Igloo 40 Quart Maxcold Extended Performance Wheeled Cooler Review

Igloo 40 Quart Maxcold Extended Performance Wheeled Cooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this 40 qt model for 3 or 4 years and think that this cooler is great. Its a nice size for a family of 2-4 for a picnic or weekend camping trip (I use this cooler for the stuff that has to stay cold and a large plastic tote for other stuff like buns). Its pretty small compared to 60, 80, 100 qt models so I'd look at in a store before ordering.
Its nice to have the wheels (the 60 qt model does as well but I don't think the 80 or 100 qt models do). The larger size models also have a drain which I did not care about (this one is small enough to wash in a larger kitchen sink and I mainly use ice packs).
It works as advertized. On a recent camping trip we left on a Friday in 90 degree weather and came home Sunday and the ice packs were still frozen. A friend had also pored some ice into the cooler and the ice was still frozen/sticking to the ice packs when we got home.

This is a great cooler for your family camping, tailgaiting, beach, hunting or just sitting by the pool. From the MaxCold Extended Performance group, there is extra insulation in the lid and body which retains ice for 5 days. Durable wheels with strong, wide swing up tow handle make this cooler easy to transport from car to your favorite location. Holds 2 liter bottle upright. Stain and odor resistant liner make this cooler easy to clean.

Sunny Morning by Kalorik 18676T Blender, Stick Mixer Review

Recently my roughly 10-year-old 400 watt Braun Multiquick gave up the ghost, and unfortunately the Braun hand blenders have become hard to find, or I would have run right out to buy another one. I tried this Kalorik model based on a recommendation from Cooks' Illustrated. Cooks' Illustrated gave this blender a "recommended" rating in a comparison with other stick blenders at the lower end of the price range. The jist of the article (or so I thought) was that nowadays prices have come down on these appliances and that it is possible to buy one that is functional for less $.
I knew from the first time I used this Kalorik that I was going to regret this purchase. I tried to make a strawberry smoothie using frozen strawberries, a fresh banana, and some liquid, as I have many times before with the Braun. This Kalorik struggled with the strawberries, which became lodged under the blade. It began to produce a plastic-burning smell and overheat. This was the first time I used it! I also quickly realized that cleaning up the shaft would be an annoyance. You can't just run it through the dishwasher, as I was accustomed to doing. It needs to be washed by hand, and though it comes clean fairly easily, the shaft is not designed for washing and holds water. Make certain to drain it over the sink. Ugh.
I have to say, I am a bit disappointed with Cooks Illustrated on this one and would like to know what they were thinking! Sorry, I'm looking for something that will get the job done.

Equipped with a powerful 200-watt motor, this immersion handheld two-speed blender quickly purees soups, blends batters, mixes beverages, and more. The unit's stainless-steel blade provides extremely smooth and even blending, while its protective blade guard helps prevent splattering. The blender offers one-handed operation with its lightweight design, easy-to-grip ergonomic handle, and simple push-button controls. In addition, its long shape reaches into pots, pitchers, and bowls for extended blending options, eliminating the need to dirty extra dishes. For quick clean-up, the blender's detachable shaft can go in the dishwasher and the smooth surface of the blender body wipes clean with a damp cloth. A durable plastic mixing cup with measuring marks up the side comes included. The stick blender measures 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 14 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Mr. Light Circles Design Glass Solar Projection Lantern with Bronze Plated Finish Review

died in a week; poor construction, poor workmanship, poor service, poor value. I've purchased solar lights from other retailers that work well on the posts supporting the 100 feet of picket fence. "Mr. Light" was the only dud. Save the hassle and the time; buy from a different manufacturer.

Solar-powered for easy, wireless setup, glass panels are etched with intricate circles to create a vibrant pattern set off by glimmering bronze frames. The lantern is equipped with 1 rechargeable AA NiMh battery. The lantern stands 10 inches tall.

JOHNSON WAX Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner Kit Review

JOHNSON WAX Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner Kit

This cleaner works better than nothing - but not as well as spraying by hand.
If you were previously doing nothing whatsoever to clean your shower on a daily basis, this product is a lifesaver.
If you were previously using the daily shower sprays by hand, your shower will be about 75% as clean with the automatic shower cleaner.
If you don't always have time to spray by hand, this product will keep your shower from getting unsightly in between thorough hand cleanings. But it definitely will not leave it immaculately shiny, squeaky clean. I would plan on cleaning the shower by hand from time to time if you want the sit-in-the-tub-for-a-bath level of clean.
