I&#146ve had this for about 4 months now, so I figured I&#146d put some thoughts down to share. It's a long review, but since it's the first... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404023905924 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:35:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404023905924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_347402178180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I've had this TV for about a year now and so this review is written with a little perspective. I originally bought the TV with all the money I got from selling my stuff on auction and local selling websites. I earned about $700, so I was looking for TV... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~347402178180 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 23:46:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_347402178180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_343971368580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - After placing the order for my new flat 50" flat panel TV, I knew that the job wasn't done yet. I began scouring the stores for a reasonably priced flat panel mount that would allow me to put my TV up on the wall and display it in all it's glory.

I received this unit as a Christmas gift, which was a much more generous gift than I expected to receive. I almost... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~343618719364 Wed, 4 Apr 2007 22:23:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_343618719364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_341563641476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I did not buy this dishwasher, it came with the house we bought. With that caveat out of the way, here’s my review of it: It is a good basic dishwasher, but I am guessing it was not a high end or costly model. For a basic dishwasher, it does that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~341563641476 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 14:55:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_341563641476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_341562789508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - So I got a PSP from my wife, and she did a pretty good job blindly picking out a couple of games – Madden 2007 and one of the Grand Theft Auto series. It’s been a while since I played a lot of video games, but with all the traveling my job has been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~341562789508 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 14:41:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_341562789508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340805193348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - My office replaced an older, much bulkier projector with this one for taking on the road for presentations. I was happy, but skeptical – thinking that perhaps the brightness or ease of use would be impacted. I’m happy to say that neither of these... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340805193348 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 01:33:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340805193348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340804931204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - For a cheap bike helmet, this puppy definitely works. I don’t actually have this helmet anymore, since a friend borrowed it and crashed his mountain bike, landing on his head on a boulder, and cracking the helmet in half. But since he’s fine (after... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340804931204 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 01:30:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340804931204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339627445892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - If you read my review of the TaylorMade RAC OS irons, you know that my golf clubs were stolen at one point, so I needed to replace my whole setup. I got the clubs first, then decided I would consider a TaylorMade bag to complete the collection.

I opted for the TaylorMade RAC OS irons because of two reasons: Taylormade had a reputation for good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339627183748 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:44:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339627183748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339626987140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - In my healthy eating phase, I bought this juicer, after reading many reviews of all the juicers in my price range. Overall it is a good unit – although there are things I wish it did better. First off, this is not a professional quality juicer, nor... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339626987140 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:41:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339626987140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339626593924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I put this iron on my wedding registry, figuring an upgrade from an old Sunbeam would be nice. Let me tell you, it actually makes me a more efficient ironer. The first thing I noticed about this professional series Rowenta was the polished stainless... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339626593924 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:34:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339626593924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339625610884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I like to cook, but one of my biggest problems is having tough sinewy meat. My solution – cook in a slow cooker. This appliance was on sale at a major retailer, so I picked it up. Since Rival is THE slow cooker company, I figured I couldn’t go wrong –... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339625610884 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:32:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339625610884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339624889988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I researched coffee makers for several weeks before taking the plunge and buying one. I drink drip coffee, espresso, and coffee from a French press, but use a coffee maker to make the majority of the coffee I drink, so I wanted a good machine that didn’... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339624889988 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:26:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339624889988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336831549060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I have used this burr grinder for about two years now. I make coffee from a coffee press, regular drip coffee and Espresso, so I needed a grinder that could grind beans equally well for all three modes of brewing.

However, with that said, hopefully this review will still be useful since the ship had just come from "dry dock" and was completely refurbished.

Other cat owners also seemed to say that their cats drank more - which... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336828862084 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 01:18:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336828862084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336812150404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - With the smaller and smaller mp3 players out there, I feel like my iPod “mini” is actually gargantuan. But with that one feature out of the way, here’s my review of the mini, from the time I got it until today (which has been about 3 years).

I got them for my basement so when I can't make it to the gym I can still work out at home. They are very easy to use - just turn the dial on each... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~334556532356 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 13:25:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_334556532356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_334538182276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I bought this bike for my basement - along with the Bowflex Nautilus 552 adjustable dumbbells to have a nice little workout area for when I can't make it to the gym.

It may go without saying therefore that I like these shoes a lot. I'm a fairly neutral runner with a normal pronation. I'm about 155lbs, so I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~334536937092 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:50:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_334536937092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_334534905476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - This is an excellent entry-level racquetball racquet. I replaced an old Ektelon racquet with this Head model based mostly on the reputation of Head racquets and the price. I didn't play too much racquetball when I got it, so I didn't want to break the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~334534905476 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:27:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_334534905476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_333214682756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattmeitzner - I’ve had Cingular for nearly two years now, in the Philadelphia area.

From the reviews I’d read online, it sounded like the center channel is the most important speaker for watching TV, which is what I do most from my system.
