I received the Stainless Steel Kitchen Aid Toaster Oven as a Wedding gift. Probably not a kitchen item I would have went out and bought myself, but after using it for just about everything, I’m thrilled that I got it. I love it so much and it’s so much …

Water quality is a big concern, which is why a lot of people have Brita and Pur filtration systems for their tap water. The only problem is that you can only take one to go, and then you’re left to resort to tap water. The Brita water bottle solves …

Winter is coming and I can start to feel the chill. I feel that it seems a waste to heat up the whole house when I am only in a few rooms. I decided to get a portable heater that quickly heats up the area around me and at …

At first, I thought that the Slice-O-Matic was a solid buy. I watched the demo and saw many other positive reviews on the product. The short one minute video made it really clear that I can cut my slicing time by half or more. If it really does save …

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 …

I got one of these Panasonic vacuums because I heard that they were pretty good. I chose this one in particular partly because it doesn’t take up as much space as other vacuum cleaners. I guess the size isn’t that much smaller actually. To me, it is just only …

I purchased the Panasonic SR-DE103 Rice Cooker when my old Aroma cooker failed on me. I was interested in the fuzzy-logic technology and needed a rice cooker with decent capacity. This has a capacity of 5 cooks dry, or 10 cups cooked. Since the price was decent I decided …

I like to find nice scented laundry detergents that will leave my clothes smelling refreshed, but that will also not break the bank. I don’t necessarily have a brand that I use all of the time, and will try any detergent almost once. I saw the Sun Laundry Detergent …

We have a car, and like many car owners, we have had a problem dealing with our car seats because of the stains on them. They used to be light gray in color which turned soiled and stained over time because of the many stains we caused, which made them …

I have not bought microfiber cloths before, though I have long thought of buying them because I read that they were really good rags in the kitchen due to their versatility. I finally bought Alpine Innovations Spudz Microfiber Cloth after a long time of thinking about it, and they turned …

In general tabs for a dishwasher are quite a bit more expensive than powder but these are 100x more easy to use and putting powder in a dishwasher can be a pain. We are not faithful to a certain brand of tabs in our household, we buy them as …

I like this kettle a lot! It has different temperature settings - you can heat up the water to either 40, 60, 80 or 100 degrees Celsius, which is really handy. Using the device is really easy too, you set the temperature with “set temperature” button (the red light …

This is an must-have in the house! Supposed to capture the essence of the Scottish Highlands, the scented bottle comes in a pretty box with flowers commonly found in the Highlands as the decoration motif. I was apprehensive about the smell as the market these days has too many …
