Best Express Inn Durant Ok (2024 Updated)

I’ll I can say is WOW! I finally found the perfect foundation for me! It’s been many many years struggling with acne (adult acne) and sensitive combo skin. Almost everything makes me break out, is too pigmented or drying on the flaky parts of my face, or is too hydrating and just slips off in others.

This month alone I’ve been buying, trying, and returning countless foundations, BB creams, CC creams, and tinted moisturizers. This one takes the cake! I check every product before I use it (reviews and by each ingredient) to see if it’s safe for me and this one passed the test.

It goes on flawlessly, can easily be built up for fuller coverage (plus the concealer, which is also amazing) or lightly patted in with a wet sponge for light medium coverage. I hate make up that looks like it’s make up.

This stuff is like a second skin and has just the right amount of sheen to it. It also doesn’t settle into my fine lines over the day. Just make sure to lightly set with a powder or setting spray. And oh, the color match!!! I have never been able to find a shade that works for my fair skin.

I finally did with the color Breeze. I freaking love this stuff. My only complaint is that I wish it had more SPF and that their was either more in the bottle or cost less.

I found it really hard to figure out what shade to buy since they all look so similar in my shade range, but I don’t think I made a bad guess. Out of the foundations I’ve bought lately, this is the best match.

Usually I have the problem that the foundation is too dark and/or orange for me, and this one doesn’t cause those issues for me. It also doesn’t irritate my skin. I love and use many Clinique products for that reason.

I have dry skin, so I wish this was a touch more moisturizing, but it’s definitely not bad at all and I will likely repurchase. I typically use a serum (Sunday Riley vitamin C), Clinique’s yellow cream, then Clinique City Block underneath this.

The coverage goes a long way and it’s quite buildable. I don’t have a lot to cover, so this makeup is good for my needs. It doesn’t feel super heavy at all, but it also has a bit of substance to it so a little goes a long way.

I’ll sometimes accidentally squeeze out a little too much and it then takes me a while to blend/rub it all in (especially around my hairline), but the finish is really nice. sort of a soft matte and nice and natural.

The extra SPF in here is a bonus that makes me happy!.

Even Better Makeup is my favorite, Holy Grail foundation! I am shade Fair, and it is a perfect match for my light, cool-neutral skin tone. I am 40, and starting to gravitate to more anti-aging products, and this foundation is one that any age can wear, in my opinion! This will be my one and only from now on.

It gives me such a youthful, smooth look that isn’t overly “made up”. I am combo/oily-skinned, and this doesn’t dry me out or make me look too shiny; it’s perfect- just nice, smooth skin! I tried the Even Better Clinical foundation and returned it, and went back to this original formula- in my opinion, the more matte look that one offers isn’t flattering on aging skin.

I instantly noticed that I look more youthful with the medium, natural coverage that this original Even Better foundation offers. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone! Thank you, Clinique! Please always keep this foundation around, it looks like a lot of people love it!.

We have a small farm with a very long, and large, gravel driveway. We use this once a year to control grasses and weeds that grow in the gravel driveway as well as controlling grasses around our barn, under our trees, and on the sidewalks.

This also knocked out poison ivy in a few spots if applied thick enough. Combined with a Stihl backpack sprayer, we couldn’t be happier. For mixing, add water slowly as others have suggested. It will foam with fast water flow and can overspill if not careful.

When applying, we walk backwards and spray in front of us to prevent walking through the chemical. One bottle/container covers everything we need. We’ve applied annually for the last three years and have noticed less and less return growth.

Results are noticed in a few days.

I purchased this product on 5/13/22. I have a spine problem so I had to hire a yard man to come out and spray my beds. The fisrt visit he charged me $40. I watched as he sprayed well the entire area.

On the bottle is stated: visible results in 3 hours. I went outside in 3 hours and nothing! No results whatsoever. I went back in 6 hours. and Nothing. I continued looking for a couple of days to no avail.

It did not kill any grass or even the tiny weeds that were visible. I called the company after several days, and the customer service rep checked and returned to the phone stating it might take up to 2 weeks total.

I waited longer and then had the yard man come back and respray to no avail!. This time he charged me $60. During that time it was very hot, dry weather, and the weeds should have died by then. I saw a tv ad yesterday for this product which stated, GUARANTEED RESULTS OR YOUR MONEY FULLY REFUNDED.

! I have now spent $100 to spray these few weeds and grass + a total of $17. 17 for the spray, making it a total of$117. 11. Today it has been 2 wseeks adn 1 day, since he first sprayed with no results!.

I have used Roundup on my property for about the last 5 years. I like the product but there are major issues with material. When I bought my first container with a sprayer, it worked very well. I used it immediately after purchasing it from Home Depot.

The next year I still had the spray container, so I purchased the refill container and the material worked fine. I also needed more material and I bought the super concentrate so that I could mix my own material At the end of the summer I had used only half of the material, and so I kept the spray container with the product in it in my garage over the winter.

My garage doesn’t freeze, since it is attached to the house. The next spring, this year 2021, when I tried to use the sprayer, it didn’t work. I opened the container and found that the product had jelly lumps in it and therefore they were clogging the fine openings in the sprayer.

I cleaned the sprayer and screened the product. When I sprayed it on the walkway weeds nothing happened. The material had lost its potency. I read the labels on the containers carefully and found no mention of self life and also proper conditions for storage of the material.

So I bought another container of Roundup with a sprayer on it. The newly purchased product worked wonderfully. However, I needed more, so I made a new mixture from the Super Concentrate that I had purchased two years earlier.

When I used it, it did not work at all. So there is a self life to the super concentrate. That really troubled me, because the Super Concentrate cost about $73. 00 when I purchased it. So my questions are twofold: 1.

Why is there no statement on the containers that state there is a self life associated with the product; and 2. Why is there no expiration date printed on the container. This is really a lack of sensitivity to the residential customer.

I finally wet on the web and read a lot of reviews. The jelly effect isw known and posted on various sites, but the RoundUp website does not give one proper storage conditions. Further reading lead me to a statement several layers deep into the RoundUp website that the shelf life is 4 years.

That is a meaningless statement, since they do not give you the storage conditions used to develop that number. When a residential customer buys the product from a retail store, there is no indication as to how old the product is.

And for the residential user, that has stored the material along with other gardening materials, there is no way of knowing the effectiveness of this product. The labeling and instructions really need to be vastly improved.

As a final note, I have read many of the reviews posted here. People who use the product when it is potent, get excellent results. But other individuals present information that indicates that they have product that is past its shelf life and found that it does not work.

As a result the distribution in ratings is bimodal.

I bought the bambino and have been using it for a little over a month now and everything was going perfectly. It made the best espresso and the milk frother added the best touch to all my lattes. I have been using the same espresso that I have grinded for me at my local coffee shop and everything has been working great.

Then one day it stopped working and the espresso would not pull at all. I tried everything (descaled, factory reset, different coffee beans even though the ones I was using had worked perfectly, less espresso, don’t push coffee down as hard) and nothing would work – the portafilter would become jammed in the machine and then once I was able to get it out it would steam everywhere and basically explode.

So, I called customer service only for me to be on with them for 25 min to tell me that I had to buy a grinder and grind my own beans. They stated that they recommended buying your own grinder even though it says that no where on the website.

