jpalmerbean says "Could be SOOO much better" about Iomega - Screen Play Pro HD

We bought this home multimedia player to work together with out Network Storage we had just recently gotten. We wanted to use this instead of every time when we want to watch a movie having to turn on one of our computers to access all our files on the network. Well, unfortunately for some reason the Iomega doesn't see anything else on the network unless you turn on everything at the same time (usually the network storage is always on). So we have to turn on a server that does routing in order for it to even work! Then when we finally can see the network storage, in order to access it you need to type a username and password. That is normal. What is not normal is that you can not save the username and password and therefore have to type it in every single time you turn the thing on!! Talk about frustrating! There has also been no firmware updates to correct any of these problems and support for the product sucks!!! It would have been better if we had bought one of those little dells (same...

jpalmerbean says "Top Notch" about Life Fitness CT9500HRR Crosstrainer

This is the best of the best. I've used several different brands of elliptical machines and Life fitness are really the cream of the crop. Some elliptical machines when you get on them feel cheap or are so difficult you can't even get started. Life fitness machines are sturdy, don't feel cheap and you can set your level so if you don't feel like going all out you still can get a good workout. The different levels and different exercise plans, fat burn, cardio, etc gives you many choices. What I also find great is if you have a heart transmitter it displays on the screen, or you can just use the grips. There are some elliptical machines that don't work the arms. CT95000HRR works both the arms and legs for a total body workout. Even if you don't buy this particular model. I wouldn't buy any other kind of machine except Life Fitness. It really just is the best elliptical machine on the market and all the gyms have them!

jpalmerbean says "Smells good, looks good, feels good" about Pantene AntiDandruff shampoo and conditioner

My husband has problems with his hair. He was using a Nivea shampoo when I first met him he had TONS of dandruff and if he scratched it it was red and blotchy afterwards. I, for quite a few years now, have always used Pantene-just the normal one. It makes my hair softer, shinier. I just like the way it feels. I bought him the shampoo and conditioner all in one with antidandruff and the difference is amazing. His hair went from stiff and hard to soft. (it's not as soft as mine, but... :))

Recently, we found an old, still unused bottle of the Nivea shampoo. He decided that he would use that up, just so it wouldn't sit around anymore. He used it for a couple days and he noticed it kept itching on one spot on his head. I looked at it and sure enough the blotchy redness was back with skin around it. The next couple of nights he stopped using the Nivea and started using the Pantene and after about 4 to 5 days the red blochiness was gone! Needless to say we threw the Nivea bottle out and will...
