I'm addicted to my Lotus Sanitizer

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:10:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I've had my Lotus Sanitizing System for about 2 1/2 years and I'm hooked. How it works:I'm no scientist, but apparently the Lotus machine turns everyday tap water (H2O) into super-oygenated water (O3). This ozone-water is...

OK in a pinch, but mixed results with travel

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 22:55:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I bought one of these because it was so compact and perfect for travel/on-the-go use, and smaller than an older cordless curling iron I had that was falling apart. This is OK, but I've largely given up on using it because it just wasn't meeting my...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I've made photo books from Kodak, My Publisher and now Snapfish, and Snapfish is the best -- but there's a big caveat. Here's why: (these comments pertain to the 8x11 classic photo book) 1) The site is relatively simple to use. Yes, it takes time to...

Very Pleased with Tom Tom One 3rd Ed. (US Version)

Sat, 2 Feb 2008 23:30:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I've always been frustrated trying to read maps or printed directions while driving -- it's difficult to do both and easy to get lost. When I found the Tom Tom One 3rd Edition for an attractive price, it seemed like a smart investment -- and I'm now a...

Sharper Image Online Store: Wide selection of cool gadgets, but slooow shipping

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 12:32:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - Sharperimage.com offers a wide variety of cool electronics and other gadgets. Granted, shopping online is not nearly as fun as visiting a SI store, where you can try out those oh-so-relaxing massage chairs and play with the latest gizmos in person…...

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:37:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - With so many digital cameras out there, I wasn’t sure where to begin when looking for a new camera – but a key feature of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 quickly narrowed my search. I’ve now had this camera for a couple of months, and I would...

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 13:29:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I banked with Citizens Bank and its predecessor bank for about 10 years. Switching banks is a hassle, but I finally gave up on Citizens because of one too many disappointments. When a bank teller doesn't believe you have an account, even when you...

Thu, 17 May 2007 22:32:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I've been an ING customer since 2002 and I love this bank! Nothing tops ING, and I've had accounts with several different banks, so I should know. (that said, it does have a few itty bitty flaws) Perhaps the reason why everyone joins ING is their...

Signals Online Store: Quirky gifts... but overpriced and frequently disappointing

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 21:51:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I've shopped at Signals several times over the years, and almost every time, I'm left disappointed. You might wonder then, why do I continue to shop there? Only because I have several gift certificates that I need to use up. Products: I'll admit,...

Limited service but lots of value

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:10:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I recently stayed at the Club Quarters for a one-night business trip. After hearing several co-workers comment unfavorably about Club Quarters hotels in general, I was pleasantly surprised with the Boston property. No, it's not the Ritz, but for...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - My recent one-night stay at the Holiday Inn Baltimore-Towson was like stepping into a time warp, back to the days when my parents, siblings and I would pile into the family station wagon for vacation and end up at at least one Holiday Inn. The hotel...

Lands' End Online Store: Lands End: Quality tailored clothes... but what's with all that orange?

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:30:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - Lands' End used to be a shining example of a great company -- but recent experiences have left me questioning whether this reputation will last. I've been a loyal shopper of Lands' End for for 8-10 years, placing about 4-5 orders a year. Here's what...

The Scoop on POFQ

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 23:09:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - Why pay $50 or $100 more per night to stay at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter, versus a comparable hotel outside the park or even a cheaper on-site hotel? After staying at Port Orleans French Quarter, I now know the answer: Location, location,...

Printing photos has never been easier!

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 22:39:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I bought this printer primarily for photo printing and I'm quite satisfied. I love the convenience of printing photos at home that are almost as good as what I get from a photo store. And I can print 1 or 50... it's quick and easy with the included...

Marriott Buttes: A wonderful oasis just minutes from the airport

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 17:40:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - Unexpected happy surprises are always a delight of travel, and my stay at the Marriott Buttes was one such delight. I had an early-morning flight home, so I needed to stay close to the airport following my recent trip to Arizona. When I came across a...

Mon, 2 Jan 2006 18:17:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - Rather than list a lot of generic facts and statistics about this camera, I thought I would focus my review on my personal observations of this camera. To put this review in perspective, I consider myself to be a decent photographer, but mostly of...

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 22:46:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I can't say enough great things about this product! It's one of my favorite beauty finds. I am a lip balm addict -- can't go anywhere without it. I do like to have a little color on my lips, too, but most lipsticks dry my lips and I can't stand...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I also am disappointed with my B&D ProBlend 5000. In fact, this blender has been recalled because the blades break -- which seems to be a common problem, judging from other reviews. (see details at...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I saw a reference to mypublisher.com on the Internet and since I love to create photo albums, the opportunity to create a professional looking photo book was very intriguing. The site had a glowing review from the Wall Street Journal, so I decided to...

Great value

Fri, 14 May 2004 22:41:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - I stayed at the Best Western Plantation Hale during my recent visit to Hawaii. I would have no problem staying here again. I give it three stars because it is far from a "resort" hotel -- there are no on-site restaurants, fancy gardens or tiki-torch...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e927 - This is a nice hotel for vacationers, especially those who (like me) enjoy the beach but also really like pools.
