Inkjet Review.......2003-05-26

I have owned many HP products and this is one of the best. The quality is excellent and the speed good. If you are looking for something more than a personal deskjet printer and need or are considering one that can be networked, this is it. The only detraction for me was the paper sizes. It's limited to legal and I was hoping to do small posters.

My Squeeky 2250PS after 4 years... (review).......2003-04-20

I bought my 2250PS from Fry's back in January 2001 and its been a reliable old mule over the past 48 months. It won't die. In our office is an HP4 Laserjet that we still use every day. Manufacture date: April 1994. It won't die either.

The bottom line: DO NOT BUY one of these unless you are prepared to own it for a LONG time. In other words, sexier, better printers will surface, but will they last as long as this Panzer tank? Probably not.

This beauty started squeeking when printing. I cleaned it though (qtips/alcohol/alcohol wipes from Walgreens) and it doesn't squeek any more. Like ALL HP printers, the rollers started pulling two sheets of paper when I tried to print on anything exotic. Cleaning the rollers fixed that too.

Definitely go to the HP site and get the latest drivers if you inherit/are stuck with this printer. Type in 2250 and click the little arrows.

The 2250 PCL driver can do amazing things -- print 4 pages on one page; the PostScript driver can also print amazingly accurate Illustrator proofs.

The printer honestly is somewhat of a workhorse. I am definitely keeping this printer until it dies or I die. My next printer however will be an Epson photo printer for printing photos. The 2250 certainly does a great job printing photos on HP paper. But it really was designed for printing Web pages and documents.

Recommendation: definitely print on good inkjet paper; don't just steal crummy copier paper from work! The 92 brightness Epson paper and the 108 brightness HP paper is beautiful. And come on, you're worth it!

Will this thing ever die? (review update #3 over the years...)

HP 2250....not the workhorse I wanted but............2002-12-12

I had used an HP IIP for at least five years and was finally to a point of each repair was at least a hundred dollars. The HP IIP is the same as you might see "Jessica Fletcher" use on "Murder She Wrote" at the beginning of the program. That was a great laser printer, a workhorse. When I decided to take the leap and purchase another, I asked the salesman for a color inkjet printer that would be yet another workhorse. The HP 2250 appears cheaper than the HP IIP, but it produces a quality copy. I find the speed to be adequate, but the only drawbacks I have concerning the printer is the cost of replacement cartridges and the unit is somewhat noisy and actually vibrates the maple table where it sits. I still would recommend this inkjet, although, if you don't need a color printer, I would opt for a less costly laser printer instead. The only advantage for me is the color copy capabilities.

Good printer if you download the drivers.......2001-12-28

This is a good printer, Quality is nice, self-aligns for those of us who can't read one of those printer alignment sheets if our lives depend on it. Some notes for good function/performance:
1. Don't use the drivers shipped with it. Connect to the HP web site and download the latest drivers.
2. Use it in PCL5 or Postscript mode. The native mode eats computer processor cycles like there is no tommorow.
3. The print quality directly affects the lifespan of the cartridges. Note that it ships with a low capacity black cartridge. Go out immediately and order the 69ml replacement and you should get several thousand pages of print on normal pages.

Not a fast printer.......2001-07-30

Advertised as printing 7 pages per minute normal color, but we only got about 3.5 in normal, printing a mostly B&W spreadsheet without graphics. Used a black ink quickly. Also (messed) up page order (possibly bad print driver software). Would not especially recommend this for a small business and there are cheaper ones just as good for a home user.

Worst possible phone.......2005-09-14

I bought this item few weeks ago. Its not worth buying. Very very bad voice quality. The only good things is the fancy lights.

Olympia Tango Phone - Cute but Poor Quality.......2005-07-19

This phone has the absolute WORST sound quality of any cordless phone I've ever used. There is static and feedback. You can even hear an echo of your own voice back through the ear piece.

On the plus side, the phone is really cool looking. The lights on it and the color are what drew me to it. I just knew that this was the phone for my daughter. I had high hopes for it as it matched my daughters new room really well. Even she doesn't like talking on it.

When an 8 year old can tell the sound quality is too bad to bother with, you know it is bad.

Customer Reviews:

these things are definitely worth the 10 bucks.......2004-12-04

I just got these. They came in like a week, and I like them so far.
I am listening to them for my first time right now, and they seem comfortable. Pretty good sound quality, but they look a little goofysince they cover your ears, but it's no biggie. Plus they're way light

I heartily recommend these

OUCH!!.......2004-08-18

Very light and decent sound, but...OWWWW! These things hurt my ears! Your ear has to be just the right size for these headphones otherwise they dig into your skull. I bought these to listen to music at my desk at work and I get headaches from the pain on my ears after about 30 minutes.

light earphones.......2004-05-13

i dont know why i bought these. oh yeah. i do, cause they were mad cheap. plus, from the reviews that i read. (the two ratings that are on every site i have looked up) i thought these looked pretty cool and i was excited that you could sleep with them on without being strangled by the cord the next morning. they really did look cheap in the box. and they were kinda hard to get on. probably cause i have 3 earrings on one side. including a cartilage. but. besides that they really are comfortable, secure, and really light. overall, these are pretty good. the bass is really quiet, but its good quality none the less. the music plays through the earphones though. maybe my music is a little to loud. but you can hear the music, even if its not on your ears.

