Magic Bullet
I really wanted to love my Magic Bullet. And I did when it worked. I have bought about three of them in the last three years. They are amazing and easy. They just do not have a very long life. I used up one in a year and at …
Shark Ninja Master Prep Chopper QB900
I watch infomercials like it’s going out of style and it was like a gift from the gods when they opened up an As Seen on TV store in one of the malls near me. I was in heaven, literally, but my pocketbook probably wouldn’t agree. I don’t even …
Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges
I have been using Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges for a very long time and I have not had any issues with them. These sponges are sold in most retail stores and I normally pay about 14 dollars for a pack of 15. I believe …
Grant’s Kills Ants
There seems to be a terrible ant problem this year. They are always around, but this year I’ve heard more people complain about them than usual. After trying a lot of products that promise to eradicate ants, but do not do as well as expected, I finally …
Perfect Brownies Pan Set
I am always on the look out for gadgets and products that make kitchen tasks easier, less time consuming, or provide better quality results. The Perfect Brownie pan set manages to accomplish all three and hey, who can resist brownies!
The Perfect Brownie consists of a pan, a metal …
US Spring mattress
I was able to shop for a comfortable mattress at an affordable price. I like the mattress because of the comfort it provides as it is not so soft or hard. The spring is very comfortable and does not poke the …
WarmWave Oscilating Heater
I live in the Southern part of the United States where the weather tends to become very chilly during the winter weather season. Even though I was looking to purchase a new space heater, I did not want to spend a lot of money on purchasing a unit …
Suncast GH1732 Outdoor Hideaway Trash Can
I purchased this trash can to be used outside in my yard and I really love it. I really love the look of this thing because it blends in very well and it really doesn’t look like a garbage can which certainly improves the look of my yard. …
Minwax High Gloss Hardwood Floor Restorer
My hardwood floors were very scratched with several scuffs and marks so I decided to give this product a try. At the time I had tried several others that didn’t work as well as I expected. I have been very pleased with the results that I received …
SunLight Dishwashing liquid
It is getting harder to find my favorite dish washing/stain remover, SunLight dish washing Liquid. It has great cleaning properties and is the absolutely best for getting food, lipstick, etc out of clothes before washing. I’m the world’s worst at leaving lipstick in my pockets! I’ll …
Life Cool Mist Humidifier
We live in a mobile home that has propane heating. Due to having what is called ‘close quartered heating’ our air gets very dry in our home and I suffer from sinus and nasal congestion that gives me headaches. My Pharmacist suggested I get a humidifier to help with …
Clean Magic Eraser
My mother told me about Mr. Clean Magic Eraser when I told her about the rust stains in the porcelin tub we have. I didn’t believe her when she told me how well it worked. I reluctantly paid almost 3 bucks for a box that contained 2 erasers. When …
Dyson Hot Fan Heater
I have the Dyson Blade and it is an awesome fan. The concept is very nice as it is bladeless. Now, I didn’t know that this was possible for a heater as well. I guess the heater is actually easier to make because a heater doesn’t need blades like …
Barbie Store-It-All Case
Because I run a day care, we have toys all over the place. It’s imperative that I have storage and organization for all the toys. We have a playroom in the basement and the kids love to play down there, but between legos, dolls, and games, sometimes …
Professional 600 Stand Mixer
Professional 600 Stand Mixer is by far one of my favorite kitchen appliances thus far. I just recently purchased it because I’ve seen it used by all the chefs on Food Network, so I assumed it must be good. Instead of going to a storefront retailer, I decided to …
McCulloch MC-1275 Steam Cleaner
This is a great steam cleaner. I purchased this steamer a little over a month ago but it has worked great for the short period of time that I have owned it. It makes cleaning so much easier and in my opinion it’s a great addition to …
Norpro Lambswool Duster
I use this Norpro duster quite regularly and although overall I believe it’s wonderful there are a few things that I don’t like about it. First, let me say that I’ve owned it for a year but I just recently started using it often. I purchased it …
National Rice Cooker SR-W06K
I got this rice cooker in an Asian supermarket in Brussels. I like to eat rice once in a while but lately, the rest of my family do not. I got this one because it is small (0.6 liters) in capacity. Besides, I only use this appliance everytime I …
Noxzema Wet Cleansing Cloths
I usually buy Olay cleansing cloths to remove my make up with, but this time I bought Noxzema Wet Cleansing Cloths. These cloths come in a pack of 25, and unlike Olay do not need to be wet in order to wash your face with.
These Noxzema cloths are thicker …
The Grime Fighter All Purpose Cleaner
I bought a bottle of The Grime Fighter All Purpose Cleaner for $10 online, weighing 32 oz from BabyOrganics. Here is my review.
This product was made to help clean the house - it can be used to clean almost any type of surface, including glasses, sinks, tiles, toilets …
SodaStream Jet Soda Making Machine
Have you ever thought it would be fun to make your own soda? We did! That’s why when we seen the SodaStream Jet Soda Making kit during a recent shopping trip, we couldn’t resist it! As a family of four, we go through a lot of soda in this …
Swiffer WetJet Starter Kit
When having a toddler, a dog and 2 cats, you need something that will get your floors clean in a short time. I’ve been using the WetJet for years now and I must say it is a solid investment. I’ve used steam cleaners and other systems and …
Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Wipes
I use sanitizing wipes for personal care, but have yet to employ wipes for the dirtier jobs of housekeeping. It seems more practical to sanitize one’s hands after contact rather than to clean dirty surfaces or objects beforehand. More significantly, I am dubious if such can really …
Pampered Chef 10″ Saute Pan
I have just gotten my Pampered Chef 10″ Saute Pan replaced: after almost 9 years of faithful service, the protective coating wore off, so I thought it was time to use the lifetime warranty the pan comes with.
