Very good machine for 3 years and then it died

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:56:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I say "very good," as opposed to great, but this machine produced many a pot of great coffee. I love how the warmer plate is adjustable. I loved the way it looked in the kitchen, how easy it was to clean, how it was easy to load, easy to...

Disappointing. Potentially a good tire.

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 17:43:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I was thrilled to discover this tire. My thrill soured after a few rides. I found the tires on sale for 20 dollars a piece at PerformanceBike.com. They have a marvelous top pressure (150 psi), thread count (120, I think), kevlar bead, flat...

Decent little pump; limited durability

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:00:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I chose the extra small size pump and was generally pleased with the low price and performance of this item. The extra small size allowed me to pop the pump into my bike jersey pocket and scarcely notice it. It was a featherweight item. Note the...

Stiff and fast; lovely bike

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 20:01:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I adore my 2002 Marin Argenta, even though mine has lower grade components. The frameset is stiff and fast. It's not as light as one might suppose, but this is partly aggravated by my Shimano 105 level componentry. The fork feels fairly stable...

Excellent bike. Bargain Price. Great starter!

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:09:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - A great starter bike for someone with Lance fever. This is a racing style road bike. It's very cheap (usually about $300 or so used) yet really well built! Made by Trek. Reynolds 520 steel tubing. Not the lightest, but very strong and very...

Broke after a few months of use

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 18:13:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - Lousy unit. Typically crappy Black & Decker product. First the handle snapped off. We could live without the handle, though it did vibrate and make even more noise afterward, which was a drag in the bedroom. Then the unit completely stopped...

A disappointment. FLATS. Low durability!

Thu, 10 Feb 2005 04:15:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I am not very pleased with these tires. I have two brand new red tires. In 8 rides I have had four flats (all on the front). Two were with brand new tubes , a third was one that I repaired. All three times I wiped the tire clean with a wet rag...

This upgrade did nothing for me

Mon, 6 Dec 2004 14:24:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - We currently use an older Microsoft MN500 wireless router, which has been a bit disappointing to us. Our main need is to get reception in the basement, and the MN500 just wasn't giving good coverage. So we decided to get a new "G" unit and hope for...

Outstanding little pack! Cheap, strong, versatile, expansive.

Sat, 10 Apr 2004 16:05:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - The pack shown by Epinions.com is called the Ascent 2500 TL. Mine, bought about 2 years ago, looks exactly the same. It was called the EMS Trekker 2500. So if you're searching for a used pack, keep that alternative search in mind. I use this pack...

Love it! Had it for 3-4 years--flawless quality.

Sat, 15 Nov 2003 19:25:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - Outstanding unit. Just have no complaints on this thing. Plays nicely, rewinds in blazing speed. Quality pictures and tracking. Nice remote control. It's just hard to believe that such a cheap VHS could be so good! And after 3-4 years, s...

Don't even consider using this useless thing.

Sat, 6 Sep 2003 17:17:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I wouldn't use this thing, even if we'd bought it at a garage sale for a nickel. Unfortunately, we probably paid fifteen bucks for it, and it's going back to Target. This gate fails to secure itself--it can easily be pushed or pulled over, possibly l...

Not as bad as I thought

Fri, 25 Jul 2003 20:08:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I was very mad at this toaster at first. Then I realized the simple trick (see below) You get: a nice looking toaster oven, apparently with Krups quality built in (I've only had it for 2 months, so I won't vouch for its durability). I thought it...

Decent enough clock. Nice options; hard to use.

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 16:28:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - My wife an I are very attached to this clock. I took a $20 chance on this at the local thrift store and I reasonably glad I did. The greatest feature of the clock is its nature sounds, which can be used as the alarm, or simply as noise to keep out...

Complete rip off. Don't be fooled by the looks.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - Looking at the price tag and the beauty of this kettle, you might think this was a really fine instr...

Look elsewhere: these things are not well built.

Fri, 6 Jun 2003 20:08:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I'm glad *SOME* people have had luck with these. I've had two (1 to replace a non-functional old one), and my parents had one. These three units were all horrible!

I forget now why the first one broke, but dealing with Black and Decker on...

Avoid this unit, unless you can find one for under 50 cents.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - Salad spinners are great tools, but few really last or work that well. I've been using salad spinners for twenty years, and I'd rank the Copco near the bottom.

I just found an Oxo at a garage sale, and am hopeful that it will be much better...

Amazing wagon! A fantastic bargain.

Fri, 30 May 2003 16:53:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dylanfly - I bought my 85 Nissan Sentra wagon with 135,000 miles on it (and a newly rebuilt engine). I've had it for over 9 years now, and had scarcely had any problems at all! I've used it like a work truck--to transport yard waste, haul loads of books/boxes...
