Top Tier Performance - Bottom Tier Customer Service

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:52:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I was a bit dubious initially if the "dual channel" feature OCZ promotes in the name of this flash drive actually made any tangible real world difference in performance or if it was just marketing hype. Pleasantly, both the read and write performance...

HTPC/Media Center PC Heaven... at a price!

Mon, 5 May 2008 13:25:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - A Home Theater or Media Center PC provides a level of versatility that no DVD Player, Tivo-style DVR, Playstation 3 / XBox 360, or AppleTV-like set-top box can match. The problem is, to actually use all the comprehensive functionality a Media Center PC...

Not perfect but better than most.

Thu, 1 May 2008 10:16:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - Let's start off with size, since that's going to be quite important for something you're going to have stuck in your ear. It can be very difficult to get any perspective from a lot of the photos of this bluetooth earpiece. So, think of it as about the...

Good value with one major caveat.

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 10:32:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - This 802.11b/g wireless router can routinely be found on sale and with a manufacturer's rebate bringing the net cost down to under $20 and periodically even FAR (Free After Rebate). The box contains the power supply, quick-start guide, cd-rom (which...

Features Galore = Good Overall Value

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:23:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - This keyboard has come to be considered one of the premier gaming keyboards. This is primarily due to the 18 buttons grouped along the left side of the keyboard which can be completely customized and programmed for any functionality you desire and for...

Blockbuster Entertainment Online Store: Total access is great but doesn't make up for all the other shortcomings!

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:57:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I have tried BlockBuster Online several times now and each has been an utter disappointment. Since the cons far outweigh the pros, I will list them first. Cons: 1. They routinely ignore your queue and send titles further down the list EVEN WHEN you...

You DON'T get what you pay for!

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 21:44:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I wanted to like this bread machine, I really did. And let's face it, it's usually pretty easy to like something when you're able to get it using a free gift card you received to the store. But even though it didn't actually cost any money out of my...

Top Contender In Its Class

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 13:33:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - So, what does almost everyone REALLY want to do when they get their new camera??? Ignore the manual and start taking pictures, right?! Well, Pentax wisely separated the camera's features into essentially two areas - basic and advanced modes. The camera...

ecampus.com: This company can not be trusted.

Mon, 14 Apr 2003 11:53:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I have placed several orders with Ecampus.com but not one of them has gone smoothly. The biggest problem is that they KNOWINGLY put a false in-stock status on items. I can say this from the personal experience of having numerous items show as...

Quality and Style

Tue, 25 Mar 2003 13:35:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - Let's start with some technical specs and explanations:

Each speaker contains one 4" bass driver which handles mid-low range frequencies, two 2.5" mid-high frequency drivers, and one 1" silk-dome tweeter for the ultra-high frequencies. What does...

Zenith Zenith ZHDTV1Z TV Antennas - Shipping: ($10) ZHDTV1Z: Best Indoor UHF/HDTV Antenna

Thu, 2 Jan 2003 12:41:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I had tried about a dozen different antennas before finding this little wonder. I had tried both indoor and outdoor as well as amplified and unamplified models. And despite the fact that all of them were considered (and priced) as high performance...

Newegg.com: The best of both worlds!

Mon, 9 Sep 2002 13:03:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - Rarely do you find a merchant which offers the very best prices AND the very best service. This is the case with NewEgg.com. If you are looking for virtually any computer hardware, parts, peripherals, etc. then there is no other merchant (either online...

Excellent choice for smaller yards!

Mon, 9 Sep 2002 12:52:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - Initial Clarification: Epinions mistakenly left a zero off the end of the model number for this mower. It is actually a CMM1000. (I just confirmed this from my owner's manual)

Now for the review:

This electric/cordless lawn mower is an...

An excellent alternative to gas for most.

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 18:31:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - This electric lawn mower is an excellent alternative to gas models DEPENDING on the layout of your lawn.

Let's start off with the PRO's:

Somewhat surprisingly, I have found this mower to be quite powerful and more than capable of...

It's All A Matter Of Time

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 12:58:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - This cordless trimmer is an excellent alternative to gas and cordless trimmers AS LONG AS you don't need to use it more than approximately 20 minutes per charge. Having said that, I guess I might as well go ahead and mention my only significant problem...

The best automatic can opener yet.

Wed, 5 Dec 2001 19:51:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - The Gizmo being cordless is one of its greatest benefits. This is very helpful because you can take it to the cans, you don't have to bring the cans to it. This is great when you have a lot of cans, especially heavy ones, to open. So there's no need...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - The Zojirushi Neuro-Fuzzy Rice Cookers (available in 5 and 10 cup capacities) are perfect products to illustrate the old saying "you get what you pay for."

General Reviews of Verizon Customer Service: Customer DISservice

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 15:19:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - In a year of cellular service with Verizon, I have yet to have a single excellent conversation with their "customer service". The front line reps are in serious need of training. Even worse is that the supervisors attempt to avoid taking...

Not ready for prime time.

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 18:20:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I chose to open a large account with American Express several months ago because I have been happy with their credit card customer service over the years and for the free trades.

Prior to opening the account I made a point of asking them if...

Outstanding value with a few shortcomings.

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 13:59:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MythSpell - I bought this unit since I liked the large feature set for the price and wanted to take advantage of the compu-link features with my JVC D-VHS Dish Network system. Unfortunately you can not link these two units even though the JVC promo literature makes...