I’ve tried three different kinds of espresso and wasted a lot of money for them to tell me to simply buy my own grinder. I am very disappointed in Breville and worried that if I don’t buy their $200 grinder then nothing else will work for me.

While I recommend this product because it has served my roommates and I very well for the last month, I am extremely disappointed that I unfortunately have spent $300 on this machine and now feel like I have to buy a grinder that is almost the same cost as the machine.

If I would have known this, I would have considered buying a machine that has a built in grinder. Unsure what to do now – but be expected to buy a grinder if you want to purchase this machine.

Had the Bambino for about a week and it is an impressive machine. I was debating whether to go all out on a more pricey espresso maker but I simply wanted a capable one that has a lot of versatility.

I don’t want to go into the espresso affianado zone. That being said the Bambino is more than capable. If the final product is the proof, then this crushes the competition for this price. At first I was a little put off when I saw how small it was.

I know it’s a “bambino” but I didn’t think it was going to be a serious machine. But considering I do not have much counter space left, if it worked, this could be great. My first espresso shot was less than passable.

To be honest it sucked. I tried again a few times with different methods and still it was barely passable. So I did a little research and found that grind size, amount, and compaction make a big deal.

I bought an inexpensive Grinder and gave it another shot. It turns out the grind size for my setup needed to be coarser. As it all depends on what sort of basket you are using and how well the water flows through it.

Not all machines are the same. As soon as I fixed the grind my shot was great! The taste was so much better. After making more espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos, I was very impressed. The steamer by the way is great as well.

I highly recommend you watch a tutorial online as I am steaming Oat and Almond milk like a pro. When you get the method and amounts correct you can repeat them and the Bambino will do the rest. Espresso making is not as simple as it first appears and even on a high end machine it is not automatic.

Do some research online and experiment on what works for you. However, I can say that the Bambino is a fantastic buy and I recommend it for any espresso and milk based espresso drinkers.

Product is perfectly fine; flavor is good and coffee is convenient to make for seniors. It’s the only coffee my husband will drink, he drank MH brewed for years now MH Instant is his go to one and only.

The problem was with the package. I have my groceries delivered and the jar was just covered in something God awful sticky. Like whoever put it in the bag for delivery didn’t feel that? Or was it already on their hands? I had to wash the jar in warm soapy water before I could store it in my cabinet.

Product on sale and of course this is the only one available. I was asked to come back the next day and I did but unfortunately the shelves were still empty and Mr Personality (at the 10th street store in Philly) while unloading some boxes decided it was easier to tell a Senior Citizen to walk back later instead of going to the back to grab me a few even after knowing I was at the store the day before!!! I guess he didn’t have to see his mother walk 14 blocks both ways so what does he care! So much for CVS’s empathy towards elderly! Pathetic!.

This is an excellent instant coffee that I have been drinking for over 50 years but for the past year have not been able to find at WalMart where I have been shopping for the past 30 years. I have tried other WalMart Grocery and also superstores in neighboring states but they don’t have it anymore either.

They do have other Maxwell House products but not the Original Roast Instant. I only drink 2 cups a day and this has always been ideal because then I don’t have to make a whole pot and throw the excess down the drain or keep it hot all morning.

I am forced now to go to other “out of the way” grocery stores that do carry it and pay an exorbitant price. I am retired and on pension but am not ready to give up my Maxwell House Instant coffee. The other instant brands that WalMart carries have a bite to my tongue and not the smooth taste of MaxwellHouse.

Please talk with WalMart and get them to carry my MaxwellHouse Instant again so I don’t have to go elsewhere to purchase it from Kroger or Publix. I buy everything else on my list from WalMart Grocery and don’t want to spend the extra time and effort to go elsewhere–but I will to get my MaxwellHouse.

As much as I love the k-cup system and Keurig’s refined way of creating beautiful coffee makers, I have returned to the ugly old fashion coffee maker that doesn’t give me problems and last years and years.

I attempted to have my FIFTH (5) Keurig in a short lapse of 2 years and half. Things usually last me more than the average person because I take good care of them but somehow that has not been the case with Keurig’s coffee makers, that’s how I know that their machines are not worth the investment as they are poorly made.

Each one that I have had experienced different types of problems. From doing weird noises, not warming up the water, not wanting to brew or release the coffee, etc. This new model I bought worked fine for just 2 days! I turned the machine off a couple of times to reset the system but she refused to make 10 oz size, and from experience I knew I was going to go through a bunch of issues again.

Please be adviced that if you have problems with the machine within a year, the manufacturer will send you another coffee maker but is a REFURBISHED one that will give you trouble until it dies. Their life span can range from 2 days to 8 months, at least that’s the experience I have had with them.

It’s so sad because they are so pretty, but they will frustrate very much. Avoid them at all cost!.

I bought this as a birthday present to myself. I love keurigs. This one is by far the best one I’ve had or used. It’s so much quieter than any other keurig. And it’s a cute color and unlike most carrots and actually has the ounces that it will create with each button on it which is also super convenient.

If you’re looking for one, I strongly urge you to grab this one. The only downside is it only comes in red or teal blue so if it doesn’t match your kitchen. but I’m telling you it’s so worth it. And for the price, I ended up paying less for it then I thought by a landslide.

Not to mention the fact that the brand always come with lifetime warranties. If you’re looking for a single serving coffee maker that you can rely on I’m telling you grab this. The vibrating noise is almost non-existent on this Keurig compared to all the other big ones.

Your coffee cup also doesn’t vibrate. You won’t regret this purchase as it’s an investment for a machine that you will have for the rest of your life. My mother has a Keurig from when we were younger.

She got it when I was in either middle school or high school it’s like right when they came out and they costed $100s of dollars. Like 400 to 500ish type money and she still has that keurig. And just to give you guys some idea I was born in 1992 and I graduated high school in 2010 and the machine is still working as if it was brand new.

Invest invest invest if you are a coffee, tea, or hot cider drinker. I’m telling you it is worth it. And if you don’t feel like spending money on k-cups. The machine also allows those K-Cup filters to go into it perfectly fitting.

Because I use K-Cups but at the end of the month when I’m running low on cash I do use ground coffee or sometimes I just prefer my flavored ground coffee anyways so I have a couple of filter pods to go into my machine as well.

This was a seamless purchase. The Keurig coffee maker is everything we needed at a really reasonable price. It has a reservoir that holds enough water to allow you to make sequential cups of coffee without having to refill the machine with water, and it has three choices of how much coffee to make.

It is very accurate. I have not seen a simpler machine to assemble or use. As best I can tell, the only difference between this Walmart version of the K-Express Essential Keurig entry level machine and another nearly identical Keurig K-Express model that I got for a second home a few months ago on Amazon is that the other one makes up to a 12 ounce cup of coffee whereas this one makes up to only ten, and the other model has a setting for stronger coffee, where the Walmart one does not.

However, the Walmart one was $20 less, and the feature on the other model were not worth the price difference to me. The ordering process on Walmart was simple and Walmart delivered the product a day earlier than promised, which I appreciated.

Crest 3D Radiant Express strip are a great way to remove stains from your teeth and improve the whiteness. The product claims to improve whiteness levels in 14-days which it will if you’re able to use the strips consistently for that period of time.

