Bosch Compact Plus Health Guard Canister Vacuum Cleaner BSA 2200UC Review

Bosch Compact Plus Health Guard Canister Vacuum Cleaner BSA 2200UCThe Bosch Compact Plus Health Gaurd canister vacuum is a dream. This is my first vacuum and I know I made a great choice.

The suction power is adjustable, and man is it strong. I vaccum my short berber carpets on the second lowest setting and get dirt and sand left behind by my former roomate's upright.
It's quiet! I can hold a conversation on the telephone while vacuuming on low suction, the higher the suction selected the louder it gets. But even the loudest it gets is only as loud or quiter than the other machines I've used.
The small size is perfect for the condo I live in. The power cord and hose are long enough to fully clean the largest room and a little beyond.
The cord automaticaly retracts, this is a wonderful feature for those who are tired of winding up a powercord.
It cleans hard floors equally well as carpets. There is a switch on the head to change from carpet to hard surface.
The canister glides along with ease, no tugging the hose to make it catch up.
It is SOOO light. I don't have any problem toting it up and down the stairs, it is only 9.5 lbs. and the two carrying handles are sturdy and comfortable to grip.
The styling is handsome. The ruby red color is more fun than dark blue or black.
The telescoping tube can lie flush with the ground so it is possible to clean under furniture with at least 3 in. of clearance.
With the HEPA filter there are no particles of dust in the exhaust, it is cleaner than the normal air, it is condusive to households with alergies.

To recap, the vacuum is powerful, lightweight, manuverable, cute,easy to use.

This is an awesome product, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Brother SA224cv Cover Stitch Bias Tape Binding Set for Coverhem 2034cv Review

Brother SA224cv Cover Stitch Bias Tape Binding Set for Coverhem 2034cvI selected the Brother SA224CV after reading many other reviews on various coverstitch sergers. I have not tried all the accessory feet I purchased for the machine but the standard stitch has been very fast and easy to use.I have a Viking serger but never used the coverhem features because it took me longer to set up the machine than do the serging. I have a place in my sewing space for this machine to be set up all the time. For the price I think this is a great machine!

Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/Pkg Review

Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/PkgOrdered these for my mother who had recently purchased a Brother CS6000I sewing machine, with uses the larger (11.5mm, 7/16th-inch) bobbins.Although (at least at the time of purchase) this product appeared when you searched for the correct Brother part number AND the CS6000I appeared as a buying suggestion on this item's product page, it is important to note that these bobbins are of the smaller type, therefore NOT compatible with the Brother CS6000I.Since "customers who bought this product also bought" the CS6000I, it looks as if it might be a common mistake.

The product itself seems to be of good quality if you need the smaller bobbins, but the important compatibility information that is present on the back of the packaging is missing on the product page.

Miele Polaris S4212 Canister Vacuum Cleaner with SBD450-3 Combination Rug and Floor Tool Review

Miele Polaris S4212 Canister Vacuum Cleaner with SBD450-3 Combination Rug and Floor ToolI just bought this vacuum a couple weeks ago and so far I am very pleased with it.We were surprised to see just how small it really is.We live in a small house (1300 sq ft) and have a big newf, 2 cats, and a bird that loves to toss his food on the floor.The whole house has hard floors, laminate and tile.On the lowest setting, this vac has the power to clean the floor effortlessly.Max power is just overkill.This is a new model made to work with hard floor or low carpet.No problem with rugs either, just step on the button on the business end and the brushes retract.It is really clever.It even has 2 slots to stand up the wand so you dont have to lay it on the floor.The best thing about it is the noise factor.I used it the other night to vacuum on 50% power and talked on the phone the whole time.It just sounds like a fan.Amazing!Here is the list of pros and cons;

Pros
Extremely quiet
Very compact
Very light
Well built
Useful accessories
Turbobrush is great for hard floor and rugs
Casters are rubber coated and roll smooth
Wand is steel and retractable
Retractable cord

Cons
Only 1, the cord needs to be about 10 longer.I understand why its short though, due to the small frame size there isnt alot of room for a long

Heavy Duty Serger Overlock Carrying Case Review

Heavy Duty Serger Overlock Carrying CaseHard-sided carrying cases for sergers do not seem to be very common (at least they weren't when I was searching for one). Most people likely keep the serger set up all the time and so don't need to store it. I currently don't have a dedicated sewing area, and wanted a hard side instead of a luggage-style soft side case so that it could function as a 'cabinet' when the serger is not in use. This one is just the ticket- it's made to fit a variety of serger sizes, and my Brother 1034D fits inside with plenty of room to also hold a small box of accessories.

