Aerus /Electrolux Style C Paper Bags

Recently my mom ran out of bags for an old vaccum cleaner. She hadn't bought bags for it in years, the last time she did Amazon probably only sold books. The last time she did the only place around that sold them was a vaccum cleaner store, and the bags were not cheap. When we found these here for only about 50 cents each, we couldn't pass up the deal. They fit and worked perfect, at a fraction of the price she used to pay!

Aprilaire 4040 - Humidifier 24V Water Solenoid Valve

The purchase experience was good. It took about a week to get the part and it appears that most of that time it was in transit. This is long but not a big issue.

There was no documentation that indicated that the valve had an input and output (i.e. flow direction). There also wasn't any indication that the valve can be mounted in either a left or right orientation. As it turns out, there is an arrow on the valve that indicates flow. Additionally, there is a screw on the side of the valve that allows it to rotate allowing either left or right mount.

In the end, this is a good product with nice features and better documentation would make this an EXCELLENT product overall.

Metropolitan Vac 'N' Blo Compact Vacuum

METRO VAC' N BLO... this is THE IDEAL TOOL for cleaning any automobile!!! It'll suck up anything just as the manufacturer promises. It more than blows, IT JET BLASTS warm DRY AIR that'll blow my wifes long hair back at over 10ft away!!! This is great for cleaning automotive air ducts. And if you really care about [your] vehicle (inside as well as out) and want to keep it running cool at its best AND easy to work on then I highly recommend the Vac' N Blo. Carefully wash your [cooled] engine, then BLO it dry. Do this quarterly [or more frequently for heavy use vehicles] and you wont regret it. Just use common sense and be sure to dry every engine part after rinsing, especially the electronic components Before starting the engine.

----------------------------- Now the reason for ranking 4 out of 5. ---------------------------------------------

The hoses and accessory tools are not pliable damage free plastics! In my opinion the standard hose length should be 12ft.. The included 6' is too short for some locations and the optional 24' is overkill. I think METRO could afford better quality in every step of manufacturing not just in the main motor and cannister.

I think this product would be an easier sell if the total quality were addressed.

It should also include a resting platform (not at an additional price for one with wheels) or better still (and cheaper) weld a couple of simple stoppers to the underbelly...

That's my opinion -Excuse my enthusiasm. NO REGRETS !!!!

WEB WECO Eco Filter Adjustable

Well, this was exactly what it said it was, however, my home's filter size is 20 x 12. So, with a little cutting and drilling, it will fit, and I've got two mesh inserts, so I can just swap out instead of washing, drying, and then replacing. Great product!

Shark XSH035 Hand Vac Tap-Clean HEPA DustCup Filter

I ordered 3 of these as I found them hard to locate. The filters are advertised with debris screens. Not a single one came with the debris screen. I am assuming the seller has kept them or given them away and is still selling these at full price. I have had to reuse the screen from my original filter. Luckily it was salvagable. Good delivery, bad service to remove the screens.

Fellowes HF-230 True HEPA Filter

It works great! I was in the midst of my worst allergy season in years and within hours of setting these up everything cleared up.

It was simple to set up. Though be sure that when you try to take the front panel off to remove the packaging from the filters and install them that you aren't trying to pull on the silver insert that is part of the front panel. The filters are easy to install, and then just plug in and push the on button.

The automatic setting works wonderfully. It detects when a higher-level fan is necessary and backs back down as needed. The low setting, at which it mainly runs, is whisper quiet. Even high is quiet. I've got one beside my bed and never hear it during the night.

I'm also happy that maintenance is so easy. The sensors will tell me when one of the filters needs replacing. Once a month, I vacuum the front sensor (remove that front panel again) and I keep it wiped down, but there is no pesky, fiddly bits to try to keep clean.

I'm loving the fresh air in my house. Now if I could only do something about the outside air. . .

Oransi Replacement Pre

I have had my Oransi since the first of December and run it 24/7. The stuff this filter pulls out of my air is just amazing. I have two cats and a dog and I clean the pre-filter every week because it needs to be cleaned every week. When I think that I was breathing all of that before I bought the filter Yike! The down side is my experience thus far is the costly filters do not last a year. After 4 1/2 months of continuous use (and why would you use an air filter intermittently?), I am getting a 'check filter' light and the filter does look like it needs to be replaced.

Flanders/Precisionaire 80055.041625 Pre Pleat 40 Furnace Filter

I bought two of these filters. I haven't yet installed one but I was very interested in the quality of the product. It seems to be just a slight grade lower in construction/materials than the original but I am sure it will work just fine. Considering the cost savings, I feel it is an excellent alternative to paying $50+ (as I had been) for the OEM product.

2013-0423: I have now gone through the filters. They are just as effective as the OEM. Today, I'm placing another order.

Honeywell Replacement Filter

This is a filter for a humidifer. Not sure what I can say that will sway anyone except to say that it fits our humidifier well, and the humdifier works well when it is installed.

Gonzo Odor Eliminator

I decided to purchase several pouches of volcanic rocks from a couple different vendors to see if they are all the same and whether one has an advantage over the other. I tried both the "house odors" and "pet odors" varieties. The rocks from Amazon.com seem, in essence, to be the same as from the other store except for a couple differences that are important to me. The rocks from were packaged nicely, cleanly, and were easy to open. On the other hand, the rocks from this amazon.com vendor were packaged sloppily and arrived filthy with volcanic dust. Even though I was careful, the dust got all over the place. Also, the packages were difficult to open without leaving some of the plastic and paper label attached, so they were unattractive to have around the house. I ended up having to hide them behind furniture. Another good thing about the rocks the pouches each came with a nice, separate hook to make it easy to hang them. I had never purchased from before and probably will not again (they have nothing else I want) but if you are looking into purchasing volcanic rocks, you may want to check them out. They cost more but I think it's worth it I found that I was angry at myself for not buying all of them from there. (P.S. I have absolutely no affiliation with .)

