Hamilton Beach 51101AV Single Serve Personal Blender with Travel Lid, 14 oz, Matte Black

I've been using this for 8 years now and I'm on my second one. The first one cracked when I dropped it. My fault.

This Hamilton Beach blender is a great size for 1 smoothie, which is all I need since I am single and ready to mingle fruit and veggies together for a delicious breakfast.

PROS:
--Great price
--For a tiny little motor this thing lasts forever
--Durable (as long as you don't drop it from a tall counter)

CONS:
--The container is hard to clean. It's very difficult to reach the bottom because it doesn't come apart. Grime ends up collecting on the bottom and sides of the container because there's just no way to reach it. I tell myself it's fine because it's just spinach and strawberry remnants. Works for me, anyway.

I would recommend this for single smoothies.

I love it....for what I USE IT FOR. I just mix up protein powder, wheatgrass powder, SMALL bits of frozen fruit and almond milk and this works just fine.

I like I can drink right from the blender jar and it washes easily (I wash immediately after so stuff doesn't dry on the blades).

I live in an 1800's house and it has little counter space, so this is another reason I love it.

With that said, I have had many of these personal or mini blenders and they seem...disposable...after awhile.

Hamilton Beach has been my fav. It does say no bpa plastic in the cup, but the cup does get pitted after awhile. That's one of the reasons I got this blender, it has TWO cups, which should likely extend my use.

IF YOU DO DECIDE to get one of these mini blenders, I WOULD go with this one with TWO blending jars. It costs about the same and is great if there are two of you who like to make smoothies OR, if just you, when one jar gets too pitted, you have a spare!

IT DOES mix everything up just fine, but I wouldn't do any large pieces of frozen...anything. If you want a really powerful blender, I would go with a bigger one.

Edited review: I originally gave this blender a 2 Star review because it was my 2nd one and the jar cracked after a month of use for the specific purpose of making bulletproof coffee and regular dishwasher use. My bad, I guess I’d forgotten or possibly never read the user’s manual because it clearly shows an illustration showing to hand wash the jar and lid and there is an actual statement saying NOT for the use with hot beverages. I used my original one for a few years for making protein shakes and it worked great, the jar didn’t crack until a few weeks of using it for coffee. But it definitely does not work for hot liquids. Total user error. ;)

I remain a real fan of this blender. It makes smoothies better than other blenders, and at this price point it is truly a winner.

I recommend buying the option that comes with two blender cups. If it isn't available, wait it out. It is well worth the wait. If one blender cup ever fails, you have a back-up. And if you don't feel like washing the cup immediately after use, or if you need to make two smoothies at a time, you have a clean cup ready for use.

This blender is put to use nearly every day. It's usual victims include almond milk, a large handful of greens, cinnamon, almond butter, protein powder, and one large frozen banana. I may add an ice cube or two for thickening as needed. The motor and blade are powerful enough to turn this mixture into a smooth, thick drink.

Very happy.

Quick easy way to throw together a smoothie. You do have to hold the button down the whole time, but if it's just 20 seconds or so, it's no big deal. I make a banana smoothie on mornings when I play tennis and it's quick and easy! (1 average banana, 3-4 ounces milk [in my case, rice milk because of allergy], three ice cubes, a few drops of banana flavoring [to enhance], and a third of a teaspoon of sugar. Put in the blender and hold the button down 'til you hear no more ice cubes being cracked. Drink right out of the mixer!} I have a "real" blender, but this one is easier, quicker, and less to clean up afterwards.

Liked my own so much that I bought/sent my daughter one as a surprise gift.

Description

Our Recommendations to the Consumer: 1. Cut the recipe in half so as not to exceed the capacity. 2. If back to back cycles are required / needed allow more time to cool between cycles or run the unit with no jar to allow the unit to cool between cycles. Running with no load allows the motor to run at maximum speed and the motor fan pull ambient air across the motor to cool.

I wanted something that could make me a one person smoothie away from home and after looking at several of these types of blenders, comparing prices and reading the reviews, I settled for this one. I have been using it everyday for the last 3 weeks and it has met all my expectations, and more. I have a, Nutri-Blender(Bullet) at home that I am accustomed to using and one of my concern with the, Hamilton Blender was, if it would be able to blend all the fruits combined with things like; beets, ginger, carrot, and mainly the nuts. Well, it has been doing so successfully. Just remember that blenders were meant to be ran in short intervals of about 30 seconds, giving the motor a break, of at least 1-2 minutes, allowing it to cool off or it will definitely burnout, the Hamilton Blender is no different. If you use it correctly it will perform as expected.

I've been using this for a year and, although I rarely write reviews, I feel compelled to write one for this product. I am so impressed by the job this little blender does! No, it's not a Vitamix (which I love) but at a tiny fraction of both the cost and energy usage, it absolutely deserves 5 stars.

I use this primarily for smoothies and dressings and it does an excellent job. I often end up filling it right to the top and it blends the entire contents. Smoothies are well pureed and dressings stay fully emulsified.

As others have noted, it has a single speed that only engages when you are holding the button; I highly recommend pulsing on and off for effective blending and protecting the motor. I have used much bigger blenders that automatically go into pulse mode, probably to protect the motor.

It is extremely portable--I can easily take the whole set up anywhere, and it works well even on a small off-grid electric system. I would not attempt to put the container filled contents in a knapsack or other bag--I keep it upright, carrying it by hand or in the cup holder of my car.

Again, I am very very pleased with this item, highly recommend it, and would buy it again--but I don't have to for now since it's still going strong.

I really love this blender. My nutribullet died and I needed a temporary fix but honestly I love this thing so much I'm just going to keep using this right now. I use it for fresh veggies and frozen fruits also ice and it works beautifully for that plus it has my favorite part of the nutribullet, the cup detaches and you drink right from it!

