~ September 4, 2010 ~ Coffee Lover from Los Angeles, CA said:Small furminator works on chi-shi dog.
I bought this as a gift for my friend's tiny dog. He's about 6 lbs. He's half chihuahua and shih tzu but his hair is like chihuahua and sheds way too much all year round. I wanted to see if this furminator works on small dogs because some people say it doesn't while others say it does. I gotta say, it definitely works! The small furminator actually works and I'm very very impressed. So impressed that I went and bought the large one for my other friend's dog, german shepherd. of course, this price is the lowest of the low. Even though a newer model came out, the local pet stores still carry this older version with a $40 price tag. C'mon! Go buy this furminator before it's gone from amazon.
~ September 4, 2010 ~ Denver Girl from denver, CO said:It's not the be all end all, but it really isn't bad
Okay, some of the reviews on this site say the furminator is junk, others love it. I am right in the middle. First of all, I would probably be less happy if I paid retail for this product. But I got it for $29 with a free bottle of shampoo, so that was okay. I have two german shepherd dogs, a regular and a long hair. This product works great on the shorter haired dog, taking out gobs of his fluffy undercoat. It works better than a slicker brush, and about as well as a newer horse shedding blade. The thing is, it doesn't get dull after a short amount of time like the horse shedding blade will, and the hair is a cinch to grab off the furminator blade so it is easier to dispose of. The product works equally well on the undercoat of my long haired dog BUT, it actually CUTS the hairs on her beautiful topcoat as well. So now she's got cowlicks galore. I am just glad that I did not use it on her beautiful fluffy tail. So you will need to see if this product works well on your individual dog's coat. I think they offer a money-back guarantee, so be sur to save your receipt!
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Connie Bertrand said:Great price for a great tool
A great price for a great toll. I used to pay 20.00 just to add the furminator to the grooming. It is easy enough to use, and I pocket the savings
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Leslie Ohl from Buffalo, New York, US said:The best tool I have found so far!
Borrowed the smaller version of the FURminator from a friend and loved it! Went to look for it in a pet store and realized that they were VERY expensive so I checked on-line and found it at Amazon for a fraction of the price (80% off the retail price in the store!).
The FURminator is so much better than a regular dog brush...the fine comb gets under the top layer of fur to the undercoat and does a fabulous job of deshedding while not too abrasive to the dog's skin. I'm not sure that it eliminates 90% of my dog's shedding as the package suggests but it is nonetheless a worthwhile tool and glad I have one!
~ September 3, 2010 ~ E. Banks said:AWESOME! MUST BUY
We have a short haired border collie/smooth collie mix. This gets a ton of loose hair out of her that we had no idea was there (until we saw it all over the couch). This is a MUST BUY for ANY dog owner. You'll never know how much hair your dog sheds until you buy this.

love it! Works better than any toaster oven I've ever had. The best thing is that deal amazon gave me was better than any other we site a i checked and way better than any brick and mortar store-incl! Walmart, Target , and Costco!
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Sandman said:Throws off way too much heat
This may be a fine toaster oven for the money. I won't know because I'm returning it after just one use (per the instructions, I set it to 350 degrees and let it heat for 15 minutes to burn off manufacturing oils prior to cooking). That was enough for me. The body of this toaster oven, especially the top, gets way too hot. So hot, in fact, that it heats up my kitchen more than my regular oven does. And frankly, I'm concerend about it being a fire hazard. There is, in fact, a warning printed across the top that reads CAUTION HOT SURFACE. This thing is obviously not insulated. Also, the ticking timer is annoying to the nth degree. Way too loud. Try watching TV or having a conversation with what sounds like a loud time bomb ticking away for 15 or 20 minutes. It can be clearly heard in the next room. Just a dumb, dumb design. I don't care if it cooks well or not. Back to Amazon it goes.
~ September 1, 2010 ~ Michael Berkeley from Herndon, Virginia United States said:Works but gets really hot on the outside.
The controls on this are pretty easy to use, but it doesn't have good insulation. The top and back of the unit get hot enough to burn. Because of this I would not use this toaster oven with children around.
You also need lots of space around the toaster oven to ensure you don't heat up anything else by accident.
~ September 1, 2010 ~ Miranda from PA said:Without a doubt, the best!
After trying other (more expensive) toaster ovens, I ordered this one. It's absolutely perfect. The toast now has the texture of toast instead of overly-baked bread. It's very easy to use and it's compact. I should know to stick with Black & Decker from this point on!
~ August 31, 2010 ~ Marilena from Northern VA said:Not like they used to be....
Purchased to replace a much loved, older B&D toaster-oven that had lost its door handle and was beginning to look dingy. This newer model, while the price was right, the settings are more complicated that need be. Plus I hate having to use a windup timer for toasting. After over a month using it, I still under-cook - or burn - toasts, bagels, etc. The oven part seems to be pretty accurate for temperature and the larger space is great. Re construction: the internal groove where the slide-in tray fits is slightly off on one side which causes the tray to be misaligned. Hardly noticeable but there nevertheless. Made in China!

