Mister Steamy

URL: mistersteamy.com
Does it work? Kinda of a bust

After a couple of uses, I stopped using the product. In my opinion, the clothes smelled a little musty.  There may be a small difference in wrinkles, but it’s hard to tell for sure.  The big difference, is the amount of noise from the dryer.  I also worry about the durability of the item.  The balls seems to get awful soft, I worry about it staining items in the dryer.

As in other TV products, I wonder again about the physics of the claim made in the commercial.  I'm far from a physicist, but  I think the steam point of water is higher than the avg temp of the typically American dryer. (Can you imagine putting your hand in a dryer of clothes at 200 degrees?) Does steam get created or is it just adding moisture to the drying process?

Swivel Sweeper G2

Since many people have the original, the easiest way to review is to compare it to the original.  For the most part is the same. It a light weight sweeper best for hardwood floors. There are small improvments is the design, for example, the dirt holder is in an improvement over the orginal.

However, it seems to be a little less studier than the orginal.  Also, after a couple of month the battery doesn't seem to last as long.
