chebcn says "I'm a fan." about ProFlowers.com

I have ordered from Proflowers several times and only once have I been disappointed. I've always gotten gorgeous, huge bouquets. The only time I did have a problem was when the vase it came with broke during shipment, and that really isn't Proflowers fault....

chebcn says "Buy the service plan, trust me" about Best Buy

I've read some of the other reviews. They make some good points... You do have to make sure your purchase is something you really want, especially when it comes to expensive items like TVs and computers. If you think it is something you might change your mind about, don't open the box. Or don't buy it in the first place. I think they have to charge you a restocking fee because they can't charge full-price for open boxes on stuff like that, or you could buy it, use it for a while and return it... I'm not sure if that's really why, I'm just guessing. But reasons like that make sense. And if you just spent a bunch of $$ on a new gadget, you know you want to be the first one opening the box and playing with it!

After you decide you really want it, I recommend getting the service plan. I have on all of my bigger purchases and have never regretted it. So far my service plans have replaced my hard drive, replaced my laptop battery and gotten me a brand new ipod. Whatever went wrong was most likely......

chebcn says "Perfect for an apartment" about Eureka Vacuum - Optima - Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum - 431A

I've had this vacuum for over two years, and it still works great. I'm not sure how durable it would be for large homes, with lots of pet and people traffic, but I have an ultra-shedding cat and long hair, and it puts up with me just fine :)

Hair does get stuck in the brushes, and I have to make sure I clean it out every 5th or so time, but I think that kind of stuff is to be expected. The only thing I don't like is that I have a hard time finding the replacement filters. I bought the vacuum at Target, but they don't carry them. I finally did a google search and found them at Best Buy. Of course, you can probably order them online without a lot of hassle, but I figured I'd save on shipping charges... the only thing that would make this vacuum better for me would be a reusable filter.

The adjustable handle makes it so easy to find a convenient storage place for it.

chebcn says "Fun for adults, too!" about Nintendo - DS Lite Console

I bought this for myself because I got into playing Animal Crossing on the Gamecube in our breakroom. If that's the kind of game you're into, the wi-fi features are so fun. Other people can visit your town, from all over the world! I also like that you can play Gameboy Advanced games, too. I find my DS is a great way to pass the time waiting for appointments or even just a change from reading or watching TV at home....
