Home Premium Rubber Door Stopper - Multi Surface Door Stop Wedge with Heavy Duty Design - Flexible and Non Scratching Door Holder (4 Pack, Brown)

The door stoppers were perfect. I sent them to my daughter, a teacher in AZ. After the FL shooting, I wanted her to have this little bit of added defense should there be a problem with an intruder in her school. Learned that their doors open out into the hallway, and the doorstops would not help. The doorstops are being used by those doors that open in and they are strong and work really well with the heavy school doors. A lesson was learned and your doorstops may never be used for the reason I purchased them (please G-d), but these well constructed items are in a high school in AZ

As you can hopefully see it on the pictures, I needed this product for several doors, one of them having a close to 1 1/4" gap at the bottom when opened. It is a heavy door too so I needed something strong that also does not slide like a piece of hard plastic would.
These doorstops are actually very strong yet somewhat soft so that they do not scratch surfaces. They are larger than the normal stops that I found and therefore (although I was skeptical and bought two for that one door) just one of them holds that heavy door with a closing spring that is on the picture. Since we also have a door mat there it is even easier to keep the door open when we want it.
I hope it helps you chose!
Also the seller sent me an e-mail without me even asking anything, to let me know that there is a lifetime warranty on the product and I just need to e-mail if I am ever dissatisfied with the product in the future. I do not think I will ever need that service but it was surely a nice gesture and excellent customer service that came with this excellent product!

Gotta admit...best doorstops I've ever bought. So far, they've stopped every door dead in it's tracks. Good smell of old fashioned rubber. Remind me of an old Mighty Mouse action figure I had as a kid. And remember...Mighty Mouse stopped those evil alley cat gangsters dead in their tracks too.

They are good standard hard rubber like doorstops. We have what you might call slick simulated wood floors and if you jam right in the door By shoving them a little under the opening of the door at the bottom and pulling the door slightly onto them, they work perfectly. No slide at all. I am very satisfied with my purchase. This is after going to a few stores locally and finding cheap ones that did not work or not finding them at all.

Door stoppers may be old fashioned but they get the job done nicely. I had been using a box with canned drinks inside before, to keep our cat out of my room when I wanted peace. The cat learned to push the door open with that box but not now with the door stoppers.

These are great, just what we needed. Our 10 month old grandson is quite apt to stick his fingers in the opening between the door and the wall, running the risk of getting his fingers crunched even if the door doesn't slam. I was looking for a door stop that would be strong enough to keep him from moving the door at all and these do the trick. The first time he encountered an unmovable door he tried with all his might to push it -- while I held my breath. Sure enough the stop held and he finally gave up. Thanks, these have made things so much easier for us especially when the grandkids are over. Love the white color and particularly love being able to push them in myself firmly enough to stay put, no need to have husband do it!

Update (10 Sep 2017):

My original review was 5 stars, and I still believe these are good quality and work very well. However, my experience with the white color is that they quickly start turning yellow. Almost any white or near white color plastic will yellow over time, presumably from UV exposure, but these took very little time to start turning and become a bit ugly looking. The good news: I contacted the vendor who agreed to immediately ship out an equal number of brown door stoppers. I received those in less than a week. As they are a darker color, UV exposure will have a much less obvious affect on them. We'll see how they hold up. Bottom line: I'm still a fan of these, but not a fan of the white color. Dimensions and composition are still very positive features, and clearly customer service is very responsive.

Original Review:

I tried a few different door stops before coming across these, and for me these have an ideal combination of toughness, flexibility and height. We have under-door gaps ranging from 1/2" (most interior doors) to about an inch (deck and balcony doors), and these fit perfectly in this range (they'll actually work with doors having clearances of from about 3/8" to about 1-1/8"). We have floors covered with different types/textures of tile, hardwood and one room with carpet, and these stops work great on every surface. The rubber composition prefers smooth surfaces, but it's flexible enough to work fine with the more textured surfaces of some tiles by simply pre-loading it a bit... meaning, place your foot in front of the stop and gently pull the door toward you to ride the door a little ways up the stop to compress it a little. If you do this, I can't imagine any surface that this stop would not work on. It's also nice to have these stops come in both an off-white and a brown color. We are using white on our darker floors so the stops can be more easily found in dim light at night.

How well the rubber composition holds up over time is an unknown since I've had them for only a short while, so there's no way to know if they will become more brittle over time. But my guess is they'll be fine for years, and for now they work at least as well as any I've tried and they cost less than $3 each which is a good deal, Highly recommended.

Bought these for my high schoolers and teacher friends to carry for an emergency of an active shooter at school. These are heavy duty and I believe would work very well for keeping the door closed if needed, or open what ever you need it for. My reason to buy them is probably different than yours, but wanted a simple solution to help protect my children in case of an emergency. Also a client of mine after I shared this tip, bought some to take on her travels to ensure her safety as well as many other of my friends to keep in their kid's backpacks. Great buy, great quality!

The doorstops appear to be we'll made and seem like they will last. Received an (unsolicited) email from the company wanting to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase before I even received the item. The email even said that if I was not happy with the doorstops, I could keep them and I'd still be given a refund. I appreciate good customer service, especially these days when many don't stand behind their product after the purchase. I didn't pay attention to the fact that these only fill a gap of approx 1 1/2" or less. One of my interior doors has a larger gap than that so I just inverted 2 of the stoppers, stacking them on top of each other, to make it work.. and it does. The only minor issue I have is, I ordered a set of dark brown stoppers (and in the picture they look dark brown). But when mine came they appear to be more of a reddish brown. Just doesn't match the color scheme as well but I'm happy with the quality of the product.

These doorstops are probably fine for most doors, but for the commercial doors in my residence hall, these are a bit flimsy and tend to slide.

EDIT: A month later, these door stops have inexplicably become better, Although they still deform somewhat under pressure, they also seem to stick to the floor better, and one doorstop is now enough to hold open my door. I wonder if the doorstops were still slippery/oily from the factory, and got stickier after they finished outgassing? Either way, I take back my earlier criticism, these are fine doorstops. Just be aware you might have to wash or age them a little to get them to work properly. Also, kudos to the seller for excellent customer service: if they hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have thought to update this review.

[Upgraded] AMIR Solar Powered String Lights, 100 LED Copper Wire Lights, Fairy Lights, Indoor/ Outdoor Waterproof Solar Decoration Lights for Gardens, Home, Dancing, Party, Christmas (Warm White)

Fantastic for what I needed. I was looking for a solar powered light source to give low lighting in my chicken coop. Some of my birds are procrastinators and stay out till dark (or sometimes later). They then have trouble finding the roosts and empty spots when they do locate them. The lights on the string are very small and since it is attached to a wire it was super easy to string the lights around the top of the coop. When clicked to On/Steady the lights will turn on once it gets dark enough outside.