➕I pulse the pulse button (off & on button motion) some ppl have recommended it so you don’t kill the tiny motor

➕YOU CAN NOT PUT ANY HOT LIQUIDS IN THIS BLENDER IT SAYS THAT REPEATEDLY IN THE USER MANUAL (it’s a plastic cup it can’t handle that kind of heat of course like most plastics it would eventually break or crack if you continuously put hot liquids in it people let’s think)

➕ it does crush ice and frozen fruits

➕super easy to clean I wasn’t sure how clean this blender would get since you can’t detach the blades but it definitely does get cleaned pretty well as long as you don’t let whatever you blended seat and dry up in the cup...add some water and dish detergent and let it soak for a few mins

➕for the price and the tiny motor that this thing has I’m surprised at how great this blender performs it took me less then 8 minutes to make my smoothies

All and all if you’re looking for something to cheap and good quality to make your quick smoothies or protein shakes then this might fit the bill for you it definitely does for me❗️

works well ordered more, everyone that see it like and wants one for them. it allows you to add more ice while blending and just take it and go right out to the door into the car no need to do anything mix and go or mix and drink right from cup.
have made mixed drinks, smoothies, powered drink mixes with water. made pancake mix in it as well with milk eggs oil pancake mix. poured right out of cup into fry pan perfect 10 pancakes. cleaned the cup before last one was still cooking. using blender 3 to 4 times a day now.
mother in law and sister in law each want one. even my co worker wants one now for his protein shakes.

p.s. - don't buy old model with stainless steal cup better with the clear cups.
also do not hold blender while mixing. just lock it before hitting button. holding the cup adds stress to blender gears.
wish the black came with 2 cups like the white. but my wife wants it black

Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Baker's Big Sheet

Yes, you can use this under a broiler or at 450+ degree F to roast vegetables, and yes, cooked-on oil comes clean and doesn't affect the stickiness of the pan. This is all aluminum, with (allegedly) steel around the edges so it doesn't warp at high temperatures. Very heavy duty pan.

A little history: when I moved out on my own for the 1st time, my mom gave me a no name aluminum sheet pan. I have abused this thing for about 10 years. My mom had it for probably 20 before me. I have a little family of my own now and my husband likes roasted veggies, but I have found that I often make broccoli and potatoes or fries or homemade chicken nuggets in the same night. I have go thru a few other sheets pans looking for a sturdy one to accompany my old beat up one. They all would twist or warp over 400 degrees like it was their job. Didn't seem like the price made a difference. I had cheap ones and then expensive ones. They all went funny at 400. I assumed all pans did that these days and almost gave up, but then I found this one. Two, actually. So now I have three awesome pans. I use the old one and one new one for veggies, and the third exclusively for baking cookies so it will stay cleaner and stick free.
Note: these are not "non-stick", they are just not sticky because the metal is really smooth. If you're afraid of chemicals leeching into your foods from non-stick coatings, these are a good choice. Use a fat (oil, shortening) to make foods easy to remove from the pan.

I've never owned one of these before so I put it in the dishwasher not knowing that I wasn't supposed to ......... I'm sure you can guess how it turned out. However, I was sure that would not change the usefulness of the pan so I've continued to use it anyways. With a sheet of aluminum foil on top and a light spray of cooking oil all my food has come out of the toaster oven perfectly! The sturdiness of the pan and the even cooking were the reason I bought the pan and the trip through the dishwasher didn't ruin that one bit.

I'm finally writing this review 1/2 a year after purchasing because I recently handwashed the pan and it almost looks like new! It seems that the cooking spray has been leaking through the foil and months of baking the oils has seasoned the pan. I imagine all these reviews with photos saying the pan is junk probably ran it thru the dishwasher and never tried to figure out why.

I love the jelly roll size. Two of these fit perfectly in the oven on the rack. They are much easier to clean than one huge pan, plus easier to store inside cabinets. It is very well-made with measurements exactly as described. These are by far the most frequently used item in my kitchen.

These are the nicest baking sheets I've ever owned, and I've tried a lot of different brands over the years! I will admit in the past I always went for the cheapest ones I could find, but now I know it's totally worth it to spend a few more bucks for quality.

I bought two half sheets a few weeks back, and now I'm writing this review just as I am about to order two more half sheets because I love them that much. If you're on the fence about this, just do it!!!

As advertised, they are a heavy gauge, high quality, and DO NOT warp. I fill a lot of orders for sugar cookies, and these sheets bake the cookies with even browning and a nice flat top that is perfect for decorating. I actually did a little experiment where I baked half my cookies on the Nordicware sheet, and baked the other half using a Farberware sheet. Same cookie dough, same silicone baking mat, same size and thickness of cookies, and same temperature and baking time. Guess what? The Nordicware cookies baked beautifully whereas the Farberware cookies were nearly burnt on the edges/bottom and had an uneven bake.

I also appreciate the high sides because I can wrap the sheets with plastic wrap, keeping my cookies soft and fresh during the decorating process. Also if the mood ever strikes for a jelly roll or swiss roll cake, these sheets will work nicely.

Lastly, I feel like this is a very fair price to pay for high quality, reliable baking sheets. I'll probably end up buying one or two quarter sheets at some point.

These are impressive! They don't warp, which is crucial when using to bake cakes. They fit side by side on my oven racks so I can have 4 jelly roll sized sheets baking, roasting, or reheating at once. I typically use parchment paper to line, therefore clean up is a snap. These Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Sheets are indispensable and I wish I found them sooner!

Our commercial-duty Naturals Bakeware is made of even-heating, rust-proof aluminum and features a galvanized steel reinforcement around the rims for added strength. Bakers agree that aluminum bakes best. Hand-wash cleaning only. Made in the USA. Limited Lifetime Warranty. Nylon, wood, or silicone utensils are recommended.

---

The quality is outstanding. The heavy-gauge wire under the rim prevents warping from heat, and the thickness of the metal transmits heat beautifully.

Update: I've just attached a photo of the perfect cookie from this pan, and one baked on a Wilton. I'm buying another Nordic Ware and giving away or recycling the Wilton at a scrap metal place.

I am very impressed by this bakeware. It is made from a single sheet of metal. It feels substantial in your hand. It is thick and rigid. I do not see this bending or warping at anytime in the future. The rim is just as solid. This tray can be picked up with one hand and does not bend or flex in any way. Plus it's Made in America. All bakeware should be as good as this!

These Nordic Ware pans are kitchen workhorses. I have three sizes in my kitchen now, the quarter, the half, and now the large. They are all made from the same durable aluminum. They clean up beautifully and they last. They heat evenly and beautifully. And, at this price, if you ruin one, you won't cry. I use these for everything from baking, to roasting vegetables, to catching drippings off meats. The large size is especially great for all the sheet pan dinner recipes that have become popular. The larger size ensures that the food won't be overcrowded.

One note is that putting these in the dishwasher will alter the color/finish of the pan, although it won't affect it's use. A couple of mine have been run through the dishwashers by others in my house. They aren't as pretty, but still work fine. These sheets are easy enough to clean that I think that it is far easier to clean them by hand.

