Sat, 10 Jun 2000 23:30:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - Being a technical person I don't get too frustrated when hardware or software installation is a little complex, but I must say that I really do appreciate it when a manufacturer does everything right. I recently got the XIRCOM RealPort CardBus Ethernet...

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - After my not-so-successful attempt at using an electric toothbrush a couple years ago I decided to give the Sonicare sonic toothbrush a try. Actually one of the reasons I decided to give it a try was the abundance of glowing reviews I read on epinions...

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 18:44:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - Kick Me, Kick Me, Kick Me!!! Why oh why do I purchase things without first checking the reviews on epinions? You think I would learn. I ran into the exact same problem that other reviewers of this phone had: horrible background noise/static...

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 00:41:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - This is BIG! It’s not just that you can listen to your email, or that you can have anybody leave you a message at your toll-free number, or even that you can view your faxes with a web browser…it’s the fact that uReach.com gives you all of this and a...

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 22:42:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I was excited to find this phone that I thought would meet almost all my needs in a phone. I fully expected to be giving this phone a “5 star - thumbs up” rating, but instead I’m going to be taking it back to the store and giving it a “2 star - thumbs...

Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:11:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I purchased this electric toothbrush with the hope of making the dental hygienist stop bugging me about brushing too aggressively. I’m a classic “brush till it hurts” kind of person and I thought that by having a battery do the work for me I’d save my...

Cascade Designs: Therm-A-Rest - Rest assured that it's the best

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 21:14:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I’ve used a number of different pads under my sleeping bag and nothing compares with the Therm-a-rest pad. This is the closest thing you can get to a real mattress that’s packable.

I’ve had a Therm-A-Rest for a number of years and so have...

Thu, 2 Dec 1999 12:32:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - The elliptical trainer is one of my favorite cardio machines to use at the gym. I’d love to get one of these for home, but it’s quite large and very expensive so for now I’ll keep using these at the gym and my NordicTrack Ski machine at home. I’ve...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I’ve had the NordicTrack Pro for quite a few years and I still use it when I can’t get to the gym. It gives one of the best cardio workouts with very little stress on your joints. It’s not for everyone (as witnessed by the large number of them for sale...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - After having 3 cordless phones go bad on me (43-49Mhz analog variety) I decided to try out the Sony SPP-ID910 900Mhz with caller ID. I’ve been very happy with the phone and it’s performance, but I think you can get even better phones now with more...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I’d like to say I got @Home cable internet service so I could access epinions.com faster day and night, but I really got it for my home business. There are a lot of good things to say about my experience with @Home so far and also a few bad things, but...

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 22:30:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I wanted an outdoor grill for the patio of my townhouse and due to fire regulations I was not allowed to have a gas grill, only electric. The Char Broil Electric Patio Caddie fit the bill perfectly. Although it’s not the same as a good gas grill or...

Should a person be this excited about a UPS?

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 00:25:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - It’s amazing what can happen when good design is applied to a product that doesn’t really need to be improved. I’ve used various UPS’ before and they’ve all performed as expected, but I’ve only expected them to protect me from the infrequent power spike...

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 17:43:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I’ve read and heard good things about HP’s Deskjet series so I narrowed my choices the Deskjet 882, 895, and 970. I decided to go with the 970Cxi and here’s why.

I’ve read good reviews on the 882 and it was fairly inexpensive, but I wanted a...

Sat, 6 Nov 1999 18:49:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - I should have saved my money. I had two options for speakers for my new Dell Computer system and I decided to spend the extra bucks for the Dolby Digital Altec Lansing ADA880 speaker system.

It’s not that this set of speakers is bad or...

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 01:13:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - Since I switched from Netscape Communicator to IE5 I also decided to give Outlook Express 5 a try. I am pretty happy with it so far, but it does have some problems.

I use it both on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 and have had similar...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - Like many others I have been a loyal Netscape supporter, but I finally caved in and started using Internet Explorer 5. I purchased a new PC which came with Internet Explorer 5 preinstalled so I figured I would give it a try along with Outlook Express,...

Classic Cranberries

Thu, 28 Oct 1999 15:07:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - "Bury the Hatchet" is classic Cranberries. I don't think they really break any new ground in this album, but I do like it. I would say it's a little more mellow than their third album "To the Faithful Departed" and is more like...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - Although I've never had the opportunity to go skiing at Vail, I did get the chance to spend a day mountain biking down the slopes. I can't compare the quality of the terrain with other mountain biking areas because this was the first time I'd ever done...

Salton Foreman: George Foreman Grill - A Knockout

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 12:21:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eGnome - With high protein diets all the rage now, the George Foreman grill is a very useful kitchen appliance. It's definitely not the same as an outdoor grill with those wonderfully carcinogenic flames, but it sure beats standing outside in the rain or snow...