I haven't had any birds peck the lights and they don't seem overly curious about them which is good. I do not believe the lights give off enough light to provide supplemental light for winter laying, but if my birds do proceed to lay this winter I will update this review so the information is available for anyone who is interested. I suspect they would need more and stronger light though. I added some pictures to give an idea of how much light they provide in the coop.

Works well. I bought a string in the fall from another seller, and they were nice , but this spring, they would only blink, and water had got inside, so I bought 3 strings of these, and dried out my other strand. All are woking perfectly. I prefer the Amir Solar Powered because they have a nicer, single pushbutton operation. So far, heavy rains and no problems!

I ordered a string of these lights and liked them so much that I ordered about 8 more!

CONS:
The only problem experienced thus far: One string didn't work at all. Like many of you, I find it too frustrating to return things, so I just tossed them. Assume about 1 in 10 strings won't work and you'll either need to return them or toss them.

PROS:
* The copper wire makes it easy to wrap these around anything (vertical posts, trees, deck railings, etc).
* Solar power means no fuss with running power to these. Just make sure that the solar panel has access to the sun. Our back yard has a lot of shade, so the panels probably get direct sun about 2 hours of the day (in the summer), so far these lights burn for at least a few hours after sundown.
* The LED lights themselves are tiny (they look like water drops on the copper wire). Some may say that is a con, others may say it is a pro. They're certainly not big enough to provide more than "mood" lighting, but that is great for our outdoor patio setting.

lovely ethereal look... they are easy to affix to tree or shrubbery limbs, due to the nature of the copper wire, easy to handle and position... I bought two sets, put one in my dogwood tree next to the patio.. gave the other one to my son in law.. now, I have bought 3 or 4 more sets.. i'm moving to a new home, and cannot wait to add them to the new lawn design/decor... it has to be totally overcast, most all day long, before you don't get any lights at all for the evening. the number of hours of sun that the sensor gets during the day seems to determine how long they last of a night.. sometimes until around midnight, other times all night long.. til the sun starts to show. they are not meant to illuminate an area, I don't think.. I have been very satisfied with them. so pretty.

I'm very impressed. They stay lit all night adding a perfect glow. I was able to hide the solar panel nicely too. I'll be getting plenty more I'm sure. They are my perfect solution for gentle outdoor lighting. The price is great too. I hope they are durable I'll like to place them in several places in the front and backyard. My picture does not do them justice.

The solar light string has been "as advertised" for me. I purchased this string of solar lights to place outside in front of my house where I recently did some landscaping. I placed the lights on the backside of some small block which lines an area I filled in with rock around some plants. The light comes on every evening and illuminates relatively faintly behind the block to glow on the rocks and plants. The only complaint I have with this string of lights is I wish I would have searched a little longer and purchased "bright white", but that's my own fault. I discussed that with the company and they took my suggestion into consideration, perhaps they'll produce both in the future!

Would give this product a better review but it was not connected well. No amount of sun would make a defective product work. Returned one of two. The other is working as advertised. I would give this product a 5 star review but they need to do better QC.

Review update!: I received a reply from the manufacturer apologizing for the defective product mentioned in the original review. I was very impressed. I had returned the defective string and purchased another. I am happy to report both strings of solar lights wrapped around our old wisteria plant that covers a pergola on our patio are bringing a lot of enjoyment.

We live in an area where fires aren't always possible so we made a safe warm glowing fire (light) we can enjoy all year long.

We placed it ruffled up in our chiminea to mimic a warm glowing fire. It's placed on the slow fade mode so it slowly fades in and out.

Prior to placing it, I sprayed a coat of UV protectant and let soak in 2 days in the sun (charging it too). After 2 days I patted it dry, placed it in a box. In a vented area i hosed (sprayed) with a clear coat lacquer to help protect it from the weather and sun (AZ). I applied 2 more coats, ruffled the light string up and placed it in the pit with the panel on the top ledge. It looks great and homey feeling.

The lights as to be expected, thin wiring followed by tiny leds. Its fragile to say the least but as good as I've seen any where. The panel has a 1 1/2ft lead to the 1st led. The panel is nice sized and build nicely compared to some. Obviously took off the spike but it was lightweight.

1 more would be nice but it's an expensive pet project just for a little more oh and aw

Nice set up, enjoy your project

After fully charging the battery in full daylight, I loved the effect of these lights when placed in a big glass gazing ball set in our yard. It lasted about 4 hours on the first night. The second night, it only lasted about an hour. Replaced the battery and put it into a spot with more direct sunlight. Same thing -- it only lasted about an hour or two. Unfortunately, it appears that the solar panel used is a low-output one that can't fully charge the battery unless placed in direct sunlight for 8 hours or more. As ours is placed where it only gets about 3 hours of direct sunlight and 5-to-6 hours of indirect sunlight, the lights only work for an hour or so at best.

Update (8/2/18): Added one star for customer service that offered a full refund as I was not fully satisfied. It's terrific that they stand behind their products like that. As it is, with the understanding that the solar panel needs full daylight to charge the battery, I will probably wire an extension line from the lights to the solar panel -- where it will be placed in full daylight. If the company ever updates the solar panel technology to charge the battery better in low light, I will buy and test again.

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for your note. Your springing into action less than 24 hours after my feedback was made is impressive.

It is clear that you care about your customers as well as the quality of the products you represent. That is the secret for success in any business and clearly you have your customers best interests at heart. Very enchanting.

I welcome your offer for credit. Those solar lights are wraped around our palm trees at the front driveway and those in the backyard. Removing them is a hassle I did not want to deal with.

Your attitude showing that you stand behind what you sell is what made Amazon the entity it is today. You have demonstrated the same spirit, nack and desire for success. We command you and will remember you going forward. Thanks again and best wishes.

We will return and look you up.

Rubbermaid RM-P2 2-Step Molded Plastic Stool with Non-Slip Step Treads 300-Pound Capacity

GREAT for mounting my horse!!! I purchased this because I needed a 2nd mounting block at our barn, but didn't want to pay the $60 plus cost of the typical heavy plastic horse mounting blocks. In fact, this is more stable than my other two-step mounting block that was specifically designed for use with horses. The four feet give it a more stable base in our sandy soil here in Florida. It is only slightly lower than my other mounting block, but that doesn't matter because it is definitely tall enough to make mounting my TWH gelding easy, and works for all the other ladies who ride at our barn. I also love it because it is much lighter weight than our other mounting block, so I can easily carry it out into the training pen, or the arena, and use it where I really need it. I did look to see if I could find it for less at Home Depot, but they have stopped carrying this stool, and didn't have anything that I thought would be as safe to use. It works great, and I saved lots of money by buying it instead of the very expensive mounting blocks available for horse enthusiasts.

when you are younger you never think about falling from a foot or two off the ground. when you have someone you care about who is older and has difficulty getting to things or with balance then something like this is a must. our mom was using this old metal foot stool before. the legs kept getting lose and it was not safe. the thought of one fall and her being hurt, the medical bills. getting something like this is such a small price to pay for peace of mind.

this is in my view industrial grade. it is a one piece molded stool, rock solid. due to the design it is absolutely stable. it won't slide or move when she is on it. it won't ever bend or have legs that get loose. i have no doubt it will last decades.

if needing a step stool this is the best!