Peroxide is the method of choice here, just like at the dentist. I wouldn’t recommend these for someone with super sensitive teeth, my teeth are somewhat sensitive and I needed to use the strips a few days and then back off for a day or two.

Still, in a two week period I could see that the coffee and tea stains I’ve collected since my last cleaning were being brightened a little at a time. The product does offer a warning about tooth sensitivity, and most people using this product will already understand that peroxide has this effect.

The other caveat is that the strips only work on natural teeth, they won’t have any effect on crowns, dentures, or veneers. That said, the strips are easy to use, they fold onto your teeth and have just a slight peroxide taste which becomes less noticeable throughout the hour the strips should stay in place.

The product suggests you not eat or drink anything but water while these are on and definitely no smoking. I found it best not to have a conversation with anyone during this time because I drooled somewhat, and sounded like I was 6-years old again.

This hour is perfect for meditating, working, or just waiting for the whiteness reveal, it’s not the best time for a Zoom call. Overall this is a nice product to have in between dental cleanings to keep your teeth looking whiter and ready for your close up.

I was bewildered when I opened my package delivered to me just today. I wasn’t sure which set to use – the Professional Effects or the Supreme Bright – and still don’t know what is the difference. The packaging was a plain cardboard box with the Crest logo inside the lid (see pictures).

I read the back of both of the packets to try to figure out the difference, but they are basically the exact words and ingredients – no helpful information – just warnings. I could find no instructions on the packets, nor on or inside the box, other than “Peel, Apply, Reveal.

” Not exactly helpful. How long? What details? It seems I remember folding them up and behind the teeth, as well, from previously using them years ago, but did I remember correctly? The design has changed over the years and my memory is waning.

I went to their website, crestwhitesmile. com, and did find **some** more instructions: 3 easy steps to a beautiful, whiter smile: Peel Whitestrips from backing Apply firmly to surface of teeth Reveal your whiter smile For Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects: Use once a day for 30 minutes.

— Ok – so I got the amount of time you’re supposed to leave the Professional Effects on. And somewhere in their negative reviews, they did respond to someone and included the remark to fold them to the back of the teeth.

So I did remember something correctly – but that is still nowhere to be found in this ‘generic’ shipment of them. And I am still wondering for how many days; and what about the Supreme Bright? This packaging also makes me wonder what the expiration date is on them, and the only hint is the stamp on the packet: (L)1256V441.

Maybe that has some code that they can decipher, but that is useless to the consumer. Because I have successfully used Crest White Strips before, I am giving it a rating of 3 stars, in spite of only receiving them today and not having a chance to see if they are going to work for me.

However, the suspect packaging, lack of better instructions, and question as to whether these are already expired or not is making me drop this down a couple of stars. Perhaps after using them for a week?? I will be able to update my review.

(But I still don’t know – do I use all 20 (20 days)? A week seems reasonable. ).

I was excited to try the 3D White Whitestrips with LED light as I never tried this combo before. The directions were easy enough to understand and I placed both strips on my upper/lower teeth and set a timer.

Once it hit an hour, I immediately applied the light. The whitestrips were comfortable to keep on and so was the LED light. The strips were a bit difficult to remove but not that much. After the first application, I felt some pain/sensitivity in my teeth and that continued for a day.

I took one over the counter painkiller and that helped a lot. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use them again but I read in another review that someone recommended drinking water right before to wet the teeth a bit, so after a couple of days, I tried them again.

This time I had no sensitivity and that was the result as well for my following applications. I did notice a marked difference in my teeth after the 3rd application. Personally, I don’t like using these every day – just to ensure that I don’t have that sensitivity again, though the water trick seemed to work.

Also, they’re a bit of a pain in terms of planning when to use them – ie not too close to brushing teeth or drinking coffee. But otherwise, they’re a great alternative to a professional whitening.

After debating on whether to take the plunge on a full featured espresso machine like this one or go for something cheaper/simpler, I could not have had my expectations blown away any more than they are after using this machine.

I am a novice when it comes to making coffee (went from a nespresso to a couple of french press/pour over methods but never felt like I got the taste to match or surpass getting something made at a coffee shop).

This Breville machine made it feel like after a single pour, I was an expert. Setup was straightforward enough – they include a handy quick setup/reference sheet that helps you get through the initial steps and perform your first extraction.

The box includes all of the pieces you should ever need to clean/maintain your machine (except for disposable products like filters and descaling tablets). Operating the machine is super straightforward, and what helped me the most is that on the back of the quick setup guide is a nice tuning guide that helps understand what to do to get the best extraction you can get.

In total the machine has so many customizations that you can get super crazy dialing the machine to a specific bean that you are trying to brew. After reading through the manual, cleaning/maintenance of the machine also seems doable.

After dialing the machine in to get a good extraction, both my girlfriend and I were able to enjoy our favorite starbucks orders from the comfort of our own home, and they actually tasted better than when we order sometimes! tl;dr – A fantastic fully featured espresso machine currently $200 less than anything comparable.

While I don’t have the most refined palate, this machine has reviewed really well in terms of its taste. I’m incredibly happy with the price of this product, the quality it produces, the money I’m going to save by not going to starbucks every morning, and the fun I’m going to have learning how to make world class espresso.

It makes a good shot of espresso! I’ve had many of these, what I call “fancy coffee” machines. I paid more for some, less for others. I used to move often and it seemed every move, my fancy coffee machine would break and start leaking inside (probably due to freezing).

Well, now I’m settled permanently (I hope), so here I go again. This machine is still pretty new to me, and although I like the quick convenience of a “pod” type coffee maker, when I can devote a few minutes to crafting a really premium coffee beverage, this machine delivers.

The pros: looks nice, fairly sturdy build quality with lots of metal, heats up pretty quickly, recovers quickly between shots, really nice heavy high quality porta-filter, contains a VERY, VERY nice grinder that is precise and consistent as well as compatible with bean hoppers from Breville’s stand alone top-of-the-line grinders, handy inside filter storage and magnetic tamper storage, single and double wall filters supplied, nice ball-jointed frothing wand, but best of all this machine is VERY customizable.

Single and double-shot volume is adjustable, grind size and volume have lots of adjustment range (also manual volume control by holding the porta-filter in), brew temperature can be customized over a range of several degrees, and bean hoppers can be unlocked and removed (swapped) with beans still inside.

The frother works fine but I usually use a separate induction type frother. The cons (all very minor): It’s a little messy. It spits a little when brewing. To dispense a full dose into the porta-filter at my preferred grind setting (3), there’s some spill-over, even if I shake the handle a bit during the grind.

I don’t think this can be avoided in anything other than a super-automatic machine and I hate cleaning those things. I deal with this by reducing the grind volume by half, tamping it down, then grinding in the other half.

The porta-filter comes with a dual-outlet nozzle, but I never brew into two cups. Sometimes I want to brew into a very small cup, but the dual nozzles won’t both hit it. If you unscrew and remove the dual nozzle, the porta-filter won’t sit flat and level on its own while tamping.

This is a minor annoyance. It doesn’t have provision for a direct plumbed water supply (I know that’s a big ask, but it’s what I want). Overall: I love this machine. When I’m not using it, it sits there looking nice.

When I use it, I realize how good coffee can be. I hope it long outlasts its warranty.

I really do like this machine, and though this is a new machine, it replaces another just like it that we’d been using since October 2011. Consequently, we have 10+ years of experience with this model.

