A good deal for an LCD TV

Sat, 3 Dec 2005 15:18:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - We picked up this TV on a whim from Costco to replace an old and dying 19" picture tube TV we were using in our kitchen. First impressions: It's a good-looking TV, both the case of the TV and the picture it produces are pleasing. The set comes with...

Promises unfulfilled

Fri, 2 Dec 2005 22:55:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - If you want to share a printer with multiple computers on your network you need a print server. The IOGear was going to step in and fill that role for our family. The print server is fairly easy to set up and configure. It auto-detects the printer...

which we loved until the day we sold it. It was an amazing machine. Unfortunately the...

The most quiet and flexible dishwasher I have ever owned

Thu, 26 Dec 2002 02:04:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - Background We remodeled our kitchen and as a part of that remodel, we replaced all of the appliances including a seven-year-old Kenmore dishwasher that was noisy (even though it was an "Ultra Quiet III"), had a tendency to get stuck in cycles and...

All the functionality you could want to take with you

Sat, 20 Apr 2002 01:56:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - Laptops are becoming more ubiquitous as they become as powerful and performant as desktops. When shopping for my new machine, I realized I wanted to have the ability to take my desktop with me wherever I happened to be so a laptop was the obvious...

Microsoft Windows XP Professional (E85-00086) For PC: XP, What Windows should have been all along

Sun, 17 Feb 2002 17:23:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - I've used Microsoft OSes since Windows 1.0 (okay, really since MS-DOS 2.1 but who's counting?) and I can say Microsoft has finally gotten it completely right - they started getting it right with Windows NT 4.0 and have continuously improved since then...

Great mix of price and performance with few compromises

Sun, 17 Feb 2002 15:44:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - I like things to last - my college CD player and receiver had given up the ghost after 13 short years of hard use and multiple moves - how dare it! It was time to replace my system. I auditioned systems from Pioneer, JVC, Onkyo, B&W and Denon. I...

Miele S300 Bagged Canister Vacuum: Bet you never thought you could love a vacuum

Fri, 25 May 2001 13:55:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - We needed a good vacuum and quick - we had a huge clean-up job on our hands. For months I had been talking about replacing our extremely noisy, only marginally effective Dirt Devil and had looked at the Hoover, Eureka and Panasonic uprights (it's what...

Great service regardless of geography

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 23:54:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - I left a (big) bank and never looked back! When I moved from the east coast to the west coast my current bank had no branches - so I joined the company's credit union. What a surprise to have tellers that know my name and seem to take pride in a...

There are better cards and better service

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 23:40:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - In 1990, while still in college, I picked up an AT&T Universal Visa as my first credit card. The calling card features, insurance protection and rolling bonus programs were big attractions. For the time it offered such a great package of services, I...

Not even useful for light home use

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 14:08:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - This shredder replaced a Fellowes ShredStick which worked flawlessly for hours on end but did not cross-cut shred. Pulling the shredder out of the box, one would think it's a substantial device capable of easily shredding five sheets at a time, for...

Fun, high quality car

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 23:39:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - The Audi A6 offers something no other car in this class offers, an all-wheel-drive sedan which was the most attractive feature. Once Audi offered a manual transmission in the A6 trim with the 2.7 liter turbo-charged engine (a great performance...

Great machine in every way

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 19:16:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidChar - When we needed a washer for our new house, we knew that environmental stewardship was high on our list of needs for our new washer, this made a front loading (H-axis) washer tops on our list. After looking at front loading washers from Frigidaire,...
