Does it work: Yahtzee!

Granted my feet are not probably the target audience (I have girly soft feet) I've conferred with other users and the general opinion seems to be if you have used other methods in the past, then this may not be a huge improvement. But if you are new users of these types of products then 'go for it; it does the job'

STEAM BUDDY

DOES IT WORK? Very short of expectations

Well, Billy Mays did it again. He sold me on another product. Unfortunately, this one is not really a winner. I have "issues" with ironing, I can't seem to do it. I was excited to have a contraption that would help in this area.

Button down shirts are the hardest for me; I can never seem to get the collar iron straight, let alone with a crease. I didn't expect to get creases with a steam iron, but it really didn't remove most of the wrinkles either. The steam does not last more than a couple of minutes, and I'm somewhat suspect of the quality of the product; it's a bit flimsy.

I plan on also checking out the other product in this area (the "tobi") so stayed tuned...

There seems to be somewhat of a technique to using the bags. Moisture is the enemy here; the produce and the bag should be dry for best results. I could be my imagination, but seemed depending on the produce it absorbed the plastic smell of the bag. Under the best circumstances and conditions the bags seem keep some produce such as apples and carrots fresher for longer.

MAGIC BULLET

DOES IT WORK? Okay

One of the big selling points from the infomercials is the easy for making of frozen drinks or smoothies. The good news here is that it does seem suited for this purpose. The mugs are easy to blend and serve. It also worked well for making whipped cream. Plus, the counter footprint is small.

The bad news is that the unit does not seem that sturdy; I'm not sure would hold up that great to regular use. Does not clean as easy as advertised. I have found my hand blender (which I love) or small regular blender just as easy to use. Tends to overheat, so use in short pulses.