The design is well thought out, from the magnetic tamper holder to the “Empty Me” float on the water collection tray. The one complaint that I had with the previous machine was that the grinder did not grind fine enough to get a good shot with the single-wall filter–but I fixed that by shimming the lower burr with a washer.

This newer version of the machine has an adjustable upper burr and does not have that problem. Thank you, Breville! Between my wife and I, we typically use the machine to brew 2 to 4 beverages per day, so it gets plenty of use.

The water reservoir is adequately sized (in my opinion) and with where we have the machine placed on our countertop, it is easy to refill without removing the reservoir or moving the machine, though removing the reservoir to refill it is very easy.

The controls and buttons are well placed and operation is easy and straightforward. My wife uses the double-wall filter basket but I like to play Barista with grind and tamp control to see how well I can do with the single-wall basket.

This machine will let you do both. And I am happy with the steam wand and frothing with this machine. I think this is a versatile, good looking appliance to have on your countertop if you are looking for an Espresso Machine.

I purchased this unit to replace a Roku 2, which was getting a bit long on the tooth. The Express 4K plus is a basic device, albeit one capable of playing 4k content. It comes with everything one needs, the power cord and brick, an hdmi cable and the Roku voice remote, which also includes power, volume and mute controls for your television.

Setup was quick and easy, guided by an included quick start guide. After powering up the device, you are prompted to set up your wifi connection. You then log onto your Roku account if you have one, or set one up if you don’t.

The device then downloaded a software upgrade and loaded all the apps I’m currently subscribed to. That was the longest part of the process and only took a couple of minutes. I did have some issues at first, with HDMI error messages.

Suspecting that the issue might lie with my television, which was older and only had HDMI 1. 4, I manually set the display resolution to 1080p and the issue vanished. I would expect that actual 4K televisions would not have the issue as they should come with HDMI 2.

0, Performance is excellent, even Peacock loads quickly. I love the voice remote, it was very easy to hook up and connect to my television and all of the shortcut buttons are current. This is a more basic device, but one you can use to experience 4k programming on a 4k television.

It does require an HDMI connection to the television.

This player is junk. Barely lasted the 30 days before acting up so badly I had to constantly power it if and on. Of course it’s beyond the return window at this point. Player constantly lost internet connection, would randomly crash and so on.

Remote would double press functions when tapping a button once and seemed very poor quality. Tried factory reset, software was up to date, power cycled, no luck problems would always come back. Unit would run hot as well which probably contributed to the problems.

Used all cables supplied with unit, internet signal strong on every other device on the same shelf even stated strong on this device yet would still drop connection all the time. Just a bad product from Roku and should not be sold in my opinion.

I threw the thing in the trash as it is beyond the return window at this point. Don’t waste your time or money, pick a different product. I also own the Roku 4k stick and that stick and remote work just fine with no problems.

I purchased this product directly from the Roku website and was given a doscount, should have been free with all the issues it had.

The information about this device does not indicate 2 key issues: (1) the device must be “activated” online before you can use it (2) you must create a Roku account supplying an email address and your CREDIT CARD INFO in order to activate it! You cannot use this device at all, even if you do not want to use Roku streaming services or purchase content, without giving a credit card number and email address! So, even if you only wanted to use this to stream from a service for which you already have an account, you can’t do that unless you also create the Roku account and give Roku your credit card info.

This info is not included in the description. I also did not find it on the Roku web site when I researched the product before purchasing (even using their Before You Buy page). It’s not even on the box.

NOTHING indicates you must have a Roku account and give them your email address and credit card number. I even read the fine print on the box. I didn’t discover this was needed until I started trying to set up the device.

You get to a set up screen that says to enter your Roku account information. and it won’t continue without that. I started looking into creating a Roku account and discovered the credit card requirement.

Once you try to create an account on their web site, you can find an explanation of why you must provide payment information, and buried in there is that you need this account to activate your device: “A Roku account gives you access to an amazing selection of movies, TV shows, music and more from the Roku Channel Store.

You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across thousands of streaming channels. ” As you dig further, you can eventually find this: “There are no fees associated with creating a Roku account, but you will be asked to provide a payment method (e.

g. credit card) to set up Roku Pay. Having a payment method linked to your account allows you to purchase subscriptions for channels and services available through the Channel Store, add Premium Subscription on The Roku Channel, rent or buy movies and TV shows, and purchase Roku device upgrades, offers, and accessories.

” Setting up a Roku account even requires your DOB and gender! If you search online, you can find references to ways around the credit card–a somewhat hidden link to “skip and add later,” but that is apparently old information.

I went through the process (without finalizing) and the “skip” option I’d read about never shows up. You do have the option to use PayPal, but that’s essentially the same thing. Bottom line is you must give Roku lots of personal and payment info just to use the device, and nothing in their product description (or on box) says this.

I have 2 on in my bedroom and one in the livingroom and 80% of the time it’s a guessing game if it will or will not work. I’ve contacted support I’ve gone through your help list even Google searched help.

I have to unplug are you ready my roku device from my TV all the cords then I have to unplug my TV from all it is hooked up to wait 5-10min sometimes longer and that’s still no guarantee it has fixed the problem, not to mention I have to reset my Roku devices yes both it happens to both devices I’ve gone through several HDMI cords cause the one it comes with only works maybe 2 or 3 times.

So in order to use either of my devices the error message keeps telling me I need a tv that support HDMI, My TV has 3 HDMI PORTS all 3 work just fine and MY BLU-RAY PLAYER work PERFECTLY and the quality of Video and Audio a million times BETTER than that of yes BOTH my ROKU devices.

This is quite the pain in the “Buttocks” (I’m trying to be polite). If this is how it’s got to be then I’d rather pay for CABLE SERVICE and throw away these ROKU Devices. Have to say it I fell for the hype of free tv but at what cost my SANITY??? Not sure what I’m going to do about this yet but cable is sure looking good right about now!!! SMH and it’s every ROKU I’ve tried not just the 4k+.

So my boyfriend and I went to the grocery store this past weekend and next to my normal blue dawn dish soap was the four time platinum dish soap so I told him maybe I’ll buy that instead but I thought wow it’s more money for a smaller bottle.

So I bought it anyways because I wanted to see if it worked any better than the Blue Dawn which the regular blue dawn works Great. So I was washing dishes a couple nights ago with this soap and I thought I love the smell of it I think it’s the fresh rain or something like that.

So I put it in my pan that the blue dawn would work but I used to have to scrub even harder than what I just did the other night with this four times Platinum soap. I came back to it an hour later and everything was lifted and up to the top of the water I was like holy crap are you kidding me this stuff works amazing.

So the next morning not even thinking about it I went into my basement and we have been having a lot of issues with our wash tub and the drain in our basement floor with the water backing up and we really didn’t have the money to call the plumber because they said the next time they would come out it would cost us between 5 and $600 or more depending on what they had to do.

My boyfriend and I three weeks ago when we started having the plugging issues we bought some plumbing stuff and some of it seemed to work just a little tiny bit but not much and I’m not going to put any other brands out here even though it’s all plumbing stuff It seemed like the last thing we used worked a lot better but the water was still going down in the wash tub very slowly still but it was moving a little faster but our floor was still backing up and we couldn’t understand why.