~ September 3, 2010 ~ Niwrka Pickard from Gulfport, MS USA said:Best refill system
Love the Diaper Genie, it is one of the best inventions ever I have never had an smell of any kind coming from my diaper Genie, and of course this kind plastic that blocks odors helps a lot with that, while my baby is using diapers I'll be using my diaper genie, this has a price, but Is worth it! the best I did suscribe and save to get my refills on time and at the best possible price!
~ August 26, 2010 ~ Sandoval said:Seals out odors
This refill (x3) offered a good discount. The Diaper Genie II seals out well odors from the diapers. Recommended. A must have in your nursery.
~ August 19, 2010 ~ A. Gross said:Does the job, but not enough offered for the price.
The diaper genie is a must have for disposal of smelly diapers. The bags work as they should and contain odors as they should. The one issue I have is that each of the refills only seems to last for a few 'pail-fulls' before needing to be replaced. For the price, I would expect them to last longer or give you more 'bag for your buck'.
~ July 25, 2010 ~ M. Paris said:Love this product
seriously, none of the smell comes out of the diaper pail. I know some think this is an unecessary expense but it really does keep the smell in the pail. my baby is breastfed so far and the poop doesn't really smell horrific. I change the bag every 3-4 days when it's full and the smell does not seep thru. Would recommend to everyone.
~ July 11, 2010 ~ Mrs. Ross said:Get the Subscription
I got this item on the "subscribe and save" It's much cheaper and convenient than running out and buying it whenever we're low. And I didn't realize just how often you need to empty the diaper pail.
Is it silly to use a product that needs it's own refill? That is a matter of opinion, but so far, I really like this product, it does keep the stinky diaper smell in. Once your Baby starts eating solids, you'll need to empty it out more often on a regular basis. It's not magical (despite having the word "genie" in it's title), but it does keep the smell at bay.

Finally a water filter system for the frig that doesn't make aa mess, force you to move out your frig just a quick easy change out of the water filters. Anyone can do it. My only compaint is the filters are expensive but the end results is good tasting water and ice cubes. The shipper was FAST so we had our filters quickly.

We love that one size lid fits on several different sizes. A good range of sizes for leftovers as well as packing lunches.

These store very compactly. It is a lot easier when you have a uniform set for storage purposes clean and unclean. theyu have cleaned up nice and easy, but I havent put ketchup in them yet.so that would be the real test. they are aLSO BPA Free which is what you need when storing food.I wish they include a bigger size container which is sold separately. I was kind of mad from amazon because the price dropped almost 30% after I purchased them they should have a price adjustment policy for purchases within 10 days or 30 days period come on you guys! I was so fed up with the mess in my container drawer that I decided to get rid of all those nasty locking mechanism container that gather mold and take forever to assemble after washing them . I take them apart when I wash them because otherwise they will gather mold. you can store them in a corner of the drawer with the cover, they all fit inside each other and many use the same size cover. One problem I have though is if I loan them out, I may never get them back.
~ August 31, 2010 ~ Keksa23 said:Stack nicely, good quality (BPA Free!)
One of the main reasons I decided to buy this plastic container set is because (voila) it is BPA Free. Definitely important to me, as I already have plenty of plastic containers at home I intend to eventually toss and thought a matching set would be nicer.
I deducted a star because I was slightly dissapointed at the fact that there are so many SMALLER containers in this set that really couldn't fit much expect spices, etc...this could possibly be good for people with smaller babies, or elderly or pets who need pureed food in small amounts. Nice and convenient.
Overall I like this set and would recommend it for purchase to others, as long as you read (didn't do this myself) beforehand, the sizes of containers that are included in this box.
The containers stack nicely as well as the lids. We are a family of 5, and yet I don't know if someone actually needs this much tupperware out at once? (particularly with the smaller containers).
Bottom line, if you need new tupperware, this is a nice price to get BPA Free tupperware at (got free shipping and paid $10.47)

