Purchase PDVK-10 7-Inch 10-Inch In Car Portable DVD Player Case (Black)


This case was not as roomy as I had expected. It looks great & I'm sure it is a nice case, but it just wasn't able to hold all of the accessories that I wanted to keep with my DVD player. I plan on giving it as a "You Pick Em" Christmas gift this year. I know it will be one of the first gifts to be chosen because it is that nice. If you don't need a lot of room to store a portable DVD player & a few accessories, then this would be a perfect case for you. It just didn't work for me.Get more detail about PDVK-10 7-Inch 10-Inch In Car Portable DVD Player Case (Black).

Order American Red Cross Cabinet Safety Slide Lock - 3 Pack


Works great on most of our cabinets except our bathroom one because the knobs are too close together. Really like the ease of these on our frequently used cabinets. Much easier than another style we'd tried before. So far our daughter hasn't figured them out. Would be five stars from us if it fit the bathroom cabinet...Get more detail about American Red Cross Cabinet Safety Slide Lock - 3 Pack.

Shop For The Ultimate Folding Tool - Blue FlipFOLD


A friend let me borrow hers, and I had to get one. The size of the fold (9"left to right x 11" top to bottom)fits nicely in drawers, on shelves, and makes a much more organized, even stack with more room available because it also flattens them more than regular folding.

I took a drawer full of my 4-yr old's clothes which was packed up to the top, folded them with the full-size flip-fold (I bought the reg sized one), and now I have 2 beautifully organized stacks of shirts and an extra inch of height where an unorganized mess once reigned. I tried to fold everything nicely before, but it never fit (too many shirts in the drawer) and never stayed nicely folded. Now it does, and I even organized my husband's T-shirts into 3 nice stacks (light, dark, & undershirts) where only 2 big stacks used to fit and he loves it. His comment was, "Wow, this actually looks like a department store." Now I look forward to folding the laundry, instead of dreading it. Good product, it does what it says it does.Get more detail about The Ultimate Folding Tool - Blue FlipFOLD.

ZeroWater ZR-006 Replacement Filter, 4 Pack


Mid October last year, I ordered a package of 4 filters from Amazon. Few days later, the filters arrived with the box was opened and each individual filter was in opened (almost) clear no-brand plastic bag with water drops inside. At the time, I didn't return or complain to Amazon because I thought all filters were rinse and packaged that way from manufacture. Until last week, I was about to reorder the filter and found few reviews say Amazon sold used filters. I switched to order from another online store to see the different. The shipping take a bit longer than expected (1 week). But the box is in good shape and sealed with sticker. Inside the box all filers are individual put in manufacturer sealed packages. So, it seems Amazon sold me used filters at the time as well!Get more detail about ZeroWater ZR-006 Replacement Filter, 4 Pack.

Hoover 38528-033 Windtunnel Drive Belt, 2 Pack Best Quality


I had to put the second belt from this order on my vacuum cleaner yesterday...the first one broke, lasted less than 2 months! Amazing, considering I live alone without a lot of foot traffic in my house and don't have the need to vacuum more often than once a week. Actually the belts seem too tight when I replace them, although the product number is correct. Could be old rubber, could be faulty belt, could be a fluke...but I don't plan to purchase these online again. I'll go to a local vacuum cleaner shop to be able to inspect the belt before I buy it.Get more detail about Hoover 38528-033 Windtunnel Drive Belt, 2 Pack.

Bissell 2201-2 Swift Sweep Sweeper Get it now!


I bought this sweeper because I have a black cat and a light carpet and did not want to pull out the vacuum every time she sat down on the rug. She sheds constantly. The sweeper has a little plastic cover on the end of the handle which cracked by the third time I used it. It picks up the cat hair fairly well. I find I have to go over the area a few times. I think for the money spent, you can't be too picky. It does a decent job.Get more detail about Bissell 2201-2 Swift Sweep Sweeper.