Anyways to get to the main part of the story here I had used the Dawn Platinum for all of my dishes the night before And when I left the water go into the sink to drain it made a weird noise and I was like what the heck is that again not questioning it.

The next morning I went down to do a load of laundry and all of the water that was on the floor was down into the drain in the floor and the water was down 6 in into that drain and it hasn’t been like that in over a month.

So me being the savvy cleaning person that I am I put down a quarter cup of baking soda 2 cups of vinegar along with probably three tablespoons of the dish soap and let me tell you that water coming out of the drain is not black and sludgy anymore and the water is staying down.

I’m definitely going to do a review of this dish soap on my YouTube channel because when I find something that is my go-to that really works I want to put it out there because I’m an honest person and if something doesn’t work I’m not going to write a review on it or take my time to make a video on it if it’s not true.

I’ll give my honest opinion about something but I’m not going to boast or brag about something that works when it doesn’t. Thank you Dawn for saving the day. You do not know how much money you saved me by buying a $4 bottle of dish soap.

I love the original Blue Dawn but I’ve developed Multiple Chemical Sensitivity during the past 8+ years due to overexposure to fragrances & man made scents. I understand the use of alcohol in your product fumes but they’re are practically intolerable.

I tried a different brand altogether – “the juice of one whole lemon” was used in their adverts to give you a hint. it seems they’ve started to use lemon essential oil in their dish soap. You can’t rinse the feel off unless you stand there for 5-10 minutes trying to rinse the slimy feel off.

Fragrance-free means just that. It’s not the same as unscented which usually means a masking fragrance has been added to cover up the chemical smells. I’m honestly considering the use of baking soda to wash my dishes, pots, utensils, etc.

from now on. I honestly don’t know why people want some flowery smell clinging to their hands or washed items. It’s like the folks who use plug-ins in their kitchen. It’s oil droplets that help the stink get released into the air.

We breathe it in, our kids and pets breathe it in and after years of use, it leaves a film on everything. Maybe I missed one of your fragrance-free dish soaps but I’ve yet to find any on my local store shelves.

Get rid of the fragrances. Please!.

I have been the queen of cheap dish detergents for way too long. Suds that only last for a few seconds, ineffective cleaning, thin, watery liquids – enough already! Someone actually gave me the Dawn EZ-Squeeze, and the difference is astounding.

I just left a container of dirty dishes soaking in Dawn while I went to my basement for about 15 minutes. When I returned, the mound of suds was STILL there. That was impressive! There has never been a doubt that Dawn cleans better than other dish detergents, and that is still the case.

Now, on top of all those compliments, I can add the thrill of a lid that isn’t messy. I’ve been pouring dishwashing liquids into other (pump) containers, but they all dribble. Between that and the caked goo that always forms on other dish detergent containers, I had pretty much reconciled myself to accepting this unsolvable problem.

SOMEONE at Proctor and Gamble came up with this brilliant new container, the EQ-Squeeze. (By the way, mine doesn’t leak at all and is easy to squeeze. ) He or she deserves a big promotion. What a wonderful invention this is.

Until this bottle wears out, I intend to buy refills and transfer other bottles to this one. Thanks for bringing me back to DAWN. No more DOLLAR STORE off brands for this ol’ girl! At the age of 69, I deserve this little extravagance.

Thank you for making my life just a little bit EZ-er!.

This stuff is insane. It got 3 year old nail polish and discoloration from a “sensory putty incident†out of our carpet. We were thinking we would need to replace the carpet. We had had the carpet cleaned professionally multiple times and they did nothing compared to what 2 applications of Folex did.

I’ve also used it on upholstery. I don’t understand why more people don’t know about this product, but it is a staple in my house. There is no odor, and I didn’t wear gloves while coming into contact with it, and my sensitive skin was unaffected by it.

If you have a carpet stain you haven’t been able to get out, it is worth it to try this stuff.

Just ordered my second bottle of Folex. I’m not being compensated in any way but I need to tell you that this is one terrific product. My 9 month old Great Dane puppy brought clumps of wet Georgia red clay/dirt into my house and onto my pale blue carpet.

I think I scared off one carpet cleaning company when I told him what I needed cleaned. Sooo, I got out my Folex, sprayed a little area to test it, then went to work on the rest. I’m not done with all the spots yet but Folex is cleaning it up! Thank you, thank you, thank you! One happy customer!!! 😊.

I actually just purchased this from Amazon for the first time about 2-3 weeks ago. Ive used many different carpet sprays to try to get small spots out of our carpet. Mainly coffee stains or juice stains from our 3 year old.

Nothing would pull them up. I would scrub them and it would look like the stain was coming out. and as soon as it was dried, the stain would be right there as usual. This Folex was a complete shock! I had heard it was great but didn’t believe it because of my previous disappointment in other products.

Folex lifted all out coffee stains, even larger ones, several juice/popsicle stains! Ive even used it on clothing where my 3 year old got hot pink ink pen on my nude sweatpants I had just gotten the day before! It came right out! Ty FOLEX!.

i seriously love this stuff—maybe a little bit too much. i was skeptical upon purchase as i’ve tried other electrolyte powders and absolutely hated them (always were overly salty), but this was a happy surprise.

i really enjoy this flavor, too. it’s light but just sweet enough to mask the saltiness. i would say the amount of saltiness present is that of a gatorade, for comparison. most importantly, i have noticed a change in my hydration level.

due to a prescription medication i take, i am prone to dry mouth. no matter how much water i seemed to drink, my mouth remained dry. i started drinking two of these a day and i haven’t struggled with dry mouth since.

definitely worth giving a try. i know the price is intimidating but, to me, it’s worth it. also, it’s worth noting that i am no longer craving soda as i normally would; i am assuming it’s due to the sweetness of the powder.

if you’re struggling with that, too, check this out.

Well now we know why there’s a reason why it’s as cheap as the Express and why ROKU stopped making these. It’s a quad-core so it’s supposed to be smoother. However, once you attempt to activate, it prompts to download the latest updates.

That update, cancels and disables the device to “activate” it. ROKU likes to have you go through the usual run around until the final solution. The “Solved” indicated in their official forum, chat and phone service, is to basically return and exchange until you find one that works.

Save your money, it’s a 50/50 product IF you can get it do actually what it’s supposed to do (link device to account and activation failure). I’ve actually bough a few ROKU’s and setup a down others and it’s never smooth.

Very iffy product. For myself, I think after 5 years, this will be my last ROKU attempt. Use your mobile if you can to cast using the Apps because this platform is wonky (never bought or was gifted one that worked.

ever). Link for official ROKU troubleshooting thread: https://community. roku. com/t5/Getting-Started-Setup-How-to/New-Roku-Premiere-won-t-give-me-an-activation-code/td-p/530820.

on my Xfinity cable bill. Using this Roku, I was able to return one Xfinity cable box (X1 converter) from a room that I only watch TWO channels, MSNBC and CNBC. Think of that, $8. 50 a month so you can watch TWO channels (yes I had the choice to watch more, but at this location in my home, my office, those TWO channels are all I watch, and most of the time they’re only on in the “background”).

So I returned one of their X1 converters, and am saving $8. 50 a month off my Xfinity monthly bill. Downloading the “Xfinity Stream Beta” app from the Ruku channel store (for free), got me the SAME Xfinity guide I used with their cable box, and the TWO channels I watched.

