Mediocre monitor

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 07:40:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I work at the IT department at my employer where 30 of these were deployed throughout the office. It's great to have a large monitor with high resolution because it allows several windows to be open side by side. The chief complaint that I've...

Leatherman Skeletool

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 06:57:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - Before buying the Leatherman Skeletool, I carried a CRKT folder but after taking on my new job, I found that I needed more than a blade. I work in IT and I found myself often having to leave the server room to find a tool that I did not think I needed...

Denali gloves

Sat, 3 Dec 2005 22:16:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought these gloves because of the near freezing temperatures in my area. It doesn't snow here regularly, but it gets cold enough to freeze water occasionally during the winter. I own a jacket (shell) and a fleece by TNF only because there is a TNF...

Sat, 3 Dec 2005 21:22:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought these Oakley Half Jackets because it was one of the styles that they make for military and government sales. The styles are the same as their regular line, but the SI color scheme is different from their regular colors. I opted to get the...

Travel Lodge in Santa Monica on Pico

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 23:11:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - Travel Lodge in Santa Monica on Pico is a very reasonable hotel for what they charge. They are not the greatest place to stay, but far from bad. I consider Travel Lodge to be a good economy or budget hotel. I am giving this hotel a 4 star rating...

Los Angeles International Airport

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 22:41:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - Los Angeles airport is one of the larger airports in my area. However, it is also one of the furthest. For this reason, I prefer to fly out of Ontario or Palm Springs when I can because they are closer. I have only used Los Angeles for one trip to and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I have had a REI Visa from US Bank for about 16 months now and have nothing but good things to say about it. American Express had denied me a Blue Cash card, so I decided to apply for a REI Visa instead. My application was approved and I received the...

Island Shangri-La: Island Shangri-La

Fri, 29 Apr 2005 23:32:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - The Island Shangri La in Hong Kong is an excellent hotel. They have another hotel in Kowloon by the same name which I have not stayed at. This has to be one of the best hotels in Hong Kong, other than perhaps The Peninsula in Tsim Sha Sui in Kowloon...

Sat, 12 Mar 2005 05:57:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought this shaver after my Braun shaver was smashed in my luggage. I should have used the hard case that Braun supplied with the shaver. That was a great shaver. However, I decided to try something new this time around. I bought this Norelco...

Sun, 5 Dec 2004 04:52:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - The Braun 5614 was my first electric shaver. Before this I was using a Gillette Sensor Excel and a Braun travel twister shaver, which I have reviewed on Epinions also. I bought this shaver because I wanted an electric shaver to save time shaving in...

Wow...I can't see my report, but Consumer Info can!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - In late October, I ordered a copy of my credit report from Experian. My credit card, however, was charged by Consumer Info Coompany instead of Experian. I called the number that was given for the company on my statement and found out that my report was...

Excellent Value printer

Sun, 3 Oct 2004 00:40:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I chose a laser printer over an ink jet printer because of the overall costs of the printer and its operation. I have owned an inkjet printer in the past only to find that I seldom printed anything in color. When I didn't use it for a while, the ink...

Braun Pocket Twist 370 Beard Trimmer: Nifty little razor

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 01:25:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought the Braun 370 razor during Marine Combat Survival Training to shave with while in the field. Shaving with the Braun 370 saves a lot of trouble compared to a blade, especially when you don’t have running water. I used a blade during the firs...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz -

The bottles I usually carry with my when I ride my bike are about 21-28 ounces, however, my bike only has 1 bottle holder so I’m limited to 28 ounces. Depending on the weather, I might finish that in one hour. I’ve been in one situation...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - The Panasonic RV32S and RV32K are the same machines except for the color of the enclosure. The S model is silver, and the K model is black.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - This computer is tough. This computer is similar to the Mity 3 in function , but the casing, wiring harness, and sensor seem to be tougher by design that the Mity 3.

The computer has seven functions, maximum, average, and current speed, dual...

Low key tough lock

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 04:44:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought this lock to lock up my commuter bike. This is one tough lock, but is also somewhat on the heavy side. It weighs in at over 3 pounds. The lock also costs more than most other locks that I?ve seen, but seems well worth it. I bought it off...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - After doing some research before getting my new/current cellular phone, I made some interesting discoveries. What I found was that MCI and AT&T cellular phone services are different entities. What happens is that MCI buys service from AT&T and sells it...

Super camera that's light on weight and your wallet

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 06:00:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I purchased the deluxe version of this camera. The difference between the regular version is the panoramic mode, and the dating function as far as I can tell.

It's posh and different from other cameras with its slide open design and gold /...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wakiz - I bought this Uniden phone at on sale at Target for $35 because they were making way for the new model. I thought to myself, Uniden seems to have a good reputation for making cordless phones, and it has a good set of features, 900Mhz Digital, lighted...
