calexis says "Great Product" about Palm Tungsten E Handheld

calexis — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:29:29 GMT

I really like this product a lot. I think the operating system is way more stable than the pocket verison of windows. The product is nice looking, a good size, easy to carry with you, but not so tiny that you are going to lose it or be unable to use it because the keys or screen are too small. The handwriitng reconigition is easy to use and the programs- phone book, address book, calander, etc. really make it easy to organize your life and be on top of things. You can also donwload tons of 3rd party applications like games and various other organizing software which add to the fun and functionality. It works seemlessly with my computer too which is great!...

calexis says "Great Little Bag" about Chrome Messenger bags

calexis — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:22:20 GMT

This is a great little bag. It is just the right size to tote all the stuff you need when you head out for the days adventures. It has a comfortable shoulder strap so it is not too heavy or uncomfortable to carry and doesn't dig into your shoulder. It is good looking, so you can take it with you wherever you want to or need to go. It is durable so if it gets wet, in the rain or snow, you don't have to worry about ruining it. It cleans easily if you spill something or get it on there. OVerall, a great little bag that I would highly recommend for anyone who needs a multipurpose durible bag to carry with you....

calexis says "Great for multiple dogs" about iRobot Roomba Sage For Pets

calexis — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:19:36 GMT

I bought this product because my old old roomba was having a hard time dealing with all the hairs generated by my 2 shedding beagles. I am so glad I did. This vaccuum is easily able to handle picking up after all the pet hair, without having to be dumped every two seconds (although I do dump it out after each cleaning and get the little stuck hairs off its wheels or it gets much less effective.) It is quiet and doesn't scare the dogs like a full sized regular vaccuum. It takes a while for it to get all over the house and vaccum everything, but who cares- i"m not doing it right. It has an easy scheduler and you can set up virtual walls so it doesn't go into rooms you don't want it to. You can also have it spot clean particular dirty spots. I love it and would never go back to living without it, ever!...

calexis says "Makes dinner easy" about Cuisinart CSC-650 6.5-Quart Slow Cooker

calexis — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:16:52 GMT

I am very pleased with this slow cooker. It really makes making dinner a breeze. You can just pop something in there in the morning and let it cook for 8, 9, 10 even up to 12 hours depending on what you are making. The cooker comes with a book of recipes but there are also endless amounts of recipes online. You can make hearty beef and chicken meals or whatever, chicken catacciore, etc. that make it look like you were in the kitchen all day. It is healthy because there is not as much fat/ grease as frying. It also uses less electricity then turning on your whole oven. The meat gets juicy and done to perfection because it cooks on such a low temperature. And this slow cooker offers a lot of great features- there are different heat levels so you can set it to cook on low or high, and it has a great capacity so you can cook a lot of food at once; and it is not too heavy and it is easy to clean. I recommend it to anyone. ...

calexis says "Great Mixer" about KitchenAid Stand Mixer - Artisan

calexis — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:10:26 GMT

This is a great mixer. It makes making cookies take about 2 seconds because you just add the stuff and turn it on and go. They even make a pour spot so you can add flour and eggs and things without turning off the mixer and without getting stuff all over your counter. There are different attachemnts for dough, bread, etc. that come with the mixer. You can also buy additional attachments to make your mixer do all sorts of things. It can turn into an ice cream maker which makes great homemade ice cream in under an hour (not counting mixing time) without having to use salt or anything. It can turn into a pasta maker or a meat grinder. All sorts of things. Its just fantastic and well worth the money. Far better and easier than a stand mixer will ever be....

calexis says "Makes baking a breeze!" about KitchenAid Stand Mixer - Classic

calexis — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 04:02:09 GMT

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It makes baking cookies and brownies and breed a breeze. Add the ingredients and go. No more batter sticking to beaters or having to stop every two minutes to wipe batter off the edge of the bowl so everything mixes. It also comes with tons of useful attachments like an icrecream maker that I have for it which is also a breeze and easy to use.
The downsides are it can be hard to add ingredients while mixing. But kitchenaid has accounted for this by having an additional accessory you can buy- a pour spout funnel type thing which resolves the problem.
This is great, overall, for a casual baker to make life easier or a serious baker to make delicious treats!...

calexis says "Vast improvement- fun and stylish!" about Apple - iPod Video White (30 GB) Media Player

calexis — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 03:59:03 GMT

I have this ipod and it is a great improvement over the previous generations model. The battery life is much better and I have had it for almost a year and there has been no problem so far with it holding a charge. It stays charged for about 6-8 hours of constant music play.
The scroll wheel and menu buttons are great, easy to use and intuitive. Loading music is a breeze, although I don't like that this unit doesn't have firewire as the earlier ones did, the USB 2.0 is still almost as fast and more universal to macs and pcs.
The video feature is nice but I don't love that you are limited to uploading and playing videos that are in itunes. I wish I could download my regular video files that I get off the internet without having to convert them.
Overall a great product that I reccomend for music and movie lovers. The hard drive is just the right size for an average user and the ipod itself is stylish and intuitive to use.
