Tr Industries #NS-8 8OZ Glass Polish

I am admittedly obsessive compulsive about keeping my windows clean. I have tried many products and have usually come away unimpressed with most due to streaking. Unlike other spray cleaners, you apply NS-8 on a damp applicator (only use several drops at a time), let dry to a haze, then wipe off with a microfiber cloth. It truly lives up to its claims and has replaced Stoner Invisible Glass as my go to product now.

Comfort Zone CZAC5 Window Air Conditioner Cover

I knew it would be too big as my uniit is very small, but we are able to use it. I believe it is OK> Not much to say about an airconditioner cover. I won't really know how good it is till the season is over.

RSVP International Endurance Endurance Jumbo Compost Pail lARGE 1.5-gallon Size

I was looking for a pail that was attractive enough to sit on the counter but large enough to reduce the trips to the compost bin (I have the compostumbler...highly recommended). I had a ceramic pail before but found it too small and heavy, and a hassle to clean. This one works well, and would get 5 stars were it not for the fact that the lid doesn't seal. I don't know if that's a design problem or if I just got a bad one, but it's a problem because it allows tiny fruit flies to get in. But I haven't seen another one this size, so I'll stick with it.

pureguardian H1600 80-Hour Ultrasonic Digital Humidifier

I love this humidifier! My 3yr old daughter is always catching a cough or cold at school and I constantly use this in her room at night. It's worth the money. I have been through maybe 5 humidifiers since she was born, but I think so far this has been the best one. I was using the frog Crane before this one, which was good use for the price, but cleaning it was a task. If you are willing to spend a bit more , this is a good investment.

Electrolux Ultra Silencer Deep Clean Canister Vacuum

I was in the market for a new vacuum. I had been buying cheap 60$ eurekas, that did the job on our 650 square foot apartment. The third one broke and decided it was time to just get a "good" vacuum. My family in the past had Electrolux and never ever had problems so I did a lot of research. Dyson has great marketing but when you get down to it they're just too expensive and for what?

I did a lot of amazon research and online research about which Electrolux to get, as there are so many. This one had all the best qualities for the price that I was willing to spend. I was twisting with anticipation for it to come and when it did I haven't stopped using it since. It is by far THE QUIETEST vacuum EVER. A friend was watching tv while I was vacuuming and there was no need to turn up the volume in the tv. The suction is outrageous! And the attachments all seem to be exactly what I need. The replacement parts like bags and filters are a little expensive, but... You get what you pay for. I will never not have an Electrolux in the future. I couldn't be happier.

Essick Air 1044 Replacement Tabletop Wick

Well, it is just a humidifer wick so excuse me for not getting wildly excited, but as far as humidifier wicks go, I can't complain. It does its job exactly as I would expect as I would expect a humidifer wick to. So...yeah. Good product. Thanks

Hunter 30067 Hepatech Air Purifier

Shortly after adopting a cat from a local humane society, my son developed asthma as a direct result of an undiagnosed cat allergy. An allergist advised us to remove the cat from our home (some friends adopted it) and as much of the cat hair and dander as we possibly could. I did some online research and decided that an indoor air purifier would probably help us out and relieve my son's asthma and allergy symptoms. I purchased this Hunter air purifier #30067 and model #30251 also made by Hunter and placed this one in my son's room and the other one in the kitchen. Within about an hour of plugging the air purifiers in, my son's itchy/red eyes and sneezing and coughing were almost gone. On two different occasions, my older son turned the purifiers off and within a short time, my allergic son's symptoms returned!! These two units have been wonderful for my son's allergies. I have had the purifiers for about a month and I just cleaned the pre-filters with the vacuum cleaner. I was amazed at the amount of dust and cat hair I could see on the pre-filter. The replaceable filters are looking a little gray in color, but I don't think they need replacing just yet. I have found several online companies that stock the replacement filters. My only complaints with the air purifiers are that they are a little loud. You will get used to the sound after awhile. And, I am having trouble figuring out what replacement filters to buy. This isn't real clear. But other than these two minor complaints, I am very pleased with the price of both Hunter air purifiers and the job they are doing in easing my son's troublesome allergy/asthma symptoms. I would highly recommend this product!

