oilpainter says "New Sundried Tomato & Basil Cream Cheese spread is yummy!" about Kraft - Philadelphia Sundried Tomato and Basil Cream Cheese Spread

oilpainter — Sat, 09 May 2009 10:45:04 GMT

I tried Kraft's new Philadelphia Sundried Tomato and Herb Cream Cheese Spread and loved it!! I had tried this flavor of dipping oil before and hoped the new Philadelphia Cream Cheese spread would live up to my expectations. It certainly did! I tried it both on my homemade sourdough bread and on Italian bread and it was superb on both!

oilpainter says "Crosley Celebrity 3-Disc 4-in-1 Entertainer CR73-3 is beautiful." about Crosley - Celebrity 3-Disc 4-in-1 Entertainer Model #CR73-3

oilpainter — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:44:43 GMT

For a long time my husband and I wanted an antique style turntable with a CD player, cassette player, and radio built in. However, all we could find came in cheap plastic cases imitating wood. Finally, we found what we had been searching for so long when we discovered the Crosley Celebrity 3-Disk 4-in-1 Entertainer! The case is beautiful cherry hardwoods and veneer and it actually looks like a real antique. Each component of the combination entertainer works great and the unit comes with a convenient remote control.

The turntable will play our 78 RPM albums and converts to play our 48 RPM single records. It has a 3 Disk CD player, an AM/FM radio, and a cassette player all housed in a beautiful antique style cabinet 17 inches wide, 11 inches tall and 12 inches deep. The lid of the cabinet will lock in place while in use. It has a high quality diamond-head needle The unit was very affordable at $120.00. The Crosley Celebrity 3-Disk 4-in-1 Entertainer is a very high quality...

oilpainter says "The Whirlpool Dehumidifier AD70USS performs very well." about Whirlpool Gold Dehumidifier

oilpainter — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:12:17 GMT

After moving to a new house location we found ourselves in need of dehumidifier due to a basement that draws dampness. After comparison shopping we purchased a Whirlpool dehumidifier, model AD70USS, and have been very pleased with the performance it has given us.

The Whirlpool dehumidifier AD70USS is attractive enough not to be an embarrassment, is compact but takes care of a large area, 500 sq feet, and was very economical to purchase. It comes with a large capacity water collection bin that has an automatic shut off and is easy to remove and empty. I was totally amazed at the amount of water it removed from the air the first day we had it in use. It removes up to 70 pints of water within a 24 hour period in temperatures as low as 38 degrees! I could not believe how well it works. I love the automatic shut off as it prevents the container from overfilling and ruining my carpet.

Maintainence is easy. Whirpool reccommends to use a good soapy cleaner and bleach to keep...

oilpainter says "The Magic Bullet Blender is an incredible blender!" about Magic Bullet Blender - High Speed Mixing System

oilpainter — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:46:53 GMT

Over the years I've bought numerous kitchen gadgets and tools and many of those have been a total waste of money. However, after watching an infomercial in the middle of night on television I purchased the Magic Bullet Blender, a High Speed Mixing Blender and it is incredibly fast and easy to use. I will complete any blending or mixing job in 10 seconds or less! I love it!

My old blender has sat in the cabinet unused the major portion of time I have had it. The Magic Bullet base is no bigger than a lot of coffee mugs and stays right on the counter top. The attachments are all easy to clean, easy to use, and so convenient. The blender came with a recipe book for making many of my favorite things and all in 10 seconds or less!

The blender comes with mugs, comfort rings for the mugs, small and large blender cups, 2 types of blades, a regular type of blender container with juicer insert, and all the parts are interchangeable. This makes the blender capable of any blending or...

oilpainter says "The Dyson Animal DC17 is the best vacuum ever!" about Dyson Animal DC17 All Floor Vacuum

oilpainter — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:33:16 GMT

After years of wasting money on upright vacuums, filter bags, and broken belts, we bought a Dyson Animal DC17 and I could not be more pleased! The Dyson Animal cost more up front but saves so much money in the long run not having to replace other upright vaccum cleaners that tear up within a year.

A big selling point to the Dyson Animal DC17 was when the salesclerk told us that the vacuum seldom, if ever, broke a belt. As the name suggests, the Animal is designed for pet owners and is the best vacuum cleaner on the market for picking up pet fur. The first time we operated our Dyson Animal DC17 I thought the vaccum cleaner would suck the carpet off the floor. I could not believe the amount of powerful suction this vacuum cleaner has!

The vacuum cleaner comes with all attachments for upholstery, walls, and floors and fit on board so they are with you all the time. The machine is easy to operate and it is bagless! The filer couldn't be easier to remove and dump the dirt. ...

oilpainter says "Performa really lives up to the name! It performs exellent!" about Maytag Washer - Perfoma

oilpainter — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 05:53:29 GMT

The Maytag Performa is an excellent, energy efficient washing machine. The Energy Guide Tag says it as an average annual operating cost of $57.00. The machine has very desirable load features. It has an extra small load setting and an oversize load setting in addition to the normal settings found on most washing machines. This has saved us a great deal of money. I am not wasting water to wash a very small load now. I can also wait and wash a larger load of towels which saves a tremendous amount of water and electricity of not running two seperate loads.

The washer has operated very well over the two years we have owned it. We have never had any problem with it at all.

The Maytag Performa has Heavy Load capability and a reset button. It has a 3 speed combo and 12 cycles. The load cycle settings include: Mini, Small, Medium, Large, and Oversize. It has a double rinse option which can be set to the OFF position and an overload protector. It also has an unbalanced...