This is the most amazing tool ever. I would recommend it to anyone needing a cat brush. My cats seem to have extra fur that ends up all over me too but the thing is simply awesome. If you have any questions, forget them and just buy it! You wont be sorry.
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Kim said:wow!
This brush is incredible! It really does work like it shows in the infomercials. My only complaint is that the hair flies everywhere when you brush the cat. My cat is an indoor cat, and is very skiddish, so can't be taken outside. I think if I could take her outside to brush her, I'd be happier. Now I just have to vacuum the whole room after I use the brush on her. She loves getting brushed by it, and runs to me when she sees me pick it up. I can't believe how much hair comes off!
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Orah said:Cats can't stand it
Although the furminator works, my cats hate when I use it. They don't like the feel of it and it was a waste of money. If your cats don't like it, you can't use it.
~ September 1, 2010 ~ S. Fine from Carroll County, MD USA said:BEST DESHEDDER
I only give this 4 stars soley because of the price; Amazon had the best price, but it was still a bit steep. This tool worked better than anything else. I had been using a flea comb strategically angled, and that worked until it got old for the cat, who let me know when she'd have enough. A brush was useless, and those mitts and wire "slickers" were laughable.
When I started using the FURminator, I was ready for a fight; but my kitty did not seem to mind, and I was able to remove handfuls of loose hair in a short period of time. My cat looks and feels better!
~ September 1, 2010 ~ J man from Seattle said:Great comb for our cat!
The price on this was absolutely fantastic. I went to the local pet store and this was selling for about 40-50 dollars.
While I did not get as much hair as some of the pictures, it gave us a few handfuls from our cat.
Great product, make sure to brush softly!

Seemed to have lots of good reviews and we liked the way it looked. We have used it every day and it is very fast and it is everything we had hoped it would be. Very pleased!
~ September 3, 2010 ~ Jason Visser from Los Angeles, CA said:It heats up water, but is noisy and VERY hot on the outside.
As a kettle, it heats up water quickly and stays clean, which are both great things to have. Sadly, in our one bedroom apartment (kitchen is in the same room as the "living" space), the noise generated while heating water usually means we have to pause whatever we are watching and it is difficult to hold a conversation without yelling. It's not terrible or anything, but just louder than expected. Also, the all metal construction of the container area looks great and stays clean, but definitely is not "safe" to touch and you have to be careful with it, as it gets extremely hot when boiling water.
Still it functions well as a kettle. Good switch, turns off automatically after boiling, nice measure down the side, solid lid, pours well.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ Lily from Oregon, USA said:GREAT Thing
I had a plastic one, and I brought it to my office. I bought this for my home, and I love it. It is a little bit more expensive than my old one, but it works great, looks great. I just love it. If you are considering an electrical kettle, it is the one you should choose.
~ August 31, 2010 ~ fa said:great kettle
the metal is shiny. works very well. It needs 20s to auto-off after water begins to boil.
The handle will not get too hot after the water is boiled, which is not the case for my last kettle.
~ August 29, 2010 ~ Victoria Hall said:Aroma awk- nice quality
I was so happy with this that I wanted to let people know. I love that it is so simple, that it turns off automatically, and that the kettle detaches from the base. However, the metal does get very hot, just like a stovetop kettle would, so common sense precautions are needed. Also, it is not quite as fast as my mother's alternate model, but I would rather avoid the health risks of toxins getting out from heated plastic, so I'll stick with stainless steel. I received this kettle as a birthday gift, and I have used it nearly every day since then! I can't believe that I waited so long to use a product like this- it is so much easier and faster than boiling water on the stove! I haven't noticed any bad odors or tastes. The product is sturdy and it doesn't take up too much room.

