Pros: All metal parts- Sew well on any weight fabric - great stitches
Cons: heavy, needle doesn't automatically end in up position

This is a great basic machine! Outstanding quality - all metal parts typical of Bernina. Has 16 stitches to choose from. Machine is easy to use, easy to learn. I did not want a computerized machine for my basic sewing machine because I didn't want to ...

This is a review for my Garmin StreetPilot 3 GPS Deluxe. I have to admit that at the $900 price tag ...

Pros: Accurate, dependable, easy to use, easy to see, lots of cool extras.
Cons: A bit large and awkwardly shaped if portability is an issue.

My husband has an in-dash GPS unit that came standard with his car, so I'd become familiar with the technology and seen how handy it was to have a GPS. As a woman who drives alone to and from work in heavy, often detoured traffic, it was important to me ...

Pros: Great Display in Color, Long List of Useful Features, Upgradeable Memory, Portable Size, Voice Prompts
Cons: Base Maps are too General, Must pay extra to open other regions

I purchased the Garmin SteetPilot III for III reasons.
1) I own a Texas Statewide Moving Company and needed/wanted a GPSr for business purposes. Locations are now at my finger tips.
2) I go Off Road in my Jeep...

Pros: voice guidance, sensitive, color
Cons: small buttons make it a bit difficult to operate, bulky

Last March I and my family went to Sydney, Australia for the first time. I brought along my l ittle wonder eTrex Legend GPS and was very sure that I'll never get lost. I was wrong, my eTrex Legend does not have Sydney ...

Cons: speakers for phone could be better, other than that none!

Although I have had this little unit for a while now, I was recently able to use it to it's full potential the past couple of days while visiting some friends in Chicago. It helped me more than a few times trying to find my way around the North and West ...

Pros: Awesome little device
Cons: Easily removable increased risk of theft

After a few years of phone calls to my husband asking him where I was after I'd gotten myself lost going to appointments in the middle of downtown Denver or calling him to ask him to check traffic on the highway because I was frustrated at going 5 mph, ...

Cons: Lack of 120v adapter makes charging away from a car difficult, no multi-way point navigation.

The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is the second auto navigation GPS I have owned. I am pleasantly surprised as to the thought that Garmin put into the software that drives it and to the vocal navigation prompts it offers. In short, this is the best vehicle ...

Pros: the new 2610 is vastly superior to the old streetpilot III
Cons: will gut the resale value of your current unit!

You can read my review of my (now since sold on ebay) garmin streetpilot III below. I just got the new 2610 unit and it is awesome!! A major upgrade from the old unit. I got it for $799 at ecost. DO NOT buy the old streetpilot III, it is now obsolete with ...

Pros: Inexpensive compared to other in-car options, unit is very well designed
Cons: Included software is PC only and not well designed.

I've been looking for routing devices (primarily car based) for over a year now, and none have seemed quite right. Most are in the $2,000 range, and/or require professional installation. Since I lease my car, and don't want to spend that much money,...

Pros: Perfect aesthetic compliment to a 46"+ flat screen TV, 180 degree field of sound
Cons: Expensive, wouldn't call it surround sound

I finally took the plunge and purchased a YSP-1100 along with a Yamaha YST-FSW100PN last week. Two things made me pull the trigger on this vs. a 5/7.1 system: 1) having speakers around the room was not going to please the wife, and 2) ideally those ...

Pros: Very accurate, unit easy to use, good display, finds closest gas/restaurants/shopping/lodging
Cons: Expensive (though not unreasonable), can get confused, software can confuse many people

And I have found it! I was really expecting that this unit will not live up to my expectiation (read that aloud 10x fast...hehe). It may not be accurate. Maps may not be detailed. Nothing can replace my beloved link to Mapquest.com.

But,...
