HP DreamScreen 100 10.2-Inch Wireless Connected Screen Reviews

I bought this for my wife, for Christmas. At first, she thought it was just another Digital Frame. She later found out that it was so much more. It may have taken some time to set it up and get started, but it is worth it. We have it displayed in our Living Room and turn it on whenever we have company. Our kids are amazed by it everyday and love the pictures that we have uploaded on it and play with the music we also uploaded on it or stream from Pandora! It's just plain great.

This review is center around what we intend to use it as: A digital photo frame. We went in looking to our local retailer ready to buy the Sony 9.2" frame when we saw that this one was on sale for just $20 more (it was $80 off). I had brought the CF card from my Nikon digital SLR that had a couple hundred pictures on it, and this frame easily had the nicest looking picture of all in the store, with the Sony a very close second. It blew the Kodak and Insignia frames away. And when you add in the Internet capabilities for facebook, weather, etc. it was an easy choice. Had it been the full $250 we likely would have gone with the Sony. It was nice, but not $100 nicer. But at the sale price there was simply no way we could pass it up. Don't be fooled by the lower rating. Many of the other reviewers are holding this frame to a whole different standard (and maybe justifiably so if paying full price). Definitely recommended if you can get it on sale. Most of the 9-10" frames are in the $130-$150 range, and we got this for $170. Would I have purchased if I had to pay full price? Maybe, but I'd probably go for the Sony if I was just looking for a photo frame. And if I'm looking for a do it all media center on a 10" screen? I dunno. I wasn't looking for one. :)

Panasonic NN-SN667W 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven, White Review

Panasonic NN-SN667W 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven, White

1.2 cft, 1300 Watts of High Power, One-Touch Sensor Cooking/Reheat, Chrome 5 Button for easy progamming/use, Keep Warm/More-Less Control, Popcorn Key, Inverter Turbo Defrost, Quick Minute, White

Panasonic NN-SN667W 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven Reviews

I chose this microwave because its dimensions are smaller than Sharp's microwaves of similar capacity (I have to fit it on a shelf). I bought it from Amazon for its free-shipping offer because I wanted it shipped directly to my work place, and I'd prefer dealing with Amazon rather than an unknown seller on its web site. It's a spanking white microwave and works well as one would expect from Panasonic. It has been almost a month and nothing to complain about.

Our last Sharp micro (same size as this one) lasted only less than two years so I didn't want to go with another sharp. Our selection is very limited because unfortunately we have to put a micro on the counter and needed to stick with this exact size and color. There's not much to choose from in this size in white!
I really like this microwave. It's very simple to operate and it does a very good job. If our old one was set to say %50 power, you could hear the power going on and off. With this one, it's a constant reduction of power and I believe it cooks more evenly. It's straight-forward and not fancy, which suits us just fine. Appears to be good quality, but time will tell. We've had it only a couple of weeks. The button that opens the door works ok for us, but I can see why some think it's a little flimsy. Not a deal breaker though by any means. It sets against the backsplash, so it doesn't slide, but would if it didn't have that support. Nothing a little rubber under the feet wouldn't take care of.

iRobot 330 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot Review

iRobot 330 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot

It's time to stop mopping. From iRobot, the makers of the top-selling iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robot, comes a revolutionary new way to clean your hard floors. Meet iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot, the world's first floor-washing robot for the home that preps, washes, scrubs, and dries your floor--all by itself. Scooba not only does the job for you, but does it better. Unlike mop and bucket methods that just spread dirty water around your floor, Scooba uses fresh Clorox Scooba cleaning solution from start to finish. With the press of a button, the robot will leave your floors clean, dry, and ready to walk on. Scooba is simple to use, and safe on all sealed hardwood, tile, and linoleum flooring

iRobot 330 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot Reviews

I bought a Scooba after I purchased my Roomba. They both work so well together that not only is my house cleaner but my asthma has went down as well. The Scooba is nothing less than amazing, my wife and I have a concrete kitchen floor and hardwood in the rest of the house. We let the Scooba go non-stop for several days between charging and now that the entire house is clean we run it every 3 days. :) Hands down awesome.

