My Review After 4 Years
588999
Fits similar to Nike. After 3-4 years of wear, I am hanging them up for good. They destroyed the bend of my ankle on a 30 mile hike, and changing to a shoe instead of a boot. If you are looking for a boot, these were really great, and completely waterproof. Honestly, I blame myself for the pain I went through, the boot is a 10/10

Until I purchased this knife four years ago I could not keep a folding pocket around longer than a month.  I had tried and broken Buck knives, Gerber, Firesteel, Schrader,Leatherman, and many others, but not CRKT. I put this knive in my pocket four years ago and have put it through  a tough, mean torture test. I have cut open many food cans, through car doors and tires,  I have used it hack through 4 inch trees, as a pry bar and  a hammer, it easily cut a 1/4 in steel cable, it works as a screw driver and a shovel in a pinch, I even stabbed through a penny, genuinely trying to make it fail. Don't be fooled it still works for cutting rope, seat belts, gutting fish, gutting skinning and breaking down any animal you need to. My favorite thing to is to use it a restaurant to cut my steak. The blade stays sharp for very long periods of time and is easy to sharpen. This knife goes everywhere with me and will forever. I want to buy a new one only because I want it desert tan. It is big heavy and mean, but I don't care I love it.

I originally purchased this screen in March of 2013 so it has been nearly 3 years - I am still very pleased with it. It was much nicer then I originally expected and it has held up really well. After almost 3 years it has one very small dent in the wire mesh - a number of teenagers and several large dogs were being bumptious and it was knocked over. It is also versatile - during the summer the screen is occasionally used as a dog gate to keep creatures off beds - big dogs not teenagers. I am order another one this evening to be used primarily as a creature gate.

UPDATE: I'm disappointed. I ordered a 2nd screen because I am very pleased with the first one and it has held up well. I unpacked the new screen and saw that the welds on bottom hinges were broken. When I was repacking the screen and putting return label on the box it became apparent that the screen had been returned before and been sent to me from 'Amazon Warehouse'.

Call me crazy but I am going to try again; I like my 1st screen enough and it is perfect for my needs so that I am going to order another one. I am intending to order one that is new, undamaged, not from the discount warehouse.

More will be revealed

I bought this in the fall of 2004 and have used it daily to watch tv, dvd's, record shows on VCR, etc. It still works perfectly almost five years later. I looked the serial number up because I lost my manual and happened upon this page and after reading the reviews of people saying it's junk and quite working after a year... I felt the need to provide my experience with it. I also watch a lot of my own homemade DVD's and VCD's and I would say nine out of ten times they play great. The few fails I think were because of bad burns and not this unit's fault.

I paid $99 for it in 2004 and it has been worth every penny since.

UPDATE (1/24/2014): Maybe I just have gotten lucky, but I have now used this same machine for almost 10 years and it still works just fine. The tray gets stuck once in awhile and you have to hit the close button a couple times but it still works, and it still plays DVD's, VHS, and most burned DVD video discs. It does have problems with DVD-R but you should really use DVD+R anyways for video.

My version apparently predates the DVD burner version, so I can't comment on that newer version of this same machine.

This little sucker is alive and kicking since 2004.

As a 24 yr old trust me, I wish I read this 4 years ago!!! Some you may not want to hear but you need to

I bought this laptop in 2011. It has been through so much and is barely alive. Over the years I have used it casually, for school, for gaming, and for work. It is very slow now, like an old dying man. But it's still alive and functional. It currently has a lot of problems, but refuses to die. Any laptop that can survive this long and still functions gets 5 stars from me.

Just in case everyone wants to know what a Hide and Seek looks like after 4 years of everyday use, I have attached some pictures.

The wallet has served me well, it slimmed down my wallet by alot (my previous wallet was a Levis and it is really thick).

One small issue was that the hide and seek flap might unravel revealing the contents if you stretch the note section too much. But I just use the extra compartment to hold receipts, stamp cards etc so its not really a big deal. Seems like this issue is still present in the latest models. Another thing is that the front-most card pocket on the right is quite loose and can fit a few cards.

I feel like I should finally rate this after this thing has operated for 4 years flawlessly while being thrown around in my backpack every day. Fantastic for people on the go, and could even be used with a desktop full-time if you wanted.