I had an earlier model that wasn't weight rated. It eventually started developing cracks that destabilized it and I had to stand on the outside edges of the top step to prevent more cracking. As you can imagine I was always somewhat fearful that as I transferred my weight from the first to the second step the stool would tip. I finally decided I needed a new one. I researched for a long time to find one that would be easily moved around the kitchen & was the right height. I finally chose this one and am so glad! This one is wider than my old one and each step is deeper. The material is heavier and the base has rubber tips to prevent sliding. There is a handle on each side making it easy to pick up and move. Overall it feels sturdier and safer. Glad I found it.

Sturdy construction, relatively light, Does what it says, The three yr old is able to move it himself and climb on all kinds of places.

Better price at the Home Depot. After buying it here, I found it at the Home Depot for 10 bux. Check it out there before ordering it here.

This is the BEST stepping stool I could find for my 2 year old toddler. I wish I bought it a year ago! It allows him to be much more independent. No other stools were tall enough and stable enough for him to reach the sink. It's not the best looking stool, but it's better than the only other kind of stool that would do the job (the kind with side rails and those are just so big and annoying to get around as a parent). My son can now wash his hands and face without my help and practice brushing his teeth by himself. I just ORDERED ANOTHER ONE and can't wait to put it in our bathroom upstairs!

The only complaint I have is that I wish it came in other colors and that the sticker on the front of it was super annoying to get off.

We have a strange attic entrance.. It is off of the finished room over the garage and from the floor to the bottom of the half door it is 2 feet. We were just climbing in and jumping down, but after years, our knees didn't like it any more. This step was the perfect answer. It is perfectly flat on the back, so it butts up against the wall nicely, and with the steps not as high, it is very comfortable for climbing in and out. No injury and it is a great quality product. HIGHLY recommended

A bit wobbly. I had to place something under one side so it was sturdy to stand on. It is tall though, and my kids can reach the sink with it! It is nice looking and doesn't take up too much space.

This is an excellent, quality step stool. I like it so much that I decided to write this review about it close to 4 years after I bought it here on Amazon. I always used a Rubbermaid step stool, but it was a smaller one that worked fine for the height of the shelves we had at the time. We moved to a place that has unreasonably high shelves, and this stool is the perfect solution. It's kind of big, which means that small children can sit on it. We keep it in the kitchen in a convenient place, and small kids tend to naturally use it as a seat. It is also very sturdy and I think it's especially safe to use. 300 pound capacity is exactly what I would guess, just as described. I would recommend this without reservation to anyone needing a step stool to reach high shelves, or when cleaning the back of a huge refrigerator!

This is worth every penny. My daughter is 3 years old, but very short for her age. She wants to do things, like wash her hands, independently, but she couldn’t reach the sink with regular kids sized stools. This stool is HUGE and it works great for her. It’s wide and sturdy. She loves it and it’s a quality product.

Love this stool. It is rather large and in the way all the time, but even my 20mo old can drag it around just fine especially with the carved handles in the side. I really don't mind it's size since the alternative is a toddler screaming for help with washing hands or running around with dirty hands. It's a perfect height for my bathroom sink so that my 3yo can wash her hands without calling for mommy's help. It sits close enough that I am not fearful of anyone falling due to a gap, and it is sturdy and wide enough for both of my girls to stand on. (except for the pushing and shoving due to such close quarters) I definately would recommend this stool to anyone with little who need to reach the sink!

SparkPod Shower Head - High Pressure Rain - Luxury Modern Chrome Look - Easy Tool Free Installation - The Perfect Adjustable & Heavy Duty Universal Replacement For Your Bathroom Shower Heads

I received the item yesterday, 24-12-2018. What attracted me to the product was their tool-free installation. I am not handy person; thus, I was wary about installing it myself and not calling a plumber.

I decided to give it a go myself this morning, 25-12-2018 and it was as advertised. It is a tool-free installation. I unscrewed the shower head I was using, followed the instruction in the guide supplied, screwed in the "Sparkpod".

Though I neither installed the restrictor, because for me, there is no such thing like too much pressure, nor did I use the teflon tape supplied: I did not need it. The Sparkpod shower head was screwed tight enough for it not to warrant it, there was no leak when I screwed it on without the tape.

The shower pressure is far better than the than the one I removed. I can say for sure, It worked as advertised and it was an easy tool-free installation and for a 'non-handy person' like me, it was the product for me.

Want to be drenched in your shower? Want to rinse off with ease? Get this shower head. Previously I bought a $35 delta shower head and it was a joke. Half the jets, twice the diameter making it feel like you have to aim for a few streams and hope you rinse off. This shower head lets out a column of water and it is perfect. Install is just like any normal shower head, but I would suggest getting an extending arm with it for the best experience.
I didn’t use the restrictor that comes with it so I can’t say how it works with that in place.

This is a very nice shower head. It was easy to install, only requiring a crescent wrench. The "rain" design allows the water to cover more area as opposed to the small somewhat direct stream I had before. The high pressure rainfall also helps to rinse hair more thoroughly which is a must. The design is nice, it looks good in the shower and I am enjoying this purchase.

 I was pleasantly surprised when this new shower head arrived at my home. The previous unit was functional but had such a small stream that it made showering in our upstairs bathroom less-than-desirable. Now that we've received this one, it actually is better than our downstairs shower due to the increased pressure. I love the fact that the pressure regulator is optional on this unit, it really makes a vast difference.

The only complaint I have is the lousy teflon tape which was included in the package... it came off in strips that resembled floss with the texture of chewed bubble gum. With that being said, although unorthodox, I actually was able to use the tape just not as simply as I would have liked. If I had another roll, I would have used it instead.

Tool-less installation lived up to its promise and the head was leak free on the first attempt (if you've installed more than a couple of shower heads, you likely know this is pretty exciting). Interesting note: the packaging suggests using a bar of soap on the threads prior to installation, whether this is the reason there were no leaks or not, I cannot say with certainty. It was an easy 'trick' and I'll be using it in the future, I've never thought of it, but this makes perfect sense for helping stop any minor leaks.

