I have several small digital cameras which I really like, but when I saw this Olympus 12MP Digital Camera featured on HSN, I thought I would give it a try because it has features my other small digitals don't have.I own a professional Olympus SLR camera that I use for business.  I don't want to use my professional camera for normal fun shooting of everyday things.  This camera...

We are getting ready to move to a new house and we were looking for an inexpensive TV to put in my son's new playroom. My husband saw The Sharper Image Wonderwall Entertainment Projector at Belk on sale for $64.99 and thought it would be a cool inexpensive alternative. With the Wonderwall you are able to hook up video games, cable boxes, DVD players and other kinds on components to it ...

Surprisingly enough I have an auto mechanic that I trust.  When I needed a new battery this winter he said that the best one for my car was the Wal-Mart Ever Start Maxx.I had not ever had any work done at the Wal-Mart Auto Shop, but since the price for the battery was based on turning in your old battery core, and the installation was supposedly free, I decided to let them do it.  Oth...

I purchased the Magic Bullet Blender to make baby food for my infant.  It worked wonderfully.  I was able to steam the vegetables in the microwave in one of the cups with the steamer lid.  You then just had to remove the lid, screw on the blender attachment, and blend away.  I was very happy with the product and I still use it today to steam vegetable for my son, even though...

I recently had some painting done in the living room area of my house.  I bought an expensive paint at Home Depot and hired a painter to do the job.  It cost me a fortune in paint!  So when I decided to take a DYI approach and tackle other rooms in my home, I knew I had to find a paint that was less expensive and still do a good job at coverage.Enter Color Place paint.  This...

My new house has hardwoods, Travertine and ceramic tile though out. When we first moved in, I had no idea how I was going to clean it all and what supplies I was going to need to do it right. My husband and I spent hours online researching the best tools to use and we decided to give the Shark Deluxe Steam Mop a try. The Shark Steam Mop cleans floors by heating plain water into a steam and...

The house I live in was built in 1940. Until last fall it still sported the original windows; they were single panes of glass fitted in a wooden frame, and each window had six glass panes on the top half and six glass panes on the bottom half. I spent many years frustrated with my old windows. In the winter they were not only cold, but they also would condense on the inside because of the tempe...

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 o...

I'm tired of raking leaves and purchased this Worx product. I haven't really used it much,but here's my limited review(update later). Assembly was easy and the product  seemed quite durable and nicely made, also comes with a dvd on usage and safety. I had alittle problem trying to put the bag on my shoulder and use the blower.  After some adjustment, things went ...

When our central air died earlier this summer we decided to replace not only the air but also install a new gas furnace since both units were over 35 years old.  Our old furnace was a monster downstairs and after doing a little research and having several heating companies come out, we decided to go with the Amana Model AMV9070, 70,000 btu, 96%, 2 stage, variable speed gas furnace.The pric...

I tried out the Scunci and was unimpressed.  I was pleasantly suprised by the Shark Steamer.  It has fewer attachments then the Scunci, but I never used all the attachments of my Scunci anyway.  It also does not have that nifty carrying bag, but for $20 less I love it!My only complaint is that the steamer seems to shoot out a little too much water.  I wanted it to be pure st...

Liquid Sandpaper is meant to be used as a de-glossing agent if you want to paint over a surface that has had a high-gloss coating.  I can’t tell that it works any better than a piece of sandpaper, or if it does anything at all.I had the chance to try this product by Klean-Strip on some shelves that had high-gloss enamel paint on them.  It is meant to be used on paint, varnish, e...

I talked to my cable TV repairmen recently, whom claimed this modem is on its last legs. It is about 3 years old. He claimed they are making modems cheaper and with less longevity than years ago and my modem life is about average, I rated it slightly higher than average reliability since it hads not failed yet. The speed is nothing to right home to mother about. It has done a servicea...

When my husband and I bought our beautiful, then-74 year old house, the windows (all 43 of them!) were the original, wavy-paned,wooden-framed windows.  A good number of the windows on our second floor refused to open, which meant that they couldn't be cleaned properly.  And all the windows had all the insulative properties of Swiss cheese!  During our first winter in the...

I can honestly say I love my stove! I feel pampered and spoiled to be able to cook on this beauty! The thing I love most about my Jenn-air is the ability to grill whenever I want to. The stove has cartridges that allow me to interchange my radiant cook surface with my grilling parts. So I almost always have the grill set up on one side, and a two-burner radiant top on the other. On Thanksgivi...

I really don't like this medication AT ALL!!  My chemical makeup is wacky enough and to be honest, this medication takes me on a trip you wouldn't believe!  I hear voices, people talking that aren't there, singing, music - all not there!  I go in and out of sleep continuously...the list goes on. With this medication I think I come as close to knowing and understanding...

The devil made me do it! In a sheer moment of shopping insanity, Froggy purchased the two for one deal on the Ronco Six Star Knife sets. With 25 pieces each and a lifetime warranty, how could a sane Froggy resist??? After all, this includes all those glorious knives, a wooden block and...... a meat injector! Oh happy day. Aided and abetted by her trusty boys who were howling encouragement from ...

I don't know if anyone else has ever tried the financing company called Drivetime. They are a company that allows buyers with bad credit, no credit, and banruptcies to buy a car (like second chance financing). They have cars from about 2001 and newer on their lots and  most of the lots are located in Southern California and Nevada. Most of the sales people are very nice, however w...

  Last year I put my husband through another of my "let's do this honey" projects.  My idea was to redo the small half bath off our kitchen as it hadn't been touched since we moved in 35 years ago.My vision was to basically gut the room and start over.  We needed a new toilet anyway and that's what got me to thinking about this in the first place.  New ...

The Numark TT1625 is perfect for beginner DJ's.  It's a direct drive, running on a motor instead of a belt.  It's equipped with its own Numark needle and cartridge.  It's a fairly good quality turntable if you are just getting into the DJ scene and you don't wish to spend a lot of money on your equipment.The system is pretty durable and has lasted through some...
