Whirlpool LRF4001RY Fabric Freshener System: Hot Stuff!

Sun, 6 Jan 2008 19:14:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - The Fabric Freshener is a portable steam closet. It's supposed to hold two garments at a time, but I usually stretch it to four. Its purpose is to relax wrinkles and remove odors. It uses about 1 to 2 cups of distilled water per cycle and plugs into a...

Great for the Sewing Impaired

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 17:11:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - My idea of successful sewing involves going really fast in a straight line without putting a needle through my thumb, so if you're accomplished, look elsewhere for a meaningful review. I looked for a few things in a machine: Self-threading (crucial),...

Doesn't Thunk

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - ********apologies to those who have read this as an express review. I kept reposting, trying to figure out why it wasn't a full review. I've finally figured it out***************************

I bought this at work it my continuing quest for the...

What an improvement!

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 13:19:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I bought my Can O' Worms from someone who had given up vermi-composting. I had been 'verming' in milk crates lined with weed cloth and loosely covered. It worked, but barely. It dried out constantly. I finally surrounded the whole thing with a plastic...

The big surprise is that it really works

Sun, 16 Jul 2006 21:41:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I was very dubious about this product. An expensive tube of 10 effervescing tablets for all that money $5-$6-$7 - I don't remember. It seemed a lot. I read it and it seemed like it only had a few vitamins, some echinacea, and a few herbs I only knew as...

Puts the fun in functionality.

Sat, 16 Jul 2005 14:09:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I bought this new at a garage sale, so perhaps my expectations weren't so high - especially since I read some of the negative reviews on this site before I used it! Well, I love it. The first thing I did was microwave some diced tomatoes, zucchini, a...

Use with great relief...and caution

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 12:05:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - jo.com has written a very thorough review, and I don't intend to repeat the same information. It's all accurate, and I agree with everything in it. I simply want to add some information about this product that I believe to be important:

It's...

Just don't!

Sun, 6 Apr 2003 12:26:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - King County sells these for practically nothing, and I was tired of composting in garbage bags, so, of course, I had to have one. I was better off with the plastic bags. This is a two-piece bin with a locking lid. It’s open at the bottom, with...

I LOVE this vacuum cleaner!

Tue, 28 May 2002 18:58:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I'm very surprised by the negative reviews I've seen. I love it! It cleans like a hungry ogre. It's even good on bare floors. It works so well that the first time I tried it, I sucked up a stray sock. Then I took the hose loose to put on an...

Most Versatile tool in the cabinet

Tue, 28 May 2002 18:40:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I groaned when my husband gave this to me. I remembered other stick blenders with changeable blades. Big hassle. In place of doing one thing well, they did several poorly. All I wanted was a simple, cheap, stick blender. Well, I couldn't have been more...

eBay: I love EBay...with reservations

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 15:10:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I buy as much as possible there. I've purchased air cleaners, a vacuum cleaner, a roof fan, espresso maker, a first edition book, stamps, graphing calculators, a razor, grass clippers, a guitar, and probably more that I can't think of at the moment.

Gardens Alive! Online Store: Mixed feelings. Great catalog, expensive, some great products, some so-so.

Mon, 11 Mar 2002 18:04:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I love this store. I think I want everything I see. But the more I learn, the more I discover that I don't have to pay these kinds of prices to get what I need. Corn gluten-based pre-emergent weed suppressant (WOW!) has been around since the sixties,...

Assembling it was a breeze. Dumping things in was a simple matter, of...

I beg to disagree

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 13:32:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - This is a turning drum that sits on a base with holes in it to collect the liquid run-off. The manufacturers claim that it can produce 85 pounds of humus in approximately 3-4 weeks. Unit measures 30" high and 27" in diameter and 21" wide, and has @7...

Not for the weak

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 17:05:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mkirkwag - I hate it!

I was prepared to love this product, and indeed, when I took over from my husband on my little prepared bed, it was great. BUT...I can't start it. I'm not the weakest person on the planet, but this machine leaves me feeling utterly...
