Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter

A Nice Backup, But
This thing does what it says it will. As others have said, it is sort of flimsy. I used gourmet, ground coffee (dark) as my test coffee. It honestly tasted pretty watered down, and I would say the results are unspectacular compared to a Mr. Coffee or even the Green Mountain Dark Magic or Double Black Diamond -- my k-cup du jour.

If you like strong coffee and don't want to use k-cups, read more..
Dog Dazer II - Ultrasonic Dog Repeller and Trainer

I am a Postal Carrier
I am a postal carrier and purchased the dazer as a first line of defense against dogs. I easily see over 100 dogs a day and when a dog barks at me, I hit the dazer.

I have nearly worn out the battery testing this little device. I cover many routes and have tested this device over 1000 times (easily). It has worked tail-tucking-excellent on only 4 dogs. It will stop about 50% of all do read more..
Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum

Eureka 4870GZ Boss upright vacuum
Seems to suck up dirt very well. A bit heavy and the mechanism used to disengage the vacuum from an upright position is very stiff and difficult to work. read more..
Pike Street Fleece Queen Sheet Set, Floral Garden

Acceptable quality for $7
I bought this set here at Amazon on sale for $7 and some odd cents. It is well worth the price, however I wouldn't pay too much more. They are of decent quality and the floral print isn't as bad in person as in the pic online. They are soft, comfy and warm. I couldn't ask for more at the price I paid. I am pleased with my purchase and if they go onsale again for this low of a price I will definite read more..
DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized Boiler

A spitter
Our first boiler type steam iron (EuroPro) finally stopped after 14 years of use. I bought this one as a reasonably priced replacement. I use reverse osmosis water in it even though they say you can use tap water. After the first 2 months of use is has begun to spit water pretty much all the time. I called the authorized Delonghi service shop here and as he put it "Delonghi is overpriced crap" read more..
Oster 5712 Electronic 2-Tier 6.1-Quart Food Steamer

food steamer
The steamer was not quite what I expected. The cooking times needed were alot longer than I wanted. I gave the steamer to my daughter-in-law who felt that she would like to try it. read more..
Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System

easy and quick
Only started using it but I like not cleaning up a big mess-only a little one read more..
Hamilton Beach 33134 3-in-1 Slow Cooker with 2-, 4-, and 6-Quart Crocks

Too Hot on Low Setting
I filled the 6 qt. pot about 2/3 full, set it on Low, and then pushed the 6 qt button. I checked on it after 2-3 hours, and could see that the food was literally boiling! I plan to return this item. A slow cooker without a reliable Low setting is of limited value to me. read more..
Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor

Too much waste
The Breville makes beautiful juice, but there is more than 50% waste by weight. I wish I had researched more. I now have a Breville for sale for someone who wishes only juice and no fiber. For this the product is lovely. I ended up purchasing another product where there is NO waste, with all the fruit/vegetables being processed. I am much happier with that, and figure that the savings in fruit read more..
BUNN NHBX-B Contemporary 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black

makes good coffee but....
Coffee maker makes good coffee but the carafe is flawed. One must pour very slowly to keep coffee from spilling as the lip is too shallow for normal pouring. read more..
Aqua Globes Watering Bulbs 2-pk.

They are just okay
I purchased these in a set and got 4 of them. They are a pain to fill but they do water the plant. The problem is the water is gone in a matter of hours to a day depending on which globe I filled. The reason is they are hand blown and the size of the tubes vary so some release faster than others. If you get a good one then you probably love them. Mine however release fairly quickly. They stil read more..
Norpro 5 1/ 2-Inch Stainless Steel Funnel with Detachable Strainer

I agree with the others here...
What can you say about a funnel? It works, even if it is a bit expensive for what it is. As others have said, the strainer is a bit on the course side, but a coffee filter wrapped around it seems to take care of the filtration issues. Had this been $5-6 I would have given it 4 stars instead of 3. read more..
DII Two-Tone Set of 4 Placemats, Herb

placemats
Items were as advertised, shrunk a good bit with first washing but still good size and useful. good color, quick delivery read more..
Dyson DC15 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Obviously built by a man
This is a good vacuum but difficult to use. The only real animal hair thing about it is the very large attachment mainly to be used on furniture. It is very hard to use the stick because you have to totally unwrap the wire, pull out the stick attach it to the hose and then use it. Also it has absolutely no edge power. It leaves an obvious 1 inch mark where it just doesn't "suck". So you do hav read more..
Whitney Design Pop-Up Nylon Hamper, Betsy Butterfly

fine for kids room
it holds a week's worth of my two boys' clothes (ages 2 and 4) - not the most durable so don't let your kids play with it (they do try - the lion is very tempting!). it adds nice decor to a child's room - for the price it's definitely worth it read more..

