Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher – Where Form Meets Function

August 26, 2019
Disclosure: I have been compensated for this blog post. All of my opinions in this article are my own.

If you are busy like we are, you don’t have time to do the dishes. Or if you are guilty like me and let the dishes pile up, then you need to use a dishwasher! The Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher from Best Buy can help you get things done, AND, quietly while doing it!

Wash Dishes In Peace

When we are entertaining, I don’t like to spend time at my sink washing the dishes. With the Bosch 800 Series dishwasher, I can load up the dishes and wash them while I still have guests around.

We used to have to load our dishwasher when we were going to bed or when we knew we were going to be somewhere else so the noise wouldn’t be so disruptive to our home.

The Bosch 800 series dishwasher washes at a 420-dBA noise level rating which means that when the dishwasher is running you have to use the exterior Infolight® to know it is actually running!

Bosch 800 Series Product Specs

I love many things about this dishwasher. Especially the flexible 3rd rack! There’s always an odd sized item that you can’t find the right fit for.

Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher

Here are more specs about this awesome dishwasher:

  • 24” width – There’s room for up to 16 place settings. Plus, choose from 6 wash cycles including five-level wash, 5 options like Extra Dry, and a concealed heating element.  
  • Flexible 3rd rack – Accommodate the odd one out. Adding the 3rd rack with its adjustable tines can create the right fit for deep, tall, or uniquely-shaped items.  
  • EasyGlide™ rack – Load and unload smoothly. It’s easy to adjust and move the racks, even while they’re full of dishes.  
  • RackMatic® – Fit it all, every time. With 3 different height levels and up to 9 possible rack positions, you can customize each load for your needs.  Check out how RackMatic® adjusts to to fit all shapes and sizes.
  • 24/7 Aquastop® – Protect your floors. This 4-part leak prevention system uses sensors to detect and stop leaks, and can even turn on by itself.  
  • 42-dBA noise level rating – Wash dishes in peace. Bosch dishwashers are so quiet, you have to check the exterior Infolight® to know they’re on.  
  • Touch Control – Program a cycle quickly. The integrated controls make it easy with simple touch technology.
  • Every Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR qualified and meets or exceeds federal guidelines, for year-round energy savings
  • Sanitize Option reduces 99.9% of bacteria with  Patented CrystalDry™ technology delivers 60% better drying results.*
  • Patented CrystalDry™ technology transforms moisture into heat up to 176F for the ultimate dry, even for plastics .

*Based on aggregate average drying performance of Bosch Dishwashers with CrystalDry on combined household load including plastics, glass, steel, and porcelain as compared to Bosch Dishwashers with PureDry.  Drying performance may vary by dish type.

Tips To Create An Outdoor Living Space

Tips To Create An Outdoor Living Space

May 29, 2019
Disclosure: I have been compensated for this blog post. All of my opinions in this article are my own.

The unofficial start to summer came this past weekend. We spent time outdoors on our deck getting our flowers planted, the deck furniture cleaned up, and we sat outside and enjoyed our fire pit with family a few times! While prepping our yard I came up with a few tips to create an outdoor living space.

Here Are My Tips To Create An Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor Television

Do you have a television that can withstand the elements? Check out the Veranda Series Outdoor 4K UHD TVs with HDR at Best Buy. Whether you want to host a fun family movie night outside, or have an outdoor party featuring the big game, the Veranda Series of SunBriteTVs is ready to make your favorite outdoor space a real destination.

Now, the best seat in the house is outside! I wish this was my outdoor patio!

Tips To Create An Outdoor Living Space

The Veranda Series Outdoor 4K UHD TV Product Specs

  • Weatherproof TV built for full-shade outdoor living areas 
  • Powder-coated rust-proof aluminum exterior protects internal components from rain, snow, dust, insects, humidity, and salt air. 
  • Up to 50% brighter than indoor TVs for improved viewing in brighter outdoor environments. 
  • 4K UHD with HDR
  • Large weatherproof media bay makes cable connections easy. It has plenty of storage room for many popular media players, and thick gaskets seal out moisture and the elements
  • Available in 43”, 55”, 65” and 75” sizes

The Veranda Series of SunBriteTVs are designed specifically for outdoor use. They are engineered to survive just about any climate in North America, resisting the harsh effects of rain, snow, dust, insects, and extreme temperatures.  

Sound System

Having a great sound system is a nice touch for entertaining outdoors. We have an upper and lower deck on our house so I would love to have speakers that can be placed on both decks that can be controlled individually.

Photo by Best Buy

Best Buy has great outdoor speakers. I like these speakers from Best Buy because they are wireless outdoor speakers AND they are also solar powered. WIth the wireless speakers the kids can pair their phone to the speakers near the pool and we could control the speakers on the upper deck separately!

