Staff is very friendly and helpful too, and there are tables for adults playing games too. Wish I had brought something else to do though, next time I'll bring my Steam Deck.

SUMMARY: Referred to a real honest to goodness professional who did a fantastic, clean…read moreinstallation of our new Daikin mini-split and our Sense Energy monitor. Dwight is a true gentleman. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND D&B. BACKGROUND We have an attached den which was added about 20 years prior to our home purchase that had some seriously inadequate ventilation. All of the HVAC companies we interviewed all said that our A/C unit was undersized. The solutions offered were either a mini-split or a whole duct replacement and upgrades to...everything. All we needed is to get this one room temperature controlled so we decided a mini-split was the way to go. We narrowed down to two vendors. One vendor offered a 1 ton system with install at $300 more than we paid (we will not quote prices here, so don't ask). Dwight from D&B Unlimited proposed a Daikin 2 ton system and we went with him because during the interview process, we felt he had better knowledge of mini-splits and installs as well as he wasn't as pushy as the other company's rep. The installation took about 6 hours total. Dwight did all the work with no fuss and even cleaned up the dust. We went and checked the room and there was no trace of dust which is always a good sign of a professional. He demonstrated this awesomely awesome mini-split and wow, I want one in our bedroom! THE MINI-SPLIT This thing is super, super quiet. Long gone are those apartment days with the AAAAAAAAANNNNNGGGGGGG sounding box a/c units! I know it sounds like this is some new thing to me, but it's not. In just about every part of Asia, these mini-splits are installed in just about every home. I really wonder why more people aren't using these things. WHY WE WENT W/ DWIGHT AND DAIKIN Of note and being the thorough researcher that I am, Daikin got the nod over the other brands we were pitched because of three factors: 1) Yes, there are better. Mitsubishi is probably the gold standard when it comes to mini-splits. But as such, it comes with a price. Daikin is a great bang for the buck brand, esp the 2 ton, 18 SEER units 2) Daikin (Japan) is the largest A/C manufacturer in the *world*. Yes, the world. So good to know they're not a fly by night brand company. 3) 12 year warranty. SENSE MONITOR INSTALL I showed Dwight our Sense Energy monitor and he was really curious about the capability. It was really easy to install, but required him to drill out some homes in our main service box. Having never installed anything requiring me to remove the panel box gave me the heebie jeebies, but process-wise it's very simple. We are eager to see how this can monitor our home appliance and other device's energy usage. Note: we did not get the solar module because we already have an ammeter attached by Solar City.

I spent several minutes chatting with the cashier about the new Transformers series and why it's hitting so well, while another staff member checked in and recommended a few books I hadn't even heard of. This place feels like a local bar for comic fans, except instead of drinks you're deep into comic talk and shop news. The variety here is fantastic. The wall is lined with new releases and current titles, there's a strong selection of graphic novels, and the middle of the store is packed with long boxes full of back issues, including great deals like 50-cent bins, variant covers, and bundle finds. There's just so much cool stuff to look through. Benicia is lucky to have a comic shop like this, and whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by. It's a down-to-earth, no-frills comic store that's simply a joy to visit.

We were on a hunt for a white toyota 4Runner, but didn't have any luck--but it was still cool to look through all the hot wheels that were on display along with other nostalgic toy figures and more throughout the store.

I've seen other people on here complaining about the prices that he charges, which are a little bit marked up, but to his defense, he is a small business owner and has to pay the bills. The markup isn't anything crazy like somebody on here claimed, very fair prices plus you don't have to pay for shipping and can get it same day. Thank you, Ray.