Needless to say, “I’m happy” I was able to reduce my monthly cable bill, but regardless the ability to simply receive the “Roku Channel” and “Pluto TV” thru this Roku gives me more than enough “live channels” to watch besides the TWO channels I wanted to watch.

Well worth the under $30. 00 I paid for my model Roku. “The TV Man”.

I hate this product. I had an older Chromecast but it was having trouble keeping connection with phones so we thought we would upgrade to something with a remote and thought we’d give Roku a try. I regret not paying more for Chromecast (but my husband said the remote is too “slippery” and that’s the only real reason we tried a different one.

) Maybe it’s for Apple loyals, but there’s no cast option (or maybe there is if you download the app but takes up precious space on my phone) and there wasnt YouTube featured in the list of apps. Also it asked for payment details during setup for the potential of buying add ons but I couldn’t find a way to bypass it.

It almost had something good when the “kids channel” had the latest season of paw patrol – until I played it and found the “episodes” are just clips of the episode pieced together in a two minute long segment.

Overall the quality seems decent, but I don’t like the features as much as a Chromecast.

These used to be a favourite of mine I brought them as an alternative to when we couldn’t get to BK for the breakfast croissants as it’s a 30 minute dive each way for a hankering, I was shocked the 6 count has dropped to 4 count.

I didn’t mind so much usually 1?2 was plenty for me as I used to save one for the next day as did my husband. I decided eh I really want a box despite the price increase but the quality drop once I opened them was also so noticable! These used to be so full of flavour and filled me up just eating one unless I was super hungry.

The first bite I was sat going ew what did they do? It has no flavour I was disgusted the meat was paper thin barely any flavour the egg just felt wierd and the cheese I couldn’t even taste a cheesy flavour for a second I feared maybe I had the virus untill I tasted my drink perfectly fine.

Since you have to remove the plastic wraps in order to microwave the croissant dries out faster than the filling can cook leaving it dry in areas and cold in the middle the old bags helped steam cook the filling.

Even my husband who loves croissant, sausage and egg breakfasts went are these out of date or something they are nasty. I used to struggle to get my hands on these at my local store because they were.

always sold out proving how many people loved this item in the last few months I never really see it sold out and always available after my last batch I can see why! I Won’t be buying these anymore unless the quality goes back to how it used to be especially for the price $7 for 4 was An expensive letdown in terms of how these are now.

These are MY FAVORITE breakfast sandwiches!! The croissant 🥐 is buttery, and not chewy. I’d eat the croissant alone, tastes like the croissants you get in a pop out can and make at home!! Yum!! 😋 The ham also is of good quality, it has really good flavor, even though it’s a thin slice.

At first when I saw the ham I was disappointed, but again the taste makes up for the amount. The egg 🍳and cheese 🧀 also has good flavor. The cheese is melty and not rubbery, the egg 🥚 is fluffy too. The sandwich needs NOTHING added to eat it.

Normally I wouldn’t want to eat a sandwich without mayo, and most times add onion and lettuce to my ham egg and cheese sandwiches when I am out at restaurants. However these are perfect the way they are.

I also don’t just eat these for breakfast, I eat in them for dinner sometimes. My kids also love these. The 4 PKG is gone in 1 breakfast so we usually get the 8 PKG. They are a little pricey, if you have a grocery budget or a large family BUT they aren’t crazy expensive and cheaper in the long run than stopping for the same sandwich at a drive thru.

Hands down, I recommend these!!.

I was thinking that Jimmy Dean the king of breakfast, would have a pretty good quality breakfast sandwich in these ham and cheese croissants. I’was sadly mistaken. At the same time as I purchased these ham ones I also purchased some sausage ones from the Walmart Great Value brand, because I didn’t see sausage ones available from Jimmy Dean.

I am surprised and a bit sad to say that the Walmart brand had a far superior croissant to the Jimmy Dean. the Walmart ones have their own issues, namely that the sausage patty is almost criminally small, relative tp the size of the rest of the sandwich, but the croissant was superior to Jimmy Dean.

Also, they did not have an egg in them, which was my fault, I guess, for not paying closer attention, because that is what I wanted, but my main issue with these is that the croissant is a poor quality in my opinion.

I will continue to buy Jimmy Dean sausage, as they have the best that I’ve tried still, but these croissants were disappointing.

These smell amazing!!! I absolutely love the smell of fresh clean clothes and I have been buying Unstoppables for years to try and boost that clean clothes smell into my laundry and even then, it was only a little with the Unstoppables.

We recently went on a skiing trip and for the ease of using something in a rented condo, I bought a small pack of these same Tide Pods. After every load of laundry, we all just smelled so nice and that freshness lasted too!! I originally was just going to leave the leftover pods at the condo for the next family, but no way!! I brought them home and then jumped on Amazon to buy more! I have said goodbye to all my other detergents and I don’t even need Unstoppables anymore, so while Tide Pods are a little more expensive than my other detergent, since I’m no longer using Unstoppables, it’s actually cheaper!! I even recently gave someone a comforter that I had just washed with the pods and they messaged me asking what detergent I used bc it smelled so good!! If you’re sensitive to that strong fresh laundered smell, this could be too much, but for those like me who LOVE that smell, this is the detergent for you!!!.

These are a must have! I realized a few months back that oxi clean is an absolute necessity for me to use with my laundry. I work out regularly and nothing really works to get out that post workout smell.

So, typically I add oxiclean to my washing machine, then add my Tide pods. But, the fact that these pods have oxi clean in them?? So great! I’ve done both these things- still added the pre soak oxi clean and then one of these combo pods and also just used one of these pods.

They work great, either way. It’s more a matter of how bad the stain or smell is I want to tackle. I recently had my basement flood after a storm and unfortunately had clothes on the floor which sat soaked in rainwater overnight.

Needless to say I needed to work to tackle the issue and the smell bc wow it was not great. I really didn’t want to have to get rid of all the clothes that got wet. These tide pods were great for the wash cycles I used along with the presoak which truly worked better than just the regular pods.

I was very impressed by the Clean Breeze Tide Pods. I love how much more convenient they are to use than traditional liquid laundry detergent. You just throw them in the drum of your wash machine before you put the laundry in and you’re done.

I also love that they are completely mess free. Using liquid laundry detergent can be really messy but when you use the Tide Pods you don’t have to worry about spilling or making a mess. They are also extremely effective.

My laundry always comes out clean and smelling incredible. My clothes still smell incredible a week later when I pull them out of my dresser or closet. I will definitely not be going back to liquid laundry detergent after trying Tide Pods.

They make doing laundry so much quicker, they are much more effective at cleaning my laundry than my previous detergent and I love that I don’t have to worry about making a mess when using them.

I find this pan is of the best size and has most uses on my gas stove in home. I can cook all kinds of meals from breakfast to dinner, from frying eggs to making vegetable stews. Its size extend the use to deep frying and grilling.

I use it to grill burger meat, vegetables, asparagus. etc. Its size is good for deep frying mushrooms dipped in batter or frying a good batch of potatoe fries. I even make sandwiches using it, panini, grilled cheese, french toast.

