OXO Good Grips Compact Toilet Brush and Canister

This OXO Good Grips Compact Toilet Brush and Canister is nice and sturdy and looks very nice. I love that you're able to change the heads! Who ever dreamed a toilet bowl brush would merit a five-star Am azon review?! Yup, this one does. Well-designed and good-looking (for a toilet bowl brush), small and discreet, this little guy not only melds into the bathroom scenery, but carries out its intended function spectacularly.
Great toilet brush and canister
Purchased 2 of these. I have 3 bathrooms and like to have a brush handy for quick clean up in each bathroom. I chose this model because it looked nice, all white, easy to use. It's much nicer than I expected and plan to order another to replace a different one I previously purchased.
There are two things that I want from a toilet brush. One is a sanitary place for it to rest while not being used. The second is something that will actually clean my toilet. This OXO Good Grips Compact toilet brush and canister meets both of these requirements. You never have a lid to touch and the brush is hidden while not in use.

Radiant Saunas BSA2409 2-Person Hemlock Infrared Sauna with 6 Carbon Heaters

Came several days sooner than expected! Boxed and packaged nicely, one of the boxes had some damage and a small piece of the sauna was affected but can't even tell unless you know where to look. I hired a couple handy men to put Radiant Saunas BSA2409 2-Person Hemlock Infrared Sauna with 6 Carbon Heaters together as me & my hubs didn't have time, they finished it up in a couple hours, everything went perfect! It takes approximately 25-35 minutes to heat up to around 135 degrees. Everything else about this sauna I would give a five star. I would definitely recommend this sauna to friends. Cannot beat the price.
Radiant Saunas are the safe, effective and affordable way to relieve stress and improve health
I really like this sauna. This is my first one , and I'm pleased. The unit works. It takes about 20 minutes to warm up to 136 degrees. The ozone and ion device work well and leave the sauna smelling like fresh rain. I was able to put this sauna together by myself by using walls to hold the sauna up.
The manual was somewhat vague in assembly details, but the average person should be able to figure it out without too much trouble. On the plus side, this is a very good sauna for the money. We used it for the first time last night and were very pleased with our purchase. I ordered this sauna to help with general aches and pains of aging and mild arthritis. I just want to say, it is super!

Lifesmart Rock Solid LS 200 DX Simplicity Plug and Play 4 Person Spa With 12 Jets

When Lifesmart Rock Solid Simplicity Plug and Play 4 Person Spa With 12 Jets became listed as one of the "Today's Lightening Deals", the price caught my attention, I reviewed all the customer reviews and I then decided to buy it. My experience with them was excellent, they sent me tracking information and the trucker worked with me transferring the wooden pallet holding the hot tub on its side with the cover lashed to it onto a small utility trailer (one of those Harbor Freight types that I can tow with the car hitch attachment plate on the back of my lawn tractor).
Shop for Lifesmart Rock Solid LS 200 DX Plug and Play Spa with 12 Jets
The early impressions are fantastic. The light changes color at the touch of a button and doesn't require changing caps. The waterfall is adjustable and really nice. The cover is superb. I got the four latches screwed into the side - really easy and looks great. The biggest plus is the unit has an ozonator built in - these usually cost extra.
I used moving pads between the deck and the pallet to allow for easier moving job - slid the pallet nearly 25 feet by myself this way. The Lifesmart Rock Solid Simplicity Plug and Play 4 Person Spa With 12 Jets has been the best purchase I have made on Am azon. You plug it into a standard outlet and it works just as good as the hot tubs you spend $5,000.00 on. BTW look up this hot tub on Sears.com and you will see your getting a great deal. I 100% tell anyone who is interested to go for it and purchase this awesome hot tub.

Frigidaire FAD704DWD Energy Star 70-pint Dehumidifier

This Frigidaire FAD704DWD Energy Star 70-pint Dehumidifier unit WORKS, and it does what it's supposed to do. It will extract a full 2-gallon reservoir of collected water out of the air every 24 hours. Those who've purchased humidifiers tend to understand that humidifier reliability is often a random walk even for the nominally 'good' brands, and Frigidaire isn't any different. A super quiet low speed button would be pretty nice (if that exist anywhere).
Frigidaire FAD704DWD Energy Star 70-pint Dehumidifier
The unit is very good and it works better than expected. My basement if approximately 1800 sq ft and this unit draws moisture out of the room like a charm.
You have to choose consumer and then buy parts options so that you can BUY an adapter kit (plug for the drain hole inside the bucket and a vented adapter for the hose hook up) that wasn't included with the unit. It's EA155D part # 201126690193...........If the kit arrives and works, I won't bother adding to this review. The adapter should have come with the unit or been free. The sales rep was a broken record about how the new units have this built in and the older units it's an accessory.

Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller

My main focus was on automating the lighting in my home and this unit does the job. I have installed several Intermatic dimmer switches (CA600), on/off relay switches (CA3000), on/off outlets (CA3500), and scene controllers (CA5100). Enter the Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller...I has a nice, clean polished GUI that makes life easy when adding or programming devices.
LUUP API allows you to communicate with and control the entire Z-Wave network by calling URLs and reading XML
I am happy I selected this controller. It seems like a great foundation to a sophisticated home automation system
Adding devices has been very straight forward, walk the battery powered Vera Lite over to the device, click a button on the device you are adding and you are done - literally takes seconds. Controlling the devices via the Vera is very simple as well, click on devices, then what you want to do to the device, ie on/off, dim etc. To pair devices with the Vera you simply disconnect the power and network cables from the Vera then push the battery button to power the Vera up.

SEI Mirage Mirrored Cabinet with Faux Crystal Knobs

Pretty great for the price compared to a lot of other cabinets selling for 3-4x as much. You get what you pay for for these cabinets! Perfect for any room, this glamorous SEI Mirage Mirrored Cabinet with Faux Crystal Knobs is a perfect compliment for your home.
SEI Mirage Mirrored Cabinet with Faux Crystal Knobs
With its mirrored finish, it adapts to any surroundings without overpowering, but it catches your eye with its unique presence. You've put a lot of care into choosing your furnishings and with continued care you should be able to enjoy them for many years to come. We recommend dusting with a soft dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaner.

Bobkona Poundex Benford Collection Faux Linen Chaise Sofa

Very firm which I love. The shipping was prompt. The couch arrived in two boxes and was impressively compact. It was very easy to put together and the boxes came with all the tools needed :) Also, the couch itself is a beautiful color.
Poundex Montereal 2-Piece Sofa and Loveseat Collection Set with Faux Linen fabric, Ash Black ColorI bought Bobkona Poundex Benford Collection Faux Linen Chaise Sofa, 2-Piece because I like the sleek lines and low seating. It is true to color and easy to put together. It's not the highest quality piece of furniture, but the price was fair.  It took about 40 minutes to put together with two people. I appreciate that the lounge is reversible but it also connects to the couch so it doesn't slide around on you while you are lounging.

TrekDesk Treadmill Desk

I'm typing this review while walking on my treadmill and using the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk. I use a desk top with a flat screen monitor not a lap top. Assembly was pretty easy. Most desks take me about 4 hours. The only bad review I've read about this desk is a doctor who commented on it's stability.
TrekDesk Treadmill Desk : Exercise

My flat screen sits on it with no problem. No problem there. Nothing will shake off of this desk. I can run 4 mph with no problem and even faster. Just be sure not to fall into the desk while running fast :) I do suggest having good speakers to turn up the volume while running fast to overcome the noise of the tread mill. Sure if you buy a $5000 solid oak treadmill desk the desk will be solid and super stable.

Husqvarna 7021P 21-Inch 160cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered 3-N-1 Push Lawn Mower With High Rear Wheels (CARB Compliant)

Why Choose this ?   

I read all of the reviews good and bad for this Husqvarna 7021P 21-Inch 160cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered 3-N-1 Push Lawn Mower With High Rear Wheels (CARB Compliant) and decided that this is the mower for our needs. We have a small 1/2 acre city lot with only a small portion of lawn. The auto choke is marvelous. Slide it all the way back, pull down the operator bar, give the pull start a yank, and you are off to a fresh cut lawn. No messing with priming bulbs or adjusting choke. Awesome is an overused word, but it certainly applies to finding it on a lawnmower.

It is nice, clean, and runs great. You generally can not go wrong with a Honda engine on any piece of equipment. However, you get out of it what you put into it. If you take good care to keep it clean provide it with the necessary maintenance, it will last you a long time.

Husqvarna 460 Rancher 20-Inch 60.3cc 2-Stoke X-Torq Gas Powered Chain Saw (CARB Compliant)

Why Choose this ?

Just got this Husqvarna 460 Rancher 20-Inch 60cc 2-Stoke X-Torq Gas Powered Chain Saw which replaced a poulan consumer grade model. I had used a 455 and really liked it but for a little extra money went with the 460 and extra power for the same weight. This weekend my neighbor cut down two huge maple trees and gave me all the wood. They were all in 4-6 foot sections from the tree service. I needed something with more power and a longer bar. While this one is only 2" longer than my 455, those extra inches really help. And it will accept a 24" bar as well.

