Copco Acadia Reusable To-Go Mug, 16-Ounce Capacity This instant


I bought this to replace the coffee mug at my desk, because I often sip my morning coffee over the course of an hour or longer, and I don't like cold coffee. The double-walled design of this cup keeps the brew warmer much longer than a regular mug; over an hour with the lid on. The lid minimizes the risk of spilling coffee on my lap or my desk. It's also easy to clean, even if I leave coffee residue in the cup over the weekend, it rinses clean with cold water on Monday morning.Get more detail about Copco Acadia Reusable To-Go Mug, 16-Ounce Capacity.

Swiffer SweeperVac Starter Kit Immediately


I love this vac. I use it with a wet swiffer or a wet cloth and with one go around the house my home is swept and mopped.

The only problem is that it has to be replaced because the battery gets weak and can not be replaced.Get more detail about Swiffer SweeperVac Starter Kit.

Eureka 4870MZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner Buy Now


I've used this vacuum twice, and it's awkwardly designed - the hose and the cord are continually getting in the way of each other. Although I didn't think the release lever felt like it would break off, it is very hard to manage - I couldn't release it with my foot - I had to bend down and push hard with my hand every time I wanted to release it. But my biggest gripe is that I can see puffs of dust that it blows out the front. I checked the bag twice, and it seems to be in place, but for a HEPA vacuum, it's generating a lot of dust. What a waste of money!Get more detail about Eureka 4870MZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner.

Low Price Bounty Paper Towels, White, Regular Roll (Case of 30)


Product itself is okay, but the packaging is not.

Updating that the March delivery just arrived and it reinforced my intense dislike of the packaging. The box is not sealed and the openings allow for easy entry of any insects, rodents, snakes, possums, scary critters, etc., that may be in the vicinity during warehousing or transit, with plenty of hiding places between the rolls of paper. I can't imagine anyone wanting items shipped in a partially open box.

Also, I find the perforated box Bounty comes in to be impossible to break down flat as it falls apart at the perforations. Since I order a great deal from Amazon, I need to be able to break down all the boxes flat and bundle them to be accepted for trash pickup. No can do with the Bounty box.Get more detail about Bounty Paper Towels, White, Regular Roll (Case of 30).

Cheapest Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug


First, this mug is absolutely functional. It insulates very well (though not quite as well as Nissan's Backpack Bottle), keeping coffee warm for a few hours no problem. It doesn't leak. The handle is comfortable and easy to use. It fits in my car's cupholders.
However, the lid is, in my opinion, simply a poor design. You have to reach down into the mouth of the thermos, pinch the lid with your thumb and forefinger, and then try to twist to unscrew it (or screw it in tightly). This is a very difficult action - you can't grab around the outside of the lid to apply any leverage; it's all finger strength to remove the lid. And keep in mind - when you put in a hot liquid, and let it cool even a little, the air inside will contract, creating a tighter seal and making the lid even harder to remove. Also, as others have mentioned, the lid is two pieces - meaning it does come apart for cleaning, but also meaning you have to take it apart for a thorough cleaning.
Overall I'm happy with the mug, but I wish they would have thought a little more about the lid!Get more detail about Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug.

Cheap Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner


This is a good vacuum. Good suction, easy to empty. Works great on floors and carpets.
But, and I'm surprised I haven't seen this in more comments, it spews dust if you want to use the detachable parts. If you want to use the wand or brush, you detach the hose from the bottom part that vacuums the floor. However, once you turn the vacuum on, you get suction in both the hose and the floor-cleaning part. And because the hose is not attached to the bottom, everything that part sucks up is shot back out from the hole in the back, covering the vacuum in dust and dirt. I've been countering that by putting a tissue in the opening, and that seems to block the barrage of dust, but I'm not terribly happy at having to do that. Seems like something that shouldn't be an issue in the first place.Get more detail about Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner.

