Global Distinctions Buy-One-Get-One-Free Ottoman Set, Black

These cube sized ottomans are just as advertised. They are a lovely deep dark brown, and although they don't weigh much, they do the job nicely. The storage cube is great for use to store games and odds and ends and I could see how the tray could come in handy sometime. The smaller ottoman works well in front of our love seat. We are very happy with the purchase. read more..

Lasko 754200 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

It's very effective and heats up the room fast.
The only downside is the noisy fan (hence 4 stars). But it seems like my 10 months old twins are already used to the noise, so I guess I have nothing really to complain about. read more..

Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Blueberry Casserole

this was an added extra, so I did not really care about it. However, my wife has been using it to bake many delectable dishes for my son. Nice surprise! read more..

Swissmar Hand-Held Muddler #00311

While it's excellent in all other aspects, it is just too short for a usual boston style glass tumbler, or a collins glass, or a pint glass for that matter. It's good for a rocks glass but I don't do much muddling in that kind of glass.

The macerating end does its job well when it can reach what you want, and I have found a use for this in crushing tomatos for bruschetta. (Saves c read more..

Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floors Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner

After much research and deliberation, we took advantage of a sale and 20% BB&B coupon and got this for under $300. I find it brilliantly engineered and designed. It is all plastic but what vacuum isn't? Assembly and use is intuitive enough that instructions aren't needed (good thing since you don't get much). Emptying canister is a breeze and much more sanitary than our old Eureka uprights or Sh read more..

KitchenAid SSA Sausage Stuffer Kit Attachment for Food Grinder

The product works as expected, however I would not reccomend it for commercial use as it's a very time comsuming process. read more..

Lysol by Conair SM10LR Steam Cleaning Mop, Blue

for the price, this cleans floors fine. it is much better than using a dirty mop. read more..

Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

We love this handheld vac so much! We use it all the time and have had it over one year now and it has not lost suction. I found that with the KONE and other dust buster type vacs, the machines just push the mess around - like the vacs blow the items, do not suck them up. It's worth the price and if you get it at Bed Bath & Beyond you save $30 with the 20% off coupon!!! That's what we did :) My fi read more..

Hunter 90021 Century 12-Inch Performance Oscillating Fan

a lot of air. It is so powerful that its lowest setting blows plenty of air. The drawback to this is that it's kind of noisy, which I expect is because it's all metal, as opposed to plastic, which most fans are made of. I don't mind the noise too much because it's a nice hum.

It is also gorgeous, which is the main reason I got it. I have it sitting proudly in my living room, and it's read more..

5 pack of Litter Locker Plus Refill Cartridge

I used to think these were the greatest, and then summer time came. I live in Colorado. Summer's are pretty temperate, but if the temperature in you house every rises to 80, these are no longer effective at trapping odor. In fact they really smell. And the smell gets trapped in the plastic of the litter locker itself. And it just keeps smelling. Otherwise, these are great for 3/4 of the year read more..

Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker

Solid feel and good finish on this machine. Performs well, and is able to make better sorbets and ice-creams than old-style maker with ice and rock salt. Batch size is reasonable, and can make several batches back-to back just fine. Only real downside is the noise - agin, quiter than our ice-and-rck salt machine, but still quite noisy. Overall, very happy with this machine to date, but might ju read more..

Cuisinart TOB-165 Convection Toaster Oven/ Broiler, White

The good is it is exactly what I had been looking for. I have never had a "Toaster" that worked well. This appliance does great.

The bad is that the instructions are terrible. We had to figure out how the thing works by trial and error (not to difficult). Also, it is a pain to clean read more..

Deluxe 100% Cotton Damask Stripe Mattress Pad, Queen

This was exactly what I wanted. Fit the bed perfectly even though I have a pillow top. Love it. Totally worth the price. read more..

Chef's Choice 300W Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener, White

very easy to operate, sharpens well. Everything I wanted and priced just right for the home chef. read more..

KitchenAid KMTT400SS 4-Slice Metal Toaster, Brushed Stainless Steel

I am real happy with this toaster. I toasts nicely. The "warm" cycle does what it says, heats the bread back up with only a slight additional toasting. I love the "bagel" setting. One side toasted, the other side heated, with just a light toast. The negative, it does take longer to toast bread, but the resulting product is worth waiting for. I would definitely buy this toaster again and would reco read more..

Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Backpack Bottle, Espresso

I purchased several of these handy thermoses:
* Durable stainless steel body
* Plastic cap with push-button "click" spring design and removable interior silicone (replaceable caps through Thermos/Nissan)
* Leakage is occasional, but this usually happens with over-filling the thermos
* Body is easy to clean, but cap has hard-to-reach corners and small (open) compartments read more..

