Wed, 24 Jan 2001 21:44:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - I recently purchased a Sony WEGA 27 inch television and a Sony DVP-S360 DVD player. I thought it would be a good idea to buy a Sony home theater receiver to hook up everything together and to replace my old Nakamichi, which didn't even have a remote...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - I recently moved into a new apartment and needed to purchase my own vacuum cleaner.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - I've been wanting a digital camera for a long time, but I couldn't really justify buying one. However, a friend of mine bought the Sony Cybershot 50, and the more I played with it, the more I knew that I wanted a digital camera for myself. Also, my...

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 13:36:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - I am a huge Nokia fan, but was forced to try a new phone when AT&T Wireless introduced unlimited Internet access. Only two of their phone models have the Internet access, so I had to trade in my Nokia 6162 for this Ericsson phone.

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 12:23:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - I really wanted to like Sprint PCS. They have terrific pricing, good national coverage and digital PCS service. I use Sprint for my 800 number service and general long distance, and they do a good job with that.

However, their network just...

Luxus 38: The ultimate push mower

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 12:49:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sourpuss - Whenever you tell someone about a reel mower, they'll always respond with some comment about how hard they are to push. But have these people ever actually used a human powered reel mower themselves? Obviously not, or they wouldn't say it was hard! When...