The box also includes a shower pouf which didn't thrill me, but my five year old daughter was impressed with the surprise find. The packaging mentions that "your" purchase helps to provide for clean drinking water for others around the world, I didn't fact check this, but if taken at face value then that is a nice bonus by offering some social benefit to an already satisfying purchase. I find it odd that this is left out of the online description as I think this is a pretty cool selling point.

All in all, I am much happier with this new shower head for our upstairs. We'll likely not replace the downstairs head only because that one includes a detachable head, however, if we had more bathrooms to install for I would not hesitate to purchase another of these rain heads.

Pros:
Looks nice and feels durable
Amazing water pressure (subjective, I know... check out my video to see for yourself - impressive performance)
Affordability
Social good

Cons:
Plastic (ABS) construction rather than metal, still sturdy, but still plastic : /
Shower pouf is purple... a neutral color might go over better for some purchasers (like myself)
The teflon tape is a joke

I researched so many different shower heads before buying this one. I thought about purchasing several different $100+ models because I'm getting tired of poorly made products that don't last. I decided to give this much cheaper, yet still highly recommended product a shot.

I've only had this shower head a short while, so I can't speak on it's durability yet. It feels solid, it has few moving parts, and it is super easy to clean and install so I'm optimistic. I ordered an extension to go with this, but when I received my order from Amazon, I had a coupon from SparkPod for a free extension included in the packaging - bonus!

The shower head moves around quite freely, but stays where you put it. I'll have to test the pressure without the restrictor (because I can, and it's an easy process), but even with it in there is plenty of pressure for anyone. Very nice shower head for the money.

We had a shower head similar to this but had to replace it a few weeks ago, it was very old and just gave out. My husband got one (great brand) at local store that had all those different settings. We just left it on the one that put out the most water, but we just didn't like it, so I went hunting on Amazon and selected this shower head. It is wonderful, I can finally feel rinsed off of all the soap, etc. Granny is happy again, and down south if Granny's not happy, no one is, ha. Oh, it was easy for my husband to install, sorry I can't send a picture. We already had a longer pipe and he just connected it to that. Going to get another to have on hand.

I was a bit skeptical about this shower head, due to my low water pressure. I couldn't see how going to a bigger shower head, would actually help my low water pressure. I received the shower head, and installed it, now it comes with these little restrictors you choose to use or not. I opted to not use them, again due to my low water pressure. After having used it for a few weeks now, I am thinking about installing the little red restrictors...…. :o)
So far so good.

This is the best shower head I have ever bought. I have low water pressure and have been through many different ones.
This shower head somehow really increased the pressure! It really is great!
I would definitely buy again.

We love this showerhead! Easily adjustable to aim the water in a different direction (which is great for us short women who need to stand on our tippy toes to adjust it). Really sharp looking and spreads out the water nicely...very happy with this purchase :)

This shower head is a genuine product. It has a great pressure in an all around general area. I installed this in about 5 minutes. The instructions come in the same package you will read them and shake your head and put them down after about 2 seconds it's basic stuff any person who has no prior knowledge can do. That said I took my first shower and felt so much better afterwards because we had a shower head with low pressure. If your thinking of buying a 100 dollar or more shower head just don't and buy this instead. You won't regret it.

Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags - Lavender & Sweet Vanilla, 13 Gallon, 80 Count

These are great kitchen bags. They're quite strong and grab the edge of the can well. The pull straps can be wrapped back around the throat of the bag giving it a good seal to keep odors in. We've used several of the scents such as apple and citrus but always return to the Lavender & Sweet Vanilla variety because that scent is the most potent, not overpowering but strong enough to mask most odors. The Lavender & Sweet Vanilla also seems to last much longer than the other scents. Best trash bag I've found and the large quantity club pack is a bargain.

Well..... I guess review this as a multipurpose item. I bought this gumbo pack because 1. They make great trash bags for the kitchen string , sturdy and eliminates odors. 2. I’m in the process of moving and I’ve used these move things , work pretty good for small things like shirts and pillow cases but for large stuff like blankets and pillows and large items such as large load of clothes I have to double the bags so they don’t rip. But overall it’s an amazing product , will but again !

Was super excited (mid 30s kinda excitement over scented garbage bags) to get these. I liked that they are scented because wow what a cool idea. We've used these for around a year now and will continue to use them but occasionally the smell can be a bit much. Like for example, if you had a bit of a bender and wake up the next morning to digiorno and beer garbage and that smell mingles with the lavender- not that great. But they're of course durable and typically the scent is pleasant.:)

We used to get this scent in regular tall kitchen bags but in the last year or two those have become harder to find in comparison to the Ultra Strong variety. The Ultra bags seem to be a little narrower at the top and thus harder to get onto our kitchen can and living room box. When I first bought the Ultra Strong bags I did limited tests to compare the two and to me there wasn't much of a difference. I've had a garbage bag leak maybe three times in the last couple decades. We don't over stuff the bags, we're both disabled so we keep things as light as possible. We've stuck with the Ultra bags simply because the scent is very pleasant.

Our household is a long time fan of Hefty. My wife and I used Glad a few boxes ago as they were cheaper per bag at the time. After one bag, we regretted saving a few pennies per bag! These Hefty bags hold up much better than the competition.

Best yet! Althought everything I buy for deorderizing & cleansing the home usually heavily latented with PEPPERMINT LAVENDER LEMON TEA TREE PATCHOULI ALONG THOSE LINES. AND THE BAG WAS AVAILABE IN A FEW OF THOSE CHOICES I went with this one 2 good sized rolls of 40 very sturdy bag ... nice

We had been using Glad and we made the switch to Hefty. These are doing the same job as our previous brand. I'm knocking one star off my review because the scent is a bit misleading- it says that it is lavender vanilla, but all you smell is vanilla. I'm not fond of vanilla and wouldn't have chosen this scent if I knew there really wasn't a lavender scent to balance it out. But I can live with it until we use these up.
These are just as strong and stretch as our Glads, so you can buy with confidence.

Add Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags to your Amazon “Subscribe & Save” Account. The name says it all. A bonus is the pleasant scent these emit. By using these Hefty Ultra Strong Trash Bags I very seldom have to scrub the trash can itself bc there is usually nothing that escapes these trash bags. It me, that truly says it all.

The Hefty Ultra Strong Trash Bags are great for holding garbage, clothes for donation even Christmas wreaths! They don't normally leak, and sometimes I smell foul things even though they are scented.

These bags are a little lower quality than the biggest name competitor brand. But for the lower price, perfect for me.
After its going into the garbage! Zero issues with breaking, but then again the can we put it in is smaller than the bag, so when we pull it cant be too over-filled.

