Eureka Motor Filter for 4300-4500, 4600, 5180, 5190



Just the right filter
I was happy to find these
Filters as they No longer are sold in stores. These work well in my vacuum.

My Eureka Motor Thanked Me
The little filter between the vacuum motor and filter bag is easy to overlook. Changing it will help the machine to work better longer. It was easy to install.

good product
its okay.I would recomend this product to my friends and family too.I gave it a 3 star because its ok.

LG LCRT2010ST 2.0 Cu Ft Counter Top Microwave Oven With True Cook Plus and EZ Clean Oven, Stainless Steel - Optional Trim Kit Available



Great BIG microwave, not for the simple-minded
I bought this microwave to replace a Panasonic that died after about 8 years.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
The "TrueCook Plus" gimmick seems a little silly, but I've never used it. There's a website with a list of the foods that use TCP, but in the grocery store I never see the TCP symbol. If you cook all your meals from frozen dinners in the microwave, this might have some value, but as of April 2011 there just aren't that many foods using TCP.

It has way too many buttons: The Quick Touch sensor, alone, has separate buttons for cooking: potato, rice, popcorn, fresh vegetable, frozen vegetable, and frozen entree, as well as a quick touch "reheat" button which can reheat either 1) a dinner plate, 2) soup/sauce, or 3) casserole. (WHERE'S THE REHEAT BUTTON FOR PIZZA????) The key is, you don't have to enter a time or power, the microwave figures it out based on the sensor. I always have to refer to the manual to do it, but so far it has worked very well for cooking...

Two defective units
I REALLY hate reviews that slam a product because the consumer happened to get a defective unit. Nothing is perfect, especially mass produced appliances. Now, having said that, I'm going to give this microwave 1 star.

I bought this microwave at a local big box store, and it was defective. There was a loud buzzing noise, and it looked as though one of the screws on the back of the microwave near the vent was sparking. Uh oh! That doesn't sound safe!

We took the microwave back to the big box store, and they didn't have any in stock for an exchange. Well, I really liked the features of this microwave so I was willing to drive to another location to get another one. When I plugged this new unit in, the fan, light and turntable powered up on it's own. I could enter a cooking time, and it would count down, but once it got to zero, the fan and light and turntable stayed on. I didn't test if it was actually microwaving or not. I called LG to make sure I wasn't missing an...

A great performer for the price...with some reservations
After LOTS of research by me, this unit made the short list of three selected on the basis of aethetics by my partner. Online reviews ranked this LG model almost as well as the Sharp R-530ES, but the LG was almost $100 less. The 2 year warranty was ultimately the deal clincher.

Thus far we haven't used every feature, but have used it enough to learn it's 20% more powerful than our (now deceased) KitchenAid microwave, and heats items very evenly. My partner is less than happy about the degree of doneness for autocooking bacon (preferring crispier bacon than I), but I think it's perfect, and much more consistent than our old KitchenAid, which delivered bacon anywhere from barely cooked to almost black.

I really appreciate the curved cavity, as one of the problems we had with our KitchenAid was our maid's tendancy to wipe the corners with a damp rag and then close the door, causing both corners to rust over time. I also appreciate the greater capacity and larger...

Holmes HM1761-U 2Gal Cool Mist Humidifier



Use Bacteriostat and the filter will last for the season
We have 2 of these humidifiers, and they work very well. We require the white noise for sleeping, so we love that it is loud. The tank lasts for two nights (about 24 hours running time. We add a capful of Holmes Bacteriostat to the water each time, and no mold grows on the filter. This product is basically peroxide, and the bottle lasts all winter for two humidifiers. My only complaint is that there is no way to clean off the fan blades, and after three years of use we need new machines. Still, I think they are a great value and they help eliminate stuffy noses at our house!

Regret selecting this humidifier
We have owned this unit for approximately 3-4 months and have had to change the filter four times now. At about $10 per filter, the cost of ownership is just not worth it. After about a month of use, the filters begin to smell musty or moldy, requiring us to change them (or fill the room with musty smelling moisture).

As humidifiers go, the unit is a bit loud, although as another reviewer said, the 'white noise' type of sound doesn't bother our sleep.

We're definitely searching for a new humidifier - this one is becoming to expensive to continue using.

Loud, but I like it
I actually like the fact that it is loud. I bought it for my kids' room. I like the white noise factor; it helps them both sleep.

I keep it upstairs and I can't hear it downstairs. Doesn't bother me at all. Easy to clean and fill.