Reliable V95 Digital Velocity 1500-Watt Steam Iron Review

Reliable V95 Digital Velocity 1500-Watt Steam IronBack in July, I purchased this iron as my latest, expensive Rowenta iron started leaking like a sieve (at just over 1 year old).This iron is fantastic!From the first time I used it, it has been great.

The Reliable iron has a separate chamber and heat source for the water that generates the steam. This means that steam is available at a lower heat setting than usual.Also, the steam is consistent - no spitting, leaking or dribbling.The steam can be used with the iron in a vertical position (for steam-pressing a garment).The iron has two steam settings.The higher steam setting puts forth a tremendous amount of steam - just like a steam generator iron but without having a separate water tank to deal with.

The manufacturer does recommend using distilled water (really the only downside).The iron has removable/replaceable filters to extend the life of the iron by filtering out the mineral deposits that can prematurely gunk up an iron.

All in all, this is one terrific iron.I highly recommend it to anyone, especially to anyone who does sewing/quilting.Fantastic iron!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Reliable V95 Digital Velocity 1500-Watt Steam Iron

Product Description:
Quickly remove wrinkles from clothing and other fabrics with this powerful 1500-watt steam iron. Unlike traditional irons that produce steam with the soleplate heat, the unit features an internal steam generator that not only produces more continuous steam (30g/minute) than conventional irons, but it also allows for adjusting the soleplate temperature to accommodate the fabric being pressed, which means lower temperatures can be used without the fear of water spitting. Even more, the iron's stainless-steel soleplate provides a uniform temperature and concentrated steam holes at the tip for quicker ironing, plus special grooves that help smooth and dry the garment. Its electronic control system includes an LCD panel that displays the temperature level selected, the amount of steam selected, an automatic shut-off indicator, a water-tank refilling indicator, and an anti-scale filter replacement indicator. For added convenience, the steam iron's acoustic warning device beeps when the desired temperature's been reached, the auto shut-off safety system becomes activated, and every time a selection button gets pressed. Other highlights include a 1-1/4-cup water capacity, an 8-1/5-foot cord, and an ergonomically designed handle to reduce hand and wrist stress. The steam iron measures 12 by 4-1/2 by 7 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Reliable Empressa Digital Steam Presses Review

Reliable Empressa Digital Steam PressesI have always been lousy at ironing.
This steam press makes my life a lot easier.I can press both sides of an item at one time.I can put a crease in that lasts all day.

It takes some time to get used to putting items on the press.I don't really use the steam much, but I use the squirt bottle all the time.Sometimes I placed an item so it developed a crease somewhere I didn't want it.Just squirt and repress.

Unlike regular ironing where you work on a small portion at a time, this does half a shirt or a whole pants leg at a time.Proper placement and smoothing it out before pressing is VERY important or else you repeat.
I usually count to about 8 and it is done.
Most shirts take four presses of 8 seconds each.Half the shirt twice and the sleeves.Pants, hmm, I am still working on the alignment thing.Usually I am pressing the pants flat, meaning seam to seam, then folding to put the crease down the leg.

You will burn yourself.My boyfriend gave me cut resistant gloves and cut the finger tips out on the palm side to help me do the alignment thing.It opens like a clamshell.The front side is about 10" open and the back end is only about 2-3" open.It is very easy to bump the top with your hand, which is the heated part, in the process of lying clothes on it.I also wear long sleeves.AND pants or shorts.It sits about four inches lower than my fully raised ironing board since I also got the stand.Perfect for sitting,While standing, well, I am tall so it is right at my crouch level.I haven't experienced it but I heard a man who stated that he accidentally caught his "stuff" in it.So, I don't use it naked.