I've had a Roomba Vacuum for years and absolutely love it so I decided to take the plunge and get a scooba for my kitchen floor. I was using one of those disposable wet jet mop pad things and found them useless because the pad gets dirty in about 30 seconds and you end up just pushing the dirt around your floor. The thing I really like about Scooba is that only clean solution goes on your floor and after being scrubbed by the revolving brush, gets sucked up into a separate tank. Trust me when I tell you you'll be amazed when you empty the dirty tank and black water comes out. I can honestly say my floors have never been cleaner with scooba. Clean up only takes about 5 minutes and consists of rinsing the clean & dirty tanks and a few parts under water. Highly recommended and a lifesaver!

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pinpointer and Carry Bag Review

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pinpointer and Carry Bag

Beach combers, treasure and relic hunters, prospectors and coin shooters will love the Quick Draw II metal detector from Bounty Hunter for it’s comfort, sensitivity and discrimination control, and digital readout for easy of use. A precision device for locating metallic items, such as jewelry, coins, bullets, and other various artifacts buried up to 3 feet deep, the detector features an 8-inch interchangeable waterproof coil with sensitivity and discrimination controls, so you’ll know whether there are valuable coins down there or just rusty nails and tin cans. The Quick Draw II’s auto notch and selective notch filters let the detector discriminate between metal types. In auto notch the detector automatically displays the type and size of metal found.

Selective notch filter mode lets you set the detector to include or exclude any object type or combination of types, finding for example, 1/2 dollars and ignoring unwanted items or finding any type of coin only, or excluding pop can pull tops for example while showing everything else. The detector notifies you with either an audible tone or visual indicator as to what range of metal types a detected object is likely to fall in for further weeding out of undesired items. Touch pad selection and 3-level iron discrimination help produce more coins and fewer rusty nails. The unit's handy LCD display with target identification and depth readout help pinpoint the location of artifacts. Not only does the Bounty Hunter discriminate between valuable metals and iron, it displays coin sizes up to 8 inches deep and detects larger objects up to 3 feet down. A handy headphone jack helps you tune into the search even near noisy streets (headphones sold separately). The purchase is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and includes a storage pouch and digging tool.

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Reviews

shipped on time important to me. Use product to spend time with daughter and she loves it easy to use, and getting even easier. have not really found to much yet but every time we go out we find a little more. important to me not to discourage her kids need to find those coins or what ever so not to get bored. product is lite and durable no toy here. easy to understand directions even for beginner. nice displays and audio alerts you to buried targets. depeth of target a little off even if you place coil flat on ground not a big deal. I think this product is well worth the money for what you get.

I received this as a Christmas gift. However when I discovered what my son paid for it, I returned it to the local sporting good chain store, and ordered the exact same product on Amazon for $70+ less!! I haven't been able to use it yet because of extra cold and snowy weather this year, but I'm looking forward to Spring. From all the research I've done, this should be a very good beginner level detector, and the price via Amazon was great.

North States 3 in 1 Metal Superyard - 3 Gates in 1 Review

North States 3 in 1 Metal Superyard - 3 Gates in 1

Extra tall 30" high 6 panel Superyard creates a safe, portable play area for young children & pets- encloses 10 sq. ft. Includes one gate panel with childproof double locking system. Metal Superyard sits on carpet,tilee, hardwood floors. Rubber pads prevent scratching. Easy to setup, take down and store. May be used for pets

North States 3 in 1 Metal Superyard Reviews

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday, for her baby boy to play in a safer place while she could "get things done." As long as he can see her, he plays well. It is so sturdy that he uses it also for balance to walk from end to end, great practice for him. A plastic yard would never have worked.

This was the best product that I could find for the money. We purchased this product to prevent our son from accidental contact with our woodstove in the winter season. The gate has very sturdy metal construction yet it folds up quickly and carries relatively easily to set up in another location. In the warmer months the gate has been handy outdoors on our porch to allow play time outside with less hands on supervision. Once the gate sections are angled to allow it to support itself vertically it has been stable enough to resist the occasional pull or push without becoming unbalanced. I have not seen the gate fall over unless it was completely folded for storage. We usually secure the gate around the woodstove and it has not moved at all when fully secured even with our son pulling himself upright with it. We have really enjoyed the flexible panel systems ability to adapt to many different shaped enclosures. We can make a circular play yard or subdivide a small room. The portability and adaptability mean we use this gate quite bit. We have had the gate for several months (>8 months) now and we have had no problems with function or durability. The gate latch might take some getting used to but works well for us. Overall we have been very pleased with the North States 3 in 1 metal Superyard.

