Best I have owned

Tue, 24 Dec 2002 17:45:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I suppose I should start by saying that I have only used the tent half a dozen times. The most impressive feature in my opinion is the complete water tightness of the shelter. I have set up camp in very damp areas (near a creek, by the ocean, and in a...

When I first got this rack I was quite impressed with its ease of use and great flexibility it had added to owning a sedan. The salesman at the store showed me how to attach the rack to the trunk on my car and it seemed easy enough at the time. I...

great bag

This bag has quite a few attributes. It packs very small I think is simply perfect for three season backpacking. It rolls into a tiny bundle that I hardly even notice at the bottom of my pack. It is extremely light, a definite advantage on longer...

Great on the road

I decided to get a CD changer for quite a few reasons. I had a long trip coming up across country and I am sure everybody knows how hard it is to catch a radio station in the middle of nowhere. Also I was currently living in a state that does not...

not if you care about your fish!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I do not have too much experience keeping bettas. I have had mine only for a few months however it is obvious to me that a small container like this is a huge problem.

Firstly, as a pet owner one must think about the well being of the animal...

Never again

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 14:43:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I realize that sometimes one just has some bad luck and the travel experience is not as great as you would like it to be. After all, the airlines cannot control the weather or technical emergencies. What does matter however is the way the personnel...

WOW!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 -

I have been riding the Karakoram on and off, altogether I have been on the bike probably only half a dozen times. My husband owns the bike and unfortunately the frame is too large for me to handle comfortably. This does not discourage me from...

The one to stick with

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 11:53:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have gone through quite a few brands of dog food. I have been trying to combat some of the problems my Labrador seems to get into. Firstly, there is the weight gain that we have been struggling with for quite a long time. NutroMax is the only food that...

Poor quality, poor price

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have had more than my share of problems with this printer. At first it seemed very nice and I was excited to have a color printer for my graphs and presentations. That was before I realized that it came with quite a few bugs. Firstly, like many of the...

Great Camera - best for the buck

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 19:29:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - The camera seems to have more features than one can learn in a day. In fact I think there is a tendency to forget a lot of available options that make the final video look really professional. I was quite pleased with both the picture quality and the...

Does't get better than this

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 13:25:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - When you think about how much value you are getting for just $20 it boggles the mind! The book includes over 1000 hikes and has provided me with countless hours of great hiking and backpacking. It covers the entire state and gives you directions to the...

Generic Moving Services: great service

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 -

We have used Allen Auto because they were recommended by friends and also happened to offer the lowest quote for our move. We shipped an SUV from California to New Jersey. The company approximated a travel time of 10-14 days and vehicle was...

Chance it

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 14:23:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have been a migraine sufferer for about ten years now. I am currently quite happy with a prescription medication that works if taken early enough. When that's not available at the moment (the cure is $75 per tablet - and often I try other avenues...

Perfect for campus and outdoors

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 09:33:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I opted for a cable lock because of its versatility. The available longer cable option comes in very handy because the fact is that where you lock up your bike will not always be perfect for the U-lock. I would in fact feel very restricted with the...

bad luck

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 22:37:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have had pretty bad luck with the airlines. I am not quite sure if it is just a coincidence or a general rule. Every time I have flown (I have used the airline about seven times now due to fairly reasonable rates) the flights were late departing and...

Good Reference but outdated

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 21:46:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have had the book for a few years now. I bought it as an undergrad and found it to be very useful for general reference resource. It answers to all the basic information needs and has some extras - like an entire chapter on Hemoglobin. The book is...

not for the long run

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 17:07:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have had the camera for a few years. It started out performing fairly well - the pictures were decent. I was however dissapointed with the zoom capabilities - it seemed like it was not adequate for the landscape pictures I wanted to take. Also the fact...

great quality

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 09:36:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have received my camera as a gift about a year and a half ago. This was to be my first semi-professional piece of equipment and I was quite intimidated. I have done extensive reading on the basics of photography prior to getting a camera and it turned...

A good bet

Tue, 4 Jul 2000 15:04:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - I have had fairly good luck with the product. I have used it up in Northern California woodlands where the mosquito problems can get pretty much unbearable at night time. Application in my experience has successfully repelled unwanted insects. I do have...

Trek 800 Sport: Great value

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 09:14:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker88 - Trek 800 is the first quality bicycle I have purchased. I have used for a daily 10 mile commute for about a year now and it has not let me down once. Great suspension helps on not so friendly city roads and the breaking system is quite dependable. I...
