Dell has taken a turn for the worse

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 22:23:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - I have bought many dells in my life, felt you "couldn't go wrong buying a dell", until I bought the Vostro 200 and 400. The quality has really declined. I can't believe the cheapness of the case. The plastic is thin and flimsy, not to mention poorly...

The battle between Sienna and Odyssey! Who will win?

Wed, 7 Mar 2007 09:53:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE: After a year of driving the Odyssey, I can say that I wish I had NOT bought the Odyssey. Honda has flat out LIED about the gas mileage. It is not even close to the 27MPG that they stated. We are lucky if we get 15 to 20MPG even on the highway. Do...

This vacuum really is HORRIBLE!

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 21:04:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - Hello, I just got the Bissell 3750 and I can say that there is something VERY fishy going on with the reviews of this product. It truly is a HORRIBLE product in design and function. It is a total gimmick. I think someone is writting false reviews to...

Handles like running shoe, but stability of Trail shoe!

Wed, 8 Feb 2006 21:54:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - I bought my first pair of Nike Trigo shoes back in 2002. I knew as soon as my feet slid into them that they were a great fit, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of functionality. The are great for just about any outdoor use... walking on all...

Nice phone, but may have issues with volume control.

Sun, 2 Jan 2005 00:23:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATED 01/08/05: Nice phone, but we noticed that when using the headset over time, the volume in the headset is not very good. We realized we were constantly struggling to hear the other person talk. We tried 3 different headsets, and came to the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - INTRO

=====

I have used Remington, Braun and Norelco shavers for a total of 10 years. My Braun and Remington shavers didn't last more than a year or two each- and didn't provide close shaves. But the Norelco 5825 I bought lasted 5 years. I...

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 00:55:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - If you have a family of young kids (3 and up), you MUST take them to Sanibel Island, Florida. It is a wonderful tropical island off the west coast of Florida that has spectacular creations of God that the whole family can enjoy. The plant and animal life...

Nice phone.... except for the very poor quality.

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 18:52:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE -April 2001. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE. It started off great, but like our other ATT&T phone, it has failed after only a few months use. It started making weird echo sounds that just about break your eardrum....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE: June 2002. I have ridden this bike alot now that the summer is here, and it is GREAT! Smooth shifting, stable, lite weight, all make for a fast bike and a joy to ride. The only downer is that the adjustale handlebar stem creaks sometimes, and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATED DEC 2004: I have banked with Chevy Chase Bank since 1993. Overall it has been a good experience. They have lot's of branch locations spread all over Maryland, Virginia, and DC. In addition they have an ATM in most every Safeway and/or Giant...

Go with umbrellabank.com instead!

Sat, 22 Sep 2001 09:26:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - DATE 9/23/01: Netbank.com is doing a lot of advertising lately, but don't be fooled into thinking they offer the best features and rates. Look at their interest checking. It only has about a 3% interest rate, and the following features:

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE April 2002: After driving the Accord for aout 8 months, I am really impressed with the silky smooth ride and the braking. BUT there are couple of things that I don't like: 1) the gas and brake peddle seem badly positioned. I have been able to step...

Alright for a beginner, but get extended warranty!

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 08:27:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - The Proform 725ex treadmill illustrates why the low end treadmill market offers so little value. If you have read any of my other treadmill reviews, then you already know that one company (ICON Fitness) makes most of the low end treadmills (Proform,...

Look Mom, no headaches!!!

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 21:20:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - I used to get horrible headaches reading from monitors that had "curved" screens. The "true flat" KDS AV196TF monitor has reduced the eye strain and headaches that I get from working on the computer.

I debated a long time if the extra cost of...

Oracle Internet Application Server: Oracle 9i AS: Don't fall for the Oracle Hype!

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 00:08:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE 9/22/01: I must be a prophet! 9iAS was sooo terrible (as I said below) that is did not make it past one version release before oracle BOUGHT www.orionserver.com and made it the center piece of it's java application server, thus SCRAPPING it's J2EE...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE Jan 2005: We now have 100,000 miles on our 1997 Nissan Quest, and it has performed flawlessly. No major problems what-so-ever.

Provides an ultra stable run, but short of "value"!

Mon, 5 Feb 2001 11:58:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - I ran on a wide variety of low end treadmills ($500 to $1300) at Sears (wide selection). In the end, I bought the Nordic Track EXP 2000, but the EXP3000 is very similar -and I did run quite a bit on the EXP1000,2000,3000.

Latest digital technology, but bulky and badly designed keys

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 21:05:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - The Excursion 36240 uses the latest 2.4 Giga-Hertz digital technology for clarity and privacy. It also allows allows hands free communication with the use of an optional headset. It cost me about $59.

THE GOOD:

Uses digital technology, but falls flat on performance!

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 20:54:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - The Toshiba SX2000 doesn't cut the mustard. It supposedly uses the latest digital technology for clarity and privacy. BUT after using for a few days, we have had to endure periodic bouts of static bursts while talking, as well as conversations...

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 10:17:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kkwiatek - UPDATE 23 April 2003: Well, after 6 years of heavy shaving, the beard trimmer broke. Shaves fine still, but trimmer froze up. Bought a new quadra action 6826xl on ebay for $65.
