Black & Decker LM175 18-Inch 6.5 Amp Electric Mower Customer Review: couple fundamental problems, but don’t let this stop you
Problem #1) There’s two safety clips for the handles to ensure the handle bar does not come out of the base. I could never get them connected. The handle bars lock tight into the base. I’ve never had a problem with them coming out.

Blueair 501 Air Purifier with SmokeStop Filter - HEPA-Silent Air Cleaner with Gas and Odor Filter Quiet and efficient HEPA-like air purifier with smoke, odor, and gas removal. For those who want quality but quiet filtration. Popular for bedrooms of up to ~550 sq. ft. Recommended for people with allergies or asthma.
Customer Review: Better than great
Works very well at filtering the air. this one was actually too powerful for my bedroom even at the lowest setting. There is a noticeable difference in the air when the Blueair is on. All speeds are very quiet except for the highest setting which is disproportionately louder than all the other settings. The product itself is very sturdy and well made. For anyone with allergies this is a great product that will no doubt make a difference.
Customer Review: good
While it’s difficult to directly measure the effect that this air filter is having on the environment with any degree of certainty without tools to measure air quality it certainly seems to me to be doing a good job. I wake up feeling better, and my sinuses have stopped giving me trouble. I’m able to breathe much better, and through both nostrils, consistently; it’s been so long since I could do that I’d forgotten what it was like. I believe I’m even sleeping better because of it. And it is QUIET, on the low setting I dare say silent. I kept looking at the blue light to be sure it was on. The only complaint: I got the activated carbon filter and, apparently during shipping, some of the black dust got into the container an left noticeable black marks on a few places on the outside of the filter case. I haven’t found any cleaner that will take them off yet, very stubborn. Oh, and the shipping was kind of slow.

Customer Review: Good buy..
I bought this flashlight after looking at many compact flashlights. I was using a MAG 3D flashlight. I wanted a more compact, lighter flashlight and one that would give me more light for a set of batteries. This one does all that. Only thing that could have been better is the focussing ring. Turning it does produce as good a change as in my MAG 3D. The light intensity is good for a flashlight of this size.
Customer Review: Works well
The xenon bulb does a good job of lighting up an area, considering that it is so small. The three LEDs put out sufficient light for a small area, just like most LEDs.

Customer Review: If you’re into disposable cleaning tools …
This worked well for a couple of years, then the batteries died. Replacement batteries are difficult if not impossible to find and customer service’s rude response was that “You can try to get the battery pack from Radio Shack or any local electronic retail store. We just know it may cost more for a new battery than purchasing a new machine.” The truth of the matter is that the local Radio Shack no longer bothers to carry such batteries. HOWEVER, I was able to purchase the raw materials for an exact replacement battery pack for $7.40, with assembly time of about 15 minutes.
Customer Review: Doesn’t last very long!
I have had several of these. The only reason I keep replacing them is that they are rechargeable and I don’t have to deal with a cord. However, I’ve purchased my last one. They quit working or start to fall apart right after the warranty runs out. I lucked up one time and got a warranty replacement, but, for the price, there are others out there I’d be willing to try before buying another. They do a good job, but they are expensive for something that only lasts a year.

Andis RC-2 Ionic 1875W Ceramic Hair Dryer with Folding Handle and Retractable Cord 1875 Watt Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer with Retractable Cord/Folding H Find a wide variety of Hair Care Products at drugstore.com, where you get 5% back and free shipping!
Customer Review: Good dryer except for the warranty
The dryer does a good job as a dryer. The retracting feature on the cord failed within a couple of months. Andis warranty requires that the buyer pays for shipping it in, plus $6.50 to cover their handling. That should come to about the cost of buying a new one. Which I won’t. I will go with another brand that really backs their products.
Customer Review: Great Dryer
I have been using my new hair dryer for a few months now. I bought it because of the folding handle and retractable cord ( neither of which has caused me any trouble) but what most impresses me is how quickly it dries my hair, even my daughter who has enough hair for 10 people was impressed with it’s speed of drying her hair.