Zoo Med The Big Dripper

The Big Dripper
A dripper is something that is a must have if you own a chameleon most reptiles will not drink standing water so it is important that you have running water that does not collect bacteria like a waterfall.

That being said the big dripper does its job. From my experience the big dripper is hard to control when you have the rubber hose connected to it so I just let it drip straight from read more..
Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender, Brushed Chrome

Great, but non-reparable
I got the SmartStick and it was great for all my soups, smoothies, and sauces, but one day, I thought I had clicked the motor half into the blade half, but apparently it wasn't in well enough because it completely stripped the plastic bit in the motor half. When I called an appliance repair shop, they told me that they do not make a repair piece because it was made in China. SO I had to pitch the read more..
Sango Concepts Avocado 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

Ok - a bit heavy
I'm enjoying this set but have some reservations about buying more. They are a bit heavy. Overall the set is well made and can withstand a couple of blows. read more..
Mark Feldstein VL8 Charging Valet, Satin Black

Docking station
Well, it was broken when we opened but it was an easy fix. It also lacked the knob that was shown in the picture. It looks very attractive and makes my husband's corner of the kitchen look neat and organized. It keeps all the cords for phones and blackberry organized and hidden. I am very pleased with the purchase. read more..

Magic Bullet Deluxe 22 Piece Set

Next time I'll buy a blender
Although this product does have it uses, there are so many pieces and parts. I have only used three pieces since I have used it and the rest I just got rid of. I don't see why you wouldn't buy a blender. read more..
Norpro Bread Slicer with Crumb Catcher

Knew what I was getting into
While this item was exactly what was discribed, its enability to change the slicing width makes for very large slices. So if you want just a little bread, don't have a sandwitch. read more..
Ewins Cast Iron Square Umbrella Stand - Verdi Gras

Good product but misleading photo
Product is sturdy. Shipped on scheduled. Design is as shown. However, the color is much greener than the picture that is online. I looked at it on several monitors before ordering too. It is not even close to being black. I would recommend the photo be updated. read more..
Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Black

get the Mr. Coffee NLX5 model instead!
My mom has a Mr. Coffee NLX5 4-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, which we all love!

I made the mistake of buying this model instead. The flip up top causes water and condensation to accumulate inside the top. And, trying to re-insert the carafe back cannot be accomplished, unless you flip the top up -- which you cannot do if it still making coffee. read more..
KitchenAid Citrus Juicer

Didn't Even Last a Year
I bought this because it was heavy grade steel and looked like it would last longer than plastic. I used it nearly every day for limes and it actually cracked before a year. All I can say is if you live in the northern part of the US and have rock hard limes a third of the year I don't think anything can stand up to that. If you just use it occasionally or you live in an area where you have acces read more..
Oxo Good Grips Cherry Pitter

OXO cherry pitter ok
I purchased this particular product because it was endorsed by a cooking magazine. It is fairly easy to use and cleans easily, but I didn't expect it to leave such a large hole in what you were pitting. The other thing I don't care for is the "splash guard" frequently comes off during the pitting process. I will continue to use this product because it's better than nothing. read more..
Euro-Pro Shark S3101 Electric Steam Mop

expensive solution to a basic problem
If you value fast drying time, the Shark is a good item for you. If you want a clean, shiny floor, then save a few bucks and use a regular mop.

The key advantage of the Shark compared with a regular mop is drying time. Because it uses steaming hot water, the floor dries almost immediately. Family members can walk on the floor right away, and the mopper does not have to plan his exit f read more..
Braun Brita Patented KWF 2 Water Filter (2-Pack)

It does what it's supposed to do.
As with most custom water filters, this one is expensive. Basically, it's the same marketing strategy as for printer cartridges. The printer is cheap; the ink will kill you. read more..