Best baking sheet I've ever purchased. I spent hours researching online and this was the one! I was tired of wasting time (I own a business and work all the time) and money baking, just to find the bottoms burned. This sheet hasn't failed me and I've owned it for 2 years now. Purchased for friends and family members because everyone should own it. On Amazon today to purchase another for myself!

 This is excellent pan that meets almost all expectations.
Pros
-Perfect dimensions that stack with other pans
-Great price
-Decent Metal gauge
-Heat spreads evenly so everything cooks together.

Cons
-May warp when heated above 400F. (Mine first one did, I'll keep you posted on this new one.)

Overall
Great value pan. One pan isn't enough. I thought it was. Naively, I thought two would be enough too. I couldn't afford to spend another $20-$25 on a pan again. $10 makes sense and It's a comparable pan to the Commercial Vollrath pan. (Totally worth going all Vollrath if you can afford.)

AmazonBasics Blue Diamond Shower Curtain

I bought one of these for each bathroom, shower curtain liners, a new piece of art to hang, frames for the art, and new bath mats for under $45 a bathroom...and it gave them an entirely new look. Great, inexpensive bathroom makeover. These are light weight, can easily be thrown in the wash, and finish the room off nicely. I was bummed that the price doubles for some of the prints, including one I wanted. But this print ended up working out perfectly.

I bought this shower curtain for the house I just moved into. The bathroom colors/tile design aren't my favorite ever and I'll probably change some of it but what I really like about this shower curtain is that it has all of the colors in my bathroom but organized in a light, pleasing design. Everything else I've purchased so far goes very well with it. It is very lightweight and doesn't blow into my shower and stick to me. You know how annoying that is! So far I don't have a liner with it because my shower has a deep rim and low flow. It's kept the water off of the floor adequately. It's easy to wash also. I am very happy with it!

This is a very pretty shower curtain! Can't believe the value for the cost! I actually expected something dingy but this far exceeds my expectations. Brightens up my bathroom very nicely and have received 2 compliments so far.

Love the color and simple design to separate the bathroom area from the rest of my laundry room. I just hung it two days ago, and expect that it will look good and be easy to clean for a few years. Fabric is very lightweight and moves with a light breeze.

This is a very nice shower curtain. It's thinner material so not a heavy gauge but it looks very pretty in my bathroom. It was easy to hang. It was slightly wrinkled out of the box and I thought I should iron it but it seems to be smoothing itself out the more showers we take since the steam does it thing! I would purchase this again.

I just painted my bathroom a light grey color and wanted to add crisp white and some teal. This curtain is perfect! The white is bright, and the water drops are about 4 different beautiful colors of teal. It's light and airy. I haven't washed it yet; hope it holds up. Very happy!

I was tired of our neutral-colored shower curtain and wanted a little more color. This shower curtain is so pretty and looks beautiful! Such a steal!

I got the one with the polka dots and it looks just like the picture. It's light and of a nylon like material. Dries fast if it gets wet and gives a bathroom a colorful look. only complaint is that it has slits for the curtain hooks - so not sure how it will hold up over time.

Simple, affordable shower curtain. Really brightens up my dull apartment bathroom. The colors are nice and they go with most decor. The material is pretty substantial and it doesn't look cheap at all. You might want to iron it before hanging or throw it in the dryer to remove wrinkles after opening the package, because they don't go away on their own after being subjected to steam from showers. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Simple Houseware 14-Inch Twin Size Mattress Foundation Platform Bed Frame, Twin

I would normally prefer a regular mattress foundation as it's easier to make the bed, but for a guest room this is fine. I put an anti-skid rug rubberized pad between mattress and this frame. It's not so much that the mattress slides it's that it's a bit more challenging to make the bed with the wires. That could be solved with some kind of a piece of ply or something else or simply the under pad for a rug. I do like the height as it allows for plenty storage under the bed.

I bought this frame for my 6'5" 260 lbs. son and am happy to report that it appears to support him very well. When shopping, I was looking for a frame with a superior supporting system as the "typical" frame was inadequate. He is a teenager and does not treat much of my furniture gently! I would definitely recommend this product for any individual requiring a frame under similar circumstances. Set up was easy with pictures to assist and I actually did it myself, which is not the way it normally happens as my husband usually does this kind of thing. It's only been a few weeks since set up but nothing appears to have "loosened".

This is the 3rd different style of bed frame I have ordered and assembled. This one is pretty sturdy and has a lot of support, but way harder to put together then the other two. But it does appear to have a lot more support. Would recommend, takes about 10 minutes or less to assemble.

Very great product and easy to assemble. Seems quite hefty and durable. Not flimsy at all. It remains quiet when getting on the bed too. If you need a cheap alternative to a box spring, look no futher.

It's 14", and allows for storage underneath if desired. Sturdy, and functional, and perfect for my memory foam mattress. My cats won't be able to scratch up this bed frame like they did my pleather one, so that's definitely one reason I purchased this. The cost was appropriate and I see this frame as a great value!! My bed sits high now, and I like that🖒.

---

Feature Product

• 14" height for more storage space. 13" storage space under the frame
• Replace bed frame and box spring
• Easy assembly
• No additional box spring is reauired. You can put your memory foam, spring, or latex mattress directly on it.
• Great for average weight people

Very easy to assemble and very sturdy and no squeaking. Lost one star because one of the metal parts was warped a bit. Luckily my son knew how to fix it so I didn't have to return. Also, just be warned that not all totes fit underneath the bed. If you have a bunch of totes already you're looking to store, make sure you measure them first. My clear plastic ones fit great, but my bigger heavy duty ones do not. My fault for not measuring first though, but just thought I'd warn people because I wish I had thought to do that! But when it boils down to it, I still would have bought it.

Really sturdy although not that easy to put up but it's worth every penny i paid for..i love it. It needs a little common sense so you won't damage your floor.I have my BF cut pieces of wood blocks for the legs..Not squeaky ,no missing pieces ,no bend corners upon delivery..I love it.now i can put alot of stuff at the bottom..i really need that EXTRA EXTRA room since my apt.is small.I recommend this bed 5 star 😄

i love this frame,at first i thought its to high,but actually its not. it feels good to sit on it and or get off of it , It also has made my pillow top mattress firmer than when it was on my box springs. my cat really enjoys it as much as me too.
now my daughter wants one but for a double or queen.

I purchased the Full size for my daughter, and we put it together in about 20 minutes. It's not as high quality as the queen-sized frame I purchased for myself and my wife, but together we weigh...well, a lot more than double my daughter.

