“I love it! Just a few flaws. It seems very flimsy. Like if I were to drop it off the counter it would definitely break. I also wish there was more room for the bowl under the spout. It’s hard to get a good size of cereal because it stacks up so quickly and hits the spout.”

Customer Review:
“It can be a bit daunting to have to install you own security system. Making sure you do it correctly is important so that it protects your house. I think SimpliSafe got the memo…. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes ? It was set up, working, and now I am safe and secure.
I chose SimpliSafe because it was the least expensive option to have professional monitoring versus some other DIY options out there. I looked at ADT but it had long term contracts and Vivint which was much more expensive per month. Now, I’m set up and have monitoring so now my house is protected (without breaking the bank).”

It’s truly light-weight and perfect to put inside a duvet. It lays pretty flat and isn’t puffy or thick. I just purchased all linen bedding and this comforter is absolutely made to be inside a duvet. The linen duvet I have has strings in the inside corners and THIS COMFORTER has little loops on the corners so the comforter can be tied to the duvet and never slide around. Genius! “

Customer Review:
“I’m lazy. I bought these cups because I was fed up of hand-washing my 4 cup set of glasses every time I used them. So I bought a load of unbreakable acrylic cups that I could just put in the dishwasher and run it when I was ready.
Pros.
The cups are sturdy. No flex, they wash well in the dishwasher (top shelf) and they have a pattern to them so they are easier to grip when wet.
They stack, so they don’t take up a ton of room in the cupboard.
They are pleasantly colored.
They are USA made.
No chemical smell, no staining (with constant use for iced-tea)
They are light.
Cons.
I can’t think of any, not even a small one.”

Customer Review:
“I am very pleased with these towels. They are very soft, heavy and a quality towel. I’ve washed them at least 5 times and they are as good as new. I bought pink and I’d say the color is a medium salmon color not true pink but I haven’t been able to find a quality pink towel anywhere. Someone mentioned that they shed, but only in the dryer. They haven’t left a bit of material on me or anywhere else. I would highly recommend these towels.”
16. CARTMAN 136-Piece Tool Set

Customer Review:
“I bought this as a “stealth” kit to keep hidden away for those exasperating moments when you realize someone who used one of the “real” tools didn’t put it back–or that your battery-powered wonder has finally given up the ghost.
However, this little kit has been so handy and performed so well it’s become my go-to for all but the largest projects. No problems to date with the durability of the tools or case–just convenience, variety, and reliability in a discrete, easily hidden package. ;)”

Customer Review:
“Awesome! After several hours of researching different shoe rack options to fit my closet and reading many reviews this was the best option. Especially because it’s expandable. Super easy to assemble all you need is a Phillips head screw driver and 10 min. Well it took me 10 min. Super sturdy! Most importantly what I wasn’t seeing in reviews is that it fits my heels. I wear 4-5 inch heels and they all fit perfectly on all three tiers. Black shoes shown are 5 inch . it’s great that I can walk in my closet and actually see all my shoes making it easier to pick out an outfit for the day!”

The best of its kind, this robot vacuum will make your cleaning vanish with a poof. It has quiet operation and increased suction power at 1300Pa. It can easily vacuum for up to 100 minutes** on hardwood floors with noise no louder than an operating microwave.
Customer Review:
“Cleaning power: This thing sucks… It’s suction is much stronger than my Roombas have had. It picks up so much dust and pet hair. We do a full vacuum every other week with my Dyson, so I think of the robot vacuum as a supplemental vacuum. I was shocked at how much was in the dustbin after it’s inaugural cleaning! The picture attached to this is from that cleaning. It also gets a ton of dust in the little dust filter.”
