• Better than what I hoped for :-)

• Samira A. Elbekraoui Apr 15,11

Honestly, its the color I was looking for to go with my lavender room. I read some good reviews but I did read some not so good. I tried it for my self and it makes ironing easy and fun. It does not leak at all, it has a powerful steam option, and a self cleaner. I love it sooo much that I dont share it, my mom/dad family in the house they use the family iron that I used to use.

• The Ultimate Iron

• Alice B Jan 27,11

I normally buy Rowenta irons, but after my 2nd broke in less than a year i decided to try something new. This is by far the BEST iron Ive ever owned and for a fraction of the price! Ive never seen steam so powerful and the stainless steel soleplate glides like a dreaml! My clothes have never looked better, now I actually look forward to ironing!

• excellent purifier

• T Dec 29,12
• from Olympia,WA

I bought this purifier 5 years ago. This little guy has done wonders for air quality in my home. With 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 kids, it is invaluable. I vacuum the filter about once a month, because I can't remember to do it more often, and its probably gone longer than that. I run it all night for ambient noise, and all day so the dogs don't bark at every little thing while I'm at work. If its running, the house really smells clean. It gets a great deal of dust and animal hair out of the air despite my very frequent cleanings. This thing just keeps on going, I'm so impressed. It will stop running if knocked over or filter dislodges, so I trust it when I'm gone. Highly recommended.

• Good while it lasts...

• Jason Jul 11,12
• from La Verne,CA

I've went through a couple of these over the years. Mind you that I run these things almost 24/7, but they don't last like they used to. Even after a few months you can hear the difference - the motor lightly "squeaks" at times. If you can get your hands on an older "red logo" version you would be better off, but they are hard to find. Overall a great fan, but don't expect more than 5 years out of it.

• Paxs Nov 26,12
• from Culpeper,VA

I love this iron! It's the best one I've owned. I looked for a long time to find an iron that won't leak water all over my clothes and irons out wrinkles easily. This one is it. I also love the retractable cord.

• Best Iron - at ANY price!

• Robyn Feb 11,12
• from Chino Hills,CA

I am an avid seamstress and have gone through quite a few irons looking for the perfect one. I've tried everything from the very cheap to the way too expensive, and have never found one as good as this one! The steam comes out in a powerful burst that really sets a seam or releases wrinkles. It's just heavy enough to press seams well, but not so heavy that it feels bulky or is hard to work with. The retractable cord retracts nice and smoothly, rather than getting stuck repeatedly along the way like other irons I've had. I have the pink version, but the color doesn't really matter. What DOES matter is that you won't find a better iron at any price point than this one.

• Good for beginners and advanced

• Mrs. Heckle Jan 23,13
• from Indianapolis,IN

Right out of the box, this machine was easy to use. Threading the machine and bobbin is so super easy. The drop in bobbin is a HUGE plus. The fact that is comes with a "case" -its just a cover you slide over the top, but it works! was also a nice feature. For someone that "knows what they're doing" yet at the same time still has no clue, I am VERY happy with this machine. I've heard complaints about the light not being bright enough, but I don't find this an issue at all. I tend to keep the overhead lights on when I sew, so... yeah, not a big deal. I've hemmed jeans and made some purses, and hemmed a couple skirts and dress slacks, etc.. and its worked perfect. Ad far as how loud it is, I think its actually pretty quiet. It does chug when you sew through multiple layers of demin, but what machine wouldn't? I love this machine and am VERY happy this is the one I went with.

• Excellent Sewing Machine! Easy to use!

• S. Miller Jan 22,12
• from Alexandria,VA

Let me tell you....I am brand new to sewing, but after finding the right machine,THIS ONE, I have the confidence of a well-seasoned professional. [...] I then decided to do some research and found this Brother 6000i to have such excellent reviews that I had to give it a try. WOW-I LOVE IT! Target is my favorite place to shop, so I happily ordered it online and received it even before the estimated arrival time. It is so easy to use and is a great value. Mine came with the extended sewing table and hard cover which was a bonus, plus I got 5 percent off and free shipping with my Target card! Overall, this was an excellent purchase and I would recommend this machine to anyone, beginner or advanced sewer.

