It was a fine vacuum for the time I owned it before someone broke it. I eventually replaced it with the DC17 Animal upright vacuum for slightly a bit more money. There is no question... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475479641732 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 02:10:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475479641732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_464417754756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - Today I am reviewing a Philips 32PFL5332D/37 HDTV, which is a 32" 720p LCD television. Not generally known for manufacturing high-end televisions and a brand name you typically see in giant chain stores like Kmart and Walmart that cater to the masses, I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464417754756 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:08:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464417754756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_463806828164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - Back in 2007 I reviewed the LG 50PC5D plasma HDTV and overall found it to be a decent 720p television.  As I mentioned in that review one advantage of plasma televisions was the perfect 180° viewing angles.  This was so important to me that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~463806828164 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:11:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_463806828164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461641911940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - I've had the Samsung ML-2010 for a few months now and I am very satisfied with it. It is a monochrome only printer. It's a pretty sparse package as you only get a driver disk, manual, power cable and the printer with starter toner. It doesn't come... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461641911940 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 07:27:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461641911940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461633195652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - I was tempted to buy a non-canon adapter since they tend to be less expensive and usually made of durable aluminum.  Fortunately, I found a used Canon adapter at a bargain price. I used the adapter with a Canon WC-DC52 wide-angle lens on a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461633195652 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 06:16:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461633195652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452465888900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - I previously had Time Warner Road Runner service but decided I needed a less expensive access to the internet.  Verizon DSL was pretty much my only option.  I signed up with them on February.  They had the usual promotion of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452465888900 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:14:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452465888900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_446685744772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - My first drawing tablet was a Calcomp Tablet I bought a few years ago.

Last month I bought an ATI TV Wonder 550 so I can watch TV and surf the web during commercials. That’s what you call multitasking.

Although a screen protector was originally on the LCD from the factory it proved to be insufficient and was easily marred with scratches, and within a few days the thing looked terrible.

The portability and convenience is second to none. And with the increasing presence of public Wi-Fi connections you are no longer limited to internet access at home.

I surf a lot and this solution is very efficient deskspace-wise and power-wise as opposed to running two monitors. A 22" widescreen monitor was the sweet spot at around $300... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~399907589764 Sat, 4 Aug 2007 01:56:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_399907589764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_373586366084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - I just bought a 50” Plasma HDTV and I wanted something to protect it from power surges. A $40 surge suppressor would not suffice. I wanted something more appropriate for my investment but not too extravagant.

I wouldn&#146t consider myself a pro or a novice. My standards are probably stricter than most people when it comes to expectations of how a TV... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~368885272196 Wed, 30 May 2007 02:36:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_368885272196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_355158691460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - I needed a wireless router with great range and coverage. There are a lot of Pre-n routers that are inexpensive and reportedly better performance than regular wireless-g routers, but they have a limited future in my mind. I wanted at least a Draft-n... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~355158691460 Sun, 29 Apr 2007 21:20:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_355158691460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_294277058180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - Over the years I've accumulated a dozen Nimh rechargeable batteries to power-up the plethora of electronics I have.

Although it may be a simple task, my forearm does tire-out after a while. Having a mechanized way to screw is nice.

The appearance alone didn't warrant the $30 price tag I thought to myself. It didn't even look any different from the original RumblePad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223309762180 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 02:24:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223309762180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216751378052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - This phone is clearly one good-looking unit. I really like the orange-red light. Nothing outside of Uniden looks any better.

I wanted a circumaural design so that the earpads wrapped around my ears and not rest on my ears. It was irritating when my ears would fatigue due to the pressure of the headphones on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192635309700 Wed, 10 Aug 2005 01:13:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192635309700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_192632753796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - When you see images of the Logitech RumblePad 2 online it appears lackluster and generic with its dull-blue color.

I already owned a TI-82 graphing calculator so I felt a little comfortable to go with Texas Instruments.

I'm a TV-addict and being away from the TV set isn't as bad, now that I can listen to it on the go. This unit is roughly 3.25" x 2.5" x 1" in dimension.

I'll mainly mention the quirks of the phone. First off, the package doesn't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137864187524 Sat, 24 Apr 2004 21:53:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137864187524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_72690929284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - If you're on a budget and want an awesome set of speakers then look no further than Logitech's Z-340. For $50 it's all yours. I tested this baby along with other speakers in the same price range and this was by far the loudest and outstanging of them... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~72690929284 Fri, 9 Aug 2002 17:30:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_72690929284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_72688438916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author erwin1978 - When shopping for a soundcard, I primarily look for support for the latest sound APIs( EAX, directsound, etc.) and how many hardware voice acceleration the card is capable of.