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter Review

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter

Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for your plants. The Worm Factory 360 composting system takes the effort out of composting. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Air enters on all four sides of the base exposing the bottom to a free flow of fresh air. Compost creates heat and gases that rise through the system and exit out the 4 sides of the lid. By using worms and this thermo siphon design you can now produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizers available. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards.

The Worm Factory 360 is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more. Unlike other composters the Worm Factory 360 is expandable by adding additional trays. This allows more compost capacity while still maintaining the smallest foot print. Use worms to recycle your waste, create quality compost and create a more sustainable lifestyle. Made in the USA with high quality food grade recycled plastics. How It Works: Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled with waste add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. Package Includes: 16 Page Illustrated Instruction Manual 250g Coconut Coir Hand Rake Thermometer Scraper Recycled Worm Bedding Worm Bedding

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter Reviews

I was nervous about composting with worms, but have been amazed at how little time it takes. I've had the Worm Factory 360 for about 3 months now and haven't had any problem with bad smells. I have it on my very small screened in porch (lanai as we call it in Florida) and no one even notices it. I started with 1 lb of worms but might recommend 2 lbs if you have lots of food waste. I suppose I have an average amount for a two-person household and after three months, there are almost enough worms to keep up with our waste. I generally feed the worms once or twice a week and sometimes turn on the hose nozzle to the Mist setting to add moisture. I would guess that I spend 10 - 15 minutes per week. Of course the initial set-up took a bit longer and harvesting the castings from the bottom tray will also take a little more time.

A few weeks ago I made the decision to give vermicomposting a try. I live in an area that supports recycling, but we still have to take the items there. The rest of the trash costs us per weight, and ends up decomposing in a way that is not healthy. Why not reduce the trips to recycling, the money spent having someone else take away the rest of it, and end up with healthy compost for our plants? Hey, when it's January and you live in one of the coldest states, you start thinking about gardening so that you don't go all Jack Torrance.

I read a lot on the topic, including a lot of advice on making my own bin. However, DIY bins almost always involved work in getting your slimy friends to go to The Other Side of The Bin. I decided to make the investment and buy a stackable unit, because they're made and used in a way that the worms migrate up and leave the finished compost behind. I thought it was well-worth the money now for the convenience and the anticipated money saved.

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower Review

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower

Responding to the need for an easy-to-use machine that could tackle heavier snowfall on large driveways and walkways, Snow Joe developed the Snow Joe Ultra 622 -- a larger electric snow thrower that delivers the power of a gas machine with the convenience of an electric unit. Driven by a 13 amp motor, the Snow Joe Ultra moves up to 800 pounds of snow per minute. Its durable, 4-blade, heavy-grade steel rotor cuts 19 inches wide and 11 inches deep with each pass, clearing up to 2150 square feet per hour.

In addition to its hard-working plowing capacity, the Snow Joe Ultra features an adjustable discharge chute that rotates a complete 180 degrees to provide full control over the snow discharge direction. The chute deflector can also be adjusted to control the height of the snow stream, and the easy-glide pivot wheels make the Snow Joe Ultra easy to turn and maneuver on each pass. The scraper blade at the base of the unit efficiently scrapes the snow clear to the pavement, making walkways and driveways much safer.

Like the Snow Joe 322, the Snow Joe Ultra 622 is powered electrically, so it's always effortless to start and maintain. No gas, oil, or tune-ups are necessary. The unit is ETL-approved and carries a full two-year warranty. For heavier snowfall on large driveways and walkways, the Snow Joe Ultra 622 is your smart solution this winter.

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower Reviews

As a mom of three, anything that makes my life easier is certainly a help and this snow machine certainly made it easy to clear snow off my 100 ft driveway and front walk. My husband also uses it too and was very happy about my purchase. He's the traditional shoveler kind, but when he saw me zip through the snow on the driveway, he just had to get a hand on it. I like that I can totally manage this machine on my own (even put it together myself in about 5 min) and that all it requires is an outdoor cord. I hang it on a hook in the garage and it takes up minimal space. I also like that I don't have to worry about draining gas out of it during the off-months.

