Tempurpedic Rhapsody Mattress
I bought a Rhapsody this past Feburary; at first the bed was so firm and comfortable. As months went on I realized that where the majority of my weight and my husbands sunk into the middle of the bed. Now granted, we have the ergonomic, which we can raise the head of the bed and the foot of the bed. This has caused a worn soft spot in the middle crease of the bed when it is completely flat. I roll into my husbands body depression which leaves me sleeping at a angle. I wake the next morning with either a soar lower back or my hip hurts from laying on my side. I paid over $4000.00 for this bed. I...

Sealy Posturepedic Mattress
I grew up on one and it was good, then I got married and we bought a Sealy Posturpedic Extra Firm queen in 1985 - it is still the most wonderful mattress. We both love it.
Medela double electric breast pump
Medela products have surpassed my expectations. Breastfeeding can be hard enough, using the pump really helped me give others the opportunity to help me out during the first weeks. My tip is to pump as much as you can as soon as your milk comes in becuase there is so much of it. Then you can begin to stock pile a little extra. I had to pump and dump several times due to surgeries and this gave me the opportunity to still give my baby breast milk instead of formula.
Medela Pump in Style Breast Pump
OK, lets get one thing streight. Breast pumps tend to be uncomfortable and inconvenient. You are not going to use one you hate so don't waste money on a cheap one unless you truly have the time to sit around and pump all day.
When I went back to work after all three of my pregnancies I needed something quick and discrete. I didn't want everyone to know what I was doing and I certainly did not want my milk in the office refrigerator. The pump in style allowed me to quickly, quietly and discretely pump and store my milk. And the adjustable suction made things more comfortable...

Dyson DC14 Compete Vacuum
My in-laws really liked their Oreck, but when they saw how well our Dyson worked they bought one just like ours. The hoses don't get tangled or caught. If I suck up a doll shoe or a sock it's very easy to find again. I can vacuum the entire flight of steps leaving the vacuum at the bottom. It is easy to use, quick to put away, light enough I can carry it up and down stairs, and simple enough my five year old can use it.
I love that I can see how well it's working. I know how much dirt comes out of each carpet and I can keep going if more dirt is coming out. I love...

KitchenAid 8524569
The Kitchen Aid dish washer is very quiet, has a delay setting, which I never thought I'd use, but have used quite a bit, and has a child lock to keep my button pushing son out of it.
I like that I don't have to wash the dishes before I wash the dishes. I rarely rinse very much because it has it's own rinse cycle if I don't have a full load and plan to let it sit over night. That saves a lot of water in the long run. It only uses about a gallon of water to rinse the whole load, whereas if I were doing it I'd use more than that.
The clean button light that stays...

Bounce Dryer Bar
This is such a cool product, I never need to worry about running out of dryer sheets. It leaves my clothes smelling so good and very soft.
My first try at using it, wasn't great since it fell out, but not since so i give it an excellent rating. I'm very happy with this new product!
Select Comfort 5000
The Select Comfort Air bed is the best bed on the market! My husband prefers one thing and I prefer something different. Not only are we are both very happy, but now it's OK for me to change my mind once in a while.
Going through three pregnancys would have been very uncomfortable on any other mattress. No matter how my body changed I could change the bed to fit my new shape.
Changing the bed is very easy. The bed is light and even though I have a king size bed, I can change the bed skirt myself.
Moving was very easy with our king size bed. I deflated...

Cottage Home Collection Computer Desk
Bought this computer desk online from Cymax Stores- Computer Desks N More- I needed a specific size- could not be bigger than 48" wide, and I wanted a top piece- also not too big. This came in a box- had to be assembled, but it went together easily, and no extra peices w/o a home. I have abig monitor- 21" and a big HP printer- a photosmart C5180- both fit beautifully on the desk top, and I have 1 drawer, with the cpu under it. Above, there is a shelf for paper- 2 cubby holes and 2 places for books, etc. I am very happy with this desk, and the price was not bad at $179.00 and free shipping. The...

Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus WFMC5301UC Front Load Washer
A couple of years ago, when our house saw its 20th birthday, several of our major appliances were growing long in the tooth. For the past few years we have noticed that they needed more frequent repair. But now they were beginning to fail. First to go was our GE Dishwasher. After careful research we settled on a Bosch Evolution 500 Series as its replacement.
Next came our washing machine. Our Kenmore Top Loader had served us well. It's no longer common to find washing machines that will last for 2 decades. But now it was beginning to rust out and the time had come to replace it.
Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant & Deodorant - Rain Storm
Recently, when I was at the market I found our Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant & Deodorant nowhere to be found and so we "settled" on Degree Invisible Stick - Cool Rush. We liked it, but still our Antiperspirant & Deodorant of choice remains Mitchum Clear Gel in the Rain Storm Scent.
Living in South Florida, we find that a deodorant itself isn't enough. We prefer a combination deodorant/antiperspirant. Ideally, it should be a product that the whole family both can and want to use. For us that product is Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant & Deodorant.
Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant &...

When I walk into a Bed Bath & Beyond store, I am in kitchen gadget heaven. I spend most of my time in that store in the kitchen section, especially looking at their utensils and cool gadgets. My latest find from there is the Gourmet Trends Brush Genie Silicone Basting and Pastry Brushes. Apparently, this product used to be a As-Seen-On-TV product. I can't remember exactly, but I want to say I paid between $6-9 for a two-pack of brushes.
Before I bought these brushes, I used to use the traditional basting brush that has a coarse type of hair or bristles on it. They were a pain to clean,...

I received one as a gift or else it would have been returned the next day. There is no light for the clock so it makes it really hard to read. The water filter that belongs in the reservor is always bouncing around. The coffee is not hot enough. There is no light where the coffee is being poured makes it hard to see in a dark cup how much coffee is in there. Auto shut off is only 1 hour most coffee makers are 2 hours. Very poorly made for the cost and the brand. Not happy at all with it.

Space Bag
I watched the infomercials for this product on TV for a long time. After seeing the product in retail stores it lent it a lot more credibility. In short, the idea is awesome, and something I could really use.
I used the large and X large as the smaller sizes are useless for blankets and comforters etc. First thing I noticed was the blue zipper was cheap and slid right off the end. Fortunately you can put it back on without affecting the function.
Packing was easy etc. and the air sucked out great, leaving a much smaller package. As others have noted, unless you pack just a few thin items,...
