Initially, I enjoyed the wide base assembly as it was easy to work with. I also enjoyed the pushbuttons,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223691509380 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 04:34:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223691509380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223328505476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - After reading the prior reviews, perhaps I've just been lucky. I bought one of these specifically because I liked the way the little USB connector fit into the mouse. I figured it wouldn't snag things in transport as easily. Mouse cords just get on my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223328505476 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 12:46:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223328505476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223326867076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I've had this machine for over a year, possibly two. I'd had a Panasonic cordless for 10 years before and rather than just replacing the battery, I bought this one. Now, I don't know anything about all this gigaHertz mess and I live in a home so... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223326867076 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 12:16:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223326867076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223325621892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I purchased this laptop after having 6 Toshiba Satellites, all excellent. Several of my relatives work for Dell and talked me into looking and buying this one. As I suppose happens with others, by the time I did all the upgrades I wanted it was about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223325621892 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 11:52:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223325621892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223324376708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I bought the model 1220, which is the same basic printer as the 1300. It's a 1220 instead of a 1200 because I purchased the optional copy/scanner module that fits on top of the printer. I had, and still have, the 1100 model, which was the last... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223324376708 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 11:27:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223324376708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223321886340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I have purchased 5 of these printers over the last 3 years, starting with the 3400 series and now the 3900 series. These are all basically the same printer, with differences in case color. They all work exactly the same, and use the same supplies. I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223321886340 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 10:49:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223321886340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223183736452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I suppose I've been fortunate; I've had my urn for roughly four years without a problem. I bought it for get-togethers when it would be a hassle making multiple pots. I'm guessing anyone can figure how a large percolator works, so I'll just say the pot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223183736452 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 03:46:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223183736452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223181835908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - This is my third Bunn over the past 20 years. Nothing was wrong with my last one, which I gave to my sister. I'll admit that at times I would forget the warmer was on and would come back to that stinky, smelly gunk cooked in the bottom of the carafe... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223181835908 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 03:01:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223181835908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223180852868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I have an ironing press and use it when I'm doing tons of laundry. I iron everything but linens. I even iron my underwear because I travel and it stores in a smaller space. However, the Elnapress takes 10 minutes to warm up and another 10-15 to cool... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223180852868 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 02:38:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223180852868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223180131972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - This is the same mixer that has been sold as a Siemens and a Toastmaster, though all are made by Bosch. Rather than have a conventional mixing head that raises up and down, this little Bosch has a rotating protruding arm with 4 positions for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223180131972 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 02:21:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223180131972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223179214468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - The Electrolux Assistent is the same machine as the Magic Mill Assistent. This machine was first introduced in Sweden in the late 40's, so it definitely has a track record! Though the styling of the base has changed along with other internal... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223179214468 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 02:05:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223179214468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190927310468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - This mixer has been around for many, many years in more than one name. Though Bosch makes it, it has also been sold as a Siemens in Europe and a Toastmaster over here. Same machine, though, same accessories. As with the larger Universal model, this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190927310468 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 00:27:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190927310468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190925672068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - The Bosch line of Universal mixers has been around for decades, and it's a very different type of mixer than either Sunbeam or Kitchen Aid. Rather than having a motor hanging over the food as a mixing head, the motor is in the base. There are two power... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190925672068 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 00:10:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190925672068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169075904132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - There's no way that any of these accessory trays are going to hold all that sewers need, so the objective is to make the most-used supplies easily accessible. The brilliance of the design of this accessory is that it fits on the back of the machine when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169075904132 Mon, 10 Jan 2005 14:09:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169075904132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_145801645700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - Bamix was the original immersion blender nearly 50 years ago, and they're still making them in Switzerland, NOT China! I'd had a couple of Braun units and liked them, bought the Bamix out of curiosity, off their site on the web. Am I glad I did!

It is now March, 2004, and I have just purchased another Honda. I discovered that, even with my large yard with its hills, I truly enjoyed walking behind my little push mower!

Regardless, it's the identical radio. <br><br/> <br><br/>I live in an area on the Gulf Coast near Galveston where we have to keep an eye on tropical storms and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~77130206852 Wed, 2 Oct 2002 06:47:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_77130206852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_77129813636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I've owned a Model One for some time (see my review). I discovered Tivoli had developed a stereo version with optional subwoofer, so I ordered it. As with the Model One, this radio came beautifully packed with excellent instructions. <br><br/> <br><br/>The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~77129813636 Wed, 2 Oct 2002 06:21:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_77129813636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_77129092740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I bought my Model One off of Tivoli Audio's web site following a web search. <br><br/> <br><br/>I live just far enough from Houston with its several dozen radio stations to give an ordinary AM/FM stereo fits. This was my motivation in buying a mono radio... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~77129092740 Wed, 2 Oct 2002 06:02:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_77129092740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_70988566148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I received this model in 1999 as a gift. I knew and know not too much about air purifiers, but had been looking at getting one for my bedroom. I am a light-to-never cigarette smoker and I don't have any problems with asthma or allergies. However, I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~70988566148 Tue, 23 Jul 2002 23:58:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_70988566148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_69759110788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I have several vacuum cleaners. I love appliances of all types, and vacuuming is one of the few household chores I really enjoy. Like others reviewing, I bought my G4 used from a dealer after it had been reconditioned. From my understanding the G4, G5... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~69759110788 Fri, 12 Jul 2002 00:39:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_69759110788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_67730640516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I purchased this phone as an additional phone at our house. I already have the GE 900 Hertz model with caller ID and speakerphone, and have enjoyed it very much. It has been reliable and the speakerphone has worked flawlessly. <br><br/> <br><br/>Actually, the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~67730640516 Sun, 23 Jun 2002 06:01:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_67730640516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_65956056708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - In my continuing quest to do my floors with a bad back, I bought the Hoover Floor Mate (please see my review of the Eureka Enviro-Steamer). <br><br/> <br><br/>The Enviro-Steamer still gets regular use on my large area of vinyl flooring, covering 3 rooms in my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~65956056708 Tue, 4 Jun 2002 08:56:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_65956056708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_65954025092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - First of all, I love my Miele (see my review). When I vacuum this is the machine I use, and love. I had a 'commercial' Panasonic upright that I bought in the late 80's. However, my cleaning lady, who I swear was half gorilla, somehow managed to keep... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~65954025092 Tue, 4 Jun 2002 08:19:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_65954025092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_65581125252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author johnr55 - I have the corded model without beater brush, as I wanted this unit for hard floors only. <br><br/> <br><br/>PRO: <br><br/>1) relatively lightweight, even a child could operate <br><br/>2) inexpensive <br><br/>3) simple to operate; handle detaches easily to use as a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~65581125252 Thu, 30 May 2002 22:48:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_65581125252?linkin_id=8003929