Espalma 700 Cotton Bath Towel - Yellow

The white espalma 700's are amazing. I also ordered the blue and sand and they are not nearly as soft. They are still great towels, but certainly different from the white ones... read more..

Bissell 3596 CleanView Revolution Deluxe Upright Bagless Vacuum

I purchased the Bissel 3596 over 1 year ago and it still works great. I have 2 cats, large home with stairs and this thing does it all. I am not easy on this thing either, it has tumbled down the stairs now twice and has never broken.

I use it on the hardwoods for a quick cleaning, the carpet, stairs, then take the hose off attach the handheld and I am under the refrigerator or unde read more..

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

this thing is sweet. the flavor of the coffee really comes through well. fast and easy to use, fun! def. recommended read more..

iRobot 5800 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot

It's a wonderful way to make mopping without human's efforts.
The good time for using of the Scooba is then we are going out from the home.
It has a good navigation and cleans more time in the especial dirt places.

But I got it with relative weak battery, and it took a lot of time to recharge the battery.

R H. Forschner by Victorinox 6-Piece 4-1/ 2-Inch Wavy Edge Steak Knife Set, Blac

These are great knives. Not the best looking, but will do at the dinner table. Great for the money. I have several of their knives. read more..

Dirt Devil Vibe Quick Vac - M084500V

For the price this is a great little vac and I was impressed. I bought it to supplement my Dyson,which I do love for my carpets, but I wanted something I could keep on the main floor for quick vacs as I have all wood,tile and scatter rugs on that level. I own 7 furry critters and 3 birds that throw seed everywhere so quick vacs are needed.

I was thrilled with how it vac'd my scatte read more..

Chef's Choice M677SSG Cordless Electric Kettle-Stainless Steel Gray

I like:
- The stainless still design
- Boils the water quickly
- Round base - easy put back on base from any direction

I don't like:
- The cover cannot be detached - inconvenient to fill water or clean
- The water level indicator is behind the handle - difficult to see

Summary:
Does the job very well and also looks good, slightly inco read more..

Factory Reconditioned Cuisinart DBM-8FR Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill

I've had it for a couple of weeks now.
I replaced a nice capresso blade grinder which was starting smell like motor failure after about 5 seconds.

Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of the product and the output. Much of this thing will go in the dishwasher once it's time to clean.

This grinder is so loud that I have changed my morning routine a littl read more..

Cuisinart TTG-500 Two-to-Go Coffeemaker

I really enjoy this little machine - it brews fresh coffee right into my mug (no pot to wash), fits neatly and unobtrusively on my counter and holds enough water to make 2 cups if needed. My only reservation is that the coffee isn't extremely hot - not enough of an issue for me to stop using it, but especially noticeable if milk or cream are added...I sometimes need to reheat the mug before I've read more..

Richard Simmons EST7 Steam-Heat Electronic Food Steamer

What I love? The horizontal placement of the bowls (instead of one that stacks on top of the other), the ability to set different time settings for each bowl, and the synchronized timing of all bowls to finish the cooking cycle at the same time. I cook in bulk a lot and this steamer makes that process very time efficient. It is user friendly as far as programing times for each bowl.

Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-At-A-Time Coffeemaker, White

This product is exactly what you would expect. It is compact, easy to use, easy to clean, and makes good coffee quickly. And, I like the permanent filter, saves time (and money) over the paper ones. The only problem I had is that my coffee mugs were too big to fit. My mugs are slightly larger (4 1/4") and they don't fit. I had to purchase a regular sized mug, which was no big deal, it would j read more..

Bissell 5200 Flip-It Bare Floor Cleaner

Like many, I was stuck with this big old cleaner that left pools of water on my floor, however I made a couple of accomodations and my floor is shining clean. The thing doesn't suck up much water for sure. That little teeny tiny cloth on the bottom is too small, so I used the larger cloths that are made for the shark steamer. I believe you can purchase them separately. They velcro right on and read more..

Bergan Turbo Scratcher Replacement Pads (2-pack - Replacement Pads)

My cats are so happy with their Turbo Cat Scratcher pads! They play for hours with that toy. Between the scratcher pads that keep them off
the furniture, they have fun chasing the built in ball that travels around the circular track. I am so glad to have finally found the replacements to keep my kitties happy. read more..

Cuisinart DGB-600BCW Grind-and-Brew Thermal 10-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, White