Product Description:
Reduce the time you spend ironing by up to 50 percent with this digital steam press. The unit's pressing area measures 25 by 10 inches--over seven times larger than most handheld irons, while its powerful burst-of-steam function smoothes wrinkles out of the most stubborn fabrics quickly and easily. The steam press works great for everyday ironing of trousers, blouses, jackets, and linens, but it can also be used by dressmakers as a mini-fusing press for setting fusing on collars, cuffs, jacket fronts, and more. The steam press comes equipped with a digital control panel with simple push-button controls and indicator lights that allow for accurately setting the temperature (up to 330 degrees F). Other thoughtful details include a safety alarm and automatic shut-off, a childproof safety lock, a Hi-Tec woven press cover with pad, and an accessory kit with a pressing cushion and water spray bottle. The UL-listed 1350-watt steam press measures approximately 26 by 22 by 9 inches.

Singer Inspiration w/ No Error ThreadingTM 4228 Review

Singer Inspiration w/ No Error ThreadingTM 4228I bought this machine yesterday.It was so easy to use that within minutes we had threaded it and started sewing.Indeed, I was quite happy until today (a day later) when the bobbin thread started bunching. Within minutes the machine stopped stitching completely!!(The needle thread just won't pick up the bobbin thread at all!!) I telephoned the store and they think it may need timing adjustments!!!Will be returning it in the morning for a complete refund.Am thinking of getting a Brother instead.I had paid more for the Singer brand but am thoroughly disappointed!

Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter with 2 Cartridges Review

Cricut  Personal Electronic Cutter  with 2 CartridgesI bought this product on a deal and a whim.I didn't expect to think it was SO COOL!!!I've looked at many "scrapbooking" gadgets and hate the commercialism that goes with a craft that started as a leftover way to archive.I've been "papercrafting" for decades, way before the modern "scrapbook" and "papercraft" fads.But the more I saw online about this machine, the more I was intrigued.So, once it arrived I unpacked it and within a half hour I was turning out letters.There is a tiny learning curve that amounts to calibrating the machine for what you want it to do, but the machine is intuitive, useful, versatile and fast.I can't believe how quickly it turnsout phrases that would have taken me days to cut out by hand.

I love it, I'm hooked, my only complaint is that the supplies and cartridges are so expensive that the expendable and disposable nature makes me have to be extremely cautious about what I choose to purchase. As an artist I do not have the disposable income to make mistakes.But I love this Cricut...chirp!

Simply attach the material to be cut to the included self-adhesive cutting mat, load it into the machine, insert the cartridge, make a cutting selection, and press cut.

SINGER QUICKFIX MEND MACHINE Review

SINGER QUICKFIX MEND MACHINESave your money.We bought this machine from Target just to handle a few repairs and a hem here and there. Simple enough, eh?NOT. First off, this machine works off of 4 AA batteries or DC current; therefore, the piddly motor doesn't have enough power to drive the needle through anything but the lightest fabric.Next, upon assembly the foot petal did not work, thus the only way we could use the machine is by switching the power on or off.We tried it out for about 10 minutes and agreed that this machine, at any price, is a loser.Think about paying $20 more for the Brother LS2125I.

Singer Spool Knitter Machine Review

Singer Spool Knitter MachineI bought this spool knitting machine for my daughter, who is 6 1/2 years old.We've been going to a kids knitting group together, and she was getting frustrated with the learn-to-knit process.I thought that if she could get results a little faster, it would be more satisfying for her.It turned out to be true.She loves that she can make a long I-cord in just minutes, and has started planning projects that previously she never would have considered.The novelty of a machine spool knitter is very popular at the knitting group, and all the kids want a turn at the crank!

One thing to note is that the knitter is relatively easy to use with a few caveats.First, READ the directions for threading the knitter!I thought using it would be easy, but spent a 1/2 hour trying to thread it before checking the instructions (I know, my bad!).Anyway, it is easy to thread, but not obvious to thread.Now that I know the secret, I no longer have to check the instructions.

Second, the yarn provided is not very strong and will break easily.In an I-cord, it is strong enough, but alone it's pretty weak.It's easy to thread new yarn onto the spools, though.

Third, one thing we learned is that it's important to turn the crank in a steady, fast motion.About 2 cranks/second is a about right.If you stop too suddenly, the knitter will skip a few stitches, and you will have to use a crochet hook, or other instrument, to get it straightened out.

Finally, it's easy to change colors - just tie a knot between the end of one yarn and the yarn on the new spool.I haven't tried it yet, but I bet self-striping yarn would be really neat on this knitter!