Buying Jiffy Steamer 0601 ESTEAM Travel Steamer, Black


Don't get me wrong - I love this steamer. It's been toted all over the place and works like a charm every time. Plus, it heats up SUPER fast (less than 30 seconds) and is so easy to use.

Now for the drawbacks. The steamer essentially just a hand-held pot of boiling water with holes punched in the top. As opposed to larger 'stand' steamers where the water supply is separate from the hose and head, you can very easily tip this one over and accidentally pour hot water all over your clothes (or yourself!). Just be very careful to always hold it upright. I've been sure to never fill it up all the way as a precaution....I only needed to do that once to learn it the hard way.

I like to wrap a tea towel or thin piece of fabric (men's undershirts do quite nicely) over the head of the steamer while I'm using it. As with any steamer, there is a good bit of condensation that occurs and in case you touch the fabric you're steaming you won't accidentally get large water spots all over.

All in all, a great little steamer that gets the job done!Get more detail about Jiffy Steamer 0601 ESTEAM Travel Steamer, Black.

Buy Kirby Generation 3,4,5,6, Ultimate G and Sentria HEPA Bags PKG of 6


I ordered these because they mentioned fitting the Sentria. I just bought my Sentria 5 months ago and ran out of bags that came with the vacuum. These bags do not fit - the cardboard piece that attaches the bag to the vacuum doesn't have the top and bottom clips for attachment. It is a pain trying to buy bags for your Kirby online - I wish I had a Kirby store nearby!Get more detail about Kirby Generation 3,4,5,6, Ultimate G and Sentria HEPA Bags PKG of 6.

Where To Buy Rubbermaid 7J93 Produce Saver Square 8-Piece Set Food Storage Containers


these are amazing containers. We stopped wasting produce completely. It keeps everything fresh for so much longer then just fridge drawers or plastic bags with wet paper towels. I store everything there - berries, tomatoes, eggplants, mushrooms, broccoli.
I see people complaining it didn't work for them. The secret is - it won't make your mushy strawberries fresh and nice, but it will keep your perfect produce nearly perfect. You have to buy fresh stuff to begin with. If fruit or vegetable already started to go bad, it won't really stop it from spoiling completely. Buy fresh produce, put it inside of these containers and enjoy it day by day.Get more detail about Rubbermaid 7J93 Produce Saver Square 8-Piece Set Food Storage Containers.

Sassy Baby Disposable 200 Counts Diaper Sacks


We recently put our house on the market and the last thing I wanted was people coming into the nursery and being met by the scent of a dirty diaper pail. After trying several diaper pails, it was time for a new strategy. We decided to try the bags...they work great!!! I am very happy with them. I will admit, because we are still pretty conscious of odors with the house for sale, we take the bags with the poopy diapers outside to the trash, but the wet ones, we toss into the kitchen garbage. The bags smell great and are very sturdy. I also love the handles, they make it very easy to tie closed. I always keep some in the diaper bag for dirty diapers on the go..and they also work great for storing dirty/wet baby clothes until we get home to wash them. I will never go back to a diaper pail again...ever.Get more detail about Sassy Baby Disposable 200 Counts Diaper Sacks.

I love the steamer - makes heavy duty cleaning easy. The only complaint is that steam only comes out of outlet depending on what attachment is used. My floor steamer stop working and the floor attachment on the Mccullough isn't as user friendly.

Racor PBH-1R Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift Decide Now


I am using this to store our Peugeot tandem in the garage. The device is quite well designed and manufactured and is priced right. After seeing other reviews, I was expecting to have to replace the rope and screws. Not a thing wrong with either in the device I received. Using it for a tandem, which is much heavier than most single bikes, is an 'off-label' application, but it is up to the task. I plan to buy two more of these for our regular bikes.

PS: I almost never give anything a 5-star rating. That implies perfection.Get more detail about Racor PBH-1R Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift.

