rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dkaakd - Last year my company forced me to drop my Cingular 8125 for a TREO 750 (Windows version). While I like the WM6 software, it does not seem to run applications or start-up as fast on the TREO as it did on my Cingular device. Moreover, the TREO screen was...

A Waste of Time and Money

Wed, 8 Dec 2004 15:59:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dkaakd - I bought this unit at Wallmart for $60.00. The idea was to have a compressor strong enough to drive a staple gun and inflate tires, rafts, and clean filters and such. The unit is quiet enough, but the motor overheats causing it to shut down and not...

Fri, 19 Sep 2003 12:37:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dkaakd - The Krups Cafe Dumo is a poorly made mass produced product that lacks the artistic appeal that many gourmet coffee drinkers look for in a kitchen machine. My wife bought me this machine for my birthday this summer, after two uses I returned it to the...