For the price its a great value. I found it powerful enough to clear even that crusty gritty pile the snowplow leaves at the end of your driveway 15 minutes after you put the blower away. I can easily put it in the back of the wagon to do my mothers sidewalks. The best part is no gas smell, spills or mixing oil. I no longer smell like an oil refinery after blowing snow. Its way quiet too, I can blow snow at 2AM if I want and not disturb my neighbors. I really like the special start safety button cause stops the blade instantly if you mess up or hit something. I strongly suggest you use a blue cold flex cord with lighted plug...cause it really helps to know when the power is getting to the blower and the flex follows better. I will not blow snow with a gas blower ever again.

Garden Sun GS4400SS Floor Standing 44,000 BTU Propane Powered Patio Heater With Push Button Ignition, Stainless Steel Review

Garden Sun Floor Standing 44,000 BTU Propane Powered Patio Heater With Push Button Ignition

This patio heater is absolutely gorgeous. It will be a great addition to your patio, so you can enjoy the outdoors in the winter. Comes with wheels attached to the base in order to move the heater to your desired location. CSA/ UL Approved Hose & Regulator. Fuel: Propane or Butane Gas.

Customer Reviews

We live in Minnesota where cool evenings are a regular occurence. I bought this Garden Sun GS4400SS before an outdoor poker game on my deck. It worked great. I didn't win the game, but I sold several heaters. It was easy to assemble, lights very easily, the wheels make it very portable, and it looks good too. This heater is allowing many more comfortable nights outside in the fresh air. I also appreciated the follow-up from Jack's Tool Shed. Your customer service was outstanding. My biggest regret was not ordering one sooner.

Great product. All stainless steel and works well. Cost less than an ugly one that Home Depot was selling. One thing to be aware of though - these things are real gas guzzlers so don't leave running when you don't actually need it. Also, it is very tall so, if you have a covered porch or patio, make sure there is enough clearance. Installation was not difficult but was time consuming - the protective paper on the stainless steel was very difficult to remove. Came the next day by Fedex even though I did not request or pay for next day service.

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner

This model is strong, silent and easier on the environment. The Electrolux ultra silencer has an high efficiency motor and only 60 DBA noise output. This canister is produced with 55-percent of plastic from recycled materials and 80-percent of the packaging is from recycled unbleached cardboard. Accessory tools are included for versatile cleaning.

Customer Reviews

I have a large apartment with old wooden floors that get a lot of dust and pet hair stuck between the boards. Electrolux EL6984A has enough suction to thoroughly clean them as well as my two low pile area rugs.
And it's SO QUIET, which is great when, like us, you live in a multi-unit building.
Probably not the best vacuum for a fully carpeted apartment because of it's lack of a rolling-bristle-brush; but I couldn't be happier!

Purchased this Electrolux EL6984A about a month ago and use it almost daily. I already had 4 canister vacuum cleaners of different brands because I use one each for the upstairs, downstairs, basement and garage, and one needed to be retired. Our entire house (including finished full basement) has either solid wood or tile floors - with a lot of Persian rugs everywhere. I do not own a vacuum cleaner with a power brush head because I do not want to beat and scratch the wood floors. This Electrolux was designed to be used on solid floors and area rugs. It is very quiet, significant suction, lots of features and the build quality is outstanding. It was made in Hungary. It is far the best vacuum I now own and will be buying another one or two. The old vacuums will be given away.

Vita-Mix 1700 Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor Review

Vita-Mix 1700 Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor

It's not a blender - it's a Vita-Mix. The Vita-Mix TurboBlend 4500 is designed to render the full bioavailability of whole foods such as apples, strawberries, greens and more. This includes the leaves, peel, stem - where you find all the valuable fiber. The TurboBlend 4500 breaks down whole foods, releasing phytonutrients that help build the immune system, fight disease and improve overall health. The super-efficient 2-peak horsepower motor runs substantially cooler when mixing thicker ingredients like nut butters and frozen treats. It also processes fresh, whole foods in seconds to deliver superior taste and texture. The container is oversized, 64-ounce capacity made from Eastman Triton copolyester material that is virtually unbreakable, more chemical resistant and contains no BPA. Unit features a locking lid design for easy removal. A Healthy Lifestyle recipe book containing over 150 step-by-step recipes in full color in included. Vita-Mix 4500 is covered by a full 5-year warranty from the most trusted brand in high performance blending equipment.