~ September 3, 2010 ~ Mary Wells said:good simple scale
I was pretty shady on whether to buy this or not- its cheap and the reviews were alright. I did notice that this scale is also sold directly by Amazon and not just from a merchant. Amazon havnt steered me wrong yet so i figured why the hell not and so far, i've been pretty happy with it. mine seems pretty accurate but i havnt had a chance to use it very much. i'll post updates as I use it over time.
~ September 3, 2010 ~ B. Tran from Austin, TX USA said:Beautiful, Stopped working after 15 minutes
I received this scale after buying it at a low price. Wow, what a beautiful scale! The glass really is featured here and it's a big thick gorgeous slab of glass on top of a less nice plastic electronics housing. When I first used it, I was impressed by the speed that it started reading weight and narrowed down on a number, although through multiple measurements one after the other, I found that the measurements weren't very consistent (standard deviation of about 1.5 pounds for my weight). At this point, I was extremely pleased, and i placed it in a corner I had set aside for it beneath my sink. "What a great product!" I thought as I left for the evening to meet with some friends
I was wrong.
When I came home after my night's activities, I was welcomed to a blue glow emanating from my bathroom that would cycle on and off every five or ten seconds. It was the scale, freaking out for I don't know what reason and wearing down the batteries that came with. Thinking it was an input recognition issue, I tried standing on it to no avail, and after removing the batteries and replacing it in an attempt to defibrillate, I found that the scale (or the batteries, i had no other ones on hand) had flat-lined.
Bottom Line: The design is gorgeous--period--, even moreso for the price, but faults in either quality control or design removes all of its usefulness. I'm really disappointed, I really wanted it to work.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ Angela Mickelsen from North Carolina, USA said:Elite Series Scale
Amazon screwed up on my order and had it sent to the wrong address. It took me almost three whole weeks to get my order, but only after I had to call Ozeri. I finally received my scale and its decent. Weights on par with my old scale and all, but honestly, not wroth three weeks of wait for me.
~ September 1, 2010 ~ Jen Atlase from Haverford, PA USA said:Smiply doesn't work
I bought this scale when it's on promotion. The total price is about $17 including shipping. Well. I just received it 5 mins ago. Let me tell you. It doesn't work.
Here is why. From my past experience, I know when I work hard, I weight about 110 lbs and when I eat and sleep a lot, I weight about 120lbs.
So I weight my self on this scale.
first result 127.1lbs--- OK, I think I need to lose weight now.
Weight again 126.8 lbs ---come on, it was 127.1 lbs just seconds ago. Wierd.
weight again and again 126.8 lbs ---- alright. so that's the number. I definitely have to lose weight.
I'm not done yet.
The manual says there is a botton in the back that allows you to switch from LBS to KG. In case you don't know, 1 lb == 453.59237 g = 0.453.59237 kg
I switched to scale to KG unit and then weight myself again. 55.0kg. ---- are you kidding me. that's about 121 lbs but matches my past experience.
switch it back to lbs, still 126.8lbs.
6 lbs! that's a big difference. How did this scale do the math?
This big manufacturer doesn't even know the most basic unit conversion.
Are you kidding me?
1 lb == 453.59237 g == 0.453.59237 kg
~ August 31, 2010 ~ Hazy said:Looks nice but adds 5 pounds to everything.
This is a nice looking bathroom scale. However it is terribly inaccurate. I weighed myself and it added 5.5 pounds. I tested it with 15 pounds of dumbbells and sure enough it calculated the weight to be 20.5. I guess I could deduct 5.5 pounds from whatever it shows on the screen, but I'm not sure if I can trust a product that is inaccurate from the start to maintain even that discrepancy.

