"BRAUN ELECTRIC RAZOR SERIES 3"

I decided this morning that I had enough of paying for expensive blades for my manual razors and decided to go back to an electric. My concern was that the shave would not be close enough in comparison to a blade. In the past I have not been a happy camper with the Norelco shavers. I decided to opt for a Braun electric but I did not want to pay for the more expensive one which was priced well over 100 bucks. Instead I went with the middle of the road which is the series 3 model which is priced as you can see above at about 69.95.

"DURALAST GOLD BRAKE PADS"

I was in dire need of new brake pads for the front and back on my Subaru Forester. I could have just taken it in to the many places that do brake jobs but I knew that I would end up with brake pads that were on the cheap side quality wise. Instead I went to Auto Zone and purchased their Duralast gold brand which is a ceramic brake pad. I purchased a set for the front and back. I have friend that does work on the side and he put in the brakes for me. He liked the looks of the quality and asked where I found them. ...

"Sears Gold DieHard Auto Battery"

I have owned my Sears DieHard gold battery for my Subaru Forster for over 3 years now. I have purchased several DieHard batteries from Sears over the years and have always been satisfied with their quality. My dad always bought them as well and he was pretty picky on what auto parts he would buy. My brother buys them for his car as well and has been happy with the product. The biggest testimony that I can think of regarding the battery is a couple of years ago when my family went to Florida on vacation for a month during December. ...

"Yokohama AS430 Tires"

I purchased 4 of these Yokohama AS 430 tires from Town Fair Tire about 4 years ago. I have put on 30,000 miles since and it looks to me like the tread has worn quite evenly. I have rotated them as recommended a very important aspect of tire care. Without doing that tires wear very unevenly. Supposedly with proper care these tires are said to be able to last in the area of 70,000 miles. They have a great ride and my experience in the rain and snow has been positive. The traction is very good under those conditions. When I purchased these...

"Bosch Platinum plus 4 spark plugs"

I had my mechanic put the Bosch platinum plus 4 spark plugs in my Subaru Forster about 3 years ago. They have been firing just fine with no problems at all noted. I have been told that these plugs can stay in service for quite a number of years without changing them. They come preset so there is no need to gap them. I noticed right away that the engine seemed to respond quicker. As I accelerated I noticed right away that it seemed much smoother. The only catch as I see it on these spark plugs is that they cost more than regular plugs. At the...

"Castrol Gtx motor oil"

I first started using Castrol motor oil many years ago back in 1978. It was a good oil then and still works great today. I had a vehicle back then that would burn a 1/2 quart of oil every 2,000 miles. I switched to Castrol motor oil and it stopped burning. It made me realize that all oils were not created equal. I personally in this day and age prefer a synthetic oil but at 5 dollars per quart many would find that cost prohibitive. Castro Gtx non-synthetic oils is a nice compromise and a very good quality of oil from my experience. I us...

"VANGUARD WELLINGTON FUND"

This is one of Vanguards best funds. It is considered to be a balanced fund which has about 2/3 of the portfolio in stocks and the other 1/3 in fixed income investments as in bonds. It is one of investment adviser Morningstar's favorite sleep at night funds. I am not surprised at this as the funds long term bear market rank is better than 86% of its peers. This fund has lost money in only 3 of the last 20 calendar years. Its year to date performance is 8.64%, 1 year performance 13.51% , 5 year performance 13.31% , 10 years comes in at an...

"Sears Kenmore washing machine"

I purchased this washing machine quite a number of years ago. It just keeps running and running without any problems. I keep expecting to have to replace this but it just keeps on running strong. This one certainly owes me nothing. The clothes just keep on coming out nice and clean. I should also mention that it has many settings for various types of clothes. The capacity is much larger than the ones that I have seen in the laundry mats. Considering how long it has lasted I would certainly have to say ...

"Cushcraft R-5 Vertical antenna"

I have owned this antenna for about 16 years. It has been anchored on the side of my house for years and has survived assorted bad weather and the elements for all these years. I have used it as the main stay antenna for my ham radio station. It was designed for operation on the 10,12,15,17 and 20 meter ham radio bands. Its claim to fame over the years was that when the beam type antenna's came down in a nasty storm the R-5 vertical antenna stayed up. That certainly was the scenario in many cases that I witnessed over my 17 years in ham ...

"VANGUARD GNMA INCOME FUND"

This is a great mutual fund by the folks at Vanguard. For anyone who knows about this fund family they realize that the one thing that Vanguard does probably better than the rest is keep the expense ratio's of their funds very low. They are also no load funds.  Huge benefits for the investor. This particular GNMA fund has been one of the best that I know of over the years. The expense ratio of this fund is an anemic 0.21 % which is terrific. By comparison the peers of this fund throughout the rest of the mutual fund world average an...