Customer Reviews

I have tried juicing with juicers and had difficulty with processing some veggies ..... the Vita-Mix 1700 is great ... within minutes I have fresh OJ and it blends raw veggies like celery and ice cubes with ease. I do not know why I did not buy one sooner. I was kind of hesitant about spending $400 for a blender, but it is well worth the investment. I can finally juice easily and clean up is simple. Thank you Vitamix for such a quality product.

This Vita-Mix 1700 is the one we all thought we were buying years ago when we bought the name brand market blenders. My family uses this Vita-mix at least 3x daily for smoothies and raw foods. To date I have never heard it bog down, no matter what we put in it. One gets the feeling that the vita-mix could grind and blend pool balls without ever breaking a sweat. We also enjoy the tamping rod that comes with the unit. Plunging it through the opening in the lid, it is just the right length, so you never have to worry that you might hit the blades. Way recommended!

Krups FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, Black Review

Krups FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, Black

Krups high-speed quartz heating system takes masterful control of heat in the chamber. Each set of quartz heating element, both top and bottom, is alternately powered at the full 1600 watts to maximize the effect of radiant heat. The heat distribution is aided by a special reflective crumb tray that directs this important form of heat to all corners for excellent results. Convection heat, important for longer baking times, circulates heated air around the food for the best result in the fastest time. The defrost function uses the convection fan only and gently and evenly defrosts food without producing hot spots. This 6-slice toaster oven has temperature controls in 25 degree increments from 150-450 degrees, a digital timer from 1 minute to 90 minutes and an auto shut off after elapsed time. For toasting, it has 9 levels or browning with a countdown timer. Illuminated LCD control panel with easy to use controls and high quality soft touch buttons, it has a digital clock that displays when the cooking functions are not in use. The non-stick interior surface is durable and easy to clean. This unit includes a non-stick bake pan, broiling tray and thermal resistant tongs for safe removal of hot pans or food and comes with a 1-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

First of all, Krups FBC2 looks great. Second, it is very easy to use - the controls are intuitive and simple. Third, it does a great job. This sleek oven is minimalist in design, uses fast and efficient halogen lamps, and does a wonderful job on toast and basic oven stuff, including convection cooking. I am not affiliated with anybody that would care about such a glowing review, I just love this thing. I've been looking a long time for a nicely designed, functional toaster oven - trust me, this is the one. Highly, highly recommended.

I had read the reviews about this Krups FBC2 and they are what convinced me to give it a try. For years I have purchased inexpensive Black and Decker toaster ovens but this time I was looking for something a little bigger. I don't use the microwave anymore due to concerns that it kills the nutrients in foods so I wanted something smaller to heat up my meals that wouldn't use the energy that my regular oven does. This little oven cooks just a little slower than a microwave when the convection option is used. It is amazing. I have had to adjust the temperature down so that it doesn't cook too fast, as a matter of fact! I really love it. The only minor negative for me is that it is big enough to accommodate a corning casserole dish but not high enough for the lid. To remedy this I just put a piece of aluminum foil over it instead. The oven is sleek looking and doesn't take up too much room on the counter top. So far it seems to be a well made oven. I'm very pleased with my choce.

Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert

This Electric Fireplace Insert instantly brings your existing fireplace to life. It installs in minutes and plugs into any standard household outlet. You can turn the insert on or off with the included remote control from anywhere in the room. Insert size is 10.8" x 23.2" x 19.8" and weighs 34 lbs. The built-in heater distributes heat evenly and quietly.

Customer Reviews

We recently bought an 84 year old home with a VERY decrepit fireplace chimney. Dimplex DFI2309 had a gas free standing "looks like a real fire"stove that stuck out about three feet int6o the small front room. The fireplace it self is beautiful brick work so we did not want to tear it out. We tried various ways to make it utile and finally stumbled on the DIMPLEX. It is everything we were looking for. It fit perfectly and looks real. I mean it really looks like a fire is going. Plus it is a heater big enough to heat our little front room. it was easy to install and the delivery was VERY VERY fast! I am very impressed!

