Saving Money and Energy with ENERGY STAR Sound Bars and Dryers

October 31, 2016 by Emilee Evans

When we decided to make the commitment to be an eco-friendly household I learned there is so much more to it than just finding organic and eco-friendly products. Everything we do and use has some impact on our health and environment. That’s why I love that Best Buy is committed to providing sustainable products!
Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
Best Buy offers ENERGY STAR® certified products which help protect the environment by using reduced energy. This alone is something I feel good about, but there really are savings on the utility bills as well! ENERGY STAR certified products come with two price tags: the price for purchasing the product as well as the cost of operating the product. ENERGY STAR appliances and products can help save money on operating costs by reducing energy expenses without sacrificing performance. Who doesn’t love to save money?
In 2015, Best Buy customers purchased enough ENERGY STAR® certified products to collectively save $67,120,515 in annual energy costs! Amazing, right? Plus Best Buy customers purchased ENERGY STAR® certified products to collectively save enough energy to help power 70,538 households for a year.

ENERGY STAR Audio/Video Equipment – Sound Bars

Energy Star Sound Bar
ENERGY STAR Sound Bars are just some of the great ENERGY STAR certified audio/video equipment available at Best Buy. They are up to 50% more efficient than conventional models! Plus they look great, too! You can save even more energy when you pair them with other ENERGY STAR certified televisions and devices.
Find Sound Bars on the Best Buy Website.

ENERGY STAR Appliances – Dryers

I run my dryer almost every day. That is why I love ENERGY STAR dryers! They use up to 20% less energy than conventional dryers, but they still have amazing features and work well! Plus they have additional features like shutting off when they detect clothes are dry, which is what helps save energy! Many even include handy features like steam cycles, so you can save on ironing time (and energy) as well!
Energy Star Appliances Dryers
Here is an interesting fact: If all dryers sold in the US alone were ENERGY STAR certified, Americans could save $1.5 billion each year in utility costs! WOW! Plus, we could prevent greenhouse gas emissions that would be equal to more than 2 million vehicles. ENERGY STAR dryers are definitely the way to go!
Find ENERGY STAR dryers on the Best Buy Website. They offer other great ENERGY STAR appliances as well!
Another great benefit for using ENERGY STAR certified products is that you can generally find rebates as well!
Do you use ENERGY STAR certified products? Now is a great time to add some of the great ENERGY STAR certified products at Best Buy to your wishlist! You could kick off the new year with a goal of saving energy and money! Here are more great tips to save energy.

Keep Your Home Connected with Netgear Arlo Smart Home from Best Buy

October 20, 2015 by Emilee Evans

We are a family of modern electronics including a home network on which we’ve connected many devices. To say we put a heavy strain on our network would definitely be accurate! We love the convenience of wireless devices and having a connected home, so we were definitely excited to further expand our home network while also keeping our home safer!
Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links.
Netgear Arlo Smart Home Security Cameras
Having a home security system is something we have talked about for quite a while. Video monitoring is something that is really appealing because it would allow us to actually see what is going on. When we thought of video monitoring, though, we couldn’t get beyond the idea that we just didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting it up. We assumed there would be a lot of wires which we couldn’t easily hide as we are currently renting a home and setting up an elaborate system just seemed so, well, permanent.
When we saw the NETGEAR – Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras we were in awe. Not only do these wireless security cameras have amazing definition, but they were also easy to install. The Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras, which is available only at Best Buy, includes 4 motion-activated cameras, 4 magnetic camera mounts and 7 mounting screws.
NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home Wireless Security Camera
What we appreciate most is the flexibility. We not only love that we can move cameras easily throughout the home by simply placing them on magnetic mounts we’ve placed in various rooms of the home but that it is also a security system we can take with us anywhere! When it’s time to buy a house next year, our Arlo Smart Home Security Cameras will be right there with us!
For camera placement we opted to place two cameras within the home and two cameras outside. Because only one outdoor mount is included, we had to purchase an additional mount, which was very easy to find at our local Best Buy. As I mentioned, we placed the magnetic mounts in various rooms of the house, and we can easily move the indoor cameras to different areas of the home as needed. It truly is convenient!
Netgear Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Security Cameras
The cameras allow us to capture 720p video footage any time of the day or night. The system is easily accessed through the downloadable app. The app is available for compatible Android, Apple iOS, Amazon Kindle, Windows or Mac devices. I access it predominately from my iPhone and my husband accesses it from his Android phone. In the app we can view live feed from all four cameras as well as control motion settings. To easily toggle between motion settings, we set up motion on for the outdoor cameras under a specific name. To turn it on when we either leave the home or go to sleep, we simply select “Mode” and choose this option. Then both cameras are set to record motion until we turn it off again.
In addition to turning the motion sensors off and on, the amount of time that gets recorded once the sensor is triggered can be adjusted as well. We found anything less than 30 seconds wasn’t sufficient for our preference, so we set it to one minute. It can be set to whatever you prefer. It can even be set on a schedule!
Netgear Arlo Smart Home Wireless Security Cameras
Did I mention one of the best features is that it’s wireless? Because we have a heavy load on our network, we were thrilled to receive the Netgear Nighthawk DST Router and DST Adapter as well. This brand new router is available exclusively at Best Buy and is a solid solution for providing support for a connected home. It can support 10+ devices which can even be prioritized. It includes a DST (Dead Spot Terminator) to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones and even includes Geek Squad Service! This service includes set up and support for one full year.
We found getting started with Geek Squad Support and setting up the router to be simple. Plus, help is available 24/7! We haven’t set up the DST adapter because we have found this router really improves our home network overall without needing additional support for dead spots! We have really been quite impressed. Of course, I do love that we have the adapter if it is ever needed. It is actually really neat! Not only can it extend your wi-fi, but it also has an Ethernet port so you can connect a wired device anywhere you have the adapter!
Overall, we are really happy with everything both the NETGEAR – Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras and Netgear Nighthawk DST Router and DST Adapter have added to our home network to keep our home connected. We can now easily monitor what is going on in and around our house whether we’re in the home or out and about and enjoy the improved experience in our home network overall.
