Not all features are created equally

Wed, 31 May 2006 16:48:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - Convergence products are those cool ideas that blend two or three functions in one unit. In this case, GE combined a microwave oven, convection oven and radiant heat halogen cook unit in a single, 110V, over the range unit. I bought this because we...

Thoughtful car under $17K

Tue, 30 May 2006 20:58:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - Buying a car is not an impulse purchase in my world. I spend time - too much time - researching and analyzing the possibilities. So when it came time to buy a car I looked at everything in the under $20K segment that met certain criteria: better than...

Efficient, Well-Designed Family Fridge

Wed, 22 Sep 2004 12:37:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - We recently remodeled our kitchen in a 1901 home with serious space constraints. The refrigerator had to be no more than 32" wide to fit into the design but we needed 20 cubic feet of space for a family of five. That rules out most side-by-side models...

Canon Optura 200MC Mini DV

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 22:26:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - After several months of use, I have grown attached to my Optura 200MC. The digital still camera takes acceptable 1.33MP stills, has a pop-up flash and an SD card slot. Since most of my pictures end up on the web or in 3x5 prints, the resolution is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - After running to Kinko's twice a week for over a year, I wanted to add a color laser printer to my small office without killing my budget. Minolta's 2300W fits on a desk, prints via USB or parallel port and operates in relative silence compared to...

Spend a little more and like your knives

Sun, 1 Jun 2003 00:21:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - These knives felt great at first. They are weighted well. The handles feel solid, even substantial. But after a few weeks, every knife takes a little joy out of the cooking experience. The chopping knife fails to chop herbs; it makes pesto out of...

Latitude C600 a great balance

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 00:41:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - I'm partial to Dell because of their excellent service and support. As a system administrator I love companies that stand behind their products and actually show up the next day to fix problems.

On to the Latitude C600. This not the...

I hate loud dishwashers

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 16:55:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - And this one is NOT LOUD. When I first installed the Maytag - which I did myself - I was disappointed when I turned the switch and nothing happened. But wait? What was that faint, soft sound? Was that the sound of a dishwasher? I was astonished to...

But what does a PDA really do?

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 13:32:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - I love electronic gadgets and I have owned everything from a watch calculator to a phone dialer. But nothing has approached the functionality of my Palm V. At first, I was attracted to Windows CE PDAs from Philips and HP - if you are in the same space,...

Great second printer

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 20:54:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - Lexmark's Z11 is a great throw away printer for the kids or a second printer for proofing out images. While the rebate stickers make the price irresistible, be aware that you give up some features to get below $60. The Z11 supports one print cartridge...

Not your brother's Toyota

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 18:23:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - I purchased a 1992 Saturn SL2 because I bought into the Saturn vision of a new design. Having worked in the automotive industry as a mechanical design engineer, I understood the technical challenges of designing a new car, new factory, new dealer...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - LLBean's White Mountain and MT Washington packs are a must for those looking for an internal frame pack with lots of features for a reasonable cost. The White Mountain is roomy, offers a pull cord to cinch down a large load, and is full of features...

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 21:21:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - Subaru has a winning product with the 1999 Legacy Outback Wagon. Living in the Pacific Northwest, water covered roads are typical for 6 months out of the year. With a refined all-wheel-drive systems, the Legacy stays solidly in control at highway...

You get what you pay for

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 21:01:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cerretani - I bought a 1998 Sportage based on it's low price, decent equipment list, and reasonable performance during test drive. Not expecting sport car performance, I was not overly disappointed by the Sportage's poor acceleration. Visibility is excellent from...
