btrfly02 says "Not sweet enough.." about PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

btrfly02 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:48:21 GMT

I gave Purevia a decent try. I was having breakfast with my brother and we tried it in our coffee. My brother thought I forgot to add it because he said he could not taste the sweetness at all. Two Purevia sticks later, still no taste. We had to add a Splenda in order to sweeten the coffee. I appreciate the idea of a natural calorie-free sweetner, but I still need to taste something. Ultimately, our coffee did not taste good using Purevia and since that is what I primarily use these sweetners for, I doubt I would ever purchase this product on my own.

btrfly02 says "Awesome heated massager, great for busy professionals..." about Homedics Programmable 10-Motor Back Massager with Heat

btrfly02 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:32:32 GMT

The Homedics 10 motor back massager gives you true comfort and comnvenience. It hooks up to any decent size chair (I recommend your desk chair) and provides several options for deep back massage. You can use the attached remote to select your desired speed and it also features heat for those days when you need a little extra or you're just feeling cold. The massage is very thorough, I can really feel it deeply kneading thru each muscle in my upper and lower back, although I would have like some shiatsu massage, especially for my neck area. Still, this back massager really addresses the knots in your back and helps you relax. You can comfortably use it while you're doing work, using the computer, eating, or relaxing and watching TV. Highly recommend!

btrfly02 says "Really great sound with awesome ipod/zune dock!" about Logitech X-240 (970285) Speaker System

btrfly02 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:34:17 GMT

These Logitech x-240 pc speakers exceeded my expectations. The sound is wonderful and the bass is better than some home stereos. I also love the ipod/zune cradle because it allows me to easily synchronize my music and photos and charge my portable music devices simultaneously. These speakers come with a subwoofer that you can switch on or off for awesome bass and the mp3 cradle has volume controls on the side and a convenient headphone jack. The cradle also has several connections for various portable music devices, pdas, or compatible mobile phones. I highly recommend this because it gives you more than just great pc sound.

btrfly02 says "Great backlit keyboard!" about Logitech G15 (920-000379) Keyboard

btrfly02 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 02:56:10 GMT

The Logitech G15 keyboard was created for gamers but I use it for work and it's great! I often work late and don't like to keep everyone awake with the light on, so this keyboard allows me to dim the lights and because of the backlight, I can still see the keys. I also love the fully customizable keys. I can easily open a folder, compose an e-mail, open a program, etc with the touch of a button. The easy to use software makes this all very easy to do. This is the best keyboard I have ever had and the gaming features are a bonus.

btrfly02 says "Great external hard drive.." about Seagate 250GB FreeAgent Desktop USB

btrfly02 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 02:41:48 GMT

The Seagate Freeagent line of external hard drives are simply great & reliable. They work right out of the box, making it easy to save all of your important files by dragging and dropping. It has a very large hard drive and comes in larger sizes if you need it. Mine is only 250 gb, but that's more than enough for me at this time. I back up all of my pictures, documents, games, videos, music and files on it, quickly and efficiently. If you don't want to pay extra for a portable hard drive, this one does the job well for less.

btrfly02 says "Great HDTV, awesome quality & value!" about Samsung LN40A550 40 in. HDTV LCD TV

btrfly02 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 02:29:04 GMT

I had my eye on this television for awhile and when I was finally able to purchase it, I was so pleased. This Samsung 40 inch HDTV is perfect for my living room. It has lots of inputs for all of your high definition desires. It features 1080p (hull HD) and 5ms response time which delivers a smooth, crisp picture. One of my favorite features is the amazing contrast: 30,000! The pictures are so sharp and vivid, it even enhances my dvds. My son plays video games on it and says it's amazing. I also have my fios and home theater connected to it for a truly amazing visual/audio experience. I highly recommend this HDTV.

btrfly02 says "Great rice cooker, built-in timer is a lifesaver..." about Aroma 8 cup rice cooker

btrfly02 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:15:10 GMT

I am very pleased with my investment in this rice cooker. Although it is inexpensive, it cooks rice very well and doesn't leave a mess at all. It's very easy to clean afterwards and very easy to prepare. I also love the built-in timer that allows you to set it up to 15 hours in advance. You can go to work and come home to a delicious meal; especially if you get a slow cooker to complement it. It also has a stay warm function that keeps it warm after cooking until you're able to get to it. Highly recommend!

btrfly02 says "Comfortable and secure booster seat." about Clek Olli Booster Seat

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:27:51 GMT

I purchased the Clek Olli Booster Seat because my son's old seat was very uncomfortable and we wanted something he could relax in, even during long road trips. This is a very secure booster seat and also very comfortable thanks to the cushioned seat. My son immediately noticed the difference. I highly recommend this product.

btrfly02 says "Comfortable, clean hotel, great location" about Sheraton Hartford Hotel - East Hartford, CT

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:09:49 GMT

This is my favorite hotel to visit when I plan a casino trip with my friends or partner. This hotel is nice and clean with many convenient amenities such as, indoor heated pool, fitness center, internet access, and restaurant. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and comfortable. If you are a preferred (club) guest, you stay on a separate floor and you get access to the Club Lounge and free breakfast every weekday morning! You can't beat that! This is one of my favorite hotels.

btrfly02 says "Great phone with many features!" about Panasonic - Panasonic Cordless Phone KX-TG5777

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 06:45:24 GMT

I have had this phone for some time and it has never given me any problems. My calls are clear and my signal is interference-free. I like the many features it has such as, speakerphone, lighted keypad, voice caller id (you can hear who's calling you so you don't have to get up to look), customizable images (lets you upload pics from your pc to the phone for each of your contacts and even as wallpaper for the phone screen), and intercom (talk to your family even when you're in different rooms or floors), etc. I would highly recommend this phone.

