“Great radio show, great website”

Chris S.
2/4/22

Love the weekly shows and podcasts. Fun and actually pertinent. The website has been useful for me in finding apps and internet opportunities. She vets everything she posts so if you go THROUGH her site on links, you have a higher degree of reliable and trustworthy resources.

“Rosin printer”

Based on Kim Komando's recommendation I purchased an ET series Eason printer from Best Buy with extended warranty. Never worked properly, returned it, never worked properly, returned it, upgraded to a more expensive model, it never worked properly. Called Epson who says it's out of warranty. What a piece of trash these have been. Thanks Kim.

KimKamando used to be my go to source for independent advice. Her site offered a wealth of free software alternatives. Now, however, FREE software is no longer adequate. Instead, we are instructed to buy products from he sponsors.
Fortunately their are multiple sites which don't have such a strong conflict of interest.

Ordered in March 2022 thinking I would have my item in time to enjoy for the summer and here it is July and all I have are excuses and untruths that my item has been shipped. So very disappointed in the business and will never use again, at this point I want my monies returned!

Tip for consumers:
Don't!

Products used:
Nothing as I have nit received.

A paid shill who goes out of her way to disparage some sites so others (who pay her) flourish. The might dollar at work

The emails are heavily laden in advertising, and you don't actually get any info from the emails -- everything is a link, so you have to click through (not usually recommended) to find anything of value. AND, that's OK if you could trust the advertisers. After all, this is KIM, the "Digital Goddess" so I expect that she is careful not to send us, her loyal follower, any junk. Well, in the same email where she hawks her "Best of the Web" newsletter (not specified as a newsletter until you click the link) wherein she states, "The internet is full of junk. We find the good stuff for you,..." she includes an ad that reads, "How this grandma turned her dusty house into a fresh air paradise without lifting a finger." A click on that ad takes you to a webpage telling the heart-touching story of this elderly lady who found NatureFresh, a product supposedly made of bamboo charcoal that removes not only air-borne toxins, but the DUST from your house, all in an instant. (Yeah, right!) These are little burlap bags of charcoal that you just set down in your house, and like magic, your house is a clean fresh-air paradise. The page has ten 5-star reviews, complete with reviewer photos, telling how magical this stuff is. (Fine print: the photos are those of models.) A quick search for "NatureFresh" brings you an abundance of reviews stating the product never shipped, people received only partial shipments, or the product didn't work and they couldn't find recourse. That's no surprise to me, but I'm a scientist and rather savvy to internet crap. Lots of elderly and kind human beings were ripped off...

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! A few minutes later, what did I get in my email? (I use Incognito mode and Duck Duck Go for searching.) I had an email from PayPal offering me 10% off on any order for NatureFresh products.

SERIOUSLY, KIM?! Not only do you advertise 100% crap products, you allow advertising from companies that reach into your email with even more hard-core advertising tactics. I wonder how much she gets for every click? I can guarantee you this much -- she doesn't NEED the money!

Been trying since July to cancel my subscription. No response no matter what I use. Phone? No oe answers because of covid. Email to support, no response, contact form on website> no response. Tried to contact company 10 days before my first month was up, no resoonse got charged Aug anoher 4.99. Cars company got me a refund. In Sept another 4.99 charge, tried contacting them again all three ways no response, card company got me a refund. Now it is Oct and I have been charged AGAIN 4.99. Still no response. Tried to complain to BBB in Phoenix but they are not a member. Will have to contact card company again. This is now four months and should not be this much trouble to cancel a subscription. Oh and the reason I canceled was because I never got any response to my questions in July my router was hacked. Got no help and now can't get rid of the monthly charge. SOMEONE READ THIS AND CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION PLEASE

Perhaps none of you will see this. But, I was not very Pleased of the misleading info and was on hold for over 30 minutes. Monica, answered the phone and I informed her that I had served in the Armed Forces, She was happy to advise me they love their Armed Forces service people. I told her I had read an Article concerning a Hidden sound setting on the TV which will improve the Sound. That I had invented a Device to help improve the Sound of the Majority of TV's in use today. She informed my that I could not mention the product unless Kim asked me what it was!. I informed her I did not have to mention the Product name but rather that it is a Sound Bar Alternative a TV Sound Reflector. She said ok there is one call ahead of you. For Over 30 minutes I held on the Line to tell my Story. Then Andrew came on the Line and said Sorry there are to Many Calls ahead of you and we don't have time for you and it does not fit the Topic discussion. You Invented a Sound Bar Right. I said No a Sound Bar Alternative. Talk about leaving a Soldier behind, not to mention misleading. I hung up and thought about it and thought a while, if this is true what Andrew said then If I were to call back the Line should ring busy. Well guess what, Andrew pick up the line and I ask to speak concerning the topic of The sound, He claimed they felt all I wanted to do was sell the Product. I asked since he mentioned about the Topic how would one know when to call to be on the right Topic discussion, he then claimed that, topic did not matter on a Open call. I just started following this Show and I am now never going to follow anything concerning this Show. Thumbs down on how you handled this. Lets see if you will allow this Post
