Design flaws lead to leaks and ultimate unit failure

Sun, 31 May 2009 20:03:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I purchased this model in July 2008. In November 2008 the unit leaked and it took until December 22nd for them to replace a faulty gasket (Frigidaire knew the gasket was designed faulty).In May 2009, the dishwasher stopped working because steam...

Only see this if you LOVED the first two

Fri, 26 Jul 2002 11:14:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - This has to be the last of the Austin Power series. Firstly because they screwed around with the characters and roles so much at the end that it is tough to see where they could continue on from. But secondly and most importantly because although I...

A review in the style of Paul Harvey

Sat, 18 May 2002 15:15:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Good Morning Americans (and people of other nationalities) It's Saturday

As people awoke this morning they were greeted with the news that 5 out of 81 reviews of a certain vacuum cleaner on epinions.com used the gag "It Sucks" in...

Wyndham Palace Resort/Spa: Puts the Ahhh in Spa

Sat, 18 May 2002 14:13:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - You pay for what you get at this place.

Nothing is cheap, things that might be free at other hotels (eg. continental breakfast) cost you an arm and a leg here and as a result the resort caters to a class of well to do professionals.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Review note : I actually have the Iomega ZipCD DVD650 drive (not listed) which is exactly the same as the listed model with DVD capabilities added as an afterthought. However, my main concern in this review is the reliability of Iomega ZipCD drives for...

Buy the Fuji 80min CDRs. These are less reliable.

Wed, 15 May 2002 17:16:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - My rule for deciding whether a CDR brand is worth buying - if you get through a 50 pack with at most one failure, it's probably OK. More than that and you either need to reboot, check your CDR drive or buy different CDRs.

I've been using an...

The best value CDRs you can buy

Wed, 15 May 2002 17:05:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - The reasoning behind my extensive use of these CDRs will remain a mystery in this review. Suffice to say, I love listening to U2 - and they did a lot of touring last year. Nor do I really dare admit to how many of these CDs I have bought, but lets put it...

Linksys (BEFW11S4) 802.11b Wireless Access Point: Wireless networking made easy (for most)

Wed, 15 May 2002 12:41:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - As soon as I found out that the same wireless technology used in my office could be used in my apartment, I saw all the fun possibilities (as well as the serious business applications, but there are considerably fewer of those).

I figured out...

I must be doing something wrong

Wed, 15 May 2002 12:08:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I know multitudes of people who swear by their George Foreman grill. I swear at mine.

The novelty factor has definitely worn off, and while I still consider it an indispensable item in my kitchen, I don't look at it with the same...

Powerful, Durable (Who in their right mind does a microwave review?)

Wed, 15 May 2002 11:29:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - OK. I admit. I was bored. Bored of writing reviews of Star Wars and inkjet printers. I wanted to review something different. Something un-cool. So I decided to start reviewing items in my kitchen!

It's also quite a challenge, because when you...

Hewlett Packard OfficeJet g85XI Ink-jet Printer: If you have the space, this is the multifunction you've been looking for

Mon, 13 May 2002 18:57:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Good luck finding one of these in the stores (if you are reading this in May/June of 2002). HP had power supply problems with the machines and did a massive recall. As a result, we got one of the last available printers at Best Buy in the New England...

This casual Star Wars fan loved it

Sun, 12 May 2002 20:24:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - For fans (and casual movie-goers) who have seen episodes 1, 4, 5 and 6, this review gives away nothing that you couldn't have figured out for yourself prior to watching the movie. And that is the approach I want to take with the review.

To put...

Take the content of this book with a pinch of salt

Sun, 30 Dec 2001 02:16:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I give the author credit for taking on the task - singlehandedly writing a complete cross reference of every word, song, person and event that has crossed the path of U2 in the past 20 years... By no means an easy feat.

So it is little...

More than just an expensive gadget

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 00:53:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - First off, I paid $60 for my Logitech mouse/keyboard combo a year ago. I certainly wouldn't pay $100 for it. But $60 is a pretty decent price to pay for something this cool.

Logitech make quality products - you certainly wont feel as if you...

ViewSonic VG150 Flat Panel (TFT) Monitor: I love flat panel monitors

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:12:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I used to have a large ugly CRT 14" non-brand name monitor that took up half my desk and generated so much heat that even in a new england winter i had to open the windows. But that was 6 months ago...

If only we could all make money from our diary

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 21:44:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Have you ever kept a diary and then thought to yourself "I wonder if I could make money by selling this"? Dianne Beaff surely did.

If you missed out on the chance to go to shows in the eighties and nineties, don't worry - Dianne got to go to...

HP's prices are so great, either they will go broke or their competitors will!

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 21:21:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I'm going to avoid crabbing too much about how the n5490 laptop (which is basically the same as the n5390 laptop with a 1GHz processor and a CDRW drive) is selling for $200 less than what I paid for mine...

This laptop was by far the best...

Amazing sounds at 23am

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 13:28:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I really liked dreamland when he released that with all the catchy songs that went on to become club hits and background music staples. I found 23am by accident - nobody really announced that it was coming out. Which is a shame because this is a great...

An irresistable deal

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 23:11:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I got the Palm IIIxe for $206 (after tax) from Amazon.com (unfortunately the deal ended otherwise I would have let you know the code - check out dealcatcher.com to see if anyone else is giving a sale like this). I have sent off a $50 mail in rebate, to...

Cyberrebate.com: What a little thought can tell you

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 14:34:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - Free toaster after rebate

That's what the advert said on dealcatcher.com - I've made some excellent purchases by using dealcatcher, so why worry about this one? Free after rebate... well that's how I got Microsoft money at staples and that...

A little outdated. Great until the hinge breaks

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 13:01:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - A Psion 3a was the first PDA that I owned. At the time it was way in advance of anything else on the market. The fact that it has a keyboard (which is quite useable) makes it more useful for doing things like word processing than a pen based PDA (not...

Great for TV, 3d graphics not bad for a cheaper model

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 12:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I really don't make full use of the 3d graphics on this card, so I'm not going to write another review about how many megapixels it can draw in any given time span.

I played unreal on it and it looked pretty smooth at high resolutions. Tiger...

AT&T Broadband (formerly MediaOne) Digital Cable is cool!

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:40:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - I'm not amazed by AT&T's customer service. I doubt I will ever be amazed by customer service for a company that big. I'm actually 100% totally bored of their jingle music. At least the wait with the cable TV customer service is not as long as the...

catch this song live. it gets even better

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:18:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - When I first heard the song, I was pleased to hear U2 producing more of the same - great rock music. I admit, it took a while for the song to really grow on me, and there are other, better songs on the album... but U2 have really transformed this song in...

Good book for a general overview - watch out for errors

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:06:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author calebu2 - This book is far cheaper if you buy it in paperback through one of the UK bookstores - like bookshop.co.uk. I don't think it is worth the $80+ that they want for it in hardback in the US, but for £30 ($45) it's not a bad buy.

If you are doing...