Hamilton Beach 04290FS TrueAir Plug-Mount Air Cleaner Replacement Filter

The 1 star is NOT for the quality but for the error in the description. Please do not make the same mistake I did and order this thinking you are receiving 3 filters. You only recieve 1.

Date written: July 25, 2005.

I have pointed this out to Amazon today so they may change the description so no one else makes this mistake.

Black & Decker Power Mop

I waited impatiently for this product's release and was not disappointed in it! Due to a knee problem I have difficulty in getting my kitchen floor absolutely clean using the typical spray-and-wipe tools such as the Chlorox Ready-Mop (which I had been using). Those work fine on a smooth surface but can't really get into any lower spots (like grout lines or lower areas in a textured-surface tile) very well. I'd often wished for something like the Black & Decker ScumBuster tool but with a long handle so that it could be used standing up. Well, this new product is exactly that, with the bonus of the onboard liquid dispenser and "mop-up" cloth right there as well. The bottle dispenser attaches instantly with a push-and-click, which is far easier than the setup on the Chlorox ReadyMop. The ability to use any cleanser (or even just hot water if that's your preference) and any mopping pad is yet another plus. My only question is why it took so long for any manufacturer to come up with a cleaning tool like this?!

Alen BreatheSmart - Covers 1100 Sq. Ft.

We recently acquired the newest air purifier made by Alen called the BreatheSmart. It has a number of Smart features that makes it effective and user friendly. In short it is wonderful. We have an open concept home, so it is kept in our living room which also opens into our kitchen and it has done a superb job covering the area which is probably a little over 950 Sq. Ft. The air is noticeably fresher and cleaner, and my wife's stuffy head seems to have been relieved. As an FYI, We also set up an additional Alen Air Purifier (T300) tower in the bedroom. I would definitely recommend getting the new Breathe Smart.

Visually speaking, the Breathe Smart is a super clean modern looking device that does a decent job blending into any decor. It is easy to to set up and the controls are intuitive. Filter changing is about as easy as it gets and anyone can do it. My favorite feature is the air quality monitor that uses simple colored lights (blue=clean, white = so so, red=dirty) to let you know how dirty your air is. If you set it to automatic, it will increase the airflow when it senses that your air is dirty. Once clean, it will turn itself down. It really seems to work. For example, when someone sits on the couch, or when the AC kicks on the unit goes to red. In the morning when I come downstairs the unit has had all night to clean an empty room and it is on blue. I really like knowing when the air has been "cleaned." This takes all the guess work out of when to run the unit and when to turn it up or turn it down. This is really GREAT!

We have owned other cheaper Air purifiers that we have purchased at big box stores, and are glad that we switched to the Alen units. Their machines have a lifetime warrantee and are significantly quieter than the ones we previously owned. Noise can become an issue. Lastly, this air cleaner has a filter change indicator light that tells you when you need to replace the filter cartridge. I do not know how long it will last, but our bedroom unit has been running on and off for more than 6 months now and we are only on bar two which is half way through the filter life, seems reasonable.

Hoover WindTunnel 3 Upright Vacuum

I'm on my second Hoover as of two days ago... first one is still operational after 20 years... but I wanted some upgrades. My greatest desire..? I wanted to be released from the vac bag. But even though that has been accomplished... I'm(we're) still not free from some vac maintenance chores... and the occasional filter purchase. One step forward, two steps back maybe?

