Eliminate tough dirt and grime with the cleaning power of steam. The BDXSMV190 controls easily switch between functions so you can vacuum and steam at the same time or separately. A large capacity dustbin and powerful steam boiler enable effective one step cleaning. Leave your home sparkling clean!

The only negatives that we found with this steam mop and vaccum is the length of the cord, we really need it to be longer as we have an open floor plan and have to keep moving it to get the whole of the downstairs done and the size of the tank, again because we have a large area so we need to fill it often. The steamer takes seconds to heat up and you can really see the difference in the cleanliness of the floor. It is good that it comes with two mop heads and they are easy to clean - just throw them in the washer. It moves easily between the floor and carpet with just a push of a button to go from steamer to vaccum. This is great for an open floor plan which has both hardwood floors and area carpets. My suggestion to Black & Decker is to consider that many people have open floor plans and they may want to incorporate a longer cord, make it cordless and also a larger water tank. Otherwise, we are very happy with the B&D steamer mop and vaccum.

The Shark Steam & Scrub scrubbing and sanitizing* steam mop gently scrubs and sanitizes* all at once. The combination of steam and rotating pads delivers up to 2x better stuck-on stain removal vs. traditional steam mops** on sealed hard floors. This deeper cleaning removes dust, residue, grease, and bacteria while providing chemical-free sanitization*.

One of the problems we've had at my church with Covid is sanitizing the hardwood floor of our church hall. This is an old church and so, old floors. I got this for the hardwood floors at my home but thought that it could be used for the church in the hopes that we could use less chemicals yet still sanitize as much as we need it. Our sexton is in heaven. Not only has she found the floors much cleaner using this but she believes that the floors are getting sanitized much better. There's no residue on the floors from using the commercial chemical cleaners and, as she says, the hall just smells much cleaner. She loves that dried food residue easily gets scrubbed up but that it also gets into those little areas where the floor isn't completely even so she no longer is on her hands and knees making sure those areas are clean. Needless to say, the church is now the proud owner of it's own Shark Steam and Scrub.

This webcam is really hard for me to rate. It has less to do with the quality of the webcam as it does the quality vs. price consideration I generally give items I buy. I got this webcam as the monitor I bought when mine died is basic, no camera, no microphone, no speakers, nothing but it was the only monitor available that fit the space. So, I wanted a basic webcam as more and more events are being done on-line. As a basic webcam, I'm happy with it. It installed quickly and easily and the directions, while very small type, were succinct. I can do video chats with no difficulty, the sound and picture quality is good and I especially like that I can cover the camera part quickly in case a little one decides to run naked through the room. It sits easily on the monitor and has a space underneath where you can put it on a tripod. It is easy to tell if the webcam is powered on and whether it is in use. The problem is whether it is worth the asking price. Now, it is doing the job I want it to do so it comes down to whether the buyer feels that the webcam is worth the price. It really is an individual decision. I recommend the webcam based on the fact that it is doing the job I want it to do.

For some reason, I thought this was about half the size it actually is. It's big and takes up some room on a nightstand. That was the con, for me. Otherwise, I liked everything else about it. On the lowest fan setting, I could not even hear that it was running. On the highest, it sounded like a normal fan. I like that you can program it to run for 2, 4 or 8 hours and can decide if you want it to be a nightlight when it runs. It cooled down my bedroom on the high fan setting and the air is noticeably cleaner. I'm allergic to the family cat who, of course, insists on sneaking into my room and sleeping on my bed. This week I did not have burning, itching eyes after trying to read in bed for a couple of hours. Nice. Now that I've rearranged things on my nightstand to fit it, I'm very happy with this air purifier.

We were looking for a laptop that would be portable yet hold up to regular work. The ASUS fits. The set up was quick and easy and adding additional software was no problem, well from the laptop perspective, do not get me started on my recent internet connection issues, darn squirrels. It is lightweight so is easy to carry from work to home and the touchpad eliminates the need for a mouse if you prefer not to carry one with you. The keys have a good solid feel to them so typing reports is quick and easy. The screen is a nice size as well. Overall, we're happy with this laptop and confident it will hold up and do that job we want it to do.

I've been diagnosed with light sensitivity so have tried various devices in the past. They all "work" to some degree but not enough for me to rely on them, particularly during seasonal changes which affect light. I believe I found the exception. First, it is ready to go right out of the box. Second, the instruction manual is wonder as it explains what light therapy does and also points out that people are different and how to find what is the right settings for you. Most I already knew but this also taught me some things I didn't. There are three light settings and the amount of light does make a difference. I find that I do best with two sessions, one in the morning and one when I get home from work. When I do the afternoon session I don't feel the need to take a nap anymore but rather can stay awake until bedtime. That leads to bedtime. Due to not taking that nap, I'm now tired at a reasonable time and it isn't taking me an hour or more to fall asleep. I also find I sleep longer so am really getting rest. The morning session helps wake me up and, while nothing will make me a morning person, I find after the session I do have more energy to get the day started. While the real test for me will be the Autumn time, even this week, with the lack of sun due to rain, I find that I'm responding with more energy and less depression than would be expected from past experience. It will take a bit of trial and error to determine the best light density in certain situations but, for once, I'm optimistic that I have found a solution to the devastating effects of light sensitivity.