• Love this quiet little A/C

• Kayak Michigan Jul 6,10

This is a great AC unit for my second story 12x14 bedroom. Heat has been in the 90's and we stay very cool all night. It is very quiet, I can hear my tv from across the room while this is cranked on high.

• overall

• Not a bad little unit.

• Frank T Jun 7,11

Bought this in Summer of 2010, for a second story spare bedroom being used as a computer/hobby room. It gets quite hot on the second floor, even with 24" of insulation in the attic. This unit has been a real money saver, as it takes quite a bit of effort for the central air to reach the opposite end of the house comfortably. So instead of of cranking the Central air down to 32 so it would be 75 in the PC room, we opted for this window unit. It cools efficiently enough for a warm PC room. I would have rated it a 5, but the "Energy Saving" mode is puzzling at best. All in all, money very well spent. My condolences for those that had problems. I'm smiling all the way to the bank!!!

• beginners first machine

• sb Dec 23,12
• from Brooklyn,NY

overall I think this is a pretty good machine. once you get to sit down with it for a few hours it's quite simple and easy to use. but! this is my first owned machine in years, so learning everything all over again was a little confusing, but I managed everything easily. !!READ THE MANUAL!! that aside, I LOVE IT. I feel like the speed dial isn't that sensitive because it easily jerks up in speed despite me being as gentle/slow as possible. good stitches, easy removal and swapping of feet, etc. I think the monogram function is actually a pretty nice touch. now if only it were usb compatible!

• Little Power Charged Heater!

• Misstran Apr 14,11

When it got here, I thought it is sooo little! I thought it would be as large as those tower fans, but ladies and gentlemen, size does not matter. It is an extremely great space heater. Haven't gotten the power bill yet so I don't know if its saving us a ton from heating the whole house, but I would assume it is. Our heater is ancient and needs replacement so until we can save our lucky pennies, we're just moving this little guy around to heat our rooms. The fan feature is pretty convenient as well. So far this product has exceeded my expectation. Probably gonna buy 2 more.

• In love with my Shark

• M. McCarty Sep 21,12
• from Denver,CO

I've had this Shark steam mop for well over a year and it is still going strong. It is easy to store, easy to operate and works with tap water. [...............] Works on my hard wood, tile and carpet with ease. I put a few drops of essential oil on the mop pad and it makes the whole house smell fabulous as I mop. Mopping used to be a terrible chore that never really got the floors clean, not anymore!! Highly recommend.

• overall

• Excellent - but use DISTILLED water - not TAP

• Helen Aug 30,12
• from buffalo,NY

I love my shark. If people would take time to read the directions, it does tell you to use DISTILLED water, not tap water, because the mineral and calcium deposits will build up, eventually blocking the steam spout. When that happens, yes, you will hear a loud popping sound. I learned the hard way ... because I did NOT read the directions the first time around.

I just had a baby 13 days ago and i came home and was able to mop my floors days after a c-section. Easy to use products and i have nothing but linolium floors and they are older and u can tell they come clean it would work great on floors that had previously been taken care of. I love my shark mop and the pads are sturdy in the wash just toss in washer and done. I am also a renter so carting laundry to laundry mat so i bought a few and glad i did easy to use for spills and messes!!

• Has lasted 11 years! Cleans great!

• Kimberly Mar 6,13
• from Virginia Beach,VA

I know some want to knock this cleaner but I have had mine at least 11 years. I hated the old bladder container so I hope they have a newer better container when I buy a new one, but over all it has been a very good cleaner. I bought mine in 2003 and it is just now acting a bit cloggy in 2013 so I guess it is time for a new one, but I got my money's worth out of it as I have cleaned many a room/stairway/sofa with it. The carpet dries pretty well afterwards and you can use almost any cleaner with it.