First, some perspective. A bagless vacuum is nothing more than a

glorified and highly stylized shop vac. All this crap about "wind tunnel and "cyclonic technology" and other such buzz word descriptors accompanied by dubious conceptual design claims, is just a bunch of advertising hooey meant to distract any buyer from a problem that is NOT preventable in any vacuum.. eventual loss of suction. If this isn't true you wouldn't find elaborate instructions with every model imploring you to clean filters frequently and to empty the dust cup often. If they don't get cleaned in the prescribed manner... loss of suction occurs... or complete plug-ups. So much for the "no loss of suction" claim. Most models have either mechanical or electric flow indicators that tell you exactly what isn't supposed to happen, is happening: loss of suction. So, with this in mind... it becomes a quest to find that vac that has enough obstacles built-in to the vac canister that will delay the loss of suction for as long as possible. That's the reason why the canister(most) is so jacked-up with multiple tubes, fins, screens and irregular shapes... to catch or divert the misc vacuumed up garbage away from the foam filter, and eventually the hepa filter. Things that a certain percentage of dust always manages to evade on its trip to the first filter. Shop vacs are bagless and will plug up sooner or later and so will house bagless vacs.. depending on what it is you're sucking up. They're designed on the same principles. If you can get past the claimed "no loss of suction" baloney... you can make a more informed decision.

Observations on my purchase. I forked over 153 smackers for the Hoover "Windtunnel 3 Pro Whole House" vac. This came after reading a couple of hundred reviews on Amazon of all the leading bagless vacs out there... and on what my vac needs really are. I'm not a compulsive vacuumer... just occasionally... and I have a small two bedroom house. After vacuuming almost the whole house for the first time this is what I noticed: I emptied the dust cup twice, so what? Just means there was plenty to get up... and there was. I don't think it picks anymore than my old bagged Hoover. How do I know? Because with the bagged I would occasionally run out of the bags... and I would reuse the old one... by unfolding one end of it, shaking it out, folding it back up and then stapling. Works well. I saw that same nastiness come out of the bag that comes out of the dust cup.

Next, the dust cup empties easily, hinged bottom opens up. But even after emptying and tapping on the dust cup canister to loosen all that didn't release right away... there was still plenty of fine dust stuck to the innards of that windtunnel canister. All the canister obstacles did their job; dust was either captured or stuck to them, and you can't shake it out. This fine dust sticks because of the moisture in it and that static electrical charge on the surface of the objects in the canister and the interior walls of the canister itself. The book recommends washing out the canister... I just took it outside of the garage and blew it out with an air hose. Faster and easier. And a bunch of that really fine dust went flyin'.

Next: I inspected the second to the last line of defense; the foam filter at the top of the canister. I was impressed, because only minimal dust reached that filter... I know this because I blew it out with air as well. The instructions say to wash this and let it air dry for 48hrs... ridiculous and boring. Use air.

Next: I inspected the Hepa filter... the last defense before the exhaust exits the vacuum. I detected no dust. Most impressive. And because no dust exits the vacuum... you don't get the vacuum cleaner stink in the room air... something I always get from the way less filtered bagged Hoover.

Overall observations: Here are the things that I dig; the bare floor agitator shut off, both when you set the vac to upright position and the foot button that shuts it off. The cleaning accessories, they all worked well... the stretchy hose, which was quite adequate... the headlight, the sturdy wheels that also have a soft surface for hard surface traction, the easy release of the cyclonic canister and dust cup... the most excellent suction and the overall sturdiness of the unit. And, the auto cord rewind is a kick and a hoot, but this feature really doesn't get you out of anything; you're either bending over to wind the cord up(no auto rewind) or bending over to pull the cord out(auto rewind). By comparison, this unit is supposedly on the heavy side, but I didn't notice... as long as the surface height adjustment is in the right place... it glided over everything I've got. It's been my experience in life that the heavier something is, usually means it's made of more durable materials and in copious quantities... something to keep in mind even when it comes to vacuums. Another bonus is that it's only half as noisy as the old Hoover. Best of all, no vacuum stink in the room air when you're done. Just so you know... I'm big on good design and construction... when I went to look at the vacs I checked out all the leading machines and passed many by because of shabby design and obvious weaknesses. This unit passed all my pickiness. As far as complaints go... for what I paid and how it performs and how well it's made... I have none. A year or two from now... I might have something to offer up here... I'll let you know. In the mean time... Hoover and I will leave the light on for yah. ;-)

