pepper_rancher,people tend to be a little suspicious of people who just joined Garden Web and give a link to something like booze. Maybe we're wrong. Want to start over again? I did notice you've been a busy bee since you joined,posting everywhere. vickie

Welcome to the forum. There aren't really any professional reviews out there of high end appliances. I agree with you Consumer Reports is a joke. There is also Reviewed.com but I think that's a joke also and neither of them do high end stuff. If you're looking for user reviews, though, you've found yourself in the right place. A good starting point is to do a search for discussions that have already happened here about that brand. I guarantee you pretty much every appliance brand has been mentioned at least once on this website. And of course, post a list of the appliances you want for us to give feedback on. We'll tell you if it looks good or needs work. Good luck!

Hi Matt We, too, used solarcovers.com and were extremely pleased w/ both the quick service and the quality of the product. We ordered our cover late on a Wed eve and received it on Fri of the same week! We bought the clear 16 ml (or was it 18ml?) and it works great. We went ahead and purchased a Rocky's roller the next week and have been happy w/ that, too. Our water was delivered at about 55 degrees (not the 75 as claimed) and it HURT! We just used the cover to bring the temp up as our heater had not been hooked up at that time; water shot up to 77 w/i days. Due to a few delays in the project, we had to shut down our pool in Oct so no more swimming for us for now. Feel free to check out our pics, though, at 'attempting to post joanneswimsct pics' to see what we'll use in addition to our solar cover when we get things back up and running...! joanneswimsct
