This Giant Grill Pan is an Excellent Choice

Tue, 9 Jan 2007 22:39:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - We really enjoyed using Calphalon pans for a while, due to their sturdy weight, solid construction, and even heating... but my wife wants something that can be run through the dishwasher, so anodized aluminum is out of the question. We decided to try...

Flawed from the day I got it

Fri, 5 Jan 2007 10:30:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - We received this as a gift about 18 months ago. We loved the look and feel of it, and the speed-control dial. (By the way, those with arthritis or other hand-strength problems will NOT appreciate the force required to push the tilt-release button)...

Among the best choices for features/performance/longevity

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Why I Chose This Motherboard On my limited budget, I was looking for a motherboard that would last me a good long time, with TV-Out support and all the lastest IO connections (5.1, 1394, USB2). Finally I need a decent onboard video solution unt...

Detto Technologies IntelliMover: Great time-saver utility, use with care!

Sat, 24 May 2003 12:35:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - I was buying a laptop for a customer and part of the deal was to transfer his files from the old WIn95 machine.

Because the old box has no USB and no NIC, we couldn't set up a quick & dirty network.

So I got this product bundled...

Best Deal For Home Woodworker

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 11:28:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Note: this model appears to be identical to the MS250, with the exception that the MS250 has the more desirable horizontal D-handle with trigger for moving the saw arm.

I cannot even begin to express my amazement about this tool.

An Excellent Value

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 17:54:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Judging from other reviewers here and elsewhere, it seems that you're at risk of having to buy a replacement pad at some point in the future.

That said, I am very very happy with this tool.

The dust collection system works very well...

Great combo drive on a budget

Wed, 17 Oct 2001 14:14:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - After installing Windows XP, I soon discovered my older external SCSI CD-RW drive is no longer compatable.

Having purchased a separate DVD/CD drive, I also was aware that I was consuming more power and using more devices than was necessary...

Additional info on this great television

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 12:21:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Because many other favorable reviews exist, I'll try to be brief and focus on some different areas.

First of all, the quality and utility of the 16:9 compression feature is debatable - you really have to look at it for yourself and decide if...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - It is fair and accurate to say that God loves us deeply and has deep generosity with us... he has a plan that includes all of humanity and, knowing all our needs and desires before the foundation of the earth, he is certainly able to acommodate our...

Great vacuum - search for deals!

Wed, 24 May 2000 15:12:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - We were looking to replace our heavily worn older upright vacuum with a newer model with more suction power and hopefully one that is not quite as heavy.

We steered clear of the self-propelled models because of concerns we noted here at...

Tue, 9 May 2000 16:16:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Replaced my old ISA card with this card on my Windows 2000 box, and it worked like a charm as soon as I booted the machine. The external LEDs leave no mystery as to whether the link is good, traffic is exchanged, and whether the 100mbps speed level has...

Iomega Zip USB Drive: Great simple porable drive

Tue, 9 May 2000 16:02:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - For just over $100, this drive is a gem in portable storage terms.

It is exceedingly small, barely taller or wider than the roughly 4" square platter, and not much longer either. Weighing in at seemingly just a few ounces it is barely...

Great general-purpose camera

Mon, 8 May 2000 17:19:29 GMT

After using this camera for over four years now, I still cannot be...

Great camera, good price

Mon, 8 May 2000 17:04:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - I bought this camera as a Christmas gift for my wife.

Our previous camera was a good Sony viewfinder-type which we seldom used, because we found the viewfinder took us away from the action we were filming. Also the camera in front of our...

Top notch OS, especially for portables

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 13:51:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author idconsult - Windows 98 has a lot of pluses: a rich user interface, a wealth of included tools, tons of free software, shareware, and thousands of software titles. However it is also prone to hangs, crashes and corruption.

Windows NT is infinitely more...