The dream of a struggling ... music listener.......2004-03-18

After returning some really lame earbuds I got, I needed some headphones that actually stayed attached to my ears and I could preferably lay down with. Oh yeah and were cheap, poor schmucks like me need the cheap part. Anyway these are pretty darn nice for all of the above. Oh the sound is pretty good too (you know, if you care about things like sound quality or something when you buy headphones) Sadly I think my ears are a bit small with makes them sit at a somewhat strange angle but for everyone else in my family they fit nicely. So if you too are a poor schmuck who needs good comfortable sleeping headphones (and don't have smallish ears) then I highly recommend these.

So light, you won't even know it's there..........2003-10-05

I wanted a set of headphones to wear to bed, so I could fall asleep listening to music without disturbing my roommates. I've always been impressed with Panasonic's quality of product, and so I browsed for Panasonic headphones that looked like they wouldn't hurt if I lay my head down on its side while wearing the headphones. I've found that out of the headphones my friends have, the most comfortable ones were the ones that fit around and behind the ear, without the annoying over-the-head strap/band. I saw this set and thought they might just be the thing I was looking for.

I received them from amazon.com/J & R about a week after ordering, and I am extremely happy with them. The first time I held the package it came in, I thought, "No way, this feels so light. Almost cheap..." I opened the box, and I handled them, and to my surprise they felt really well made.

What made my jaw open in shock was how I felt after I put them on -- YOU CAN BARELY TELL YOU'RE WEARING THEM!! It's damn amazing how well designed they are, how unobtrusive, how COMFORTABLE. If there's one tiny, tiny, tiny complaint, it's the color of the cord (white) and also how it doesn't really hit lows as well as most headphones. It plays bass clear and wonderfully, just not as loud.

I've been using them for about 3 weeks now, slept with them on regularly, rolled around in my sleep as usual, and they've worked as perfect as they did on day one. That's a testament to their quality right there. My friend was thoroughly impressed and wants me to order him a pair as well.

Don't pass these up if you're looking for light-weight, comfortable, durable headphones. Me, I'm gonna go order a few more right now.

Customer Reviews:

Never used it.......2002-10-07

I have never used this unit but I have tried many like it. Of all of these I have found that the Franklin units are the best.

The Franklin TES-118 English/Spanish Translator is great. It has Advanced verb conjugation. The more expensive Franklin unit like DBE-1450 Spanish/English are better but the TES-118 is all most people will need.

I don't like the multi-language like the Franklin TWE-118 5 Language European Translator, because the verb conjugations are not included and the dictionaries are a bit small. But this unit is still much better others in its class.

Worthless pocket crowder.......2001-09-10

Save your money. This "dictionary" must have been compiled by experts in Sanskrit. An amazing number of common Spanish words are not included. Many words, in both languages, are mis-defined. It is so awful, that I ended up checking the results against a paper dictionary....which of course renders the electronic device useless.

What can I say good? The conjugation feature is good...IF your verb happens to be in the pitiful lexicon. I also like the test and list functions. In other words, as long as you are working inside the dictionary`s limited set and rule out the wacky occasional definition, it works fine. But, honestly, I would save my money.

Very useful tool, with some limitations........2001-05-15

This little translator (actually a dictionary with verb conjugation, has been a major tool in my learning toolbox. First, the little machine is very well built. Mine has survived abusive treatment on the workplace and in my car, and keeps going. It's been left in a hot car, dropped on pavement, and generally thrown around and it continues to work as before. The little keyboard is surprisingly easy to thumb-enter. The display is large and clear. The verb-conjugation allows you to scroll through conjugations of a verb or search by English or Spanish translation, including compound verbs. It has a 40 word list that allows you to practice. It gives you the word in the language you choose, and requires you to enter the word in the other language.

Now for the limitations. First, there is no contextual information. For example, if an English word has two Spanish meanings, the translator does not give you any information to determine which word you need. In addition, the spelling trainer does not allow you to enter accent marks or tildes, which limits it's utilization for memorization. The machine does not handle reflexive verb forms at all. In addition, the conjugator offers the verb form for "you (formal), he, she, and it" as separate entries even though they have the same conjugated form. The machine also does not allow any form of drills with conjugated verb forms.

The device does have a couple of quirks. It omits some common words, even "cat." Sometimes the -s- key functions as the -y- key in yes or no function questions. I have owned two of these (the first was destroyed by a dog after being dropped in the yard) and this problem existed on both.

In comparison to Franklin's equivilent product, I would say that the Franklin translator has far superior information but that the device is more poorly built. The Franklin translator has a rather flimsey cover. The button's are soft in operation, and you can't tell by feel if the device has accepted the keypress. The display is somewhat hard to read, but it does display far more information including examples, contextual information, and various forms of a word.

I highly recommend the Seiko translator so long as the user is aware of it's limitations. You will still have to use your dictionary to decide which option is correct for your purpose. But I love the Seiko for its small size, ease of use, and toughness. I can carry it with me on my job, and use my free time to carry out drills.

Quick, Simple, and Effective.......2001-02-19

I really like this product because in addition to being an advantage over a big, bulky, written dictionary, it's easy to use and has effective results. It not only can tell you the translation of words from spanish to english or from english to spanish but can also conjugate verbs. It gives quizzes about verb conjugation and vocabulary; it also offers quizzes for commonly used SAT words. I must stress how easy it is to use. I can't even use my sewing machine but i figured out how to work this in not even an hour!
