  • Small product picture of panasonic bread makers.

    Convenient and simple to use, the Panasonic bread maker delivers professional results right at your fingertips. From whole wheat to multigrain choices, you can enjoy all types of creations, including focaccia breads and croissants. The bread maker mixes, kneads, rises and bakes, making up to 2 ½ pounds at one time. The digital controls allow for easy operation, with options for various loaf sizes, bread types and crust colors. For freshly baked bread in advance, the maker offers a 13-hour delay timer. Although there are a variety of bread makers on the market, the Panasonic model is automatic and operates on 550-watts of power.

    This makes it much more convenient and reliable than others. Similar in design is the Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker that is slightly lower in cost. While the Cuisinart bread maker machine has added features that allow for low carb and gluten free recipes, the Panasonic model received more favorable reviews. With the Cuisinart, many product owners struggled with burnt loaves that stuck to the maker. The Panasonic bread maker on the other hand, has received excellent reviews and customers have been happy with the results, which are always consistent and make for better meals. For some customers however, the Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker broke or died early on and those faced with this problem had trouble with customer service. While most people had great experiences with the product, it’s recommended to register the product in case of any difficulties with the parts. Overall, this home bread maker is an affordable solution for baking a variety of breads that are healthy and delicious.

    Who doesn’t want beautiful, clean, glowing skin? This is just what the Clarisonic Skincare Brush promises in a convenient, easy-to-use package. This Clarisonic brush is meant to be used every day and is gentle enough for twice-a-day use. Suitable for all skin types, including even the most sensitive or trouble-prone, the brush is said to deliver instant softness as well as better hydration, even texture and that sought-after glow. The biggest draw of this brush is its ability to remove more makeup, dirt, pollutants and the like from the face than regular washing. The brush itself has some nice features which I will go into now.

    In fact, Clarisonic claims the brush removes up to six times more of these pore-clogging substances for the ultimate in clean. This ultra cleansing also prepares the skin to better receive skin care products, such as moisturizers. The brush itself has some nice features. First, it is waterproof which makes it suitable to use in or out of the shower. It is also rechargable and cordless and also has different power levels to suit the different types of skin out there. Crafted in the USA, the brush’s technology is backed by scientists and dermatologists alike. Consumers providing results online were overall very positive about this Clarisonic skin brush. Some had doubts about the brush’s ability to diminish lines and wrinkles, while others felt the brush’s price was a bit steep. However, most agreed that the brush really did provide a thorough cleaning.

  • Product review of sharp microwave ovens.

    Sharp Microwave Ovens enjoy a fairly solid reputation as reliable microwave ovens at a reasonable price point. The Sharp R-420LK Family-Size 1-2/5-Cubic-Foot Countertop Microwave Oven keeps that reputation alive and well with a 1100-watt, spacious family-sized countertop microwave oven. With a menu of 9 different sensor cook settings, a variety of options for reheating, several defrosting options and 11 levels of power, this model offers everything you could need in a full sized microwave oven. In addition to the practical functions, this Sharp Microwave Oven offers a few thoughtful features as well.

    Such features as a warming function, a hot water setting for heating single servings of warm beverages, an illuminated panel display and a safety lock. Complete with a one-year warranty, the Sharp R-420LK seems to have all you could possibly need in a family sized microwave oven. After researching the online consumer reviews for this Sharp model, it would seem that consumers agree, this is one of the best microwave ovens for the price. The large majority of reviews mentioned that the size was right and that this model offered a great deal of power. However, a few reviewers mentioned problems with the oven door not fitting properly. One reviewer even stated that the door fit so poorly that they had to use both hands to pry the door open. The positive reviews for this Sharp microwave far outweighed the few negatives, leading me to believe that as long as you don’t get a defective door, this is a great microwave.

  • Product review of the louisville slugger baseball bat.

    The name Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat is synonymous with baseball. Their wood bats have been the backbone of the sport for decades and even as composite and aluminum bats emerged on the market, the professionals still turn to wood bats to help them knock out home runs and drive in runs. The Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat is just the latest bat to emerge from the factory. Fans of using the “lumber” when they step up to the dish know to seek out the correct balance of weight, length, barrel diameter, and feel. Thankfully Louisville offers a wide selection of bat shape and tape to accomplish the customization desire.

    Wood bats like the Louisville Slugger Adult Bat offer better customization to the individual than aluminum and composite bats since they can be shaped and tapered to match anyone’s swing. On the flip side, wood bats the “pop” of their counterparts with smaller sweet spots and less power hitting ability. Unlike aluminum, wood bats are also prone to being broken or splintered. The users all agree that Louisville is the name to trust in wood bats and like the generations of bats before it, this Louisville Slugger Adult Wood Bat lives up to its name. Whether you are a pro or a purist, a wood bat from Louisville Slugger is the way to go for an authentic feel at the plate.

  • Product review of sensitive skin soap.

    If you have dry, sensitive, or irritated skin, finding ways to care for it and keep it clean without further irritation can be challenging. Consider using the sensitive skin soap by Basis. Dermatologists recommend it frequently to their patients with skin issues as it is a mild yet effective cleanser. Basis has produced a natural skin care product with its sensitive skin soap. Look at the short list of ingredients of the Basis Sensitive Skin Soap and you’ll find no harsh chemicals, dyes or artificial fragrances or perfumes. Instead, you’ll see cleansers of the mild variety, skin friendly aloe vera and chamomile as well as soothing and healing almond oil.

    The ingredients are put together in such a way that a pure formula is produced; when used, it soothes, calms and gently cleanses even the most sensitive of skin. Besides the obvious benefit to skin, reviewers also reported other bonus features of the Basis Sensitive Skin Bar. Those weighing in their opinions on the bar soap said it had no strong fragrance that would irritate those with such sensitivities or allergies, but note the bar has a clean, mild soap smell. The bar soap also rinsed completely with no film or residue on the skin, plus produced very little soap scum to clean up in the shower or tub. Reviewers also said the bar lasted a good amount of time. If there were any negatives about this product, it would be that the bar is becoming harder to find and purchase, at least according to some viewers. Overall, though, reviews were overwhelmingly positive.
