Raid Electric Night&Day Complete Set
O got this on a special offer with 2 heater units instead of 1 and 1 refill (they could give 2 refills though, would make more sense from the consumers point of view).
I bought it because lately the number of mosquitoes seems to have grown in my area …
Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer

This such a cheap piece of junk there isn’t even a brand name on it. It is a 27 LED AC/DC rechargable trouble light. Great in theory, actually gives off a good amount of light when working and has a resonable battery life (approx. 5 hours). That’s …

Pledge Clean and Dust
This particular Pledge doesn’t work all that great. Yes, it does clean but the dusting part isn’t so clean. It turns the pledge and dust into a dusty muddy mess.