This went into my adult daughter's room (studio really) as, while everyone in the house has allergies, hers are the worst. She had no problems downloading the app and said it was quite easy to connect it to wifi and her phone. She loves that there is an auto feature that regulates things depending on the air quality in the room. Given that we have forced air in our home and have grandchildren who visit that would give Pigpen a run for his money as to who has more dust trailing them, this is a huge benefit. So far, the fan is fairly quiet at all the settings she's tried and are not disruptive. She's been able to sleep now without waking up all stuffed up and finding it hard to breathe. She noticed a real difference in the amount of dust and dander that are no longer showing up in her room. The filter is quite easy to change but I wonder if there is a filter that also includes carbon so that odors can be eliminated along with the air particles. That would be a treat. So far, we haven't found one con as this air purifier does everything advertised.

For on-the-GO peace of mind. Use UV light with or without a vacuum function so you can safely clean your phone, car and plane seat, hotel room, luggage and more.

This handheld is ultra light so it is good for people who find other handhelds a bit heavy to use. This is not for the bigger jobs, the bin is too small but it is great to get dust, crumbs and pet hair which, at our house, is a necessity. It takes a bit to charge - 3 hours - and you get 30 minutes of use, which is fine if you are using it for small jobs on normal power. However, if you need the power vacuum part, that time goes down. Apparently you can buy a second battery that you can switch out which is something I plan to look into. In order to use the UV setting, it must be on a flat surface and stay in place for 5 seconds for it to be effective. The problem is, how to know it is effective. RayCop does have a report on their website which is favorable, it would be nice if there were more out there for comparison. It is easy to assemble and break down and I do like that it comes with the case to store it. It makes it easy to take in the car on road trips and clean up after the kids get through eating in the car. As with most cordless handheld anything, whether you like it or not may depend on what you intend to use it for. If you want a quick pick-up tool which also allows for sanitizing surfaces, you may wish to seriously consider this product.

The Roomba 600 series robot vacuum is a great way to begin cleaning your home smarter. It learns your cleaning habits and then offers up custom cleaning schedules—taking on daily dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and hard floors. It even has an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners and along edges. Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility let you start a cleaning session with just your voice, or simply use the iRobot Home App. When your area’s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season, the Roomba 600 series robot vacuum can even suggest extra cleanings —to help keep your floors clean every day of the year. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

First of all, the set up is very easy. The app was a quick easy download and one doesn't need to be tech savvy to set it up. All you need is to know your internet password. You get to name your Roomba as well, I named mine Irving. The charging station just needs to be on the floor next to a wall with enough room in front of it for the Roomba to maneuver. So now you've downloaded the app, synced the Roomba and charged it up. What next?
Well, now the fun begins. See, Irv's home is a church office right now as we are too small for a regular custodian but we have enough people who are in and out of the office that the floor can get pretty messy over the course of a week. So, I put Irv to work. And boy did he work. He picked up everything, even all those confetti-like circles from a 3-hole punch that someone dumped when they tried to empty it. Those are incredibly difficult to get up but Irv worked until he did it. He did get a bit hung up at the conference table but we just went ahead and moved a couple of chairs and he was fine.
He did make a break for it and escaped the office when someone came in and didn't shut the door. It was then we learned that he really does not like stairs and just turned away when he came to them and went the other way. The only problem I encountered was one you probably wouldn't experience in a home -- being too far from the internet signal. Now Irv continued working, I just couldn't call him back or direct him when he got too far away. Oh yea, he does find his way home and docks himself to recharge. You can call your Roomba home or it does it itself when the charge gets low. You can also program a schedule for it as well along with where you want it to vacuum. You can pause it in the program as well.
One thing I noticed, whether it is my imagination or Irving learning, each time Irving has found his way home, he gets better at avoiding a path that will lead him to obstacles, such as conference chairs. In fact, today he completely avoided everything and pretty much made a beeline for the charger. We love having Irving as a new member of our staff.

The first thing I noticed and loved about this vac is the docking station. You don't need to attach it to a wall as the docking station sits right on the floor. That makes it so easy to move if I wish to change where I want to charge it. It breaks down easily so you can use it in one of 3 ways, as a hand-held, as a regular vac or as a wand to reach high places such as light fixtures or the ceiling. There is the ability to add a power boost if you have a tough mess to clean up. It does a great job on both hardwood and carpeted floors and is very easy to maneuver into corners. Picks up pet hair great. The one con I can see is the length of charge. I've gotten between 15 and 20 minutes which is not enough to do the whole house. However, as we generally do each floor on a different day, I'm not having a problem but I did want to point out the time the charge is held. Overall, I love this Wandvac and highly recommend it.

Tech for real life. This 42mm Gen 5E touchscreen smartwatch features a blush silicone strap, speaker functionality, 4GB storage capacity and three smart battery modes to extend battery life for multiple days. Smartwatches powered with Wear OS by Google are compatible with iPhone® and Android™ phones. Wear OS by Google and other related marks are trademarks of Google LLC. Supported features may vary between platforms. To avoid damage to your watch, only use with included charger. Do not use a USB hub, USB splitter, USB y-cable, battery pack or other peripheral device to charge. Product should be kept more than 20cm away from implanted medical devices to minimize potential for RF interference. See product insert for full details.
Can the strap be changed/replaced?
I believe so. It looks like just a standard watchband. I usually have to as I have a big wrist but this fit on my wrist so you may not need to. The pink of the woman's watch is pale so it blends with the skin tone.
