Muscle up with Maytag

Advantages: Powerful Suction
Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side

...Maytag U5288 Our very basic Hover model had given up the ghost and retired to that vacuum haven that all old and out of suck vacuum?s go to. It?s poor lung?s were so full of dust and sand that one morning when I plugged her in, she just made a wheezing, whirring, coughing noise and died right there in front of my eyes. Now over the grief, we realised that a replacement was badly in need and off to our local Carrefour store we went to see what we could find. The selection was rather limited with most being the cylinder type. I can tell you I just don?t like these models, not sure why but they give me the feeling that you should be going WALKIES with them and not hovering a home. Anyway I had the choice of 2 uprights, first being another rather basic Hoover model and I couldn?t bring myself to kill another one as I knew it just wasn...

Review of Maytag U5288

Completing Our Dynamic Laundry Duo

Advantages: Efficient, attractive, quiet
Disadvantages: Pricey

...Given that the New Year for 2003 began with the death of an old appliance--our washer--Himself and I decided that the time was right for a first during our 34 years of marriage: We would purchase a new washer AND a new dryer to meet our laundry needs. We would purchase them at the same time, and they would MATCH in all reasonable respects. It was, we agreed, a great luxury. But it was a luxury we had earned and could finally afford. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Making the Choice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The choice of a dryer, of course, was determined in large part by the choice of a washer. Himself, a practiced navigator of the World Wide Web, had done the research--with the end result being the purchase of a Maytag Neptune Washer, model MAH5500B.

Review of Maytag Neptune Dryer (new) American Tumble Dryers

Kinky Massage Balls are Dryer Balls.

Advantages: Less drying time, less creases, less lint.
Disadvantages: Noisy, husband complains even more.

...My drying balls were a result of wanting to treat myself. I had some Tesco club card vouchers which is the perfect excuse for a reason to buy something for yourself that you don`t really need. Whilst perusing the store, some strange looking balls caught my eye. I was wondering whether they were a pair of kinky massage balls. On closer inspection, I discovered that they were tumble dryer balls! I hadn`t seen anything like the balls before so I was compelled to have a look. There were 2 balls, one in pale blue and one in lilac, covered in little nobbly bits. They were partially covered with cardboard packaging. I needed to find out more, I really wanted to feel the entire ball in my hand. I was puzzled with regards to their use in drying clothes so I read the cardboard packaging. Claims. ****** There were several claims...

My New Tumble Dryer Balls

Advantages: Cut down on drying time
Disadvantages: None

...A couple of weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a couple of Dryer Balls. I've seen them many times before and have read about them, but always wondered whether or not they would work. I was in my local Poundland and I saw them for...would you believe!....£1, well as I like a bargain, I couldn't resist. A Bit About Dryer Balls Dryer balls are made from PVC plastic, which is able to withstand extremely hot temperatures and will not melt. You get 2 balls in the packet. They are approximately 3" in diameter and are covered in little nodules. You simply put the balls into the dryer with the clothes and start the drying cycle. The balls are believed to reduce static build up during the drying process, help to reduce the drying time, make your clothes softer and also reduce the amount of ironing needed. Dryer balls claim to replace...

Maytag Stainless Steel dishwasher

Advantages: Quiet, large inside, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Intermittant fault that doesn't seem to be fixable, expensive

...I have had the Maytag for nearly two years now. I bought it to match with new appliances in my refitted kitchen. The machine holds a lot, more than our previous model. It was so quiet that when we first used it we didn't think it was working! It is easy to use, with lots of programmes. It has a low salt and low rinse aid indicator. It has an economy programme as well as all the usual programmes that you would expect for a top of the range dishwasher. About a year ago it suddenly started tripping the electric off and we needed to get an engineer. I bought the machine on line and I looked up Maytag and phoned them, they then arranged for a firm of engineers to send someone round. The engineer arrived, tried the dishwasher but it was fine, so said he couldn't do anything but let Maytag know if it happened again. He noticed...

