I have no idea why I bought this toilet bowel cleaner and to be honest with you I think it was a huge mistake. My wife has always told me that buying items that aren’t really known to work isn’t a good idea. And investing in items that don’t …

Trying to find a floor cleaner that actually works, I think is sometimes a bit of a hit and miss affair. I’ve seen various floor cleaners advertised on the television and from the advert they look brilliant, until you come to try them. Even some of the more expensive …

I’ve had these tongs for years, and at this point I almost couldn’t do without them. Now, to be clear these are the ones with the scalloped metal edges, not the newer nylon coated tongs. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about those. Those are on my list of …

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 …

In Canada, only the very very wealthy can afford a high-thread count set of sheets; anything over 200-thread count can be well over $150, and I have seen 400-thread count sheets for $300. It is something we just have to live with here. That is probably why I always …

I love to cook but I find food prep tedious and time consuming. Recently I heard that the Magic Bullet could peel, chop, blend, whip, grind, and mix; in a matter of seconds, and using only one appliance. Sure I was skeptical but I still wanted …
