Alright we're gonna need some guidelines..

215 Upvotes

First, if you want opinions on a product you are looking to purchase, start your post with:

  • [Thoughts On..] or [Request] "product"

EDIT: Idea from Spronto_Pronto..If the product is deemed as good or bad, the OP will then post at the top of their post, Crap, Average, or Good.

Also if it is NSFW, please tag it as. Fleshlights, come on guys, obviously NSFW.

When posting, ask exactly what you want to know.. as poundingbassline has said. > If you are asking for an item to be reviewed, try not to be too cryptic I suggest. Be specific about what you want to know. For example.

Title: Thoughts on Sony Ericsson Cedar.

Content: I'm thinking of buying the Sony Ericsson Cedar: What is the battery life like? Does it have good memory? Does it have a good camera?

If you don't ask the questions you won't necessarily get the answers. Information is free and useful so be generous when sharing it here. This isn't a rule but a way that the reviews here could be very useful to you as you will learn/can learn the specifics to the item you want to purchase.

  • Suggestion: [alternative]

Sometimes I have a product that I am dissatisfied with, and would like to know about products of the same type that are better. Maybe this falls under the umbrella of a [request], as in

[request] alternative to Windex

But still, maybe it would have a niche.

Suggested use:

[alternative] Anything better than Windex for cleaning windows?

What do you kindle owners think of the reader? Is it easy to transfer files to the device? How easy is it to review RSS feeds on it? How does it hold up to its competitors (nook, kobo)?

Thank you, ReviewThis!

This doesn't need upvotes - I just wanted to say thank you to all the reviewers and mods in this new subreddit. It's brilliant and has been very helpful in helping me decide on some purchases I've been pondering for awhile. Yeah, amazon and newegg have review areas, but I trust this more. So...thanks!

Whitestrips

70 Upvotes

I really lack knowledge on them. My teeth are pretty yellow due to taking bad care of them up until a few years ago, so I've considered them. But I don't think I know anyone who uses them. I also don't trust online reviews since some are paid to post good ones for the company, and I feel that is less likely to happen here due to the recency of this subreddit. Anyone have experience with these? What kind of whitestrips? Any info is helpful.

I'm being put on Adderall, what can I expect?

69 Upvotes

My doc is about to put me on Adderall. My fiance let me try one of hers which is half what the doc is about to put me on. I don't know about these things, but the doc said she's going to puit me on 10's 3x a day ...I took one of the fiance's "5"'s and I'm still not right. This was 2 days ago! Should I break them up or what?

*EDIT1: Today is my first day starting them. I'll give an update as it goes along so others who are curious can know what to expect. So as of right now 7AM I'm beginning. *EDIT2: 7:20AM for science: blood pressure - 152/109 pulse - 84 -- no obvious effects yet other than being nervous and anxious. I have my drink handy, am ready for work. *EDIT3: 8:53AM BP - 148/99 pulse - 90: only thing I'm noticing so far is a little more energy. *EDIT4: 11AM - 154/100 pule - 83: extra energy still, not sure about focus, maybe a little more distracted. *EDIT5: 2:55PM - 151/105 - pulse 95: have tapered down a lot by now, just took another to finish my work day *EDIT6: 1027PM - OK it's the end of the day, and I'm pretty tired. so the ones I got seem to last 4-5 hours or so, and I didn't experience much cotton mouth, and none of the appetite loss, although that may still be in the mail. Overall I'd say it does increase my energy and mood, but I need to find a way to focus my energies. As of now my energy level goes up, so I'm easily distracted from what I need to do to what I want to do, but I think that's more discipline than anything. So I'd say good first day, and I'm going to keep having cold water nearby. Found that I drink more of it, which is a good thing either way. Thanks to everyone for their advice, really!

