Outlet Reviews

This fan is well built and puts out a very powerful stream of air in one direction. It is large and very heavy weighing about 35 pounds but it has wheels and a telescoping handle that is easy to move around if you don't have to climb stairs. Basically it has a big heavy motor that turns a squirel cage fan by direct drive (no belt). I measured the power consumption and it uses 450 watts on high, 420 mid, and 400 low. That is more power than the blower in the forced air furnace in many houses. I gave it 4 stars because it is bigger and more powerful than I will ever need and even low is loud and too powerful. It would of been better if high was 450 watts, middle was 350 and a quieter and more economical low of 250.

This Air Mover seems to work very well and I like the handle as it makes it easier to maneuver. The weird thing tho, is that on the control knob, the fan blows at Medium Speed when on HIGH and the fan blows at High Speed when the control knob is at MEDIUM. Someone must have wired it incorrectly. We won't be sending it back because of the hassle. We'll just use it as-is.

Industrial strength, great quality. If you need to move air this is the baby. Unbelievable value for the money.

I bought my Nissan mug at the end of 1996, when I started biking to work every day. It's suffered a couple of dents as a result of popping out of the old bike's water bottle cage a few times. An ex-girlfriend borrowed the mug and absentmindedly ripped the rubber sleeve off, so for years I just had a bare steel mug (which stays in the water bottle cages better). A year ago I was riding in a bus shuttle to a client's office and found a new rubber sleeve, so now my mug is complete again.

I've had the same issues as everyone else: the flip lid can leak even when closed (especially on bumpy pavement), it collects coffee in the little thing on the lid so you end up with a dot of coffee on your nose, and it doesn't fit in most car cupholders.

All of this gets mitigated, though, when you consider that as long as you don't melt the lid, one of these things should last you a *very* long time. So much better for you and the planet than disposable coffee cups.

this is a great cup stays hot for hrs!!!! its great if your on the run and if your like me must have your coffe worth every penny! you deff get your moneys worth!!!

The only thing I love as much as my morning coffee is, my coffee mug. I love that my coffee stays warm from the time I first pour it, until the well after carpool.

Lasted less than a year.

For the first three weeks I was very happy with this product. It sealed both bags and canisters quickly and efficiently.

However three weeks after getting it, it completely stopped working. Fortunately Amazon has a very good return policy so I will be getting a replacement. When I get the new one I will give another review after having it a few month or until it dies again.

The FoodSavers used to be made in Italy. Now they are made in China and some people have told me that the quality control has really dropped off

I am now on my 3rd foodsaver in six or seven years. While they are working properly they are great. After about two years, they always seem to stop drawing a vaccuum. The vaccuum pump will run and run but it will not draw a vaccuum. With all the freezing my family does we will continue to keep replacing them because the quality of the vegetables is extended by well over a year. It's worth it to us to replace them every two years. I just wish Tilia would build one at reasonable price that would last about five years.

Do you find yourself throwing away too much food? You wouldn't if you had one of these. The foodsaver is the best defense against watching your precious food dollars go down the drain. Air is the worst thing for food. Air is what causes foods to spoil. If you vacuum pack your food and freeze it it will last for months and months. That's what the Foodsaver does. Don't be fooled by cheaper imitations. They have fans that pull some of the air out of the bag. The Foodsaver is a professional machine that removes all of the air from the storage bags.

You will be able to save money buy buying foods in bulk. No need to worry that it will spoil before you get to eat it. I go to the meat warehouses and stock up. Then I vacuum pack everything. You can even season your meats before you seal them. Store your leftovers or pre-prepare foods to cook later. The storage bags can be put into boiling water to reheat or cook foods and they can go in the microwave for defrosting foods.

The Foodsaver is not appropriate for everything though. Don't try to store a loaf of bread or a bag of chips. They be crushed because the suction of the unit is too strong. There are special containers that you can buy for things like that. One of the best places to find them is QVC.

NOT JUST FOR FOOD!!!

Do you have something of value that you want to protect? Seal it! You can seal handwritten music, clothing, crafts, games, vintage items that you want to keep away from water or dampness, etc. Take it camping with you or seal items that you want to take with you on a picnic.

The Foodsaver is the best investment I've ever made for my kitchen. You'll be very pleased with it.