AmairCare HEPA Filter for Roomaid Air Cleaner

I think everyone needs an air purifier for city driving. I'm in bumper to bumper traffic at least 3 times per week and there's always at least one vehicle puffing out smoke. The body just wasn't designed for inhaling polutants from a tailpipe. I use my Roomaid in the car but had let it sitting dormant for a couple of years as I procrastinated buying a new filter. The new filters are better than the origninal that came with the unit. There's no compartment up-top that allows you to insert a scent module to freshen the air. That compartment was a weak-link, allowing un-purfied air to circulate through it. This new filter has made a big difference in my commuting. My Roomaid is always on and I don't get overwhelming chemical smells throughout the cabin of my SUV. Easy to install and worth every penny to me to keep my allergy symptoms at a bare minimum.

Friedrich CP18G30

I bought this to replace a thru the wall GE 15,000 btu unit that had been in place for 15 years with 0 problems but suddenly died during the recent heat wave. Due to it's age I did not explore the option of repair and went for a new unit. The existing unit had cooled the entire 1st floor of my small house with no problems and when I shut a door to divide the 1st floor it kept both the office and bedroom which are right across from each other very cool at night on a low power saver option.

This 18,000 btu should have been more powerful but does not come anywhere near the cooling power of the old GE. It does cool the the 8 x 10 office but even on the lowest temp setting & top fan speed does not really push any cool air past that room. I had used PC Richards to survey and determine needed btu's before purchase and then paid them 300$ for installation so it is not installed incorrectly the unit is just not all that it should be.

If it was not for the fact that it is a wall unit and diffcult to take out I would return it. I am so sorry I did not try to fix the old one or used Amazon to purchase a model with reviews and done the install myself. I am now in the process of using Amazon to purchase a window AC for the bedroom sine this new unit does not do the job.

This new unit is also noisy, I would have thought newer units would be quieter than a 15+ year old AC but not so, I need to have the TV very loud to hear over it. I would be fine with the noise if it cooled more than the small room it is in.

The only good thing I can say is it does have a remote which the old one did not,but the instruction book does not give any instructions on what the symbols mean on the remote. When trying to use the remote I had to do a lot of expermenting to set it manually and then check what the remote showed. It does have a timer feature but again instructions so unclear I have yet to figure it it out.

I will never buy a Friedrich again and hope this may help folks looking to replace their thru the wall AC.

Austin Air Allergy Machine Replacement Hega Filter

This replacement filter was easy to install and is not as heavy as the one it replaced. I cook a lot, and the filters that have pounds of chemical-absorbing materials saturate too quickly in my house and start outputting air that smells like food. This one filters the air nicely but doesn't absorb food odor, thus the air flowing out of it always smells fresh.

Berkey PF-4 Fluoride/Arsenic Replacement Filters

PF-2's are useless PVC placebos so PF-4 probably perform the same?

I wanted these fluoride filters to work, I really did.

After running 15 gallons run through 2 x Berkey black filters and 2 x PF-"2" (not 4) fluoride filters I sent a sample of this "filtered" water to 3M for a fluoride concentration test. The results confirmed that these so-called "fluoride filters" DON'T actually filter out fluoride.

3M Lab Result: 0.36 ppm of FLUORIDE.

Municipal supply averages 0.30 0.60ppm FLUORIDE.

