Review of Avalon Chair

We bought the Avalon chair & table set and two additional chairs. They are beautiful and very strong--adults sit on them with no problem. They are a little big for the smallest children (age 2 and under), but sit even 8 and 9 year olds comfortably. My children use this table for crafts; for dinner parties; etc. The only problem is that the table surface can be easily marked--we have a green marker line across the top and a crayon line up one leg. I'd think that the table could have a more wipe-clean surface. Food stains wipe up easily--but I think that some crayons and markers (and not just permanent ones) can stain the surface.

Review of Kyjen Pet Saver Life Jacket Large

I bought this for my dog (a 65 lbs. lab) for a vacation in which we swam around in and canoed a class 2-3 river and spent the day on a pontoon boat on a lake. The life jacket fit well and was very streamlined to the dogs body. It was very secure with both velco and buckle closures. While on the canoe trip during breaks the dog ran around in the woods and the jacket didn't get any damage. While on the lake we could lift the dog into and out of the boat using the handle. It kept her afloat and she seemed comfortable with it supporting all her weight. The handle also helped to grab her before she got swept down a rapid while swimming in a river.I would strongly recommend this life jacket for anyone with a dog around water - it's inexpensive, sturdy and effective, yet pretty small.

Review of Nite Ize NND-03-19L Nite Dawg Light Up Dog Collar, Red Led Orange Webbing, Large

I got both a red and orange version size large. They work very well. The adjustments were easy and the instructions clear. Once set up were a snap to use. I use these as a secondary collar at night. They come packaged with tight bends in them that prevent the light from traveling the length of the collar. This is easily fixed when the adjustments are being made by warming the plastic light bar with a hair dryer until straight. The light bar is easier to remove from the collar if you (1)Slip the battery cover out as instructed until you can get your fingers on the plastic light bar. (2) Hold the light bar and pull the nylon collar by its far end sliding it off the bar. It sticks if you try to push it off. Pulling the battery pack could damage the unit. When you reinsert the light bar it is easier to thread it through the sliding adjustment clasp by pulling about 4 inches or more up through the clasp and then bending it back through the other side. Then proceed with adjusting the size to the length you needed. I adjusted the first collar the hard way. The second one went much easier. Have I mentioned how visible these things are? My dogs glow in the dark woods at night. They can be spotted a long way off. A wonderful accessory for night time walks.

Review of Rachael Ray 6-qt. Saute Pan Multiple Colors Available

I was so excited to open this up when it arrived (Very quickly BTW). But as I started to read the instructions, I discovered that this porcelain cookware is not recommended for ceramic or glass top stove tops. So unfortunately this will be going back. I wish they had put that in the description. But this pot is very BIG, and would have made my life so much easier with feeding my family of 6!

Review of Rachael Ray 2-Quart "Ball Style: Teakettles

WARNING- This kettle may cause injury!!!
I have all of Rachel Rays products and am a HUGE fan!! So I bought this super cute Teakettle.
The first time using I sustained 2nd degree burns. The spout does NOT pour correctly!!! Instead of going into my cup it went all over my hand, from my wrist to my fingertips!!!
After getting home from the doctor I put cold water in it thinking maybe it was user error, I even had my husband and friend try pouring with it and it is VERY difficult to pour due to the spout design!!!
Save yourself the pain and money, go with a different teakettle (unless its just for decoration).

Review of Sunny Morning by Kalorik 25697TL Electric Kettle, Cordless Set

Kalorik JK-25697L Sunny Morning 1500-Watt Cordless Jug Kettle with 2 Mugs and 2 Table Mats, Lime
VERY NICE LOOKING KETTLE, WORKS GOOD SO FAR. NO PLASTIC SMELL IN THE WATER. TABLE MATS AND MUGS ARE VERY NICE COLORS THEYREALLY MAKE EVERY MORNING LOOKS SUNNY. THE ONLY COMPLAIN IS THAT WHEN THERE IS NO WATER IN THE KETTLE THE SYSTEM IS VERY UNSTABLE, THE BASE IS VERY LITE, BUT WITH WATER INSIDE EVERYTHING IS STABLE AND GOOD, ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A LOW PRICE.

Product Description:
Equipped with a powerful 1500-watt stainless-steel heating element, this electric kettle can quickly bring up to 56 ounces of water to a rolling boil--twice as fast as a microwave oven.

In a matter of minutes, hot water will be ready to use for anything from tea, hot cocoa, and instant coffee to instant soup or noodles. The kettle provides a comfortable handle with a rubberized pad to ensure a secure grip, a locking lid with an opening trigger button, a drip-free pouring spout, and a cordless design for graceful serving. For safety, the unit's Strix controller provides boil-dry protection and automatic cut-off if it accidentally gets switched on without water. Two colorfully striped ceramic coffee mugs and two matching table mats come included as an extra bonus.

