I recently moved in with my sister and brother-in-law with my two cats in a very dry climate. Since we have been here, my sister had scratchy eyes and throat, and a horrible cough. I have had this running for 3 days and nights now and it is mostly gone.
The unit was packed perfectly and only needed to be plugged in and turned on. It looks sleek even though is is not small- non intrusive in my decor. It is very quiet. Filter maintenance looks very easy, however the replacements are not that cheap (I see around $40). I do NOT use the pre-filter but it looks nice.
Again I give this 5 stars for the way it has helped my sister tolerate my cats!!

I love this scanner! It works quickly and quietly. HOWEVER I only gave it 4 stars because:
1) Initial set up was great, but connecting it to my Iphone took a couple of days of tech support
2) it keeps popping off my Wifi- it is the only thing in the house that has that issue.
3)It required an extremely tech savvy person to bring it to its full potential and I am not that person (but I was able to get help)

Once this was set up I was amazed how useful it is. Faster than a scanner/printer, sleeker that a full size printer/scanner, and portable!
I view it as a product that will become super easy to set up as technology improves. More user friendly for those of us not tech savvy.

My sister was not too keen to a new toaster as her current hold 4 slices in two slots. Its old, toasts uneven, and is actually melted a bit on top, but I got a new one anyway.
I love new toasters!!! This one toasts nice and even which is priceless to me! However, when comparing things there was a few unlikeable things about this:
1) TOO SLOW. omg it takes forever almost twice as long as the old toaster (yes we did side-by-side comparison)
2) Slots are not long enough to handle the artisan slices

BUT, again it toasts perfect! Super easy to clean, looks amazing. The classic stainless fits anywhere and I love that!

So many good things with this little speaker!!!
1) Sound is amazing! I listen to music with the base and podcasts, phone calls, and books without the base.
2) The lights are cool!!! They are adjustable soft lights that are not blinding but make a nice "nightlight". Or, as I use it at night...lights off.
3) This speaker has some weight to it so my cat cannot knock it off the table or nightstand like he does with everything else, yet not heavy.
4) It paired so easily and the app works great. My daughter gets a kick out of turning it on and off when she is not home.

I had to buy one for a friend after she tried to steal mine. Nice reasonably priced gift!!

This is the perfect time of the year for something like this!!! We use it for the outside Christmas lights and we did eventually get it to work.
I got the app, got everything set up and it would not connect. One of the troubleshooting tips was to make sure my phone was updated. Then the app (that I just downloaded) or reboot the WIFI. I live in a house that when rebooting the WIFI takes an act of congress because once it is rebooted everything in this house needs to be restarted. So, we rebooted the the entire system in the house, got everything working and still had problems. After messing around with it for a couple of days somehow it started working. Not sure what we did but it is nice to turn the outside Christmas lights on from work to drive home and see them, and shut them off from bed.
I was hoping to get some snow or rain to confirm the outside use, but we have been in the 60's since I got this so I cannot comment of that aspect. I am glad I got it!!!

I have had a Mr Coffee most of my adult life- they have always been excellent. I am glad to say this is just as good. Why I gave it four stars will be told at the end.
Using the permanent filter that came with this, it was full of sediment which hurts my throat but others love it. It is expected and mentioned in the instructions so I opted for the disposable filters after the first pot. After that it was a great cup of coffee.
The timer works perfect- I love waking to the smell of coffee brewing. The coffeemaker has a small footprint so it easily fits in any location in my kitchen. Everything is pleasant except...
This coffee maker 'ticks' when it is on (getting back to temp)- as strange as it sounds, it sounds just like my oven. Very annoying. Also the pause feature is just like any other coffee pot. It pauses the drip but NOT the water flow so, the filter, which is shallow, continues to fill. And, if I take too long it will overflow and get grounds in my coffee. And, the condensation was crazy with this machine! I thought it would correct its self after a few uses but it did not. I had to move the machine from my butcher block island and my wooden shelf coffee mess area. With this I am unsure if I would recommend it WITHOUT suggesting a towel under it, and that defeats the purpose of a new sleek basic coffee maker.

The Filtrete™ Maximum Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-MAX-S01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.

Handyman was at my house when this arrived so I had him install. 5 minutes later he told me I could have easily done it.
One thing to note- This is for COLD WATER ONLY. It is not rated for warm or hot water.
Anyway, I doubt I have lead in my water but one never knows. This has been on for a week now and I can taste the difference. The nasty red schmootz at the bottom of water glasses is now gone.