Be careful as you tighten screws not to over-tighten - if you do, you may bend the frame, which will severely weaken it. I didn't see any such warnings on the directions, but I wouldn't be surprised if that (along with shipping damage) explains some of the problems some people have had.

Don't expect super-high quality, but this seems serviceable, and you can't beat the price unless you just throw the mattress right on the floor. This probably isn't going to stand up to abuse, but it looks sturdy enough to work for a few years.

This is about the 5th one I have purchased... not sure they were all the same brand, but exactly same style. I learned through buying many mattresses (I own rental condo's), that it's not the mattress that craps out, it's the boxspring. The best thing to do is to avoid a box spring all together and get this bed frame... solves all problems and has great storage underneath. Be sure to order brackets separately if you intent to attach a head aboard of footboard.

AmazonBasics Chambray Sheet Set - Twin, Cool Aqua

I love these! I bought a California King size of the grey. They're super comfy, and they fit perfectly! Most of the luxury brands I've purchased have had loose (I know California King and STILL loose) fitted sheets and a short sheet. This for perfectly! No more fixing the corner that comes off, or sleeping on a fabric roll. I also sleep hot, and these stay cool all night. For those of you who have dogs that sleep with you (I have two pits) their hair doesn't get all intertwined into the fabric with these. A lint roller will remove it...

Love the color of these sheets, they were a little thinner than expected but they stay cool which is great for hot sleepers/ summertime. The material is a little slippery so my covers fall of the bed pretty easily but the fitted sheet stays put on the mattress. Will probably buy again.

I was unsure on buying these due to the name of the wash being denim. Thankfully I took a chance on a great deal and they are a light blue- not denim as in jeans. They are very soft like the vintage wash or bamboo sheets which we like. The pockets are deep as well. I would buy these again easily!

The color of this sheet set was as expected. The quality seems good so far, especially for the price.

Nice fabric, keeps cool throughout the night. Washes very well!

Great price for a basic sheet set. The chambray is a fun color, and the sheets are soft enough for kids' use.

Great product!
Fells nice and soft.
Only down side is it fits MY bed perfectly sometimes resulting in one of the mattress showing. Just requires more attention in order for that not to happen.

These are very basic sheets, and are not luxurious, but they are very durable and affordable. I will buy more.

We home homeless people at our church twice a year. New sheets were required but the beds are of a smaller size. The sheets received fit very well and looked great. Time will tell how durable they are, but so far they are more than we expected for the cost.

This is a pretty good sheet set in my opinion. Soft and didn't irritate my skin. I'm going to buy some more. Great price.

24 Pockets - SimpleHouseware Crystal Clear Over The Door Hanging Shoe Organizer, Brown (64'' x 19'')

Love it! Love it! Love it!
I bought it for my cleaning supplies. My door was not wide enough for the organizer, so I just folded one column behind the other. Perfect!
And I love the clear cover so I can see exactly what is in that pocket.

We bought this product, not for shoes, but to use on our cruise! We paired it with 4 strong magnetic hooks and it was known as "The Wall of Wonder" - the walls of cruise ship cabins are metal and magnetic hooks attach everywhere. We had everything in the pockets of this thing - it was perfect for keeping stuff off the limited counterspace. First aid items, sunglasses, hairbrushes, phone chargers, toiletries, you name it - it had plenty of room and held up great. It's now a permanent part of our "cruise kit!"

I was also pleased that it did not have that "plastic" or "vinyl" smell when I took it out of the package.

Having no place to store my shoes was driving me nuts, and I was always tripping over shoes. I wasn’t sure if the pockets in the organizer would be large enough for my Crocs, but they fit perfectly when I put the shoes in heel first. (For reference: my Crocs are women’s size 9). I was able to get two pairs of sneakers in the last two sets of pockets as well. The pockets seem to be well made, and I’m confident that this shoe organizer will last.

I am using this for leggings, not shoes.... and so far, so good. Seems to be a well made product... Doesn't slide around on the door like some other ones I've tried. Has decently sized pockets. I am surprisingly pleased with this.

I love this organizer. I'm not using it for shoes but for my many bottles of car detailing products. It's hanging in my garage filled with detail sprays, glass cleaner, car wash, polishes,.waxes, Interior spray and other stuff. Thanks

use it on the pantry door and will order another for the other pantry door.

We're actually using it to organize dog food and treats and toys.

We recently took a 3 week vacation where we would not be reachable regularly via phone or internet, and at the last minute, our dog sitter cancelled on us. We had to call a bunch of friends, and coordinate people to take care of him. Some people would cover mornings, some would cover nights, etc, with a total of 6 people involved in watching him (we have a friend living at the house, but he was unable to feed/walk the dog regularly enough). Our biggest concern was that there would be miscommunication about who was feeding the dog, and when. So, we got this organizer, pre-bagged each day's food into zip lock bags (half a bag to be served in the morning, the other half at night). This way, it would be visibly obvious if he was missing meals.

After we got back, we didn't need to organize the dog food, but we found it super handy for keeping treats, a peanut butter jar, and some toys.

It's held up pretty well, and it looks pretty decent.

I bought this to use in my daughter's closet for her hair bows. It works perfectly! Prior to this we had them all in a bin that I was constantly digging through. My husband even agrees that this new method is great. The clips fit over the door perfectly and it doesn't swing around when we open and shut the door (which is a favorite game for our 15 month old). I'm able to fit up to 15 bows in each slot and sorted them by color to make it easier.

I bought this for a classroom use. I have my students put their cell phones in it each period before class. It's lasted the entire year with respectful and mature students, but seven times a day plus something is getting stuck in and pulled out, and I've had no problems with product. I also use the dry erase marker to write seat Numbers on the pockets. Good product --I would buy again, but that would mean I have 48 students Per class & we can't go there… LOL

Strong wide pockets will easily hold large shoes. There are FOUR hooks instead of the typical three, and the metal is strong but thin enough to fit our tight door jamb. This is a very impressive shoe organizer. I have bought several, and this is the nicest by far. I repurposed this for a small bathroom we have with no storage. It is on the back of the door and is holding all manner of bottles and sprays. With the clear plastic pockets, it is easy to find, and easy to clean. AWESOME ORGANIZER ~ BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!

Sweet Home Collection Size 4 Fine Brushed Microfiber 6 Piece 1500 Thread Count Egyptian Quality Deep Pocket Bed Sheet Set - 2 EXTRA PILLOW CASES, VALUE - Twin, Aqua,

Nice quality microfiber sheets. The available color selection offered here is great. You can find 6pc. microfiber sets even cheaper--under $20--at Ross and Marshalls, but color selection will be very limited. Before buying microfiber sheets, be sure that you are familiar with what you are getting. Too many reviews ihere are low because the ignorant buyers are upset that they haven't gotten high thread count cotton sheets, which cost considerably more than microfiber.

