the appliance, not the installation side. I bought this washer on sale along with the companion dryer at a wonderful price, so decided to get the BB in-home extended warranty as I have no idea what the longevity expectations on this new appliance might be. Just a personal decision, I know. So, I am not a washer/laundry expert, but I am very impressed with the appliance. The water savings is just wonderful - many selections for different washing scenarios, a custom programmable function you can tailor to your preferences, huge capacity with the ability to do very small loads on speed wash (grandkids sleep-overs, etc.). And, clothes are clean!! (Yes, it is very quiet compared to agitator models).

I bought this dryer when it was on sale at BB in January this year and have done around 20 loads (dried). So far this has been a terrific appliance. The sensor dry function works wonderfully. Clothes are perfectly dry and I have many different settings for different drying scenarios as well as a programmable setting I can custom tailor for my preferences. I bought the companion HE washer with it and together with the high speed spin function, clothes are dry in minimal time - no question of appreciable energy/cost savings. The lint filter is large and easy to clean - I like the light in the dryer too! It is the best dryer I have ever had and I certainly recommend this appliance. I can not comment on the longevity however, but since it was on sale at such a great price, I went ahead and bought the BB in-hoe extended warranty (strictly a personal decision).

A Terrific Solution For Me
on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a sound system for my new 4K TV and did not want to run speaker wires, nor did I want a wireless subwoofer due to wifi and wireless security camera interference issues. I also wanted quality sound. For me, the Bose Solo 15 was a terrific solution. From general TV sound to grandkids xbox games and for my movies, the sound is rich, spatial, clear and has great fidelity. Of course, this is not a 5.1 surround sound device, but for those of us who are tired of wires and wireless interference issues and are trending toward simplicity - I think this is something worth checking out. It is so simple to install, can be used as a stand-alone or as a TV base and has HDMI and Optical. The Bluetooth function is flawless (I use it for Pandora). Something to keep in mind, the product is designed with front and side sound delivery and I would not consider placing in a TV stand compartment that is closed on the sides. Of course, Best Buy never questions returns other than asking if anything is wrong with the product, so that makes it easy to try it at home and evaluate it for yourself. Not everyones answer, but it worked out quite well for me and I highly recommend at least considering this product!

Absolutely Ineffective

Verified Purchase:Yes
This item made absolutely no difference in the strength/performance/quality of my cellular phone. I read the manufactures FAQ's and guidance from their product site and I tested the product at home, at various locations throughout the city, inside buildings, etc. before returning the product. I thought it might be too good to be true....... and it was!
