jamon14215 says "Bounce Dryer Bar takes the worry out of forgetting dryer sheets" about Bounce Dryer Bar

jamon14215 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:38:36 GMT

The Bounce Dryer bar does help make doing the laundry easier because you don't have to worry about running out of dryer sheets. Initially, it had a pleasant fresh scent, but after a few loads of laundry, I noticed the scent became less pronounced. The dryer sheets do a better job of leaving that lasting fresh scent in your clothes. It worked great for preventing static build up in the laundry. Also, the bar seems to trap lint from the clothes, and it now looks dark and dingy. It did, however, stay attached to the drum of the dryer, even with heavy jeans and towels in the load. My overall impression is that it is a good idea, but could be improved by making the scent last as the bar shrinks, and also making it less of a lint magnet.

jamon14215 says "PureVia, not pure taste" about PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

jamon14215 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:37:35 GMT

I was curious to try PureVia because it seemed like it was more natural than the other low/no calorie sugar substitutes currently available. I had never heard of the stevia plant before, but it seemed like using a natural plant extract would be a better idea than a chemically modified substance in a lab. I liked the packaging, and first tried it straight from the packet. It was not as sweet as I thought it would be, but the aftertaste was definitely an improvement to some of the other brands I have tried.

I also used it in tea and on fresh fruit. The taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't that impressive either. It would be a good substitute for those with sugar as a dietary restriction, or who are watching their sugar intake for other reasons. It fulfills the role as a sugar substitute, and tastes similar, but not exactly like sugar.

jamon14215 says "seasonal allergy relief" about Alavert D Allergy & Sinus

jamon14215 — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:41:48 GMT

Alavert-D relieves congestion associated with seasonal allergies and colds. Works comparatively to other over the counter medications in this category. Takes a longer time than others to kick in, but does work.

jamon14215 — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:31:46 GMT

Vtech makes high quality phones, and the Dect 6.0 is no exception. It comes with 3 extra handsets with charging cradles, and the base also has a digital answering machine. No more running from room to room to pick up the phone when it rings.

jamon14215 says "does much more than toast" about Black & Decker Toast R Oven

jamon14215 — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:02:51 GMT

Black and Decker's Toast R Oven is great for baking and heating small/individual meals. It saves on turning on the regular oven for quick jobs. Works great. I especially love reheating foods that don't stay crispy heated in the microwave.

jamon14215 says "Chase visa charges victims" about Chase - Visa

jamon14215 — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:49:46 GMT

My checkbook was stolen in a home burglary while I was out of state, and I contacted Chase to let them know my checking account was closed due to the theft, and that because I was currently in a different state, I would not have immediate access to my new checking information to make the next payment on the due date. I was told that there was no way to prevent a late fee, but that I could call back after I made a payment to have the fee reversed. A few weeks later, I did as instructed, but now was told that the fee could not be reversed. I offered to supply a copy of the police report which lists the stolen account number, but they still refused to credit the late fee. I feel like I was victimized a second time by chase.

jamon14215 says "Kraft Philadelphia Spinach & Artichoke" about Kraft - Philadelphia Spinach & Artichoke Cream Cheese Spread

jamon14215 — Tue, 19 May 2009 00:34:28 GMT

I absolutely love spinach and artichoke dips, and Kraft brings that same flavor in the new Philadelphia Spinach & Artichoke cream cheese. Its great on bagels, but also good on toast, crackers, or english muffins. The flavor is not at all overpowering; its just right. I would highly recommend it.

jamon14215 says "Windex worked wonders!" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

jamon14215 — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 03:01:46 GMT

The Windex outdoor all in one cleaner works great. I never realized how dirty my windows were until I saw the shine after cleaning them. Before trying this product, outdoor window cleaning was at the bottom of my chores list. Whenever I did get to it, I basically hosed them down, or tried regular glass cleaner and paper towels from inside. The product was easy to assemble, and worked great. Needless to say, I will be cleanimg my outdoor windows more often now.

The Kodak Easy Share C913 9.2 MP digital camera is great for basic picture taking. It is very user-friendly, and takes high quality pictures. Its size makes it very portable and easy to hold. I recommend it highly for the value conscious buyer.

jamon14215 says "its "the" network" about Verizon Wireless Network

jamon14215 — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:26:24 GMT

I've been with Verizon for several years and never had any major issues. Customer service was very ammenable to resolving billing issues, and new phones are almost free when you renew with the new every two plan....

jamon14215 says "never get lost again" about Garmin - Nuvi 660

jamon14215 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:47:27 GMT

Automatically calculates routes, and re-calculates if you go off the specified route or miss a turn. You can get a route to your home from any location. The only problem I had was that initially, it only recognized odd numbers on my street, so I had to use an address that was close to mine, but was odd-numbered. I got a new model and this issue was resolved....

jamon14215 says "Computer and portable dvd player in one" about Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv6000t PC Notebook

jamon14215 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:19:48 GMT

This laptop does it all. I was going to buy a portable dvd player in addition to a new laptop, but when I saw the widescreen on it, there was no need for me to waste money on an addtional dvd palyer with smaller screen. The quality of dvd playback is exceptional, and it almost sounds like you have surround sound. The wireless capabilty makes internet surfing a breeze. Not to mention , it supports just about any type of media you have....

jamon14215 says "Reasonable wireless headset" about Jabra BT500 Wireless Headset

jamon14215 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:46:58 GMT

I loved the idea of a wireless headset that didn't stick out in front of your ear like the other bluetooth sets on the market. The body of it was larger than I expected, and it hurts my ear after wearing it for a few hours. It helps to switch the wear back and forth between ears. The sound is great on both ends of the call. Would recommend it if Jabra improves the comfort wearing it....

jamon14215 says "Great multimedia phone" about LG - VX8100 Cell Phone

jamon14215 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:27:00 GMT

When I first got the phone I didnt realize it had the capacity to do so many different tasks. It takes better pictures than some higher-resolution cameras. The video works well too, the only drawback is that you're limited to only 15 seconds of it. It has internet capability, and also plays mp3s. You can add reminders in the calendar, even two years or more into the future! And I love the voice command which I can use with my hands free headset. Great value....

jamon14215 says "This is a great first digital camera" about HP - Photosmart M447

jamon14215 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:07:31 GMT

This is a great starter camera if you've never used a digital camera before. There are intuitive buttons and easy to navigate menus. It even records video with sound. Although it is only 5 megapixels, the pictures produced are really crisp and clear. Also, its is very easy to upload pictures to your pc with the software and cable provided. If you have a memory card you can transfer the pictures directly to your computer or print them at a photo kiosk....