Microfiber sheets are great, as they are as soft as high thread count but they are much thinner. I have totally switched over from high thread count Egyptian cotton and have never looked back. Microfibers cost a fraction of what the high thread count quality cotton sheets do, but are as soft and comfortable, and come in such an array of colors, making decorating or matching so simple. The biggest difference that you must get used to is microfiber is much thinner than quality cotton. Some people find this annoying, and much prefer the heaviness of cotton, but I have come to grips with it--loving the softness and economical price above all else.

I was a little skeptical about the quality of $25 bedsheets bought over the internet would be, but I am so glad that I took the chance. Although on the thinner side (what do you expect for $25), these sheets are soft and very comfortable. They do the job of being bedsheets and are true to size. To clear up the confusion about what comes with it... I bought the 6 piece set in the full size white window pane option; it came with one bedsheet, one liner, and four pillow cases. I had a specific vision in my head about how I wanted my bed to be and I am very happy about how it came out. I actually really enjoy this design in that it is not too busy, but still provides some personality.

One CON however... the set came wrapped nicely and neatly in a plastic packaging, which was very nice... BUT it came smelling strongly of chemicals... one wash and one dry fixed the problem immediately though. I would rebuy from this collection again in different designs.

I love these sheets! I bought them in pink for my full size bed and I immediately washed them when they arrived and was so excited to put them on my bed and see the fit. The fitted sheet was probably the nicest and easiest fitted sheet I've ever dealt with, the other sheet I usually don't use on my bed but decided to use it because the fit was a lot longer than my bed size and flowed beautifully off my bed sides and felt amazing. I also love the color so much and the feel, the extra two pillow sheets are a life saver as I like to switch my pillow sheets out a lot for my skin. Right when I put them on my bed after washing my mom walked in my room and said I need to immediately order another set! 10/10 I love love love these and hope everyone gives them a shot especially for the price. This is also my first Amazon review after having my prime membership for years so I really needed to give my honest review.

Okay. I am not a paid spokesperson but let me tell you that I am a stickler for comfortable sheets as I would imagine most of us are. When I saw the price of $25 for a 6 piece 1500 thread count, what pictorially appealed to my sense of taste I said what the heck. Let's give it a shot. Not only are these sheets spectacular looking but they are without a doubt the most comfortable set of sheets with which I own. Do yourself a favor and go for it! I will be purchasing a half a dozen more. Sets that is. Aside from the unbelievable price these sheets are excellent quality as I have already washed them a dozen times with zero degradation to the fabric. They just seem to get more comfortable as time goes by.

Ok after reading some of the negative reviews I was a little skeptical.
OK nay sayers, these are not Egyptian cotton sheets & if you really thought they were for 27 bucks gmab.
These were what I was hoping I was buying. I have a few sets of expensive Egyptian cotton sheets & they are all right but heavy.
I found I was getting foot cramps at night when I used them. So a year or so ago I bought some of this blend.
I live in Florida & prefer a lighter sheet. I also found that I didn't get the foot cramps at night because they were not as heavy.
These sheets are truly soft, comfortable & cool & a lot less expensive than Egyptian cotton.
I also like the fact that you get the 2 extra pillow cases.

These are GREAT!!! I was very hesitant to order these because of some other reviews but I am so glad I did!!! I needed sheets with deep pockets, and the pockets are deep with extra room for when I add a mattress topper. They also come with 4 pillow cases in the king set which I love because I am always buying more pillowcases and I want them to match. But let me tell you, these are THE softest sheets!!! My husband loves them also. He commented on them as soon as he woke up this morning. I love to buy bedding and i am definitely buying another set or two of these sheets in the next week or two. There were a couple different colors and patterns, I just hope they are EXACTLY like quality of the grey striped set I have now!!! These were a great deal. My new favorite thing!!!

I received these and immediately washed them and put them on my bed. The fitted sheet is large enough to fit over a thicker mattress. It also has a band on each corner to help keep the sheet on. That was a plus.
The material is soft and very comfortable to sleep on.

Very satisfied with this purchase!

At first, I wasn't too sure about these sheets. After washing them I placed then on our bed and for that week there were a lot of balled up pills of lint/fibers from the fabric. Good sized big balls of stuff collecting I thought was odd! It wasn't that the fabric was really pilling and staying put on the fabric like sometimes happen, these were loose and could be swept off the bed after a nights sleep. After washing them a 2nd time I noticed a lot less. After the 3rd washing they seem to be ok, but it makes me wonder how long they will last if they balled up that much fiber? They are super soft and feel super comfy to sleep on so I can't complain too much after several washings.

I read all the reviews (most Are idiots)! They should have READ THE THE DETAILS before buying! IT FOES NOT STATE ANYWHERE THAT THESE SHEETS ARE EGYPTION COTTON. They should only be angry with themselves. I LOVE these sheets so much I ordered a second set. They are thin, softer than egyption cotton, they DO NOT wrinkle like cotton does or at all as far as I’ve seen & they stay put on my thick mattress even when my husband & I toss & turn all night. These sheets are 1500 thread count but not of egyption cotton. THEY ARE GREAT LUXURIOUS COOLING SHEETS that don’t fade over time too!

I always had to have at least 1000 count Egyptian cotton sheets. It’s the one thing I believe you should spoil yourself with. There’s nothing better than crawling into these sheets at the end of a hard day. Well, I took a chance and bought these. Mostly because my husband sweats at night and no matter what I do I always have a stain on his side of the bed.

Well, I definitely had my doubts with these. But, they said they were anti-sweat sheets. The said they are breathable. WOW, I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE TO EVERY!!! THEY A AS SOFT AS I WANTED AND YES.....YES, THEY ARE BREATHABLE!! Never thought I’d believe it. But, I will never by any other sheets but these again. My husband told me after the first night he hasn’t slept that good in years. Every other kind of sheets he would get HOT and COLD. so besides sweating his sleep was broken every night. He wakes up in a good mood every morning now and told me to throw away all the other sheets in the house.

Writing Computer Desk Modern Simple Study Desk Industrial Style Folding Laptop Table for Home Office Brown Notebook Desk

I love this desk! It is just the right size, sturdy, and extremely easy to assemble. The assembly pretty much consisted of taking it out of its box, opening up the frame/legs of the table (the are already screwed together and ready to go), and snapping the table top into the frame. Done! It is lightweight, portable, and looks perfect as an office "corner" in my bedroom.