Cheap Price Husqvarna 460 Rancher 20-Inch 60.3cc 2-Stoke X-Torq Gas Powered Chain Saw (CARB Compliant)

Very easy starting, cuts like a razor with plenty of power. If you follow the directions 2 - 3 pulls cold start and 1 pull hot start. I may buy a lighter saw to replace my 16 inch poulan or swap out the bar and chain on this to a 16 inch. If I did replace the poulan it would be with a Husky. Highly recommended. I have more cutting to do and will update later if needed.

Safco 1929CY Adjustable Height Stand-Up Workstation, 29w x 19-3/4d x 49h

I don't really understand why there are two negative reviews saying this Safco 1929CY Adjustable Height Stand-Up Workstation, 29w x 19-3/4d x 49h, Cherry PVC Top is not adjustable. The top shelf is definitely adjustable. The only thing I can think of is that the negative reviewers received the wrong product, since Safco does produce a desk with fixed height - Safco Muv Stand-up Workstation, Medium Oak. We have an adjustable monitor stand, so the most important setting is the keyboard shelf. I slid the shelves up and down until we found the right height for the keyboard for my wife.

There are only pictures, no word instructions. If you have spatial skills and stare at the pictures long enough, you should eventually figure it out. The desk comes with an allen wrench and open-end wrench. All you need is a phillips screwdriver. This is a very solid standing desk. When assembled, the entire thing feels very sturdy. No wiggly or wobbly bits at all.

Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System With Lifetime Warranty

Purchased this Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System With Lifetime Warranty very recently, so my review is not based on a great deal of usage. I got a call back very quickly from a rep called Max. It cleaned my kitchen floor very well, without my needing to use chemicals and I plan to do bathroom next. Hope to get a good few years of steam cleaning and bed bug deterring from this product. Prior to purchasing, I had not actually read Am azon reviews.
Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System With Lifetime Warranty
Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System With Lifetime Warranty - Carpet/tile floor Steam Cleaners.
I have purchased several cleaning and garment steamers over the years and though this was quite a bit more than your average floor cleaner or garment steamer, believe me it kills these other machines - hands down. The MR-100 is a large machine (slightly larger base than any garment steamer I've owned) and generates a significant amount of steam; with various attachments I am able to clean my hardwood and tiled (marble and ceramic) floors, as well as around tub, toilet and sink with the included nozzle or brush.
  • Awarded the number one pick from Consumers Digest Magazine
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Kills bed bugs, dust mites and other allergens
  • ETL certified for your safety
  • Cleans and sanitizes the entire house chemical free with the power of steam
The Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System takes about 10 minutes to heat up but you'll be rewarded for the wait with a powerful flow of steam to tackle any household cleaning chore I've so far tried. The other great feature is the ability to completely de-wrinkle and freshen up fabrics (clothes, drapes, bedding, etc). It really cuts the crud that gets worked into carpeting and cloth seats. My guess is its mostly hand lotion and dirt- but the issue has always been having to be really careful not to soak it with water or cleaner because it might not work when you're done.

Harsh cleaners can leave harsh smells for a while. It is easy to attach the accessories and go from floor cleaning, to scrubbing, to pressing a silk blouse. With 4 pets, a kid, and urban grime a fact of city living, this appliance replaces my floor steamer, garment steamer and my iron so I don't mind its sllightly oversized profile.

The Vaparmore cleaned the grout on a bathroom tile floor with less effort than heavy duty tile and grout chemical cleaners. Next I steamed cleaned two hall entry wool rugs that I thought I'd ruined using a friend's Kirby to shampoo them. The rugs look and feel clean.

This Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System really packs a punch and did an unbelievable cleaning job on the grout. Not counting the time I spent familiarizing myself with the steamer and attachments (there are four different size brush attachments as well as a bunch of other attachments and fittings) it took me less than six hours to completely finish the job. In just over six hours I filled the steamer with water five times, and still had steam left when I was finished. Awesome!!

I'd say that if cleaning tile / grout or steaming tons of clothes is what you want to do, this Vapamore MR100 Primo machine would be OK for you. The Vapamore MR-100 PRIMO is an amazing machine. I have used it for grout, cleaning my oven, bathroom grime, doggy door, baseboards, refrigerator, and lots more! I only wish you could see the water level. Again, I am so pleased with this machine, I would highly recommend Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaning System With Lifetime Warranty to anyone looking for a trustworthy and well made dry vapor steam machine!
