Another viable option for GPS consumers

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:14:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - BUYING DECISIONS: Price is always a good motivator and when I saw the 760 at Costco for almost half it's original MSRP I was hooked. We have a StreetPilot 2650 and recently sold a 2610. Both are older technology, bulky but still decent sized screens...

An Excellent Player at Recent Prices

Tue, 1 Apr 2008 01:47:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - BACKGROUND: I hesitated jumping into a dual player. Mainly because of the complexity involved with integrating two high definition formats with all the associated hardware and software requirements. Then there were the reports early on that dual players...

A great cooking machine!

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:45:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - We purchased this wok with our primary objective being to stir fry veggies and maybe more. I was sold on the idea of a submersible cooking element for ease of cleaning, as well as complete temperature control. Breville provides both and then some,...

Powerful, efficient and easy to use

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - We have had our Breville for 2 weeks now. I chose this model largely due to our great experience with our Breville electric wok. The company has excellent customer service; they answer questions and act on requests promptly. We never had a juicer...

Excellent replacement performance tire

Wed, 5 Sep 2007 14:58:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - Performance is in the eye of the driver. These tires (All Season Tech M550) are designed to replace stock HP or other high priced performance tires. At the time I only found these tires at www.tirerack.com More about that later. I have an Infiniti G35...

Excellent photographic tool for the amateur or semi-pro

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 16:58:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - There are tons of data, features lists, reviews and descriptions for the Rebel XTi on the internet or newstands. Rather than replicate this same material ad nauseum, I will relate my own personal experiences in using this camera. I find this to be...

Very good looking, cooks well, but be cautious!

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 02:28:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I go along basically with skidderss' review of this oven. It is modern, sleek, and well made by all accounts. And heats evenly and for me, fast enough. I am also a former Black & Decker owner, and I was surprised to find this one has no timer. There...

Good quality spa for a reasonable price

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 15:27:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - We wanted a small spa, so we chose the United 8 from United Spas Mfg, of Salida, CA. It holds 3 persons, but offers a fully digital control system, 220 Volt option, and 30 jets. The advantage of a United Spa became more obvious the more we looked into...

Excellent combination of touring comfort & performance

Sat, 2 Sep 2006 23:46:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I also purchased a used 2004 coupe. Diamond Graphite with the premium package, Sport 18" wheels which includes limited slip differential. It has the 5 speed auto which comes with a manual mode. The thoughtful owner also had a clear bra installed to...

Heavy, cumbersome, but great sounding!

Sat, 13 May 2006 22:17:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - When my wife was about to teach a summer class in Hawaiian dancing, I ordered the JVC box. At the time, we did not know for sure she what size class she would have, or the size of the room. We had looked at several different boomboxes at Target, and...

Works just fine!

Sat, 6 May 2006 17:32:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I had some reservations on purchasing this, since it is basically a 'Hoover' and I am aware of folks having a problem with some of the Hoover shampoo machines, especially with containers cracking and leaking. That's why I like this one. Besides the...

Nice machine with some caveats!

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 20:18:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - Ok.. I was sure someone else had written a review of this cleaner; I remember reading it before, but it must have been under another topic. Go figure... Anyway, it is not a 500 dollar vacuum, unless you are willing to pay that much. To me, $400 tops...

Some things lacking to make it a good experience over all.

Sun, 25 Dec 2005 20:41:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I like the location, and general cleanliness and upkeep of the house and grounds. Centrella is very neat, with good parking, and convenient to stores and restaurants, as well as popular attractions. On the negative side, the food is quite ordinary...

Good solid machine for a fair price

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 13:52:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I have had this gym for 2 years now. I can say it is a very effective form of exercise, with a moderate ability to re-shape the body. Like anything related to exercise, regular use and consistency will pay off. Assembly is not difficult if a bit...

Terk TV50 Outdoor/Indoor TV Antenna (authorized retailer): Waste of money in my opinion....

Tue, 2 Dec 2003 03:16:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I think this antenna is sucky. Not even sure why I got it. I know I got it originally for picking up local stations before satellite had them available. Then I said, heck with it, now they have them for another 5 bucks a month, so put the TV50 away. I...

Better coffee for a good price...

Mon, 1 Dec 2003 15:47:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - As a coffee lover, I was interested in anything that can enhance the enjoyment of the beverage. I am not at the point of roasting raw beans, which I understand is the purist's answer to the finest brew. But I was aware that conventional blade cutters...

Sony VAIO Notebook PC with Intel Pentium 4 Processor (pcg-grt100c) PC Notebook: Excellent all around laptop

Fri, 17 Oct 2003 16:41:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - It is very difficult to isolate all the features on VAIO laptops by model number. There are so many variations of specifications, and also changes related to production dates. Basically, I have the Pentium 4 2.8 ghz, 512mb ram, CD/DVD+-RW, 15" XGA-TFT sc...

Can't go wrong!

Thu, 24 Oct 2002 18:18:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - My Pioneer CV-36 5 disk player just stopped playing CDs. Supposedly it could play CD-Rs, but I had problems with that also.

On video and home theater sound it was fine, I had no complaints. I don't have a TV that can take Progressive Video, even...

An SUV with class and more...

Wed, 22 May 2002 13:29:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I previously reviewed a 2002 based on a test drive. I now own a 2002 with just under 1000 miles.

We purchased the vehicle (MSRP) in Southern Calif. (we live in Northern CA) as we wanted a specific color and these are in high demand. I was tired...

Better value now at today's price!

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 20:05:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I purchased the PC110 as a photo partner to my Sony DSC-S85 digital still camera. It gives me great capability on those photo jaunts to have the flexibility of a superior digital still and video camera, with the bonus that they share the same power...

A serious reassessment

Tue, 5 Mar 2002 17:58:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - I have reviewed this vehicle because I have been shopping for an SUV. I was hesitant to write anything, until I noticed at least half the reviewers do not even own this vehicle!

So I decided to jump in and join the fray.

I was also...

Excellent value & Lot of potential

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 22:34:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - In the price range, I have not found anything that does as well with little fuss than the DSC-85. For a fair majority of users it will suffice as a point & shoot camera, but require more patience to get superior images under less than idea conditions...