On reading previous reviews, it fits in my Kenmore. Sears wanted $80 for one. I got two for less. Awesone. Expect a bit of sputtering and weird taste for a bit when first installed. (Run the water until it tastes good or dump that new made ice.) Then it works great.

This package is definitely a lot cheaper than the ones from Sears, who makes a living by charging ridiculous prices to unsuspecting customers, of which I had been one of them, paying twice for a couple of years. However I find the specification of this package as lacking some capabilities of the Sears model. Not sure if this is a marketing requirement by Sears or there is really a difference. I have no problem with the water quality, though I have not experienced the thrill other reviewed have demonstrated.
I live in Chicago, one of the best water sources in the nation from Lake Michigan. But my refrigerator signals me to change filter only after 3 months of usage. This really makes me feel suspicious if the 6 month manufacturer recommended usage period is an exaggeration of what the filter can really manage.

Works great - totally plug-and-play. This is labeled as a Whirlpool filter but it will work with Kenmore Elite and other Kenmore appliances that use the PUR system. As you know Sears and most places sell these for at least 50.00 so this is a great value. I chose this one over the PUR-branded filter because of another review I read. Evidently according to the label this one filters out more "stuff" than the standard filter. This is a great buy.

if you are in a market for steam mob look no further. This is one to buy. I had "S" brand (Big fish) before and oh boy it was a joke compare to this Eureka Enviro Mob. Very silent operation unlike "S" brand one that blows steam like dragon (my kids loved it though). Very hot temperature to sanitize (very amazing) and remove old stains on wood floor (works really well). I think any towel of same size of shipped towel should fit (less cost).
Overall i give two thumbs up...
~ September 3, 2010 ~ H. Valencia said:Hot steam...but is it clean?
After reading the reviews and having a friend who purchased this steam mop I was so excited to replace my Shark!! I used it the first day and two to three times a week since then. I love how hot it gets and that you don't have to pump it to get it to steam while you mop. It's a little hard for me to know how clean the floor gets, though. I know the steam is super hot so it's sanitizing...but as far as really getting the dirt off the floor...I don't know. I have 2 kids and 2 dogs so my floors get pretty dirty pretty quickly. The pads say not to wash them with detergent, just rinse and air dry. This makes it hard to get the dirt out and then know exactly what you're taking up the next time. To pass a "white glove test" afterward, I think you'd have to go pretty slowly, changing the pad frequently and flipping them over. Although it only comes with two pads, I think you could easily clamp a white kitchen towel on there if need be. One more tiny bummer is that you can't monitor how much water is in there until the empty indicator comes on. A small issue, but I thought it worth mentioning. Overall, as far as a steam mop goes, I love the ease of use, the retractable handle for storage, and the super hot steam.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ LAD46 said:Love It!
Love this floor steamer! After doing a lot of online research on a half dozen steam mops I decided to go with the Eureka 313A and I'm so happy I did. We had laminate flooring but into our new home three years ago and up until now, have never had a clean looking floor. The Eureka 313A is easy to handle, the water tank holds a generous amount eliminating the need to refill it every couple of minutes, the power cord is of sufficient length, the cleaning pads are easy to attach, and there are a lot of steam ports resulting in a larger cleaning surface. Best of all, the floor is clean and streak free! Wish I had found this floor steamer three years ago.

