Minimal difference from the mini8
on August 26, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
There does not appear to be any major difference between the Mini8 and Mini9 except for a close-up attachment/selfie mirror. That said, the Mini8/9 are still a great way to get analog Instax photos with all of the charm and immediacy of instant prints.

Great popcorn flick, superb 4K UHD HDR demo
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was too old when Power Rangers had their TV run, however I gave this movie a chance based upon the trailer. Having seen this in the movies and then picking this up as a demo disc with true 4K HDR (filmed on RED Digital Cinema camera, 4K digital intermediate) and support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision, this movie definitely gets better on second viewing.
The online reviews have it accurate in that it's a bit too adult for kids, and a bit too simple for adults. However, if you just treat it like the storyline behind a roller coaster or ride at Disneyland, you'll enjoy it much more.
As a demo disc, this really highlights the strength of wide color gamut and HDR.

Overpriced, but what can you do?
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
At the moment, Arlo Pro is the only HD wireless security camera with subscription-free cloud based recording by a major company. Consequently, it's no surprise that Netgear charges a premium for this item. This is the price of convenience. If the item were about $20 cheaper, I would bump this up to 5 stars.
This includes another charging cable and AC->USB adapter. These are not necessary given that most Arlo Pro users already have these items and/or the dedicated charger. Breaking the AC adapter into a different SKU could drive costs down.

Ensure ample power for your security cameras with this Arlo Pro charging station. It charges two Arlo Pro batteries at once, and it has fast charging technology to get your cameras operational quickly. This Arlo Pro charging station includes a power cable, adapter and quick-start guide so it's ready to use right out of the box.

Get high-definition television reception with this ClearStream Eclipse digital antenna. Attach it to any flat surface without hardware, as its exclusive Sure Grip technology makes installation easy. This ClearStream Eclipse digital antenna is portable for use at home and on the road, and it picks up signals within a 50-mile range.

Sure Grip is a gimmick. Solid antenna
on July 31, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
The amplifier is the difference between getting NBC or not in San Francisco. Compared to the unamplified "Leaf" Metro flat antenna, I was able to get more consistent results with this antenna+amplifier.
The Sure Grip is supposed to a sticky 3M-Command-like adhesive. While this may work on windows, it does not work well on drywall. Given the price of the antenna, this is a disappointment.

Finish laundry faster and more conveniently with this Maytag front-loading dryer. Use its time-remaining indicator to plan your household tasks, and enjoy the Tap Touch controls to program the desired drying cycle. This dryer's automatic control ensures that clothes are dried at the correct temperature setting. This Maytag front-loading dryer alerts you when the cycle is completed.

Quiet, effective. Best Buy door install issues
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This dryer works really well and will automatically add extra time if the moisture sensor suggests that. The steam refresh works very well even though water rather than actual steam is what is placed into the dryer drum. The drum is not stainless steel though.
Only criticism is that reversing the door from opening to the left vs. right is somewhat complicated with removal of an inner/outer door. This is done by Best Buy's installation team, but there was a piece of styrofoam/hair that made its way between the two panels. It's possible that opening it up to clean it out will also introduce new dirt/debris -- just a bad design in my opinion.

Take on heavy loads and tough stains with this Maytag front-load washer. The 4.5-cubic-foot capacity provides enough space to wash 29 towels in one cycle, and it has the extra cleaning muscle of the PowerWash system and a steam option. The Fresh Hold option on this Maytag front-load washer keeps clothes ventilated until ready to put them in the dryer.

Quiet, excellent spin extract. Door issues.
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
From the actual washing performance, the Maytag does superbly. The higher end models have a built-in detergent reservoir, but this has a risk of mold, so this is the true flagship model. Washing performance is good with a smooth spin cycle. The amount of water extracted from this washer during the spin cycle is impressive, although bedding is still a challenge (there is a bedding mode).
The only criticism I have of this washer is that the door only opens on the right, with the hinge on the left. It cannot be reversed. The door also feels flimsier than one might expect.

Small battery backup for internet gateway

This is great for providing basic battery backup for the network gateway (cable modem or DSL modem) and router. For a smart home, such a battery backup can be essential.

Domke makes one of the best camera bags
on April 23, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This F-5XB is a great travel bag for carrying a small mirrorless camera like a Fuji X-Pro2, X-T2 or smaller or point and shoot digital camera. There is room for an extra lens/flash or accessories.
The military green version is a Best Buy exclusive and actually is the very best version since there is minimal Domke branding and the strap is a leather strap. Thus, the Best Buy version is actually the highest-end version.

Great Best Buy exclusive
on April 16, 2017
Posted by: GXAlan
Verified Purchase:Yes
With Disney not on the UHD Bluray bandwagon yet, 1080p is going to be the best that we can get. Between this and the Target exclusive, the Best Buy steelbook is the way to go. The extra disc from Target is DVD (not Blu-Ray).
