good bad or indifferent : product testing

I was lucky enough to experiance some of these high end can't live without suckers and wasn't all too impressed. The Shark, Hoover and Dyson were mine to use like I do everyday when cleaning.

hello there, in my 50 years I have seen changes in merchandise that is supposed to make our lives easier and more efficiant. I have also seen how some things aren't all they're cracked up to be. I'm here to share with the public merchandise that last, those that don't and the ones where I question "what were they thinking?" I'm an average guy that does housework, landscapes for fun and have 5 dogs to care. I'm not computer literate, no PHD and would like some things I use to last more that a week.

Join me in the good, bad or indifferent
