Elevens Upholstered Modern Cutout Back Dining Chair with Walnut Leg
The lighting in the video is not great, I apologize ahead of time for that one.
Things not in the video:
-They are comfortable and supportive. The cushion in the bottom is firm and nice to sit on.
-They do not feel or look cheap and are also light. So, if you have kids, they are easy for them to move (drag) around the house.
30 days of ownership has shown one con:
- I believe this con is an anomaly. In one of the chairs, two of the screws (the only two) that support the backrest fell out, and the backrest is now only supported by the stiff fabric. I plan to pull out a few staples, put some Loctite on the screws before I screw them back in, and staple the fabric and fell back onto the base. It seems isolated to this one; the other three are holding up great. I will add a video link in the comments when I do this repair.
Do I recommend them, Yes, very much so. They are very comfortable and well-built. If anything, the screw has proven the fabric will stand up over time. It's strong enough to hold the back together with an adult sitting on my broken one. That sounds like a joke, but in all seriousness, that is saying a lot.
Thank you for watching and as always, please let me know what you think or if you have any experience with these you would like to share.

5/16 IN. HIGH SPEED STEEL BLACK AND GOLD KILLER FORCE
HI it it seem the best use I can come up with for this thing is as you know everything now comes in a hard plastic case the best I can think of is I can use it to open a new item I buy ? I mean it seems scissors are sometimes hard to use ? thoughts please thank you
Request identification of the ‘proto anvil’ eg product url please.
I believe auger self drive drill bits exist to fit direct into the 7/16 head.thank you.
Can use the big wrench to drill out mortise holes in timber framing ?
Did you ever get it installed? Aside from the too-minimal-use of stainless steel in the front, the price and features are compelling. I’m curious about the oven performance in particular.
unfortunately we have not yet. I will post an update as soon as we do. I think we are a few months out from throwing it in. thanks for watching!
Thank you for providing the video, it's much better than the brand's overview of install, very helpful and confirmation! yes, filter will run independently from "control" handle if batteries not yet installed (stuck on - on position) which was most frustrating during testing! 🙂 FYI - January 2024 - great clearance price at my local Menards!
we like it, we are still using it and have only had one issue with it this far (besides the price of the filter 🙁), I am going to try and bypass the filter that comes with it and add a tri-filter system. I’ll post if it works.
Is it crazy that I want to get on to for when I work on my cars with the rims?
not at all. it’s a beast! I have the stubby 12v 3/8 in that works well but I use this on suspension parts and stubborn mounts. it’s big, but works.
Thank you! This was helpful even 2yrs later.
glad to hear, I still use it and it still running great.
Can the fridge warn you that the temperature is high? Notifications that it’s broke
it has a self diagnostic system and a manual one you can run on your own. I have not had the issue you are describing but I am sure it does. what did happen is the ice maker broke. cool thing, out of warranty Samsung replaced it, my mother board and charged me nothing. because the units are having ice maker issues they extended the warranty on them. They did not need the motherboard replaced but because there was a newer version the tech replaced it. pretty awesome.
Thanks for the details on the unit. I plan to install one just like it at my home!
How did you change the units??? It's coming only with ft and not in inches and metres
if you press the rhombus (diagonal square) it changes the unit of measurement. If you hold it down it cycles through m and so on.
Thanks for the review 🎉❤
I just got one new in box for $60. Looks like a good buy
wow
Have you broken any 7/16 to 1/2 adapters yet? I'm thinking about picking one of these ups and using it as a medium 1/2 impact wrench. Also what gen is the impact driver? I bought another M18 impact driver and took out the 1/4 collet and replaced it with a 1/2 square anvil.
I’m sorry I’m so late to respond. I have not broken any and have only broken a cheap impact socket. the issue is not with them breaking but me loosing them, lol
@@moto1833 Thanks for letting me know. Will definitely pick one of these up.
How do you change the display?
Holding the Rhombus (diagonal square) changes the unit of measurement and pressing it cycles through the modes.
Not pvc, but upvc

The problem with the hex quick lock is having to use those “anvils” or impact socket adapter, I couldn’t count how many of those things I’ve bought in my life and I have yet to find a definitive name for them. Anyways problem is I’ve had days where I have run through 3-4 of those damn things! A single day! and when they can cost anywhere from 3$ to 55$ apiece that can add up quick but the cost isn’t even the worse part because nothing compares to breaking the only one or last one you have causing you to no longer be able to continue doing whatever you’re working on until you make a trip to the closest store selling them. That’s what’s so nice about the impacts Milwaukee dewalt whoever make with it built in.
