Bissell Powersteamer Powerbrush Carpet Cleaner


There is no steam involved on this cleaner. I was a bit bemused when I read the instructions and nothing was mentioned about power steaming, it’s because there is no steam.   With that aside, this seems to do a pretty good job.  I tested this on a powder blue sheared carpet, a longer sheared carpet, a very flat kind of mat carpet, a woven oriental type carpet and a bath mat.   The only one that it seemed to have issues with was the very tightly woven, flat mat carpet.  The brushes pulled some loops up on it.  On the rest of the carpets, it ran just fine.  There were a lot of lint balls after I was done but that is noted in the manual with the suggestion to vacuum after the carpet is dry.  I did not have any noticeable stains on any of the carpets but the one that it didn’t like so I don’t know how well it pulls up stains.  I can tell you that the water it pulled up was pretty darn dirty so it certainly looks like it is working.  I removed all removable pieces to rinse after the test.  Pulling the wet lint out from above the brushes was pretty disgusting but again,  that is an indication it is working.  Overall, this seems to do the job one would expect.  It certainly isn’t professional grade carpet cleaning but between the pro jobs, this will do the trick.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Arlo Security System by NETGEAR – 6 Wire–Free HD Cameras, Indoor/Outdoor, Night Vision (VMS3630B)

This is an interesting system.  The absolutely wire free aspect is great, particularly if you have a wife is diametrically opposed to visible cables.   The visual aspect of the cameras is great even at night.  The installation or setup was a breeze.   The cameras synced quickly with no issues.   The required an immediate upgrade via download and four of the six cameras did that flawlessly.   The other two took multiple restarts to get the update successfully accepted.   The phone software works well and I was easily able to see the cameras remotely.   So my initial impression is very positive. I did receive this system in exchange for an honest review.   The documentation for this system is abysmal.   There is no identification on the cameras to determine which of Arlo’s cameras they may be.  This makes it difficult to determine what is expected of the camera.   ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...
