Worst Buy

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:28:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - The 'espresso' produced by this machine is weaker than that which comes from most drip coffee makers -- weaker by far than latte from...

Third World Quality

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:15:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - Only government regulations, establishing local monopolies, keep this incompetent company in business. We've had to return three boxes -- none of which came with a manual -- because they were defective. Service requires waits of up to two weeks. Even the...

Hewlett Packard Color LaserJet 2500 Laser Printer: Inferior Print Quality

Wed, 1 Dec 2004 04:55:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - In every respect but one, the HP Color Laser Jet 2500 is inferior to the Konica Minolta 2300. The HP: 1. takes longer to warm up, 2. takes long to print pages once it's ready, and -- most seriously -- 3. delivers a print quality vastly inferior,...

Minolta Magicolor 2300W Laser Printer: An Excellent Choice

Thu, 27 May 2004 23:53:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - I unpacked my 2300W four hours ago. Set up was a snap -- until I turned the printer on. Everything connected through my APC unit flashed off and on; my computer itself rebooted repeatedly. I called tech support. I was connected almost immediately to...

Prius: Still a good buy.

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 01:02:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - Nine months after buying my 2001 Prius I am less enthusiastic about the car than I was in the beginning. Despite careful driving -- my eyes often glancing at the mpg display -- I average 'only' about 43mpg around town. Contrary to EPA estimates, I get a...

A quality product, bargain price.

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:13:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - The DVR4000 has one overarching advantage: it plays both DVDs and VHS tapes. The audio quality is as good as I get from either of my VCRs or my one DVD-only player. The DVD video is as good; the VHS video a bit less so. (The DVD4000 is hooked up to a...

Tropical das Cataratas Hotel: Best Buy in Foz do Iguaçu

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 02:59:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - Though it's owned by Varig Brazilian Airlines -- the worst I've ever flown -- Hotel das Cataratas is the only place to stay in Foz do Iguaçu. Like the Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe, it is right at the falls -- closer, in fact. It's also much better...

Avoid Varig if Possible

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 01:57:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - On my latest trip to Brazil, flying full-fare first class:

1. Varig lost my bag ... twice, the first time from Sao Paulo to Manaus.

2. I spent four days in the Amazon without the bag and various necessities.

3. When the...

Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel: Ariau: Go There!

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 01:38:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nedhop - I agree for the most part with srothstein's views. I'd add that:

1. I found the place almost entirely bug-free. Bugs love me; I did not suffer a single bite. Importantly, I was not molested by a single mosquito. Rio Negro and its tributaries...
