Dirty Floor Predator: The Shark Steam Mop

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 07:20:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - First thing's first: I don't know why Epinions describes this as an "upright vacuum". It's not. It's a steam mop only. I've had the Shark for about two months now and both my husband and I love it. Basics about the Shark...

Joyful kiddos biking on air = parents walking on air!

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 17:19:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - What a great tricycle! We bought our Kettler tricycle second-hand in 2003 while living in Europe for one year. Although they are available in Canada and in the USA, no one owns them where we are on the Canadian prairie. Hence,...

Worth having, worth gifting, but not a God-send

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 01:24:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - My decision to first purchase Lansinoh was pretty easy. . . I was having excruciating nipple pain in the days after our first child was born (yep, cracked, bleeding, super-sympathetic looks from concerned husband. . . all that) and Lansinoh was the only...

Swiffer WetJet Starter Kit: The novelty wore off quickly. . . Swiffer Wet Jet banished to closet

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 18:39:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I bought the Swiffer Wet Jet as a supplemental floor cleaning product. I figured there's just no way that a flimsy little stick can get the floor clean the way a good scrubbing (or cotton-head mopping) will. On the other hand, I had a toddler...

The "No-Wet" Safe Bet!

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 09:02:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - Our Background Last spring (2005) we were getting a bit concerned about our daughter’s bed-wetting. Although she had just turned four, we knew a lot of her friends were dry at night – some who were far younger, or had become dry at night much...

"Fun" like cooking on Hobs! (But easier to clean)

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 02:39:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - Including taxes, this stove set us back almost $1,400 Canadian (about $1,000US at the time). We have had it for almost 3 years now. I look forward to selling it with the house when we move. :-) This is the first stove I have owned with the Ceran...

Takes the Cake: will last for years

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 02:09:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I used to hate baking things in springform pans. They leaked. They were finicky to clean. They got rusty. It was really hard to get the cheesecake crust out of the little "lip" on the edge of the pan's base. All in all, just a pain in the neck. Not...

This high point is a HIGH POINT of the Salzburg area!

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 01:45:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - The Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse (high mountain road) is a fantastic day-trip that was one of the highlights of my year when we lived in Austria in 2003! At 3,798m, Grossglockner is Austria's highest mountain peak, as well as being one of the higher...

A top-quality (& top-sized!) Throne for your Prince or Princess!

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 00:45:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - We chose the Britax Husky to keep our daughter in a 5-point harness longer. She has always been over the 95% percentile in both height and weight, and although now a mature 4-year-old, benefits from the extra protection of a 5-point harness over a...

Not quite the creamer of the crop

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:02:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I don't know WHAT'S sillier. . . that this is one of the products listed to review on Epinions. . . or that I'm reviewing it!! But legitimately, this creamer is not the cream of the crop. I have dinnerware in this exact style, just the sapphire...

Nothing to Sniff At!

Mon, 26 May 2003 18:31:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - You gotta’ feel sorry for the poor, totally unsexy nasal aspirator. NO ONE wants to review it. Britax Roundabout: 325 reviews. Purple booger-buster: 0.

Nasal aspirators are not in daily use in my house, but the few times that my daughters...

It will NEVER fail you!

Mon, 26 May 2003 09:48:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - Can you feel a warm gush of love when your eyes wander over to your hall coat rack and settle upon your diaper bag? Yes! Can a good diaper bag lend you dignity and aplomb when it accompanies you and one or two babies, on outings with amazing capacities...

Good from Far, Far from Good ;-)

Tue, 20 May 2003 20:37:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - We received the Graco Neat Seat as a gift from my husband’s colleagues in June 2001. We were catalog shopping through Sears, so did not have an opportunity for much comparison shopping. It’s a good high chair, but could benefit from several...

Big Promises - Poor Payout

Tue, 13 May 2003 11:11:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I purchased my Alpha Omega car seat at Walmart in Canada in August 2001 when our first daughter outgrew her infant seat. WHY WE BOUGHT IT 1. Limited opportunity to compare with other products: Frankly, in our geographic location,...

Definitely DOES NOT beat the Bjorn

Mon, 12 May 2003 19:11:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I had a Baby Bjorn carrier for our first daughter and loved it. However in shopping for a baby gift for a friend, I discovered the Theodore Bean carriers. I bought a leather carrier from the “Collection” line, brand-new on eBay.

Baby Bjorn Original: Hands Down Winner!

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 03:21:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - Having tried a Snugli, a sling, and another carrier (big padded wrap-around straps, can wear baby on your front or back), I adored the Baby Bjorn. I do believe it is the best front carrier on the market and well-worth the cost.

Maclaren Mistral Stroller X294: Buy Quality: gets the job done - pleasantly!

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 01:57:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - I just got my brand-new Mistral but am confident it will provide me with YEARS of faithful and smooth service (and likely a handsome resale price when I'm done with it). NB: for 2002 the Mistral has been replaced with Quest. I'll start with the far...

Savvy Z was not for me!

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 01:17:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neuhofer - My rural Manitoba location makes it difficult/impossible to test-drive most of the strollers available across the USA. I had read about the Combi Savvy Z extensively on the 'net and it had great owner satisfaction.

I also read that it was good...