Review of Maytag MSE760FAKS

Our pink dryer

Advantages: It dries hair
Disadvantages: Not the fastest but fast enough

...Hairdryer With Little Miss liking all things pink (and lilac) it was only a matter of time before a pink hairdryer entered the house. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING Thankfully I get into the pink (naturally!) box easily and even better is the fact that once inside, I didn't have to do anything- hairdryer was all set up and just required plugging in. The hairdryer itself is a kind of pearlescent pink colour which is attractive in that it's not overly gharish. The removable styling nozzle, which can be used to direct the air onto a small area of hair is black as is the trim around the back of the hair dryer and down the sides. The air inlet at the back and also (as I expected) the cord is black as are the switches. On the front of the handle there are 2 switches. The cool button can be pressed down for cooler air, and this is popular...

Review of Prolectrix 1800w Hair Dryer

An excellent hair dryer

Advantages: 3 dfferent heat settings, dries quickly, looks good.
Disadvantages: quite expensive and heavy

...This hair dryer was bought for me as a present from my husband and I can't fault it at all! he chose well! It is by the brand Umberto Giannini which are well known for their hair care products and hair dressing salons. It comes with three different heat settings, a hair brush and a diffuser to add extra voume to your hair. The package it comes in is attractive enough with a big cardboard box full of black swirls and a lrge window in the front of it so you can see the hairdryer. The hair dryer is white with a blue nozzle anda bright pink diffuser so against the white and black box it looks really stylish and stands out. It is quite a large dryer, definitely not one you would take away with you and it is a little heavy and cumbersome. It definitely dries my hair quickly, I have thick hair and it takes a while tyo dry my...

Review of Umberto Giannini BIG BLOW OUT Dryer

Saga of a Modern Luddite - Conversion Imminent

Advantages: Efficient, gentle on clothes, lots of cycle options, attractive
Disadvantages: Expensive

...unless I had strong feelings to the contrary, he intended to purchase a new Maytag Neptune washer AND dryer within the half hour. Well, quite naturally, I was taken aback. As the woman of the house, I felt that I should have at least some say in this process. "Hold on," I replied. "At least give me a chance to have a look!" That meant waiting until the weekend, of course. Meanwhile, I was strongly lobbied on behalf of the Maytag Neptune: ~ It was very efficient, he said. It would save on water and electricity. That sounded good to me. No issue there. . . . ~ He liked the front-loading approach. I wasn't so sure: I liked my old top loader. I preferred looking and reaching down into the tub in lieu of stooping in front of my appliance. ~ He liked the stainless steel tub. Frankly, I didn't care whether or not it had...

Vidal Sassoon Dryer Blows Frizz Away....

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: No diffuser

...This hairdryer from Vidal Sassoonn is a life-saver. The last time i used it was yesterday evening when i was going to a friend's party. I had just come out of the shower and was panicking because i only had about an hour to get ready. normally, my hair is a nightmare as it gets frizzy and uncontrollable when it has been washed. I used this hairdryer and my hair was dry and sleek in about 5-10 minutes. Unlike other hairdryers, it does not frizz my hair claiming to give it "volume". This made straightening it a breeze. The dryer has a number of different temperature settings also with a cool shot. This means that it is easy for anyone to sue as it adjusts to your hair type. I would definitely recommend this to people who have to get ready in a rush and teen girls as it is a real life-saver because it makes drying the hair so easy...

Ionic Hairdryer With Free Ceramic Brush.

Advantages: Kinder to your hair.
Disadvantages: None.

...My old faithful Babyliss hairdryer was on it's last legs and it was time to find a replacement, I had heard a lot about Ionic hairdryers and how they left your hair shinier and frizz free.......... Shiny, frizz free.............I want one ............and so began the search for an Ionic hairdryer. My search began with Amazon and it was'nt long before I found and ordered the................... ''Phillips Tresemme Salon Proceramic Hairdryer'' that was a few weeks ago and so far has proved to be a worthwhile buy. What prompted me to buy this one (apart from the style and functions) was it was on sale down from £30.00 to £22.99 and iincluded a separate Ceramic straightening brush. The hairdryer is all black apart from the slider switches, the air inlet grille and the hanging loop which are light grey ( see pics ) and looks...
