Welcome to Ciao! You write very nicely and give us some good information here. Menagerie is right - its always a good idea to proofread or put your reviews through spelling/grammar checkers before you post. Small tip - the best way to get more reads and rates on your reviews is for you to read and rate other reviews on this site. by ChocolateLady

Don't forget to proofread -- the errors in your writing slow down the reader as he works out what you are trying to say. That is a very low megapixel value on the camera. by menagerie

I used to make fried rice all the time. The best thing about it is that you can use any leftover in the fridge, and it usually comes out tasting great. You used a lot more ingredients that I would have ever thought of. My hubby likes it simple: a bit of chicken, hand full of rice, touch of oil in the skillet, salt, pepper, and a couple of eggs stirred in to hold it all together. by menagerie

It was given to me at work on a printout. I did a search for the recipe on Google and found it on a few sites. Must be pretty common. by bboothe83

One piece of warning - some parts of your text ran, or were worded, very closely to other reviews found on the web. It happens. There's just so many ways to say some things, but take care to make sure these are all your words. by menagerie

I liked the descriptions you gave, for me I found out what I needed to make a purchase or decision on whether to buy it or not. Thanks by schellsr

What you wrote was a string of words, which after the 2nd line, stopped making any sense. Listing attributes does not make a review, and it is brain dulling. The reader can get a lot of this same info from the advertisement on the box. Please don't say words such as "suck". From the tone of your piece, I think you can develop a very useful review, but you need to take your time, weave your personal experience and the attributes together, stay away from techno-terms in the body of the piece and show the readers specifically why you like this GPS. by menagerie

Whammy Pedal is the right pedal on the Wireless Pedal Controller that, in this case, comes included with the set (I purchased my pedal as a separate unit). As to what it is supposed to do, it is supposed to replace having to use the whammy bar on the guitar controller (Guitar Hero guitars have a whammy bar under the strum bar on the guitar itself...I am not sure if this guitar controller has one on-board as the review states that I was commenting on the pedal itself and it was purchased as a stand-alone, but made by the same company as this set.). I apologize for the "bad" review. I posted this same review on Best Buy's website where I purchased the pedal and it seemed more than adequate explanation in comparison to other reviews on this product. I leave the explanations of the actual product and what it's supposed to do to the manufacturer and post my review based on my experience. I expect potential buyers to do research on the product in question by visiting the manufacturer's website in addition to reading reviews. I don't feel I used any "lingo" outside what the manufacturer used in their descriptions of the product. I'm sorry you were not able to understand my review. by Traeonna

First of all, "then the whammy pedal stopped working", what is the whammy pedal and what is it supposed to do? I felt like I was walking in on the middle of a conversation here. You have to anticipate your reader's concerns and not everyone will be a gamer. My daughter and her boyfriend have Guitar Hero II & III. I bought her games and researched the game before I agreed to purchase it. That makes me a purchaser, but it doesn't make me a gamer who knows all the lingo that goes with the games and accessories. You have to be aware that people like me will be reading a game review, and you have to anticipate our questions. What did you look for before you bought this guitar and pedal thingy? Show us. by menagerie

I appreciate your incorporation of personal experience into this report, but it is greatly lacking. Your wording is confusing, you backtrack and there is not enough information to give me a good "feel" about this cleaner. You have several long, overloaded, run-on sentences that tend to tire the eyes. There are so many gaps that need to be filled in. I am very interested in the water and soap. Is the process messy going in and emptying? How hot is the water suppose to get, and have you had that checked? Is there a warranty on the machine? How heavy is "heavy"? What about the attachments? What are they for? Is it easy to maneuver across the floor? Can it do carpets and wood and tile? There are a lot of areas that could help show us what this cleaner can do both on the features you like and the features that frustrate you. by menagerie

My first impression was that either you were brainstorming or you were muttering like my husband does. You did say that it was an air conditioner, but not which one. You told us you were happy with the product and then proceeded to explain a little about what you didn't like. Why did you buy this particular machine in the first place? What did you like about it originally? What did you look for when you knew you needed an air conditioner? Show us how you made the decision and how it has worked out for you. by menagerie

I didn't get much from your review. You should mention the name of the product so the reader doesn't have to go back and double check. Also there are so many things you could expand on. Was it easy to install? Or is it portable? How many settings does it have? Why did you purchase this one in particular? I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just trying to help you write reviews that will get you better ratings and that's what makes the pennies add up. Keep trying. It gets easier! Be sure to read and rate other's reviews. We're all in this together! by SimpIyCrazy

One more thing. I just looked at your title and was stopped. What do you mean by "beautifully graphic"? I couldn't figure it out. My first impression was graphic photos, but I know you aren't going in that direction. Secondly I thought of graphic novels (comic books). You're going to have to let me in on that one. When you are writing for the public, it is your responsibility to anticipate the needs/questions of your audience. Basically, remember that not everyone has your experience, so you may have to let us in on your secrets. by menagerie

OK, I'm lazy. I don't look at the photo or the marketing descriptor until after I've read the review. I expect for the review to have it all. I did learn that you were reporting on a laptop, but I never knew which one. The attributes that followed were generic. I could have put the name and model of any laptop in the title and have come up with an appropriate review. What makes this one different? Why did you buy this one and not one of the many other ones available? It is important to connect with your audience, and you started out in good shape, but then started listing the attributes, and listing is not a review. You need to show us your machine by weaving your personal experience in with the description of the enjoyable and frustrating features. Open this piece up and show us a picture, through your words, of this laptop you apparently enjoy using. by menagerie

HP 6720s
by asnder865

The sound quality was good on both ends with interference only when radio is really loud. The ear piece felt strange at first, but actually works surprisingly well. The unit is incredibly small and unobtrusive. Because of its size, it weighs almost nothing and doesn't weigh down your ear. Overall, this headset is well worth the money and I would recommend it.

My family decided to go for a new kitchen appliance this time for the bonus amount I received from my employer. I happened to buy this KitchenAid KEBS277S 27" Double Electric Wall Oven. Its user friendly features and self cleaning feature attracted my wife. Well designed oven with Heat True Convection System in Upper Oven and Temperature Probe is an added advantage which made me to go for this product. First day result of its use in our kitchen was superb. Its a good product which is very much userfriendly.
