We all see the obvious; this smart plug turns one plug, whether it is for standard or grounded, in to two plugs in a snap. We have all needed help doing this at some point or the other. With this device we actually get to extend those outlets reach just a bit. That will definitely save me from those times when an extension cord and its bulkiness are just too much. For those that are familiar with, and use SSG Smart Home you can also connect this outlet to that using the appropriate App and following the instructions included with this device. Now even though I used this handy device to rectify an issue I was dealing with in my house it is also a real super handy device for outside. The cord is thick and sturdy which makes it durable to weather and the outlets are in a damp or waterproof housing cover. Though mine is helping out indoors I see myself needing to get another for my outdoor lights in the near future.

So my youngest son’s television in his room finally went out and of course he had to have a new one. You know the younger generation gotta have access to their video games, Netflix, Hulu, and such. After a couple hours of research I decided to go with this model. The Sceptre X328BV-SR 32 Inch 720p LED TV. It fit everything we needed and yes, I did read about the issues a lot of people seemed to be having with the quality of the sound but, I also read how that could easily be fixed in the settings, so I bought it. For starters I was surprised at how lightweight it was, that took me by surprise. The picture is great and it was real easy to set up. I think the stand that attaches to it could be a little more durable but I suppose more people are hanging their televisions on the wall nowadays; sorry I am not one of these people. As for the sound, yea there was an issue with that. I believe it has a lot to do with the placement of the speakers but a little tweaking in the settings and all good. Overall this is a very nice television and it did not cost me an arm and a leg. In my book, that is always a major plus!
amzn.to/2N3bm7U If you are like me you have bought endless amounts of charging cords just to have to throw them out for one reason or the other. When I bought these cords I crossed my fingers that they would be better. I have had them for a couple weeks now and I am really impressed. These cords are nice and thick, very durable, unlike others I have had. My family and I are extremely happy with the length. Since my boys are gamers these cords allow them to stay in the game even while their controllers are charging, and they don’t have to be sitting right on top of their televisions to do it. I enjoy the length because it doesn’t mean I have to be right near a charging port to use the device I am charging. But, because I take a lot of pictures I was extremely pleased to see that these cords not only charged my devices but also allowed me to import my photos. It has been my experience that not all cords will do that. If you are looking for durable charging cords that work like they should then I suggest you try these out.
amzn.to/2Pg89yz Yep, it’s a garbage can but, in my opinion it is a very durable garbage can. It is just the right size to fit in my cabinet and that is what I needed. If you don’t have a cabinet this is perfect for sitting in the kitchen and keeping the garbage covered and out of sight. It is also a great way to keep young children and dogs out of it until they figure out the lid is spring loaded. The bags fit nicely over the rim of the can and the lid helps to keep the bag from falling when garbage is placed in it. No more digging the bag out of the can. Yuck! But I also find that these cans are great for other uses. I have a few of them and I don’t just use them for garbage. My biggest use is for dog and cat food. At night when I was asleep my animals use to help themselves to the bags of food but now I store their food in these containers and find that it last so much longer. These cans are very durable, easy to clean, and come in a variety of colors to match almost any décor.
www.hefty.com Do you have room that you feel is in need of a door but you just don’t have room for the traditional interior door? Why not consider an Accordion Folding Door? These are great for small areas where a normal interior door just would not work or maybe you just want have a unique look and go with something different. These doors come in various sizes and colors, or if needed you can even trim them down to you desired size. Even though you are given the option to pay to have them installed I will tell you it took me less than 30 minutes to install mine by myself. It was really simple, all the hardware was supplied and the directions were very easy to follow. These work great for laundry rooms, utility rooms, closets, just about any room where you may feel the need to add a door. Because they are accordion style they barely take up any room at all when opened and when in use they are held closed by a heavy duty magnet. Because these doors are made of vinyl cleaning them when needed should be a snap, I figure warm soapy water should do the trick. Definitely enjoying the privacy this door adds.
