Jab Automotive Svc Ctr: Get it repaired right the first time.

Tue, 21 Aug 2001 17:03:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - Nothing is more frustrating than brining your vehicle in for service, only to find that $50.00 repair will actually cost over $100.00 or the repair you had completed last week needs a re-repair job.

We have 4 vehicles in our household, mine nearly...

You want this printer

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 15:49:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - My HP Deskjet bit the dust a few months ago, so I had to do all printing on my Brother laser.

High quality color printing had become a 'Must-Have' (moving up from a 'would be nice to have'...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - I've made a total of 7 purchases from c4sure.com and can only say positive things.

Of particular interest is how the sales and support staff treat you. I purchased an HP CD-R a few months ago, and when I checked the site to see the status of my...

A tall glass of cool water on demand

Wed, 9 May 2001 16:26:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - Working outdoors on a hot summer afternoon, makes me crave a nice tall glass of icy cold fresh tasting water. I could simply fill a pitcher from the tap and leave it in the fridge, since most of New Jersey water is pretty good out of the tap.

A Camera to last forever (well maybe)

Tue, 8 May 2001 17:27:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - I originally bought the weathermatic for my wife, after a day at the Jersey shore. A few grains of sand got into her old camera ruining it.

I thought if this camera is waterproof, no way can sand get inside. That was about 5 years ago. The camera...

Great power and versatility

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - Several weeks ago I decided to remove the tubular metal swing set, which I had set up for my kids when they were younger. Unfortunately, most of the metal support members were 6 to 8 feet long. (our local trash collection will only take a maximum of 4...

Great steaks at a cost

Sun, 6 May 2001 21:36:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - As one who's gone from your basic bargin basement gas grill (no name), to a name brand (sunbeam), then another name brand (thermos), and never quite finding the grill that worked just right, I went for broke on a Weber.

It's like having a new...

Maybe SEX sells

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 18:56:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - My 3682 came free with Voice Stream service, and I saw (sorry if this sounds sexist) Jamie Lee Curtis pulling herself out of an elevator while holding onto what resembled the M3682. So, this phone must be good, right?

No such luck.

The ideal cordless drill

Thu, 15 Mar 2001 14:48:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - Do you really need a 14.4 our 18 volt drill/driver? You can save some $$ opting for the Dewalt DW974 KQ the 12 volt equivalent to the more expensive 14.4 or 18 volt models.

The 12 volt is more than adequate for just about everything...

An excellent power tool

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 19:13:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - I actually purchased the rotozip at a local hardware 'superstore' before seeing the infomercials.

My first use for the tool was squares from 1/4" plywood. The first squares I cut were anything but square. The tools high RPMs and high torque make...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - My first experience with this cookware goes back to the mid

1950's, where I watched my grandmother cook everything in her iron cookware. (It may not have been 'Lodge', since she had brought it into the U.S. from Finland around the turn of the...

When good,very good; when bad,the worst

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - I signed with Comcast@home a few years ago as a beta tester, the installation was free and I had no lease payments on the modem. For the first few weeks I was amazed by the speed of downloads and the overall performance while doing a search.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author opie0626 - What a great phone! I'd been using a old Motorola for about 18 months and felt it was time for an upgrade. With the Holidays approaching and my wife asking for a new and better phone I set out to get the 'Best Deal'. Note: We'd been Bell-Atlantic...

So-So Scanner
