Home and Kitchen Reviews

We have stainless appliances and a glass cooktop - the cloth is WONDERFUL for wiping away prints, grease, mess etc. I use it at the end with hot water and then wipe down (quickly) all the rest of the appiances - frig, dishwasher, trash can top, etc...so every thing looks great.

The glove fits conveniently however, beware before you reach into a hot oven. Within about 5 seconds I could feel that the glove was not heat resistant. Within 30 seconds I dropped the hot oven rack in the sink. It's fine for moderately hot items and for the toaster oven but it is not truly heat proof to 480 degrees as they claim.

Very satisfied with the order and service. I would certainly recomend the use of this supplier to anyone wishing to purcase from them.

I'm only sorry that I didn't purchase two...and that's exactly what I'm about to do.
It feels, fits and performs perfectly. They are much nicer and safer to use than a towel or any potholder. Hot steam can permeate the woven fabric, but there are no other negatives.
The one-size-fits-all glove fits my large hand and my wife's petite hand. It even cleans up in the wash machine.

I bought this iron as I was in need of one and I did not want to spend too much money on it. This product is worth the money paid for it. It does do the steam ironing but I feel the heat is bit lessened because of the presence of water before the hot plate. While for dry ironing, this is perfectly OK

Its funny how many people have never heard of a microwave cover. Instead of using soggy paper towels, plastic lids, and other coverings for reheating microwave meals, use something designed for the microwave. Made out of dishwasher safe plastic, these covers go direcly over whatever your cooking and protect from splatter. This particular brand comes in sets of two so when one is dirty, the other can be used. Cleaning a microwave is time consuming, these covers saves you this ordeal. These covers are so inexpensive, and are so practical. Its a worthwhile purchase.

I purchase this unit for doing spot cleaning in the house and the floor mats of the cars/truck. I had to put the unit into action shortly after it arrived when I knocked over a can of Code Red MD soda trying to answer a phone the other afternoon. The unit required a little assembly, but it only took a couple of minutes. I could pretty much assemble and operate the unit without really needing to read the manual. It goes together well and is easy to see how to fill the hot water from your sink (no on board heater) and where to put the soap. I was able to clean the up the red soda with no trouble. I went ahead and cleaned more the carpet in the house. The unit operated well and did a pretty good job. I got a little carried away with spray so it took overnight to dry. It is completely controllable; I just used the trigger a little too much. The basic brush and the small upholstery brush all worked well.

The reason that I did not give the unit five stars was because the water can cool quickly since you fill it at the tap and the installation of the water tank can cause some water to be released from the values on the bottom if you do not have it aligned correctly as you and installing it after filling. I cannot compare it to a professional unit since I have not rented one in years, but this unit is a lot easier to operate since it is all on unit and it ready when you are, especially if you spill something in the living room while the wife is out shopping. Overall I like the unit and it is a good value for the money.

We have light colored carpet, one child, and a dog. Unless I wanted to pay a professional to clean the carpet on a regular basis, this Hoover Steam Vac was the only way to keep my carpet clean. I was THRILLED with the results the first time I used it and it still works well 3 years later. It is AMAZING (and disgusting, actually) to see the dirty water that comes from the bucket after you use it. But the other reviewers are correct in that the solution tank did start leaking so you will need to pay about $40 for a new one. But at least it is only leaking CLEAN water and not the dirty water which would have been totally unaceptable. Mine started leaking water after about a year and eventually had to be totally replaced after about two years (in between that time I would just make sure I ran the machine over the carpet more often than before to suck up any of the leaked clean water). Recommend you use the hottest water you can get from your faucet for the best clean because there really isn't any "steam" as the name implies. But for about $300 I think it was well worth the price. You would pay a LOT more than that to have your carpet done by professionals a few times. And since most household appliances and electronics need to have parts replaced after a while I don't see that as a big deal. I use it two to three times a month and would not want to be without it!

The carpet cleaner was easy to set up and use, worked well, and did a good job on the carpets. It also sucked out the water so that the carpets dried quickly. We are quite happy with it.

I bought this vacuum as a cheap "in between" vacuum while I saved up to get a better one. It did a pretty good job cleaning my small apartment for about a month. It has a nice LED which tells you when you need to clean the cup and filter. This is also, unfortunently, when the vacuums suction has dwindled to nill. This happens often. After a few minutes of medium to heavy cleaning, the whole thing needs to be cleaned, otherwise your just pushing the thing back and forth for show. After about a month, this condition became permanent. The light stayed on, and the vacuum was basically useless. I hesitate to give this product one star, because it would probably be good for small jobs and light cleaning. Just don't buy it and expect it to be your primary vacuum.

Pluses: lightweight, great for hard floors, very strong suction, telescoping wand.

Minuses: Extremely loud, non-adjustable suction makes it very difficult to go over any type carpet, ridiculously short electric cord. Manual says hepa filter is washable, but my vacuum wouldn't work after I washed mine.

I haven't had this long, but I really like it. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because amazon says it retails at almost$100. ( And that is where I bought it!) Best Buy and Target sell it for less than $50 when it is not even on sale. I should have gotten up and checked around! DO NOT even attempt to ues this to clean the whole house. This is great for quick jobs. I love this for smashed goldfish crackers and things like that. Every mom of a child who still spills needs this or something like it!!

First of all let me state that I am very happy with this coffee maker. It makes good coffee quite quickly, and does not leak all over the counter the way my old De Longhi did.

Although it is sold as a 12 cup coffee maker, it is much better to only make 10 cups with this unit, as the carafe is very full and difficult to pour without spilling, when filled to its 12 cup capacity. There is no 12-cup mark on the carafe... it appears to be identical to the one included with 10-cup models.

The weird quirk, is that the basket does swing open once in a while when brewing, as stated by other reviewers. What appears to happen is that the little catch that retains the basket looses tension with time, heat and perhaps the high humidity present. This catch is located on the left side of the coffee maker, above and behind the tab that supports the basket from the top rim when it is swung into place. I bend the catch down periodically with a small screwdriver, and the basket stays in place!

Great coffee and no basket swing out !

soo easy to use! and such delicious coffee .. i suggest this coffee maker to anyone who loves coffee

Over six decades I've tried many ways of brewing coffee. The Mr. Coffee AR12 makes the best coffee I've enjoyed. It has no "extra features", indeed, does not need them. It works better than any other I've tried and promises to continue doing so well into the future.

I LOVE this product, it forms perfectly shaped hamburger patties in less time and much less mess! You can either purchase or cut out wax paper circles and place them on the bottom of the press before you place your ball of meat ontop to produce clean release burgers everytime! By doing this, you can stack freshly pressed burgers one right on top of the other without them mashing and sticking together. You can make up several hamburgers/turkey burgers ahead of time, stack, zip lock and freeze them for whenever you need to pull out a quick meal from the freezer!
