Housewares Reviews

I wish I could give it five,
it does keep the bugs alive,
but is doesn't suck really very strong
so you have to really just push the bugs alone,
into the front of the container,
yes I could write this review plainer,
but I want to have fun
and my BugBuster enthusiasm is undone,
because it only works so-so,
now I am going to go

This is one of the better items to have hit the market in a long time. I am thinking that once the word breaks loose, everyone in Buffalo and all across the country will be vacuuming up the cute little critters...and placing them gently back into the loving arms of Moma Nature. Do not delay!!! Go forth and buy the Bug Buster! (also helps in administering eye drops)

I've caught many spiders with a BugBuster (and released them outside), but it was not powerful enough to suck in a yellowjacket crawling within a crevice of an aluminum window frame -- you need a shopvac for that! This device is totally worth the money though, and I use it everyday on spiders and other small bugs.

I WOULD RATE THIS ITEM -0- STAR BUT IT IS NOT AN OPTION.
THERE ARE TOO MANY STYLES/MODELS. IT IS VERY CONFUSING. CHECK ITEM SPECIFICS CAREFULLY TO AVOID GETTING THE WRONG STYLE/MODEL.
THIS VACUUM HAS STATIONARY BRUSHES. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE MODELS W/ SPIN-SCRUB.

I really like this but I wish I'd spent a little more & opted for the rotating brushes & gotten the one w/attachments to get into tight spaces. This doesn't fit around my toilet bowls. Now I've got to get down on my hands & knees to scrub around them. I bought the machine to avoid this but the price was great & it does a really nice job on the tiles & laminate flooring.

I am more than pleased with this Hoover Floormate! I sure has cleaned my ceramic kitchen floor with ease-no more mop and pail of water! I would recommend it to everyone! So glad we purchased it!!!

This is my second Panasonic upright because I hate manually rewinding the cord. This vacuum has a powerful motor, long cord, is lightweight, has on-board tools, a stair handle in front and the top of handle isn't too high for a short person. They say that most upright manufacturers don't make the cord reel because they break, but my previous one lasted 7 years with no problem. The only thing about these Panasonics is that they tip over easily when you're using the wand.

In over twenty years of dealing with litterboxes, I have never had to even consider wearing gloves (never mind a biohazard suit) to scoop them out or clean them. That all changed overnight when Littermaid entered my life. This evil apparatus gets cat excreta in all its flimsy and byzantine little nooks and crannies, in the inaccessible spaces beneath it, and somehow prompts the kitty to not think but pee outside the box. For one day's respite from scooping, one pays with a horrid session of scooping the thing out anyway, scraping gunk out the rake and all the little slots and inlets of the box, and, worst of all, wrestling the unevenly crud-filled "receptacle" out from the crud-encased little slots, inevitable dousing one's foot with the little puddles of pee and globs of poop that have somehow collected thereupon, removing the stinking, sodden newspapers its sits on -- and there's really no way to lift the thing without it coming apart or smutching up one's hands -- then there's the broom, the paper towels, the floor spray --

And, after six hellish weeks, it mercifully stopped working.

It's a good box. We've heard nothing be bad about the basic box, so we went with the Elite Utra Mega. I agree with the other reviewer on the smaller tines, but then it may strain their little engine, but it really has to do with the clumping ability and time. We've tried many kitty litters in ours. we recommend World's Best. Arm and hammer seemed not to clump well enough within that 10 minute delay time and also the clay dust seems to build up on the tracks. Ew. World's Best litter is expensive, but I hate to say it, the stuff works. And no "Fresh scent" just clean scent. So it doesn't smell like poop and Glade.

Also agree with lining the kitty poop trays with plastic store bags. We notice we change out every 3 - 4 days. Obviously these are the moneymakers like ink cartridges are to the printers.

We do a full cleaning of the entire box every month. The Pam or silicone spray on the box is a great idea and works very well.

Wish there was a way to change the time rake delay from activation to a little bit longer. Sometimes clumping takes more than 10 minutes. Also wish there was more of a way to set the "Night time" timer with a start and stop time rather than just a 9 hour block.

I have experience with the older version and I do like this new version more. The sleep timer and removable rack are very nice. I hear many people complaining about the litter level. I have yet to have any problems, I think the important thing to remember is that you need to make sure no part of the litter is above the full line, just make sure all of your litter is below that when you fill it up and you will be fine.

One of the previous review mentioned taking off the wheels, I did this because I found that the wheels were raising the rack too high when it is emptying the waist into the basket. Removing the wheels lowered the rack to the perfect level so that no waist went below the rake.

I also suggest that you buy with a warrantee because there are a number of people who have problems. Mainly the problems are because they put too much litter in the box, and if you do that DO NOT tell littermaid that you did just say the motor burned out or something they will just send you a new one.

Also, there are a million different versions of the product LM500, LM550, LM600... it is important to know that there really are only 2 versions and 2 sizes for each version. The large version it really for Large cats. The concept of multiple cats is just an advertising phrase; any of the boxes will work for multiple cats

I would like to rate this product 5 stars. This is the first time that I used this fresh bag and it really makes your fruit and vegetables fresh for a long time. I have my tomatoes, celery, carrots, etc. wrapped in this bag and it will stay fresh for more than two weeks. I would like everybody to try this product and you will not regret it.
