Michael says "Practically Pefect In Every way" about Leica - D-LUX Digital Camera

Michael — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:22:19 GMT

This camera is just great and blows away all other digital camera we have owned. The pictures are of the highest quality and shine next to all others. It is much more expenseive, but worth every penny. Even the guys at the camera shop where we print comment on the quality of the photos. Just buy it and call it a day. You will love it.

Michael says "Fast great popcorn" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Michael — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:56:10 GMT

This is a fantastic popcorn popper. I used it tonight! Just add a bit of oil, put in popcorn and in a couple minutes you have perfect popcorn. There are typically very few unpopped kernels. The popcorn does taste like the movies. We like to use olive oil which makes it a bit healthier and that works great. My daughter also loves to watch us cook. We have an electric cook top and this works well on it - but I must say it worked even better when we had gas.

Buy one - they are inexpenseive and fun to use. They are also easy to clean, but hey - who likes to clean up? Not me.

The company that makes the Whirley Pop also makes salts, oil and has various breeds of popcorn. Their popcorn is great, but I am not a big fan of their flavored salts. The salts tend to be too much flavor and too fine in size for my taste.

Michael says "Generally Good Produce, But Expensive" about Whole Foods - Austin, TX

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 20:59:56 GMT

Generally good produce, but sometimes you feel like there is too much of their horee use brand 365 being pushed. Also you cannot find great European brands and other specialty items....

Sit back, relax and enjoy a great time feeling history. And maybe you might even see them win!...

Michael says "Does an excellent job, but takes a long time to clean" about Miele Optima G2470SCVi Built-in Dishwasher

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 13:27:16 GMT

We love this machine. It takes a long time to do the dishes, but when they come out they are much cleaner than a conventional machine. So the wait is worth it. It also looks great when it is part of your cabinets.

Michael says "Beautiful, simple and makes great coffee" about Chemex CM-8A 8-Cup Coffee Maker

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 13:24:27 GMT

This is a great product that makes excellent coffee. The filters are super thick and really filter out all the bitterness that may exist in coffee beans. There is also a hand blown version that is more expensive, but looks much better. I would recommend the hand blown version if you don't mind spending twice the price. ...

Michael says "Keeps your whites white. " about Miele Touchtronic W1213 Front Load Washer

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 12:51:06 GMT

This machine does a great job. If you have used .conventional american washers all of the white stuff turns gray. But not with a Miele. You get great clean clothing. The machine is also very gentle and you can wash very fragile items that you would not put in an agitator washing machine...

Michael says "Ok product, but looks better than it works" about Nespresso Essenza Espresso Machine & Coffee Maker - C100

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 12:47:23 GMT

I would not recommend this product. it does an ok job, but not great. I have had espresso with other home machines that is much better. It is also super expensive to buy and to operate. If you want ok espresso that is easy to make, then this is ok. ...

Michael says "Inexpensive solid product" about Krups Cofee Grinder - 203-42

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 12:42:16 GMT

This is a good solid product. You will need to figure out how long to grind your beans since this does not fix a fine vs course grind. But it gets the job done. It is also quite loud when you grind. ...

Michael says "Very cool and flexible chair for baby through toddler" about Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair (Kinderzeat)

Michael — Sat, 12 May 2007 12:28:54 GMT

We bought this chair for our 4.5 year old in Germany about 5 years ago before they started to import it to the US. It was one of our first purchases for our daughter. It lets your child be part of your life at the dinner table, but still keeps them in their seat. It also is not a huge ugly piece of plastic that sits off to the side. It just blends in. We have used it for almost 5 years, which from our perspective makes it a great value. We have a new born and he is going to start using it as well. It is not a throw away item, but something to keep. It also comes in about 10 colors from conservative to high powered green and orange. Just buy it and you will be happy with your purchase. ...

Michael says "This stroller rocks" about Bugaboo Frog Stroller

Michael — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:51:09 GMT

This is a great stroller. We have had 5 others (sad but true) and this is by far the best. We also spent a lot more on the 5 than on the Bugaboo. It is easy to use on the street or in the grass. You will love it if you get it....
