Berimom says "Best Phone Ever!" about AT&T - 5.8 Digital E580-1

Berimom — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:42:54 GMT

This is the best telephone we have ever had. I bought this phone on clearance at Walmart years ago. I am so sorry I did not pick up an additional one. I usually do a lot of research before I make purchase so this phone probably had one of the highest ratings somewhere online and it certainly deserves it. It comes loaded with features. The range is more than 300 feet before the sound quality begins to degrade. It has a speaker on the handset convenient if you have difficulty holing the phone to your ear. We have never had one problem with it and the batteries seem to last forever. The handsets have been dropped time and time again, but they are sturdy enough to handle the abuse. The sound is very clear. The only con is that when you use the speakerphone on the handset if there are loud noises in the background, it will overpower the person speaking or what you are saying. An example would be if someone is driving in a car with their window open, you can hear the noise. This product is...

Berimom says "Love this product!" about Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap

Berimom — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:59:33 GMT

I love the Kitchen Spice version of this anti-bacterial soap. My daughter bought me this as a gift and I fell in love with the fresh scent and consistency of this product. We use this soap in the kitchen and although I do not usually buy anti-bacterial soaps, I will not do without this one. Unfortunately though, I will have to. Bath and Body works is discontinuing this scent. This product also has an expiration date on the bottom which I did not notice when I first started using it, so you may want to be aware of that. The product leaves your hands with a really nice scent while feeling fresh and clean. With using this in the kitchen after handling food, it also leaves me feeling confident that I am not spreading unsafe bacteria all over. I highly recommend this product. I don't think you will be disappointed. Perhaps the company will be offering this same product in a different scent. I sure hope so.

Berimom says "Good Product" about Curel Life's Stages Menopause and Beyond

Berimom — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:27:27 GMT

I've been using Curel lotions for several years now and love their products. The lotions are not greasy and soak in pretty quickly. Life's Stages is one of their new product lines and I do like them. I've always used their Ultra Healing lotion and recently switched to this one. This Life's Stages Menopause & Beyond lotion has elastin, collagen and grape seed extract in it. I do notice a difference in my skin texture if I do not use it for awhile. My skin does not feel as soft and it is noticeably drier. Although I think the same thing would happen if I were to stop using the Ultra Healing Lotion for awhile too. This is a very good product and as I said, I do like all of Curel's Lotions. I think they make a very good product and this is certainly worth a try. This lotion has a nice fragrance witch is not too strong. I also like that the Life's Stages line of products makes it easier to pick from the vast amount of products on the market. You choose a lotion according to your age or "Life's...

Berimom says "Great Pizza Stone" about Pampered Chef Baking Stones

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:38:22 GMT

Although Pampered Chef can be a bit pricey, they do have quality products and do have great sales. We bought this stone about a year ago and it is on its' way to seasoning perfection! It is a bit heavy; that is the one pitfall I can think of, but all stones are. I like the fact that it is natural and unlike some other stones you don't have to worry about your food getting contaminated. It browns food nicely and can be used to quickly warm anything from pizza to rolls. It's great for baking anything really. The new pizza stones come with handles. I have the old one that comes with a wire holder that you can use to lift it with. I think I would prefer the new one with the handles. It is very easy to clean. The more it is seasoned, the better it works and the easier it is to clean. I've had problems seasoning stones before, but this one seems to be doing great. It has never burned anything and it really does a wonderful job browning.

Berimom says "Provides relief." about Schering-Plough Healthcare Products Miralax Miralax

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:14:57 GMT

Miralax works well. It does not taste gritty or have a jello consistency. I have tried numerous products and this one works the best. It is a stool softener and relieves occasional constipation. It is easy to use and there's no need to use a measuring cup or spoon. You just fill the cap and pour! You can mix it with anything as it dissolves in any beverage.It virtually has no taste. The active ingredient is Polyethylene Glycol. My doctor recommended this product. It also works quickly when compared to other products. The container is easy to open and although a bit bulky, it's easy to store. It is easy to see on the store shelves as it comes in a white bottle with a bright pink cap. The bigger size is a better value. It frequently goes on sale at the drugstores and you can usually find a coupon for it. This is a quality product that works as it says it does. It comes in two different sizes.

Berimom says "Reliable Product" about Hewlett Packard Photosmart 7550

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:11:15 GMT

This product has served us well for 5 years now. We bought this when it first came out and paid over $300.00 for it. We have never had one problem with it. It prints well but does use a lot of ink and of course, the ink is expensive. I love the software it comes with and the way it shows the ink levels. I wish it were still supported as this printer is still printing away!

