This barbeque looks impressive and its performance lives up to its looks. It really gets hot and holds its heat. Ceramic bricks radiate infrared heat and protect the burners from drips. These bricks will apparently last for years (hotter, longer lasting, and cleaner than lava rock). The barbeque has sturdy double walled construction. I have the propane model, but there is also one if you wa...

This Whirlpool Calypso Washer is a High Efficiency (HE) design.   HE washers are similar in function to a front loader, but face upward so they are a top loader.  They are water efficient and spin twice as fast as a typical top loader so they result in much drier clothes (and less drying time).One of the things that I like best about this design is that it does not have a standar...

I have owned three Dustbusters in the past 10 years.  First a 9.6 volt, then a 14.4 volt, and now an 18 volt one.  I think it might be like a drug tolerance where users find it necessary to use more to get the same result.  No that was a joke... Actually, since I use my Dustbuster a lot I think it is worth having a decent one.  Since my previous Dustbuster slowly lost the ab...

The Rejuvenique Facial Toning System consists of a funny looking electronically controlled mask and a container of conductive Enriched Toning Gel.  The mask contains 26 gold-plated contact points which are spring loaded to conform to almost any size of face.  A washable headband keeps the mask comfortably on your face so you have two hands free to read or do other things during the 15...

 I first heard about Melatonin about fifteen years ago when it was being promoted as a supplement to help combat Jet-Lag by helping you fall asleep and reset your natural sleep rhythm in the new time zone.  Initially, I was only able to find Melatonin in small packages at quite high prices.More recently, the benefits of using Melatonin as a general sleep aid have become more well know...

I loan this to friends as much as I use it myself, but when it is needed I am sure glad to have one.  Use it on road trips, business trips, taking clothes to Goodwill, or going to the cleaners. If you need to help somebody move out fast in the middle of the night this is what you want. This expandable clothes bar can be kept in the trunk of your car at its storage length of 36 inches - it ...

There are a number of reasons why you should consider buying your tires from your local new car dealer.When I needed tires, I researched on the Internet, spoke with some friends, and went to a couple of the well known tire retail stores.  I had trouble getting information on (or making comparisons to) the tires at the discount tire chains - they were selling house brands which they claimed...

Plant Protection Frost Blankets help protect delicate plants and fruit from harsh weather.Even though I live in relatively temperate Northern California, it does get cold enough during some nights each year to damage or kill tender plants and citrus.   I just covered my lemon tree, some papaya plants, and a pineapple plant with frost blankets so I don't get caught by surprise.   A...

I have to admit that this was an impulse buy when I saw it in one of the bargain baskets at the entrance to Fry's Electronics.  Although I have not had problems with my laptop over heating, sometimes it does get a bit warm.   For $4.99, it just seemed to be too good a deal to pass up. At about 12.25 by 9.5 inches, it is a bit small for my large 17" (diagonal) laptop and a bit...

Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food is easy to use and very effective.I like a general purpose fertilizer rather than having different ones for flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, etc.  Though I might be giving up a bit of effectiveness, I am willing to accept that versus having many different containers of plant food.  That said, I do believe Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food does a de...

I bought my Oral-B Professional Care electric toothbrush on the recommendation of my dentist.  It has resulted in better check-ups and makes brushing more fun.  It does not take up very much counter space in the bathroom, and the base is easy to keep clean and holds up to four brush heads when not in use. The life of the brushes is very good, although they don't seem overly firm, ...
