Spend your cash on something else!

Reviewer Comments: I could have taken a few $20 bills and just threw them into the wind, and at least I wouldn’t have had the aggravation of this annoying printer! Never again. This was my first Brother purchase and it will definitely be the last.

After only 3 weeks of use, I get a constant error message that prevents me from printing. The only fix is to take out the ink cartridge and drum, move a lever several times, wipe it down with a lint free cloth, and then put it back in the machine. That will allow me to print two more pages, and then the error message will appear again.

I have checked on-line and have found numerous complaints about this. Some people have replaced the toner cartridge, only to find the problem persists.

Oh, and just incase you are wondering, you can buy 2 of these lousy printers on sale at Staples for the price of 1 replacement toner cartridge! Yikes!

Buy it only to keep the set complete…

Reviewer Comments: I bought the 2 disc set — without ever having seen the film first. This is something I usually reserve for films from directors and producers that I’m willing to bank on.

George Lukas wanted to make a B-movie rather than to return to the Republic Pictures look of the adventure serials. On THAT he succeeded.

The FX were very weak, the plot was inane, and the acting was only fair. The errors in time and place and facts were almost laughable, if they weren’t made seriously! Even Harrison Ford actually looked bored in this film.

Steven Spielberg did himself no favors with this turkey — he should have backed out of this one after reading the shooting script!

I’m an achivist and a collector of over 16,000 superb DVDs from 1917 to the present, and this is the worst buy that I’ve ever made.

If you bought this film on DVD as I did, return it and ask for your money back!

A Useless Piece of Junk - DO NOT BUY!!!

Reviewer Comments: This is the worst product I have purchased in my 56 years on this planet. The product hardware was absolute garbage, the description was flat out false and even the dimensions listed were incorrect to the point that this unit is useless to me.First, the hardware was junk. I have assembled numerous units with similar hardware in the past and have had no problems. The cams which came with this unit cracked and broke when tightened. I had to go to [...] and buy corner brackets and metal angles to assemble the unit. Secondly, the description says “solid hardwood construction with top-quality veneers”. The sides and shelves are made off pressed sawdust with some kind of laminate over the top. So much for truth in advertising. And lastly,after all of the extra effort and hardware which I purchased, none of my audio equipment fits inside this horrible excuse for an audio cabinet. The Overall dimensions are listed at: 60″ H x 24″ W x 18″ D. This would be fine as most audio receivers, amplifiers, etc are 17″ wide x 15″ deep. But the actual inside space for equipment is only 16″ W x 14″ D. Nothing fits in thispiece of junk and I now have a [$] book case. Whoever designed this piece is a moron and whoever purchases it is a fool. Absolute junk!!!

OW OW OW OW OW

Reviewer Comments: I used this once before to remove the hair on my upper lip. I left in on the full ten minutes and the result was successful removal of the air AND a layer of skin. Much pain for days plus scabbing. After four months I tried again for half the time. My lip is scorched even with an application of pure aloe. I highly recommend trying this first on a tiny area for 2 or 3 minutes and waiting the 24hrs. which of course I didn’t. As for me, Nair and I will have to part company.

XPORT Flatbed 2-Bike Hitch Rack by XPORT

Reviewer Comments: I purchased this rack to transport two full suspension bikes with a Jeep Liberty.

The quality of the rack itself seemed sufficient, however it gave the definition of “hitch wobble” new meaning. I have a two inch hitch on the Jeep and this product is considered “compatible”. However the rack utilizes a durable plastic adapter/sheath to enlarge it to fit ‘2. Unfortunately, it fits loosely in the sheath which results in a frightening game of “Which turn or bump will result in a yard sale of $4,000 worth of bike parts all over the highway?” The product never failed, but the thought that it might never left my mind the entire trip.

Additionally, the hitch does not extend far enough out from the rear of the Jeep to clear a spare tire (this is a common problem for MOST hitches).