I was looking for a small but functional desk for a smaller apartment that I could easily bring in without hauling a heavy box and having to take out tools to put together. This desk caught my eye. It is reasonably priced and could double as a side table when not used as a desk. It arrived 2 days ago and unpacked it tonight. I had some concern from reading other reviews because of damage but mine was fine. I took pictures of the process as I know I find these handy when deciding on a purchase. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to put it in a 1 bed apt. It will be used for a side table for a lamp and fan and when needed take a counter stool from the breakfast bar as a desk chair for privacy. There is no tools needed to install it at all. It was nicely packed and had no issues putting it together in minutes. I could easily put it in a closet if we didn't want it out. I could also put it in the living room as a side table as well. Nothing real fancy, but looks nice, functional, sturdy and easily transported. I would purchase it again.

I love this desk! It was so easy to put together and I love how simple it looks but looks sooo nice! The fake wood top doesn’t look cheap at all and I’m usually very picky about it but it actually looks nice! It’s also very sturdy! As you can tell I also have the matching bookshelf! I would definitely purchase more if they had more products in this line!

I absolutely love my desk. I use it as a makeup table. Its easy to clean and fits so much on it. Putting it together was very easy all i had to do was snap the top to the frame. No tools at all were needed id repurchase for this alone. Its a great desk/table.

For the price of around sixty bucks, this is an outstanding value. It is extremely easy to assemble; I was done in five minutes and it required no tools or glue. The desk is surprisingly stable and the top, while thin, does not feel flimsy. The only downside--and it's a small one--is that the faux-wood-grain texture of the top can make writing on a piece of paper difficult, especially using a ballpoint pen. It doesn't interfere with using an optical mouse, however.

I bought THREE of these tables for my craft room (in progress). They’re perfect for my needs. They’re durable and compact when folded up. I would purchase these again and again.

We converted the "Play Room" into more of a teen room by selling the Train Table and in place putting this AWESOME DESK! My son is soon to be 14. This desk is fantastic. It took mere seconds to put together. It really dressed up that room quickly. I bought a chair similar to the one that is pictured with it (the white one with wooded legs) on Amazon as well. Great prices. Highly recommend.

Desk is sturdy, nice looking, and cheap. Surprisingly sturdy considering the price. Extremely easy to assemble - like my grandma could do it easy.

Only con is that you can tell that it may not last forever because of the seems where it was pressed together underneath as visable (see photo.)

Overall I would definitely recommend.

man, this is the most elegant and portable study desk I have even seen. It might cost twenty bucks in its material and production, I am willing to pay the full amount for it, and buy one more if needed. It is sturdy, but it comes with no screw to secure it, its surface has been very carefully treated/designed, it is not smooth, yet an optical mouse works very precisely on it, it gives a feeling of warmth in its touch and elegance in its simplicity. If there is one thing I might suggest the designer to do is to add a small drawer underneath the table to hold pen pencil eraser stapler etc. That can be easily done with the current package and design without sacrificing the sturdiness and portability of the desk.

All the other reviews are spot on for the desk. The desk takes seconds to put together. The frame is pre-assembled, and the top has clips that just pop right onto the frame. The desktop has to be flipped a certain direction or the clips do not line up. I thought it was defective, but turning the top around solved it. You do need give it a hard tap to get into place.

I thought the top was just going to have a faux woodgrain with some light texture, but it really has the look and feel of real wood right down to the grooves and crevices.

The size is perfect. I have a 15" Dell XPS and i have just enough room to the right and left of the laptop to have a mouse pad, cup of coffee, pen cup, etc. The pictures for the product superimpose items on the desk that are not really there. For example, one screenshot shows an i-Mac and tons of space. There is not that much space. Make sure you use the measurements before you order. For me, this was the exact size I wanted for a little nook behind my couch in the living room. The height is almost perfectly level with the top of my sofa, so it can double as a read coffee table too.

Construction is sturdy, but while it does fold, the table top does have to be popped off to do it. I thought it was a hinged top for some reason and it's not. For the price, cannot beat this.

Habor Instant Read Digital Cooking, Candy Thermometer with Super Long Food Probe for Kitchen BBQ Grill Smoker Meat Oil Milk Yogurt Jam Water Temperature, Standard, Elegant Silver

If you're going to be serving $80 worth of great meat, invest a few bucks to help you determine when it's perfectly done. This thing is right on the mark. Flat out impressive. I show it to people when they come in the house.

I decided to take the plunge on this Habor instant read thermometer after reading many glowing reviews and finding a reliable comparison article which found this model to be as accurate as popular digital food thermometers costing 7 times as much!

Having owned some of the most expensive models and used them in professional kitchens, I wanted something that I could leave out for general use without fear of it becoming damaged or lost.

I have since put the Habor through its paces and it has indeed delivered on the rather bold claims. Comparing to both a traditional analog meat thermometer and my scientific glass thermometer, this Habor has never read more than a single degree different than either of them. That's straight up impressive!

Using the thermometer couldn't be easier. There's a single button for the power on/off and a second button that swaps between degrees F/C (Fahrenheit and Celsius). Accurate readings appear in just 3-5 seconds and the protective pen-clip cover slides on and off the probe easily.

Speaking of the probe, it's the perfect length...nice and long for getting to the center of thick meat cuts, but not too long to become unwieldy during use!

All in all, this thermometer is a fantastic value and I will be purchasing more so that all of my family and friends have an accurate and reliable food thermometer on hand!

Highly recommended!

The Harbor digital thermometer is a necessity for any home cook or chef. Besides baking I also use it for meat, including ham, chicken and turkey. When I prepare warm water to mix yeast for bread recipes, the Harbor thermometer is perfect for quickly checking the temperature so that it's not too hot or cold! Now I bake fabulous breads like my pull-apart cheese garlic bread pictured here. It was a hit at our Christmas dinner table.

When I first received this thermometer it was great! But by the second use it wouldn't stay on then would turn on randomly and was reading incorrectly.
The company contacted me asking about the product so I replied and let them know my issues. They immediately offered to send me a replacement free of charge and I accepted.
The 2nd thermometer is working great! It turns on the the press of the button and instantly begins to read the temperature. I've used it on thick and thinner cuts of meat. I also use it to test liquid temperature and it's awesome.
It's a great size. Not too large to fit in the utensil drawer but also not too small to read thick cuts of meat.
Very pleased with this meat thermometer.

