DragonWC99 posted:I'm looking for a really nice Juicer! Any recommendations? Keep in mind that CR generally lags behind about a model generation on their recommendations, especially for poo poo they review rarely (like juicers). Having said that, they like this one for price/performance: http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-67650-Mouth-Extractor/dp/B000FHQJ6C And the "Juiceman Pro JM503" model tops the list. I don't see that model currently available from Amazon, but this one looks close although it's $70 cheaper than the list price in the CR review: http://www.amazon.com/Juiceman-JM550S-Wide-Mouth-Automatic-Extractor/dp/B004T0BJK2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1310742051&sr=8-7 They HATE the Jack LaLanne & Waring models. The latter surprised me as Waring is king of the hill for commercial blenders.

Looking for a good vacuum cleaner that is under $100.00. This will be for an average one bedroom apartment. Carpet in living room/bedroom. The two I've narrowed it down to on amazon are: http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-3276BV...d=2KWCXGEGF0PJN and http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Cleanview-Upright-Cleaner-82H1/dp/B00284BM3A/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1FW1JL127UN3K&colid=2KWCXGEGF0PJN Are either of these good? Any recommendation for something better?

Don't know anything about Bissell, but the Eureka I originally had (It was around $100 or so at Target) and just tossed was a PoS. Granted, it was a cheap vacuum, but it didn't work well at all. I prefer Dirt Devil for cheap vacuums. I had a really small one in Florida. It was loud but sucked up drat near anything and was super easy to clean. unfortunately, my roommate destroyed it.

Are there any CFL bulbs that are actually dimmable? The one I have now was marketed as dimmable, but at the lowest dimmer setting it's 80% as bright as full power. With my old incandescent bulb, it was more like 5% full power.

cannonballs posted:Also, here's a recommendation for all of you cat owners: I have one of these too, and I like it a lot. Be warned that if you let it go too long without cleaning it, it will punish you (the more urine that builds up, the less easy it is to get out of there), but that's what you get for being a bad cat parent, isn't it? That said, I much prefer it to the old treasure-hunt method of litterbox cleaning. If you are responsible enough to remember to clean it within a reasonable amount of time, it is really easy. It's also not too expensive, so it's a nice compromise if you're like me and you can't afford one of those awesome kitty rocketships like all the cool goons have. Also throwing in a recommendation for World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn so it's biodegradable and it's not stinky and you don't have to worry if your cat licks it off his toes like with clay litters. Also seems to contain odor pretty well too. It's good stuff!

Silverfish and cockroaches will try to eat that litter though, so if you're having problems with bugs it isn't the best choice.

My cat refuses to use the litter robot (no idea why...maybe doesn't like climbing up to it?), but is fine with the omega paws. The omega paws works pretty great other than not being completely automated. I bought a Litter Locker to go along with it,which I would also recommend.

I've heard that fussier cats don't like these and they're not great for multiple cat homes because it essentially rubs kitty poo and pee odor all over the inside of the box. It's like taking a poo in your bathroom, if your walls were covered in remnants of your own feces and urine.

If it's all carpet you're good to go, it's awful on hardwood/hard floors though (just throws poo poo around). The filter is also cleanable.

I recently tried this wood-shaving type litter, but this box doesn't work as well with it. I've been extremely satisfied with my fancy new cat shitter so far.

I have 3 cats, 2 of them larger breeds, and they have no issues sharing a box together. One of them is a little fussy, and he doesn't mind it. I guess it helps that I clean it every day instead of every 3 or so days when I was lazy. I do use about 2" of the walmart brand of the fresh step with the odor eliminating crystals.

There's a Sharp or some odd brand of vacuum that my parents have that would suck anything that'd fit up, and not complain about it. The only down side I've noticed about my Bissell is how often I have to empty it; I take it as a good sign that it's sucking a lot up. I'd say for every room I cleaned, I'd have to empty it. That's coming from a room shared with 3 cats who shed somewhat.

Bissel also make a carpet washing type dealy for a decent price that I have - which is perfect for dealing with the occasional cat-sick stain or coffee stain (if you get to it on time). I have used it to freshen up really awful ten year old carpet that had like 5 kids grow up on it. (and throw up too by the looks of it). It isn't as powerful as the steam based ones or the carpet genies you hire but I got mine for under 200 and it's handy to have around. Gets an amazing amount of cat hair out of the carpet but really does not like long carpet or carpet that is quite frayed (it gets stuck in the rollers). When I go over the carpet from the front door the water coming out of it is pitch black, bleck. I live with slobs who've never heard of a no-shoes policy much less wiping their loving boots before they stomp on in. If you live with slobs you might consider it a useful tool! It gets the carpet pretty dang dry too nearly as dry as when I've had it steam cleaned. But it is a loving LOUD cleaner and holyjesus does it ever take a long time to clean a tiny bit of carpet. Probably the more expensive ones are better but hell it's cost vs usage compared to pro-jobs I guess.

That sort of sounds like the "steam cleaner" I have. You mix the cleaning solution with hot water, which in my case is about 130 degrees, spray it out, and vacuum it up. Even though it doesn't heat the water, and normally by the time I'm actually where I need to clean it's down to around a hundred degrees, the amount of stuff it removes is amazing. I had a koolaid packet accidentally spilled, and ground into the floor (the mix, not the liquid) and it actually turned into a hard candy like substance. It took 2 or 3 passes, but it got it out so good that you could never tell what was there before. It does really well with cat stains, mainly puke, as well. I used some of the liquid for pet odors, and it really did make a difference with old cat urine as well.

I need a coffee table that will go in front of a loveseat. It must have something (either cabinets or a shelf) underneath it to keep my retarded dog from walking under it. (Seriously, my dog actually bruised a disc in his back from banging it on the edge of our current coffee table. He has cerebral palsy so I can forgive him for this, but we still have to accommodate him.) Anyway, we now need a second coffee table and would like something that's not too expensive but holds up well.

If it matters, I have really large ears/ears canal, and the iPhone headphones fall out once I start running. I have massive problems with earbuds falling out, but for the opposite reason. My ears are kind of small. That being said I think these from sony will fit big ears as well and they're stupid cheap. I've had 3 or 4 pairs of the same exact model and used them collectively for like 10 years. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000092YR6 That being said, I recently decided to see what else was out there and tried a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005N6KG They seem pretty good. Definitely no problems with them falling out of my ears since they have the part that goes over your head. I think I still prefer the others but honestly at $12 a pair you can't go wrong just to try them out. There's no reason to drop a ton of money on headphones for running if you don't need to for fit reasons.

The headphone jack on my phone died so I'm in the market for a NON-apple mp3 player. Preferably something between 8-16gb, 100-200$ AUD and no bigger than a full wallet, as I usually go running. Unfortunately no-one stocks creative ZENs in Australia any more and I'm looking for something more recent anyway.
