I’m a huge fan of Yankee Candle so when was given the opportunity to try some new (to me) varieties I jumped at in, choosing a wax tart called Hazelnut Coffee as I’m a big lover of anything coffee flavoured/scented.  When it arrived through the post I knew I …

The ASDA stainless steel cordless kettle is a personal favourite of mine. Since I bought my first property I have taken an unusual interest in what I would normally consider to be boring household items. They now take on a whole new meaning to me. Now these little objects …

The Dow Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner hangs over your shower head and, according to the manufacturer, will clean your shower so well if you simply push the button once a day that you’ll never have to clean your shower manually again. I’d say don’t throw away your …

I found Terro Liquid Ant bait just when the ant infestation in my apartment was starting out. I’m stickler for keeping clean and the presence of ants meant that something was wrong in my house. But no amount of bleaching, cleaning and scrubbing deterred them. I was not about …

One of the first things I was told when I first moved in this house was that the electronic gate did not work correctly. It was so slow that often, I had to wait for a full minute before I could actually drive in. At one point, I just …

A couple of years ago, I realized I never made a pot of coffee anymore. I usually just wanted one cup and resorted to pouring out the rest of the pot or half-pot, whichever I brewed. And, I realized I absolutely missed having that cup of coffee …

I am such a sucker for crockpots, and without a doubt, Rival’s are the best. I have not only purchased their 2005 large crockpot, but their 2007 edition, as well. I am so dependent upon these cooking machines, it is not even funny! I find them …

I have fond love for steam cleaners. So with that being said, I have to say that this steam vac cleaner has done some major justice for me. It was actually one of the first steam cleaners I bought myself before I was married. The main …

I was skeptical about buying another kitchen appliance, since many that I have purchased or had gifted to me lately were not all they were cracked up to be. A friend of mine insisted that this was one I would really enjoy. She proved her point by …

I am going to review these Cricket Lighters now as I have been using this pack of three for a few weeks now and I am already impressed that they have not run out or broken on me so far! I am a heavy smoker and have tried …

I bought Eurow Microfiber Cleaning Cloths 12″ X 16″ for $24.95 online. Here is my review.
The kitchen towels measured 12″ X 16″ they don’t look too special or any different from the other kitchen rags I used before. Besides, they were made of cotton hence, they can be …

West Blend-Espresso/Coffee Maker is a two in one machine. In my opinion, this device is not worth the $50 that you have to pay for it. That is actually a very economic price for a machine that can either make an espresso or a pot of coffee, depending on …

Nothing beats a summer barbecue, but those big barbecues are more work than we wanted. We didn’t need all the bells and whistles for our purposes. We just wanted something simple, something that would let us have that barbecue flavor with ease. The perfect answer for …

I have recently been using Bio-D Nappy Fresh as a general stain removing product. I’m a mum-to-be so have no used nappies to wash as yet but will be using washable nappies so this product should be a godsend.
It works well as a natural, ethical stain …

My wife and I have bought plenty of blenders in our time and that let me be the one to say that all of them aren’t cut out to do the dirty work. You have to be careful when you buy certain blenders. I need something that is going …

The Evriholder Fanny Furniture Dusting and Polishing Glove cost me under five dollars. I don’t recall how much it cost me precisely because I’ve owned it for at least seven or eight months now. It’s a housewares item that’s still available for purchase today though and it’s one that …

The Honeywell Thermostat has been a great addition to my home. I have the Honeywell RTH7000 programmable Series that provides control of 24 VAC heating and cooling systems. There are a lot of great benefits to adding a programmable thermostat to your home. The best part is the amount …

I received the Ready Set Fajita Kit for my birthday this year, and it was just in the nick of time. Lately, I had been mulling over the idea of starting family restaurant night. I’ll admit it; I’ve been missing Chili’s since we’ve cut way back on …

I have written the review about the Arial detergent before, but now I am going to introduce the very good quality cleaning detergent powder which not only cleans good it also costs very less price. The detergent powder, which I am talking, is known as the Rin supreme detergent …

The SurfaceMax 200 Vacuum is not a good vacuum and it certainly is not worth the money. When I first purchased the vacuum everything was working fine and I liked the vacuum. The design of the bagless container is great and it can be easily removed to …

We had hired a sweeper to clean the toilet bowls of our house regularly but he took a lot of leaves and the day he turned up, did not do the work satisfactorily. He also used to charge an appreciable amount for the job.
It was that by chance we …

I was ready to buy my washing machine years ago. I went to about 5 different appliance display centres. coz I couldn’t decide that easy. There are just so many brands to choose from. Each brand has different features which makes decision harder. I have to consider so many …

I had to make a request because my mother bought my the stainless steel stove which I thought was pretty cool. She refused to by it by my father was all over it. It took about a month of convincing him that the LG Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator …

I found this phone to be a definite case of “You buy cheap, you get cheap junk”.
This waste of two hours from my paycheck comes with the typical cordless phone features. The memory stores up to 45 previous incoming calls, as well as 20 names in the phone directory. …

My refrigerator had a lot of stuck on food and odors on the inside and I wanted something that would be capable of cleaning it. I decided to purchase this fridge cleaner and it works wonders. I purchased it a little over 3 months ago and

We thought it was a good idea to purchase a generator after dealing with weather-related power outages. The DuroStar DS4000S is awesome, and I’m more than impressed by it’s capabilities. Now, I want to lay out a few basics. You should know that it’s gas powered. …

After my old water heater failed, I purchased this WhirlPool as a replacement. It’s a 40 gallon water heater, and I purchased it from Lowes for $340. To me this price was a bargain. Despite being one of the cheaper models, it’s very efficient, …

I found Windex Clean & Shine Dry Microfibre Cloths on sale five for a $1CDN plus tax. Each microfibre cloth came individually wrapped, in an attractive blue package, and here was the first mistake, the Windex company could easily have fitted two cloths in each package and avoided landfill …

I’d been hearing a lot of buzz on the Internet about Mia Bella candles by Scent-sations, so I decided to order some. Everything I’d heard about them was wonderful. Everyone was talking about how wonderful they smell, how clean they burn, and how economical they were.
I thought they were …

We have always had a shed in the back yard to store lawn equipment, bikes, tools, and other lawn supplies. My husband needs the extra space for his things that don’t fit into our regular garage. Since we only have a 2 stall garage, and we have …

I got this soap dish when I was making my own soap and needed a dish that would hold really large bars. This one definitely held a “hefty” bar of soap as advertised but it definitely had its qualms too.
Just to give an idea of how large of …

Even here, in Canada, during the summer, it get really hot. That is originally the reason I purchased my Lasko fan. After 3 years of using it, I would definitely say I am very satisfied with it.
It is easy to assemble, taking only about half an hour. The …

I really love my Continental Cool Touch Fryer. It is a great little deep fryer. I like the fact that it has a basket with a handle so I don’t have to use a scooper to try to fish all of my food out. It also helps with splattering …

I recently decided to redesign my kitchen, and one of the major problems that came out of this endeavour was the fact that I had to replace nearly all of my electrical appliances in the kitchen since most of them didn’t match the new scheme. One of the things …
