rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I bought this shoe from a local shoe warehouse type place, it was on clearance after the season was over, and was a heck of a deal off of retail price and had all of the features I was looking for: 2 year warranty, full leather, said "duracomfort" right...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - My wife and I bought a Dyson DC07 Animal vacuum after getting frustrated that our old vacuums (a Kirby and a cheap Regina) would not even pick up little pieces of lint and crumbs from our carpet. In case you have read one of my older reviews on a Filter...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I bought this card about 7 months ago, it was just as the Geforce 4ti cards were coming out. I had done some research and initially I bought an ATI Radeon 8500, and after about a week of use, I was not happy with it's performance, so I took it back to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - Recently I leased a new Jetta, as my Ford Focus lease is up in a couple more weeks. I was considering the Honda Civic EX and the Mazda Protege' 5, as these were both in the same price range as my Focus. I decided to look at the VW Golf, too, so the VW...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - My Girlfriend bought this keyboard after her OEM typer met up with Mr. Starbucks. We went to the local electronics store (the one with the Blue and Yellow decor) and looked at the available options. Many of the boards were pretty expensive ($40 and up)...

Keep the other remotes around, just in case...

Mon, 20 May 2002 17:27:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I bought this remote after farting around too long with 5 different remotes. My TV, VCR, SAT, Tuner, and DVD are all different brands, and day-to-day I used 3 of them regularly. I picked the RCA remote because of the backlighting, the on-screen...

Thu, 16 May 2002 13:47:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - Last season, I was trying to find a way to improve my game, I had read in one of the golf magazines that for a mid handicap player 10-20 try using a 7-wood instead of a 3-iron. I gave this some thought and decided to give it a try.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - In my search for a new wireless plan, I decided to go with Qwest wireless and the Kyocera 2135. I had Voicestream and a Nokia 2190, 5190, and 6190. Detect a pattern? The Nokia phones are great looking and have some nice features, but they don't hold...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - When Everquest came out my roommate played the game and I wondered why would someone play that? It was a fuzzy looking, slow moving game where geeky people just chatted. Well, this past christmas, my roommate bought the game for me and I asked him why...

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 02:06:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I have some experience with this camera on my PC at work. Installing it was a piece of cake. I installed the software first, running the install CD that came with the kit. It loaded the software without a hitch, and installed realplayer at the same...

Consumer level stuff isn't this clean!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - This Pioneer amp is a rock solid performer for any application other than professional contests where mega-power is needed. I bought this amp when I worked at Best Buy to run one 10" Cerwin-Vega Vega104 sub. The sub is rated at 300 watts RMS and...

CashWars: BEWARE: CashWars is addicting

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 23:05:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - A friend referred me to CashWars and I have only played for two days, but I am finding myself waiting for the next day when my fuel cells recharge and I can plunder and pillage once again. I like that it is fairly simple graphically, so even on a slow...

No Category for my drive...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I purchased the Acer 8432 CD-RW about 3 months ago and since I purchased the drive, things have gotten better. Let me explain. When I first bought the drive, I had some generic CD-R media that I was trying to use. I'd do a burn on the CD-RW that was...

Give the game programmers a raise!

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 21:07:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I usually don't buy software, but in this case I played the demo and I had to have it! The gameplay is so smooth with this game, it puts all other games to shame, including last year's NHL2000. They improved the faces on the players, have a good...

All Advantage: All Advantage hits the skids

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 20:17:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - AllAdvantage.com is like a child rock star that has outlived its popularity. It started off as a little known way to make some extra cash to surf, something I would do for free anyway. Then the referral program and some publicity gave a boost to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I bought this pitcher a year ago and have used it to get great-tasting water ever since. It was inexpensive, I think about $15 at Wal-Mart. The contour model fits on the refrigerator door, taking up little space in the 'fridge. I like the filter...

Solid Van

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 01:51:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I added this van to my Love It list because compared to the other vans on the market it is far superior. The construction of the van is designed with durability in mind. As with other Ford vehicles, there is a high degree of emphasis placed on fit and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - I moved into a new place and my phone service included caller ID, and I didn't have a ID box, so I figured I might as well pick up the whole shootin' match and I bought this phone. I paid $79.99 and there was a $20 rebate, making it pretty reasonable...

Good Low-Cost Upgrade

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - My HP Deskjet 820C which is about 4 years old just kicked the bucket, so it was time to get a new one. I am a firm believer in HP products, so there was no choice for me. My only dilemma was how much to spend. I have a friend that is a sales rep for...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - When I bought my Technics receiver, I picked it up because my roommate bought a DVD player and we needed more than the 70 watt receiver I had previously. I bought it at Best Buy, and out of all the receivers, it was the cheapest receiver with Dolby...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gruijj - As a sales consultant at a large Ford dealership, it's hard picking out a vehicle that I would want to purchase. (well lease, actually) When the Focus arrived in early September '99, it took only one test drive to decide to trade in my '99 Ford Ranger...
