I hesitated before buying a Rowenta iron. My old Black and Decker had served me well for many years. When it died, I was going to replace it with a newer model, but a friend of mine was raving over her Rowenta and how easy it made ironing for her. I was intrigued enough to purchase this model and try it out for myself. I have to say this is the best iron I have ever used! The soleplate glides a...

I am a complete beginner at sewing! I always admired people who could sew, and decided that maybe I could teach myself the basics with a good, beginner sewing machine. This Singer is perfect for anyone who doesn't know a whole lot about sewing or sewing machines. It looks very well made, and solid, weighing in at 20 pounds and seems sturdy enough to last for many years. It comes with an ins...

I think that this is a great leaf blower for the price that you pay. It is what it is - nothing fancy, really - just a powerful and lightweight leaf blower that is easy to use! You will need an extension cord for this model, but since they are easily found in both 50 and 100 foot lengths, this is a minor hassle. It's very nice not to have to smell gasoline fumes while you are cleaning your ...

Youth Dew by Estee Lauder was first introduced in 1953. It is a timeless classic. Women love it as much today as they did 54 years ago. This has been my number one favorite perfume for many years. I've tried many other different perfumes, and while most of them have their merits, I always seem to come back to Youth Dew. I always seem to receive so many compliments when I wear it! It is a ve...

Clinique's Happy certainly lives up to its name! It's a happy, cheerful fragrance that can lift your mood the moment you smell it. Introduced in 1997, it is one of the top five best selling fragrances in the United States. It's a citrus/floral blend with notes of grapefruit, Hawaiian Wedding Flower, and Boysenberry Bush Flower that seems to smell better the longer you wear it. I thi...

 Dove Original Scent is one of the best deodorant/antiperspirants I have ever used! I used to be very devoted to Secret deodorant, but the commercials for Dove intrigued me until I just had to try it. I'm so glad I did! I am a woman who does not perspire very much at all, but I still use doedorant/antiperspirant just to keep fresh. I am not sure how well this product would perform for ...

I like the regular Gillette Venus razors very much, so I thought I would try the new Venus Breeze. What makes the Venus Breeze different from the original Venus is the addition of "gel bars", which are meant to lubricate your legs and eliminate the need for shaving cream.I loved the idea of not having to use shaving cream, and had the idea that the Venus Breeze would be very handy and...

Excedrin Migraine is the pain reliever of choice for those people who. like me, are unable to take prescription migraine medications such as Relpax and Zomig. The caplets are easy to swallow and contain caffeine, aspirin, and acetomenophin - the generic name for Tylenol. In my experience, one caplet when you first feel a headache coming on seems to do the trick, even though the package directio...

Claritin 24 Hour Allergy Tablets do help with my allergies very much, but the 'non-drowsy" aspect of this product is a joke. I realize that some people can take this medication and go on about their daily routine, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. If I took Claritin in the morning, I would do nothing but sleep all day long! In order to get allergy relief, I must take the Clariti...

The bed in my guest room is an extra-long twin, and it has become increasingly difficult to find sheet sets for this size mattress at an affordable price. When I saw these Wamsutta all-cotton flannel sheets at Amazon.com, I was skeptical that a quality sheet set could cost so little. I'm so glad that I went ahead and bought them, for the quality is exceptional!The set contains one flat shee...

When my old television gave up the ghost, I knew I wanted a plasma tv to replace it. I did my research and decided on a Panasonic TH-42PX75U, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life! The picture is amazingly clear and sharp, even when you're not watching a high definition cable channel. It's so lifelike, it's better than going to the movies! DVDs look very...

I love red small kitchen appliances and cookware! When I saw this beautiful red Hamilton Beach coffeemaker, I just had to buy it, even though I had a perfectly good coffeemaker at home. I'm glad I bought it, and not just because the color suits me! This is a 12 cup coffeemaker that is easy to program, easy to clean, and maybe most importantly - it DOESN'T DRIP when you pour a cup of cof...

I bought this blender to match the rest of the red kitchen gadgets I am collecting. But, it does a lot more than just sit on the countertop and look pretty! The Hamilton Beach 5223WV is a sturdy blender that will help you perform kitchen magic every day!  I am a smoothie lover. I make a smoothie nearly every day, and you have to have a good blender to get the job done. This one has a neat ...

This is a beautifully designed, cheerful red two-slice toaster. Hamilton Beach did a superb job with this! The top of the toaster is set at an angle, allowing you to easily view the contents as they toast. The bread slots are very wide, and there is a special setting for bagels. There are settings which allow you to select how brown you would like your toast, and they work well. Breakfast pastr...

My favorite thing about this can opener, besides the fact that it is red, is that it is an extra tall can opener! It is very difficult with most electric can openers to open items like the larger cans of coffee, tomato juice, dog food and the like, because there isn't room under the cutting mechanism for the can! Not so with the Hamilton Beach 76383. It opens all the above with ease, plus t...

This has to be one of the best products I have run across in a lon time! My family drank a LOT of bottled water, around three cases a week. With the Pur filter, we are saving a ton of money! The water tastes GREAT. but the best part is the flavored cartridges that are sold for this model. They come in strawberry, raspberry, and peach, and are absolutely delicious. The taste reminds me of Crysta...

I never thought I would be able to find a red bread box to match my other red small kitchen appliances, but I kept searching, and lo and behold, Amazon.com had a beautiful breadbox that matched perfectly! The Polder Deluxe breadbox is sturdily made with steel construction, and a nice shiny red trimmed with black plastic. The color exactly matches that shown on the Amazon website. One of the bes...

If your family enjoys freshly squeezed orange juice as much as mine does, you'll know that it can be very pricey, depending on where you buy it. I went in search of a reasonably priced juicer that would stand up to the demands of a crew of thirsty folks, and I found it in the Black and Decker CitrusMate Plus. This juicer does an exceptional job and is quite versatile, as it comes with two d...
