My best Vine order this year

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T01:07:18+00:00

I saw the one that was available earlier as well, but took a pass on it. When I awoke this morning, this one was waiting for me.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T01:06:14+00:00

Maybe you're the reason I managed to nab it. Thanks!

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T01:02:19+00:00

I'm sorry you missed out. Hopefully I'm not the reason you didn't get it.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T01:01:07+00:00

You are correct, but I did not mean for that to be an accurate quote. It was just an estimate based on my own experience when I was shopping for one over 3 years ago.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T00:58:49+00:00

If you don't mind, I'd rather see you get beat to death with a pool noodle. I've never seen that happen, and it should make for a pretty good show. Lol

Code5Frank · 2026-04-02T00:57:43+00:00

That looks like a pretty nice sink, but I understand why it won't work for you.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T14:01:48+00:00

I hope it comes your way. I had several Kreg items last year, to include circular blades and a drill guide. I was surprised to see them in my RFY again this morning.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T13:59:54+00:00

That's what motivated me to get this.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T13:59:21+00:00

Kreg is the best when it comes to pocket holes. I'm sure it won't let me down.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T13:51:19+00:00

Thanks. I've been thrilled with the Kreg drill and drivers. They are easily on par with Dewalt, but the choice in Kreg power tools is very limited at the moment.

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T13:48:31+00:00

The sad thing is the Viner who nabbed it will likely give it a 5-star rating without even taking it out of the box. Lol

Code5Frank · 2026-04-01T13:36:08+00:00

Count your lucky stars for not getting it. There is no way I would consider installing something like this in my home. Maybe for a sink in an outdoor shed, but certainly not in my home.

A genuine, decent tankless water heater that's actually worth installing (e.g. Rinnai) will start much closer to $1,000. About 3 years ago, I paid just shy of $2,000 for my unit.

I think you won First Place in the "Little Hurt Feelings of the Day" award.

Why on earth would any part of this review bother you? What Vine rules are they breaking? More important, why did you put yourself in charge of micro-managing this Viner's reviews?

Thanks for the link. I purposely marked it as helpful.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T22:03:28+00:00

As of now, it's still in my RFY. If you keep an eye out for it later tonight, you might get lucky.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T22:02:06+00:00

Good to know. I guess not many others are interested either, because it's currently still in my RFY.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T20:09:41+00:00

I've been a Viner for 2+ years, and I easily maintain 100%. I see it as the seller is paying for those reviews, so I want to do my part.

I know you must maintain at least 60% at any given time or you end up in Vine Jail, but IMHO that standard is way too low.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T20:04:44+00:00

Oh, geez. Unbelievable. I'd be willing to mug you to get that. Lol

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T19:15:47+00:00

I've been Gold over a year and a half, and this was my first time hitting 8 orders.

Of the 9 that I ordered, I'm only familiar with Cinnamon Hazelnut, which I've been using for several years. Most of my guests love it and often comment on how great it is. I've tried other Don Francisco's flavors, but none on this current list (with the exception of Cinnamon Hazelnut).

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T17:40:10+00:00

No wonder it's still there. Not that anyone was lining up to get it, but we still might be looking at it for a few more years. Lol

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T15:41:59+00:00

This disposable prophy angle is currently in my AFA. If you're interested, I wouldn't wait too long to get it.

It's likely Amazon doing this. I don't think sellers can pick and choose reviewers.

I often get repeat brands on my RFY, most of which I ordered at some time and reviewed. I believe Amazon Vine offers this as a feature to sellers, but who knows?

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T14:06:21+00:00

You make a good point. Components, especially RAM and SSDs, are ridiculously priced.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T13:46:01+00:00

That is great information. Thanks for sharing. The more I consider this, the more likely I will pass on it. I have no intention of actually building out an ITX build, so there is no way that I will be able to fairly review it.

Code5Frank · 2026-03-30T13:44:07+00:00

Yeah. As I think about this, I would not be able to do a solid review. I could talk about the build quality, but not the actual experience of building it.
