Superstar of Suction Dyson DC07 Allergy Blue/Turquoise Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Dyson  DC07 Allergy Blue/Turquoise Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

My Dad was an old vacuum cleaner salesman. For some years he sold electrolux door to door. So vacuums kind of run in our family.

Now that my second Sharp has died — it was not repairable — I shopped very carefully and decided to go for a Dyson. I studied the various models, including the Dyson balls (Dc24 and Dc25), the DC14, etc. I ended up getting a great deal on a DC07, and to put it mildly, I am very happy with it.

Fridgidaire Top Load Stacked Washer Dryer Frigidaire FLEB8200DS Top Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

Frigidaire FLEB8200DS Top Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

I never thought I would have the need for such a machine as this one that is a combination top load washer with a dryer stacked above it. As it is I did have a need as did the rest of my family on a one week vacation. We had an apartment type accommodation and in the bathroom was this stacked washer and dryer combination. We used it that week and we used it hard.

Deluxe Shark Steam Mop model S 3202 Euro Pro Shark Steam Mop Gray/ Purple Vacuum

Euro-Pro  Shark Steam Mop - Gray/ Purple  Vacuum

I can’t seem to find this model of Shark Steam Mop I bought on this site; the one reviewed and listed is one that retails for about $20 less than this.

What prompted me to look into a steam mop of any brand was that commercial you see all the time for the “As Seen On TV” H20 Mop. It seemed like something I could use on both tile and Pergo. I researched it as thoroughly as I could and the general consensus is that it was a piece of garbage. So I then searched for what was better, and got a few of my friends to make a recommendation, and this is where I was pointed. To a “Shark Steam Mop.” It was only after I entered the store (Bed Bath & Beyond) did I see that there were two different models, either $79.99 or $99.99.

Let’s Dry the Night Away Amana NDE2330AY Electric Dryer

Amana NDE2330AY Electric Dryer

I bought this dryer at the suggestion of a salesman at a private appliance store. Right from the start the dryer worked at sub-optimal efficiency. The people at the store claimed that the Amana NDE2330AY is a model on which they don’t get much negative feedback. If that is true, then I must have gotten the lemon of the batch.

The dryer has a main dial with settings for Regular (with more dry/less dry and cool down), a No Iron fabrics setting (also designating more dry, less dry and cool down), and Extended Tumble; it also has a setting marked, “air fluff” and another that reads, “Automatic Wrinkle Out.”

Bissell Featherweight Stick Vacuum Bissell 3106 3 Featherweight Upright Vacuum

Bissell  3106-3 Featherweight  Upright Vacuum

This is a terrific little vacuum. It is lightweight and very easy to use. The edger makes it easy to get into corners. The floor attachment keeps wood floors from getting scratched.

I bought this so that I can clean up small messes and dog hair quickly. My other vacuum is a professional carpet floor cleaning unit made by Host and works great but it is a big heavy unit. This lightweight little vacuum makes keeping floors clean a breeze.

A great little inexpensive fridge for my office. Magic Chef MCBR170 (1.7 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator

Magic Chef MCBR170 (1.7 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator

I’ve had this little fridge in my office for about 9 months now and I love it. It is small enough to be tucked away underneath my desk, but large enough to fit several drinks and whatever I’ve brought for lunch. It is also nice and quiet, which is important since it’s in my office.

The Specs

This is a very compact 1.7 Cubic Foot refrigerator that measures 17.3”w X 20.1”h X 17.8”d and weighs about 40lbs. There is a very small freezer area in this fridge that is approximately 6”w X 4”h X 11”d. It also has a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty.