www.ltlhomeproducts.com I purchased 2 of these just a few days ago in hopes of helping a young boy who is staying with me and afraid of the dark. If he enjoyed it, I had to have another for his sister. As it turns out we both enjoyed it and I cannot wait to see his sisters face. It lit the ceiling and walls up with colorful stars and moon but not so much so that he could not drift off to sleep. As for me, I was surprised at all the different ways you could use this night light. You could have the stars and moon lit up in numerous colors either sitting stationary or slowing rotating. If stars and moon aren’t for your kids simply take the cutout off and put the cover back on for a continuous glow of whatever color you choose. When in use this item makes no sound and can be easily operated with the use of a USB cord(included) and port, or by batteries (not included). I think this would make the perfect gift for any young child needing some kind f night light in their room. I look forward to telling all of my friends who have young children, or wee ones on the way.
www.sunnests.com With the Summer days here and the heat upon us many are looking for ways to stay cool. After many years of using the traditional window air conditioner I decided to check out a portable air conditioner. I went with a GREE company model, and after buying others I have to say GREE was the better choice. This particular model is an air conditioner, dehumidifier, and fan with remote control. Every single thing I could possibly need to get this air conditioner up and running was supplied and my room was cooling off in about 15 minutes. There is minimal assembly required and you may need a Philips screwdriver. The key to this portable air conditioner is that you will need a window for the exhaust hose to run out(exhaust hose and window inserts included). One unique thing about the GREE model is that it also comes equipped with a rain and debris guard for outside the window, many other models do not. The window inserts are also built to be used horizontally and vertically making almost any window an option for this air conditioner. Once the exhaust hose is attached you can easily roll this device to any room you need cooled and put the exhaust set up in a window. I look forward to enjoying the many cool days ahead.
With mosquito season being in full swing and the children constantly running in and out I needed to find something to help me combat the little blood suckers that would not bother my family or pets. Surprisingly enough I found that in this Indoor Mosquito Trap. This lightweight, UFO shaped device does the trick. I set it on a low lying shelf away from everyone and just plug it in and let it do its job. It lets off a soft purple light that I assume attracts the insects as well as making a nice night light. When the insects get close to the light the fan sucks them down into the bottom of the trap. The fan on this trap is extremely quiet and the trap bottom is large enough that I only have to clean it out once a week. This is definitely one item I am glad I took the time to try out. The only downfalls I see are the fact that it must always be plugged into some kind of USB source in order for it to work. This device would be awesome for camping if there was some way to charge it, by USB or solar, so you can turn it on later for use inside of a tent.
amzn.to/2Kmsq7p I am so impressed with this vacuum cleaner I had to write a review for it. No, it is not the Dyson with the ball that everyone raves about. It is an upright bagless vacuum that I must say picks up pet hair like no other vacuum I have ever used. I have 3 long haired dogs that are constantly shedding and so I am constantly fighting dog hair. Most vacuums that I buy get burned up in a year and don’t even touch the dog hair left on my carpet. This Dyson is the total opposite!! I am completely fascinated with the ease at which it cleans up all the hair from my carpets. Unlike other vacuums where I have to go over a room numerous times and still not get the results I want this Dyson takes care of everything in one swipe. I am able to clean my house in a third of the time it usually takes me!! I also love the extremely long cord. I now have the ability to plug into one room and clean an entire floor without changing outlets 2 or 3 times. And then, of course, there is the lovely wand that allows me to clear out cobwebs and dust mites from up to 15 feet away making it extremely helpful for those with vaulted ceilings. I am so impressed with this vacuum that I could honestly go on and on about its performance but, I won’t. Don’t take my word for it, if you deal with the pet hair issues associated with being a fur baby lover this is the vacuum you need to purchase.
amzn.to/2FZJRoJ This unique looking crystal ball prism sun catcher is most definitely going to add plenty of color to any room even when the sun is not casting rainbows off of the crystal ball prism. This colorful sun catcher hangs at a length of just under 10 inches. The large crystal ball prism hanging at the very bottom has an approximate diameter of 1 ¼ inch. All of the crystals found on this item, from the large one at the bottom to the small ones at the top, are just that real glass crystals. None of them are made from plastic. This item has a stainless steel hoop at the top for hanging as well as a nice white ribbon. For those who may find they want this to hang even lower you can easily attach your own ribbon. This sun catcher is perfect for hanging in a window or even outside somewhere. It is a very beautiful piece by itself but sparkles and throws off more color when caught in the sunlight. This item arrives nestled into a very nice box that displays the sun catcher’s beauty and also makes it perfect for gift giving purposes.
