My Double Deluxe Dress Form - Medium Review

I bought this dressform on sale for $129.99. It is an excellent value for that price, however, I feel as though the stand and the adjustment controls should both be sturdier to completely justify the full retail price which is why I gave it four rather than five stars. I'm using a base from a discarded office chair for my dressform which works perfectly to solve the light weight base issue. The flimsy adjustment controls would not be any sort of problem for a home user but I would have some concern about how they would hold up for someone who sews for others and would need to make frequent adjustments.

I did find the bust on the dressform to be two inches too low but I was easily able to correct this by putting one of my bras on the form and stuffing it with batting. This solution could be a bit problematic for someone who wears an A or B sized cup. It is my understanding that the Dritz Twinfit has a higher bustline if that is an issue.

By using the dressform's adjustment controls and using some quilt batting I was able to get a remarkably accurate double of my body in a surprisingly short amount of time. I can't overstate how much faster and easier the dressform has made fitting. My only regret is that I didn't buy one years ago.

Fuzz Wizard Professional Quality Fabric Shaver Review

I actually bought this on a whim at CVS (pharmacy), cost was same as Amazon - $9.99.It works like a dream!Only 2 nitpick comments:

1. should have AC adapter instead of/in addition to batteries (takes 2 C batteries)
2. lint receptacle fills up quickly and must be emptied often

Other than those minor issues, it is a great product.

Reliable T730A Enviromate Steam Cleaner with CSS and 11-Piece Accessory Kit Review

It does NOT clean grout as well as it advertises. If you get this machine, please be careful with caulking...you can damage it quite easily. Because it damaged my caulk, I found it difficult to clean my shower with it because well, there's caulk in there and it gets dirty too!! The only thing I use it for now is to clean the outside parts of the toilet. Soap scum doesn't come off...My windows and mirrors do not get clean. The manual is a piece of trash so even if this machine could do something, you're on your own to find out how.
The plastic seems cheap, the attachments damage easily...It is a horrible feeling when you open the box and just know that you've been had. Don't waste your money!!!

Rowenta DX1900 Effective Cord Reel Iron Review

It's great, if it works!!!After keep exchanging it over and over, I gave up the 5th time. First time, spray didn't work, second time, power steam button didn't release the steam, third time, it was too strong fabric got stock underneath the iron and I couldn't clean the iron, fourth time, steam problem again, fifth time, steam problem again. Poorly tested product. I would've been really happy to keep it, if it was working properly. It actually had all the features I was looking for. Too bad for Rowenta for not testing their products properly.

Miele S5281 Pisces Blue Canister Vacuum Review

I bought this on Amazon from Mr. Vacuum and Ms. Sew to replace my Hoover wind tunnel.I have had two Hoover wind tunnels that have lasted an average of 3-4 years.Before that I had a Eureka vacumn cleaner.

I bought this vacuum based on the review of others and the expected life of this vacuum cleaner.I haven't had much opportunity to use the vacuum so far, but I noticed a big plus is the noise level is much quieter than any of my previous vacuum cleaners.The wand can be adjusted which is a great plus.My husband made the comment that after I am done cleaning the house the air does not smell like dust.I also like the different levels to set the suction power and the retractable cord.

I will update this rating as I use the various features.

Miele S7280 Salsa Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Mango Red) Review

Spent good money to put high end Berber carpet in the house with persian carpets in the main formal area, then found out the challenges of having a single machine manage the cleaning without ruining the investment!The rollers that spin to create the air fow can catch the loops! I looked at lots of options from Simplicity to Dyson and the Miele 7280 was the Lexus of them all.One boundary condition for us was an upright.

The Miele has the same hinged movement as the Dyson so it is very easy to move around and the attachments are plug and play with simple end member push ins, it is very seamless to go from wood floors to marble to Berber carpet to attachments. LED headlights and the ability to go flat for under furniture are a big plus.I am using the suction only which is adjustable for now until I need to run the brush for a deep clean, by itself it does a great job. The HEPA filter is the best in business which was also a consideration.

What really sets off this Vacuum is the design, it is very high end at a reasonable price of $750.I am considering leaving it out of the closet it looks that good!The Dyson looks like a plastic toy and the Slimplicity looks like something my grandmother still uses, this is the Mercedes of Vacuum cleaners.
