Cordless Swivel Sweeper
Swivel Sweeper Swivels and Vacuums in Multiple Directions
by Bryan_Carey
Pros: 360- Degree vacuum head; Brushes on all sides; Works great on smooth floors
Cons: Not as good on carpets, but still works
Floors need to be swept periodically and this often entails pulling out the heavy duty vacuum cleaner and getting to work. But what if the job is small? Some consumers might try to walk around with a paper towel and pick up smaller messes, one bit at a ...

Hoover Steamvac Silver F59150900
My carpet MIRACLE!
by bablondie25
Pros: Works excellently, amazing suction power, carpets dry fast, easy to use, great price!
Cons: ZERO.
I don't just go out and buy anything. I like to look at reviews, do tons of research and ask other people online (or in person) if they like something before making any major (and minor) purchases. I value my money and I don't like things to pile up in ...

Traeger Industries BBQ070 All-in-One Grill / Smoker
Revolutionary Barbeque
by patrollergirlNew Member
Pros: It is an easy to use product that will smoke or grill any meat.
Cons: It is expensive compared to other grills. It doesn't remain hot enough to sear steaks.
It’s the middle of summer. The temperatures are soaring. You have to make dinner, but really don’t want to heat up the house. You look outside and wonder if your grill will bake a frozen pizza. You want excellent tasting prime rib, but the ...

Roper REX4634KQ Electric Dryer
After five years, I'm ready to part with this one

Pros: It was cheap

Five years ago, my wife, two daughters and I moved into a new house.  Shortly after that, our old avocado green Lady Kenmore dryer (a freebie ... what, you think I'd buy something in that color?) caught fire.I got the fire out, but that left ...

Hoover U4707-900 Upright Vacuum
Great altenative to those wanting an Oreck but little $$
by truthjustice
Pros: Light weight.  Great Suction.   Much Lower price than Oreck with Oreck like features.  Long Cord.
Cons: Not an Oreck
I've been considering a lighter weight more manuverable vacuum for the past year. I have fought with my aging Bissell with hose attachments.  Don't get me wrong.  My Bissell was a good tough and strong suction machine.  However, it was a ...

Pros: Compact, lightweight, relatively quiet, power control literally at your fingertips.
Cons: Weak suction, flimsy, many petty annoyances.

Haier HVT12ABS (4.44 cu. ft.) Compact Wine Cooler

Pros: Simple, straightforward design; easy to use; did the job adequately until it stopped cooling.
Cons: Lasted until the warranty ran out, then quit.
I bought the Haier HVT12ABS Compact Wine Cooler in late summer of 2007. It hummed away on my kitchen counter for just about a year, seemingly doing its job adequately.Then, one day, I noticed that the fan was running continuously and, yet, the ...

Pros: Easily cooks food in a hurry
Cons: Hard to clean; too sensitive to electrical surges
This Sharp Microwave Oven is the second microwave I have owned. I don't remember what brand the first one was, but the Sharp has lasted much longer. Once you're in the habit of using the microwave, you can't live without one, so when the original one ...

Pros: I like the compact size and the various safety features. 
Cons: It does not meet my heating capacity requirement.  It is barely warm.
This heater is a joke.  I do not understand how Holmes has the audacity to call this a heater.  I could probably strike a match and feel more warmth.  Holmes named this the Compact heater.  I like the small size and shape. Most ...

Ace Hardware Econo-Heat (0601) Wall Mounted Panel Heater
Excellent, for what it is...
by cbmtrx
Pros: - Economical
- Generally quite safe
- Paintable & moderately easy installation
- Attractive
- Silent
Cons: - So-so heating capacity by itself
- Only for small rooms
- Restrictive installation locations
We had purchased 4 of these heaters to supplement our expensive oil heating. I work from a small home office and so heating the whole house during the day was unnecessary. Instead we run the furnace once in the morning, and then once or twice at night, ...

The Sharp R-305 1100 Watt microwave oven is by far the fastest microwave oven I've ever used. With most microwaves I have to add additional time on top of the product recommendations; with this one I frequently have to chop time off of it. That made for ...

First impressions. Usually they are accurate. Sometimes they’re not. This time I think I got it right. As I took the ACEEX12 Dryer Heater Diverter out of the box and held it in my hands I instantly thought it reeked of cheapness and shoddiness. Its ...

Cons: Not for large families or multi-servings.
