    Rowenta DR5020 Hand Held Steamer Brush Removes The Wrinkles

    December 12th, 2016

    Product review of hand held steamer.

    To have clothes is to have wrinkles. To tackle those pesky wrinkles without an iron, consider a Rowenta DR5020 Ultra Steam 800-Watt Handheld Steamer Brush. Not to be confused with any cheap, plastic predecessors, this is one steamer that is fast and tough on wrinkles. Here’s how it works: take the steamer and fill up removable one and two-thirds ounce water tank. Plug it in, wait around thirty seconds to a minute – you’ll know it’s ready when the light goes off – and push the button for continuous steam. The 800 watts and wide steam head will ensure the steam is ready to fight wrinkles. A removable fabric brush and lint pad are also included.

    The ergonomically designed handle gives a nice place for your hand to grip and a hanging hook is also available for use as needed. This Rowenta Hand Held Steamer model also has dual 120w/240w voltage. Customers reviewing the Rowenta Steamer on Amazon were split pretty equally on their opinions. About half of the reviews were positive, saying the steamer lived up to its product descriptions. One common opinion was the water tank was on the small side, requiring multiple refills during use.

    Magna Folding Hand Truck Is Made Of Sturdy Rustproof Aluminum

    Everyone needs a helping hand now and again, especially those in a line of work that requires heavy lifting. Nobody enjoys the back breaking labor of hauling boxes of supplies and inventory around one by one with their bare hands. Those familiar with a career in retail or traveling trade shows might enjoy the benefits of the Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck. The Magna foldable hand truck features a sturdy yet flexible design perfect for lifting heavy loads with ease. Constructed with rustproof aluminum, the Folding Hand Truck is strong and capable of carrying loads up to 150lbs. The hand truck can be folded to a compact size of 25 inches tall and 2 inches wide.

    This allows it to be stored out of the way when not in use. Many other hand trucks and carts are available, but few come with the combination of strength and low price that the Magna Cart model offers. Other metal models can cost twice as much without offer twice the capabilities of the Magna Cart. While the vast majority of online reviewers were pleased with their Magna aluminum hand truck, not everyone found the hand truck to be high quality in design. The two biggest complaints about the hand cart were the placement of its wheels and flimsy back rods. Negative reviewers found that heavy loads would stress the back support rods and that the wheels were poorly placed, making pivoting difficult. The Magna platform hand truck may not be the best option for individuals or small businesses that do frequent, heavy lifting. However it would fit the bill under moderate use conditions and is priced right for those seeking an inexpensive alternative.

    Small product picture of an electric patio heater.

    Keep you and your guests feeling nice and toasty during those chilly evenings entertaining on your porch, deck, or veranda. The folks at Fire Sense came up with a Telescoping Infrared Indoor/Outdoor Heater that claims to provide heat indoors or outdoors at a fraction of the cost of propane units. This 1500-watt electric patio heater starts providing heat within seconds and warms a nine foot area. The heat source on this patio heater features a glass cover and is mounted on an offset pole. It emits no UV rays, boasts a silent operation and can be easily used indoors or outside in the backyard or patio area.

    When outside, this outdoor patio heater’s warmth output is not affected by wind and provides consistent heat. Wheels are included on the unit to easily move it from place to place. It weighs in at 55 pounds, which adds to the overall stability and safety of the unit, and features a sturdy 33 inch base. The heater can also extend fully to 87 inches. There weren’t a whole lot of customer reviews on this product available, but what I did see was positive. It is very much worth noting that this stainless steel patio heater needs a lot of power to operate; consumers found that the heater often trips circut breakers because of its power usage. However, consumers did note the unit does heat in seconds and provides great heat.