Rowenta DW9080 Steamium 1800-Watt Steam Iron with 400-Hole Platinum Soleplate Buy Now


I purchased this iron in December 2008 and in January 2010 the iron just stopped heating. The iron also leaks water when its setting; was heating inconsistantly before dying altogether; cord gets twisted when ironing; and the iron is very heavy. Steam works good, but often times stains clothes because of "stuff" coming out the holes. They also have a one year warranty but you have to send it in to be repaired and pay the postage, which isn't cheap. Their customer service is awful! The company is in Germany which is probably why the customer service is so bad. I think there is major problems with the heating elements and Rowenta needs to figure out what the problem is. Stay away from this expensive $140 iron, and from all the reviews I have read, other Rowenta irons have a lot of defects as well.Get more detail about Rowenta DW9080 Steamium 1800-Watt Steam Iron with 400-Hole Platinum Soleplate.

Buying PARK N PLACE


This works reasonably well, but as stated before in a previous review, the bases are very very light and flimsy. Upon repeated use, I found these things actually moved because the base was so unstable it slid on my garage floor.

There are probably better products than this on the market, but none that are quite so basic and easy to use.Get more detail about PARK N PLACE.

Order Thermos Nissan 26-Ounce Travel Companion Stainless-Steel Insulated Bottle


I love this thermos. It really does keep my coffee hot all day. It's slimmer than I thought it would be so it fits nicely into my laptop bag yet holds enough to keep me going all day.

Where To Buy Rubbermaid FG7K3900CHILI Easy Find Lid 18-Piece Food-Storage Container Set with Lids


I am very happy with the fit and finish of these containers. They work great for storing leftovers in the fridge and for taking food to work/school. However, I reheated some chicken chili in one of them without the lid using a microwave and after washing I noticed that where top of the chili reached that the plastic was etched. Almost like pitting. Visible enough that my grand mother noticed it and you could feel it by touch. It was literally the first time I microwaved one of the containers. FYI it was less than 3 minutes in an 1100 watt GE microwave oven.

So if you're using these just for storing food, they're excellent. HOWEVER, if you want to reheat that food, beware. You should switch to glassware like pyrex or stoneware.Get more detail about Rubbermaid FG7K3900CHILI Easy Find Lid 18-Piece Food-Storage Container Set with Lids.

Shop For Snapware 18pc Glasslock Tempered Glass Storage Containers 18piece Set with Lids


I ordered these because my Pyrex is getting old and the tops are wearing out. The Snapware Glasslock arrived very quickly (with Amazon prime) and works great. Yes, the lids can be a bit difficult to close at first, but I found that they are easy to close if I draw my hand back out about a foot to the side and then hit the locking part of the lid with the base of my hand- then they close easier.

Also, now that I've had them for a few weeks, they have loosened a bit and are easier to close with my hands and fingers.

I highly recommend the Snapware Glasslock Storage Containers.Get more detail about Snapware 18pc Glasslock Tempered Glass Storage Containers 18piece Set with Lids.

Rubbermaid 4D06 Configurations 23-Inch Foldable Laundry Hamper, Natural


I ordered two of these hampers, one for each of my kid's rooms. I love how sturdy these hampers are. While they are a little heavier than the mesh ones I had been using, the construction on these will go the distance. I like that the inside of the hamper is water-resistant. (It might be considered waterproof, but I don't remember for sure and I don't want to give false information.) I have put used towels in it, and I am not concerned about mold or mildew. Of course, I live in the high desert, so those two things are not normally present here. The hamper itself holds one load of laundry for my high-capacity front load washing machine. I do have the carry the full laundry basket downstairs and through the house, but it is not too cumbersome. And it is definitely light enough for my 4 year old to carry it back upstairs. I would recommend this hamper to anyone with kids or if he/she was looking for a good hamper. I even like the colors.Get more detail about Rubbermaid 4D06 Configurations 23-Inch Foldable Laundry Hamper, Natural.