Agree. I have since purchased a mid-torque and use it for most applications. I found my sweet spot for this thing, though, I installed a 12x12 pergola with 6x6 supports at about 10 ft high at the highest point, and this thing was a charm with the drill bits. Boring through a two 2x10 temp strapped to 6x6 ten feet in the air, popping the bit out and tucking it into my belt, and adding the adapter with my socket locked onto it without climbing down was a treat. It was also 24 degrees out on all three days it took me to put this thing up, and that long handle came in handy. That is about all I pull it out for, and the occasional stubborn bolt on my jeep that the mid torque cannot get (that is a rare occasion, though). Nothing like this to bore through salt-treated lumber; that is what it was born to do. I am interested in what you were breaking or driving that broke the bit. I usually break the fastener first. Thats impressive.
Are you talking about the 1/4 hex to square adapters? I thought the 7/16 adapters might hold up better?
So what we learned from this video is that Ford's registration plates are UJ***58 (I can see it completely but not post it, of course). Just put a damn sticker or something on a plate next time. Thanks for the review!
ok ace ventura, now what? What danger is this man in now that you know his tag number? what are you going to do? What crime of the century is now ripe for the picking?
You are a wizzard my friend. You either paused it when the blur spot jumped off, or I missed a second or two for you to catch it. However, if someone watches this and decides to steal my Expedition, they can have it; it's garbage. 58,000 miles and two transmissions later, no, I don't tow; my wife and I have a love hate relationship with that car. You never know; maybe I left it there on purpose. Lol. Thanks for watching.
@@moto1833 LOL
I bought one. It has a bad habit of shattering pvc instead of making a clean cut.
Yes, I have experienced that. When it is cold, it shatters, hot it smashes. I have noticed a little sharpening to the blade helps.
Iam a lineman and I have one and it kick ass you need to run a 12ah on it. Hang on.
That’s awesome, I have not put the 12ah but I have another pergola build coming up so I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for the comment, it really helps those such as yourself who need to know how it will do on the job and that is something I could not give at the time so thanks. It’s super helpful.
I will be for sure buying one when I finish lineman school
The big boy is for drilling into power line poles
Oh yes it is. In this video, I am not using it for what it is designed for at all but I don’t drill into power lines nor did I have a large pole to demonstrate on at the time. I did use it recently to bore through some 6x6 posts for a pergola build and it was amazing.
You can drill into whatever you desire, just wired and plumbed an entire new home with this, the Big Hawg and Selffeed bits fit directly in and were awesome.
Enough meat for two sandwiches 😆
How do you remove the glass shelve above the 2 drawers? My son spilled red pop and I can’t get the shelves out 😞
They lift out. There are two metal tabs in the back. One is a hook facing down and the other ( below that) is a tab going in. It will be challenging at first because if you have not removed them yet, because of the question I’m assuming not, they will still have packing tape on the hooks so they are a pain to get out. The left shelf locks into the right shelf with a small tab at the front. You don’t need to do anything about this, I only mention it because it looks like they are bolted together. They are not. Pull up on the front by about a 1/2 inch and push up on the back center of the shelves where the metal goes into the back of the fridge and pull towed you. They will pop out. Please let me know if this helped.
You should compare this to the milwaukee m12 pvc shears
LOL, I would love to but I cannot convince my wife to let me buy one.
Cuánto cuesta?
Are you able to change the color/brightness of multiple lights at once?
It would depend on your app. I can through Alexa if I add them all to a group. Through the geeni app you can as well by grouping them.
Weird, maybe the blade that came on mine was dull, I had issues with it squishing then bogging out trying to cut PVC, PEX on the other hand is where it shines for me, working on PEX mains and risers now and it's fantastic up to 2.5" PEX pipe
I do think it has problems with smaller walled pipes. The gap the blade dropped into is a little wide and leaves room for the smaller walled pipe to collapse into the gap folding instead of cutting. Thanks for the comment and additional information. I’ll try some smaller walled stuff.
Hi I just bought this last week and I’m having a big problem with the flames on how to regulate it , flames are really big and yellow I like to know wen are you going to do the other video on how to use it wen all connected . Thank you It will be really helpful, thank you again.
I’m looking at putting it in next month. Yours is still under warranty, I would call the installer or HD and have them come fix it. If your getting yellow flames from all burners it could be a combustion issue with not enough air or a bad seal on the pipes. If it’s one or two burners, pull off the caps and burners and make sure they are clear of debris or chunks of finish from the manufacturing process. Just to clarify, I’m not an appliance expert, so if it’s all five burners, call the pro, it could be a bad install or faulty component. Please share with us what you come up with. Thanks for your comment.
Is the large drawer underneath the humidity drawers able to have its temperature controlled separately? Great review!
No, it’s on the same temp as the rest of the fridge.
Can you go through the steps a little slower?
I’m sorry I’m so late on this reply. please let me know if you still want me too and I’ll make another video doing it.
How do u change the units?
It takes two AAA batteries.
Thanks for the review. Does the ice maker give you any issue? Are you liking the smart screen? What version of family hub is it...3.0 or 4.0. Thank you very much.
