  • Small product picture of a eureka handheld vacuum.

    Tired of lugging around an oversized vacuum that doesn’t seem to have power? The Eureka Handheld Vacuum is affordable and lightweight, turning vacuuming into a less dreaded chore. Instead of dragging around a vacuum, this handheld design features a 20-foot cord and cleans upholstery, sofas and stairs. The portable vacuum also features two different motors, one for powering the revolving brush and one for powering the suction. With the 5.5 amp motor, you’ll never be disappointed with the suction and power of this vacuum. The compact design includes a crevice tool for reaching tight spaces.

    In addition, the bagless filter and clear dust cup make for easy cleaning. Customers love this product and feel that it stands ahead of the popular Dirt Devil handheld vacuums that have been on the market for quite some time. Many online reviews feel that the Dirt Devil blows dust back into the air and has rather poor suction. The Eureka on the other hand, continues to impress product owners, as it is powerful and comfortable to use. Even with all the positive reviews, some consumers had trouble with their Eureka vacuum. Most of the negative complaints were in regards to personal preferences rather than the quality of the machine, such as consumers wanting a retractable cord. However, some product owners found that the motor burned out after a few uses. While under warranty, it is still limited, so reviews urge others to keep all warranty information on hand. On the whole, this a great machine that is perfect for cleaning couches, upholstery, stairs or as a car vacuum all without needing a big vacuum.

  • Product review of a silicone pot holders.

    Once you get your hands on a set of MIU Silicone Pot Holders, you’ll see what’s been missing from your kitchen! These pot holders are made from silicone, which means they’re super flexible and can be used as trivets, spoon rests or jar openers. Available in 7” sizes and a variety of colors, the silicone is heat resistant and can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. The holes at the top corner allow the pot holders to be hung on a fridge or side cabinet, or tucked away in a drawer for convenient use. The functionality of silicone pot holders has made them a popular buy in the marketplace, with several different options available.

    Similar in design and price are the HotSpot pot holders that have many of the same features. However, reviewers felt that the MIU silicone pot holders were a better buy, as they were far more flexible and slip-resistant than their alternatives. In fact, the MIU pot holders have no negative reviews, and the biggest complaint was that the color description featured online was wrong. Reports online are consistently positive. Customers love the flexibility and durability of the pot holders, as well as their ability to block out heat. Yet reviewers warn that you’ll still want to keep your fabric pot holders nearby, as they will come in handy when handling certain types of pots and pans. Still, the MIU silicone pot holders are convenient for other applications, so you’ll always find use for them. Overall, the pot holders are a great buy, as they’re inexpensive and comfortably handle high temperatures.

One of the best tools you can purchase for challenging your body and improving your home gym is a Valeo Medicine Ball. Physical fitness enthusiasts looking to improve their core strength, coordination, balance, and endurance will love the range of exercises that this exercise medicine ball brings to their home gym. So what’s unique about this Valeo fitness medicine ball?

The Valeo is a good starter piece for anyone looking to challenge their body with new exercise routines. A large majority of online reviewers were pleased with the addition of the Valeo Medicine Ball to their home gym; however a few did find characteristics of the ball they did not like. The most notable negative comment was that the ball itself had a bad odor emanating from it.

Those who have just begun building a home gym, or those who want to expand their gym would not be disappointed with the Valeo Medicine Ball and the new range of exercises it brings to their routine.

  • Product review of a progressive international measuring cups.

    No kitchen is complete without a collection of measuring tools, which is why the Progressive International Measuring Cups are a must-have accessory. This inexpensive set contains 19 pieces, including 10 measuring cups and 9 measuring spoons. The set features red, white and gray colors, so they’re easy to match, while looking modern and stylish in any kitchen. All of the pieces have standard and metric measurements and they can be tossed in the dishwasher. The large handles offer a comfortable, secure grip, eliminating unnecessary spills. Before you get too excited over measuring cups, you’re probably wondering how this set compares to others.

    Oxo Good Grips for example, is a top brand that offers plastic measuring cups. Customers preferred Progressive International however, as the measuring cups are cheaper in price and contain more cups and spoons. Plus, several customers had trouble with the numbers wearing off in the dishwasher with the Oxo brand, making measuring difficult. With the Progressive International Measuring Cups, online reviews are positive, with most people giving 5-stars. The only complaint was that the material is rather lightweight and appears to break easily. This is just an observation however, as the same customers report that the material only appears this way and has yet to break. Overall, the Progressive International cups and spoons are an excellent, inexpensive buy that can transform your cooking and baking needs. Customers love the ease and versatility of the set and couldn’t ask for a better group of measuring tools for the price!

  • Product review of the gofit chin up bar.

    The GoFit Chin-Up Bar is an inexpensive way to add an exercise option into a small amount of space. Doorways normally offer enough space for beneficial chin-up routines to be practiced on a securely mounted bar. It is very important to mount this low-cost door gym chin up bar in a manner that leaves no doubt about personal safety. The exercise chin up bar, comes with lightweight mounting screws that are easy to replace with sturdy long wood screws. From the online reviews I read, there are a few reviews that did not understand how to use their GoFit Chin Up Bar in the proper manner for success. Let’s cover the proper grip technique.

    This doorway exercise bar will turn during use if the user is not gripping their foam-covered hand supports tightly. The turning action is not necessarily a flaw in the product design. Hand strength is improved through the daily practice of gripping exercises.The cost of the GoFit exercise bar is huge reason to consider this beneficial piece of exercise equipment that works in the same manner as the more expensive versions on the marketplace. For the price, this silver-tone wall mounted chin-up bar is a very nice gift to consider for high school athletes, workplace doorways, and for all people who live in a home where it is possible to drill the Go Fit Chin-Up Bar mounting screws into a wooden doorway area.

  • Product review of a fingernail clippers.

    Instead of dreading the task of cutting your nails, the Seki Edge Fingernail Clippers make the job simple and stress-free. Made from twice tempered stainless steel, this innovative tool has a hard finished cutting edge that clips nails effortlessly, without any tearing or splitting. The ergonomic design makes the clippers easy to hold and work with, being able to reach all nails without feeling awkward. Although basic in nature, many people have difficulty finding fingernail clippers that are precise, durable and efficient. While the Seki fingernail clippers are indeed more expensive than other brands, product owners are happy they spent the extra money.

    Being made of stainless steel, the material won’t peel off and the construction won’t fall apart or become wobbly. Also, the cutting edge delivers a clean clip each and every time, even when using it in the shower. Product owners were willing to spend the additional money since the product is made in Japan; however, the Premax nail clippers made in Italy did not garner the same positive reviews. In fact, the Premax clippers are more expensive than the Seki ones and product owners had a difficult time getting the clippers to lock in the closed position.
