I've met Sinar. I don't care for him, personally. But this product was fine. YES, Steve, I would take all those claims with a BIG grain of salt. It's your typical dogpile on the internet. Half of the people posting never even bought anything. If you are getting your info off of usenet, try three quarters of them!
Have YOU ever bought anything from HHI? Stick to your own experiences, that should be enough.