~ September 2, 2010 ~ CaraMia from Virginia said:After using Eureka Envirosteamer for about 6 months....
When I first got the Envirosteamer I raved over it. I have the oldest, nastiest vinyl flooring in the kitchen which is white (WHITE!). Until I can have the whole thing done over the way I want, I'm sort of stuck with it. It's so old that anyone or anything (we have pets and kids) who walks through leaves a mark. Mopping was a pain and I'd have to do it sometimes 2x a day. I went through two Swiffer Wet Jets. But still the stains on the floor held tight.
Then I got the Envirosteamer and my nasty floors (although still ugly) are at least clean - and I don't have to clean the floors more than three times a week. And this is fairly heavy traffic.
Okay - after six months - my complaints. The 'thingys' that clip on the pad are not as secure as they were and I keep wondering which time I use them they will fall off. I have not tried to repair them.
Eureka only includes 2 pads - and replacements are nearly impossible to come by. I just read a review about using dishtowels - I tried some microfiber pads and they didn't work. But I will try the dishtowels. If that works it will solve a huge problem as my pads are so soiled I have to soak them in bleach in order for them not to release dirt back onto the floor - but they still are gray with dirt.
Eureka is heavy. I know there are lightweight steamers out there. This one is not one of them.
EurekaEnvirosteamer is large. It takes up much more space than some of the others I've seen at Target and Sears. However, according to some other consumers, those others do not clean as well, so I guess I'd rather have a clean floor.
Lastly, the handle is wiggly. It is not coming off, but will sort of twist around and flop while it is heating up, and I have to have it lean on the counter. I have not tried to fix this. It's not a big deal IF it doesn't eventually break on me.
All-in-all, I love this steam cleaner but am worried about some parts staying in one piece. Also wish it were lighter and pads were easier to come by. But with the dishtowel suggestion - I may change my mind about that problem.
The floor is clean and sanitized. Every time. If that is what you are looking for in a steam cleaner, this one is for you!

~ September 3, 2010 ~ Falconeer from Little Rock, AR said:Great for Pomeranians!!!!
My wife and I recently acquired a Pomeranian* pup without first doing the research about these cute and affectionate little bundles of destruction. One of the things we learned post facto was that this breed is especially challenging to housebreak. I had borrowed my neighbor's 6 year old Hoover SteamVac so much, that it hardly ever saw its home, so I decided the right thing to do would be to buy him a replacement machine. I've had especially good luck with refurbished units, so that's the direction I went. It arrived looking like new, and it works as well as a new machine, too. It removes poop and pee stains very nicely. This model of Steam Vac works great, and I make no hesitation in recommending one - especially for Pomeranian* owners.
Verdict:
Hoover SteamVac = Thumbs up
Pomeranian* puppy = Thumbs down
Berber carpet = Thumbs down

I don't usuually do reviews but this product is so good I think I should let everyone know. Well made, easy to use, very effective, took all the dog urine smells out of the carpet and made them look like new. You won't be disappointed.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ jojo said:strong suction
This cleaner is very easy to use and works well - It is a little heavy to move around but only when full of water (and if the tanks were smaller you'd have to keep refilling - so better to be heavy than have to refill every few mins. and I guess you could fill it half way if it was a big deal). The biggests downside is the brushes underneath. They are round spinners and the are are turned by one of the brushes so I'm waiting for that to break and the rotating brushes to stop working. Best part about the machine is the suction - it has a strong suction and leaves the carpet fairly dry.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ D. Wiloch from Sorrento, Florida said:Good for the occasional cleaning.
If you use really hot (I use boiling water) this machine does a great job of cleaning carpets. I do not think it was built for more than the occasional (2-3 times a year) cleaning. This is my second unit and the same problem that I had with the first one has arisen with this unit also. The brushes stop rotating. I am sure it probably happened because when I use the hand wand I did not disengage the brushes. Something I should have probably done. A little better design like brushes automatically disengage when wand is used would prevent this from happening, especially when this was a problem with the previous version. If you need something for the in-between the major steam cleaning by the pro's, this should fill that need.
~ August 31, 2010 ~ S. Begg from orlando, fl said:I loved it, until the clean surge broke!
This is the best carpet cleaner ive ever used, the most effective. I even learned to live with the rather mundane task of refilling and emptying the containers because it really made a big difference in my carpets. However, after maybe a year of every other month use-the clean surge brushes stopped spinning. I noticed one day they werent working, but went ahead and finished my cleaning..well, the next day-there were stripes all over my living room floor where the solution was sprayed into the carpet, but because the brushes didnt rotate-it didnt clean properly! I have since lent it to my sisterinlaw who also had the same experience. The only useful part of the cleaner is the hand tool now-which stinks because this truly is the best cleaner out there. Ive owned the bissell steam clean-and this blew it away!

