JVC is selling lemons (at least on their low end equipment)

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 11:45:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I've had good luck on electronics over the years. This DVD player was a surprising exception. I chose the JVC because of the very strong feature set and brand name. Summary: great feature set but player is likely not to work. I wanted a DVD...

Stewart Toys: Acceptable: slow to fulfill the order; weak support

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 20:35:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - In my original review of Stewart Toys I had indicated some skepticism and said I would return when the order was fulfilled (there was a three day delay between placing the order and shipping - at the time I wrote my original review, I had requested an...

I didn't want one but I'm happy with it

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 19:31:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I didn't want one but my girlfriend wanted it so. . . I am now the proud owner of a Toyota Highlander (all-wheel drive, V-6, all options).

I'm not a big fan of SUVs but I can live with the Highlander which is saying a lot. It's clearly going...

Finally on epinions

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - If you're reading this you're either a Sinatra fan looking for some Sinatra worship or you're trying to figure out which of the zillion Sinatra discs to purchase. This review is for those of you in the latter group. In brief: Swingin' Lovers is a...

Sony DAV-S300: Dream may be overstating it

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:12:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I like this system (Sony calls it the Dream System) a lot -- but it's got some shortcomings that will matter to some consumers. The short answer is that it's a good value and that you should consult Mikemac's review as well -- I agree with most...

Your socks will stay on

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 13:25:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - The Panasonic CT27SF37 is a perfectly fine higher-end direct view tube television. That's it. The picture is generally satisfying but will not make anyone say "wow". It has most of the features most people would want. You get the idea...

UPDATED: I love this card (Chase's Bell Atlantic card)

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 20:06:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - Basically, this is the card to get if you have Bell Atlantic phone (landline or cellular) service and you don't travel too often (or don't like dealing with frequent flier mile hassles). [By the way, this review only applies to Chase's Bell Atlantic...

Create Envy

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 13:57:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I finally (Motorola was about one year late in shipping this product) got the new Motorola v.8160 ("Vulcan") phone a couple weeks ago. It's a CDMA 800mhz digital/analog phone with web browser. For residents of the northeastern U.S., that means...

Archived Electronics Reviews: Create Envy - v8160

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 18:51:17 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I finally (Motorola was about one year late in getting this product to market) got the new Motorola v.8160 ("Vulcan") phone a couple weeks ago. It's a CDMA 800mhz digital/analog phone with web browser. For residents of the northeastern U.S.,...

disappointing

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 00:07:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I had high hopes for my new purchase but I'm kind of disappointed. This is my second air conditioner purchase in 12 months. My first purchase was of a Panasonic and it is great. This second unit is for a second bedroom. I was hoping to buy a...

Keyspan Digital Media Remote: Works as promised

Mon, 15 May 2000 15:15:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - The real question is: Are you so lazy that you need a remote for your computer? (For me, since I bought the thing, the answer was yes but read on).

FUNDAMENTALS: As the other review states (see yanokwa's review), the remote is simple to set...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: UPDATED: You'll need one someday

Mon, 8 May 2000 13:19:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - As USB becomes more popular, you're likely to need a USB hub at some point in the future (unless manufacturers start building machines with more than a handful of USB ports -- which seems unlikely).

What should a hub do? Be as invisible and...

Best overall

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 20:08:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - The V is the clear choice vs. the Vx and any III series for most users. Why? Because, unless you need to download gigantic corporate phone directories, the Palm V should have more than enough memory for you (making the larger memory of the Vx...

Missing Features

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 19:23:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - You wouldn't normally check to see if a top of the line phone has certain common features -- and you'd be making a mistake. Most conspicuous example? No speakerphone mute button. Similarly, there's no redial button. You redial by hitting a sequence...

Virginconnect: Not worth it.

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 19:16:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Thoughtful - I signed up and received the new Virgin Webplayer a few days ago. The Webplayer (see www.virginconnect.com) is a little flat screen plus wireless keyboard that, through Prodigy, connects you to the web for $150 (I paid $100 in the initial promotion) for...
