Vornado 600 Series Whole Room Air Circulator
A Vornado is more than a fan — it is a compact but highly efficient whole-room air circulator. At this time of year, it’s really easy to get hot and cold spots in your house where cold has settled or heat has risen. I use a …
Hamilton Beach Dual Wave Versatile Blender
So after my last experience with the cheapo Oster Blender, I Went and upgraded myself to a nice little Hamilton just so I could see what it was about. I have heard positive things about this blender so I was ready so a great experience. And that is what …
Waterpik WP100W Ultra Dental Water Flosser
The Waterpik dental water flosser is not something you would see very often. I got this for a price of $49.99. It is not very cheap, but it isn’t too expensive either. I think the price is perfect for this Waterpik.
The Waterpik is like a flosser. Unlike the …
Philips HD4671 Electric Kettle
An electric kettle is one of those things that I can’t do without, so when my last one spoilt, I had to get a replacement as soon as possible. My old kettle’s lid became dislodged, and as a result steam would escape from the kettle and it would never …
All Oxi-Active Stainlifters
Recently I decided to try All Oxi-Active Stainlifters to see how it did with washing some clothes with stains in them. There are so many products like this that make all kinds of promises, and I don’t tend to believe them; at least, not with the tough stains …
Weston Premium Grand Thermo Set WTPC-1002P
7 months ago, I’d changed my point reward of my credit card with Weston Premium Thermo Set WTPC-1002P. I have changed with it because I have no thermo to make some hot coffee or hot milk or to make warm water. I waste time if i don’t have …
Kirby Sentria Vacauum
OMG this vacauum is the BEST! Top of the line, when the Kirby salesmen came to our door they offered a free carpet cleaning, just to show their product so my dad allowed them inside. They cleaned one room with their carpet cleaning feature of the Kirby, and I …
Houzer Endura 20.25 ” X 14 Inch Cutting Board
I use a cutting board to keep my counters from getting all cut up from the knives. The Houzer Endura Cutting Board was my choice when I was shopping to stock my kitchen gadgets at Walmart. The board cost $106.43. That is a steep price to pay for something …
Pacific Bay Solar Flickering Torch-Set of Two
I decided to look out for solar tiki torches that I’ve noticed popping up around my neighborhood when I go on evening walks. I have always loved the iconic image of tiki torches. They just say summer to me. But, I must confess I’ve never bought the real ones …
Joy Non-Ultra Lemon Scent Dish Soap
I picked up the Joy Non-Ultra Lemon Scent dish soap at the nearby discount store when I was feeling too lazy to drive out to Publix or Kroger, and I’m fairly happy with it thus far.
The big selling point of this dish soap was the price. I often buy …
White Magic Cleaning Cloths Multipurpose and Glass Cleaning
I have only recently swapped over to using White Magic sponges in my home. I have found that the White Magic Cleaning Cloths for Multipurpose and Glass Cleaning are saving me a fortune and they do a great job.
Each cloth is 40×40cm and the cloth is made of microfibre …
Spic and Span Everyday Spray Cleaner (Citrus Scent)
I don’t often purchase spray cleaners because I always mix my own. I like to mix soaps with bleach in a spray bottle, and that is usually good enough for me. One day my husband went out shopping for cleaners and brought home a spray bottle. It was spic …
Avon Strawberry Room and Linen Spray
I have tried all of the Room and Linen Sprays from Avon and this isn’t one of my most favourite ones. It’s not that it is all that bad, but it isn’t all that interesting and the other ones are a lot nicer in my view. There just isn’t …
Nice’n clean anti-static cleaning wipes
My new computer has a flat LCD screen and when I first got it I was not sure of how to clean it, because we have never had that type before. I was used to grabbing a paper towel and some glass cleaner and just wiping it down. On …
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 …
Surf Laundry Bar
I buy laundry bars for my handwashing. I tried using Surf bar once but I swear I am not buying this product again. Surf made my hands so sore and my fingers were all aching after using this product. I highly recommend using gloves when you are using this …
Baolilai Aerosol Insecticide
I’ve been using a regular insecticide at home. I see to it that I spray the kitchen and storage room to prevent from some cockroaches, ants and flies that would be risky to my families health. I am using a regular insecticide for many years but it doesn’t give …
Plink Garbage Disposal Cleaner and Deodorizer
My garbage disposal accumulated a very harsh smell and I wanted a way to be able to clean and freshen it up. I have tried several products for cleaning it but I have to say that this is by far one of the most effective. I first …
Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Juicing Machine