We have a beautiful stone Swedish fireplace in the living room that hasn't been used for years, in fact we used it to display artificial plants and flowers. I found this Dimplex DFI2309 on Amazon while searching encased units, so knowing Amazon'z return policy, I took a chance it would work in this situation. I am more than pleased with the unit and it fit perfectly inside the firebox. I can sit 90 degrees from the front of fireplace and it still looks very realistic. We had painted the firebox black years ago so you need to get within 4 or 5 feet to realize the unit is not part of the firebox.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack Review

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack

Want a roasting pan that works and is also beautiful? Well, this is that roasting pan! The Contemporary Stainless 16" roasting pan features tri-ply stainless construction with aluminum at its core for superior conductivity for perfect cooking results. The V-shaped roasting rack is easy to use and features a nonstick coating for easy cleanup. The beautiful and unique design is both functional and versatile. Plus, this makes the ultimate lasagna or casserole pan!

Customer Reviews

This pan is just the right size and weight for large roasts and turkeys. The clean up was easy and although it is dishwasher safe, per the use and care guide, I didn't find it necessary. I cook rib roasts using very high heat for 15 - 20 minutes depending on the number of ribs and then turn off the heat and let it set in the oven for a couple hours. The key to this working is even heat distribution and even loss of heat as the oven cools. It worked like a dream, no surprises. I have other Calphalon pots and pans and have been a fan for years - this is no exception - excellent!

I have roasted everything from vegetables to every kind of roast and poultry in this pan and it's the greatest. The handles are well placed - they don't take up space in the oven and they're very sturdy and easy to grip with oven mitts. I love that it's heavy enough to go right to the stove burner to deglaze or make gravy. It cleans up very easily - if you don't deglaze to make a sauce, simply put some hot water in the pan, turn up the burner and use a silicon spatula to "scrape" up the stuck on food. This pan performs like much more expensive models - I've used them all and this one is a great value.

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster Review

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster

The Breville 2 Slice Smart Toaster has an internal smart chip that lowers bread into the toasting slots with a single touch and also regulates the toasting time. On the "a bit more" setting bread is automatically lowered for additional toasting time. The auto lift and look feature automatically raises the bread carriage during toasting without canceling or resetting the cycle. This enables you to view, and if necessary, cancel the browning cycle at any time. The LED panel illuminates according to the selected setting on the variable browning control. The display acts as a toasting progress indicator, counting down how long is left in the toasting cycle. The toaster beeps when the cycle is complete. Made of brushed die-cast metal the exterior wipes clean with a soft cloth. The heating element is 900 watts. Two wide slots accommodate waffles, bagels or toast. Defrost, reheat, bagel and cancel functions. Complete with a Breville assist plug for easy cord removal and cord wrap storage underneath.

Customer Reviews

I always thought a Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster was just a toaster & I have owned dozens of toasters & used many others over the years. But, this thing rocks. It is an amazingly well thought out piece of machinery. It is so simple to use & works like a charm. Instructions not required. Leave it to the Aussies for design ingenuity & functionality. I highly recommend this for a two slice pop up toaster. (There is a four slice model as well.) Great features. This is well worth the price & has better features, functionality & quality, imo, than other far more expensive chi chi toasters from yesteryear that are still on the market or any other toasters I have ever used. I never would have thought that there could actually be a cool factor to a common toaster. Rock on Breville! Superb product.

We've had this Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster for about two months now and are very happy with it. It's sturdy construction and good looks are a plus, aside from the fact that it makes great toast. The bagel and defrost features work well and our guests get a kick out of the "a bit more" button, which comes in handy at times. The plug is a unique design as well, makes it easy to plug and unplug when necessary. After seeing this toaster in action, we haven't thought twice about the price.

Hoover U5786900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Hoover U5786900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagless upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. It uses three distinct air channels to lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA filter. Even more, it provides a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control, and a bottom-empty dirt container that helps keep hands clean. The unit also comes with fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, and a no-touch filter-cleaning system for enhanced performance, as well as a headlight and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 45 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

I am a 74 year old "Granny" who, in my lifetime, has owned just about every brand of vacuum made,so I feel I am well qualified to judge this vacuum. I have been using an Oreck upright and a top of the line Kenmore cannister vac. As soon as I received the vac, I naturally had to try it out immediately. First, I tried in on a 20' long by 3' wide hall runner. I vacuum this runner almost daily as my two cats love to sleep on it. I was SHOCKED at what this vacuum got out of this runner. I had to empty it before I was halfway down the hall. The runner now looks like new. I had the same experience with all the other rugs and carpets in my home. I am truly impressed and actually feel like everything is clean. The vac is very easy to push (it feels like it is self-propelled). I couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend this vac.

