saterry says "Dentist recommended!" about Sonicare FlexCare 900 Series Electric Toothbrush

saterry — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:49:38 GMT

I have been a dentist for almost twenty years, so I choose to use a lot of products before I give advice. I have used this brand of electric tooth brush for over ten years. This model is a great advance over the last model. The brush heads are less complicated (less expensive) and the sanitizer is really a nice addition to the system This brush leaves your teeth feeling very clean. It is a great tool for people who brush their teeth too hard. I recommend it to many patients for this purpose. It also is great for people who have gingivitis (or bleeding gums).

One feature that I find useful is the timer. Many people think they are brushing their teeth long enough. This brush has a simple built-in timer that times in 30 second intervals. Many dentists will tell you to brush for at least two minutes. Time yourself. You probably aren't brushing long enough. Ironically, many people are also "over-achievers" and brush too hard and too long for good health. This brush...

saterry says "Touch screen in the early edition" about LG - Dare Cell Phone

saterry — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:24:13 GMT

I got this phone from Verizon Wireless early in the touch screen days. I think it was LG's attempt to provide an answer to the popular iPhone that is only available from AT&T. The phone is set up pretty well. It takes practice to get used to using the touch screen. This phone is not ideal for someone with large fingers. If you have large "man hands" you would be better of using a phone with a true keyboard. Many of the newer phones have both a touch screen for quick use and an actual keyboard for texting. (My kids make fun of me for texting so slowly.) The one complaint I have with Verizon is how they do business with all of the extras that make your phone personal. Their business model makes them "money grubbing" greedy. One of the most popular things with the iPhone is the wide variety and availability of the apps. Many are free. Good luck finding anything free for any Verizon phone, ie wallpaper, games, ringtones, apps, etc.

One thing that I find that is most...

saterry says "Great tent but TERRIBLE customer service" about SwissGear Elite Series 3 Room Family Dome Tent

saterry — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:57:36 GMT

This is a great tent. There are two rooms and a screened porch that can become a third room. Having two (or more) people to set it up is a must. I needed a sheet for the instructions that were ruined. Customer service is horrible. I waited on hold for quite a long time, finally opted for "leave message for a return call as soon as possible". I also emailed the company at their website. They have not returned the call nor the email. I read this comment elsewhere and chose to ignore it. It needs to be repeated.

Don't neglect to seal the seems with a good tent sealer. I did not and had to mop up over 5 gallons of rain puddles after a big rainy day. My fault, I guess.

I am hoping this will be a great tent for a long time to come. It is too early to say, I got it about 1 1/2 months ago.

saterry says "Verizon's answer to the iPhone" about LG - Dare VX9700 Cell Phone

saterry — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:26:25 GMT

This is a very nice cell phone. The only problem is the touch screen buttons are a little difficult to use if you have large fingers. It's very simple if you use a pen or pencil eraser. The phone has great features. The camera is higher resolution than most camera phones. It has video also. The music player works well too. I load my own music. Verizon's are pretty costly. ...

saterry says "Inexpensive and simple." about As Seen On TV Shark Steam Mop

saterry — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:20:59 GMT

Very effective at cleaning. We have a laminate floor and this machine is great. The steam is effective and really loosens the dirt and this allows the pad to clean. Very simple to use. Works great....

saterry says "Very easy to use" about Dyson DC25 Vacuum

saterry — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:17:21 GMT

This vaccum is very easy to use. The machine moves well on all surfaces. It empties very easily. The filter cleans very easily also. This is a little pricey, but I think it is worth the price....

saterry says "Video iPod really rocks" about Apple - iPod Video White (30 GB) Media Player

saterry — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 02:13:56 GMT

The 30 GB iPod holds a ton of music. It has taken me a very long time to add my entire CD collection. It will be great to have everything on one player. I have recently added some classic short stories that I always intended to read....

saterry says "Very cool way to use iPod in car" about Harmon Kardon - Drive + Play DP1 US

saterry — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 02:06:54 GMT

This device is made to provide a more permanent way to use your iPod in your vehicle. It has the standard connector for your iPod. It works better than the usual FM modulators. The toggle wheel allows you to search for songs, artists, playlists, etc with one hand still on the steering wheel. It has a mounted display for the text that usually appears on the iPod screen. The newer version even has a color display for album art, etc. I did end up sending my Durango to the stereo installer to mount the unit. (This unit is not necessary if you have an audio input jack in your stereo.)...