Great option!

AquaDance 7" Premium High Pressure 3-Way Rainfall Combo for The Best of Both Worlds-Enjoy Luxurious Rain Showerhead and 6-Setting Hand Held Shower Separately or Together - Chrome Finish - 3328

I read a lot of reviews of products before I buy things, but I'm not usually one to do reviews. This product however deserves a glowing recommendation. I have tried 3 or 4 different rain shower heads over the last few years and they've been ok, but nothing super standout. This product however is pretty amazing and I'll try to share why.
1) The water pressure in the main head is good. It isn't incredible, but it makes the rain and mist settings feel exactly how they should. They provide enough pressure to really feel clean after soaping up, but not so much that you want to get out. The power setting is really nice if you have a lot of hair to rinse.
2) The hand held unit has about 1.5-2x the pressure of the main unit, so if you really need a "hard" shower it is perfect for that.
3) The unit changes from setting to setting very easily, compared to other units I've tried. It looks and feels very high quality, even though it is plastic.
4) Both heads have a "pause" function, so If I want to take a few minutes to really soap up I can.
5) Install is super easy, it was tool free and I only had one very easily fixed leaking connection.
6) The main showerhead can mount on an extender arm, which I did. So I have a luxurious rainfall coming from direction above, while the hand held is up against the wall.
7) Lifetime warrenty, in case of any issues.

The only negative I could see is the length of the shower hose for the handheld, its about 4.5-5 feet long, which for me is ok as I'm 6'4, but I think it could be on the short side if you're shorter than I am. If any negatives come up, I'll be sure to update this review.

Just got this today and hooked it up. Took maybe 30 minutes tops. I'm definitely no plumber but I took some steal wool and scraped off the shower pipes tape and whatever corrosion I could find on it. I took the tape they included in the box and went around the threads 3 times clockwise then I followed the box instructions. For me the lock nut they had worked and I have no leaks so far. I did buy the extender and installed that as well. If my pipe wasn't so low I'd go without because now it's at an angle that blocks the handheld. I'm currently waiting on one of those suction shower holders to correct this. I also removed the flow regulator. I took my first shower with it today and while not blown away by the pressure I was very happy with it. In dual mode the main head has about as much pressure as my old shower to give an idea. I was hoping for a pins and needles pressure like at my parents but didn't quite get that, I'm pretty sure they just have better pressure to their house period. The mist and shower mode with just the head on will get you really close though. All around very happy with this purchase especially since I don't have to freeze now when taking a shower with my gf :)

One thing to note from the pictures is it looks like it might be leaking in some of the different mode but it is not. It drips water from the old mode after switching for ~5-10 seconds. Will definitely be updating this review if I run into any problems.

Bought 2 of these based on the great reviews to replace quite old existing shower heads. The AquaDance shower heads look so nice its hard to believe they are plastic. They are smooth, so no grime buildup in all the grooves. The lever to move between the water settings is awesome! Smooth easy movement with 2 fingers which clicks into place so you don't end up half way between settings and fiddling with the shower head with both soapy hands while spraying water everywhere. The water nozzles are rubberized and not recessed, so they too won't build up mildew and are easy to clean. The shower heads come with the fancy stainless steel hoses which cost $10-$12 separately, plus the handle mount. We didn't need them (yet), and the new heads attached with ease to the existing hoses and sit in the existing mounts. Could not be happier with a great product at a great price!

Fast shipping, nice packaging, easy installation and works great! Super, super easy to install. I used washers and plumbers tape (which is included God love em) and not one leak. If your existing connector threads have build-up, clean them with a Brillo pad (steel wool). Do not use tools to install...just hand tighten. To remove the water regulator..turn the handle upside down..remove the following; white ring, metal square and finally, using needle-nose pliers or a small screwdriver, pop the final grey restrictor out. Love the different settings. You can adjust the shower head in the holder, there is a ball joint..just remember that part is plastic..easy fella. Wait until it's installed before you try to adjust the ball joint. The hose feels very buttery in movement, I was worried it would be in the way but it's not at all.
Makes cleaning the shower and especially washing my dogs a breeze.
Love, love this shower head!

Update! Went to use and the hose was leaking everywhere. An exchange is not available for this product. Amazon waived the 1-day shipping fee and I had a brand new product in my hand the very next day. The return was simple too! The manufacturer was also going to ship a replacement hose overnight, awesome service. I love that I didn't have to go anywhere, just a call to Amazon. I still LOVE the product! I would buy it again!

This is a very nice product but I did have a problem with the first shipment in that the rain shower head was defective (loose insert). I called interlink and when I didn't hear from them for over a week, I tried writing an email. The company was very responsive but I ended up getting two replacements even though I advised the second person I spoke to that there was already one in the pipeline. Oh well, not that big a deal. I did find that I had to use the adhesive disk because the suction cup would not adhere to my marble shower wall (seam ended up in the wrong place). If you have a rough or seamed shower wall you'll probably have to use the disk as well. I recommend trimming it a little before installation as the excess white disk is a tiny bit of an eyesore. I'll attach a photo so you can see what I mean.

So, it looks good and works well. It's controllable from the lower end of the assembly which one of the reasons I chose it as my plumber put the nipple too high for my wife to reach comfortably.

The shower head is great just like everyone says. I did not use the handheld b/c I bought a special filtered one to wash my hair with. Lots of people say in the reviews not to over-tighten but like a fool, I did! And BAM! I broke the diverter piece that holds the shower heads, so I had to order a new one and they aren't very cheap. Once I got it operating, it's been great. I also bought an extension arm so that the shower head flows down on me instead of at me and makes it easy to step in and out of the stream. Love the settings but I'm pretty boring and keep the main head on a typical shower setting but I use different settings on the handheld depending on what I'm doing (like washing my hair normally versus washing dye out of my hair versus shaving, etc).

I used to own a 2011 waterpik shower head with 3GPM before the further EPA restriction on GPM, and I wanted something coming close to it amd found this Aquadancs model. The water pressure rated at 2.5GPM didn't come close to what I had with my waterpik. So i decided to remove the small white flow reducer and lo behold, I got way better water pressure, not quite as good as my old one but 80% there which was plenty enough. The next issue I had was that the bracket holder was too short and made my showr head hang up too high without enough inclination angle to set my showerhead flowing water straight down to the tub like a waterfall. So i bought another longer bracket and ended up very happy with my setup. So if you don't mind a couple tweaks to this shower head, you will be a satisfied customer.

Attractive and functional shower head. Primary purpose of a shower head is to deliver water for showering and it does it's job flawlessly. In this instance I let my kids pick out a shower head to replace the unit in their bathroom. My only guideline was that it needed to be reasonably priced and not requiring a plumber for install.

