Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge (Kitchen) Review

What costumer say about Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge (Kitchen) ?

Sturdy and leak proof, but more expensive than Pur; takes force to replace filter - I got this as replacement for my Pur facet. Pur started to leak after using it for 2 months. I turned to Culligan. First time installation is easy for Culligan faucet, but changing filter is kind of a drag. The filter design is a bit awkward as you have to loosen the old filter from the bottom. I found changing Pur filter was alot easier. Culligan filter are stuck so hard in the faucet that I have to take out the entire faucet system off before changing the new filter. If you are old, forget about buying Culligan. You will have to rely on some one younger to replace the filter.

GE 13-Watt Energy SmartTM - 8 Pack - 60 watt replacement Review

What costumer say about GE 13-Watt Energy SmartTM - 8 Pack - 60 watt replacement ?

Too expensive for the short life span - I replaced almost every bulb in my house with these compact fluorescent bulbs. While they are quite pricey, I thought it would even out in the long run since they were supposed to last so much longer than conventional bulbs and also lower my electric bill. I did notice a slight difference in the electric bill, but these bulbs certainly don't last any longer than the conventional bulbs. In fact, half of them have burned out in less than a year! They weren't on dimmer switches either, just regular light fixtures. I also don't like that they take so long to go to full brightness. I have no window in my bathroom and with these bulbs, it was like having only a night-light on for several minutes until they warmed up. Just did not like them at all.

WBM Himalayan Light #1001 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and Dimmer switch (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about WBM Himalayan Light #1001 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and Dimmer switch (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Faulty Electric - WBM Himalayan Light #1004 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and Dimmer switch (Tools & Home Improvement) My experience with the packaging and shipping impressed me after reading the bad reviews..My lamp arrived in excellent condition! and I love the beautiful colors. HOWEVER, After only having it plugged in for 10 hrs, I heard a 'pop', the bulb exploded black shattered glass all over inside. The bulb just didn't go out it exploded. I did call your company, was told that the lamp was safe, not a fire hazard (my concern) but that I rec'd a faulty electric cord. I'm awaiting a new cord and bulb now and will update my product review accordingly.

Samsung DA29-00003G Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about Samsung DA29-00003G Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Does Not Work - Possibly Fake or Defective - This filter did not work in my Samsung refrigerator, which is less than a year old. I installed it, and it would not flow water when turned to the locked position. It was only when I turned it back to a position somewhat in between "insert" and locked position that it would flow water. I briefly considered leaving it in this position, assuming it would work well enough, and that it was just a bit misaligned. I feared that it would pop off though and leak water everywhere. Fortunately the refrigerator made the decision clear, as it began to chirp and flash lights continually. It flashed the energy saver light on and off rapidly and was annoyingly loud. As a simple test, I swapped back in the original Samsung filter that came with the fridge. All noises and light flashing stopped. I then went down to Best Buy and bought another filter. This one worked perfectly. I can only assume that the filter sold on Amazon is flawed or defective and being sold as authentic, new, first quality. Obviously the locking lugs on the filter were not in proper alignment with the water holes. Counterfeit part? A rip off. Now I'm outside the return window and out my money. Better off paying full price for a working authentic first quality filter.

Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Don't make the same mistake I did. - I saw the overwhelming number of positive reviews for this product and bought it outright.

A fool I was.

This sharpener gives an extremely shallow edge, and not a very sharp one at that. It is absolutely worthless for pocket knives - do NOT use this on anything other than large, thick cutting tools (axes, machetes, etc)! Don't make the mistake I did and immediately set upon sharpening my favorite pocket knife, only to find that the knife was now actually more dull and the edge was now set at an extremely shallow angle.

Do yourself a favor and get a whetstone.

Kidde KN-COSM-B Battery-Operated Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm with Talking Alarm (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about Kidde KN-COSM-B Battery-Operated Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm with Talking Alarm (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Ultimate Safety First! - Ultimate Safety First!, August 6, 2005 By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    After someone explained to me that "beeping" noises of smoke alarms do not always wake people (especially children), I looked into this `talking alarm'. It is amazing. Instead of that annoying `beep-beep', you hear either a vocal, "Fire! Fire!" or "Carbon Monoxide!". Not all smoke alarms will detect carbon monoxide and any firefighter, policeman or paramedic will tell you that carbon monoxide can be just as deadly. Plus, this kit comes with batteries and a DVD that shows firefighters in action. This is the kind of protection every family needs and at the price, it can't be beat. You can easily test it weekly and a small green light will tell you if the batteries are functional (you should change them every year anyway). When the batteries are low, the red light flashes and a voice warns you along with a 'chirp'. This is a no-brainer!

O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Creme 3.2oz Jar (Health and Beauty) Review

What costumer say about O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Creme 3.2oz Jar (Health and Beauty) ?

Save the money & buy.............instead - I do not understand some of the reviews stating this really helped with crack feet. Maybe it depends on the cracked feet severity but mine is cracked and dry and rough from years of no shoes. This has done nothing for me and I feel it was a waste of money. If you have severe cracked feet, save the money and just go to the dollar store, buy a $2 Lg container of Vaseline, put it all over your feet (generous amount), put baggies over your feet and then put on socks & go to sleep. Did this for a week and my feet are Soft and amazing like they were in my 20's. This product is a waste of money.

10 pack MAXELL AG13 LR44 357 button cell battery (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about 10 pack MAXELL AG13 LR44 357 button cell battery (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Good deal -- way less expensive than what's at the store - My son has a lot of those books with buttons that you push for music or sound effects. As their batteries ran down, I'd occasionally hit the store to get new ones. And for the most part, it was cheaper just to buy a new book than to pay the jacked-up prices they're charging for those little button batteries.

