The Progressive International Onion Chopper is designed to take the work out of dicing onions. With this handy gadget, all you have to do is place an onion half on the chopper and press down the lid. The stainless steel blade quickly dices the onions without all the mess and tearful odors. There won’t be any guessing as to how much onion you’ve chopped either, as the clear container has printed measurements. To keep the device secure, four round feet steady the onion chopper and the device comes apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. A similar product is the Vidalia Chop Wizard, which features dicing blades and a clear container that catches the onion.

At double the cost, many consumers have put their trust in the Progressive International brand, as it has a similar design and a stainless steel blade. However, some product owners find that the Vidalia brand is better at chopping a variety of foods, including veggies, fruits and cheeses. With the strikingly similar designs, both products have received mixed reviews about their durability. The manual onion chopper has received a large number of positive reviews, as product owners stressed that this was the single most important gadget they used in the kitchen. And, product owners suggested helpful tips for using the gadget, such as tapping the device instead of just pressing down. Yet even with all the positive reviews, there were quite a few negative complaints that centered on the durability of the onion chopper. Many consumers found that the green onion slicer broke quickly and couldn’t stand extreme pressure. Although there are some mixed reviews, the majority of people have found that there’s no better way to dice onions than with this affordable, compact onion slicer.

Owning a home has long been considered one of life’s greatest joys. However, it is simultaneously considered one of life’s greatest headaches. With homeownership comes responsibility and cost, and one of the biggest costs can be associated with simple maintenance. Curb appeal is important for every home, and while shrubs, gardens, and bushes add to your home’s value, they also bring added work. There is a way to make that work easier though with the help of a Black & Decker Cordless Electric Dual-Action Hedge Trimmer. This cordless hedge trimmer model features a 24-inch dual action blade, 3/4 inch cutting capacity, and is lightweight.

The electric hedge trimmer is powered by a 24 volt rechargeable battery that allows for cordless operation. This means your Black and Decker hedge trimmer can go anywhere you need to without messing with extension cords. The 24 volt battery included with this model offers 20% more operating time than 18 volt models. There are a wide variety of trimmers, corded and cordless, available for purchase on the market. In addition to a 24 volt battery, this unit is set apart by its 3/4 inch cutting capacity. This cutting capacity is the largest among cordless models. Online reviewers provided nothing but high marks for the Black and Decker battery hedge trimmer. Almost every reviewer noted that while this unit would suit any homeowner perfectly, it is not likely a good tool for those with heavy trimming to do. Many reviewers noted that the battery life of the Black and Decker was not as long as advertised. In the end, the Black and Decker cordless trimmer is perfect for the average homeowner who needs to trim hedges and bushes every once in awhile. If your needs are greater though, you will likely find yourself in need of a more powerful unit.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could care for your lawn without having to kneel or bend? Now you can with the Fiskars Uproot Lawn and Garden Weeder, commended by the Arthritis Foundation. It offers four stainless steel serrated claws, an aluminum shaft and mess-free eject feature. The weed puller makes it possible to control dandelions and other weeds without having to kneel or bend or use harmful chemicals. The weed puller removes weeds without back strain and gets the weeds by the roots so they won’t grow back. To use the product, simply position the tool over the weed and insert the claws into the ground.

Then grab the weed by pulling back the handle, and lift the tool and eject the weed. Before you know it, you’ll have a weed-free yard that you can enjoy! With a long, 36-inch handle and comfortable use, you won’t mind getting your yard ready for the spring. When compared to the Yard Butler weed puller that comes at a similar price, the Fiskars product is the preferred choice, as it’s stronger and gets the weeds out by the roots. Product owners report that this weed puller is amazing and worth every penny, being the first tool that worked on big weeds. More importantly, the weed puller inspired people to begin working in their yards again, as it’s enjoyable to use. The only downside to the product is that some consumers were left with a broken tool within the first season, which was attributed to the plastic and aluminum construction. Fortunately, the majority of product owners had no trouble with this issue and found that the weed puller far outlasted other gardening tools in their shed.

The goal for every man in America, married and single alike, is to have a corner of his home he can call his own. The term for this space has been aptly named the mancave, a place where the guys can hang out and do what all men love to do, watch TV, talk sports, and drink beer. Now every man can complete his mancave with his very own beer tap by purchasing the BeerTender Home Beer-Tap System. Most beer lovers will tell you that there is nothing better than a cold brew straight from the tap, and the BeerTender Keg brings the experience right to your own home. The unit has a whisper quiet cooling system with three different temperature settings.

You’ll never be caught off guard when guests are over as the LCD display on the tap system provides volume levels and temperature indicators. The unit operates solely with 5L Heineken DraughtKegs, providing fresh tasting beer over a 30-day period. This draft beer dispenser is nearly unmatched by other systems on the market. While other models do exist, none of them can match the overall quality and service of this particular model. Although these other models are less expensive, they lack some of the advanced features such as the LCD display and advanced temperature settings. While a handful of online reviewers had complaints about endless amounts of foam from their unit, the vast majority of customers found the BeerTender Home Beer-Tap System delightful to have and easy to use.

With travel, quick mornings, trips in and out of the car or just desiring your pippin hot or ice cold beverage to stay that way, these days one needs a leak proof, well insulated container that fits into most vehicle cup holders. It’s a tall order for any insulated travel mug to fit, but most would agree the Thermos Nissan Leak Proof Insulated Travel Mug is garnering lots of praise and positive reviews for doing just that. A virtually unbreakable stainless steel interior and leak proof sealable exterior has your back. The Thermos Travel Mug is topped off with a ergonomically soft touch padded handle that doesn’t leave water rings.

That’s a mouth full, but just know that the rubberized part is cool to the touch even when filled with the hottest of liquids. These features are great, but does it fit into your car holders? Well it’s been designed to fit into the vast majority of cars so that it lives up to the travel part of the product name. Super easy cleaning, rubberized grip and handle and a robust 5 year warranty, this is not your granddad’s thermos.

Whether you work a swing shift and need to get some shut eye during daylight hours, or want to get some quality sleep on an airplane, a travel eye mask can help to eliminate the annoyance of unwanted light while sleeping. The Dream Essentials Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask is a new and improved version of the old-fashioned eye mask. Featuring a lightweight design that is both slim and stylish, this Travel Eye Mask is contoured to fit the face while leaving ample room for the eye and lashes to move unencumbered. Many who have purchased and reviewed this sleep mask loved the fact that this sleep mask was comfortable and cool.

The contouring mask allows for eye movement. For those who found that the pre-molded mask fit well it seemed to be a great choice, many said that after trying other ill-fitting masks, they had finally found the perfect mask with this product. Many of the negative reviews I read mentioned the same thing: the strap that holds the mask onto the head was too short and positioned in such a way that it irritated the ears. This eye mask seems to work extremely well for those who found the fit comfortable.