The pan is very well designed: thick bottom and thinner sides …
Good Sense Vanilla Scented Trash Bags
I have never been too picky about the type of trash bags I use. I picked up some scented trash bags the other day, because I figured they would be good. I have small kids, and I was sure they would work some wonders when it came to dirty …
Dining Bowl by Chic
I love to eat soup. I believe that there is nothing like a hot, tasty soup in a cold day. I have been using the Dining Bowl by Chic for many months now. Please let me share my experience with this dining bowl with you.
I would like to start …
Convection Oven CO-100
This is one of the best gifts I have received in my life. Not only because it has served me well for so many years but because it was a gift from two of my children many Christmases ago. I couldn’t be more pleased since, knowing it’s …
Black & Decker DCM675BF 5-Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker
This little coffee pot has been the saving grace for my roommate and me. Let’s not kid ourselves; we are both coffee addicts. It has its own place in our food pyramid; fruits, grains; veggies, caffeine, etc. We make at least one pot a day, if not two. This …
Serta Nourish Plus Memory foam Mattress
I have owned several mattresses but this is by far certainly one of the best that I have owned. This thing is perfect, I really didn’t know that a mattress could be designed so well. I have owned this for about 7 months and if I had …
Glade Air Infusions
We are very into buying and trying new air freshners in our house.
Right before Cristmas I found Glade Air Infusions. The scent I chose was glistening snow which comes in a 9oz can. The can states the scent lasts up to 1 hour! It’s true the scent does last …
West Elm’s Futon
Not everyone can afford to have good sets of couches and sofas in their rooms, especially when you are young. I don’t have enough space for big couches so I bought a futon instead. But it is hard to tell which futon will be good and which one will …
Votivo Room Mist: Black Ginger
This is by far my favorite of the Votivo scents, and I mean I love Votivo (though Voluspa is fast coming up behind it as my new fave). Black Ginger is a warm, sensuous smell that lingers for a long time with a few sprays. It makes my …
Tisyu tissue
Choosing the right kind of tissue had been very confusing for me. Maybe because there are lots of brands out there to choose from and I needed to have a roll of tissue paper in my bag all the time. So after carefully testing all of them, I was …
Close up Active gel
Close up Active gel one more fine product by Hindustan Unilever limited. I had been using close-up quite some time and when I saw this new product from them I was tempted to try it. The menthol chill flavor was the twist and the new thing about the toothpaste …
Boulder 1-Ply Napkins
Two-hundred and fifty napkins come in a package for a dollar forty-nine from Boulder. Boulder napkins is an off-brand product, so it sells for less than what the name brand companies charge, but also, Boulder napkins are just plain white. There aren’t any colors and there aren’t any designs …
Elmer’s School Glue
I’m no longer in Elementary School, but I still really like Elmer’s School glue. I got a three-pack for a project that I am doing, and it seems to work really well. One thing that is really cool is that it is purple, so you can see …
Bio d household polish
Overall, I’m a fan of Bio d products. They don’t test on animals and do not use harsh chemicals. I recently bought their Bio d household polish. It smells pretty much like any other household polish and comes in a squirty bottle for easy application. …
Spray ‘n Wash Max new and improved Stain Stick
I used to have the Spray ‘n Wash stain stick and it was this longer thinner round stick and the actually stain remover part would fall out of it, or it would turn to total mush when you’re rubbing it over a stain and you end up wasting a …
Hamilton Beach Prepstar 70550R food processor
When my old food processor bit the dust, I decided to order one from a catalog I receive in the mail. This model is the Hamilton Beach Prepstar 70550R.
I’ve had good experiences with Hamilton Beach products before so I figured it would be a good brand. …
Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner
This is my first time to use Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner, but I found myself liking it anyway. Why? Because it does what it’s supposed to do. It arrived in 8 bottles, each weighing 32 oz. The bottles are all big and heavy, but with a cap that is …
Drano Max Gel
There are a lot of different clog cleansers out there, but the one that has worked the best for me thus far is Drano Max Gel.
Drano Max Gel is very easy to use, as are most of its competitors. Being that I have to watch every penny, and …
NordicWare Microwave Popcorn Popper
We like to have a family movie night once a week and I used to buy popcorn, the problem being not only the fat content of store-bought popcorn but also the cost involved as it’s so expensive at the moment. I decided to invest in this NordicWare Microwave Popcorn …
Stanley 15-Inch Fat Max Hand Saw
This thing works wonderfully. I do a lot of wood work so I’m dealing with hand saws a lot and I have to say that I believe this is one of the best out there. It’s very effective and easy to use. I purchased it from …
Glade Country Garden Air Freshener
I am thankful that we have products like Glade Country Gardener Air Freshener for life’s little embarrassing moments. One such event was the first time I brought my best friend home to meet my husband and kids. We thought that her son could play with my kids while we …
Pelonis Fan Heater
Since oil prices are getting to be a pain, I started to look for alternative means of heating my small house in the winter. Not usually using a lot of money on electricity, and not having the time or money to switch to natural gas, the logical step seemed …
RubberMaid G100-12 BBQ Grill Brush
I purchased this brush a little over a month ago to clean my grill and it works as well I can be expected. I purchased it from Wal-Mart and I paid 5 dollars for it. This was one of the cheaper brands that I found but it …