Supco WV8046 Replacement Icemaker Dual Solenoid Water Valve for Whirlpool Icemakers



Supco replacement Dual solenoid valve
The valve works great and the reason I purchased this item was to change over from the cheap push on plastic type connection to the refrig. The push on type hose became defective and cause several thousand dollars worth of damage. The solenoid allowed me to go to a 3/8" hose connection. The 3/8" hose also comes with an automatic shutoff.

I put one in a couple years ago.
Just to let you know, It has been running non-stop for two years. I hope this helps. Very simple install. Lots of parts you won't need.

Quick/Easy Transaction, Great Part at half the Price of other vendors!
Wonderful purchase, shipping! Worked like a charm on a 15+ year old fridge! Would order from again w/out a doubt!

Nik Schmitt Fermenting Crock Pots 10 Liter



Arrived in one piece!!!
This has to be one of my most cherished possessions!
Many reviews state that they received their crock in several pieces. Mine arrived packaged in TWO boxes and TONS OF PACKING MATERIAL. I really think that after a few broken returns, Amazon got their act together and padded the dickens out of this thing! I really should have bought the 15 or 20 liter crock but then again I love to give Sauerkraut to everyone!!!
If you have never owned a fermentation crock, I urge you to buy one. It will last your whole life and you will love what you can make! It is so easy and makes a great family project. Getting the kids involved in making healthy food and showing them the fermentation process is a wonderful thing.

LIKES:
• The label came off so I could have one color (I hate stickers and labels)
• The color is a very dark brown and it has a flatter lid than the picture
• It comes with the weights!
DISLIKES:
• The water...

Love this item
I purchased this crock on a Friday afternoon and had it on my door step on Monday. Wow was that fast. And the crock is so great. Even though these types of crocks seem to be pricey, they are worth it. They are made with the extra height to allow for a full 2 gallon capacity. I have cabbage in mine right now fermenting, it to sauerkraut. It is sitting in my kitchen and by putting the water in the trough with water as instructed, and it really does seal the crock. Like I said for now it is in my kitchen and there are no odors excaping from the crock. Next week will be time to move it to a cooler location, so it will be moved to the basement. These crocks are excellent quality, as well as the included stones. Makes making sauerkraut and pickles, etc, just plain fun and easy!!

nothing like fresh sauerkraut
I have made sauerkraut before - trying to keep the container cool and sealed, sterilizing bricks to weight - - only made sauerkraut every couple of years because of the hassle - I could not believe how easy and better tasting the sauerkraut was with the fermenting crock! I hope to try fermenting some other vegetables over the winter after I've finished with all of my cabbage.

Jiffy Steamer Steamboard



Totally Disappointed
The Jiffy Steamer Board was not at all what I expected. 1)It is much too heavy to hang over an average door 2)It did not have pre-drilled holes for attaching the over-the-door hardware and 3) the on-line picture shows a garment clamp at the top holding a pair of pants while it arrived with an eye screw and coat hanger which would position clothes too low for easily steaming. I returned it!!!

Easy to use
I bought this steamboard to use with my Jiffy steamer and I love it. It comes with 2 different ways to install it: a wall mount and an over the door bracket. I used the over the door hook/bracket because I have a door in my laundry room in a convenient location to steam clothes. This board makes using the steamer really easy. It comes with a hanger with 2 clips to secure the garment being steamed (like a trouser hanger) and I like to clip the bottom hem of a pant leg pulled taut to make it really simple for me to get quick, crease free results. I highly recommend this board if you have a garment steamer; it really makes it that much easier and faster to remove wrinkles from your clothes.

Range Kleen 10124XZ Chrome Style A Drip Pans. 4 Pack Containing 3 Units of 6 inch 101Am, 1 Unit of 8 inch 102Am. Will fit most electric ranges with plug in elements



Perfect just what we needed
Its so hard to find the 3 small and 1 large drip pan sets. You saved me time and money for not having to run around.
Yes no problems getting the set you see!

Great replacement drip pans. Makes stove look new!
I purchased these replacement drip pans in addition to another model a couple weeks ago because the product description didn't say which range models these would work in. (These DO NOT work in GE or Hotpoint ranges so don't buy them if you have either of those brands. I have a GE so this set has to go back.) I see Amazon has updated the description since I bought these to include all the range brands these drip pans will work in. However, the set info is wrong. The set of 4 drip pans for model #10124XZ includes 3 SMALL drip pans and 1 LARGE one -- NOT 2 small and 2 large.

Range Kleen Drip Pans Proved Excellent ~!
Range Kleen Drip Pans, I have ordered with Amazon turned out to be an excellent buy ~! And I have purchased two sets which should last me for a while... They are of good quality and a nice shine...
I searched for the right set for a long time and found it here ~!
They arrived in timely manner and very well packed...
Thank You so much ~!
Would recommend to anyone searching for the right replacement ~!