Great - used this for cheesemaking and bread baking

Quick read and seems accurate. Perfect for barbecue so you don't have to cut meat open.

UPDATE: I just knocked off one star. This thermometer is awesome EXCEPT for the fact that the heat from the food has done something to the battery door and it no longer stays closed and the thermometer doesn't work properly unless new tape is applied frequently because it is heat affected too. I think they need to fix this design flaw and make the door so it doesn't melt and warp. Otherwise I love it.

I have always been a bit challenged cooking steaks and burgers on the grill. People have told me multiple "ways" of telling when a steak was "medium" and when to pull the burgers off. Still I ended up with underdone burgers and overcooked steaks.

This takes the mystery out of it and my grilling skills are now complete.

Using this the first time, I cooked pork steaks to perfection. The next time it told me I had left the burgers on too long drinking that "last" beer. LOL.

I highly recommend this. I have bought another as a gift for a friend.

About a half hour after receiving this thermometer, I turned it on and it read the exact temperature as my inside thermometer did which proved to me how accurate this is ! Have used a couple of times now while cooking on the grill and realized that i was overcooking several items, that i was not aware of ! I bought this to get the best temp. for frying donuts ! Will comment when i do !

Pretty quick readings. Based on the level of doneness of the meat when eaten compared to the desired temperature, I believe it must be accurate. Took the guess work out of cooking meat safely. Have been using it for a month and it has been dependable thus far.

I'm sure there are fancier thermometers out there, like the ones that hangs to our pot or have memory functions. But this works in my household. I use it to make candy, yogurt, meat, etc. It's simple and user-friendly. The thermometer itself is longer than my old one, which is great for large stockpots.

BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow- Stops the Head from Falling Forward- Comfortably Supports the Head, Neck and Chin in Any Sitting position. A Patented Product. Adult Size, Black

 I have went through quite a few travel pillows as I travel a lot and I must say that this one tops them all by far. It goes with me everywhere! Not only do I sleep well when I sit for long hours during travel , my chin is in place, I'm not hurting my neck, it's a perfect replacement for my own pillow while I'm away , I just put it on the regular pillow and rest my head on it! And last but not least - a few days ago, I had a knot in my shoulder blade that was shooting pain to my neck, I used this BCOZZY pillow as I would if I were traveling only I was laying down when I went to sleep with the pillow around my neck and the next day, to my huge surprise, my pain was almost completely gone. I am very happy with my new purchase, this is such a great gift! Thank you BCOZZY!

I just returned from a vacation in Trans-Atlantic trip yesterday. So, I had the opportunity to use this pillow on the departure and arrival flights within the last week.
I should acknowledge that I'm the type of person that really can't get comfortable on a plane, nor do I have tons of cash to be able to upgrade to First Class. So, usually I'm tucked away in coach. What usually makes matters worse for me is my wife always takes the window seat so I usually just sit wide awake on plane rides.
Yet, since we were taking a red eye I really needed to sleep. So, I searched several different travel pillows and several reviews. I chose the BCOZZY due mainly to design. I've tried to use the conventional horseshoe pillows, and after awhile my head falls forward and I'll get a stiff neck. What sold me on this one versus others was the it wraps around the whole head nestling your head.
It does take some time getting used to it, and at first, it can feel extremely confining having this thing wrapped around the throat. So, the key for me was wrapping around my neck completely at first, pulling up the head rest to either side, and then reposition the pillow where it doesn't feel constricting. I know that sounds bizarre because you just want to wrap the thing around your head, but this particular travel pillow conforms and twists in several positions...so for me, I had to kind of fall into it, if you will.
I would actually give 4.5 out 5 stars to be honest. I was able to dose off comfortably without getting a stiff neck when I woke. I also didn't find that it pushes your head forward like most other travel pillows I have tried. My only criticism is that if it gets warm on the plane you'll probably sweat with this pillow as it's completely around your head.
I don't know if it is the best travel pillow ever, yet I think it's priced right, and it served its purpose-which was for me to finally sleep on a plane.

My wife has Parkinson's and has trouble holding her head up. We tried other products, but this is the one that gave her the support she needed.

These are really great. I love the way they are thin in the back so that it doesn't bother their neck by pushing it forward with a car seat. One of my girls had to get used to something around her neck. She also is the only one that doesn't even like covers in bed. So if you have a child that doesn't like to feel constricted or confined, it may be bothersome.
At first I was a little shocked by the price but Overall I think it's a really good product and well worth the money.

Finally found something that works! I never understood the fascination with other travel pillows. The only way they worked for me was to turn them around with the opening in the back, but even then, it wasn't quite right. And the ones with the squishy beads inside? No. All the movement of the beads was distracting to me. This one works, for me, in three ways. I've used it a couple times over the last few days just to test it and I'm very pleased with how soft it is, yet supportive. Whether I need to fold it so I can have extra cushion between my head and the side of the bus, or I'm sitting straight up and need my chin supported, or my head is off to the side, there's a way to make this pillow work. It's great that it has a strap that I can snap it on to the side of my carry-on. I read other reviews and studied all the seams carefully and they look fine to me, but I'm sure the BCOZZY people would make it right if you get one that is defective. I am actually looking forward to this bus trip and not having a sore neck when we wake up at Disney World!! By the way, to clarify on color...I have two. One is pink and one is navy. Both are trimmed in a royal blue. Didn't want confusion, as the description says "Pink/Navy" but the blue in the photos is obviously not navy.

We were heading out for a cross-world trip to Thailand from Las Vegas, NV (USA). I have NEVER been able to use a neck pillow, as they were all either too flimsy or just pushed my head forward (5'11" guy). My wife and I were researching different things and she found this. More expensive than some of the others, so of course I resisted, but she won. Glad she did! This was awesome! The way that this wrapped around your neck, with a smaller/thinner design behind your neck and a larger/thicker area in front of your chin, held my head upright perfectly throughout the whole trip. I slept 10 hours straight.

Comments by others are correct -- this can get warm if the airplane is warm and you could sweat, but we had pretty good AC going in the plane. We bought 5 for our whole family (3 late-teen kids, down to 5'3"), and they all loved the pillows. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Until now I haven't found a travel pillow that works. Ordered the BCozzy and received the day I was the leave for a trip to China. This 16 hour flight was sure to test the BCozzy. I wasn't expecting it to work but it was pretty awesome, it gives you neck support and that much needed chin support. Nothing sucks worse that waking up with your head hanging forward with a sore neck. The BCozzy also seems smaller than most bulky travel pillows so I can easily fit in my luggage.

