sammy2u says "Dog hair....GONE!" about Rainbow Cleaning System Vacuum

sammy2u — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:38:12 GMT

Nothing gets dog hair out of your home like a Rainbow. As the owner of a Samoyed, I DO know dog hair. This is the only vacuum I have ever found that truly makes cleaning up dog hair a breeze. I have tried uprights, but have never found one that cleaned nearly as well. It may be easier to clean with an upright as compared to a canister vac, but are you looking for easy or clean?

I also love the fresh air (like after a rain) smell you get after you have vacuumed with your Rainbow. You can add additional aromas to the water basin if you choose, but I find it really isn't necessary.

sammy2u says "I have always owned a Singer" about Singer Sewing Machine - Mechanical - Model 7442

sammy2u — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:32:43 GMT

Unfortunately I had to take the first one back as the needle was completely misaligned. While you adjust side to side, the needle on that machine was set too far back and kept hitting the feed plate.

I had no problem making the exchange, and for everyday sewing this is a great little machine. It has more functions than an Singer I have owned in the past. (By the way, I still own my first Singer, which is over 50 years old and it sews great to this day)

The only drawback I have experienced with the 7442 is it does not sew thick materials as well as my Singers have in the past.

sammy2u says "Why would I want to shovel?" about Craftsman 26" Snow Thrower

I picked up the Craftsman snowblower during a sale last summer. The price was perfect and my old Toro was on it's last leg.

Michigan winters can be brutal, but so far the Craftsman snowblower has done all I can expect it to do. My driveway is clear with very little effort. It has started on the first pull all season.

The only drawback I have experienced are the screws on the snow chute must be tightened all the time or the snow blows straight up. When I received the blower, one set of screws were missing.

sammy2u says "I received the perfect Christmas present" about Pampered Chef Large Round Baking Stone - 1370

A very good friend gave me the Pampered Chef pizza stone for Christmas this year.

It is absolutely wonderful and has only improved on my pizza which is a favorite of family in friends anyway. Now it is only better.

The pan heats so evenly as compared to other pans. With the Pampered Chef pizza pan the crust could not be better.

sammy2u says "I love a gas range!" about Gas Ranges vs. Electric Ranges. What is the difference?

There is nothing better than a quality gas range. When cooking on the top burners you are always in control of the heat. Flat top electric stoves may be easier to clean, but they are much more difficult to regulate the heat with. Gas stoves are much more economical as well....
