Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit

works as advertised, DO NOT USE ENCLOSED INVERTER the inverter burned out after a week, after it was fried I opened it up, I’m now glad it was only on when I was home. very cheap and possible fire hazard, the panels are great for older technology and keep my small battery system charged.

T-fal irons have great sole plates that glide over the clothes you are ironing. I have owned many brands and after I bought one of these, about 10 years ago, I never wanted another brand.
They last about 3 years and then its time to get another. I have owned 3 in the last 10 years and they all gave me the same fine performance.
Just keep the bottom sole plate clean and do not leave water in the iron’s tank when you have finished ironing. The iron works with regular city tap water. If you have hard water it is suggested that you use bottled distilled water.

This machine does what it says it will. I did research before purchasing and in this price range, it’s the best. I found the steam button takes awhile to get used to (it can leave the floor pretty wet) but when I was done with my bamboo floors, they looked much nicer than the spray and mop hardwood cleaner that I have been using. And it’s less trouble than using the spray bottle over the entire 524 square feet of flooring! The pad went through the washer in good shape and I air dried it as recommended.

We have had the Penguin humidifier for about a year and a half now. I had placed an order for one and a month later it hadn’t shipped so I canceled my order and got one in the store. I really love it. Its adorable in my daughter’s room and works really well. It has a turn knob so you can adjust the output very easily. I think on high it puts off a little too much because it was empty and the carpet was damp in the morning. It is easy to fill and clean, doesn’t use a filter and holds enough water for a night or two. My girlfriend has the elephant or frog I can’t remember which and is also really happy with it. She has had it for three years I believe. Go for it, they are adorable and if you don’t like it you can always return it!

I purchased one of these fellas today after having just returned my Dyson. Yes, that’s right, I RETURNED MY DYSON! To be honest, I am still scratching my head as to why so many people throw praise at the Dyson. I had one of their “Animal” vacuums for one day, and although it was a nice product… really, is it worth almost $500? I mean, I am talking about a LOT of money here, so why should you spend that much money on a vacuum cleaner?

The simple answer is that you don’t have to. The Dyson Animal picked up just a small amount of debris from my fully-carpeted apartment when I tried it out. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser was almost half-full after I used it earlier today, only 12 hours after having using the Dyson.

I’m not sure what to make of this, to be honest. The Bissell (which costs about 1/3 the price of the Dyson) seems to do the job much better. Although the unit is quite bulky, and requires some assembly (the instructions were a joke), I have much cleaner floors as a result. And my biggest peeve about the Dyson was that, after paying all that money for a product that was called “The Animal,” I still had to pay an extra $69 for the pet hair attachment! Is it me, or is someone trying to rip me off here? (Edit: I have been told that one of the Dyson Animal vacuums comes equipped with the aforementioned attachment).

This cute little sucker is easy to use, has good suction and is much easier to use & less clunky than past cannister vacs I’ve owned and the retractible cord is a nice feature. It requires very little storage space.

The tool caddy on the wand is useless.. the head on the bare floor tool has a nice flexibility for shoving under beds & furniture but it might scuff some floors (mine are old and any new scuffs wouldn’t be noticed) I hear abrasion more than see any. A plusher dusting brush would be nice but this one is useable. Chances are, you might have a better one from a previous machine that’ll fit.

I don’t find the hepa filter difficult to clean and it’s certainly worth the bother to save inhaling fine particles or finding fine dust settling after using the machine. It did a great job sucking up animal fluff, dander & pollen. I didn’t realize how much fine dust I had in my house till I found flour-like grey powder in that filter. I’m glad not to be breathing it or wiping surfaces w/a dustcloth as often.

I use an upright on my carpet but wanted a handy cannister to do the periferal areas and uncarpeted bedrooms. This little cutie fits my needs perfectly.

It’ll handle small accent rugs okay, but if your world is mostly plushly carpeted, you might want something else. I’m pleased with this vacuum cleaner and Amazon’s price was a bargain.. much lower than “sale” prices in my area and shipping was included!

This is the best vacuum I’ve had yet for hard wood floors. I have 1 child, 2 cats ,a dog and a bird and it literally was a breeze on all of their mess, such as candy wrappers, hair, cat litter and seeds. We have a large townhouse and I could do the first-floor and steps without having to replug somewhere else. The dirt canister is larger than I thought it would be and the suction was great! It’s also very easy to clean. It is lightweight and easy to handle and the micro-fresh filter only needs to be replaced 2 times a year … (Now that makes me breathe easy). The only thing I can come up with that I would change on this vac is that it does not have a retractable cord.