" New Balance Model 927 Walking Shoes"

Decided I would buy a new pair of walking shoes just to have another pair available. I already own this models earlier version which is the 926. I have it in the black color and it has been so comfortable I decided to purchase it in the only other color available which is white. I walked into the local New Balance store and quickly found the shoe I was looking for. The service as usual was excellent and they even have a computerized shoe fitting set up to make sure you get exactly what you need. I prefer the extra wide sizes (2E) and as usua...

"WAHL DELUXE HAIRCUTTING KIT"

My barber had just retired and decided to high tail it to Florida. Rather than seek out another barber to cut my hair I spotted a haircut kit at Sam's club and asked my girlfriend if she had ever cut hair before. She said she used to cut her sons and that was good enough for me. For about 38 dollars I decided it was well worth it as one can easily pay 15-20 dollars for a haircut around here. So far she has given me 2 haircuts since I purchased this kit and they both came out pretty darn good. I am very impressed most of all by the a...

"Pro Standard floor fan"

A very powerful and very well built fan. I tend to like to use fans instead of air conditioning because of the high cost of electricity these days. I wanted one that was powerful and that I could use on the floor and also perhaps fit in the window. This one just barely fits in the window as measurement shows it to be 19 inches across it's round structure. I have to take my hat off to the Pro Standard company on this one as it certainly is powerful,heavy duty and solid. I like items that are well built and last. It has 3 speeds and genera...

"Kenmore hot water heater"

I purchased this Sears Kenmore power miser 6 gas hot water heater in May of 2005. In these two plus years that I have owned it I have had no problems with it at all. I had a very old hot water heater before this one and the flame went out on it so I decided it was time to buy a new one. Because I use natural gas to heat my water I did not want to take a chance on any gas related problems. I have had very good luck with Sears Kenmore appliances no matter what I have purchased so I was comfortable with buying this hot water heater fr...

"Listerine Total Care Anti-Cavity Mouthwash"

I have always liked the Listerine run of products so when I saw this one show up in our local B.J.'S Club I decided to get some. They came packaged in two's for about ten dollars. I have been using it now for about a month and it does seem on the strong side but I cannot say that it has a bad taste to it at all. It is supposed to take care of several dental concerns at the same time and I could tell that my mouth was quite clean after using it. For what it does my impression is that it is money well spent. Dental health is quite...

I have owned this furnace for 7 years now.  Time has gone by very quickly for sure. I was buying a new furnace and my cousin has his own business and suggested I pay the extra 500.00 at the time as he call the Thermo Pride the Cadillac of furnaces. It has an extra thick and durable heat exchanger. I have to say over the 7 years I have owned it I have had no repairs to do on it at all. I have only done routine cleanings and a precautionary belt change on the blower motor.  The m...

"Solar Butterfly Decorative Light"

Lately I have become interested in the solar lights that one puts in their garden and walkways. I purchased this one because I really liked the idea of a butterfly that changes into three different colors. Solar power is a big attraction to me as well. There is a led light in these so it should last for sometime without a problem. These were supposed to cost ten dollars each but they were closing them out at my local True Value hardware store at two for the price of one so we will see if they were worth buying or not. I just purchased them t...

"Collection Company Of America"

I have been toying about writing this review for sometime now. After mulling it all over I decided to go ahead with this. This Collection Company Of America was after someone who owed a debt to the federal government. The person had taken out a student loan and of course defaulted on it and at present is still avoiding his debts and fleeing all over the country. It all started with getting mail at my address about a debt I did not owe. Despite the fact that I sent them a certified letter and even called them explai...

"Loud doorwindow alarm that wakes the dead!"

We purchased a few of these to put on the doors of our day program to insure no one takes off unnoticed as we have a very large number of clients. Today I installed one of these as a test run to see how good or bad it is. It has a very intense sound to it but it sure will be heard in the event that someone passes through the door or window that is not supposed to. If I were a burgular and went through a door or window and heard this, I would fly outta there faster than Superman! You can turn these on and off with a key and it also has a...

"Air Health supplement by Equate"

I happened to be in Walmart this past weekend and I was looking to purchase some Airborne which is a supplement that is supposed to help prevent colds and boost the immune system. While at Walmart I noticed that there was a similar product from Equate called Air Health that was much less costly. I purchased a box of it to try. I must say that it tastes pretty good. (Lemon-Lime flavor)It appears to be very close in ingredients as well. The price for it 3.44 is a real steal. This price makes it more down to earth and gives folks with less mone...
