A great mower for the price - stacks up against the best.

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 22:37:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - . I went in search of a new mower to replace my 12 year old Snapper Hi-Vac that was on life support. In case you can’t tell by its age, I really liked the old Snapper and it provided many years of good service with minimal maintenance. I wanted a...

Works as good as it looks

Sun, 8 Jul 2007 22:59:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - Bosch weighs in with a great new electric cooktop. This thing is as smooth as Barry White’s voice. This is my fourth and final review of all of the new appliances that we installed during a recent kitchen remodel. We’ve become what some might...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - Here’s yet another review of one of our new Bosch appliances. We recently remodeled our kitchen and went with a complete suite of matching Bosch appliances. I am a bit of a Bosch aficionado, but I won’t let it influence this review – I...

bellacor.com: Poor at best

Wed, 4 Jul 2007 22:19:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - I really hate to give any negative reviews, but I can honestly say - Don't bother ordering from Bellacor. While their prices and selection are great, I have had a hard time getting the products that I ordered. Judging from the other reviews here - I'm...

Only Modest Performance From an Industry Leader

Fri, 8 Jun 2007 21:54:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - We recently renovated our kitchen recently and that means new appliances. This is the 2nd remodel that we have done in the last 4 years. And of course that means all new appliances. A few years ago we bought a new Bosch washer & dryer. Ever since...

Thu, 7 Jun 2007 11:29:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - We’ve moved since my last kitchen appliance review and we finally got around to another complete kitchen remodel. And of course that means all new appliances. A few years ago we bought a new Bosch washer & dryer. Ever since then, we’ve turned...

2006 Pontiac G6: On the right track, but not winning the race

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 00:40:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - “Warmer, warmer, warmer…..almost there…..” The Pontiac G6 is a good car in many ways, but it still has a way to go to catch the class leaders. GM has put forth a solid car that could be improved on in a few ways to make it even better...

Buy This Phone !

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 00:24:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - Move over Razr - The new standard in slim phones is here. Now for something better. This is an excellent phone overall and a great alternative to the Razr. I must confess that I had been living in the dark ages of cell phone technology with my old...

More Bang + Less Buck = Panasonic

Mon, 4 Dec 2006 18:11:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - While Pioneer, Hitachi, & NEC have some impressive display panels for $1K-$2K more, the Panasonic TH-42PX60U is probably the best Plasma TV available at the sub $2000 price point right now. That’s saying a lot considering the available models and...

Convenience and Efficiency Combine To Form A Great Dishwasher

Tue, 7 Nov 2006 15:13:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - Let me start by saying that I love this dishwasher, but it isn’t without its quirks. We bought ours in July 2004 and have loved it ever since. The DD603 is a genius concept in terms of convenience & efficiency. It’s a shame that, perhaps, this...

A good plasma display *

Wed, 1 Nov 2006 19:14:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - This is a good, inexpensive (that’s a relative term) plasma display. Prices are dropping and quality is getting better in the world of flat screens. This Samsung is an solid plasma display for the masses, but this one may not satisfy true...

Another Solid Makita Product

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 14:26:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - This is another excellent power tool from Makita. I own a mixed bag of power tools from Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Craftsman, and others. Certain brands have reputations for making the best of a certain tool (i.e. Milwaukee’s corded drills and sawzalls),...

Sorry 3-Series - Audi tops the entry level luxury car segment

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:18:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - Let me first begin by saying that this is an excellent car. Audi has taken some major leaps forward with the new B7 model A4 and they may have the best small luxury vehicle out there with this car. If you are looking at the 3-Series or C-Class then you...

Excellent Watch All Around

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 12:23:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - A superb alternative to the usual (Rolex) and quite possibly the perfect watch. The IWC Mark XV is the latest in a long line of Pilot’s style watches spanning decades from IWC. It has clear historical ties, yet is relative in a modern...

Holy Power Batman !!

Fri, 9 Dec 2005 13:55:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - I was doing some demo work at my house recently and was in need of a sawzall (reciprocating saw). Conveniently my good friend has a Milwaukee corded model so I went to his house to borrow it. When I got there he pulled out his new toy – a...

My Love Hate Relationship w/ VW

Tue, 8 Nov 2005 00:31:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - UPDATED 7/12/06 Let me first say that this was not my first or last German car. There's just something about the European design that attracts me to it. I am fully aware that German cars need to be "attended to" more than their Japanese & American...

Excellent Tool from Makita!!

Mon, 7 Nov 2005 17:26:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - My 1960’s B&D jig saw (with the old steel body construction - from when B&D still made good tools) was on its way out. It was time to start searching for a new one and my first inclination was to get a Bosch. I have been slowly upgrading...

Expect the Best From German Engineering II

Fri, 17 Jun 2005 09:21:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - This it titled as number II since this Siemens washer is on the epinions site under two different names (I know that there are two different Ultrasense washer models, but this particular model is on the site 2 times) so I thought I would list the review...

Mustang Renaissance - Is America on its way back?

Fri, 6 May 2005 21:50:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - I had the pleasure of driving the new Ford Mustang Convertible on a weekend through Connecticut. Over three days I logged about 15 hours behind the wheel in city, highway, and back road driving. I have been a luxury brand driver for quite some time...

Motorola V265 Cellular Phone: So-So product from Motorola

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 15:47:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - A Not So Good Motorola Product I’ve had quite a few cell phones over the years and this one is not memorable in any way. I work in the telephone industry and I am familiar with telephone features and functionality from office systems to cellular...

Expect the Best From German Engineering !!!

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 13:05:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - I actually own the Bosch "Nexxt" washer & dryer. The Bosch "Nexxt" series is exactly the same as the Siemens "ultraSense" with the exception of a few cosmetics. They were both made by Bosch in the same plant on the same assembly line...

Torque, Torque, and more Torque!!!!

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 14:03:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - This incredibly powerful drill makes just about any drilling task easy. I was looking to replace my worn out Craftsman 18v cordless with something a little nicer. I was originally looking for another 18v drill when I came across this little beauty on...

Good Basic Saw, Good Price, Good Value

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 12:54:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - A good basic saw for the price – especially if you can find it on sale. This will meet the needs of most hobbyist woodworkers who don’t have a lot of cash to shell out for a more expensive saw. I should begin by saying that there are 2...

A Good Little Drill Press

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 16:18:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author branshew - I just bought this little Delta DP200 Drill press a few weeks ago and have since put it through a few tests and it has passed all of them with no problems. It is the smallest of the Delta brand drill presses, but don't let that discourage you as has...