I'm not too particular about my pillows. These are nice and soft, good enough for me.
~ September 2, 2010 ~ Vindicate414 from Indianapolis, IN said:Wow
I've always had problems with pillows becoming flat after just a few days. My girlfriend mentioned that it was probably because I bought the $3 pillows from WalMart. I splurged a little bit to buy a pair of these, and I am simply amazed. It's the most comfortable pillow I've ever used, and it fills back out into its full shape every day!
~ September 1, 2010 ~ AliM said:Love. These. Pilliows.
Just received these pillows yesterday and slept on them for the first time last night. LOVE THESE PILLOWS! Ordering more today.
~ August 29, 2010 ~ Dennisia Francisco said:Gel Fiber Pillows
This is the first time I am trying gel fiber pillows. I was not certain what to expect but I am pleased with what I got. I bought the standard size. The pillow is not firm, but it is not too soft either. WHat I love most about it is that it does not become sunken afte ryou have slept on it. Instead it quickly returns to its original shape and this makes for a good rest whether sleeping or napping.
~ August 24, 2010 ~ T. Jones said:Te name says it all DREAM SUPREME!!!
I am spoiled when it comes to a comfortable pillow and these were by far not only the best buy but exactly what I was looking to pamper myself with. These pillows are so soft and comfortable and it seems like they never heat up so I am not waking up searching for the cool side of the pillow to go back to sleep on like all the rest of the $100 pillows I have bought in the past. I love these pillows so much I might have to buy more for storage just in case they quit making these. I do not think they can make a better pillow for me than this. I will be buried with one of these to ensure eternal comfortable rest.

My coffee filter was falling to pieces so I had to replace it. (I guess I should replace it regularly, but I am too poor!!!) I was worried this may not be the right coffee filter, but it was.
~ August 27, 2010 ~ Water filters said:very happy with the product
I could not get the filters locally and the price at Amazon was the same as locally.
~ August 12, 2010 ~ Susanna Hutcheson from Midwest U.S.A. said:If you love really good coffee, you need these filters.
One reviewer said if you already filter your water you don't need these. Well, I understand their thinking and appreciate the reasoning. I disagree, however. I love really good coffee. I grind each pot fresh. I buy the best beans I can and everything I use to create my drink is the best. I use PUR filters to filter all my water. But I take it a step further and use these little gems to filter the water yet again in my coffee maker. Is it overkill? Well, you be the judge. To me, it's not at all.
These filters do a wonderful job of helping you achieve a perfect cup of coffee. And the price listed above is the best I've found --- Abes gives great service if you buy from them. I buy three boxes (six filters) at a time. That generally last a year.
Highly recommended.

This was a replacement for a DeLonghi product and so far is way superior to the DeLonghi. Delicious coffee and easy clean up. So far so good.

~ September 3, 2010 ~ PluckyDog from Alberta, Canada said:Not as advertised.
I couldn't wait to try this product out. We have 4 cats and one dog ...with the main floor being hardwood and tile. At first, I was thinking "wow, much better than sweeping" until I used it a few times.
I've been using it for a week now and the only thing it is good for is picking up fur and dust. It won't even pick up one tiny pebble of cat litter. I seriously don't know how they picked up so much on the tv ads (cheerios and larger pieces of dirt). My hand vac is stronger than this.
I don't like the handle either. It feels very awkward.
The product needs alot of improving.
I'm disapointed in Swiffer and will be returning it for a full refund this weekend.
PROS:
Lightweight.
Can hang it up on a hook.
Easy to use.
CONS:
Low suction (not as advertised).
Awkward handle.
No reuseable/washable swiffer cloth.
Product price (not worth it for pet owners).
Price of changeable clothes.
All in all, I don't recommend this product for pet owners (specifically, pets that carry stuff through your house from their paws). I'd rather spend twice the money on something that actually does what it is suppose to do.
I hope this was helpful :)

