You know what I don't want from my fan? I don't want to have to store it over the winter. I'm sorry, but space is tight and I don't want to store four box fans and three upright stand fans, I just don't. Now, this new bad boy from Dyson isn't just a fan, it's a heater too! More

I have to admit, even though I'm quite the clean freak, I did a little research on this one! It all started with my quest to clean my Dyson vacuum. I felt a little like Monica from Friends when she's caught using her dust buster to clean her vacuum which of course, seemed perfectly reasonable to me! More

Rating: Strong Recommend*
We used to live next door to someone who worked odd hours, thus would often vacuum at the most unusual times of day or evening, the loud whir of his vacuum motor audible even a building over with windows closed. That's just part of apartment life and also most vacuums in general. We too have occasionally found ourselves in the predicament of wanting to vacuum in the morning or later in the evening, but also wanting to be respectful of the noise pollution vacuuming can cause (especially since we live upstairs ).

Product: iRobot Scooba 230
Price: $299.99
Rating: Recommend*
Unveiled at CES 2011, we remember the Scooba 230 as one of the more popular household appliances previewed at the show (it seems people LOVE their Roombas from the chatter we eavesdropped upon at the iRobot booth). But while iRobot's cleaning devices have defined and cornered the robotic hard floor cleaning market, the wet-floor cleaning market is still being defined and evolving. iRobot is back, this time offering a small salad plate diameter sized intelligent robotic cleaner, designed to take care of wet/hard floor tasks in the kitchen and bathroom. Does the Scooba 230 eliminate the need for the ole mop and bucket, or should you keep scrubbing, Cinderella? More

Two years ago my husband and I completely renovated our kitchen. All the appliances were replaced, wiring was upgraded and surprisingly, we didn’t encounter any unusual electrical or plumbing issues with our 1970’s home. That is, until we found ourselves with a non-working oven. Four new ovens and five new glass touch panels later we finally discovered the problem. More
