Mon, 29 Jul 2002 15:16:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I've been in search of the perfect iron for a year or two now, ever since my ancient GE heavyweight iron finally died.

I've bought cheap irons, and I've bought expensive irons. I have yet to find one to measure up to my old 60s model GE -

3 Hours Waiting on Phone for Tech Support?

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 13:18:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - The reason we had for purchasing this Linksys was the arrival of cable internet in our house and our need to hook up more than one computer to the cable. We needed one that would handle both a Mac and a PC, and the reviews spoke of this one favorably. It...

3 Strikes and FedEx is OUT! of my life

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 04:37:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I can't begin to express the outrage I feel towards FedEx. What's worse is that until a couple months ago, I thought FedEx was a quality, first rate outfit to deal with. Wow, did they ever change my mind!

It started with an order for an...

Why the big price drop?!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I can remember looking at the Zojirushi bread machine ten or more years ago, back when bread machines were a fairly new thing. It certainly was enticing, but at that time there was no way I could justify the cost. I instead went and bought a different...

Get your money's worth several times over

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - It's been a few years since we bought our combo cooker. We bought it in the early days of our housekeeping, before there were children. We had never used a brand new piece of cast iron before - all we'd ever known were well used, well seasoned OLD cast...

I bought the wrong iron! WAHHHH! (UPDATED)

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 19:22:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I did it. I bought the wrong iron. After days and days of looking at irons, researching irons, and comparing prices between stores, I bought the wrong one.

I had been using a hand-me-down iron for many years - an old, old G.E. that used to...

Dell Dimension XPS T700r: Wrestling with Tech Support after 1 year

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 03:46:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I bought a Dell XPST (700) about a year ago. Got the extra on-site,in -your-home warranty/service agreement to go with it, too. I had heard so much about Dells, and was thrilled to get one.

For whatever reason, Dell put a 750 in mine instead...

Not too great

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - When we bought our computer, we had the option of getting Dellnet internet service for something on the line of $8.25 a month (basically $99 for a year). We were delighted to find out that yes, Dellnet had a local dialup number for our area (rural...

Exasperated Consumer Here

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 15:45:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - We recently decided that our old computer just wasn't enough and purchased a new one, built to order. It only seemed right to order an antivirus program, along with other such basics, to be placed on it.

Our new computer arrived with Norton...

I've had this one for just a little more than a month -

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I've had my HP DeskJet 932C for just a little more than a month. I like it, but have had some difficulty with using it. Whether the difficulty is in the printer itself, the computer it's connected to, or with the user I have yet to determine!

This is the only pump that worked for me!

Sun, 21 May 2000 01:01:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I had little or no reason to pump with my first two babies. Only on occasion did the need occur, so I didn't worry too much about finding a good pump. I kept a manual on hand - it ran $30 or so, and I figured that would be good enough. When it came time...

Colorful, clear, & bright - This is great!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - Some time back it became evident that I was no longer going to be able to have free access to the office (digital) camera anytime I wanted it. I had made the mistake of showing co-workers how easy it was to take a picture on the digital camera.

Good First Digital Camera

Sat, 13 May 2000 02:52:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - Several months back this camera arrived at my workplace. No one was quite sure what to do with it, so I was assigned the task of working with it. We were all quite amazed that it didn't require a roll of film. *G* We were equally delighted to find you...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - I bought a Compaq IJ300 to go with a Compaq Presario. (It was the one recommended by the salesman, promoted in the sales paper advertisement).

I did not have any problems getting it set up or running, nor did I expect to.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - We have laid to rest a large number and assortment of vacuums over the years. I was getting quite fed up and disgusted with having a vacuum that lasted only a short while before having to get another one.

Having tried a variety of brands and...

Standard Vacuum IMHO

Fri, 5 May 2000 01:07:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - The Oreck XL2600 and its little companion canister vacuum are okay, I guess. I wasn't overly impressed either positively or negatively. IMHO, it's a standard vacuum. It picks up fuzz, hair, little playdoh pieces, dirt, etc. It is lightweight and easy to...

I will never buy this brand again

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rhubarb - My favorite computer is a Mac. But - I teach children in a room full of machines running Windows and have found that it is to my benefit to have one of those at home, also. In late 1999 my family and I picked up a Compaq Presario 5441 and brought it...