I will come back to update my review after having used the rocks around the house for a while to see how effective their odor-absorbing ability is.

Update: amazon has blocked the name of the other online store, which is fine. You can probably find it on your own it's a store that specializes in environmental "earth" products. Another good thing about it they offer closet-sized versions of the pouches. Just remember if you don't mind the mess and difficult packaging, the rocks in both products are essentially the same.

Update #2: I've had several of these packets around the house for over a week and have not noticed any difference. I thought that they may need to be "revived" so I put them all out in the sunlight for several hours, as they recommend. No improvement. I feel silly for buying so many of them at once instead of trying out one or two. I feel like I've thrown away my money. The odor I'm trying to get rid of is not even a powerful one it's subtle. So you'd think it would be easty to remove it with the rocks. I'll leave them out in the hope that, in time, they will work, but I have to admit that I'm not optimistic about it.

HAPF 30 Family Care Air Cleaner HEPA Filter

I got these to revive a filter tower I hadn't used for some time. It has an extra membrane for filtering which I think works better than the original equipment. The price was lower than the manufacturer direct and, it seems to be working fine.

New Age Living H1000-4 High Efficiency Infrared Heater

Excellent supplemental source of heat. As with most portable heaters, it takes awhile to warm the area, but it is more than adequate. I really like the air purifier and humidifier functions. Everything works well and the unit is quite user friendly, particualrly with the remote. Great price for value with this model! Company was wonderful to work with.

Steam Fast Microfiber Cloths

Product is great.

Had a problem with shipping charges, which the company read about in my Amazon review. They contacted me and resolved the problem quickly and professionally.

Will order from them when the need arises -customer service is rare these days and I appreciate it.

BISSELL CleanView

I have an Oreck for which I paid almost $350.....I also have a shedding 80 pound English Bulldog. I had vacuumed the rugs/carpet and they still had a fine layer of dog hair over them which I could remove with a dog brush....that is a lot if work. I scanned the products available and came across this one for $80. I vacuumed the kitchen rugs with the Oreck and immediately did a follow up with the Bissell....I filled the Bissell cup ! The Oreck ( and the expensive bags )

is out. This is it for me and I could buy three more and still pay less than the Oreck.

Febreze Noticeables Refill

I love my Febreze Noticeable but have to say the worse scent I have smelled is the "Meadows and Rain". I bought it because it was on sale. Other scents I LOVE. The Meadows and Rain I would not keep now if it was given to me for free. It smells terrible! I plugged it in less than 24 hours ago and noticed an unpleasant smell. I thought it was my trash and got the trash out and still noticed the smell. All day I smelled something like a dirty diaper pail. I then walked around and realized it was the Meadows and Rain. It is not a good scent at all. I see why it was on sale and will stick to buying the others.

DC23 Canister Vacuum Cleaner- Refurbished

First-off... this is a $500 vacuum which I got for $230 on Amazon (refurb).

Vacuum looks and functions like-new.

Incredibly powerful, and versatile. With the included attachments, I'm vacuuming areas I either couldn't reach, or lacked the power to vacuum in the past.

The Turbine head is powerful and does an excellent job of vacuuming rug/carpet.

The turbine head does get bogged-down on long-ply carpet, but still functions.

The head fits under anything, and turns corners like a breeze.

The canister itself pulls along quite easily, and also "mounts" to stairs.

Why 4 stars? Because some of the ergonomics of this model are lacking:

Hose and handle do not wrap around canister, or attach in any convenient way.

Activating Turbine head is odd. Weak/Achy hands may not be able to perform the function.

Oh, and not that this matters, but this thing looks awesome.

If I could break-down the "star" rating, it would look like this:

POWER * * * * *

Versatility * * * * *

Ease of Use * * * *

Sound Level * * * *

Ergonomics * * *

Kishu Charcoal Pitcher Stick

I live in Washington DC and our street water comes from the Potomac River. Yup what they flush in Cumberland or Harper's Ferry Maryland is what we get served to drink in the Nation's Capitol.

During dry Summers the faucet water gets visibly cloudy and even smells, really disgusting.

Your choices are to buy bottled water or use a good filter.

Being urban I do not have a car so I have to carry everything from the grocery. Bottles are a nuisance and expensive. And aren't those plastic bottles some kind of oil petrified in a state hat doesn't bio degrade well anyway? So I use filters. I have Britta and PUR.

With Britta I have to guess when they are used up plus half of the Britta pitcher is the "drip tank." So for the given volume you get half as much water.

The faucet mounted PUR is handy and has a light to indicate when it is used up. How does it know? Anyway both are not inexpensive and both result in tossing more plastic.

I learned about the Kischu from a news story I stumbled on on a Denver television station. I bought a couple and tried one out.

I use a covered pitcher really a non-PABA water bottle.

I pour my glass of water then add new and put back in the refer.

I drink over a gallon of water a day and after 3 months I have boiled it once.

( It began to look grayish until boiled )

Seems to work fine, no bad taste and the water is clear and no plastic to carry out!

I recommend.