• It was bound to happen

• Richy Jan 20,13

I ve had mines since 12/2010 and it worked fine. I have a small dog that misses the wee pad at times and a Daughter whos hair wraps around the brush after a while... I have had to take the brush off, to remove the hair at times... Now the water doesn't spray out the bottom, i assume the hole is clog since the spray attachment does work. I found a suggestion on the site that you should fill the tank with PLAIN warm/hot water and flush the system after use with cleaning formula / fluid as this may dry over time and cause clogging. All in All.. i was very happen for 2 years Hope this comment helps for the next person

• Breathing has greatly improved.

• Nancy Nov 28,11
• from Springtown,TX

As a COPD sufferer, air quality is critical. I started with 1 unit and within a few weeks, I went back and purchased 3 more units. I even placed 1 unit in the garage. What a difference....only wish I'd known about these several years ago. I strongly recommend these for those with Asthma / COPD / pneumonia / chronic bronchitis / Emphysema and other breathing disorders.

• No cool spots

• kelinrke Jan 16,12

I have used this heater for 3 years now. I don't understand all the negative reviews. This heater out performs any of the other heaters. This heater heats the "whole" room as it says without the cold spots associated with the way other heaters work. Also, the company backs up their products. You have to realize the way this heater works, and not to expect hot air to blow from it like other heaters. In saying this, it warms up the whole room. Something you won't find any other heaters do. Also, this is suppose to be used as a supplemental heater,and not a sole source of heat. Some people's expectations are unrealistic when it comes to "room heaters'. thumbs up to Vornado! Thank you! your heaters are great.

I needed a new hand vac dust buster and compared many items before I purchased this one. The suction is very, very strong and the battery has not worn down after a lot of use. I like that it's wall mounted and light weight. Not all models are wall mounted. The canister is easy to empty and the filter is long lasting. I use it to vacuum my car, cupboards, hard to reach places and many other uses. I highly recommend this product.

• so far so good

• JJety Dec 16,10

I've owned the Alen A350 for only a couple weeks but so far it's doing a great job. There's 4 settings for speed - at 3 and 4 it it's loud but you use that for only a short time and then run on speed 1 or 2 to maintain the room. At 1 or 2 it's an unnoticeable background noise which is actually kind of nice when you're sleeping. I move it from room to room every few days, it's light and easy to carry. Filters seem very easy to change. Not sure if it's helped our allergies or not - we'll see come summer time.

• Worth every penny

• Mrs. Rowan G. Sep 8,09

I bought two of these units for my parents' home ... my mother suffers from asthma and my Dad is plagued with seasonal allergies. I placed one upstairs by their bedrooms - and one downstairs by the living room/kitchen - and the difference is remarkable. My mother says she even sleeps better and can breathe all the way in with one breath - while my Dad isn't a complete mess from his allergies to grass, pollen, and the great outdoors. Sure - the A350 cost a little more ... but my parents are worth it. : )

• Best Vacuum Ever!

• Tiffany Mar 7,12
• from Burbank,CA

For many years, I bought bag-less vacuums and they would break consistently every year. I have had this vacuum for 2 years now and it works as well as the day I bought it. I also have severe allergies and the bagged vacuum really keeps all of those allergens self contained when I have to change the bag. The bags last a very long time for a person living in an apartment with 2 cats. I bought 1 extra box of bags and I still have some left. The vacuum is lightweight and thin so it is easy to lift and store, but it is very powerful. When I purchased it, it was [$] cheaper but didn't have the canister or the attachments so I am a bit jealous that I don't have those features. But I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a small and powerful vacuum at a reasonable price.

• overall

• I love this vacuum!

• Teresa Apr 25,10

I have always had bagless uprights, and never really was satisfied with any of them. I LOVE this vacuum. Each time I vacuum it fluffs the carpet a little bit more, and this carpet is well worn in the high traffic areas. I had just vacuumed with the old vacuum right before buying this one. I immediately had to take it for a test drive once we got it home. The old vacuum had left so much behind that by the time I got done I had to change the bag. For those that give low ratings because they can't find the bag...I have found the bags at other stores. Since that intial use with the vacuum...I haven't had to change the bag again. So they must last quite a while once they pick up everything the old vac left behind!

