Cooks All Sort of Things Nicely, Clever Examples Provided, But Beware If It Breaks

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 17:37:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - I love my foreman grill because it cooks quickly and evenly throughout its large durable non-stick surface. I never worry about sticking and appreciate that excess fat is drained away. Definitely get a large sized model - even when cooking for one -...

A Unique, Versatile Tool for Specific Tasks

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 16:45:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - The Navigator is kind of like a cross between a jig saw and a reciprocating saw. In fact, you can get accessory blades and rotate their mount so you can use the unit like either of those tools. But it isn't a perfect combination of a jig saw and a...

TeleType GPS Software: Underwhelming but workable solution.

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 16:36:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - I live in Canada and use a Delorme Tripmate GPS receiver so Teletype was my ONLY option for a Pocket PC mapping tool when I bought it in March 2002. None of the other options had both Canadian street maps and support for the semi-proprietary format of...

No more smashed fingers!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - With a power nailer, you can get a job done faster and with more precision. With a hammer, I find a lot of the energy goes in to moving the wood instead of pushing the nail into it. With a hammer, it is a struggle to do toe nailing and drive nails from...

Shaves Close & Fast with Style

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:10:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - For years I used a Philips/Philishave two head rotary shaver (same as Norelco in U.S.). I have sensitive skin on my neck and found it would always get irritated. When it came time to replace the blades again, and found they cost more than the shaver, I...

Good for handyman

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 15:06:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - I bought the Coleman because its specification were better than the models I compared it to and it was less expensive than them and even included several tools. Its oilless pump and direct drive design should make it more reliable and it hasn't...

Bad Choice, Contributed to poor health

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:29:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - I am an advocate of premium quality dog food because I have seen a dramatic improvement in the health of my pet since switching from Pro Plan to a better quality food, Canidae. Please see my review of Canidae dry food for more detail.

Pet thrives on this exceptional food

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:10:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - Some people "fuel" their dogs for a lifetime on the cheapest food available and their is no obvious harm. And at $10 for a 40 lb bag, they have an economic incentive. The same people would argue that their mother smoked, ate bacon, butter and...

Incredibly fun

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 16:49:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - As I write this it is snowing outside, the first snow fall of the year, and I am still riding my Vespa p200e to work. It isn't because I like arriving at my destination half frozen. It is because I love riding the Vespa.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - I bought my base model manual transmission accent brand new in the spring of 1997. I did a lot of research and test drove a dozen cars. I was looking for an entry level car and I still believe the accent was the best choice. However I have some...

Exactly what I want in a Camera!

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 23:22:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjgroff - Before I get into the specifics I should warn you my view of this camera may be tainted. I am very fussy about my gadgets. I frequently clean them, obsessively return them to their protective cases after use, and refuse to lone them to all but the most...