Construction - Metal/plastic. Chromed plastic & metal finish on head and hose. Dark grey plastic water nozzles. Threading is metallic. Construction is solid. Post install there were no leaks within the hose or head.

Function - I suppose effectively there are six settings however 3 seem to be primary from a harder blast to a more rainfall type flow to a mist. Kids setting is more toward the softer rainfall type flow. Water delivery is excellent it's high pressure aka 'not restricted'. Good.

Installation - A snap. 5 minutes part of which was removing the old shower head. They even included Teflon tape!

High marks from the kids and from parents! Great buy.

I love it! It was super easy to install, only taking about 15 minutes. It is easy to change between water settings and to switch between shower heads. I love having the option of using both heads at once.

I got the Slide Bar Combo version for the specific reason that the diverter handle is located at the bottom of the slide bar, rather then at the top. I didn't want or need the hand-held shower but when the misses wants... Anyways, I decided to prevent a large headache and looked for the fixed + handheld showers that wouldn't place the knob six feet up and behind the spray of water. This one does the trick, and the diverter handle is an easy turn.

Downside One? Water pressure at the upper fixed shower head is down, which is expected sadly. I've removed the regulator, but the extra piping the water has to go through lowers the pressure. Instead of the 7" Round one included, I'm using my old Shower head on its Shower Arm to get it above 6' so I can stand under it still (5.5" by 10" Oval fixed shower with good pressure and coverage and doesn't spray the sides of the bath). The post-installation pressure from the fixed shower head was about 2/3 of what it used to be, and I have to use the switch on my shower head to get the pressure I could get before with its massage setting. Admittedly, my fixed shower head is acting more like the Rain Shower its supposed to be rather then a large Massage setting shower head. End result, I'll miss my old setup but the end result of pressure is workable even if I need to use the massage setting to get the shampoo out of my hair fast.

Downside Two? The 3-way Diverter is may as well be a 2-way. There isn't enough pressure in the system to actually make use of both sprayers to be effective. Though that tends to be the case with any system that tries to use both a hand-held shower and a fixed shower at the same time.

Now the Good sides for why this still gets a 5-star review in spite of those two downsides?

1) Diverter Handle is in easy reach. Its at the bottom of the Slide Bar and turns easily when the water is on. Its not "hidden" over five and a half feet up behind the sprays of water.

2) The hand-held hose is flexible rather then stiff, and doesn't stick out at odd angles to get in the way and lays flat against the wall easily. Considering I have to stand close to the front of the shower to get under my fixed shower head, I am glad I'm not getting touched by it unexpectedly while showering.

3) Hand-held shower is nice. She who shall not be mentioned likes it. I'm not big on it myself, though. Maybe it will come in handy for cleaning the shower and maybe I'll grow on its power spray and massage settings one day. In the end, its not really meant for me.

4) Installation is easy. Removed the flow regulator and installed in under 10 minutes. You know its easy when you get comments of why are you napping instead of installing the thing after you finish.

Now comes the durability, but all one can do on that is wait.

Brightown 50Foot G40 Globe Outdoor Patio String Lights UL Listed for Indoor / Outdoor Decor, Black

Packaged great and perfect night time glow. All bulbs worked. Connected another 50 foot length to the female end connector for a total of 100 feet. Note that the 100 foot length sold by the same seller doesn't come with a female plug at the end.

We ordered these for a birthday and they arrived just in time. The bulbs came in 2 seperate boxes, and it was quick to screw them into the string. Be careful not to pop any of the globe bulbs. One popped on the grass when we were stringing up the lights. They send 1 replacement bulb so it worked out fine. Very happy with the end result. We bought Shepard hooks to hang them.

I love my Brightown outdoor lights. They are perfect for my patio garden as you can see in the photo. I love the clear bulbs which give them a vintage look. The wires are sturdy and worked well to criss-cross them over the space. I had an issue with the bulbs and Brightown resolved it with immediate bulb replacement. Highly recommend these great lights!

I bought these to decorate the back yard for a party, they were really great and I still have them up. They really look nice compared to the little lights you see most people use. Make sure to get the 50 footers and the directions said not to hook up more than two sections at a time. One thing is you have to screwing each of the 50 bulbs. There is probably no other way to package and ship this product, but that added some time on the installation.

These lights were perfect! I ordered them for an outside engagement party. It was in rural Texas where the moon is the only light. They were so bright and beautiful. I got so many compliments on how "fancy" everything looked. I ordered 10 sets for a 20"x40" tent. I only needed 3 of them! They are not made to be linked together in multiple sets. I was only able to link 2 at a time. I blew out the fuses in a couple of them when I tried to link more. The good thing is that the fuses can be replaced and the inlet head tells you which kind of fuses the strings use. I would recommend ordering extra bulbs and fuses, just in case.

These lights are well made and they go a long way! Fit perfectly on my back porch.

I love these lights! They are strong and last a long time. I just bought a second set to extend the lights out further.

Love these! Added 25 foot to 50 foot string and VOILA! Only advice, busy extra bulbs. Like any bulbs you'll break one on install and need more down the road anyhow. I busted one on the ladder and popped a new one in.

I got these to help illuminate our patio, which is behind the garage and has poor lighting. We set these up below a shade sail, and when we turned them on, they lit up the patio and were just lovely. I'm trying to figure out how to rig up more of these lights, to illuminate our yard at night!

These were well-packaged, no missing/damaged bulbs and the cord is sturdy and well-made.

These lights made our backyard come alive! They are the perfect size and brightness to give our backyard a wonderful inviting vibe. The bulbs aren't extremely delicate (they feel like plastic glass if that makes sense) so they aren't as delicate as other bulbs which is great. These lights do have some weight to them so if you are building an extension to your fence (like we had to do) make sure to get a strong material. We used 1 in x 6 ft wooden planks but due to the weight they started to bend inwards so we have to change the posts to something stronger. The only downside, besides the weight if you consider that a bad thing, is that if you buy two strands you can't connect them together. They only have a male end but no female end on the other side so we had to stretch an extension cord to the middle of our lawn to connect them both to an outlet. Other than that, these are perfect!

Craftsman 9-17816 General Purpose Red Stripe Vacuum Cartridge Filter, 8.5 Inches - White/Red

The package did match up with the model number of my vac and it did not fit on my vac. But with a little creative ingenuity, I cut the threads off the bottom of the filter and batta boom it works like new. With the threads on the nut wouldn't thread on.

