Not so green as they want you to think.

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 11:27:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - Last year, the PTA at my sister's kids' school decided to be all environmentally correct in their fundraiser - the fundraiser where the parents have to guilt their friends and neighbors into buying stuff no one really wants. To be supportive, I bought...

Ultra Joy Dishwashing Liquid: Dreadful - scent LINGERS

Sun, 18 Jan 2004 20:41:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - Who'd of thought it? They've made a dish detergent that has some kind of lingering scent - so your dishes, yes, your dishes retain an aroma of dish detergent...

Awesome luxury

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 21:14:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - This was the hotel stay of my dreams. A pair of plane tickets burning a hole in our pockets, plus a need to get away before the holidays descended, led to a trip to Palm Beach at the beginning of December. A fortuitous connection got us a good rate at...

Location with Luxury.

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 20:46:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - For Thanksgiving weekend, my husband and I joined some members of his family for an indulgent weekend at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia - with no cooking!

We drove to the hotel - upon arrival via car at the front door, the door staff...

Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1200 Laser Printer: A good personal workhorse.

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 22:26:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I got this printer in my office a couple of months ago. I'm the only one who uses it, so I got the cheapest Laser Jet I could find - this was it. I didn't want an ink-jet, and I didn't need anything more heavy-duty.

It is great. It prints...

Great service for the smaller company

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 22:12:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I run a medium sized organization, with a varying sized weekly payroll - anywhere from 25 to 80 people each week. When I started, we were using ADP for payroll - a disaster. Besides all the mistakes they continually made, the reports they provided were...

The disappearing dishwasher.

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 18:25:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - We bought this dishwasher as part of kitchen rehab. It replaced the worst, noisiest, ugliest old KitchenAid. This Miele model is a vanishing built-in - not only does it require a cabinet panel installed on the front (so it matches), but the controls...

Good & Easy to Use

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 23:51:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I bought this CD player about a month ago - I was traveling and "needed" to take music with me. I bought it in a hurry, because I tried to get something from Amazon, and it didn't arrive in time, so I went the Wiz and bought this off the shelf...

Good Worker that Disappears, but

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 21:16:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - We got this fridge as part of a kitchen renovation - although I guess everyone does. The old fridge worked fine, but it was inside a cabinet and its depth meant that the room behind it had a jog in the wall to accommodate the fridge. To make a more...

Asko Dryers : Clever Clean

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 23:03:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - In late 1997, we got the Akso Washer 20605 and the Asko Dryer 7705. They have been fabulous.

Washer:

The capacity of the washer appears small, but it can hold a whole set of queen size sheets plus some other stuff. They suggest...

Fish in Jelly is It!

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 21:12:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - We have two Siamese cats, one of whom is on a restricted diet as a result of a reduction in his kidney function. Prior to his diagnosis, we fed them pretty much anything - whatever was on sale, whatever jumped off the shelf into the cart for some...

Cats Like It. So Do I.

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 20:52:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I've been buying Everclean since it came out. I have two cats and find that it works just fine. We scoop the box every couple of days - it's a good balance between doing it every day (yuck) and doing it less frequently (bigger yuck). The odor is...

Simple & Effective

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:34:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I had soft contact lenses since the dark ages... (ha, ha). Actually, it's been about 25 years. When I started, it was make-your-own saline (salt tablets in distilled water) and steaming the lenses in their case every night. For years I went to sleep...

Fine Food at Fab Prices

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 19:47:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I'd heard about this restaurant over and over, but the first time I actually went was one day while on jury duty. If you've ever been on jury duty in New York, you know that they give you 1-1/2 to 2 hours for lunch - too long for lunch, but too short to...

I love this place!

Wed, 24 May 2000 22:40:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I've been going to City Bakery for years. And 4 years ago, I had the good fortune to get a job about 2 1/2 blocks away - so now I can stop in for breakfast or lunch several times a week. I think this is a good thing, I'm not sure how my waistline feels...

Brush up on your technique!

Fri, 19 May 2000 12:50:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - This is a really useful cooking publication. Unlike Gourmet, it has no filler stuff on travel or hotels. It doesn't assume that you know how to do everything, or how to use everything.

Instead, most articles are about a technique, or a type...

Humminbird Piranha Max 20 Fishfinder: The Rolls Royce of Mixers

Fri, 19 May 2000 12:35:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I made my own wedding cake when I got married. I knew that to do it, I'd need a full-size mixer, so I asked my now mother-in-law if I could borrow hers. Instead, she bought us the 5 quart KitchenAid as a gift.

The mixer is a dream. It is...

Good Brush

Fri, 19 May 2000 12:22:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I received this toothbrush as a gift. My dentist had been warning me that my gums were in mediocre shape, with a tendency towards gum disease and a possible need for periodontic work. Within about two weeks of starting to use the electric brush...

Fun, Low-Key Game

Tue, 16 May 2000 23:51:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I get bored in the car. Not when driving...

I thought I'd get myself one of those hand-held computer games like a GameBoy - but they only have dumb shoot-em-up kind of games. I actually asked in a store if there were any "thinky"...

Stylin' and User Friendly

Tue, 16 May 2000 23:37:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I had to be talked into getting a cell phone at all, but now that I have it, I think it's great.

The Nokia has great style, of course, but it's also got good battery life and easy-to-use features. I can frequently get a week out of the...

Underwhelming

Thu, 11 May 2000 00:07:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I went to Smith & Wollensky for the first time recently with my husband and his entire family (well, almost). We had a table of ten people. First off, the restaurant was very noisy - it was hard to carry on a conversation except with the person...

Great Car

Tue, 9 May 2000 09:36:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - A few years ago, it became necessary to get a new car. The FORD FIESTA I'd had since college was fabulous - went like stink and looked like nothing - but was becoming unreliable (it stopped on the highway one day after going through a puddle). So we...

Efficient and Cost-Effective

Tue, 9 May 2000 09:21:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I've been insured through USAA forever. Luckily (knock on wood), I've never had to file a claim. But I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The company is efficient in its mailings and materials. The price is great (every so often I get quotes from...

Gourmet Funky

Mon, 8 May 2000 22:04:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author magcc - I had dinner here last week with my husband and two foodie friends from out of town. Our first choice for the evening was Jean Georges, but time constraints - their plane was late - led us to Savoy.

We had a fabulous dinner, upstairs in the...
