Fluke?
on May 28, 2017
Posted by: sunshineguinn
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to return this item as there was, in my estimation, some damage either to the keyboard or the contacts the keyboard attaches to the screen with. I did ensure all updates were installed and further investigated/researched the issue and that was the consensus. Could have been a fluke, but as it was my first-ever refurbished product and a negative experience, I ended up purchasing a new item (same model) and all seems to be well. Very thankful to Best Buy for making that transition smooth.

Great little laplet!

Powerful enough to get the job (and a little gaming) done on the go, light and thin enough to get there easily. I love how versatile this type of product is. I can read comics and sketch around on it one minute, then slap the keyboard on to grab my daily achievements in Guild Wars 2 and complete a project proposal the next.
My only reason for keeping one star off this review is the battery life. I can get a fair amount done on one charge, but more time is of course always better. This would be less of a problem if the cables used to charge this product weren't so gangly, but it is something I can work with.
Be sure to acquire all your operating system and driver updates immediately, as there are some vital ones you'll need to have your machine running smoothly right out of the gate. And ditch that bloatware!

The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

Letdown
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: sunshineguinn
Verified Purchase:Yes
As someone upgrading from a second generation Apple TV, I was not expecting said upgrade to be so unpleasant. At the time of the upgrade, I was technically looking for a gift for my mother, who I had given my 2nd gen Apple TV to a few years ago. While her hatred of the touch pad on the remote is a matter of opinion, some other features are more plainly negative. For example, while in the Netflix app, searching for Orange Is The New Black brought us into the iTunes Store so we could purchase the show. A ridiculous action, compounded in absurdity since we could freely watch OITNB with our already paid for subscription to Netflix. Thankfully, Best Buy's 15-day window allowed us to exchange this disappointment for the Roku Premiere, which I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a great streaming media player. For those of you used to streaming from iTunes to your Apple TV, check out the free version of Plex to pair with your Roku.

Easy to use,

What a delightful change! I'd had a second generation Apple TV for ages, passing it along to my mom after a handful of years. She enjoyed it for a few years herself, but when it became apparent that the device was finally too old, we looked to the fourth generation of Apple TVs. What a nightmare that turned out to be. I then did some research of other devices, and Roku won out hands down. This model in particular, Premiere, was the best option for our budgets and our needs, so both my mother and I have one now.
Roku gives you much more freedom. It does not shove you into a store app when you search for something. When my mother briefly had the 4th gen. Apple TV, searching for Orange Is The New Black from inside the Netflix app brought us to a purchase screen in the App Store. Ridiculous.
Roku also offers you a variety of ways to view content from your personal computer. I use and recommend Plex, which has a robust free-to-use version of their product that should suit anyone's basic needs. For users migrating from iTunes, you can have Plex simply copy your existing library. Your biggest hurdle will only be the simple task of familiarizing yourself with a new interface.
The Roku smartphone app is handy as well. So far my only qualm is there are occasions when, if I am using the personal audio feature via headphones, the audio will occasionally cut out. It can be annoying, but it is infrequent and it is a feature I use sparingly. If you anticipate using this feature on the regular, you may want to do some research on that hiccup before making a decision.

This Nintendo Switch console includes the Joy-Con detachable controller and can link with other units for multiplayer adventures.

*Nintendo Switch click noise*

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a lifetime Nintendo and Zelda fan, I couldn't wait for the release of this console. After around 200 hours of use, my only complaint is reaching the (-) button on the left Joy-Con is a bit awkward, requiring me to reach over or around the stick. I do hope we see more travel-friendly charge adapters in the future as well, though I personally have not traveled with my Switch very much (so far). Battery life in the Joy-Cons is awesome; I had a many-hours marathon of Breath of the Wild and where I would have had to swap controllers at least once on a Xbox or Playstation binge, there was not even a battery level warning the entire time. Console battery life performed admirably as well; more limiting, of course, but certainly long enough to get things done on the go.

There's only one problem.
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: sunshineguinn
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first dehydrator and while I am still getting the hang of using the item to its fullest potential, I can certainly assert that I am pleased with my purchase. After doing some research I knew digital controls were a must to ensure the temperature was correct. I originally thought five trays might be a bit excessive for my needs but, as it turns out, having the additional space is fantastic, if not necessary! And I love the tray accessories. Finally, I have to mention how pleased I am with the item being cool to the touch during use. As a klutz with a smaller kitchen, this could potentially be a lifesaver. (Literally.) My only problem is making sure the dried mango makes it from the dehydrator to a container without interference from my mouth.
For my purchase, Best Buy provided me with a price match to Amazon.com, which made this deal even better!

CAUTION
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: sunshineguinn
Verified Purchase:Yes
The bundled software caused my computer to experience a kernel panic. Once uninstalled, everything was fine. So while I recommend the product itself, I do not recommend using the software. The drivers have not been updated since their Windows 7 days and it's unnecessary bulk to begin with.
Otherwise, this adapter works as expected. I have only experienced one connection issue but suspect there was interference from a neighbor in my building. I do wish the signal stretched through my entire apartment, but I was aware of the distance restrictions prior to making my purchase and have made it work to suit my needs.
For those interested, I primarily use this item with a JBL Charge 3 speaker.

Hi! Is the plastic BPA free?

I can't relocate the specific quote now, but when I was researching this item I did see that there was no BPA in the "food zones" of the product. I took this to mean that some of the outer portions may contain BPA but no part of the product in contact with any food items has BPA.

Does it come with recipe book?

The product manual comes with great guidelines for how to dehydrate different fruits and vegetables, as well as how to make jerky. As for specific recipes, however, there are only three (3), each being a different variety of jerky.
