Effective, green cleaning Shark delivers! Euro Pro Shark Steam Mop Gray/ Purple Vacuum

Euro-Pro  Shark Steam Mop - Gray/ Purple  Vacuum

I recently purchased the Shark Steam Mop on a whim at my local Costco for three reasons:

1. I hate mopping because I have a very large, open tile space on the main floor, which usually takes 12 years to dry.

2. Costco would let me return it no questions asked if I am dissatisfied after giving it a whirl.

3. We are committed to cleaning our home as “greenly” as possible.

Given that the purchase was risk-free, the Shark was plopped into my cart and came home with us.

SHOPPING FOR A FRONT LOAD WASHER? LOOK NO FURTHER. LG WM2233H Front Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

LG WM2233H Front Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

When our over-20-year-old Maytag washer started making a noise and acting wonky, I started researching front-load washing machines. After exhaustive research, we decided on the LG WM2233H. I watched store advertisements, and we purchased this on sale at Home Depot.

Specs~

The wash capacity in this machine is 3.32 cubic feet, which is the equivalent of a 3.83 cubic foot agitator washer. It weighs 190 pounds, and its measurements are 27%26rdquo; W x 29 %26frac34;%26rdquo; D x 38 11/16%26rdquo; H. With the door of the washer open, the depth is 50 13/16%26rdquo;. We purchased the optional pedestal, which adds 13%26rdquo; to the height of the machine. The maximum spin speed is a whopping 1100 rpm. At the time of our purchase, this machine was available in white, pewter, blue, and red. All colors except white were about $200 more.

Never another GE microwave….. General Electric JES1290SK Stainless Steel 1000 Watts Convection / Microwave Oven

General Electric JES1290SK Stainless Steel 1000 Watts Convection / Microwave Oven

Purchase date: JANUARY 2007
Review date: OCTOBER 2007
Model purchased: GE JE1290SK Convection Microwave in Stainless
Purchased at: Lowe’s Home Improvement

As mentioned in previous reviews I changed my kitchen appliances from Almond to Stainless.
Previous to this I had a Goldstar .7 cu. ft. microwave at 700 watts. It worked fine but it was not powerful enough and it was frustrating to heat things in becuase it took forever. It was also inconveniently small inside.

Bissell Pet Revolution Lift Off Canister Bagless Vacuum Dirt and Pet Hair Are Gone! Bissell 37604 Bagless Upright Vacuum

Bissell  37604 Bagless Upright Vacuum

I was a bit apprehensive to buy a non-central vacuum after having one as my main vacuum for the last 16 years. We are moving to a new home having to sell our custom built home that contains my Electrolux Central Vacuum. I was very particular in my search to find a vacuum that would meet my needs of picking up dog and cat fur as well as the daily dirt with attachments that still would have the suction power when using them as stand-alone.

Great oven for its price Hotpoint Ariston RB536CHCC Electric Range

Hotpoint-Ariston RB536CHCC Electric Range

We were deciding between the $1500 Profile Double Oven, and this oven. But since we could not afford $1500 to get the double oven features, I settled for a basic, it cooks well, oven. At $350 I am very happy with this oven. It cooks well, and it having the Sabbat features was an unexpected added bonus.

I love these heaters $50.00 on sale Target and Home Depot Lasko 5365 Ceramic Electric Compact Heater

Lasko 5365 Ceramic Electric Compact Heater

I have had 4 of these heaters since 2003. 2 of them I purchased at a time at different times from different companies. But they are the same model but made during different manufacturing runs. The tops of them are different. Two of my heaters have one slight issue, they are on the same frequency as my Direct TV satellite remote controls. So those two units have been moved out of the rooms with the TVs. Using the remotes to change the channel or volume would change the temperature, etc. on the heater. Oh well, the other two work fine. I liked this heater so well that I bought one for my mother last year.
