gracefludd says "wish the battery lasted longer" about Ryobi 18V 2-Speed 3/8" Cordless Drill

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:36:03 GMT

I am a home depot shopper and usually buy ryobi products and am satisfied. I just wish this battery lasted longer. I had to buy a back-up battery cuz one is ALWAYS on the charger. i think for another drill, i will go back to dewalt. but otherwise the drill is very decent.

gracefludd says "awesome grill!" about Char-Griller duo model 5050

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:30:47 GMT

this is the best grill I've ever had, AND ever used! i love the options, u can attach a smoker to the side! its charcoal AND propane!!! its just a hair slower than I'm used to, but WELL worth the wait- the meat comes out OUTSTANDING every single time!!! I bbq year-round- summer, rain, snow- any and all the time, and this grill is just SO much fun to use. i have NO complaints!!!

gracefludd says "u'll wish u spent more money" about Frigidaire FDB1050RE - Precision Select 24" Built-In Dishwasher

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:20:18 GMT

my husband and i love fridgidaire but were on quite a budget when we needed a new dishwasher. gosh how we wish we'd spent a little more money and gotten a better model. this one is very loud! we actually have to turn up the tv in the livingroom a few notches when its running! it didn't come with the cord it needed. after it was in, the directions were actually a bit confusing- it took trial and error to learn how to turn it on correctly each time. (even if the correct option is lit, u still need to press the buttton, turn the dial a full twist, then click the door closed.) it works just fine,......if i don't cram it completely full. i have to leave a lil space in between the dishes or they wont come completely clean :( i dont hate this dishwasher, but i wouldnt buy it again, or reccommend it.

gracefludd says "great 2slice toaster" about ge ge 2 slice toaster

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:07:07 GMT

this toaster is gets the job done. i love the extra features like the cancel button, the bagel toasting option, the extrawide slots.its ez to use and looks good on the counter too. it does leave a crumby(sp) mess underneath, but really, is that really a big deal?

gracefludd says "perfect for steady common use" about Hamilton Beach portfolio blender

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:49:10 GMT

I have been thru a LOT of blenders, stripping gears, burning thru motors, leaky tops (and bottoms)- leaking is my biggest pet peave!!! I have had this blender for 3 years now, and it is GREAT!!! I blend ANYthing that comes to mind- ice, chocolate, frozen fruit, cold bricks of cream cheese- whatever, and it still works like the 1st day :) It doesn't leak all over my counter like MOST of the other blenders I've had. its ez to take apart- I put it in the dishwasher regularly (minus the base of course). go hamilton beach!

gracefludd says "if u like re-painting..." about glidden Glidden Evermore Premium Interior Semi-Gloss

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:41:36 GMT

my husband pressured me into buying glidden b/c of the price dif; i am a behr fan. i was so disappointed, and SO mad when i had to repaint. then repaint again. then spot touch-up a third time!!! it was such thin paint, and dried leaving streaks, and the white paint under showing through! it took SO much longer to paint, plus factoring in the extra gallon of paint I had to buy b/c of the extra coats. i will NEVER buy glidden anything again.

gracefludd says "job done in one coat" about Behr Interior Paint premium plus interior semi gloss enamel

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:32:48 GMT

behr is the only brand i would ever consider purchasing, it gets the job done in one coat, who wants to go back and repaint and repaint 2+ times, who HAS the time for that?! it is thick, it is quality, and semigloss is perfect for our house- i have 2 sons and 2 dogs- ALL wiping and rubbing their dirty hands and fur on my walls- semigloss allows u2scrub clean without wrecking ur paint job.

gracefludd says "my baby's FAV" about Enfamil Premium Lipil with Triple Health Guard

gracefludd — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:09:11 GMT

I have tried so many dif formulas, and my picky baby ONLY will eat this kind! Similac seemed to cause much more spit-ups (he has a super sensitive tummy), and plus he's picky about EVERYTHING, and even tho this is one of the more expensive kinds :( it was his FAV. I always asked the dr at every checkup for "samples" of it, and got coupons for it online.
