Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea Order Now


I am a neat freak. I have white ceramic floors in dining room and kitchen and thought this mop sounded great so I bought it. What a pain in the back. I used it on my hallways (pergo ) and had to get on my hands and knees to dry it off. I used it on my ceramic tile and had to towel dry it too. The mop does clean, the water is hot and while I was talking to Bissell on the phone I plugged the machine in and had the represenative guide me through the process. Still, lots of standing water. My floors are slick when wet so my only option is to hand dry them. Leaving the ceramic floor to dry on its own took about 6 minutes and left lots of streaks. If I had lots of time to clean the floor and hand dry it I would probably keep the mop but I wanted a way to get out of the kitchen quicker so this proudct does not work for me.

Crane Adorable 1 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier, Elephant Shape Decide Now


I bought this humidifier from Target and brought it home to set it up immediately. I was excited by all the great reviews that the product/brand received. Unfortunately, this one didn't even have a chance to break because it never started working properly in the first place. While I have no doubt that this is a great product for those of you whom it actually worked for, I was not able to enjoy the same experience. I only gave it one star because there was not an option to leave it starless or that would have been my choice. I believe that a products that do not work properly to begin with do not deserve to be on the shelves at popular stores, only to have consumers like myself purchase them and later have to deal with the hassle of returning the product due to a defect.

Lowest Price Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier with Auto Shut-Off


No frills, easy to use and maintain, warm mist. I'm not sure about the automatic shut off because the light remains on, so I'm afraid to take a chance (I had a neighbor come into my apartment and shut if off when I forgot). I had a very expensive model before and it was way too complicated and you always had to buy their special sponges. When I decided to try one of my own sponges, it literally burned and melted. This unit is great and the price can't be beat!Get more detail about Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier with Auto Shut-Off.

Low Price iRobot 4905 Battery


When my original iRobot battery finally wore out, I looked around for a replacement. I was pleased to find that Amazon had the correct replacement battery available, and for a very competitive price.

When the battery arrived, I immediately noticed that it appeared to be exactly the same as the Roomba's original battery. Replacing the battery was quick and easy to do and, before I knew it, the battery was fully charged and my Roomba was back in action once again. What a relief!

Save Miele Style FJM Vacuum Bags Includes 4 bags + 2 Filters


I just love my two Miele cannister vacuums, they're great. We live on all tile floors with 10 dogs and a few cats, so everyday I vacuum up a ton of animal hair, and I go through vacuum bags quite frequently. I'm not paying $19 for four bags, that's ridiculous! I e-mailed Miele, they told me about how much better filtration the new bags afforded. I explained that filtration quality means nothing when cleaning very coarse animal hair. I'm not living in a "clean Room" at Intel!

I noticed that Bosch has also raised their cannister bag prices, so maybe it's a German thing. I started buying generic "FJM" 5 bags for $10 from Amazon, which work just fine. These cheap bags have a cardboard connection at top, instead of plastic, but doesn't matter. So I'm happy now. I'm not paying $5 per Miele bag!

Cheapest Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner


I bought this unit mainly for removing wallpaper. It worked somewhat well for that. The directions state that you should score the wallpaper before steaming to allow the steam to get behind it. If you have a lot of wallpaper to remove, as I did, this step is very time consuming. However, I did try it initially because the wallpaper I was removing wouldn't come off with just the steamer alone. But I found that to score the wallpaper deep enough to allow steam to get behind it also scored the wall enough to damage it. I ended up peeling the printed layer off the wall first leaving the glue layer still on the wall. The steamer removes the glue layer flawlessly.

Other types of cleaning is hit and miss. The nylon brush attachment that comes with it won't hold up for long. I assume I'll need to order more fairly soon. I was surprised that it cleaned most stains on my carpet pretty well. Bathtub/shower stains, not so well.

I also found that the handle holder gets in the way of the water inlet and the wheels seem to be on the unit backwards as far as trying the pull the unit as you move around.

Overall, I'm glad that I purchased the unit. I'm sure I'll find other things that it will clean well. I paid $90 for the unit, but was disappointed to find it at Costco last week for $70. Get more detail about Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner.

Buy Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter


For anyone concerned about its electricity usage, I hooked it up to my P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor and ran through the fan speeds. Here is the breakdown:

Low = 24W
Medium = 30W
High = 49W

Turning on the ionizer did not change the reading on the Kill-A-Watt, though I didn't leave it on long, so I don't know if it may have registered after a few minutes.

I have only had this air filter for a few days, so I can't give a full review yet. First impressions: It is louder than I thought it would be, but I think I'll get used to it. Getting the front panel off to unpack or clean the filter is a bit difficult, and the plastic latches seem flimsy. The air in my bedroom does seem fresher, and I think my nose is less stuffy than usual when I wake up. I'm considering getting a second.Get more detail about Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter.