Lowest Price Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White


I say so far because I have a wet basement and our humidifier runs constantly all spring and summer. We tend to kill humidifiers and this one was purchased as a replacement for a Goldstar that died after three years.
I have been running this one now for only a few days but I can tell you that it is far quieter and removes far more water than our previous humidifiers. I have it running on high and have to open the cellar door to know if it is running. The other one we could hear upstairs with the door shut. It is also designed very nicely with a super easy hose hookup and a built in handle on the top if you need to carry it somewhere. I would agree with other reviews that it is more attractive than other models although I don't really care since it is in the basement.Get more detail about Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White.

I love this. Quick and easy install that even the "non-handyman" types (like me) can do. Makes me feel a lot better about the water I am drinking. I'm also more aware of the need to drink water, as this is a symbol of that that I can see every time I walk by faucet. Has definitely helped me to make positive changes in my life as far as keeping hydrated. :) I've also saved a lot of money on bottled water.Get more detail about Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter.

Cheapest PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser


I broke my Brita water pitcher and decided to switch to PUR because of the size, dispenser spigot and the positive reviews on Amazon.

I kept mopping it up and then realized it was leaking out of the bottom. I'm sending it back today. Very disappointed.Get more detail about PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser.

Buying Hoover UH30010COM Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister


I have always hated vacuuming. In the past I had vacuums that were too heavy and hurt my back. Then, I found the Bissell Momentum which was fairly light, but I grew to hate emptying the dirt cup (that model is bagless). This Hoover was painfully expensive, but I am really glad I bought it because I LOVE IT. It is light and it does an amazing job. My carpets look newer than ever. I was seriously contemplating replacing them before I got this vacuum. And, with it being shedding season for my cats, it is really getting a workout. It is so light that I can even vacuum my bedspread with it. And, the portable canister is very cool too. I am a bit worried that it will require frequent bag changes, but the convenience of its size still makes it worth it.Get more detail about Hoover UH30010COM Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister.

Where To Buy Hoover Elite Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum


It seems so simple. You want a vacuum cleaner that beats the rug fibers to loosen the dirt and then the motor creates suction to remove it. I didn't realize how far short the average vacuum cleaner fell until I tried the Hoover. I used to dread this chore until I got my hands on this machine. What a delightful change to have this machine to do all the work! The amount of stuff this thing pulls out of the rug is uncanny! The canister is easy to empty and the filter is easy to clean. The cord is plenty long enough, although if I had my druthers, it would be a little longer. The cord self-rewinds without jamming and it's solidly built to handle the task. The hand attachments are nicely placed, nicely designed, and nicely made. Again, the hose is long enough although I'd prefer it a little longer. You won't go wrong if you plunk your hard-earned down on this baby. Well built and dependable. It should last a long time. Good set of instructions, too. I got mine for $113.00. Later I saw it for $104.00. Free shipping if you want to wait five to nine days. (I did.) I've seen other brands with fewer features for half again that amount. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

Shop For Euro-Pro Shark S3501 Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop


Why I ever bought this mop is still a mystery to me. First, I bought a Shark vacuum cleaner and it lasted less than a year and received no cooperation from the company. After that, I bought a Shark steam iron and it lasted about 4 months and I was told to send it back for repair and then they would return it. Of course, I had to pay postage both ways and the cost of the repair or replacement. So, I tried one more time with this mop (I know, I need therapy.) and 4 uses later it stopped. After I sign off, I will look up a number for 'Shark Anonymous' in my phone book.Get more detail about Euro-Pro Shark S3501 Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop.

Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge Immediately


We are very pleased with this filter. The part that screws onto the faucet is strong metal with a metal housing surround. It is much better made than the Pur filters I have repeatedly bought over the years and doesn't leak or have an easy way to break. It is also more compact and therefore doesn't get in the way of pots when I'm washing up. There may be a slight difference in taste with this filter as opposed to the pur filters. It's a tiny difference but would say that Pur might have the edge on taste. However, I would never go back to Pur unless they stop making them so that they break after a few months.Get more detail about Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge.
