ActionBent Recumbent Bicycles: Great cycle, great price, and good folks to deal with!

Sun, 3 Sep 2006 18:18:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I ordered their "high racer" model. At the prices these cycles were offered, I really was not expecting a bike with a great fit/finish. I was completely, and quite pleasantly surprised. Not wanting to wait for a few weeks (who does?) I selected a model...

Change name to "U-Walk"

Sun, 3 Sep 2006 16:26:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - Oh, boy, where to begin with this "adventure in moving"? Move was to help my neighbor's daughter on her way to school. The truck reserved was a 14 foot (small) truck. weeks passed, we went to the dealer to pickup the vehicle. 8:00 in the AM, and no...

well built, questionable design

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - The DAO sanders have always been the anchor of auto body work, and after owning one for any length of time, you will find that they are a necessity in the woodshop. I found the De Walt to be a bit “top heavy” the gyro effect of the motor can be a...

Great router. well worth cost

Thu, 31 Mar 2005 04:21:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I purchased my Makita 1101 (plunge base version) to replace a very disappointing Porter Cable 890 (oh, boy, what a disaster that "tool" was. but that is another review) I was very pleasantly surprised. well made, good finish to the whole tool. The...

bagless, should be called the "hopeless"

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - If you're looking for a small portable convenience vacuum cleaner, it would be a good idea to keep looking because you sure haven't found it! (Model # 08240) granted, this small vacuum does make noise like a vacuum, and is shaped rather like one would...

One of the best values in high power routers.

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 23:31:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I purchased my Freud as a replacement for a well-aged Porter Cable. At first I was a bit hesitant to deviate from my allegiance to Porter’s products. After pricing similar featured/powered products I came to the conclusion that Porter had overpriced...

Grizzly scores a perfect 10

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 18:36:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I love it, replaced an aged rockwell. At well under half the cost of similar featured Rockwell/delta saws I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality more than rivaled them. More than enough power, the table is milled/ground true, the slots are...

Useless as they come

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 18:20:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I don't know where to begin, there are more bugs in this than I care to mention... but for a start... Good luck removing old captures from your drive, doing so involves a search-and-destroy mission. What, you expect the delete captured clips control to...

over 1,500 hrs of use, still going strong

Tue, 5 Aug 2003 20:02:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - Ok, the Lowrance GLOBALMAP 100 has been out for a while. Not exactly the newest, most zoot GPS on th...

Amazon Marketplace: Utterly pathetic

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - After several weeks of consideration, I decided to purchase a Kitchen Aid mixer. A quick search onli...

Hewlett Packard HP Printer/Scanner/Copier 750 Ink-jet Printer: this printer just hates me.

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 18:25:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - while I was prepared for the generally huge size, And rather cheesy construction of this printer, I was in no way prepared to deal with the low quality, lack of functional software, lack of support, and lack of performance that this printer seemingly...

No more dull knives

Fri, 6 Dec 2002 05:13:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - This sharpener, at first, may seem a bit high priced. In the end, well worth the cost.

Really, little is as annoying as trying to cut something with a knife that resembles a caveman's chipped piece of flint. You know the kind... that knife...

Sometimes more isn't better

Fri, 6 Dec 2002 04:44:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - I had planned my ELAN 2e as a replacement for an A-1, and F-1... both a bit long in the tooth, and showing their age (besides, the dreaded A-1 shutter squeak was about annoying) I like all the gadgets, and features of the A-1... the ELAN has them all,...

a car you love (to hate), but wouldn't give up.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chesshire_cat - Well, after 20 years, one thing I can say... at least JZD was consistent... all owners I have talked to have had the same thing fail... usually nothing major. The PRV seems to be a decent powerplant, at least for a moped. in original (non-turbo) form it...
