Not a bad lens
on June 7, 2012
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
I have the Sony Nex-3 and wanted to get a zoom lens, I was debating between lens adapter with a longer zoom lens and this lens which I ended up buying and keeping. The feel of this lens on the camera is just right, it has a nice rubber grip with manuel focus opt. and aluminum construction which makes it very light. I took the lens for a test drive on my Alaska Cruise vacation and ended up with some nice pics, I did also use a Rocket Fish P.Filter and UV.Filter to prevent any glare on my pics and to protect it from getting scratched. The video recording with the lens was good too. Over all I think this lens is a great addition to the camera but I would of liked a longer zoom though I shouldn't complaint since there's no adapter required for added cost. I'll leave 2 pics to show 55mm zoom and max zoom 210mm.
What's great about it: Zoom, Feel, and Photo results.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice charging base.

This is a good charging base at a good price, when I was trying to find a place to put the controlers and charge them I ended up finding this charging station at Best Buy. This charger looks nice and has a red/green indicator light to tell you when your controls are ready for use but even though the lights are nice I found that they don't shut off when its done charging unless you take the controls off the charger, its kinda hard to sleep when lights are on in my case.
What's great about it: Nice station, charges fast, and easy to hook up.
What's not so great: when controls stationed on charger lights don't shut off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

On 3rd year and still running.
on January 17, 2012
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
I bought the Breville BJE200XL in 2010 and still working great, when I first purchased this juicer there was a crack in the donut shape plastic ring, but after exchanging it, I've never had an issue. This juicer is one of the best out there, its compact size doesn't take to much room. The product has a stainless steel washable screen filter which is easy to remove since its magnetic unlike other companies that you have to use a tool to remove the filter. The plastic is heavy duty and the 14,000 rpm is 2nd to none in its price range. Breville wasn't well known in the U.S when I bought this but there products are grade A and well thought out for the consumer. This item is very easy to use, extracts all the juice, and very simple to clean plus it looks fantastic.
What's great about it: Compact size, reliability, ease of use, and very easy to clean.
What's not so great: Nothing,this item is nearly perfect.

Keeping the Cold out
on November 9, 2011
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
I was in the market for a heater to replace a Vornado fan heater that only lasted one winter which I would not recommend, I also have a Bionaire heater that I've had for 4 years and still working but its a directional heater that can only cover a small room size and would recommend, so I needed something bigger and better which reading reviews online plus talking to an older gentle man which told me he had a DeLonghi radiator heater for many years kind of convince me to purchase this brand/unit. Not knowing much of radiator heaters other then replacing the oil inside and being used to heating element fan heaters and dish heaters I wasn't sure how it would perform, But let me tell you that I've had this heater for 2 winters now and still works fine, it uses oil which you don't have to refill unlike those old radiator heaters. It covers my apartment living room at a comfortable temperature and my living room gets pretty cold during winter since the insulation is bad and windows are also very thin but the heater is keeping the cold out.
Features are pretty nice on this radiator heater, it has 3 levels of drawing power for heating min,med, and max. I recommend to use the switches carefully or it will shut off so do one at a time specially if using max because it will draw to much power at once. It also has a 24hr timer which I can't figure out yet I'll have to read the manuel for that feature and it has 1-6 for temperature control.
I recommend this heater for anyone that needs a reliable heater that will be pulled out of a closet or garage during the cold season because it still working for me. The unit isn't that big and for the price you get more out of it then those fan heaters that cost about the same. Thanks DeLonghi for keeping me warm for 2 winters now and hope everyone gives this product a try this winter. Stay warm and happy holidays everyone.
What's great about it: Size, Ease of use on temperature, and Price
What's not so great: 24hr. dial is complicated but don't need it anyways.

Great Price
on November 7, 2011
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
I just bought this air purifier at the Best Buy at Northridge since I found out they had it, Its normally at $179.99 so for $99.99 I couldn't pass on that deal. The reason I bought this air purifier was because of its 2yr filter replacement, I did have the Electrolux with the oder sensor but have to replace filter every 3 mths for carbon and 6 mths for hepa and costs $80 for filter replacement, no thanks. The slim design makes it fit anywhere without taking to much space and reviews are good for its filteration, so for 99.99 everyone should get it and get it fast before they run out.
What's great about it: Price, Size, and Filters great.
What's not so great: Can't find anything wrong with it.

