A great shave every time

Thu, 5 Jun 2008 12:04:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - This review is of Braun Contour Series 5790, which I think is the same as Flex XP II 5790... I have pretty sensitive skin. Blades work okay but have always caused a lot of irritation, despite trying several brands and creams/gels. Also used a...

Good Quality and Flexible enough to accomidate any setup

Mon, 7 May 2007 13:32:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I have two LCDs, an old very large monitor and a smaller one next to it. Previously, the big one was on a Kensington 60106 and the small one stood on its own. I decided that this would be a good solution for both. I was worried that weight would be a...

Harmony Lightwiz Berkeley Torchiere H58110: Good, when it works.

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 20:56:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I wanted a torchiere light but didn't want the high heat and power usage of a standard halogen fixture. I got this, as it seemed to be the highest output of all available models. To start out with, this fixture is pretty easy to assemble. The...

Save your money, and don't buy the DVD either.

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 00:45:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I'm going to keep this short because this movie doesn't require much description. Take Journey to the Center of the Earth (the Jules Verne book). Remove the plot, the character development, and for the most part the characters themselves. Add a few...

Linksys Instant Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup (EG005W-UK) Networking Switch: Simple, Stackable, Works, but No Jumbo Frames!

Mon, 2 May 2005 19:35:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - There isn't too much to say about this, and that's good. It's a simple 10/100/1000 unmanaged network switch, so it requires no drivers or software. Plug it in and go. It includes a few brochures showing some example networks and how it can be used...

You can do better

Sun, 1 May 2005 22:52:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - Grabbed one of these to monitor some expensive equipment in a semi-public place. Figured for $120 or so it'd be a deal. The camera itself is a swiveling camera/lens assembly on a back panel. The lens (if you'd call it that) isn't much, maybe 3mm...

Simple, it Just Works

Sun, 12 Dec 2004 18:49:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - Updated- see end There isn't THAT much to say about this phone- and that's a good thing. When taken out of the package, you get a Base Station, a Charger Base (for the extension), two handsets, batteries, wires, power adapter, wall mount...

Crucial Technology Online Store: Excellent, this is the place to go

Fri, 16 Jul 2004 16:11:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I've been ordering from Crucial for several years now. The memory they sell is the top pick of Micron memory, and you couldn't make a better choice. It is always fast, stable, and carries a lifetime guarantee so if it ever stops working you will get an...

Great expansion for a 2400 system

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:48:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - first, this is not a cordless phone. This is an expansion to a Siemens 2400 series system. You will need a base station for this thing to work.

It works exactly the same as the cordless handset that came with the system. This is just a...

The phone that does it all

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 04:00:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I got my Nextel because several co-workers had them and loved the two-way radio feature. I have not regretted it since.

The phone comes complete with a standard battery, belt clip, charger, manual and Instructional Video. Yes, they made a...

Tektronix Phaser 850 Printer: Thinking of color laser? Think again! You want a Phaser.

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 08:29:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - Laser printers have always had the sharpest text, but no color. Inkjet has color, (often in near-photo quality), but is s.l..o...w... Color laser printers are a good intermediary if you don't mind heavy maintenance.

Enter the Phaser 850. Using...

Well worth the price

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 07:30:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - Most MP3 players are based on some sort of flash memory. Most start with 32 or 64 MB of internal memory, and many offer a way to add an (expensive) flash memory card to increase capacity. This offers about 30-60 minutes of music, and no moving parts...

iMac: run this commercial--- its worth it

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 13:24:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - Remember the outpost.com commercial where they had a cannon that tried to fire (fake) hamsters through a hole in a brick wall? I will never forget that commercial. But that commercial does not encourage cruelty towards small animals. Those things were...

No roaming fees... but usage fees instead

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 10:15:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - First, you have to remember one thing. GoAmerica is NOT a wireless access provider. They just resell access from other companies. The same way that say BellAtlantic will 'resell' you access when you roam out of their network.

The advantage...

Great little radio with lots of accessories

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 03:12:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - A few years ago, I bought a bunch of TA+ radios for use skiing. Since then, they have had many more uses. They claim a 2-mile radius (which I have not been able to test but is about accurate), but as long as you're in the same general area as the other...

i2Go MP3 96MB Player: Great in and out of the car

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 08:56:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I bought this thing about a year ago because it seemed like it would not get outdated. I was right. The eGo comes with a 96MB standard CompactFlash card which I also use in a digital camera and a handheld PC, all work at the same time without...

Avantgo: Great stuff... but buggy

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 02:17:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I have used Microsoft Mobile Channels and found the service very useful for getting the MSNBC news on my H/PC. However there comes the problem-- MSNBC news is one of the very few MMC's of any quality.

Enter AvantGo.

This service is like...

A great not-so-little PDA...

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:32:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I have had a few PDAs, including PalmPilot Pro, Palm3 (which is slowly dying) and a Jornada 680 (which I sent back because of some obvious design problems, you can read my review of it at

Great H/PC but has a few really obvious shortcomings

Thu, 6 Jan 2000 20:17:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - I got one of these a while ago. But it has so many really pretty obvious problems I decided to return it. But I am pretty picky.

Anyway.

It's a great little machine. The display is crisp and easy to see. There is a useful...

Great cam, battery life sucks

Thu, 6 Jan 2000 19:45:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IronHelix - This is a great little camera. The picture quality is excellent, and the display is great. USB transfers are very fast. It can capture up to a 30 second AVI movie, but it has no sound. It also has a panorama mode which really works well. What you do...
