    I don\’t know if you want this as 3 separate entries, so here goes:
    I am in the market for a food processor so I looked it up. It\’s nice to be able to see right off the bat if a product is rated and how many stars it has. I would suggest using the product finder on Ciao rather than just typing in a product name. It seems like sometimes things don\’t come up if you just use the search feature. After reading the reviews it looks like the HAmilton Beadh 72600 is a good one on the cheap end and the Kitchenaid KFP750CR is a good one on the expensive end! Now I\’ll have to decide how much I want to spend!!!

    I want to get an ipod Touch..
    http://www.ciao.com/sr/q-ipod+touch

    The reviews are great..because it is hard to buy online..you really never know what you are getting and you have to trust the site you sre getting them from. I think it is a great site with great informative reviews.

    Thanks for the opportunity! Shanda

    I looked up the Nikon D60. The reviews were very useful and I think I may get this as my Christmas gift this year. =)

    I am in the market for a new laptop. I had been hearing about the new Macbook laptops and was wondering how good they were. Everyone seems to want one-a friend brought their older Ibook G4 to a meeting yesterday and I was immediately impressed. Ciao user reviews helped me to determine that I will probably be buying this product within the next couple of months. Things that helped me decide this was that it is user friendly, and even a PC person who has never used a Mac before can adapt easily to the format-a big plus in my book. Considering I have never owned a laptop, this is going to be a fun purchase and my Christmas gift to me :)

    Here is my first entry I went on ciao and looked at video cameras this is the review I read and I am pretty sure the person that reviewed it is from a different country a little hard to understand. here it is http://www.ciao.com/Canon_DC_310__Review_10045452

    I am checking out the Wii video game console! Almost every review was great! Some of the reviews I enjoyed most were the ones talking about combinging gaming and excercise make it fun! And another was talking about it bringing the family together. I would love to get this for Christmas!

    I was looking for a review on an Alpha Smart. They have the product, but no reviews for it. So, I decided to register - my username is BousMama. I am looking forward to contributing and thanks for letting us know about this opportunity and also for the giveaway….I really hope I win, that’s the camera I’ve been eyeing at the store for months!

  23. Sherry Nov 7th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    My husband is wanting to upgrade to the Apple iPod touch screen with 8gb. The review helped quite a bit by telling how much more he would gain, not only in memory, but the features as well. While he’ll have to keep it on his wish list for a little longer, my mind is relieved to know it would be a good investment.

    I just checked out the Wii reviews. We\’ve been wanting to buy one but I haven\’t really done any research on them. The reviews were mostly helpful. By reading all of them I was able to get a better overall picture of what it\’s like. I would say it was helpful!

    Entry #1: I have been looking at flat screens for a while, anything with sfor my football season! (I love my Cowboys!)… This would be great with the Sony Bravia KDL… other than the sound quality, I think I’d be thrilled.. but that is what surround sound is for anyways :)

    Good reveiw

    I read the reviews for the Ipod nano which we are considering getting for our son. I liked the reviews and I do think they are helpful. ( I realize this giveaway is likely only available in the States but if I win I will provide a US address- yay for American family members!)

    I am looking to buy a new washer soon because mine is falling apart. I am looking for a top loading model, mostly because it fits in my budget better than the front loaders (even though I would love to have one!). I found the Maytag MTW5900TW Centennial Top Load Washer and it had three great reviews. It seems that everyone who reviewed thought it was a good washer for the price and it has a 30 minute wash time and gets your clothes clean which is nice. The reviews were helpful and I will definitely look into purchasing this washer when I go shopping for one.

    My husband and I have talked loosely about getting a portable dvd playter, and I think the Panasonic DVD LS86 looks pretty nice. The reviews looks decent, so I will have to recommend this one to my hubby.

    I was considering buying “Kung Fu Panda” for my twins for Christmas. We didn’t see it at the theater, so reading the reviews through Ciao.com was very helpful! Great service! P.S. My current digital camera is about ready to die, so I really need a new one!

    Josh and I have been looking into new TV’s, you know with all of the “Going Digital” stuff about to happen. I read a little about the Philips FlatTV 32″. Both of the reviews said that it was a large, easy to read screen and the sound was great. I will keep this one in mind when we go to buy in tax season. :o)
