I think it cleans whites better than my last top loader. I also think this washer helps with saving water since it uses less and does a better job than top loaders. It also uses less detergent. I have a drawer under mine and it is great for storing detergent and softner sheets etc. — The only drawback that I can see is that you have to purchase "he" detergents. Although more companies are making detergents that you can use with these machines. —...

It comes with a seven year warranty. Several people I've spoken to who make their baby food have killed sooooo many blenders if you kill this one they fix it!!!!!  Actually makes ice cream.  You can sneak in vitamins and nobody will notice they have a great recipe book...

Odors are sure to follow them around, and I have a product I use as a go to in the pinch. Normally I have some of the plug-ins working in key locations, but there are times where you just want to get rid of a smell quickly and easily. So, in those instances I go with a Glade Aerosol Spray that I have in my kitchen and bathroom areas. It is an easy enough concept, and I have decided that it is worth the $1.99 that I pay for a can. — — The one that I have started liking the most, is the Apple Cinnamon one that I have. It is quite potent on the cinnamon end of the spectrum, and the apples are just a subtle undertone of the spray. It is a nice smell to it, and after it has settled for a little while, it actually reminds me of more like a fir tree that has been wet. I like the smell a lot, and it is one that I have continued going back to for that reason....

I have never had a better grill than this one. The flame never needs adjusting so it cook evenly on everything. Best grill out there.  The surface is large enough to fit anything and everything that I want to grill.  The appearance is beautiful.  It looks great and cooks great...

It has now stopped working for the second time. The tech discovered that the first tech made a mistake when fixing the initial problem. After waiting 4 days and taking off work for Chas Roberts to come and fix the problem, we were told that since it was now after 12 noon, it couldn't be fixed until the next day. We now had to take another day off to have their mistake fixed. I feel that they need to work harder to fix a mistake made by their company. It should not cost us time and money for their error. —...

When I first bought my house they were all over the place and now 3 years later I finally have them almost licked. Being on a tight budget I needed something that worked but didn't cost an arm and a leg. While comparing the many products I found that Expert Gardener had the same properties as Scotts Turf Builder with Weed Control. Reading the label I also discovered that they both had the same address on the label. No where can I find that Scott's actually makes it but isn't having the same address stamped on the label the same thing? — — Expert Gardener Weed n Feed 28-3-3 — — Don't let the numbers confuse you as all fertilizers have these on them, they are the formula that is contained in every bag.

My unit came with two scents, the Fresh Linen and a Vanilla scent.  This unit is very unique in the way that it runs on two AA batteries and delivers a puff of scent continuously.  There is no on and off switch but there is a control on the bottom of the unit that allows you to set it for light fragrance or adjust it to a higher setting for more fragrance.  There are five settings.  — When you open the package containing your Glade Wisp Flameless Candle you will have to...

Not just scared of but horrified, run like I am being chased by an axe murderer scared of them. Having said that, I don't like to kill them either. I mean, it really isn't their fault that I go into cardiac arrest when I think I hear or see one. My husband bought these traps knowing I won't use snap traps and knowing that our cat recently caught a mouse in our room. All I can say is there has to be a better way! — — About Victor Live Catch Mouse Traps — — Princess is my indoor cat who can find a mouse and catch it no matter how fast it is or how well hidden. I suppose I should be grateful... — — Anyway, she caught a mouse in my bedroom the other night. I am sleeping on the couch again. We have an older house with little areas that mice apparently can get into. Now and then, one will get in and its demise is not pretty. Although I am horrified of mice, I don't...

The key board failed twice and need replacement. It keep failing on the same problem (keypad), it is now out of warranty and GE is charging us for every repair. The customer service have been horrible to deal with. It took weeks to schedule each appointment and the Technician is far from being the sharp. — — The noise level was very good at first. It came down to point that the purge pump was rattling the entire house. Technician failed to repair and I had to do it myself. (The pump was improperly hang). — — We also have monogram cook top and down draft. We had problem with every units and needed repairs several times. — — It is clear that GE appliance quality is down the drain and the customer service is just awful. I recommend to avoid their...

It is battery powered, so there is no cord. This has the advantage of going anywhere you need it, i like that. But it also runs out of juice within a half hour or less and the directions say to wait until the battery fully wears down before recharging. Not liking that so much when i am in the middle of sucking up dog pee and the thing stops! — I have used this a lot as I have three little dogs and one of them insists on leaving his calling card in the hallway at least once a week. I have a bissell carpet cleaner, but it is big and bulky to drag around just for one small spot. And you really need to clean dog messes with an exraction method, paper towels and rags just don't do it. I can recomend this product but I need to say that you can't expect to clean a huge mess or large area. The suction is no where near as good as on the big machine and it leaves the rug a bit damp. The brush on the bottom does not...