I started using the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Juicing Machine in early 2006 when I was trying to increase my fruit intake without having to eat so much fruit. I was also able hoping to add more servings of vegetables to my diet just by sticking them into my …
Baygon Electric Mosquito Repeller
The Philippines is a tropical country which means that it is home to different insects like mosquitoes. I have been using insect sprays for the longest time but since I had a baby, I didn’t want him to be exposed to insecticides and its …
Creative Home Accents Decorative Storage Boxes From Michaels Crafts
I really like these boxes. They’re sturdy and stackable. And they seem to go on sale several times a year at Michaels. That’s good, because these are much more expensive than your typical shoe box type photo storage boxes. Unlike the shoe box type ones though, they come in …
Breville Die-Cast Hemisphere Blender
I absolutely do love the Breville Blender. The ice crush feature is probably the best feature as it crushes the ice prior to making the shakes. It is nice to have the automatic touch buttons and I am in love with how much horse power the Breville has, 7 …
Electrolux EL7020A Vacuum Cleaner
It was time for us to buy new Vacuum Cleaner because the old one is already too outmoded and need to retire. A vacuum cleaner is most needed in our house because I hate dust and have developed allergy with it. So, we do vacuum regularly the sofa, the …
Hot Spring Spa
We are loyal Hot Spring Spa customers. We have owned Hot Spring Spas for about twenty years. My husband loves his spa, and uses it faithfully every evening. The Hot Spring Spa we currently own is over fifteen years old, and it is going strong. One …
Keurig B3000 Coffee Maker
Recently at the bequest of my persistent boyfriend, I purchased a Keurig coffee maker. Although I am not a big coffee drinker myself, Keurig also makes a good selection of teas so I figured that overall it would be a fun thing to try out.
The machine is an …
Nu Wave Oven
The Nu Wave Oven is by far the messiest and hardest thing to clean up I have ever used bar none. I got my Nu Wave Oven about two years ago because I’m tired of turning my oven on in the middle of hot summer days when I …
Brabandia Touch Bin Waste disposal
I bought this product early last year to replace our old rubbish bin. I decided to get this Brabandia one because it looks neat and clean to use because it is properly enclosed plus the fact that it is a touch bin. The one I got at …
3D Mobile Evaporative Cooler AC-1203
I first bought this appliance when my sister came home from the U.S. Instead of buying an airconditioner or an electric fan, I decided to buy this one and I’m happy I did. It’s way cheaper and lighter than an airconditioner but works the same if not better. It’s …
The Gourmet Pizza Baking Stone by Pampered Chef
A few years ago I was cornered, yes cornered, by my enthusiastic sister in law to come to one of her Pampered Chef parties. Never being one to like these types of parties I really wanted to get out of it gracefully. At the insistence of my …
Mr. Muscle Mold and Mildew Killer
Every day of the week, I engage in cleaning whether it’s a simple de-cluttering or a tedious one. Cleaning seems to ruin neither my schedule nor my day, except if I work in vain. After all the effort and the mess wouldn’t give in, I am hoping that I …
Huskystar C10 by Huskyvarna Viking Sewing Machine
I have had this sewing machine for the last two years. I have found it to be extremely versatile. Not only does it have a variety of stitches which are easily accessible by the touchscreen on the front panel, it also allows you to digitally adjust the …
Bosch WAE 24366GB Washing Machine
I recently had to redesign my kitchen, and as a result I had to replace nearly all my household appliances. This was because most of the appliances I already
had didn’t match the new kitchen design, so I had to get rid of them and get new ones. One of …
Perfection Bath Glove
I have only tried a few bath gloves and they all seem to be disappointing. I decided to give them one more chance when I saw a cute little light blue one in my local Walgreens store. It was the Perfection Bath Glove. My problem with bath gloves is …
Coghlan’s Table Cloth Clamps
These things are wonderful. It really hate it when my tablecloth doesn’t stay in place or moves around so I was so glad when I found these. I didn’t know there was such a product until I found them so I’m very impressed. I purchased these …
Bosch Oven HBN 260 A
This oven came fitted when the kitchen at home was renovated. For my family’s needs, the size of this oven is adequate and even if it is a single door oven, there are enough adjustable racks inside which make it easy for me to put at least 3 casseroles …
Dreamland Double Electric Blanket
I have never been a fan of electric blankets. For some reason I have never trusted them and always had visions of being electrocuted or burned in my sleep from dodgy wiring in the blanket. But it was my mother who convinced me to buy one soon …
Extra Warmth Comforter
My aunt gave me an Extra Warmth Comforter by Pacific Coast Feather Company. The weather is starting to become cool again, and at nights, near my neighbourhood, it keeps raining during nights now, and it’s so cold.
