What captured me in the store was the above TV on display. The picture was so clear and vibrant. This resulted in my comparing every other TV I looked at to the Sony. Since Best Buy offered free delivery and set-up, I was "sold" on the purchase. The sales staff was terrific at answering my questions and helping me through the process. The TV is in my living room which is a very bright room (mostly windows). This has not negatively affected the picture quality at all. I also discussed a sound bar for the TV but ultimately decided against it. Because of the sound system intrinsic in the TV, I have good quality sound. The TV was set-up by a technician from Best Buy and he explained the remote and the features for the TV. After a few practice sessions, I found the TV easy to use. I considered the purchase of a new TV a major purchase and I think that this was a great choice. I have had the TV for almost three weeks now and cannot identify any negative aspects of it. The addition of "RGB" has really set a high standard for the picture quality. I have owned Sony TVs in the past and look forward to many years of enjoyment with mine.

We were a little hesitant about spending the extra money for the Speed Queen but we saved by purchasing an open box machine that looks pristine. Some reviews said that the SQ TC5 was noisy but we think it is quieter than our old Kenmore, especially, on the spin cycle. I like the extra rinse feature to get all the soap residue off the laundry because as we get older our skin is more sensitive. Some reviews say that the TC5 is rough on fabrics but my wife puts anything delicate in a washer laundry bag and we've had no issues. Some reviews also say that the 3.2 CF capacity is too small but it suits the 2 of us very well as we have washed some sizeable loads including bedding with no issues. The TC5 seems to wash clothes so quickly that it is usually done before I go and check on it. The open box TC5 that we purchased was matte black so we thought that we would have to get a matching colored dryer. We may do so someday but our old white dryer works fine s o we found some matching matte black appliance paint and highlighted parts of the dryer to match our new washer. (see attached pic)I never thought that I would enjoy doing laundry but I actually do enjoy using this TC5.

The one feature I wanted was keyboard backlight lighting. Weird that most laptops in the same group don't. Keyboard is great! One feature I don't like is not enough USB ports, like most laptops now. So I had to buy an Insignia at Best Buy that has 4 more ports. I just tried to upload a picture. A bit challenging selecting a picture from my folder. I then tried dragging the picture to Images. Nothing happened, but after 5--9 seconds it was here.

Our 2 1/2 year old KitchenAide refrigerator developed a condensation problem by the ice maker. Geek Squad came out to diagnose the problem and determined that we needed a new door for the freezer. Unfortunately a new door was not available and the only solution was to get a new refrigerator. Luckily we had a 3 year service plan that we purchased when we bought the original refrigerator so we were able to get a new fridge. Of course they don’t make our model anymore so we had to upgrade at additional cost. The new model KitchenAide is also a “counter depth” size. The specs say it has a little less cubic feet than the old one but the interior layout allows for plenty of storage. The shelves in the door hold double the bottles and jars. We have only had the refrigerator for a short time but are very happy with it so far.

I purchased the "My Best Buy Plus Yearly Membership" because I purchased a Sony 85" TV. I already have a 65" Sony TV that I purchased at Best Buy but I wanted a bigger size to make a theater room. I am enjoying my 85" TV which has great sound and picture quality. The Plus Membership is very important to purchase because it gives you key perks in addition to the warranty. I am planning on upgrading to the "My Best Buy Total Membership. I love my Sony TVs and I am getting ready to purchase another Sony TV. I want to thank Best Buy for providing a great selection of Sony TVs with great prices.