btrfly02 says "Very fast, no problems" about Verizon FiOS Internet Service

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:40:34 GMT

I am really enjoying such fast internet service. The installation included a wireless router that I can easily configure for my laptop. I think they should have included free antivirus software, like Comcast does, but everything is great. Downloads are super fast and I never lose a signal. Highly recommended.

btrfly02 says "Terrific service, great value" about Verizon - FiOS Cable Service

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:57:25 GMT

I have had Verizon Fios TV service for a few weeks now and I am very pleased. There are plenty of channels, a great on demand menu and plenty of perks. I really like the universal backlit remote that comes standard and the boxes are really simple to use and program. I especially like the HDTV service and the DVR that is now programmable remotely on any computer anywhere! I think they give you lots for the price you pay, especially if you get the bundle which locks in your rate for two years and qualifies you for a cash rebate. I wasn't thrilled about the fact that you have to pay for each additional box, but it didn't really break my budget considering I was paying more with Comcast to begin with.

btrfly02 says "Powerful, user-friendly machine." about Proform Proform Crosswalk 480

btrfly02 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:32:39 GMT

I just started using this machine to jump start my weight loss goals. It's a very powerful, user-friendly machine that gets the job done. I didn't need the frills of a very expensive machine. But for the price, this machine is far from basic. It measures my distance, speed and calories burned and has 10 preloaded ifit workouts. I also love the crosswalk capabilities because I feel like I'm getting a good upper body workout too. I would recommend this treadmill to anyone who seeks something simple, yet effective.

btrfly02 says "convenient and powerful" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

btrfly02 — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:44:39 GMT

The Windex Outdoor All in one cleaner is a lifesaver. I have wanted to clean my windows for some time now but it is such a pain to get up on a ladder out there. This product made it easy to reach difficult places and cleaned the windows wonderfully, without streaks. I would recommend this product. Thanks for the sample!...

btrfly02 says "A fun, economical car with luxury features and lots of comfort!" about Ford Fusion - 2006

btrfly02 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 02:39:25 GMT

I traded in my gas guzzling SUV for this wonderful 2006 Ford Fusion SEL (4 cylinder) at a fantastic price. The value is ridiculous. My vehicle has fantastic fuel economy for a non-hybrid sedan and lots of room for my family. My son loves the quiet, leather interior and the amazing sound system. The engine also has a little "zoom zoom" to it since Ford fused some Mazda 6 features with their new sedan. I hear that there's now a Hybrid version for 2010 with the highest tax rebate allowable - $3,500! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this vehicle again and highly recommend it. Why pay so much for a foreign vehicle when you can buy a solid, luxe sedan at a great price right here in America?

btrfly02 says "awesome phone - love it" about Samsung - Instinct Cell Phone

btrfly02 — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 02:45:14 GMT

This cell phone is everything I wanted and more. It has a large touch screen, slim design, 3G internet, visible voicemail, 2mp camera, pc management, music and video player, built in Sprint navigation and Sprint TV, and a whole lot more. I like it a lot more than the IPhone. Sound is clear and loud and signal is great. I can even make hotel reservations online. It's what I've been waiting for.

btrfly02 says "It worked well, but didn't last." about Hoover Vacuums - Hoover Slider

btrfly02 — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 23:20:15 GMT

The Hoover Slider worked well while it lasted. It picked up lots of dirt and was easy to empty. The problem was that it stopped working after a few months out of nowhere. It started making a loud noise and would not pick up dirt. Although I usually think of Hoover as a relaible brand, I unfortunately cannot recommend this product.

btrfly02 says "Great crossover for families" about Chrysler Pacifica - 2004

btrfly02 — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 06:37:11 GMT

We purchased this car used last year and it came fully equipped and fully powered. I really like the front and side airbags and the spacious third row seating which I have used more often than I thought I would for family road trips. I actually think the cargo area is fine, even when using the third row. I have driven my inlaws to the airport (six total passengers plus three pieces of luggage and miscellaneous bags) with space to spare. This car is comfortable and stylish, a true crossover. I wish the fuel efficiency and rear view visibility were better, but the All Wheel Drive and the 3.4L engine make this quite a powerful vehicle. Overall, no complaints here....

btrfly02 says "Good service, average facilities, great location." about Four Points by Sheraton Washington D.C. Downtown - Washington, DC

btrfly02 — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 00:11:12 GMT

I visited this hotel for a weekend getaway to D.C. The price was great for the location and my past experiences with the Sheraton encouraged me to book here. While the staff was really nice and efficient, the rooms were not much better than what you would find at a Choice Hotel for less. I was also not pleased with the misleading web photos of the fitness center and the pool. Those facilities look nothing like the pictures!! The pool also reeked of chlorine, I could not bear to stay in the room. Overall, my stay there was an average experience, somewhat disappointing considering my previous Sheraton stays in other locations. ...

btrfly02 says "Decent, stylish phone that could use better features." about Samsung - M500 Cell Phone

btrfly02 — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:38:27 GMT

This is a pretty good phone. It's sleek, stylish and overall pretty reliable. Some of its features include digital camera and camcorder (no zoom though), media player, memory card slot, etc. Battery life is average, but you can buy an extended battery fairly cheap online. The keypad is recessed so it is a little difficult to dial or text message, especially if you have big fingers. The phone does have some nice features and will perform well, but I might consider other options first....