I purchased two of these pillows, along with 2 of the Daydreamer travel pillows, for my family to use on a round-trip flight from the U.S. to Japan (I initially bought one of each pillow, and after trying them out, two of us chose the Bcozzy as our favorite, and the other 2 chose the Daydreamer as their favorite). I personally liked the plushness of this pillow, which allowed me to sleep for 5 hours straight on each flight. I am usually uncomfortable sleeping on planes because I am very petite and the seat headrest hits me at an awkward position, but this pillow really enhanced my comfort! It does, however, take up more space to carry than the Daydreamer pillow because it can't be deflated. So we hung our pillows from our luggage using the attached straps, and one of the straps broke in transit and one pillow was lost since we didn't notice that the strap had broken and the pillow had detached until we were on board the plane. So, while I like the pillow itself I would subtract one star for the somewhat flimsy strap. I would recommend carrying this pillow in your carry-on rather than using the attached strap if you have the space.

Bought this for a flight China (14+ hours). I had flown previously to Ireland and used a regular travel pillow and found it to be hard. This pillow was much better. It had three different positions you could use to find comfort. I found it best when folded in half otherwise it was too thin for me and hard to find a comfortable position. I didn’t sleep much on my flight to China but having a middle seat this pillow helped me have a place to lay my head during the long flight. On the flight home from San Francisco to my home state I slept the entire flight (5 hours) with this pillow. I’ll be using it again for a trip to Scotland. It’s definitely a better alternative to the standard travel pillow.

I must have 2 dozen travel pillows and not one of them has ever held my head in a position so that I could sleep on a plane. But.... this pillow was great. I slept all the way from CA to HI, during the day. I didn't mind it coiled around my nexk.
This is weird, but I have a long neck and I'm tall. The overlap on the pillow is perfect. At first I didn't think it would stay in place, but it does. And the back is not super thick so it's comfy, not counter productive.
I'm super happy with this product. Worth the $$

My photo wasn’t the highest resolution to start with, so I figured it might come out super blurry, but it came out great! I love it. It’s a great memory from a special trip and now it’s in my office where I can look at it every day! Great quality and super fast shipping. Hubby liked it so much he wanted one for his office too :-)

i loved my picture, even though it is displayed incorrectly here. i placed this order not expecting much. the stretch arrived today and i couldnt be more pleased! the picture was not distorted and the print was beautiful. all necessary hanging hardware is included and i have already hung it in a place reserved for the perfection that this product has provided. if you are worried about getting what you paid for, you, too, are going to be impressed.

This is a nice print. Decent quality, not as tight of a stretch as I'd like, and the print is slightly off center. Still a great deal for what I paid. Really nice colors, true to my original photo.

Turned out exactly as I had hoped for a fraction of the price of others. Would highly recommend!

Literally speechless. Ordered the print yesterday and had it delivered this evening. Picture came out beautifully. Would highly recommend, will purchase more.

Rowenta DR8120 X-Cel Powerful Handheld Garment and Fabric Steamer Stainless Steel Heated Soleplate with 2 steam Options, 1600-Watts

Worth the extra money. I was on my second cheap brand steamer which lastedabout 3 months. i decided to bite the bullet and go for the Rowenta. Easy to fill and the extra long cord is a big plus!

I am very satisfied with this handheld steamer. It is not so heavy and is also easy to store on a shelf, which means that I can keep it at the hand, ready for daily use whenever needed. The alternative is to pull out the big steaming iron that I also have (Rowenta DG8520), which can be a hassle and is therefore only done on occasion. This steamer really does heat up and become ready in just 45 seconds. It puts out adequate enough steam for most anything (I was even suprised at first with how much steam that it puts out). The included bonnet is a useful attachement for more delicate fabrics and when you need zero or minimal "spitting". I would not use the bristle brush attachement as it is really too stiff for most fabrics (except suede, perhaps?) and you would risk damaging them.

I wish that instead of a "lock-on" feature (which is not so necessary anyway) it had a "lock-off", to prevent accidental steam triggering. Also, the lock-on is too easy to un-intentionally engage.

Great steamer. Very powerful flow of steam. I had to refill the tank once to completely steam a long linen dress, which is the only disappointment with this steamer. It is heavy. The weight gave me an impression of higher quality. The brush attachment works very well. (I did not use the bonnet.) It is large for a travel steamer, but packed easily along the edge of a big suitcase. It has a very long cord, which was nice in a hotel with limited outlets. It is far superior to my older, small conair travel steamer. The small tank is easy to fill and did not leak. It must be held completely upright for steam to flow. I experienced only a few small sputters of water.

I looked at a lot of steamers & this one was a little more expensive but I went with it & it is worth every penny! I hang things on shower curtain rod & use this & it makes "ironing" so easy... my kids recently went to homecoming & my daughters dress was a wrinkled mess (ordered online) - this steamer worked beautifully! The steam is very powerful, minimal dripping, the only negative I could say is that it is a little heavy , but I'm not the strongest person either. Highly recommend!

Great handheld steamer. Works easily on shirts and suit coats. Water reservoir holds enough for one clothing item if extensive wrinkles, or two items if just straightening out some simple creases. Highly recommend!

I love this steamer! It is so easy to use and works so fast. It’s a life saver when you’re running late and need to unwrinkled a shirt, pants etc.

Would love it even more if the condensation didn't pool and drip on some of the clothes. Very powerful and great tool. Good size and portability too!

I love this thing! I hope I never have to use an iron again! Most of my work clothes are business-professional and my lab coats are cotton. It works well on the different fabrics I’ve tried so far. I do some traveling for work also, and this will fit nicely in my suitcase. I was worried about the small size water reservoir, but I was able to steam 4 shirts before needing to refill it. I’m very pleased with this purchase, I hope it holds up! I did buy the extended warranty for $2 just in case any problems arise, but I don’t think they will. This seems like a well-constructed steamer.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this steamer and I think I made a good decision. It seems well made. One of my favorite things that came with it was something I didn't know I was going to get: a lint brush. I know it's a small thing, but I really love it! I've used the steamer successfully on several clothing items, but my greatest achievement using it was on a large cloth backdrop that seemed to be permanently wrinkled. I'd been looking at it for two years imagining ironing it on the wall... In a few short minutes after breaking out the Rowenta, it was hanging there wrinkle-free. My heart felt light and fluffy! All was well in the world and I KNEW I'd made the BEST choice. Yay!

Excellent. Works as well or better than full size steamers and can take it anywhere. Heats up fast