Luckily, I did a quick search and found this deal on Amazon. For roughly the same cost as two of the batteries from the store, I was able to pick up 10 instead (and that includes shipping).

Jury's still out on how well they last, but thus far they've performed admirably.

Edit (5/18/13): My personal experience with these batteries has been very positive. However, I've noticed several negative charges being made, which leads me to believe that quality control with these folks may not be great. Can't say I'm shocked. At any rate, if you do decide to buy these batteries, understand that not everyone's happy with the people who cell them. ;-)

Samsung DA29-00020B Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about Samsung DA29-00020B Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Easy to replace - Happy to find this on Amazon slightly cheaper than my local appliance store (and easier with free shipping). Easy to replace ... wasn't positive that my filter needed replacing on my Samsung side-by-side, but the side of the filter box tells you that the filter indicator on the fridge (normally blue), turns red when it needs replacing. So I waited a few weeks to actually replace the filter, and sure enough, the indicator did eventually turn kind of red. The box mentioned that it might be difficult to replace without turning off the water supply, so I had my husband change it out. He had to turn the old filter fairly hard to get it out, but it came out (and new one went in) without having to turn off the water supply. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

GE MWF Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about GE MWF Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

The description for the item changed. - I did receive one genuine water filter for my refrigerator and it worked fine. But what I ordered (and what it stated on my invoice and on my order confirmation) was a "3-pack of ..."

I tried to contact the vendor, no response.
I tried to contact vendor through Amazon resolution web page, no response.
I filled out an Amazon claim, no response.
Amazon refunded my money.

So although the filter I did get was fine, the vendor needs to work on their customer service. I am satisfied with what happened, but still it would have been more fair if they had just refunded me 66.6% of the money I paid, or had sent me two more filters and not refunded me anything....

Maytag UKF8001 Pur Refrigerator Water Filter 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about Maytag UKF8001 Pur Refrigerator Water Filter 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Confusion Resolved - I bought an Amana refrigerator a little over a year ago and recently the "Replace Filter" light came on. I shopped several stores around here and was totally confused as to which filter was the right one. I mean, Whirlpool bought Maytag and Amana bought Whirlpool (or something like that), so it is hard to tell which filter was for which fridge. There were no convenient charts to guide you. Finally I went to Google and typed in the part number. Amazon had the best price. We have well water with a whole house filter, but my son noticed the difference right away. Good filter, good price, quick delivery.

What costumer say about Whirlpool 4396841P PUR Push Button Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 2-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Water Smells Like a Wet Sock - Whirlpool 4396841T PUR Push Button Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 3-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement) The filter that came with my frig was great, but it was time to change it. I figured there wouldn't be much risk in buying a 3-pack.. boy, was I wrong. I have pushed enough water through the new filter to fill a bathtub (ha) and it still smells like a chemical/sweaty sock smell. It is horrible. Nothing like sticking your nose in a glass of water that smells like a wet sock. I keep thinking that it will "clean up" as I use it, but nope. Still horrible. I might give up on the first filter and try the second in the 3-pack. Very disappointing. I will update if anything changes.

FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

Worst flashlight I have ever used - Pros: Look at other comments - 1 battery, bright, small, durable.

Cons:
*Where to begin... first off, the on/off switch is complete garbage. Dislodged itself, was able to "nudge" it back into place to get it to shut off. Switches modes CONSTANTLY... walk around with a flashlight for 10 seconds before it starts switches to strobe. Incredibly annoying
*There is hot glue on the LED bulb.
*Sometimes does not work at ALL.

I have a $5 LED light from Walmart that I've owned for nearly 2 years. May not be as bright, but hell, it actually works. Was iffy when I saw the flashlight, so I bought 1 to try it out. Will NOT be buying another.

EDIT - Bought a 2 pack of flashlights from Home Depot the other day for $10 ($5 a flashlight basically). 100 lumens, 150 meter range. This flashlight might say 300 lumens, but the 100 lumen light will completely make this flashlight's light disappear; even when "zoomed" in, the 300 lm light is pathetically dim compared. The 300 lumens is more around 20-30, or even less. The flashlight from Walmart is a 7 lumen light and is nearly as bright! Pathetic.

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream, 3.4 oz. (Tools & Home Improvement) Review

What costumer say about O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream, 3.4 oz. (Tools & Home Improvement) ?

O'Keeffe's truly works - O'Keeffe's truly works, December 8, 2008 By Andrew M. Lane - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    There was a 3-year period when I used to suffer from frequent skin splitting at the ends of my thumbs and first fingers. I tried various skin lotions and cremes (including O'Keeffe's creme in a tube) but nothing was helping, so I needed to masking-tape my thumbs and first fingers - keeping the tape on 24 hours a day. It was a real nuisance.

Then about 8 months ago, I found out about O'Keeffe's Working Hands paste in a small jar (it's listed on Amazon as a creme, but it's really more of a paste). I thought I'd give it a try and I'm so glad that I did! I started putting it on my thumbs and first fingers ends, just after I got into bed at night. I didn't apply it during the day - just at night. And two weeks later, the splits had healed. I've continued to use it most nights, and in the last 8 months my skin has not split even once. What a relief!

I also maybe once a week apply it to the heels of my feet, again at night time. The former trouble I used to have with excess callousing, has disappeared. My heel skin is now much, much softer. O'Keeffe's has another product that is designed more for feet, but I haven't needed to try it, as the Working Hands works just fine for me.

The 3.4 oz jar looks like it's going to last me about 9 months. A little goes a long way.
