tyrell713 says "IPHOne Is The BEST" about Apple - iPhone (8 GB) Cell Phone

tyrell713 — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:20:02 GMT

The good: The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface. Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps. As an iPod, it shines.

The bad: The Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility. Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content.

The bottom line: Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player.

tyrell713 says "THE BEST" about Hewlett Packard Pavilion DV9000Z 17" Screen Laptop

tyrell713 — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:05:54 GMT

With its impressive feature set, gorgeous screen, and generous assemblage of high-end components, the HP Pavilion DV9000z packs plenty of punch for mainstream tasks and multimedia chores (including high-definition movie watching), but its 3D performance pales next to the pricier, Core 2 Duo-based competition.

Clad in a high-gloss black finish (with a subtle wave motif), the eye-catching Pavilion DV9000z would fit in just as well in a home theater as it would in a home office. Despite its desktop-hogging footprint, the 8.4-pound notebook features a surprisingly thin case for a desktop replacement. Its spacious, full-size keyboard makes typing a breeze, and we like that HP included a dedicated number pad. The notebook's extra-wide touch pad features comfortable actuation buttons, a scroll zone, and a touch-pad on/off key. Above the keyboard are a set of blue-backlit media keys, including a nifty, touch-sensitive volume control.

Perhaps the DV9000z's most impressive attribute is its 17-inch...

tyrell713 says "It Rocks" about Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum

Our family has a long and dissatisfying history with Hoover vacuum cleaners. They just don't last. Between our families, we have invested in four Hoovers that died horrible, inconvenient deaths. So when it came time for my brother to invest in a new vacuum cleaner, he decided on the Dyson DC14 Animal.

I had an opportunity to test this vacuum cleaner during our after-holiday clean-up spree. It's amazing how much mess a family of four with three guests, three cats and a guinea pig can make!

Description

The manufacturer advertises this vacuum as: "The mot powerful upright for pet hair".

The DC14 is a purple and gray upright vacuum, measuring 45" high x 14" wide x 13 3/8" deep. The actual beater bar measures 13 3/8" wide. The vacuum weighs 18 1/2 pounds. The electrical cord is just short of 35 1/2 feet long and wraps around the vacuum cleaner (it does not self-retract into the machine).

This is a bagless vacuum. It has a see-through bin where the vacuumed dirt collects. This bin can hold just......

tyrell713 says "It Is okay" about Whirlpool Duet - Washer Dryer

1. Tub size is great- very big. But I found if you filled it to capacity, even hardly soiled clothes did not get clean and things twisted majorly.
2. Great concept when designed to use little water, but does it leave your clothes clean or does it leave soap residue behind? Hmmm... maybe, maybe not! Didn't have one that was working properly to determine this.
3. Detergent/Fabric Softener Dispenser units are hard to use but you can get used to them.
4. Door is not reversible which is a problem for a lot of people. Go in wrong direction for the set up in most laundry rooms. The washer needs to go to the left of the dryer for the doors to open properly for easy transferring of wet clothes to dryer. You can use an empty laundry basket below door and slide wet clothes to dryer to get around this problem. Not the perfect solution but a solution. But for a 1000$ washer, should you have to deal with this?
5. I had problems with the washer allowing me to add another item when it said I should be......