I live in Florida and a air conditioner is practically a must have in your house. This unit not only fulfilled my need, but it went over the top. When I first installed and turned on the unit sure it was a little loud but it cooled down the house in almost a heartbeat. I originally got this unit to get rid of the central air that came with the house, but was sucking my wallet dry. Now my bill is down andI am happy! Get it if you can, you won't go wrong.

• Bryce May 5,12

I travel 8 months out of the year for work, and I bought this - skeptically - to take with me when I'm traveling for work. I have to say, I'm extremely impressed. It's small enough to fit in my suitcase, it's very very quiet with the exception of a small rattling sound on high - but it's not bad enough to bother me, and probably a result of being thrown around airplane baggage claims. I suffer from serious allergies, this is the first thing I unpack when I check into a hotel. I can tell a difference. If you suffer from allergies, this is a must-have.

Having gone toTarget looking for a hand vac and seeing this one on sale for [$] and getting the last one on the shelf I was excited about my purchase. Love the light weight and slim design my favorite feature is the hook on the handle which hangs great on the wire shelf in the laundry room above the washer and also the small battery charger. It is like a phone charger, no cradle to sit in just a simple charger. The canister is smaller so will need emptied more often. So far after using daily for a week it works great has great suction. Would I vacuum my entire kitchen with this? No. But for quick clean ups it works great! We vaccum tracked in grass in the laundry room and quick pick ups in the bathroom. I also went over the floor mats in the car not a deep clean but got up the majority of tracked in grass and gravel. So far very happy with vac. very happy with price I paid feel like I got a great deal!

• Singer blue/brown carrying case

• Iva Jun 20,12
• from Evansville,IN

I purchased this for Singer 4411 heavy duty machine at local Target store. At first I thought it does not fit, but after moving the closing grooves left and right it closed nice. It also fits my older Singer 2732 machine. The metal clasps inner prongs were loose and sharp. I hammered inner prongs so they do not stick out, and case was sturdy then. Online dimensions are off. I measured OUTSIDE dimensions. 14.75in H with handle, 13.125in H without handle, 19.5in L, 10.625in W. INSIDE dimensions are approximately 17 to 17.5in L, 8.5 to 9in W. First dimension is perfect fit second is stretching it to the limit. The inner height I am guessing. There is concave depression under the handle that from the outside is 0.75in deep which would make case about 12in H in the middle, but the sides are higher. Corners are little less than 12.125in H with highest spot of 12.5in H, which would accommodate for that bobbin winder and spool pin. Case itself is very sturdy. I would recommend this product.

This was purchased for our loft area upstairs. We have an older home and with the 100 plus temps in Texas it was getting to be unbearable. I can turn this AC unit on and within minutes it cools down the entire area. I did order a second unit for our master bedroom as well. These are alittle noisy but then so are window units. We went with this so as to not destroy the outward appearance of our older home. We do not like the look of window units from the outside. These are easy to install however I would also adise anyone using this unit to make sure you insulate the area around your windows.

• M. Chilson Aug 14,08

I bought this last summer for the short-lived heatwaves we get every year in Seattle. I don't have to use it often/for long periods, but when I do need it - it's great. It keeps my room cool (whichever room I'm in - living room, computer room, bedroom) and I love the ion feature. The timer is nice, too, especially when falling asleep. I can set it to stay on for a few hours to turn off right around the time the outside air finally cools down (again, I'm in Seattle - it usually doesn't stay hot all night long here, so I just leave the window open and nature takes over when this turns off). It's easy to use, easy to move from room to room, and easy to store when cooler days roll around. Oh, and my dogs love it, too!

I purchased this steamer mainly for the crease attachment and because I thought it would put out more steam than my little Conair travel steamer. My Conair travel steamer gets wrinkles out much easier and faster than this larger, heavier steamer. Depending on your needs, I recommend purchasing the conair travel steamer for quick touchups and a full size garment steamer for everyday use on delicate items such as suits, silk blouses, wool trousers, etc.

I have been dying for a fabric steamer. I got this because I heard it was great and it was. I produced a lot of steam and all my clothes were done in no time. Until it stopped working. I haven't done anything different or dropped it and now it leaks hot water from the nozzle and doesn't produce ANY steam. Very disappointed.