Review of Ruff Dawg Super Tug - Orange

My dog LOOOVES his super tug.It's lasted 6 months so far.It's made out of a rubbery material that's extremely durable.I used to have those flossing bones or fabric toys and they don't last very long and make a mess when destroyed.He grabs one of the four sides and it stretches out.The only drawbacks are that if your dog lets go (my dog doesn't) then it can snap back at you (and vice versa).It's a play toy and chew toy.My dog loves chewing on it and massaging his gums.You can throw it but it's a little unwieldy and better for tugging.
PROS: Durable. High value if your dog like tugging. Good for play or chew.
CONS: Can snap if let go suddenly.Can get slobbery if you accidently grab the side that your dog had in his mouth.Your carpet will experience more wear as your dog will dig in when you play tug.

Highly recommended.Buy through Amazon instead of 3rd parties for potentially free shipping and avoid state tax.

Review of Samson Ultrasonic Fruit, Vegetable and Dish Washer Plus Disinfector 3D Soul System GBW-300

Be aware that this unit is rather heavy and takes up a lot of space if you leave it on the counter.I keep mine on the counter by the sink, use the sink's sprayer to fill the unit, and scoot the unit partially over the sink to empty it.I do believe that my fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer if bathed in this cleaning device.Since I live an hour from the closest town, I only shop once a week so this is a great feature for me.The unit will hold a large head of romaine lettuce.I hit the fruit or vegetable button once for organic produce and twice for non-organic produce.It's nice to be able to vary the amount of time in this way.The "I'm done" tune is pleasant!The low voltage use is good especially if you are on a solar system as I am.

Review of Ultimate Survival Technologies StrikeForce Fire Starter

I bought this product for emergencies. Its obviously a lot easier to start fires with a regular lighter, but if you lose yours or it gets wet, you could be up a creek. This flint will work even when wet and the "wetfire" cube stored in the base will burn WHILE SITTING IN WATER! So you should definitely be able to start a (possibly lifesaving) fire under adverse conditions.

Review of Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball

This treat ball is probably not for every dog, but our 8 month old Shiba Inu puppy absolutely adores it and so do we. Our trainer recommended that we use a treat ball as a way to challenge our puppy and focus his energy on something "productive" (for him, at least). This does the trick better than any other similar product. It is very durable yet (unlike a Buster Cube) soft enough that nothing gets damaged as it rolls into walls, chairs and the like.We use it for half of his kibble at each meal. After about 4 weeks of daily use, our ball is starting to show signs of wear but we have gotten far more use out of this than any other "toy" we've purchased.

Our puppy is a high energy, very food motivated, tough-chewing, smart little guy who can get treats out of his Kong and open the child gate in under 5 minutes. But while this treat ball requires patience, our normally "A.D.D." puppy will persistently push this ball around the kitchen until he gets every last piece of kibble out. That can take 20-30 minutes.The ball does not make a good "chew toy" for a tough chewer (like our dog, who can chew off the top of a red Kong), however. We make sure to take it away after he empties it.Otherwise, it would never have lasted this long.

Review of Bissell 1623 PowerSteamer PowerBrush Select Upright Deep Cleaner

I had bought this for my wife after a lengthy search on the internet and we've not been disappointed. The first occasion to use it came after one of our four legged pets had an accident on our beige rug. It loads easily and it's handy how the clean water and the waste water share space on the small, cartridge. It's surprisingly light weight too. We'd had a Bissell previously from about 10 years ago and that was a large, 4 wheeled item that you pulled behind you. As I recall that cleaned pretty well but all the water fittings leaked no matter how hard you tightened them. I'm glad to say that this Bissell cleans even better and there are no leaks to be seen.
This has been a good purchase for us!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Bissell 1623 PowerSteamer PowerBrush Select Upright Deep Cleaner

Product Description:
Dirt is a normal part of a carpet's everyday wear and tear--but that dirt can get ground deep into a rug's fibers every time it's walked on, damaging them permanently. Portable, lightweight, and easy to use, the Bissell PowerSteamer PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner protects and extends carpet life by removing deep-down grit and stains, using just hot tap water, deep-cleaning detergent, and its five-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush. In addition to leaving carpets clean, odor-free, and gently groomed for a polished look, the unit can also be used to clean bare floors, stairs, and upholstery. Useful tools include a 3-inch tough-stain tool, a two-in-one spraying crevice tool, and a bare-floor tool.
The unit's 3/4-gallon two-in-one water-tank system features a heavy-duty bladder inside for clean water, which empties and mixes with the cleaning formula during operation. The dirty water that gets pulled out of the carpets collects around the outside of the bladder, which means the clean and dirty water never mix. Other thoughtful details include a comfortable handle, quick-release cord hooks, a lint screen, and easy-to-maneuver wheels, as well as a built-in measuring cup and a removable nozzle for quick cleanup. The unit's wide cleaning path covers more ground in less time, while the 25-foot power cord means less unplugging and re-plugging when cleaning larger rooms. The unit comes with an 8-ounce bottle of Hard Floor Solutions, a 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula, and a dual-purpose Scotchgard-enhanced detergent that both deep-cleans carpet and protects it from future dirt and stains. The 12 amp upright deep cleaner measures 19 by 11 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