I carry at least one Swiss Army Knife with me every where I go (except a plane, of course). This 3 1/2 inch all-purpose tool is suitable for your pocket, glove compartment or tool box. This knife has dozens of uses for a do-it-yourselfer, a gardener or a camper.

This little wonder has a large and small knife, a corkscrew, a punch, a can opener with a flat blade screwdrive on the end, a bottle opener with a flat blade screwdriver on the end and what purports to be a wire stripper on the side (I have never used that), a key ring, tweezers and a toothpick. This knife is water resistant and made of high quality components.

I tend to use the knives on the pocket knife more than any other tools. After that I find that the combination of one of the knives and the tweezers are useful for splinters and thorns, and thus the tweezers often become the third most useful tool. I must admit that occasionally I use the toothpick, particularly when real toothpicks are not available.

The smaller screwdriver blade is small enough that it can also fit into a Phillips head screw. I have even been able to use the flat blade on some small internal hex head screws. I have never used the corkscrew, and I have used the punch as an awl. The can opener blade has yet to be used on this knife as well.

The difficulty with carrying tools is that they can fill your pocket very quickly. This small Swiss Army knife is small enough to fit into a purse or a pocket and yet large enough to be useful. While the larger Swiss Army knives have even more and larger tools and blades, they are also harder to carry. Of course this particular knife will not replace a tool box, but I find it amazing how many tasks I can accomplish with the simple tools available in this gem.

In general, I like the Centurion line of knives. I own an 8" chef, 8" slicer, 5" utility and 3.5" parer. I use them daily and am very satisfied. They're attractive, well-balanced, sharp, and hold their edge well.

However, their Santoku knife wasn't nearly as sharp out of the box and, despite considerable effort, I couldn't get it sharp enough to suit me. I ended up giving it away. I use my chefs knife for my heavy chopping and prep work. It does a fine job.

This knife is actually quite a good value. The forged blade is full tang (the same piece of steel runs all the way through the handle allowing the manufacturer to adjust the balance by the thickness of steel in the handle)and is pretty nicely balanced. The Far East is making some darn good cooking utensils which means that serious home cooks on a budget can finally own very good equipment without the need for a second mortgage. I sharpen ALL new knives...even $200 ones. Once sharpened, this knife has turned out to be a good one. If you are itching for a Santoku, this is a good one. After you sharpen it.

Nice heft, handles well, excellent value for the money. Not razor sharp, but good enough for most uses.

I bought this adapter for an older 3283dvs sander, which originally came with a flimsy bag filter. I also added a microfilter cartridge. After sanding a kitchen's worth of cabinets and 8 conference room tables, I don't think the system has collected more than a couple of tablespoons of dust. Most of it ends up on the outside of the sander or in the air. Apparently, my sander is just not set up right for the pressurization of the microfilter.

I am a big fan of Bosch tools and believe they are genuinely well-engineered. But I bought this system on their customer support agent's recommendation and wish I hadn't

No idea what the reviewer below is trying to say. If you are serious about collecting dust while sanding, this is a must have item. I've been using it for 4 years with 3725DEVS sander and all I can say is it works.

This thing frick'en rocks! I'm using this blower as a regular room/office fan because its quiet and circulates tons of fresh air even when it's running on the low speed. As far as durability -it is to early to say but it appears to be pretty stout. I like it so much I'm probably going to get a second one so I don't have to bring one back and forth from work to home. (I got the free shipping and it still arrived in two days to Tennessee so that was a plus as well.)

This fan is small in size but moves tons of air. The one feature you don't see in the photos is that the fan pivots all the way around to turn into a floor dryer. The picture just shows half of its movement. Great little fan to have, you won't be disappointed.

Compact and moves serious air. Low noise. Very directional air flow, great for venting a room quickly. The cord is massive and good length, almost half the weight of the unit. So you can run 2 power tools off the 2, 3 prong outlets on the main unit, assuming the wall outlet can take the power drain without tripping a fuse.
Nice large handle.

We bought this fan to replace a old fan my husband likes a noisy fan since he is a light sleeper to drown out other noises, he like the quality the oly thing it does loosen up after a little bit but that is fixable and it can move the air real good.