~ September 2, 2010 ~ big$$$sunny said:Not the model # listed
The model # listed under the Product Description is 04815. The model # I got in the mail is FS4000. I returned it. Model # FS4000 in my opinion is not nearly as good as the older model 04815. It doesn't stay charged as long, it takes longer to charge back up, and for some reason the Swiffer people moved the power button lower on the product so you have to bend over to turn it on or off. The older model had the power button on the handle up by your hand.
~ August 31, 2010 ~ John Boxleiter from NC said:Love this thing!
We have a 15 month old and crumbs and food are all over our tile floors. Our Swiffer Vacuum picks up everything, even big chunks of food. So nice not to have to pull out the broom all the time. The charge doesn't last that long, but we only use it around the kitchen, so I could care less - just plug it in overnight. I gave our toddler the old Swiffer Sweeper to play with... took a section off the handle, so it is short now.
~ August 29, 2010 ~ S. Pehrson from Utah said:Wonderful
I had the original version of this and loved it, but the suction wasn't quite strong enough to pick up small items. This new one is all that I had hoped it would be. It picks up small things like cheerios and leaves from the yard that were tracked inside. The charge holds a really long time, which surprised me. I would buy it again and got it cheaper through Amazon that the local Walmart.

We bought this to give as a gift. The person is thrilled with the way it works. When our old dehydrator dies we will buy this one for ourselves.
~ August 27, 2010 ~ Piano Instructor from OH USA said:Poor design - didn't work for me
I've used a dehydrator for years to dry herbs from my garden which I use all year long. I like the idea of drying them at a lower temperature. The colors shouldn't darken.
This was not my experience. I cut fresh sweet basil from my garden to dehydrate. I layed them in a single layer and set the dryer to 95Âș. Two days later, they were wilted, but not in the least bit dried. I hiked the temperature to 105Âș and let it continue drying. Mind you, the unit was operating 24/7. After five more days, the leaves were still not dry; some of them were still just wilted, especially the ones in the bottom trays where there were fewer leaves. I turned the unit up again, this time to 155Âș. After another 4 days, I checked them. The leaves should crumble when dried. The leaves are still flexible - kind of like paper leather.
I called Nesco and explained my dilemma. They suggested I return it. She said the basil should have dried in 24 hours.
That wasn't my experience. I would not recommend this unit. I don't like the heating unit on the top. Everyone knows that heat rises. Maybe that's part of the problem. The moisture certainly didn't leave the unit when it was in operation 24/7 for 11 days.
My original unit was a Magic Chef from Walmart. I liked the unit because the heater and the fan were in the bottom. The trays were adjustable to different heights. The unit would dry herbs within 24 hours. I wish I could get another one like that.
~ August 26, 2010 ~ J. Hatcher from The Great USA said:I THINK TERI JOHNSON WOULD LOVE THIS DEHYDRATOR!
When I buy something I do a LOT of research, 'cause I absolutely despise both wasting money & of course those dang "Nat-Zees"... Trust me on this one folks, this is well worth every cent & perfoms as advertised! I made jerky using a basic recipe my crew dog Tom "I think I just pooped my pants 'cause I'm so dang old" Bolling gave me & it makes store-bought jerky taste like a dog turd wrapped in burnt hair... Seriously, you'll take one bite of perfectly cured/dried jerkey from this machine & think you just got done eating Rock's ma's calf muscle... It's just that good! Buy this dehydrator & amaze your friends when you bring in some dehydrated meat straight from gary Firestone's Brokeback Barn...
p.s. If you want a GREAT food dehydrator, look no further folks!

I own a very similar model and really only purchased this for the 5 trays. I gave my mom the top and bottom since she had a really old model (10+ years) and it was compatible with her trays. Nothing bad to say - I expect them to last forever.
~ August 24, 2010 ~ Mark Norwood said:Great machine, reasonable price
We've had ours for a few months now and still love it. The adjustable temp is great, since we do both jerky (160 degrees) and fruit leathers (140 or so). The drying is even and consistent, and the motor is quiet. Do note that the trays are too large to fit into a standard dishwasher (assuming ours is "standard"), so you have to hand-wash them, but it's not difficult and is well-worth the effort for the results!