"The fluoride concentration result for the sample you submitted is listed above. This result was obtained using state-of-the-art equipment for accuracy. The method of testing is the fluoride ion selective electrode." (3M)

Metro Vacuum DV3ESD1 DataVac/3 ESD Anti-Static 1.7-HP Vacuum

First off let may tell all that read this that at the time of this review the picture is sightly incorrect.

There are no extension tubes (why would you want them anyhow) and the is no flat attachment.

What you do get:

(1) DataVac 3 (two speed) really good power cord (rubber not plastic)

(1) Rubber (not plastic hose)

(1) A long nozzle attachment

(1) Bruch attachment (very soft)

(1) Really great micro long reach attachment

(1) Extra Foam filter

(1) Extra Bad (Buy more trust me)

(1) Awesome quality anti-static wrist unit with extra long cord (USA Quality)

(1) Great Padded carry bag with plenty of extra space.

OK now for the realty check for the nay sayers. This is a COMPUTER AND SERVER vacuum. Not a car detailing vacuum or pet hair cleaning vacuum. Just computers and servers and guess what it does an amazing job. Also if you can not figure out how to use a vacuum as simple as this one...well maybe you should not buy it.

Seriously it is per-assembled plug in and use. You can open it and well to replace the bag is kind of like; Remove old bag, slip in new bag...um that is kind of it. Not much more to do really. You can look at it for a while, I prefer to just close it back up after that.

Now I own Occams Razor Security and we do a lot of server work. Today I was at a client working on a SCO Unix Conversion and we needed to clean a server which lets just say has not been opened let alone cleaned for around 20 years. Yep one of those servers. The kind where the dust bunnies are more like really mad, haven't been fed for years, bite your head off dust bunnies.

Well the DataVac 3 cleaned so well, the client was literally speechless, they wanted to know where to get one. Suffice it to say the price tag kind of gave them a reality check in that area.

Also Notice the word "Rubber" in the parts description this means reduces the likely hood of static discharge Metal grounded case with wrist strap you can clip to metal connectors on handle. Hmmmm, more anti-static safety.

Look this is not a cheap machine, we use them a lot! At ORS we always offer system cleaning as a value added service. So DataVac is the only way to go for us. Look at it this way our clients trust us to keep their systems running in top condition and I do not want to hear a client say my mother board got fried when you vacuumed out our system. So we only use DataVac and nothing else. Think your vacuum does not generate static electricity go nuts and vacuum your home system it is like playing Russian runlet with your system, maybe it will survive. Me I have seen to many systems go bye bye do to normal vacuums and computer motherboards.

The Data Vac 3 ESD unit meets Government Specifications for static discharge protection and it is a quality machine made in the USA. No cheap parts found here. It is built like a tank and I know that myself or an associate going out to a client will never have to worry about the DataVac working.

You want need a quality computer or server vacuum look no further, you want to complain about attachments that are not needed, get another vacuum. This one is for professionals and it is well worth the money.

18x20x1 (17.5 x 19.5) Accumulair Gold 1-Inch Filter

Works as advertized. Easy to install, and provides the air purification one would want. Beware of filters with higher Merv ratings as they can cause some furnaces to strain to achieve proper air flow.

Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier HMC-350B

Unlike many of the other UV humidifiers, this one does not create a glow that disturbs sleep. Its low fan speed is pretty quiet. It is very suitable for use in a bedroom. The water tank is a little small and I fill it daily running it 24/7. We have only had the unit for a month so I can not speak to its longevity, yet.

My one gripe is that, due to the small tank, you can run out of water and it does not shut off. A low level shutoff switch would take care of this but there is not one. When the unit runs out of water, the filter dries out and turns brown. The filter is supposed to last for a year (or a season of use) but the drying out limits its effectiveness.

I purchased the 22x24x1 (21.5x23.5) filters. They are excellent quality, and fit my handler perfectly. I was worried about the fit, but the actual measurements are spot on! These are the only filters I will be ordering from now on. Delivery was fast arriving a day before estimated delivery. Thank you!!!!