Protec WF2 Extended Life Replacement Humidifier Filter (Pack of 3) This instant


I'd like to know how long a non-extended-life pad will last. These are made with one perforated cylinder of foil (with opposing sides very poorly connected - if they are connected at all), surrounded on each side by a cylinder of perforated *paper*. I think it's just the paper that's holding the cylinder together. It will last a month if you are lucky. Don't plan on soaking it in vinegar, as it will just fall apart. I think they call this "planned obsolescence". This is obviously where they make their money, similar to ink-jet printers and their costly ink cartridges.

Lowest Price Hardwood Floor Cleaner, 1 Gal


This is the best and easiest to use product I have found. The pros recommend this product and I believe they are right. It is not worth fooling around trying to find something less expensive. Just go for the best. One reviewer said it left streaks. I have not found that to be the case on my floors and nearly everyone agrees. Perhaps that person had used some other product previously that Bona will need to remove. If you use only Bona from the start, I believe you will be very happy. Use with the Bona mop or another good mop with a microfiber pad. I would not use disposable pads.Get more detail about Hardwood Floor Cleaner, 1 Gal.

Low Price Cordless Swivel Sweeper G2


I bought this a month or so ago and have been very pleased so far. I was surprised to hear that people think it is better than their vacuums because it isn't, but it is better and easier to use than a broom and dustpan. The other great thing about it is that my kids love using it so it is easy to get them to "sweep" after dinner. The suction is decent and is great for everyday use because it cleans up debris on the floor, is really easy to store and is lightweight. For what it is, a lightweight, easy to use broom substitute, I give it 5 stars. For heavy duty sweeping, this isn't a good choice.Get more detail about Cordless Swivel Sweeper G2.

Cheapest iRobot 110 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot


I have terrazzo floors, two cats and the Dirt Dog is perfect for what I need. It's not a vacuum that can potentially blow hair and dust everywhere but a sweeper. It may not get everything in one "run", so I run it again, which is fine because it is cleaning. The only thing I don't like is that hair gets stuck in the front wheel and I haven't figured out how to get the wheel off to clean it out. Other than that I'm a happy camper!Get more detail about iRobot 110 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot.

Buy SteamFast SF-717 Home-and-Away Mini Steam Iron


If you want to pack a full-size iron, it will do a better job. But, the the designed purposes of this iron are to cut down on size and iron. The SteamFast does both well. I don't think an iron with steam could be much smaller. I also like the fact that mine came with a water measuring cup and storage bag that fit into my backpack.

It irons well and provides a decent amount of steam. Due to the size, it does not hold much water. Ironing will take a few minutes longer than with a full-size iron. I had to refill with water after about 3 to 4 shirts.

I will add that this iron does not get as hot as a regular iron does, so if you need the highest temperature settings from your home iron, then this may not meet your expectations.Get more detail about SteamFast SF-717 Home-and-Away Mini Steam Iron.

I bought three of these, two as gifts for my daughters and one for myself. NONE of them lasted very long - the bristles were cheap and easily bent out of shape and fell out after the first few weeks of use.

Even at the "bargain price" of $4.00 each, I feel like I wasted my $12!Get more detail about Lodge Cast Iron Scrubber Brush.

Norpro Butter Keeper


Folks, this is a neat little keeper. We always seemed to have an open stick of butter on the counter sitting open to the air. It was just convenient. Margarine is DEATH so we exclusively use real butter for all that we do; cooking, toast, whatever. This little keeper looks great and has the capability to hold one full stick of butter. The bottom accepts a half a cup of cold water, the top with the butter cup gets filled manually with butter and then sits upside down in the shallow water which makes it airtight and will keep just like that on the counter for a month! We really like it! We are gadget folks. The four stars is just to indicate how marvelous items are in relation to others. Not the most remarkable item in the universe, but very cool. Quality made, dishwasher safe and sturdy.Get more detail about Norpro Butter Keeper.

I have been using this product for over a year now. It works perfectly, no leaking, no mold. It is heavy when full, but not as heavy as cases of bottled water!
