Can't wait to get home from vacations to sleep in my bed!

Thu, 10 Mar 2005 22:41:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - About 2 years ago I purchased a tempurpedic mattress from Brookstone. I had been thinking about this for quite a while, but after my wife consistently had back pains after waking up we decided we needed to try something different than a regular...

Great camera when your "good" camera should stay at home!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - My 3rd (of 4) Canon. My first camera was a Canon TX, a basic SLR film camera. I had a lot of fun with it in school (25 years ago!) and it took great pictures. Many years later, I replaced it with a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. Again, I had a lot of...

Great camera, packed with features

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - My 4th Canon, and still happy. My first camera was a Canon TX, a basic SLR film camera. I had a lot of fun with it in school (25 years ago!) and it took great pictures. Many years later, I replaced it with a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. Again, I...

Excels at making something simple complicated

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - A kitchen timer should be simple. Turn the dial to a number, and go. I got this timer as a Christmas present, and it's going back: - It's a pain to set. Turn the dial, and the hours start blinking. When the hours are blinking, you turn the dial...

Start geocaching!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - I bought this unit to use primarily to go geocaching (see www.geocaching.com for information). Geoc...

2 motors burnt out!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - I'm on my third ice cream maker now. My first two were the wooden type in this review, and my third one is the plastic bucket type.

All three seem to use the same type of motor, and that is my complaint. I probably make ice cream more often...

No salt, no ice, no problem!

Sun, 1 Jul 2001 22:36:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - I love ice cream. I really do.

I've always been the ice and salt kind of ice cream maker. Growing up we always used the hand cranked one, but when I got married I insisted on an electric. My wife wanted the crank, but that would mean: Tim...

Not level? Forget about it!

Sun, 1 Jul 2001 22:18:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - I really liked the idea of this type of pool. I wanted something that I could set up for the 2.5 months of summer we have in Rochester, NY. I didn't want a big, ugly above ground pool sitting there year round.

My backyard is fairly level...

Works best when off

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - Maybe my title is a little harsh. A few weeks after I bought the machine through egghead.com's auction web site, it started burning up. Really.

After being on for a few hours I would start to smell a burning smell. I suspected something...

Road to success (?)

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - With all the problems Xerox has been having lately with missing estimates, substantial drops in their stock price, and negative press, I hope that this printer will help turn around Xerox into a more profitable company, at least in the SOHO market.

My pride and joy!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - This product truly lives up to the hype.

For years, I had been getting long winded advertisements from Vitamix on their blenders. From the description of all it could do, it really sounded too good to be true. I already had a blender, juice...

Best in class

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 22:18:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - When I wife and I were looking to replace her VW Cabriolet (wasn't a happy day - convertibles and infants don't mix well!) we were looking for a AWD vehicle.

At the time, I had a Suzuki Sidekick and really enjoyed how it felt in the snow. I...

Fun to drive, good in snow

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - This is the first American car I've owned since 1982. The main selling point was that Dodge made an...

Reliable, inexpensive, fun

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 09:03:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - I was a little nervous buying a low end SUV back in '95 (or was it '94?). Suzuki isn't exactly the leader in the market, but there is nothing I hate spending money on more than cars.

I live in Rochester, NY, and we got a lot of snow. I also...

Size DOES matter

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timdthomas - My old camcorder was a Sony 8mm that I got about 10 years ago. It was small for its time, but I really wanted to get something that was much smaller now that I have 2 kids and all their junk to carry around with me!

I was happy to get this...
