Before you spend any money buying things this holiday season, you might find reviews at this website helpful. It also might help others if you also sign up and give your review of a product you own.
I've tried it and found the opinions to be hard to follow//first a bunch of negative then a lot or really positive...and some categories were just listed as if they got them out of the yellow pages. Not my choice for the best. Try Consumer Reports magazine and then a ratings site.