This Hoover U5786900 has a well thought out design. The hoses are on the side so they don't get in the way. The wheels are rubber, so they don't scratch the wood floor. The canister with the filter has a wheel you can turn that causes it to rub against an agitator to make the heavy dust fall off. The bottom of the canister opens, so the dust falls out easily. I love the green light/red light to let me know how clean the floor is. The canister comes in and out easily also. The vacuum also works very well suction-wise. It is not self-propelled, but has so much suction that it seems to take off by itself! I looked at a lot of vacuums with goofy designs - this one is designed well and works great.

Vornado EH1-0032-28 TouchStone 500 Vortex Full-Room Electric Heater Review

Vornado EH1-0032-28 TouchStone 500 Vortex Full-Room Electric Heater

The TouchStone Heater (TVH500) is new from Vornado! Our most premium heater, this room heater is constructed of steel and remains cool to the touch! The TVH 500 uses Vornado's signature vortex (tornado-like) circulation to quietly and evenly warm a room, from floor to ceiling in only minutes! Includes a remote control, easy-to-set timer and digital LCD screen to display current and set temp. Your family should feel safe with TouchStone's ¿ advanced Multi-Level Safety Protection, including a Tip Over Switch. Vornado Whole Room heaters use different technology than traditional space heaters. Vornado portable heaters use vortex action to effectively disburse heat evenly throughout the room, so you are surrounded in a blanket of warmth. A Vornado electric heater can warm the entire room in minutes! This is unlike most space heaters that heat the space directly in front of the heater leaving the rest of the room cold.

Customer Review

I bought the touchstone for my home office. It 'a decent space to heat, but I just wanted the space to heat rather than heating my house together. The Vornado does the job. Produces a good amount of heat fast enough. The room is pleasantly warm in minutes. Maybe about 10 minutes for a 10x12 room, with a maximum 8 '. The heater is fairly quiet, but I know there is not enough to disturb me while I'm working on. The remote display and digital are a bit 'useless. In retrospect I should have bought a unit that does not have these features, if I could save money. This unit is quite expensive. Works well, does the job, but is $ $ $.

We bought this radiator to the nursery for our son and it works fine. Its nest is warm but not too hot and the temperature is uniform throughout the room. Being able to set the room temperature is perfect for a nursery and more precise than the thermal power plant, which turns on / off depending on the temperature control in a corridor (which is often more hot / cold in my bedroom son). In addition, the vorando saves us money because we do not take the heat upstairs in the middle of all the rooms when we only need to heat in his room (the other bdrms are upstairs room).

Customer Reviews

Hoover has refined their bagged cannister vacuum, and this one tops an $800.00 competitor's I've given up on! The S3670 is a gorgeous lightweight powerhouse with a cord finally long enough to reach more than one room. The wand adjusts quickly and easily; ditto for the release from the Power Nozzle. I'm a petite gal and this vacuum follows me around like a pet poodle- no wrestling the hose to unkink it, either, because there's a 360 degree radius at the hose connection to the cannister. The motor is quieter than others I've owned, but doesn't sacrifice any power. I'm using a low setting for my carpets and am impressed with the results. Storage of the unit requires minimal space also. If this were a man, I'd marry it!

I don't know much or expect to learn much from vacuum, but I figured I'd pass my recent experience on...my cleaning lady had asked me to buy a canister vacuum so that she wouldn't have to lug hers up and down the stairs when she cleaned my place. She had told me to buy the Electrolux Oxygen, which in her opinion was great. After being turned off by the price and reading some of the reviews on-line for several hours, I decided to buy the Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition. I told the cleaning lady that I didn't get vacuum she wanted, but that I saved $200 and that I hoped that it worked out. In a delightful twist, after getting to use the new vacuum, she just called me to tell me she loves the vacuum and if I could order her one of these vacuums. That's worth 5 stars in my opinion.