Berimom says "Good design." about GE Profile Performance

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:56:03 GMT

I've had this oven for several years now. I wanted an oven with convection. I am a bit disappointed with my oven. For one, cakes bake unevenly. I think the temperature in not uniform throughout the oven. The gas pilots on top do not work well on low. High is fine, but not low to simmer. I don't like how you have to assemble the pieces that you have to put back together after cleaning the top. There are rings that go around each pilot and they are hard to find the exact spot they have to sit on. This could have been easily remedied by putting some kind of marker on the top of them. The grates are heavy and I do like that. Metal pots will etch them though. Like all self cleaning ovens, you have to manually clean around the door frame of the oven itself and the door. I like the computer pad features. It is easy to use and works well along with the oven lights. I made the mistake of buying black appliances. They show every speck of dust and every fingerprint. Lesson learned!! I love my warming...

Berimom says "Great Product!" about Black & Decker Digital Advatage Iron

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:41:09 GMT

I love my iron! It is difficult these days to find a qulaity iron that produces enough steam to iron clothes easily and one made with quality plate that is able to handle tough wrinkles like my old iron. I had my old iron for about 20 years and have not been able to find a iron comparable to that one until now!

I am very happy with this iron. It is the closest thing to my old iron. It produces enough steam. It gets hot enough. It's automatic shut off allows ample time before it shuts off, instead of shutting off everytime I turn around! It produces enough steam to handle tough wrinkles. It's made of qualtiy materials and is easy to fill with water. I like the weight of this iron; it's not too light nor too heavy.

Berimom says "The Best Ever!" about Pampered Chef Ice Cream Scoop

Berimom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:20:15 GMT

I just can't be without my ice cream and nothing beats this ice cream scoop! I have tried several different scoops and this one is simply the best. I will not bend or chip. It is made of quality materials. It works via the temperature of your hand which I guess warms the fluid inside so the ice cream is easier to scoop. This scoop is worth every penny.

This is a wonderful school and teaches great moral values in addition to highly educatiing their students. The staff is excellent. My daughter received an excellent education from Berry College. I can't say enough good things about this school.

Berimom says "Close to homemade." about Stouffer's Lasagna

This lasagne is really the closest thing to homemade lasagna. It is very good and I do recommend.

Berimom says "Unbeatable Customer Service" about Sebo X5 Vacuum

Berimom — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:28:33 GMT

I bought the X5 because I got tired of replacing belts, etc. on my old vacuum. The belts would leave black marks on my rugs when they would fail. The Sebo does not have any belts that need replacing. It does a fantastic job of vacuuming and it is known for excellent repair history. The customer service department and warranty on the vacuum is fantastic.

Berimom says "One of my favorites" about Breyers - Chocolate Ice Cream

Berimom — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:21:28 GMT

Breyers makes a great product and has for years. Even their new lowfat, light and creamy chocolate ice cream is great. Now if they would just bring their Buttered Almond back!

Berimom says "Great Little Machine" about Hewlett Packard HP8150n Media Center desktop computer

Berimom — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 23:07:14 GMT

I've used this machine for a year now and love it. It has great features.It's fast, dependable and reliable. I've not had any problems with the Vista operating system other than compatiability issues when looking for new software or hardware. I still have not purchased a new printer yet because of this. Other than that, I can't think of any cons.

I have not hooked my HP up to a tv yet, but hope to someday soon. I also wish that I would have purchased the 64-bit Operating system to give me more options for upgrading in the future. I currently have the 2.40Ghz Intel Quad Core Processor with 3.00GB of Memory. The Operating System is Windows Vista Ultimate and I find it to be a very powerful operating system with more options than I can list. All in all I am extremely happy with this computer. The price I paid through Amazon.com just can't be beat.

Berimom says "Does not keep coffee hot enough" about Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker

Berimom — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:13:53 GMT

This coffeemaker is free when you join Gevalia's coffee club. This coffeemaker is fine for making coffee, but it does not keep the coffee hot enough. Another annoyance is that when you open the lid to clean the grinds or to fill machine with water, condensation from the lid runs down the back of the machine onto the counter. I would not purchase this machine if it were available in stores. As a freebie, we'll keep it until it either breaks or our patience runs out. Also, do not keep this coffeemaker on a counter where you have cabinets above it, even if you set it on the edge of the bottom counter. The steam it makes while brewing severely fogged my cabinet door....

Berimom says "Fast service, fantastic prices, great discounts" about Sierra Trading

I stumbled upon this site while searching for workpants for my husband. I could not believe the deals. This site offers name brand, quality items for unbelievable prices and they offer additional coupons on top of that! Items I ordered arrived in just a few days and we were delighted....

Berimom says "Great Topper" about Bedinabox.com Memory Foam Mattress

Berimom — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:47:19 GMT

Great for Fibro and arthritis! Very pleased with purchase. Improved sleep qualtiy. Waterbed much more comfortable with topper on it. Also used a good mattress cover over topper to protect/prolong life of foam. Have used king topper purchased from JCPenneys for 4 years now and it still is in great shape other than moderate darkening of the foam which doesn't matter and could be caused by heat from waterbed. Highly recommend buying good qualtiy 1 1/2" - 2" foam topper vs. inexpensive as foam quality will soften quickly and not be as comfortable....
