OT keep me away from Woot
Comments (18)Karen woot is cool but I need more. LOL I need my deal catcher. I am done shopping for Christmas but still checking. MS Zune $ 99.99 wow. SJN just trimming up my plants. They Had limbs on the ground. One plant made 100+ I hate to throw anything away. I already had 15-20 pots filled with starts. What to do direct plant. I am sure at least 25% will survive. I stick them 12-18" deep so they have constant moisture. Might have to wear a gas mask at full moon or dig and give. I have had real good results using the Cut and plant. Too funny gardening games. "Brugmansia the Game" 1st person grower. (Big grin)...See Morevacuums: riccar or miele, upright or canister?
Comments (10)After years with a Dyson, I was getting frustrated with the fact that I couldn't go in small places (under a bed etc...) and decided to switch to a canister. So I decided to go all out and bought the Miele Capricorn...oh my! So that's what it's like to vacuum! The Dyson was no slouch but the Miele is in a different league all together. First, the quality of the material is first grade, much better plastics that the Dyson. The Capricorn allows you to change the power from the handle (6 settings if I recall) from full power, to quiet mode, to vacuuming your curtains without sucking them. It is pretty quiet even on full power, much more quiet than my Dyson. I personally prefer a canister because of its maneuverability. It's much lighter to pull and operate than an upright and can go behind tight spaces and under the bed (finally!) The only downside is you will need two different brushes for your floors (I have both too). On the upside, they're very easy to change, and you can control the brush for the carpet from the handle as well (on the capricorn anyway) so you can turn off the rotating brush without moving your hand when your reach the fringes of a rug for example. I do love those control buttons on the handle. A friend of mine just bought a capricorn as well and had the same reaction: I wish I would have bought this a long time ago! It's like vacuuming for the first time. And that's coming from a Dyson! Great quality, fantastic power, super quiet and very light. Expensive, but like every Miele product, you do get what you pay for....See MorePet Hair & Vacuums . . . Argh!!!!!
Comments (35)So far I like our recently purchased Miele Marin. We had a Kenmore Progressive canister vac. Still have it, but it's now DH's "shop vac" of sorts--he kept using it to vacuum up Sheetrock dust and sawdust while working on house projects anyway. The Kenmore is heavy, the canister as well as the hose and power head. DH is supposed to do the vacuuming, but I ended up doing it more often than not, and I always ended up with an aching back. The Miele is soooo much lighter and easier to maneuver, too. It came with a hardwood floor brush, and you can choose one of three power heads (at different price options). We chose the one that is recommended for low pile carpet. It has a button to turn the roller brush on/off. The other two power heads would have been more aggressive on the carpeting (and more $). Only two rooms in our house are carpeted, with Berber carpeting, so we chose based on that. We considered a model with a suction-only, multi-surface head, but it seemed to require much more "elbow grease" on the part of the user (me!) in order to move it across the carpet (in-store try-out, and another brand's loaner vacuum on our carpet at home). Also, multiple passes over the carpet still left behind what needed vacuuming up, including grains of cat litter tracked into the room....See MoreBirkenstock sandals on Woot clearance sellout!
Comments (15)Many of the Woot "deals" aren't that great, but many of them are really good. And every so often they have "Woot-Offs" which is where a product is "up" until it sells out then another product is immediately put up until it sells out and is replaced by yet another product, etc., etc. You never know how many of each product is available, so sometimes it sells out extremely quickly, and other times it takes hours and hours... They also have a limit (usually 3) on the number of each item that you can buy, but the good thing is that the shipping is only $5, no matter what you buy, how heavy it is, or how many you buy. An example of what I thought was a good Woot offer/purchase --- my iPad Air came with a 1-meter (a bit over 3 feet) Lightning cable. I wanted a 2-meter (slightly over 6.5 feet) cable, which is $29 when purchased directly from Apple. From time to time Woot has them, and they are $15.99 for a two-pack of the 2-meter cables, and sometimes they have 3-packs for $23.99 (they both work out to $7.99 per cable). I've also purchased additional Apple 12W USB power adapters ($19 from Apple) for $8.99 from Woot. Oh, there was the Apple EarPods with remote and mic ($29 from Apple) that Woot had for $22.99 for a two-pack. Yes, they are brand new, genuine Apple EarPods, cables and power adapters....See More
