Wait for it to be ON SALE! Great Bargain! Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven I've been extremely lucky and very happy with my purchases that I've gotten from WHEN THERE IS A SUDDEN PRICE DROP/SALE.
I got this toaster for $19 and it arrived really fast with free Super Saver Shipping. Compared to my no-name cheap toaster oven that was on it's last leg, this is a GREAT TOASTER! I don't know about full retail ($35 or more), but if you catch it on sale, GO FOR IT. Great toaster for the price.

Works perfectly for my family of 4. I just replaced one after 1 year that probably could have gone for a couple more months. I've tried the Brita version 3 times because it was so much cheaper, but each time it plugs up within about 2.5 months. Don't waste your time on the Brita and just get the GE.

Aroma AWK-115S Hot H20 X-Press 1-1/2-Liter Cordless Water Kettle This is the best appliance I've purchased in years: simple, effective and ornamental. Highly recommended. I bought two -- one for work and one to use at home. POSTED AT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 08, 2010 1507 COMMENTS Glad to be a FORMER Bissell Proheat x2 carpet cleaner owner Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900 BELOW ARE PHOTO LINKS FOR PROOF OF CLEANING POWER! :) :)
My title says it all. I bought it a little over two years ago when it was the supposed "best of the best" according to a Best Buy associate. I am a former Bissell Proheat 2x owner and I disliked the machine because it was bulky, I found myself replacing side brushes within the first use, in which I had to pay about $25.00 US when I barely used it! The bag was difficult to clean, was heavy, hard to move around, held little detergent, had terrible suction power so the carpet would remain moist for at least 2 days, it was just an overall big headache. As if cleaning isn't a headache period! DO YOUR RESEARCH/READ FEEDBACK!: I did my mini research this time instead of listening to one good comment. I'd like to say it took me about an hour or so to decide I was going to get this Hoover steam vac to see what the 1,500+ and Best Buy 160+ review-fuss was about. TIME OF ARRIVAL (delivery): The Hoover steam vac arrived in its original manufacturer packaging. I quickly took it out and assembled it. It took me approximately 10 minutes or less to put it together. So not bad at all considering I have little patience for these things. It was so simple! DOWN TO BUSINESS (cleaning!): I obviously vacuumed before attempting to clean my off white colored carpeting. The target area was the living room because it contains the most traffic literally had BROWN dirt trails of people walking through. My old Bissell was able to remove some of the dirt, but you could see the trail. My mom would say "I think you just wet all the dirt and spread it all over evenly" (saying it didn't clean at all...lol). After vacuuming the area to be steam cleaned I began cleaning the carpet with the Hoover Steam Vac with Clean Surge. Once finished I was extremely impressed. First off, its suction of the water is out of this world! You see all the dirt just getting picked up as it were a fresh spill. Yes my dirty collection tank was black, but it did not take me that many passes to get the dirt out! I forgot to mention I have two dogs. I recently got a puppy who likes to pee on my carpet. There were previous pee stains from my old dog that were visible even after I cleaned it with my old Bissell steam vac. Furthermore, with this new steam vac the old and new pee stains are gone. I can't begin to explain how good of a cleaner this is. I don't like writing long reviews, but all you guys were right. I am very glad I went on here () and BestBuy.com to read over the reviews of the pros and cons. I literally took pictures of the carpet before and after. This is just a piece of the living room: BEFORE: [...]. AFTER: [...]. (copy paste the link to a new browser tab or open in new window) Again my carpet was an off-white/beige color, that had black trail marks from heavy traffic, pee stains that were cleaned before, but still visible. Now my carpet almost looks new! Judge for yourself look at the photos! My hat goes off to Hoover. This is the best steam vac I've ever owned. Very happy customer here sharing the results with everyone. Enjoy! PROS: - not heavy - good detergent and water collection tank size ** For those complaining about the collection tank or the detergent tank being too small. Think about it, if either tank were bigger the machine would be so much heavier. Then those same people would complain about weight. I feel the tank sizes are just fine! - suction power is excellent! Within 2 hours! (windows open & doors open). - the price tag. Half the cost of my old Bissell! CONS: - the detergent is a tad too price'y (at least to me it is) so I went ahead and used the Home Depot cleaner called ZAPP Professional for high traffic for $8.00. Worked like a charm. On the vacuum itself says to avoid using detergents other than the Hoover, because it may cause too much foaming. Well of course they would say that! They want you to buy theirs! Not to worry Zapp is great! I even added a little bleach and there was no foaming. - The collection tank (of dirty water) sits directly above the motor and wiring. Never know *buzzZz* might get shocked? I'm just a paranoid person. - no heating! Problem solved... I just fill the tank with hot water every time :) POSTED AT SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 05, 2010 266 COMMENTS Just what I wanted Brita 35503 Pitcher Replacement Water Filter Cartridges, 3-Pack exactly what I needed and it came almost overnight. Very pleased and will never buy them anywhere else again. Can't beat the price. POSTED AT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 08, 2010 1975 COMMENTS Strong suction Hoover Tempo Widepath Upright Vacuum, Bagged, U5140-900 I don't know what the previous version of this vacuum cleaner was like, but the one I received works as it should. Actually, it has better suction than the one I replaced which was the expensive gear driven version of the same cleaner.
I do not vacuum hard floors (I broom and mop them) and have never tried to use a vacuum cleaner on them, so no loss there. Even if this is less than it used to be, it is still a great value at under $80.00. The cord could be longer, and routing the cord on the hangers is a bit clumsy but gets done. A word to the wise: To extend the life of the roller as long as possible, keep the setting at a point that does not pull the vacuum forward to much, as this is nothing more than the roller brushes hitting the carpet. POSTED AT SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 2010 45 COMMENTS Good Value Black & Decker CHV9608 9.6 Volt Cyclonic-Action Cordless DustBuster with AccuREACH We previously owned a black & decker dustbuster before this one. They work great for about 3 years if you use them a lot like we do. The battery usually starts charging less and less over time. They are not ment to last long term and you cant just buy a new battery. For the price it fits the use you get out of it. This one is cool because it has a washable filter. This is great for many reasons. You dont have to buy extra filters which can be expensive unless you find them for a great deal on ebay but also because they stop making the models after a year or two and it can be a challenge to find the replacement filters. This one is also cool with the extendable hose which makes it easy to get under small hard to reach places. POSTED AT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 07, 2010 484 COMMENTS Simple and efficient Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender, Brushed Chrome I bought the Cuisinart Csb-76 handblender after checking other reviews.
I use it primarily to puree baby food. It works great. Very sharp. Easy to use. Purees well. Easy to clean because the bottom half detaches and is submersible. Only downside is that it's best to rinse it immediately after using it or else it's hard to wash out the food from near the blades without cutting one's self. The cup that comes with it is just the right size to make an entire icecube tray worth of baby food. POSTED AT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 08, 2010 761 COMMENTS Awsome little vac! Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum I got this vac to keep up with the mess around my wood stove and I gotta say I'm glad I did. I really like that the brush turns on or off and the hose with a crevice tool,along with it being very lightweight make this vac versatile and very handy. The suction is excellent and the filter easy to remove and wash. I've even used it to clean my car,as the portability makes it easy to use for that as well. I highly recommend this vac!

It is light weight and one of the best features is the retractable cord, it makes it much more easy to storage. 1 - 5796 |
