The Magic Chef Wine Cooler and the Magic Chef Beverage Cooler were perfect for our needs.&nbs...

I purchased this air filter from Sears because my Honeywell air filter finally bit the dust.  I purchased the air filter online at Sears.com because I could order online and pick it up 15 minutes later at a local Sears store.  The unit is designed to clean air in a 16 x 20 room and does a great job.  It also has a built in ionizer that cleans and freshens the air as it leaves the...

I liked this shredder so much I purchased a second one.  This shredder cross-cuts paper and shreds up to 7 sheets of paper at a time.  It has a mesh wastebasket included to catch the shredded papers.  This shredder has been invaluable in shredding documents that shouldn't be discarded without being shredded.  If you don't empty the basket it will jam but by unpluggin...

This has become my favorite cosmetic item.  This bronzer comes in enough colors to match every complexion.  The great thing about it is that it produces a very soft look.  Just use a large fluffy brush and swirl it over your cheeks, nose forehead and chin.  It will make your face look sun-kissed and healthy in just a few seconds.  I no longer use blusher, just my bronze...

I purchased a Saturn Sky in March of 2006, unfortunately due to high demand I had to wait until September of 2006 to have the car delivered.  I originally saw the car on a poster in the local Saturn dealership.  I took one look and said "how can I get one of those?"The salesman told me that they had to be ordered, so that's what I did.  I love this car, it is fun to...

I purchased a Littermaid Self-cleaning cat box when we got our cat thinking it would make the chore of cleaning the litter box less bothersome.  It worked great for the first two months, the cat would use it, leave the box and several minutes later we would hear the rake start up and it would dump the waste into the container at the end of the box.  After the first two months the rake...
