Jo!e Small Fry Mini Pan
I don’t know why I picked this up exactly. It certainly wasn’t for the silly egg face on the handle. Aside from that feature, which makes it look like a child’s toy, this seems to be a fairly nice little pan. And I do mean little; it’s only three …

Sunbeam Soft white Bulbs

Snuggle Blue Sparkle Fabric Softener
I am really not a fabric softener person. I’m definitely not one of those who gets addicted to the scent and puts in two capfuls because they assume more fabric softener must be better. No way. In fact, I used to not use liquid fabric softener at all, …

Shark Cordless Carpet and Floor Sweeper
I had seen this on television and in stores but was always a little too skeptical to try it. However, I ended up getting this as a housewarming gift from one of my co-workers. Apparently he had one and loved it. I was glad to at least get to …
Bissell Powerforce Bagless vacuum (model 6583)

I bought Orpat OEK —“ 8127 Electric Kettle last month. My experience with this kettle is somewhat mixed one.

The Bionaire BAP706 Air Cleaner and Ionizer
The Bionaire BAP706 air cleaner and ionizer is a rather useless machine. The guaranteed whisper quite machine turns into one of the loudest machines running in your house by the time the 90 day return policy for most stores is over. Well, that was what happened with …
Comet with Bleach
This is a powder cleaner which seems very popular amongst people I know. It comes in a green can, and really, other than now being scratch free, hasn’t changed much in the past while.
It is a good basic cleaner, although I do not like it and avoid using it …
Waterford Beaumont Ceiling Fixture

Dirt Devil Quick Lite Vacuum Cleaner