2015: Ordered this 17816 filter for my old red 9 gallon Sears Craftsman Model 113.xxx shop vacuum. It is good quality and fits perfectly. Comes in an official Craftsman box with a plastic cap-nut. It measures 6 3/4" outside diameter x 7 3/4' tall and the bottom is wide open (no bottom cover plate). Mine goes over a 4" diameter x 7" tall plastic cage with a plastic 1" long stud on top with a 7/16"-ish thread. Push it down over the cage to seat it and then spin the plastic cap-nut on. I'd suggest looking in that cage first to remove any debris caught in there - you can try and pick any debris out through the cage slots or just pop the whole cage off with some effort by forcing the bottom circular plastic seat lip over the three bottom cage locking tabs - then snap it back on. The top nut is multi-use designed to also work with models with a large diameter stud or a non-threaded stud. Suggest not washing paper filters when they get too clogged ... they curl and can clog more ... instead, take them to a gas station or car dealer and air-blow them out from the middle.

Fyi, the filter received has no "ears" like the picture. It is a simple circular plastic plate with a hole in the middle for the stud.

There are 4 same-size filters in the product line, so pick the one most appropriate for your use: 1) 17816 general purpose (this filter); 2) 17907 for finer dust & ashes; 3) 17912 for ultimate fine pollen & allergen-level filtration; and 4) 17292 wet-only filter.

I have had my Craftsman Shop Vac for at least 15 years, probably longer. I was worried about the replacement filter not fitting properly. Should not have worried, fit easily and quickly. There is a difference in the original filter and the new one. The original had a plate built in at one end that the wing nut screwed down to. The new one has that cover built in with a pronged nut that goes on and secures the filter. Easier and one less part. I did have to push the filter down the cage and make it go on but that was no big deal at. I am happy and recommend this filter.

Perfect fit to replace the worn filter on my ancient Craftsman Shop Vac. This part number comes in a bunch of flavors, with all of them seeming to fit my vac anyway.

I saved the old cap and screw on piece from the old filter, but this comes with those (which do not exactly match the old one anyway).

My vac is from the mid 1990's, model 113.177360 and this fit it perfect.

The filter actually seems as good or better made than the original. I rarely replace the filters so this is only my 4th or so.

I ordered this for my 30 year old Craftsman Shop vac. The new design features an attached filter cap that’s held on to the screw post by a black plastic friction nut, not the original red plastic threaded nut.
The filter is the exact right size as the old one. The difference being what I previously stated about the cap. Anyway, just to be on the safe side the filter and attached cap allowed me to use the original threaded nut instead of the new design friction nut.
All is well.

This filter is a perfect replacement for my over 12 year old Craftsman 5 gallon wet/dry vacuum. Installation was very easy. Fit was to-spec.

This filter has been used primarily for [dry] shop floor clean-up of wood debris as well as lathe, band saw, table saw and miter saw dust extraction. While not the perfect solution for dust extraction (should have a dedicated extractor), this filter, when new, allows for excellent suction at the point where dust is generated.

I have been able to knock out the collected debris from the filter baffles for 2 re-uses of the filter (using a respirator outside as this is a very dusty procedure), but I can't recommend more re-uses. My subjective observation has been that the filter captured a very high percentage of the fine wood particles made by my shop's machines. And each re-use is subject to an increasingly clogged filter.

The filter has a cap already on one end instead of being open on both ends. The filter's cap has a bushing that keeps you from installing the holding but on by more than a few threads. I trimmed the bushing down and was able to get the nut fully into place. Otherwise it's a good fit.

This is one of those cases where the replacement item is made better than the original. No need to use the lid and nut from the old filter. The new one is an all in one package. I put it on my 22 year old vac, which was still using the original filter.....really. I used it often but just brushed and re-installed the old one but it finally needed replacing. Hopefully this one will last as long????

I have an old Craftsman 16gal wet/dry shop vac, you can't find many parts for nowadays, when searching for a replacement filter I was hesitant on buying one that wasn't the exact match, I took a change (after allot of research) bought this one and it fits as nice as the original and works almost as well.

My only problem (with all filters) is that you have to purchase separate ones for specific stuff you need to pick up (e.g. saw dust, drywall dust, etc) Once upon a time (that I miss) one filter would handle it all. now companies like to rip you off by having you buy more than one filter for different jobs. Being a "shop vac" for mainly "basement/contractors" I would think that they would have just kept making one filter for all jobs.

However, I will recommend this filter.

Perfect replacement filter. The design is a little different than the original but there were no problems installing and tightening. I usually just blow out my old filters and keep reusing but someone got it wet and it molded so I really needed this replacement.

YOO.MEE High Pressure Handheld Shower Head with Powerful Shower Spray against Low Pressure Water Supply Pipeline, Multi-functions, Bathroom Accessories w/ 79'' Hose, Bracket, Flow Regulator, Chrome

I wanted to take a moment to review this item since so many of the others were left by those who received discounts or free products. I did not, and so want others to have non-promotional feedback to help them make a decision. I live in a home with well water and poor water pressure. I installed this shower head in only a matter of minutes, and I am happy to say that I finally have a decent shower in my home. The pressure is sufficient enough to reach the back of the tub, which is much better than the previous shower head that didn't even make it to the center of the tub. I would say that those with great water pressure may find the stream too hard if they have sensitive skin, but it definitely transformed my well water pressure to a much better spray. The reason I'm only giving four stars is because the pressure isn't perfect - I've lived in other homes with much more pressure. Additionally, it is made of plastic and has a somewhat flimsy feel - I will definitely update when I have used it more than once. For those who are looking for a handheld shower head that will improve the pressure from wells or old pipes, I would definitely recommend this product.

**Update**
While this shower head still provides good pressure, the pulsating setting (the second of the three) stopped working within two weeks. This doesn't seem to affect the spray setting or the massage setting, but the rotating/pulsing setting was great while it lasted. I didn't deduct a star because it still provides the other two settings and the increase in pressure. Just wanted others to know about the problem if they are considering it for the less intense massage/shower setting.

 If you like water pressure this is the shower head. I pretty much just powerwashed myself and it feels great. It's intense! Only complaint is my girl probably won't like it as much.

Just installed this today, seems to work great. Installation was quite simple. I have to admit though, there was one piece leftover not referred to in the directions. It looked like a strange chicken foot thingamajig (picured below). It was pretty funny when we took it out of the clear package and discovered it was just a pen. It's a pen people, don't be like me and search the instruction manual for it.

I am leaving this review for the consumers like me who are looking for an honest and trustworthy recommendation. So, consumer, if you want the TRUTH from another blue-collar customer who deals with low water pressure, read what I have to say.

I live in a townhouse with absolutely horrible, low water pressure. With my last "hose style" shower head it would take 20-30 minutes to get a solid shower in and I always still felt grimey afterwards. It honestly became a chore just to stay clean. For the price, I figured that this Yoo.Mee would at least be worth a shot. Some of the one-star reviews made me apprehensive but I went for it anyway.