I don’t remember the version but I’ll check that when I get home and add it in here. I have no issues with the ice maker and we are a family of seven and have never run out. The light is the only thing I wish it had but I have figured out how to use it without. The screen has gotten significantly better since my review. With the updates it has been much more useful. Alexa and google home, if you need that, are now added. That allows me to use the hub as my actual planner and since that update it has been used a lot. All j MJ y stuff is integrated into Alexa so the comparability issue I mention is no longer a thing for me. It’s not as nice as a galaxy would be with it but it’s better than nothing. Funny enough, we have never used the camera option. In theory it’s a good idea but I have never been at the store and wondered what I was missing. I usually use it just to show off how cool the fridge is “see, I can even see what’s in it.” Lol. Hope this answers your questions, I’ll get you the version in a few days. Thanks for watching.
@@moto1833 thank you very much!
Any problem on ice maker?
Besides not having a light, no. It’s pretty good and really responsive. I have 6 people using it daily and we have not run out. I have noticed I have to hit the button a few times if I don’t get it right, there is no feedback or lines identifying where the button is but it’s user error not bad buttons.
Mine is being delivered at our new house next week.
Awesome, I hope you like it as much as we do.
@@moto1833 trying to figure out how to get the camera view inside.
Solid review, good job!
Glad you liked it! We still have it and still love it. It has moved three times with me as well, once from the West Coast to the East Coast and no issues.
harbor freight hercules
Ah, no! lol. I have seen a few people that I respect do great work with tools brands I have never heard of. It's always about the tradesman first; however, I would not climb up a phone pole with a Hercules tied to my belt. This is made for lineman.
Our lawn looks like the grass was forced into circular patterns and beat down. If I could "comb" the grass blades back into an upright position, the grass would look like a bad haircut with some of the blades cut and most others sticking up needing to be mowed again. We mowed it again, changing the height and a bit more was cut but the same, beat down, appearance was evident. It's been mowed again and most blades are lying down flat on the ground. This can't be happening to other users of this mower. Ideas anyone?
Are you mulching or using the bag? I would recommend changing your catching options and see if it makes a difference. If you are mulching I would make sure you have the two blades on it. Last would be to sharpen the blade and see if that helps. Honestly, I’m happy if my grass is green so you are miles ahead of me on quality of lawn, LOL. If you are mulching, consider the speed you are going as well, you have to give it time to chop up the grass and throw it up. If your moving too fast, it will just pile up in the blade area. That could be what is pushing the blades of grass down before the cutter even gets to it.
It’s so frustrating that it doesn’t have a light for the water dispenser
I know. That is still the only thing I don’t like about it. The only thing. I wish the would have paid more attention to that.
How is the ryobi pressure washer holding up since you posted this video over a year ago?
Well, besides my dog chewing up the power cord a month ago, flawless. And I can also say, it’s really easy to work on, LOL. On a serious note, it has been great. No issues at all and it runs like a champ.
U used schedule 40 tho. Would’ve rather seen some thin wall get cut see if this thing doesn’t crush it
I agree, I believe a few people have had issues with it crushing not cutting.
It's a little over a year later, how is your fridge holding up? Do you have any issues that were not apparent in the beginning?
No issues at all. It is an amazing fridge. We love it as much as the day we got it and the info center is much better and keeps getting better with every update. It has Alexa now. It’s a great fridge and we have hade zero issues with it and have wanted only for a light on the water dispenser. That’s it. Thanks for watching.
HELP!! how do I connect my phone to my Samsung fridge that doesn't have a screen?
I am not sure. If your fridge is comparable, it should show up on the devices section of the smart thing app. If it’s not there, it may not be capable of connecting.
I am not sure. If it is comparable, it should show up in the smart thing app under devices
@@moto1833 It is comparable because the fridge has the Bixby logo inside by the side door
Wow! But I only randomly cut plastic pipe a few times a decade. Still nice.
I just bought this fridge today. I can't wait until it's delivered! 😄
After over a year of owning it I will say, we still love it. It’s a great and well built fridge, 4 toddlers going in and out all day long it still looks and works like new. Good choice, you will love it and we are very excited for you.
@@moto1833 thank you! 😁 I got the black stainless steel one. Is there an option to see security cameras on it? Do you know what model filter it takes for the water filter or does it come with one installed?
@@alliegator187 are you asking for a screenshot of the cameras on the screen or a picture of them inside. I did put it on the video. You can also see the cameras in the app anywhere you have your phone. It comes with a filter; here is the mode number just so you have it. DA97-17376B

Haha, yes it is, a little quieter though. Lol
Love this tool. Makes cutting under house a breeze. Also great indoors since it does not leave saw burrs to clean up. Greatly recommend it
Hi. Crystal here. What is the size limit of PVC the device can cut?
It can cut up to 2”. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. Everything I needed to know before making a choice for a new pressure washer.