What I REALLY like? I don't have to keep an extra container in the fridge and I can fill the coffee pot without waiting for the slow drip of the brita.

The Shark Vertex Corded Stick Vacuum is Shark’s ultimate cleaning experience. DuoClean PowerFin features a PowerFin roller and a soft roller combine on all floors for continuous cleaning contact to dig deep into carpets, directly engage floors, and pick up more in every pass. (vs. original DuoClean).

I have three stories with hardwood, vinyl, carpet, and 2 very furry cats. A true test for a vacuum.
What impressed me: This vacuum is strong! I gave it the test of a pre-vacuumed floor and it did great! It still picked up enough to almost fill the cup. The swivel head made it so easy too go around my dining room chairs. The cord is long and the dust bin empties easily. The on/off and floor type buttons are in the perfect spot- very convenient. And no matter what anyone says, a corded vacuum is always better since it does not run out when in the middle of a clean. The cleaning head disconnect is very easy to switch from floors to cobwebby ceilings.
What did NOT impress me??? This vacuum cannot stand on its own!!! I set it against a wall and it slid down and scared the crap out of my cats. I needed to chock the front. And, this is not very lightweight. I cannot imagine my 78 year old mother trying to pick this up repeatedly when it keeps falling down. Shark needs to focus on this balance

The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8-qt. 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology. The first air fryer with 2 independent baskets that let you cook 2 foods at once, not back-to-back like a traditional single-basket air fryer. With 6-in-1 versatility, you can Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat or Dehydrate in each 4-qt zone for quick family meals. XL 8-qt capacity lets you cook mains and sides at the time, and now with Smart Finish Technology you can sync the settings from each zone so both foods cook accurately and finish together.

The air fryers are nice, but living with a vegetarian made it difficult to cook for both of us. Now that is not a problem!!!! He has one side and I have another!!! The other day it was shrimp for me and tofu for him! The tofu takes longer and with the separate controls it was a snap with no concern for 'cross contamination'. It would be PERFECT for picky eating kids as well.
The footprint on this machine is big- plan on enough counter space when using. It does seem to cool down quickly. It is also MUCH easier to use than my previous one with basic no-nonsense control panel.
Now I cant wait for Thanksgiving- this will be such a BIG help!!!

I got this and got the app and starting relieving my Cuboid Syndrome pain my my foot. It was great and the app showed me the proper head to use. While the app was OK and the bluetooth put a timer on it, I do not see a benefit for the app or the bluetooth, especially when I had to continually reconnect with each use- even when I had used it less than 2 minutes prior.
Many times after walking with lots of uphills, my calves get real tight and the flat attachment did an amazing job to the point that I did not suffer for 3 days. I feel like I can exercise a little more often.
I HIGHLY recommend looking at some youtube videos as well. There is a wealth of info out there with ideas to on how to use this to maintain and help.
I think this is a must for people that get sore often, especially as we age. And, if there is two people, it would be a great massage tool.
I gave it 4 stars because of the price. It is priced well out of range for most people. Because of this, I do not have friends that have this much money laying around so I would not recommend to a friend.

The Shark Cordless Pet Plus Vacuum with Anti-Allergen Complete Seal combines powerful suction with cordless convenience to deliver deep cleaning on all floor types. Its lightweight design and removable hand vac allow for cleaning from floor to ceiling.
We live in an 1100 square foot apartment. Mostly hardware floors. Could this work as your only vacuum? (except for a small handheld we use for corners, etc.)
I think it would be great! The top comes off for storage and the attachments work perfect. My house is over 2300 sq ft and it completes in one charge.

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
I spoke with an electrician and he states that since the instructions suggest to plug into a GFI, it is not a GFI itself. I have not tried to control each separate and I do not see where I can so I would say No. I am unsure about the other questions- sorry!!

Can the filter be turn off if I am using the faucet for other than drinking water? Will it still use the filter? Shorten the 6 month life span on the filter?
I think you would have to remove the filter and reattach the hose. Not very convenient if done often.

I purchased this Ninja less than month ago, love the features, but not yet excited about the taste. Getting a lot of thick sediment on the bottom of the cup immediately when poured and moments after it's been brewed. PLEASE help...I love my coffee!