This Extra Warmth Comforter is around $200+, and she gave it to …
Sapporo Coffee Machine
I just got Sapporo Coffee machine from my mother. It was still inside the package when she gave it to me. Although she already got this coffee machine long time ago, she could not use it. She did not know how to use this coffee machine. That’s why she …
Finish Powerball Automatic Dishwasher Detergent
For the most part I prefer to use automatic dishwasher gel for my dishwasher. However, I have tried many different types of detergents and found some that I was relatively pleased with. As far as this product goes I was, for the most part, very pleased with it. …
Scrub Free Bathroom Cleaner with Oxy
I am a die-hard fan of Shower Power, so I was a little hesitant to try a bottle of Scrub Free Bathroom Cleaner that was left in my condominium by a previous tenant. But I am also a fan of saving money, so I am not about to …
iRobot Roomba 780 vacuum cleaning robot
Vacuum cleaning can be backbreaking work. Shoving a heavy upright vacuum is akin to plowing a field. That’s practically no hyperbole to put it. I enjoy sweating a bit, save for inhaling allergy-inducing dusts. At home, the iRobot Roomba 780 takes care of this chore.
The …
Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
I love using my Dawn Dishwashing Detergent! It eats up more grease on dishes than any detergent I have ever used. It really does clean your dishes much better. I love it because if grease were to spill into the sink or you need to drain …
Crane Tower Floor Fan, 3 Speed Oscillating EE-5607
As I’ve said before, I’ve owned a lot of fans over the years. Some of the fans I’ve had have lasted five years before they needed a good replacement, some having fallen apart due to operator error, and some were just giant pieces of junk that I paid way …
Krups F654 Waffle Maker
If you are in the market for a new waffle maker, or perhaps your first waffle make, I recommend that you take a serious look at the Krups F654 Waffle Maker. I look forward to getting up on Sunday and fixing a couple waffles in this maker because it …
Rogue Grand Rapids Pool Slide (6 foot model)
The thing I love about our inground pool more than anything else, is surely our Rogue six foot Grand Rapids Slide. We have the light blue model. When we first bought our home, I saw the pool slide and thought it looked cool. Little did I …
AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener
AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener $11.40
I used to think that sharpening a knife could be done only through the traditional way of using a rough stone so that when this AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener was given to us by my Aunt I was completely ignorant of what purpose this could …
Great Value Powder Dishwasher Detergent
Do not waste your money on Wal-mart’s Great Value brand powered dishwasher detergent! This detergent does not work one bit. In fact, after I used this product, my dishes looked worse coming out of the dishwasher than they did when they went in!
I wanted to try this …
Play & Freeze 1 Pint Ice Cream Maker Ball
I live in the Southern United States where it always gets extremely hot during the summer. Even though it is spring time right now, the weather has already heated up and my craving for ice cream has started. I wanted to purchase an ice cream maker last summer, …
Scrub Buddies 20 Pack Dry Floor Cloths
I just moved into a house with hardwood floors and I was having issues with excessive pet hair on the floor. It’s difficult to sweep up, but the individual hairs are almost impossible to pick up by hand; I assumed my only option was to get a Swiffer. I …
Dollar Tree Orange Cleaning Wipes
I have found myself on multiple occasions looking for a quick way to wipe things down in my home. I have two busy children and always have to run behind them wiping and cleaning. I recently have been using baby wipes to wipe things down and figured this was …
