The explanation or description was vague but I took a chance on ordering the fan they had in stock for my blower and lucky me it was the right part. Thanks guys blower is back in action.

I am a former Jeeviant, back in the day when the website had a Consumer side (Ask.com and various entities) as well as the Corporate side (Dell, Toshiba, Micron, Compaq/ HP, etc.).

The website now, minus any "Editorial" staff, scores on keyword, only, extremely poorly. Link after link does not work. This is unfortunate as I started with the company over twenty years ago-- it was minuscule. It rose up the ranks. Then, with the perversion of certain monies, it, ironically, lost much of its worth,

A search engine with infinite loops and the result of getting to the point you were not supposed to get to. Wouldn`t recommend.

This is not a high caliber site for information. Nothing personal.
But always remember,
"If you read it on the internet it must be true."

Used to be 100x better years ago, nowadays just plain sucks! You are better off going with yahoo.com

It's pretty good, as compared to some other search engines I've tried. However, it can't hold a candle to Google. I've found it to be particularly lacking in terms of pictures. Google should definitely be your 1st choice.

Good site if you got a simple question... but all in all my opinion is that you can't get answers to real complex questions. If you ask you only get stupid or $#*!ty answers.

Usability and special search capabilities are clearly inferior to the Big G.
