.
The model number is slightly different. Keep that in mind when...

Great travel companion!

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:18:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I received this gps as a Father's Day gift this past June and absolutely love it. I'm not the best with directions and this thing makes travel pretty much worry-free. Granted, none of these gps's are 100% accurate, but the nuvi 660 does a remarkable...

Great travel bag for DSLR and more

Tue, 9 Sep 2008 12:45:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - About 6 months ago I purchased my first DSLR camera. I'd gotten fed up with missing priceless moments waiting for my point-and-shoot to focus. Anyway, the biggest thing I miss about the p&s cameras are their portablility. Most are easily...

Save that old harddrive!

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:40:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - Getting rid of a computer because it's just too slow? Still have loads of data on the harddrive you'd like to save? Why copy it over to your new machine, when you can leave it right where it is? If you're thinking about upgrading, or purchasing a new...

Great coffee, good looking.

Mon, 19 May 2008 18:19:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I've owned this coffee maker for about 6 months now and I'm very happy with it. The machine makes great tasting, piping-hot coffee every time. It's also a nice looking appliance. We'd recently redone our kitchen using red as an accent color and this...

22 inches of widescreen goodness...with a twist!

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:22:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I recently purchased an HP w2207 wide-screen flat panel monitor as a little gift to myself. I have to say, if not for some relatively minor flaws, this monitor would be a perfect 10. Screen: The screen is big and bright and beautiful. The...

Tiny Size, Big Sound

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:13:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - Last year, I purchased the Carlo Robelli SX mini for my daughter's first guitar. She's 8 and was attending a music camp over the summer. Guitar was one of the classes she wanted to take, so I had to find a relatively inexpensive guitar, just in case she...

Canon Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm Lens

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 23:56:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - OK, first off, I'm not a photographer, just a regular Joe who couldn't stand missing special moments waiting for the shutter of my crappy point and shoot to open and close. The delay was maddening and the results, so-so. So, I decided to plunk down...

X10 IconRemote (A.k.a.: Philips Prestigo SRU8010)

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 12:58:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - This remote seems to have been kicked around a bit and has landed with the video surveillance/home automation/overblown marketing company, X10. Despite the cheesy website and seemingly overblown claims, I ordered one of these puppies for the following...

Saitek Eclipse II (PK02): Light it up!

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 15:13:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I received this keyboard as a gift and it's just fantastic! The keys have a great feel to them when typing. The layout is the same as most other keyboards, so there's nothing tricky about typing with it. The footprint is smaller than your typical...

For what it's worth...

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 23:35:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I bought this vacuum as a last minute replacement to an Electrolux EL6985A canister vac, similar in size. That one cost me $300!! This one was only $69.99 on sale at Sears. So I grabbed it. Well, you get what you pay (or don't pay) for. While this...

Solid, feature rich, alarm clock.

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 14:14:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I had a 18-year old dual alarm that finally bit the dust and I needed to replace it a.s.a.p. I had work the next day! I knew I needed a dual alarm and had a Sony Dream Machine in mind, but then I found this one with the MP3 connection. In the end, that...

Blockbuster Entertainment Online Store: Great for folks with a local Blockbuster near by.

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:37:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I've been a customer for over a year now, and I have to say that I much preferred their original site over the "improved" version. It's taken a little bit of getting used to, and it loads much more slowly. That said, I don't spend much time there...

Urge Online Service: Great service, if you have the money.

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 20:12:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - UPDATE: since writing this review, URGE has partnered with the Rhapsody online music service. So, I'm not sure what affect that's had on the service...good or bad. I recently took advantage of the URGE free 14-day trial membership and was pretty...

Great, educational fun...to go!

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 13:23:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - We've had the V.Smile pocket for over a year now and, while it's not a toy they play with everyday, when the kids do use it, it's for an hour or more at a clip. I'd heard about the V.Smile, but didn't see the use in purchasing a large unit that could...

Pint-sized, but POWERFUL! And Expensive.

Thu, 5 Apr 2007 11:24:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - We've owned this vac for almost 2 years and it's very powerful, very quiet, and very portable. We'd purchased it because we don't have much wall-to-wall carpeting...mostly area rugs. Our thinking was that we didn't really need a unit with a powerhead...

Works well, but you pay for it

Tue, 3 Apr 2007 12:59:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - I originally had a Kenmore dishwasher that only lasted 4 years before the motor went, so I decided to pay more for a better machine. The Bosch machines seem, on the whole, to be very highly rated, but are very expensive. This model is one of their...

Good bang for the buck.

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 14:12:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - FM transmitters allow you to playback your mp3s from an mp3 player by broadcasting the output to a frequency that you choose and have your FM radio tuned to. Be mindful that, especially in a metro area, there could be many other broadcast signals...

Approaching Portable Perfection

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 14:12:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - Let's face it, none of these devices are without fault, but this one's pros definitely out-weigh it's cons. Because most of the reviews are very pro-Zen, I'm going to try and concentrate this review on things that I found to be wrong with it. Just...

Disappointed

Wed, 31 May 2006 13:08:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mvmone - My wife and I took delivery of this bed a little over a month ago. Call me a sucker, but I got sucked in by this whole air-mattress scam, too. We’d looked at the Tempur-pedic mattresses and I felt that they were very comfortable to lie on, but they...