I liked the product for its simplicity in set up and storage. However, I do not recommend this product to anyone with:
• a ‘2 hitch,
• a spare tire,
• a need to secure the bikes,
• or a faint heart.

Curiosity killed the cat

Reviewer Comments: A lot of people gave good reviews on this Duo Eye Shadow Cream that’s why I was tempted to try it.I have tried different eye shadows but this Duo Eye Shadow cream was the WORST….Its very greasy, it’s gooey, the color fades and it even smudges and to top it off it CREASES MAJORLY few minutes(less than 30 mins!) after applying.
Don’t be a victim!!!Put your [$] on more worthy products.

Yankee Stadium Seat Numbering System

Reviewer Comments: I have never seen such a goofy seat numbering system in all my life. When you buy 2 tickets in section 610, row A, seats 5 and 6, you would think that the two seats would be next to each other, right??? Well they’re not! One seat is directly behind the other! Yankee stadium has two rows per letter! Hence there is one row A with seats 1 through 5, and directly behind there is another row A with seats 6 through 10. So seats 5 and 6 are in different rows! [...] Who dreamed up this seating system, George Castanza?

If only the radio worked!!

Reviewer Comments: I THOUGHT I had found the perfect alarm clock when I bought this on Wednesday. Nice slim stylish design, sound is decent for the small speakers, plays my iPod, pleasant soothing nature sounds to fall asleep, relax around the house or wake up to, the light on the clock is a cool blue and can be dimmed or even turned off completely, and even the basic alarm beep is gentle and not jarring like most alarms.

UNFORTUNATELY however, the RADIO reception leaves a LOT to be desired. I took the first unit back today and exchanged it for a new one, but this one is just as bad. It will pick up a station fine, and then if I touch the unit or even walk around the room it will develop not only static, but horrible feedback noises that are INTOLERABLE. The first one I bought was worse - when trying to tune in a station, I got really weak signals and then another station’s music playing loudly over the top of the station I had actually selected - in fact, it played the same music over the top of every single station, so it was basically untunable.

I’m really sad because otherwise it’s a great little unit. I don’t understand why after 100 years it is so hard to make a basic radio that just WORKS! It’s like the fancy cell phones that take photos, send email, etc. but the actual phone reception and sound is lousy. I guess some people don’t care about a radio if they can play their iPod, but if you’re going to include a feature on a product, just make it work for crying out loud! I was even thinking of trying out the iSound Spa Max model, but I just read some reviews on here that the radio reception is just as horrible on those models, too. Arrrghh!

I’m thinking at this point I will keep it, but I am really frustrated that I have to sacrifice the radio functionality just to have the other features that I like.

What a waste of money….

Reviewer Comments: I feel compelled to write this review especially after reading so many POSITIVE reviews for this toy. There are several reasons why I believe it is a waste of money, but will try and keep it to a few main reasons why I think the box/instructions mislead the buyer into thinking that this toy is fun and easy.

First off, if you enjoy charging your toys repeatedbly each time you want to play with them, then this is for you. The manual says, “charge for a minimum of 20 minutes with a charge lasting approximately 7 minutes of fly time”…yes, 7 minutes. Next, it says it can fly easily in small spaces - this is absurdly false. I don’t know what their definition of a ’small space’ is, but if it isn’t in a room 20×20 without furniture, then forget about it. Now, if they mean fly it in small spaces for less than 2 seconds of fly time before it crashes, then this would qualify I suppose. The fact of the matter is, this toy can’t just ‘hover’ which I thought it might since it bosted it flys just like a dragonfly. Nope, if you don’t clear a long runway before you launch it, expect it to crash within a couple of seconds, pick it back up, and repeat….this was very frustrating and quite honestly, no fun at all.

We then proceeded to take it outside to test it out. Ha! If you have ANY wind > 3 or 4 mph, then expect the wind to take it and do whatever it wants to do with it - it simply isn’t heavy enough or powerful enough to overtake the wind.

All of these positive reviews must be coming from people associated with building/inventing it.
