The Laundry POD, Silver

Good Washer for the Effort
Unlike most people I find that I like this item a lot. Sure it takes some work (agitating/spin cycle) and a bit larger wouldn't be bad but overall I like to use this product. On a usual wash I can clean up to 10 shirts (weeks worth plus some) and a little less for something like jeans. I know the other reviews say that it is a lot of work but I can't imagine what process you're going through to were you're out of breath using this machine. As for time it takes ~30 mins if you're paranoid but less is fine. It cleans just the same as a regular washer (people have to pre-treat stains for mechanical washers too) and saves on energy, space, money, and helps out the environment. I really don't know why you wouldn't get this to AT LEAST supplement your current washer (I use it for everything).

Too small, doesn't get clothes clean or dry.
This product will only wash a very small amount. If I attempted to wash any of my husband's clothing I could only wash up to 2 shirts at a time. It takes a lot of force to try and do the spinning on this and the clothes don't get clean enough. If you have a stain on something you'll have to wash the item in the sink so you can scrub at the stain as this device will not remove it. I also found that the 'spin' cycle to drain the water took so much effort my arms were dead tired and the clothes were still very wet. I found that just wringing them out by hand worked far better to remove water. The inner basket also tends to slip a bit and scratch up the interior plastic. Overall, it's not worth the cost at all as I found washing clothes by hand in the sink easier and better.

Not worth it
I thought this would be great for the RV, however.....
The concept is wonderful, the drain is slow. You can't spin it enough to be able to line dry in one day. I've tried really agitating it for 30 mins or so, yes it was very tiring and the clothes just didn't get clean.

METAL WARE - NESCO SNACKMASTER EXPRESS DEHYDRATOR PERP

A Blessing for Cooks and Gardeners
I grow, literally, 50 or so different varieties of herbs of all sorts, from the common place to the exotic. Drying them was always a process, and I always seemed to lose them to mold, mildew, or those that I kept were brown and unattractive looking. Then, as a gift, my husband bought me this dehydrator because he was told it'd dry herbs.

This little gadget has turned into just about the most important gadget I have in my kitchen. It's practically in-use everyday from May to November, dehydrating everything from my precious herbs, to apples, tomatoes, jerky, and all manner of fruit and flower. This dehydrator has literally saved me hundreds of dollars, not only because I can make my own jerky, fruit roll-ups, and dried fruits for everything from trail mix to healthy snacks, but because vegetables from the garden that were left to rot because we couldn't otherwise keep them (and there wasn't enough to can) are now being saved, and every last one of my herbs, even some...

Wonderful
I love my new Nesco FD-60 dehydrator. My first month I probably spent $300 in fruit and meat trying all sorts of recipes and fruit-roll mixture.
However I recommend buying from Walmart. Their price is about $45. Also, I wouldn't recommend buying expansion trays because 4 trays cost about $30 but a new dehydrator for $45 includes 4 trays and a fruit roll sheet (>$4 value)plus the usefullness of a backup or second dehydtation unit.
That aside, beef jerky, dried fruits and homemade fruit rolls are wonderful and easy with this unit. Much better IMHO than using the oven (safer, faster, more cost effiecient).

Absolutely love this machine, Beef jerky heaven.
This is the second food dehydrator I have owned, and I must say that this one is a great investment and value. My other machine was a lower priced model from another company, and takes longer to work. This machine is quiet and fast. The beef jerky recipe is great, or you can buy the optional jerky gun from Nesco and use their mix packets. About 3 LBS of ground beef and the jerky gun will fill this machine and be done in about 4 hours. I have made about 12 batches over the past year with this machine, and it is reliable and consistent. Unless you do tons of fruit or jerky, buying a larger model is just not worth it. For the causual user like me, this is the best model. Dishwasher safe clean up of trays as well (takes some maneuvering though to fit them in).

Holmes HLH4422EE-WM Low Profile Heater with Digital Control

Great product
Works great. Many levels of heat and fan-even eco. Quiet and efficient. Not expensive on electric. Better than I expected.

Mine works on the first day!
Not too cold yet in the low 50s but seemed to work. All the heat rises, no forward projection because there's no fan which is good because its silent. It works by naturally blending with the other room air.

We will see when it gets cold, but I expect it will be fine.

This is a cheap ineffective excuse for a heater
Used twice, third time the control pad would not turn on. Pure Junk from China that is not worth even looking at.

Whirlpool Humidistat Control 1168670

Much better way to fix the humidistat
The humidistat failed on my furnace humidifier just out of warranty. I checked for a replacement for the complete humidistat unit and found them to be very expensive. I did some checking on Amazon and found the humidistat only - not the entire unit with the dial and cover. I ordered it and found with some simple wiring changes inside the cover I was back in business and it works well.

A very cost effective repair. The component looked to be the same manufacturer as the original factory part.

It works as advertised
Installation instructions would be a welcome addition. The second time I had it in correctly to match the dial face.

It works, but....
Be careful as this control is direct acting meaning that turning the controller to the right causes the switch to make and turn on. When the humidity goes up the switch closes. It is for a DE humidifier not a humidifier. It does not tell you this in the information so as usual it did not work in my application. I was able to turn it around and make it work with a 24 volt AC IDEC relay which I already had. If you are making a direct replacement, be sure to double check the part number against the one you are replacing first before ordering. If you are not replacing the part directly, be aware of the differences in the word "humidistat" which could mean almost anything.

So just saying "humidistat control" don't tell you much unless you are able to cross reference the part numbers, which I was unable to do.
The good humidistats have a single pole double throw switch so they will operate either way. But not these cheapo OEM humidistat and they are cheap. The one I had just...

Aqua Air Purifier

Best air purifier/humifier for price!
I have used mine for two winters and find it to be easy to fill, small enough to have room for it on my dresser, and happy to have the air cleaned and humidity added as an added bonus! It really is a nifty little machine. I will buy another one when this one goes. I like to use it for only when I sleep. Works great!

It's quiet and works amazing with essential oils.
This is a wonderful aromatherapy dispenser, which also cleans the air, it works just like a Rainbow Rainmate, but way more quiet.You will love it.