Now that I have had this mouse for about 4 years, I feel like I understand every aspect of the mouse and can write a thorough review. I picked up this mouse at my local Sam's Club a while back for around 30 bucks. The things to understand about this mouse is that it is advertised to work on any surface and it DOES work on every surface. I haven't used a mouse pad in the 4 years that I've had this mouse, a definite plus. The mouse itself fits nicely into a medium sized hand, although I could see how it could be a problem for larger hands that use claw grip. The mouse is small and easily transportable. The ability to put the micro transceiver into the mouse is a very nice feature, although that part of my mouse broke after two years. I haven't had any problems with the transceiver getting too hot, or any problems of that matter at all. The chrome on the sides of the mouse does tend to peel off, and as I write this review it is almost all peeled off which is a slight annoyance. The mouse is not cheap quality by any means; its made out of a plastic/rubber mix but feels nice and solid, definitely quality material. Now for my big issue: battery life. At the beginning, the battery would last for about 2 months. I do game a bit, however not particularly seriously enough to cut down the battery life from the advertised amount down to 2 months. As time wore on the battery life got worse and worse to the point where I was changing the battery (1 double A) about every 2 weeks. The battery life is terrible, however that is probably due to the blue track technology on this mouse, both a blessing and a curse. The big question, should you buy this mouse? I have used it for 4 years and it has served me faithfully with its simple yet effective 5 button design. The forwards and backwards buttons spoiled me so much that I can't use a mouse that doesn't have them. I would definitely recommend this mouse for people on the go with laptops, maybe go with a wired mouse for desktops. As I speak the mouse is finally dying, as the left click cycle is slowing, however I cannot stress enough how well made this mouse was, lasting a full 4 years even with all the traveling I have done. This mouse has my seal of approval.

So I bought this mp3 player about 2 years ago and I still love it.  First I love how easy it is to transfer music onto the player.  I have had a few problems but some simple changes on my computer solved all of those.  I also love the volume of it.  It is perfect.  The most important part of it that I love is that it has lasted.  I am a runner (a accident prone runner).  I have literally caught my fall on the player 5-6 times.  Though there are scratched on it and some cracks in the screen, it still plays like it is new! And the scratched and cracks didn't come until I feel HARD on it (like I bruised the side of my body I fell so hard!) I love it. I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I also love the fm capabilities of it.  I would recommend this to anyone.

4 years ago I gave this pot 5 stars and loved it. My mom is nearly blind and I got it for her.  We've had the pot 4 years and it has started to leak at the bottom as described in other reviews, so I ammend my rating to 3 stars.  It was a great pot for 4 years but I have now decided to go with the Hamilton Beach one and see how long it lasts.  But in all fairness, this pot was used by my mom at least 2 times a day for 4 years.

First, I'm reviewing this in 2015 as I search for a new receiver/amp. I bought this when it came out and have been pleased with it for years. I had an HDMI issue back in 2012 (a well known issue with the capacitors on the HDMI board). I fixed that myself and it worked like a champ until now. The new problem is HDMI video noise and the occasional loss of picture entirely. I think it's time to upgrade anyway, so no sense in another repair. Otherwise, it's been a great run, and in truth, it worked for longer than I expected. I don't use the multi-zone or even the 7.1 - I bi-wire my front speakers. I probably don't use most of the features, but what I do/did use i found to work great. The setup mic, while prevalent in its class now, was a huge bonus back in the day.

I have had mine for almost 4 years now and absolutely love it!  I have converted so many tapes and it is still going strong.  A friend of mine asked where I purchased it and once I pulled up my order from 2011 - I realized I had not written a review.  Figured better later than never since it has served me so well.  So here it is...Great machine and I could not be happier!

Even though this one is an out-dated model, I think it's helpful for those who want to buy this as a second-hand unit (and Brother has been selling similar siblings too). It has been working really great for me for more than 4 years now (Got it in Amazon.com on January 2001). For me, it's a time-tested model and no major/minor issues whatsoever. I won't hesitate to buy another similar MFC model from Brother (though it's out of my price range now since I am looking for a real dirt cheap and good all-in-one second hand for my parents, which is really really hard to find).

P.S. Now I own this printer for over 13 years (as of March 2013), and it is still going strong.