[Review] Net10 is crap. (0/10)

50 Upvotes

Time owned: 10 months

Frequency used: Rarely

I have a Samsung cell phone, and I pay Net10 for service. Last evening I had to make an emergency call to my father. I haven't used my cell phone in months, so I went ahead and went to Net10's website to pay $20 for 200 minutes and 60 days of service. The website wouldn't take my payment. It kept giving me an error message. So I decide to pay over the phone. The cheapest plan offered here was $30 for 300 minutes. I was desperate, so I just paid for it. It accepted my money, and I never got my minutes. The entire process is supposed to take up to an hour, but it's been over twelve hours and I still have no service. I sent a complaint to Net10's technical support, and I never got an email back. I registered for Net10's support forum, and I never got my activation email. Net10 sucks. They took my money and didn't give me service.

Final score: 0/10

Verdict: Terrible

Chefmate Model TS-16 Toaster Finally Reviewed

44 Upvotes

The Chefmate Model TS-16 undoubtedly deserves its reputation as the industry standard entry level toaster. Chefs will likely be taken aback that it may be purchased at Target for the too-good-to-be-true $6.95. But what it lacks in cost, it certainly doesn't lack in styling. The attractive beige and streamlined handle evoke the sleek lines of an Air France Concorde. Orange splotches of melted wheat bread bag decorate my particular model. The lowest of its nine toasting settings easily turned my bread slice into its constituent carbon while the highest left my kitchen with an appealing blackening. Should you cave to your appetite and cancel the operation, be prepared, as the manual indicates, to wait "up to a minute." (well within acceptable toaster response tolerances.) However, if you can show the stiff upper lip typical of toast enthusiasts, your smoke detector should soon indicate it’s ready. BEEEEEEEP Enjoy!

I have difficulty sleeping, and it's often because none of the pillow I own are particularly comfortable. I was wondering if anyone had an experience with a decent pillow for sleeping? Price is not an issue. Thanks!

Dyson Air Blade?

I have always been curious about the Dyson Air Multiplier fans that were introduced recently. I've seen them in various stores, but the display models never seem to work. So, has anyone here shelled out some serious cash to get rid of all that "buffeting"?

[Request] Good headphones to sleep in

FOUND

I find it impossible to fall asleep without listening to music, but I live with my SO and can't play music over my speakers. I sleep on my big Sennheisser HD555s are kinda uncomfortable to sleep in (not to mention I'm afraid I'll break them in my sleep).

Unfortunately, I need wired. I have a couple of bluetooth headphones but I'm using an iPod classic to sleep to.

[Review] Rain-X

27 Upvotes

I can highly recommend Rain-X. I started using it because I found an old bottle my dad had purchased in the 90s, and gave it a try. Even after all that time, water FLIES...like no kidding it FLIES off my windshield while driving.
At any speed over 35, it is totally pointless to use windshield wipers. In those super-torrential downpours that usually make you have to slow down, water just slides off the windshield. Up to the point where you can't see through the falling rain, Rain-X works better with more water.
It has a similar effect on mirrors and headlights, and makes bugs/bird poops less likely to stick. I haven't had much experience with it in frost/snow. On of the product's few weak points is that a fine mist (like the kind thrown off by a large truck or lorry on wet asphalt) doesn't fly off like rain drops do. Also, it gradually loses its effect over the course of about 6 weeks, so that you need to reapply it monthly to have the full effect.

I have not tried the wipers that apply Rain-X, and have heard that using the washer fluid version is bad for the fluid pump, so I haven't tried that either.

I know I could go out an buy a shot, but I wondered about your collective perspective as I am always skeptical with things that have "vitamins and amino acids". It is mostly placebo? Do you notice a difference? Is it better than coffee?

[Request] A wristwatch that is stylish and modern (pref. analog), but which is also relatively small and not "bulky" on the wrist.

I've been looking for a good, stylish, modern wristwatch for awhile now, and all of the good ones I've come across look really bulky on your wrist.

Can someone recommend me a good wristwatch (preferably analog and silver/black as opposed to gold)? Thanks!
