Really nice hood

Sun, 17 May 2009 08:49:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - Just put this in over a Viking stainless cooktop. Installation was easy, it's light, nice stainless, has good lighting, and pulls air well on setting 2/4, which is quiet. The depth is good, as it covers the whole cooktop&nb

Nice, compact, does everything.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - We replaced our old cuisinart toaster with this convection model Cuisinart toaster. We looked all over for a white toaster oven that was compact and could toast, bake, broil, etc, and this was the only one we liked. The only thing wrong with the old...

Worked... for a while

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 09:19:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - My scale looked slightly different than the picture, but basically the same features. After about 6 months, it no longer works and can't even measure weight. When working, the fat calculation (based on height, waist, neck size and gender) was very...

Review from a Materials Engineer

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 15:01:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - Materials 101: I'm a Materials Engineer, and the idea of putting a layer of silicon (i.e. glass) in the blade does not sound too appealing. As we all know, glass is brittle and it fails with a shatter. Granted, it may be constructed around a miniscule...

great, light blade, durable

Sun, 7 May 2006 21:28:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - someone gave me a righty Modano blade 2 years ago and it is just now starting to delaminate. It's been well worth the price (free!) and I'm going to get another one. I guess they don't make the Modano pattern anymore, it's been replaced by the Forsberg...

Surprisingly good

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 23:09:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - Update: Wore these on the plane across country and they worked wonderfully. They're light, block noise, and I could sleep just fine. Careful with incorrectly grounded audio sources as the static charge may build up and shock you through the right...

Bose 025675 Bose. QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling. headset: Quietcomfort is right

Wed, 8 Feb 2006 15:07:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - I've used the QC-1 for about 2 years now for everything from working on the computer at home, to sleeping on airplanes, to mowing the lawn, to listening to the play-by-play at the hockey rink. It's great at cancelling out the droning/repetitive sounds,...

A thing of the past

Wed, 8 Feb 2006 09:20:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - We were looking for some tunes in the kitchen, and unfortunately no one has come out with an Ipod version or MP3-playing kitchen unit, or even a multi-CD player. We did see a few DVD players with LCD screens but we have a TV close to the kitchen and we...

Portable? not really

Sun, 5 Feb 2006 10:46:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - We bought this for our bedroom for the occasional hot and humid night. The first unit arrived with a cracked front panel, so a new one was sent by air-n-water.com. The digital temperature readout is nice and fairly accurate. It reads within a few...

Frees up a PCI slot on your computer

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 12:07:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - This review is on the newer version of the adaptor, the GPIB-USB-B. The GPIB-USB and GPIB-USB-A are not being offered any longer, having been replaced by the GPIB-USB-B and GPIB-USB-HS. The National Instruments site says that the GPIB-USB-B is for...

Just a humidifier

Thu, 26 Jan 2006 11:43:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - Supposedly this humidifier will humidify a 3200 square foot area. I have a room about 900 square feet which is quite drafty, so I thought this would handle it. Filling takes about 3 refills with the portable tank in order to fill the bottom...

152 pages every racket stringer should read

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 17:02:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - This is a really interesting book that I'm glad the authors came up with. There's a lot of technical background, simplified explanations, and even some group surveys or blind racket/string testing. The basic chapters are: Racquets: Racquet properties,...

Lost sleep at this Hyatt

Fri, 20 Jan 2006 08:23:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - Our family of 4 was put up in this Hyatt for a family trip out to Scottsdale, for 4 days in April. By about the second night we couldn't take it anymore, we were so tired it was hard to enjoy all the nice amenities by daylight. I'll start with the...

Great flexible stick

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 09:48:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - I play adult league hockey once or twice a week and don't have a real heavy shot. I used to go through 5-6 wooden sticks per season and had to carry a backup with me to every game. I still bring a wood backup to games but I've never need it. For pick-up...

EX-L, RES/NAV good car, can only get better

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 09:33:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - We were pretty much decided on an Odyssey for our family of four. We were looking for a good travel car with a navigation system and kid-friendly. It was a toss-up between the EX-L and the Touring model. Price really wasn't an issue, it was more a...

Good...for the price

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:32:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - I've had this lawn tractor for close to 3 years now. I use it to mow an acre during the warm months, and to snowplow the driveway in the snowy months. Engine/Starting: For the first 1.5 years, it was hard to start the engine. I'd have to use...

Great intermediate+ string

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 16:43:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - This is a great multifilament string that is used widely by professional and college-level players. Ashaway is probably the next most popular string brand, however Ashaway's Supernick strings are a little too 'bouncy' for me, like the racquet is much...

Low Cost, not trouble-free

Tue, 18 Oct 2005 22:43:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jbs24 - We bought this computer for its multi-media capabilities. For the price, what you get is amazing. The first time using it, we noticed that one of the three fans in the unit is really loud. It starts off low, then gradually ramps up to max speed where...