Lighting

I have always loved the way Christmas lights look any time of the year. So I strung white lights along our deck last year. I use them all year round. It gives the deck a cozy hue of light to it.

Tips To Create An Outdoor Living Space

Plants

In addition to our garden, we are growing strawberry, tomato, lettuce and herbs in pots on our deck. I love looking out my kitchen window to see the beautiful colors blooming along the deck and the yard.

The kids really wanted to take part in beautifying our home with flowers this year. They even wanted to spend their own money to buy more flowers! I love that they appreciate the home that they live in and want to make it look nice.

The unofficial start to summer came this past weekend. We spent time outdoors on our deck getting our flowers planted, the deck furniture cleaned up, and we sat outside and enjoyed our fire pit with family a few times! While prepping our yard I came up with a few tips to create an outdoor living space

LG Kitchen and Laundry Appliances

LG Kitchen and Laundry Appliances from Best Buy

May 22, 2018

Disclaimer:  I have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Mom Summit 2.0 Best Buy Suite Featuring LG Kitchen and Laundry Appliances

While I was at the 2018 Mom 2.0 Summit in Pasadena, CA I visited the Best Buy Suite.  The previous year they also had a suite and their products are amazing!  I also visited their booth at the 2017 #BlogHer conference.  They never disappoint.  One of my favorite products that Best Buy sells is the LG Twin Washer and Dryer.

In addition to the LG Twin Washer and Dryer, this year Best Buy was showcasing their LG kitchen and laundry appliances in the exclusive matte black stainless steel finish.  I loved the look of it and the best thing about it – NO FINGERPRINTS!  We have stainless steel appliances in our kitchen.  While I love the look of stainless steel, it is hard to keep clean all the time with kids.

LG’s Exclusive Matte Black Stainless Steel

LG’s exclusive Matte Black stainless steel combines the timeless look of stainless steel with a luxe & low-gloss matte finish that compliments any kitchen décor. These LG smart kitchen appliances are wi-fi and voice-enabled, allowing you to control your kitchen appliances remotely — from changing settings, to checking the status, or turning on or off. These smart appliances make life easier.

These settings are so convenient for busy moms like me.  Having the ability to set a time for the stove to pre-heat while I am at the softball field would save us time when I have to throw together a quick meal for the family later in the evening.

LG Washers and Dryers with SmartThinQ® Technology

LG washers and dryers with SmartThinQ® technology will change the way you do laundry. You can start and stop wash cycles remotely, get updates when laundry is done and even receive reminders about scheduled maintenance.

I can’t tell you how many times I have put a load of laundry in the wash while I put the kids on the bus, and then head into my office to work, only to find the laundry sitting in the washing machine at the end of the day!  By then I feel like I need to wash them again or else they smell musty.

Here’s just a few examples of LG’s Smart Appliance Capabilities

Washer

  • “Alexa, how much time is left on my washer”
  • Or — receive SmartThinQ app notification that your wash cycle has finished

  • Dryer

  • “Ok Google, turn on my dryer”
  • Or — receive SmartThinQ app notification that your dryer cycle has finished

Refrigerator

  • “Alexa, turn on ice plus for my party tonight”

Range

  • “Ok Google, how much time is left on the range.”
  • Or — use your SmartThinQ app to check the time remaining

Dishwasher

  • Receive a notification that the cycle has finished

In-Home Consultation

While I was at the Best Buy Suite I was also talking to the representatives about the In-Home consultation services.  They can help you tie all your appliances to your google home and your Amazon echo.  So if these smart appliances intimidate you, you don’t have to worry because Best Buy is there to help you get everything up and running at no charge to you!

LG Twin Wash System

LG Twin Wash System At Best Buy

February 8, 2018

Disclaimer:  I have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

LG Twin Wash System

Best Buy now offers the LG Twin Wash system which includes LG Front Load laundry paired with LG’s SideKick Pedestal Washer.  I saw this product during a conference and love the flexibility of being able to wash a small load of clothes in a separate pedestal washer.  So if I went out for a run and wanted to get my sweaty running clothes clean fast, I could toss them in the pedestal washer as a separate small load.  Or, if I wanted to wash my sweaty workout clothes separate from my family’s clothes I could wash them simultaneously while you do a bigger load up top on your LG Front load washer.

Customers are now saying that they can’t live without the pedestal washer.  What was first thought of as an excessive add on is becoming quite a popular accessory to their laundry room!  It’s perfect for washing swim suits, table cloths and work clothes!

Not only do these washers have mega capacity to tackle any size load, they are energy efficient while giving you the best cleaning performance. No wonder more households have chosen LG laundry over any other brand!

Special Offer From Best Buy

From 1/11-4/25 receive up to $500 off a LG laundry solution for your home.
