iamsears says "It Really Does Work!" about Sleep Number Bed Set

iamsears — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:31:58 GMT

The Sleep Number mattresses are everywhere, but you can't understand how great this product is until you experience it! I always thought I was a "hard mattress" kind of guy because I never took the time to test out other options. The Sleep Number beds are incredible. The mattress adjusts to your body's needs and you will always be comfortable. There are days when my back hurts and I need firm support, and other days when my body is exhausted from exercising and I really appreciate softer support.

The only negative thing for me is that the mattress is kind of bulky and doesn't fit some bed linens. It's a bit of trial and error finding a couple good sheet sets.

The Sleep Number mattresses cost a little more, but I think it's worth it for a product you will keep for around 10 years. It will evolve with you, and always provide the type of support your body needs. Do you know your sleep number? :-)

iamsears says "Beautiful Design But Not Without Concerns" about Whirlpool Washer - Cabrio Top Load WTW6600SBT

I purchased the Cabrio washer and dryer pair about two years ago because this model had received good reviews, and I really liked the style and capacity of the set. The Cabrio series looks fresh, clean, and modern, but is not flashy; the simple color palette should keep this set from looking dated any time soon. The controls are great. There is one knob and the rest of the controls are via electronic keypad. The layout is simple and functional. One of my favorite features is the versatility the Cabrio offers, accommodating varioius size loads, different temperature settings, and adjustable cleaning settings based on how soiled the clothing is.

I am happy with this purchase, and I feel it is a good value (I purchased the set during a Sears promotion offering a 10% discount). My only concern is that within the past two months I have had to have the washer repaired. For someone who does maybe 2-3 loads of laundry a week, I didn't expect the washer to need service for many years. But during......

iamsears says "Stylish and functional without breaking the bank!" about Cuisinart Grind and Brew - Thermal Coffee Maker

A friend bought me the Cuisinart Grind & Brew Thermal Coffee Maker last Christmas after she was sick of me complaining about my old coffee maker's leaky and hard-to-clean carafe. It's probably the only holiday gift that I am still using; I love it!! It solves all my old coffee problems. It is so stylish, like all Cuisinart items, but more importantly, it works. I use this thing every day and have never had a problem (7 months into owning it). Since I normally buy ground coffee, I don't use the coffee grinder feature very often, but it works very well and makes the process of brewing a pot of coffee from whole beans soooo easy! One of my pet peeves on my old coffee maker was that it would burn coffee if it sat on the heating element too long. This coffee maker has an adjustable temperature setting so that you never have the burnt coffee taste! Even with all the features of this machine, it has a clean and functional appearance and has a very reasonable price.