Found a good phone without answering machine
on October 11, 2011
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
I was looking for a phone without and answering machine and found this one, this is a replacement for my Simens phone that never failed on me and still working but needed one that had caller id large and easy enough to read. After buying this phone I found it was easy to setup and by setting one of the phones you setup all of the phones which I liked, sound quality is good though I don't get that HD quality logo because for me it didn't sound any different from another phone, funny thing the Dect 6.0 frequency actually allowed my television antenna to get a stronger reception since perhaps my Simens 2.4ghz was blocking some signals and added some channels on the tv.
The only down side to this phone is the ringer which is not loud enough for me but I can live with it. The display has a whitish blue backlight which doesn't hurt your eyes in complete darkness and the numbers light up orange which make it easy to read. I very much like the speaker phone feature on the handset. This phone met my expectations and I'm happy with my purchase.
What's great about it: Display, Placement of Buttons, Easy setup, and Sound
What's not so great: Ringer not very loud.

After hours of navigating the caves, days of questing among the elves and goblins and weeks of battling dragons and ogres, you've finally reached the lair of the great and final wizard. You slide open the heavy stone door, listening to it scrape against the cave floor and slip deftly inside before it slams shut. The room erupts in a cloud of smoke and you hear thunder rolling in from the distance. Suddenly, the wizard appears before you, his pointed hat tilted jauntily to the side, his robes sparkling and silken. He stretches out his hand and points a bony finger at you. He opens his mouth — don't you want to hear what he has to say?With the Chimaera 5.1 Wireless Gaming Headset, you can hear every syllable, every thunder clap, every whisper and every song in full, booming audio thanks to extra-large 50mm neodymium drivers and 5.1-channel Dolby® surround sound. With this headset, you'll not only hear the team captain's speech in front of you, but you'll also hear the sound of reloading behind you as a camping soldier attempts an ambush. The wireless design comes in handy when the story gets too intense and you need to take a step back, and with up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge, this headset won't leave you in silence when the party leader invites you to the next match. Use the headset with your Xbox 360 or your PC and get ready for adventures you'll have to hear to believe.

Finally Found What I'm Looking For
on October 11, 2011
Posted by: Hankzilla
from san fernando valley, ca
What can't you say of the Razer Chimaera 5.1, excellent headsets after trying other headsets I finally found what I'm looking for. So whats good about these headsets, 5.8ghz doesn't interfere with my Apple Extreme routers frequency, 50mm drivers gives it that loud sound but not surround in my opinion but does have great sound, distance while wearing the headset in my apartment was to my satisfaction, cosmetics of the headset and charging transmitter looks amazing, the headset is big but very light, padding on headset made it comfortable to wear for hours, and very easy setup. These are keepers, no reason to look for anything else or try anything new, nice build quality and not flimsy at all. I wished that they had these displayed at any store so people can actually try these on but took my chances and happy to make that choice.
What's great about it: Looks,Sound,Comfort,Features
What's not so great: Can't think of any.

Build, Sound, & Comfort for a worth it price.

Type of Listener:Audiophile
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
P5 headphones are one of the best headphones to buy, I was doing research on these and comparing to other headphones I decided to try them at the Magnolia store, I'm pleased to say that these headphone are the best headphones that I was able to try in a store and was hooked with the sound quality. I played Miles Davis Kind of Blue album and compared that same album with Monsters Miles Davis tribute headphones and have to say that it blew away those Monster headphones. If you like to hear instrumental detail with life like sound then these headphones are for you, P5 have natural bass which is great for acoustic and vocal music but will disappoint in bass type music such as Hip Hop.
Build quality is excellent, there far and above other brands which price point is not an issue with the P5. The headphone cable can be switched with designated ipod/ipad volume control/ mic cable or standerd headphone cable. They use sheep leather with steel chrome frame which has some weight to it and sit on top of your ears which in hot weather will make your ears sweat. I actually took my P5 on a 4hr flight and sitting near the jet engine but these headphones canceled out the noise which the flight attendant had to tap my shoulder to ask me if I wanted a snack since I couldn't hear a thing while wearing my P5. There not active noise canceling but the insulation that they use blocks outside noise.
To sum it up these headphone should be on everyones list to check out, with Grade A build quality, top notch detail sound, and very comfortable to wear you won't be disappointed and you will get what you payed for. Bowers & Wilkins make high quality speakers and for there first headphones it seems that anything they make will just blow away the competition.
What's great about it: Build, Sound, Comfort, & Price
What's not so great: Hot weather will make your ears sweat.
