Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:57:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Tuesday nights are often slow cooker nights at our house. We have Scouts that night and by the time my wife and I get home from work we have just enough time to eat before leaving...if the meal is already completely done. Otherwise, the kids are eating...

Good Stereo Bluetooth at Excellent Price

Tue, 4 Aug 2009 12:17:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - When the iPhone 3.0 OS finally became available, I decided I had to get a stereo bluetooth headset. Yes, I am one of those few people who still has no way to plug his iPhone/iPod into the car to play music. No auxilliary port, no tape deck for an...

Excellent Shave Cream from Company Respected for Centuries

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:00:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I used to have a problem with shaving. I would blade shave, trying the latest blades from Gillete, and a top brand canned shave cream. That would last about 4-6 months before my neck would get irritated to a point I couldn't stand it. I would then switch...

Wonderful Scent Reminiscent of An Era Gone By

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:10:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Okay! I admit it! I am about to turn 40. I have noticed for some time now that my taste in men's colognes is definitely changing. I used to like those sents by Calvin Cline and Ralph Lauren. Names like Drakkar Noir used to intrigue me. However, just like...

Great for regular consumers - still needs work for enterprise

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:06:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - The 3G iPhone I purchased was a replacement for a Palm Treo 650, I had been using for over three years. I fell in love with the original iPhone, but the price was too prohibitive, considering it was an EDGE phone. My Palm already had EDGE. In fact, the...

Wonderful Range...AT A COST!

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 17:40:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - NOTE My review is actually for the JES9750BAS. The only difference is that it has a brushed stainless finish instead of black. Otherwise the features are exactly identical. Also, even though Epinions has this listed as a Maytag, it is actually a...

Excellent washer that is well worth the money

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 00:13:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Okay. This is review number 53 for this product, so I won't go into the horrid details of what this sucker can do. I will cover the basics. The WM2688H is one of two SteamWashers that LG makes. This one is probably what would be considered the...

Excellent value with a wealth of features

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - For quite some time, I had been wanting to upgrade from my Kodak digital camera that was pretty much point and shoot, to a camera that had much more manual control capabilities. For the longest time, I had my eye on the Kodak P880. I really wanted that 8...

Grease Bullet Tablets: Works...Sorta

Wed, 5 Jul 2006 11:17:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Okay, I have to admit it. Sometimes I just can't resist the temptation of those As Seen On TV products. When my wife and I visit Walgreens one of our favorite sections is the one devoted to these products. We saw the Grease Bullets there, and after a few...

Works but somewhat unimpressive

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I have a lot of VHS tapes of my children that I need to transfer to DVD before they dry rot.

Coffee brewing at its simplest and best

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 18:29:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I don't drink much coffee (mainly in the winter, and then maybe once or twice a week). However, my wife has the stuff running through her veins. She had been using the same coffee maker for 12 years. It was starting to show wear and tear. You could...

An Absolute Hoot to Use at an Affordable Price

Tue, 14 Jun 2005 14:43:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I admit it. I was one of THOSE people. You know the type. Loyal to a fault to a particular brand. My brand was Canon. I mean come on! Separate ink cartridges! Why hasn't everyone else adopted the concept!?!?!?! Never mind the fact that I have yet to own...

Excellent Grill for Price and Quality Conscious

Sat, 1 Jan 2005 17:53:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I had been using a little Charbroil two burner grill for 3 or 4 years. When I got it, it was already used. Finally, both the burners and the grill grate were shot. On top of that, it took a lot of strategy to place the meat in a place where it could cook...

The only proper description of the Phaser 6250 is WOW!!

Wed, 12 Nov 2003 16:26:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Back in May of 1999 the QMS Magicolor laser printer our company had been using went belly up. Other than the fact that it was going to cost a pretty penny to replace, this was no major heartbreak for us. It was slow, hard to maintain (The toner had to be...

A Solid Iron That Is Well Worth Every Penny Spent

Wed, 28 May 2003 11:19:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - For the longest time I was the one that did most of the ironing. My wife never understood why I would complain about the cheap hand me down irons my mother-inlaw would give us. Over the past couple of months, she started doing a lot of ironing each...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I set out looking to replace my deep frying pan. I have loved this pan but it was showing its age. I decided to go to the Williams Sonoma Outlet in town, hoping to find a great quality replacement at a somewhat reasonable price. I was hoping for All...

Another Fine Example of Kitchenaid Quality

Mon, 6 Jan 2003 17:17:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I grew up in a family that seemed to worship Oster brand products. My mother and grandmothers all had the "all-in-one" Oster Kitchen Center.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - My wife and 8yo daughter had been itching to see Master of Disguise since they first saw trailers. They just couldn't wait to see it. I, on the other hand, was not looking forward to the experience. This was especially true after reading some...

The Best Album by One of Gospel's Greatest

Fri, 26 Jul 2002 14:53:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I admit, I am biased. I have been a great fan of Amy since high school. Therefore I couldn't bear to give her a bad review. Fortunately with this album Amy proves that there is no need for me to give her one. Legacy is by far the best album in a...

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 11:55:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - For three years I had been using a Nokia 5160. While this phone was light on the features it did prove to be a very dependable workhorse.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - Let me start by saying that I am not going to go into all of the hidden messages and meaning contained in this movie.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jstrickland - I'll just start by saying that if every man could sing to his wife like this the divorce rate in this country would plummet.
