The hair cones and my EUREKA 2991AVZ BAGLESS UPRIGHT CYCLONIC VACUUM...
by trthomp

Cons: Not enough suction to REALLY clean.
Hmm, after looking at other Epinions about the EUREKA 2991 AVZ BAGLESS UPRIGHT CYCLONIC VACUUM, I think I am the only one who remotely likes the thing!  Sure it probably has more negative than positive qualities, but I will give it ...

Vornado AVH2 Vortex Heater
Vortex heat, made in USA
by vitara12
Pros: USA made, uses only the energy needed to maintain a set temperature.
Cons: Fan motor made noise on startup but it eventually went away.
I selected this Vornado AVH2 heater as a secondary unit for my upstairs townhouse to use on milder winter days so I don't have to run my furnace.  I currently use the ATVH unit downstairs for heat.Specs Usage Large Room ...

Ace Hardware Econo-Heat (0601) Wall Mounted Panel Heater
Excellent, for what it is...
by cbmtrx
Pros: - Economical
- Generally quite safe
- Paintable & moderately easy installation
- Attractive
- Silent
Cons: - So-so heating capacity by itself
- Only for small rooms
- Restrictive installation locations
We had purchased 4 of these heaters to supplement our expensive oil heating. I work from a small home office and so heating the whole house during the day was unnecessary. Instead we run the furnace once in the morning, and then once or twice at night, ...

Sharp R-305BW 1100 Watts Microwave Oven
Look Sharp and Cut Your Microwave Times
by quasar
Pros: cooks quickly, cooks evenly, cooks well, large capacity, makes a good timer
Cons: difficult to clean, add a minute button placed oddly
The Sharp R-305 1100 Watt microwave oven is by far the fastest microwave oven I've ever used. With most microwaves I have to add additional time on top of the product recommendations; with this one I frequently have to chop time off of it. That made for ...

Ace Dryer Heat/Energy Saver -- ACEEX12
A Need To Vent
by nagels
Pros: Not too difficult to install. Nice white color matches the dryer.
Cons: Shoddy construction. Poor design. Otherwise it's fine.
First impressions. Usually they are accurate. Sometimes they’re not. This time I think I got it right. As I took the ACEEX12 Dryer Heater Diverter out of the box and held it in my hands I instantly thought it reeked of cheapness and shoddiness. Its ...

by Goatius
Pros: Runs quiet, heats efficiently, portable, sturdy
Cons: Temperature control not entirely accurate, cord is a little short
A few weeks back the first blast of cold started rolling over the city from Lake Michigan, and our apartment wasn't exactly comfortable.  I love Chicago and all, but man, I didn't expect the freeze this early in the year.  Winter is still a ...

by ohern4ever
Pros: - warms efficently and consistently, silent operation
Cons: - high center of gravity, no exact thermostat
I bought a heater this past year because my 18 month son's room happens to be the coldest room in the house. His room is on the second floor where the heat has somewhat of a hard time making it up anyway, and compounding the issue the attic access is in ...

Emerson MW8106W Microwave Oven
Convenient and Capable Microwave
by reasonfaith
Pros: Space saver and turntable, cost is cheap.
Cons: Not for large families or multi-servings.
Microwave ovens have become a necessity in most homes and dorm rooms now.  We have learned that some foods like turkey and T-bones just do better cooked in our regular oven.  This is why a smaller microwave oven like the Emerson 700 to 1000W is ...

Dirt Devil M0100 Bagless Handheld Vacuum
Not Dirt Devil...Dirt Demolisher!
by definitive400
Pros: Powerful, well-built, effective and convenient
Cons: Spare filters are tough to find locally
I have to admit that I am quite the vacuum nerd.  I had the OLD Dirt Devil handheld many years ago and found that vacuum to be...well...not so great.  The biggest reason was that it filtered the air so poorly and it pulled all of the dirt and ...

Traeger Industries BBQ070 All-in-One Grill / Smoker
Revolutionary Barbeque
by patrollergirlNew Member
Pros: It is an easy to use product that will smoke or grill any meat.
Cons: It is expensive compared to other grills. It doesn't remain hot enough to sear steaks.
It’s the middle of summer. The temperatures are soaring. You have to make dinner, but really don’t want to heat up the house. You look outside and wonder if your grill will bake a frozen pizza. You want excellent tasting prime rib, but the ...

Floors need to be swept periodically and this often entails pulling out the heavy duty vacuum cleaner and getting to work. But what if the job is small? Some consumers might try to walk around with a paper towel and pick up smaller messes, one bit at a ...

Dyson DC25 All Floors Bagless Upright Vacuum
Fearless Vacuuming with my Dyson DC25
by annes10
Pros: Well engineered, built, and packaged. Light. Consumer-friendly assembly required, easy instructions. Cleans magnificently!
Cons: Hefty cost. Unfurling the wand attachment puzzles me anew each time I try.
I purchased the Dyson DC25 Ball about four months ago, in a bad but determined mood. My bad mood was due to the fact that my old (but hey, not that old!) upright had just committed hara kiri by gnawing off its own cord insulation ...