When the box came in the mail it looked a bit cheap so I was nervous. Don't let this fool you. For someone suffering from the misfortune of crappy water pressure, THIS SHOWER HEAD IS LIFE CHANGING! Not only has it cut my shower time into 1/4 of what it was before, the strong stream is relaxing and soothing. When I get of the shower I feel squeaky clean, relaxed, and rejuvenated. I have thick, long hair and to wash it would commonly take 40+ minutes. Before this product, I always had leftover conditioner and buildup in her hair, even after spraying away at it for extended periods of time. I am now in-and-out in 10 minutes and my hair feels cleaner and healthier. No joke.

Another thing we love is the nice, long hose length and the fact that the unit is so lightweight. It makes it easy to move around and just improves the shower experience overall by a landslide.

If you are hesitating for any reason, DON'T! You do not have to deal with low water pressure any longer now that you have stumbled upon this GOLDEN, MAGICAL, WONDROUS product! I promise you. I did not realize how utterly important water pressure is in the shower experience until I finally made the switch and mark my words- I will never, EVER go back.

To the one star reviews complaining about it not improving your water pressure, my guess is that you installed it incorrectly or you never really had low water pressure in the first place.

HAPPY SHOWERING!

UPDATE: 5/6/19 This shower head is still going strong for us. Years later. That says something about the quality of this product. There is a little black ring that popped off but it hasn't effected anything so I'm not even sure what the purpose of said ring was :)

The pressure is great. It's not QUITE blasting the skin off my body, but it's FAR stronger than the other two shower heads I've tried in this same shower and stronger than any shower head I can ever remember using.

There are 3 shower head settings at roughly 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 8 o'clock and there will be a well-defined groove (or click) when you hit each setting. If you find them to be too strong, simply move the dial BETWEEN the exact settings just a little bit (even 1 mm may suffice). This will lessen the pressure of any single mode.

By the way, the hose is a nice braided component, so it doesn't bend and curve into your shower space, it just hangs straight down. I didn't notice this mentioned elsewhere.

[EDIT: According to a commenter, the nuts are now identical. If that's true you can ignore the stuff about nut sizing.]

The directions are a little bit lacking. The hose comes with two different connectors (nuts) and one is small and one is large.

The SMALL nut goes on the large/long threads at the shower BASE (coming out of the wall).
The LARGE nut goes on the shorter threads at the shower HEAD.

I don't have any idea why the nut depth is not sized to the thread depth they are going on.

Why does this matter? The nuts and components are plastic. If you have to unscrew and re-screw them multiple times, you may damage them.

The instructions mention hand tightening in one section, but not others. I'd recommend hand-tightening everything just so you don't risk breaking any plastic--if it leaks, then get out an adjustable wrench or pliers.

Thank you... YOO MEE for including the eye cleaning mode. Notice in the picture, the tiny sliver of overly Psi’d water blasting off in its own direction. Like a rocket ship sending off a flaming rocket booster back to earth. Well, needless to say, my eye crossed directly into its path. Thankfully, the adaptor to adjust the pressure was set wide open, otherwise I don’t think the stream would have found its way between my eye and eyelid. I started seeing psychedelic shapes and colors flashing around. I nearly slipped and fell under the spell your showerhead had on me. It was intense. I felt like I dropped acid in my eye and was temporarily blinded, like when a soap sud somehow bounces off your body and into your eye, catching you off guard. All you can do at that point is wince and ride it out while watering your eye down. I had nothing. I took it by the horns and rode out the throbbing pain while maintaining my naked composure. My eyes welled up with tears and my nose started running. So to the next buyer of this elephant washer, please adjust the gray thing before gingerly walking out into an asteroid field. 4-stars. I didn’t ask for the eye cleaner.

This product is truly life changing for those with bad water pressure. I was a bit skeptical when purchasing because I have tried different shower heads in the past with no luck. This was not the case with Yoo.Me. Other reviewers are right the packaging was very simple, but the product is anything but. The only con is the fact that it produces a bit of air flow from the high pressure which makes my shower curtains stick to me, so I'll have to figure out a solution for that, otherwise it's pretty great!! I took a video of the before and after, hopefully you can see the difference!

Ok , so this is my review of the YOO.MEE high pressure handheld showerhead. As others have stated , it is really powerful , especially in full coverage mode ! Basically if I were to let it go , it would whip around like a loose fire hose . I'm not kidding this will push you away from a wall no problem. I almost feel like putting in one of the included flow restrictors because it provides such strong water pressure. But I won't. As for the included FLOW REGULATOR ( not restrictor ) unless I'm doing something wrong , it's pretty much useless. I followed the instructions but when it's connected no water comes out of the shower head. As for rotating it like it says in instructions it's solid plastic so the regulator itself doesn't move. You have to turn the shower head , to which only a trickle comes out so I don't even bother with it. So i just skip the regulator and go with just the shower head. It really does as it says , a good high pressure shower.

 ••UPDATE: 3 days later; this thing rocks, for just under 20$ , sweet deal , I’m a crew foreman , that’s right physical labor ; dirt under nails gone , lint in belly button blasted away, buttcrack clean as a whistle , personally I can’t say enough good about it .

•Tried 2 different handhelds from the Walmart , peerless and a waterpik , both we’re almost 30$.
Both were seriously weak, the waterpik had a decent centralized high pressure massage/ jet spray.
This one from yoo.mee is almost half the cost, and is sooo much more powerful , you can see hear and feel the difference, listen to it in my amateur shower head video. Plus the hose is done right , sturdy and no weird or awkward hangin positions to battle with or untangle -

Taking waterpik back today -

Hope it lasts atleast a year , and I’ll be a returning buyer -

I don't understand the purpose of fixed shower heads unless you don't like to wash the nitty gritty. With that being said, I always have had a hand held shower head. We moved to a new place and didn't bring our old one. I wanted something that was able to WASH the conditioner out of my HAIR!, The hose would be long enough to wash my dog ANDDD was able to toggle to a softer setting to rinse my baby!
This does ALL OF THE ABOVE. Installation is super easy; please use the plumbing tape provided. Also the grey washer is the adjuster that regulates the flow of the water. You must install this. I did not install the water saver. Although the showerhead itself is quite small, it is very powerful and has 3 settings. It is holding up great and the hose as well. I do recommend lowering the pressure BEFORE you turn off your water. This is perhaps why some of the other reviewers are having broken hoses etc.
If you still don't have amazing water pressure then perhaps the pipes are to blame or your landlord.
Go ahead and buy it, it's a better value than what you will find at regular stores for double to triple the price.