Sometimes I pop it into oven and use it as bakeware. Its size is perfect for upside down cakes, deep dish pizza, corn bread or Dutch baby. This pan has good weight to preheat well and bake evenly on stovetop or in oven.

I can achieve good results of making pancakes, tortillas or naan just on stovetop with this pan preheated to the temperature to my liking. Oh its use is just endless. Best value one can get out of all kinds of cookware.

This site has an extensive set of gadgets one will ever need for his/her home kitchen use ( of course commercial too ). IMO, highly recommended as the first piece of cookware for anyone who wants to become a home chef.

Just a reminder : This pan comes well pre-seasoned but requires a bit of tendering after. The easiest way to keep it in best cooking condition is to clean out the debris under a running tap while it’s still warm then wiped dry or dried on a hot stovetop after cooking; wip the entire interior clean using a piece of lightly oiled paper towel when the pan is heated up before cooking.

That’s it and it’s quality is guaranteed to last one’s lifetime or generations. Best investment I made ever. Last but not least: If one gets tired of indoor cooking, the investment is preserved by taking it to other cooking occasions such as tailgate party, camping or just backyard.

Its ruggedness makes it a good piece of cookware regardless of gas, bed of hot coals or just barbecue grills.

I honestly don’t remember why I even wound up buying this 12 inch Lodge cast iron skillet. It might have been for the first time I tried following a recipe to make Southern-style fried chicken at home.

I ordered it from Amazon and I don’t remember the exact price but I think it was in the $30 range. I had never used cast iron before and quickly learned that it wasn’t automatically non-stick despite the fact that the company described it as “pre-seasoned”.

I’ve tried several different methods of seasoning it but to this day all of these years later I would never describe it as remotely close to “non-stick”. I’ve tried all sorts of ways to clean it including just wiping it out with paper towels, hand-washing with some dish soap, and I believe I even ran it through the dishwasher once.

Nothing has helped/hurt with the “seasoning” of the pan. There really doesn’t seem to be anything that sticks for very long. (no pun intended) Unless I am cooking a well-marbled steak I *always* add oil to this pan before putting anything else into it.

I didn’t have much use for this Lodge 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet when I lived at the house and had regular access to a gas grill in the backyard. These days I am in an apartment so I use this skillet for pan-searing burgers, chicken breasts, steaks, pork chops, etc.

at high temperatures to get good color on them. I’ve done Southern-style corn bread in it along with a few other things. I like that this skillet is so durable. It will last forever and then some. The price is nice.

I’ve just had to learn to accept that I will never get a good seasoning layer in it and cooking eggs in it will have to remain a fantasy. I’m still very happy to have it in my kitchen repertoire, though.

Lodge brand in my opinion is horrible! I recently two weeks ago purchased a Lodge cast iron skillet for $25 bucks the 12 Inch and a Lodge cook pot for $50 bucks both are horrible to use. both stick with anything you cook.

I’ve tried lowering the heat to lo medium heat nothing changes. Ive tried making pancakes and all I get is stick stick stick! same with stir fry or pasta dishes. I’ve done some burgers they came out decent without alot of stick but constantly having to scrape the bottom of the skillet an clean is just a mess and not good on time.

The cleaning is horrible as well. you can barely use luke warm water an rinse and it rust rust rust! the metal is coming out the skillet already and only had for 2weeks!! If only I had kept the boxes this mess came in.

I will still try and do a return because I do have my receipt but most likely im out of $$$. Do yourself and your funds a favor shop around elsewhere. This brand is a joke!! The good reviews that are being posted on here must be employees or owners or some sort of payroll for this brand.

Im upset with myself for believing this brand was going to work and throwing the boxes away immediately. Im even more upset because I throwed away all my grandmother pots and pans and skillets from the 80’s some even the 70’s!! things just aint what they use to be.

I have read many of the reviews and am so surprised by some of the odd comments. Let’s just discuss the fact that I will never drink a Coke from a tin can EVER again. Also the pure cane sugar is much better tasting and in MY opinion better for you than the glop they use in all the other coke products around the world.

The 12 ounce bottle is perfect for one person or to share between 2 glasses with ice. I found what we lovingly call Mexican Cokes in a very ritzy specialty store in Michigan in 2012 and introduced many friends to the glorious taste of real sugar in the Coke.

I have found out as maybe many of you have that because of the shape of bottle and the very narrow neck that if you open one then have a few drinks and fall asleep, the next morning you can take a drink and it won’t be cold but you will still get that marvelous burn as you take a big drink.

If you think what I say can’t be true, give it a try for yourself. Believe me it is true and remember I said if you have had a few drinks from the bottle not drank it down to the almost last drop and proclaim that the crazy woman from Michigan/Arizona docent know what she is talking about.

Here is my best tip for enjoying a Mexican Coke. Go to the grocery store and buy yourself a small bag of the good ice you buy for parties to make drinks. Then pick out several soft limes and get several bottles of Mexican cokes.

When you get home call a few friends to come have some drinks Non alcoholic for our under 21 crowd and designated drivers. Drinks for anyone who loves a Coke with their favorite liquor. Wash the limes with baking soda to remove any pesticides and dry off.

Take only and I mean only glass cups and squeeze 1/4 of half a lime in bottom of glass and put in freezer 30 minutes before guests arrive for cocktails. Keep all the squeezed limes in a bowl on the counter.

Put the “good” ice into a nice bowl in the freezer and have lots of Mexican cokes out. No need to chill unless someone doesn’t want ice. Take the glass from freezer, put in the amount of ice desired by guest.

( remember bottom has pure lime juice) Then if a non alcoholic drink is being made pour Mexican Coke in almost to top and then take a pice r of the reserved lime from bowl rub it all around rim and either put rest of lime into Coke or into your garbage disposal for the best smelling sink.

PS always have straws available in paper not plastic. It does make a difference in how it tastes and the environment. If you want add white rum and you have yourself a Cuba Libra. After one or 2 of those you will be quite continental!!!!!! I hope everyone got something out of this review as the goal is to get as many converts to Mexican Coke so it will be served everywhere including McDonalds!!! Now if you want.

The original coca cola of my childhood used regular sugar, which is easier on your pancreas and a LOT easier on the environment, and didn’t involved genetic meddling. You can only get that really good coke from Mexico now, and it’s worth it, but it’s expensive.

This is the coke of today. It’s cheaper than the Mexican import, and does the job of giving you some caffeine and bubbles and quenches thirst. It’s much, much safer than diet coke! Fake sugar fools your pancreas into releasing insulin but there’s no sugar in your system, so the sudden influx of insulin makes you crave high calorie sweets to offset the insulin.

That’s actually worse for losing weight than just drinking regular coke. That’s why you see so many very overweight people carrying diet soda with them. There’s a connection between diet sodas and diabetes and weight gain, and even other pancreatic problems (I’m a biologist).

So just get good old coca cola regular and don’t overdo, and you’re good to go. I also put them out for delivery people to give them a pick me up as they go on their mandated rushed route that doesn’t allow them to stop.

They usually take one.

Coca Cola has always been popular; and there’s no secret why. Coca Cola is a very refreshing soft drink with good carbonation that quenches your thirst no matter what! Now this classic beverage comes in “fridge packs;” these thin cardboard containers have a dozen 12 ounce cans of diet coke in them.

