Mixed Bag

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:27:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - We've had this washer for 2 years now and were initially floored by its great performance. As time went by however, an unpleasant "feature" of this model began creeping into frequency. Occasionally, a load of laundry would develop a faint odor along the...

Sleek Smartphone

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:15:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Bought this item back in December '07 and has since withstood bangs, drops, liquids and my 1 year old toddler. The one thing that really got my attention on this phone was the speaker. Loud and crystal clear, the speaker will provide your toddler with...

Heavy Metal

Fri, 1 Jun 2007 05:19:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - We purchased the Oki c9600hdn in December '06 with an additional 500 sheet tray, duplexer and hard drive and I must say that this thing is a rock solid performer that will never let you down. After running it through approximately 125,000 pages, the...

Little Wonder

Wed, 30 May 2007 03:32:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Purchased this guy at Best Buy back in March for its clean, clutter free design as well as its HEPA filtration. It was also the only model they had that employed the use of a dust bag containment system. Having bought quite a few bagless vacs over the...

Wasted Money

Mon, 28 May 2007 03:33:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - We purchased this vacuum for its small size and apparent power but in actual use, it turned out to be one of the worst ones we bought. First, if you have specialty carpets like berbers or thick cut pile, this supposedly lightweight machine was a...

Intel Desktop Board D865GLCL Motherboard: Best mATX board

Sat, 13 Mar 2004 22:30:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - After purchasing and installing 43 of these boards, I'd have to say that this is the Mother of all mATX boards. Along with a zero percent failure rate (all 43 have been zero so far), it comes packed with everything you will ever need including full...

Excellent Buy

Tue, 17 Feb 2004 19:32:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - One of the best rolling totes around to hold your toiletries and one day's worth of clothes - dress and casual - in case your primary luggage is delayed. Good quality in-line skate wheels, sturdy frame, separate exterior wet pocket fully lined with...

best digital camera for the money

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 19:07:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - This is probably the best digital camera on the market thats priced under $1000.

At the size of a grapefruit, this little camera has the best ergonomic fit in the palm of your hands. It is shaped so well, that its easier to simply carry it...

Sleek Silver

Tue, 8 Oct 2002 19:26:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I bought this very stylish silver dvd recorder at CompUSA and am quite impressed by it ..... when it works.

Picture quality is very very good from the progressive scan feature - quite noticeable on larger screen televisions. On recorded discs,...

The 60 second Good vs Bad

Sun, 14 Jul 2002 05:37:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - The GOOD:

Printer is cheap.

Inktanks are cheaper than the average ink tanks from other brands.

USB & Parallel connectivity.

Stunning photo renderings.

Epson drivers work very well on all properly...

"C" rating drive

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 22:19:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I purchased this tape drive to archive our library of files that is slowly inundating our HP drive.

While the Seagate DAT drives are only HALF the price of the HP and Exabyte drives, one has to wonder where the sacrifice was made.

Hard To Beat

Thu, 19 Jul 2001 04:31:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Working as the IT administrator for an engineering/surveying firm is a tough job. The employees are picky about everything and the applications demand top-of-the-line hardware.

So when a few of my Viewsonics began their journey to the...

Something you should know

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 18:06:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - This printer has fantastic output and decent speed. The quiet motor and smooth paper handling are good indicators of high quality. But this fashion statement comes with due drawbacks and can be a serious blow to your work. Without further delay, I...

What many still don't know

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 22:36:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Judging by the current reviews, I gather most did not read my original Elph2 review before it dropped off the end of this post. So I shall share it again.

ELPH 2 101

Forcing the Elph2 into SLR mode

Apple Power Macintosh G4 Base: Everyone has the wrong idea

Thu, 18 May 2000 19:56:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - OK. Yall might bash me for writing this but oh well. This new system is definitely pretty and has the sleekest unpacking setup I have ever set up. But this is where it rather ends. If you leave the system alone and not try to make it do all the things a...

You get more than what you pay for

Thu, 18 May 2000 02:35:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Cheap, very good photo quality, and simple hassle free software. This is one of those products where you get waaaay more than what you paid. Photo quality is as good as the 890cse with the exception of speed. I figured that the only differences between...

Dell Inspiron 3500 A366GT: Excellent Buy

Tue, 16 May 2000 19:27:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I purchased the 3500 in January '99 for our construction field crew which uses global positioning systems for their area of work and I am simply amazed at the abuse it can take. Small drops here and there, red dirt, salt water air and the mud all washes...

What most don't know

Mon, 15 May 2000 22:35:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - My little Elph was purchased the day it was on the shelves and is still functioning but with some minor glitching. At first it was taking lousy pictures because I treated it as a typical point n shoot. This camera is everything BUT point n shoot. It...

Sun, 26 Mar 2000 00:47:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - WOW!

A truly cheap monitor with outstanding image quality and amazing color depth. Its very small and extremely lightweight. I think it weighs about half of the avg 17" and is approx 10% smaller too. 1024x768 true color at 85 Hz is...

Hewlett Packard HP DeskJet 895cse Ink-jet Printer: Armageddon

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 22:44:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - Simply the best. HP has a reputation for the highest ink quality on the market and they do well with that title. The HP black is just about the blackest of blacks, often out-blacking even laserjet toner blacks. The colors are deep and rich and true to...

Still the same old .......

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 21:54:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I first bought a canon bjc-4000 waaaay back in the early 90's and although it was one of the first color printers to hit the markets, it was much better off as a black and white only. Today, the 4000 series hasn't changed much except for photo-realistic...

Matrox Marvel G200-TV: So so

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 04:02:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I initially purchased matrox cards starting with their first millenium series and was sold on the brand for several years thereafter. When the G100 hit the market I snatched a few for some new systems I was adding to an existing network. I immediately...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 01:17:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I have purchased several Iiyama monitors about 3 years ago and most of them are still going strong. Nice bright and crisp images with moderate to low background reflection. High resolutions at true color can be displayed without flicker provided your...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 01:00:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - My first experience with Viewsonic monitors were breathtaking. Nowdays, Viewsonic is one of my highest priorities. I design and setup networks for all types of businesses and have pleased many clients with the Viewsonic label. The G810 series is just...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: WOW

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 00:22:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rshiroma - I recently bought this thing for a friend of mine who doesn't know a lot about laptops much less desktops as well. The budget was rather tight while the "desired" features were more on the high end spectrum (which is 99% of the orders I make)...