The cardboard pack even has a handy built in handle for you to carry them almost effortlessly!The idea of drinking coke in cans means that the soda doesn’t loose its carbonation as it would if you bought a large bottle of soda.

Each can remains completely fresh to the moment you open it to drink it. As for the “fridge pack;” you can load the cardboard pack into the fridge and just reach into it when you want a can of coke; and people like this.

You can also remove the cans from the pack, of course, and then place the individual cans themselves into your refrigerator. The cans are also comparatively small so you can carry one or two with you in your car if you wish to take a long drive to get somewhere.

The nutrition facts label can easily be found on the outside of the thin cardboard container that they call the actual “fridge pack. ” Unfortunately, this beverage does contain caffeine as one of its ingredients so ask your doctor before drinking this soda if caffeine is a health concern for you.

Coke also uses other ingredients so check out this nutrition facts label if any of the ingredients is a health concern for you. All in all, this is a wonderfully refreshing soft drink that many people enjoy for many good reasons.

It is particularly refreshing with a hot meal or on a hot summer’s day when you’ve been working outside. The “fridge pack” makes it easier than ever before to store the individual cans of Coca Cola in your refrigerator.

Pros: Bought for kids, had it connected to old crt TV via hdmi to scart converter. I was amazed at the picture quality compared to cable. Was easy to setup and remote is a good size for small hands and I can get signal to device even whilst pointing upwards, if there are any obstacles in front of it.

The device can be connected to ypur mobile via app which makes searching very easy. All popular streaming services can be watched ie disney, prime, netfix and theres also roku channel which has alot of free tv and movies.

Once you have setup a roku account in order to install the device you can remove your credit card details via account settings on your mobile to prevent accidental purchases. Mobile feature makes it so easy to just disconnect and take into another room.

Very cheap compared to monthly cable charges so will probably purchase another. Cons: I tried the screen mirror but oonly displays a frozen picture of mobile screen. Not sure why, will try miracast. Having a lot of problems with videos buffering on youtube and disney although roku channel is working fine past few days, again not sure.

Its been working fine since purchase.

Claims to be “easy setup”. Its easy to plug in, but then it needs you to register and it needs a credit card number before it will even let you use the box, then most of the main channels (all 4, itv hub, uktv play) all need you to register before you can watch anything.

Far from easy to use, I’m computer literate and it took me over 2 hours to get it all set up and register with all the channels. The hardware is pretty good, but has one glaring issue, It only supports 2.

4 gig WiFi, there is no 5g support. These were apparently first produced in 2016, which is the excuse for them not having 5g wifi. The hardware could of been easily modified/improved at factory level to include 5g, so I don’t know why Roku failed to do it.

Its a glaring oversite! There are thousands of channels you can add, though many of them are junk and just dont work properly, but if you rifle through the trash there are some good channels to be found.

In conclusion: If they added 5g wifi and removed the need to input a credit card while registering the box it would get a higher rating. The fact there is so many non working trash channels also reduces the rating.

But, overall a very nice responsive box, which gives good picture and sound quality. The remote control works a heck of s lot better thanthe older Roku boxes.

I purchased these for my parents to use as they recently (Finally) got high speed internet. These devices are much smaller than I realized when looking at them online – but they are so cute! They work just as well as my full size Roku 4K.

The only thing I miss is the remote doesn’t control TV volume or power, nor does it have a headphone jack or the search button like my full size 4K, however you can still use the search feature in the remote app on iphone/android but you’ll have to use your TV/Home theater remote for sound.

I just assume it would have it because my other Roku devices have it (Roku 4K as mentioned above, and a TV with Roku as the operating system). Just be sure you are OK with not having the remote control TV sound or having a search button/headphone jack if you are familiar with other Roku products.

Setup was very easy and quick, no steaming issues or buffering issues. Parents are happy. I’m happy!.

We bought our LG LREL6325F in (I believe January or September) 2021. it was great for about 8-9 months. Then the oven would burn everything. Had a reputable (LG qualified tech/repair) company repair it.

The connection to the lower heat element melted/shorted out. Repaired short and replaced thermistor/temp sensor. Worked for about 3 months, then-now temp is approximately 75°F cooler than the range registers.

This has been measured with analog and digital thermostats, internal and external. For example if we preheat the oven to 350 and wait for the preheat signal. The oven displays 350, an internal analog displays 275-290,digital displays similar to analog.

If you turn off the oven and turn it back on to preheat again, it oven displays about 320. If you adjust the temperature in the settings it doesn’t change the actual measured Temps (analog/independent).

Same company/tech came out a few weeks ago. Said temp sensor measures correct resistance(s) and he can’t find anything else wrong /advised it may need the main board replaced, but can’t guarantee that will fix/repair it.

Also I would like to add no visible discoloration on any of the connection/boards/internals.

We had a Bosch electric rang that we loved but the mother board died and it cost a lot to repair it. We wanted something just as nice as the one we replaced. I started reading reviews on a lot of electric ovens.

I do that and sometimes it drives me crazy. I read the reviews about this oven and one thing that was the biggest complaint was that it took along time to heat up. The reviews say it takes about 12 minutes to heat up.

For us that was not a game changer, however it really only takes half that time to heat up. We are still learning all the functions of the range, so far everything turned out great. The convection oven is so quiet, we have to knock twice to look inside to make sure the fan is working.

Our old one was really load and we knew it was working. One of my main concerns was the glass cook top. Some reviews on other ranges say they were marked up after one use. Our Bosch was 18 years old and the cook top looked like the day we bought it.

When looking I noticed this one has a pattern like our Bosch. Every time I use it I clean it with weiman glass cook top cleaner & polish and it’s not marked up. My suggestion is to read all the instructions and keep them close by so you can review it when ever there’s a question.

This LG stove seems fine however there are a few things to know in advance. First off, and you won’t notice this in the store, there is a rather large gap under the burner knob control panel. This gap runs the whole width of the stove.

It looks ugly and makes it look cheap. I’m sure LG could put some piece of stainless steel on it with vents if need be without too much added expense. Standing right in front of it you don’t see it but sitting at my counter (5 ft away) or when you walk in my front door, it’s noticeable immediately.

It is truly a beautiful stove except for that. The bottom drawer is also rather cheap and not very deep. I’m glad they added more oven space cuz who really needs those bottom drawers anyway but it seems like it could have gone all the way to the back of the stove.

As I said I’m glad they made the drawer not as tall so as to fit an additional oven rack in it. Love that! As for the oven. I wanted a model with an air fry feature so I could get rid of the air fryer on my counter.

It says you don’t have to preheat in air fry mode but it takes forever to heat up and cook the food. Disappointing. Guess now I have to wait for my microwave to die so I can buy a model with the air fry feature and hope it works as well as my large counter top air fryer did.

Lastly, I did a LOT of holiday baking and all but 1 thing turned out. I used the “bake” setting on everything. The one thing that didn’t turn out was a recipe where I had to put chocolate chips on bars after they were finished baking.

The chocolate chips were to go in the oven for a minute or two to melt to then spread around. After I took them out, they were not melted. I put them back in for another minute. Still not melted. By this time I’m thinking the chips are old.

I added new chips I’d just bought. In the end nothing melted, they only became hardened-like but air filled. I can only assume this was because of the convection fan- even tho I used the bake setting.

Now that I know, I’ll melt the chocolate chips in the microwave next time.
