Top 3 Reasons To Purchase a Bosch 100 Series Dishwasher @BestBuy #BoschDishwasher@BoschAppliances #AD

by Leave a Comment

This post is sponsored by Best Buy, our opinions are our own.

Just last week I was telling you guys about how much I love my Bosch Dishwasher. It’s so quiet while it is cleaning my dishes, the only thing we hear is the water running during the rinse cycle. I mean it’s that quiet. Today, we want to go even a little bit deeper, and talk about the Bosch 100 Series available at Best Buy and what makes the Bosch the “World’s #1 Dishwasher Brand.”

Bosch 1

The number 1 reason that the Bosch 100 series Dishwasher is that it is the quietest dishwasher in the U.S. There are 18 sound reducing technologies inside the machine and because it’s so quiet the Bosch 100 Series has the InfoLight ® that lets you know it is running.

Bosch 2

When it comes to a dishwasher you also want some reliability. Bosch is the most reliable dishwasher brand with the lowest repair rate according to a leading consumer publication.

When it comes to a dishwasher you also want an excellent performance. Our dishes are always clean. Skip the Pre-Rinse with Bosch.  All Bosch dishwashers have PrecisionWash™- an intelligent wash system with sensors that target every dish to leave them sparkling clean, every time. According to a leading consumer publication Bosch owns 5 of the top 10 drying scores out of 160 tested dishwasher which is pretty amazing right? And Bosch Dishwashers’ condensation drying sets them apart from other brands. The Bosch factory performs 485 quality checks on every dishwasher to ensure that lasting performance in your home. 

Bosch 3

Now the design of a Dishwasher is listed as our number three in importance but could arguably be number 1 for some people. There is a variety of designs and door handles that should fit any kitchen design. They also have Fingerprint-resistant stainless steel that helps guard against smudges and fingerprints and makes them easy to clean a moms dream come true. The dishwasher also comes with a 3rd rack and it adds 30% more loading area and with the Adjustable Rackmatic™ rack you are provided 9 adjustable positions giving you maximum loading flexibility.

Samsung VU7000 Motion Sync Bagless Upright Vacuum with Fully Detachable Handheld

Can I just say that I needed a vacuum when this review came along and I’m quite pleased with what we have here. We received a sample from Samsung and our opinions are our own.

 

We received the Samsung VU7000 Motion Sync Bagless Upright Vacuum with Fully Detachable Handheld. The VU7000 Motion Sync Bagless Upright Vacuum with Fully Detachable Handheld features a removable handheld vac with a long-reach nozzle, making it easy to clean where traditional vacuums can’t. Its hose-free design and separate motor give you greater flexibility when cleaning stairs, curtains, and couch cushions. And because the dusting and crevice accessories are all built into the vacuum handle, you won’t waste time looking for lost tools. And you can do it right away.

The only drawback to it being attached to the vacuum is that it does make the vacuum heavier than your average vacuum. However, it is awesome to have a two in one. While you are in the middle of vacuuming you can just detach it and clean up one of those harder to reach spots. That’s the kind of cleaner I am anyway. I start cleaning, then I see something else that needs to be done, so I start cleaning that and then go back to what I was doing. I’m usually cleaning 5 different things at once. But if I was vacuuming, I would usually just finish vacuuming and then never go back to that little thing that was bothering me in the middle of vacuuming. I used to think I was crazy, but it’s like this vacuum was built just for me. So I can’t be crazy!

 

Featuring Samsung’s Motion Sync Design, this upright vacuum glides easily even with the extra weight around furniture and objects in your home. Its large, lightweight back wheels provide smooth motion, while its reverse cambered wheels and swivel steering let you easily pivot on hard floors, rugs, or carpet. It really does run smoothly I didn’t even notice the first time I used it but when I cleaned the house this weekend and vacuumed three different rooms, I really loved how it goes so easily from one angle to another. Plus pulling the handvac off was really remarkable.

How to Clean your Stainless Steel Appliances: Top 10 Natural Solutions

How to Clean your Stainless Steel Appliances: Our Top 10 Natural Solutions

Cleaning stainless steel home appliances is easier than you think whether you are removing stains, fingerprints, or other dirt. In fact you have some of the top 10 natural solutions already on your shelves at home. You may think these items are only for baking or cooking, but in reality they are also some of the best cleaning remedies you can ever find. It might be a little shocking to see what is on the list. You may not imagine how they can help, but they do.Cleaning Kitchen Appliance Fan Vents on Microwave Oven

  • Olive Oil
  • Club Soda
  • Vinegar
  • Baking Soda
  • Peroxide
  • Baby oil
  • Orange
  • Lemon
  • Sunflower Oil
  • Ketchup

You are probably extremely surprised by the above list. You might have thought of a few of these ingredients as cleaners, but not all of them. You may also have thought about natural cleaners sold in stores and found they don’t work. Try out just one of the ingredients on the list and you will be surprised at how well your appliance comes clean.

Ketchup is the oddest option mentioned and surprisingly very effective on steel, silver, copper and other metals. You take a little bit of catch and wipe it on your appliance with a sponge. It doesn’t need to be on long, just a few seconds before you rinse with water as you would with any cleaning ingredient. Your stainless steel will sparkle like it is new. Ketchup, the main ingredient as tomatoes, has some acidic properties and sugar. The combination is able to work on most grime left by fingerprint oils and dust to bring out the shine in your stain less steel.

While most of the products mentioned above can work alone like lemon and orange due to its acidic properties you also have some that need to be combined to work well.

For example peroxide and baking soda need to be combined together with ¼ peroxide, a couple table spoons of baking soda and the rest water for a cup of cleaner. The combination of peroxide and baking soda creates a natural reaction that is strong enough to remove all the grime.

You might wonder how oil, as there are two mentioned can be used to remove fingerprint oil and other dirt. It does boggle the mind a little, but nevertheless is effective. The properties in both oils take away fingerprint oil and then require a nice clean swipe with a little water and a soft rag. The stainless steel shines again while your fingerprints and dust are missing.

Vinegar can also be combined with items like lemon or baking soda to offer a nice, clean look for your stainless steel appliances. If you are not sold on these natural solutions there are certainly all natural cleaners sold in stores. However, take a look at the main natural ingredients and you will find they are very closely related to the items mentioned above.

You never want to leave any of the suggested ingredients on long. Acid can become damaging particularly lemon which is known to tarnish metals, so a quick clean with a rag and some water will help you make your appliances shine without damage.

Samsung Appliances: What Would YOU Do With 30 Extra Minutes Per Day? #MasterYourHome

Chef Collection Dishwasher

This is a partnered post.

I spent last week in San Jose for BlogHer 2014, which was a whirlwind of activity! During my time at the conference, I saw a lot of great booths – and the one featuring Samsung Appliances had me thinking about a serious home upgrade!

On display was a mock-up kitchen featuring the Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator as well as items from the Kitchen Samsung Chef Collection, which was developed based on the needs of world-class chefs – Oh la la! This line includes the Samsung Chef Collection Over-The Range (OTR) Microwave, the Samsung Chef Collection Slide In Range, the Samsung Chef Collection Dishwasher with WaterWall Technology, and the Samsung Chef Collection 4-Door Refrigerator. I could not believe how much space this fridge has, clocking in at a max capacity of 26.7 cubic feet!

Also big on storage capacity are the WA9000 top-load laundry pair and WF9100 front-load laundry pair, which could be found at the booth as well. The WF9100 set can wash and dry the equivalent of four loads of laundry in one wash – they had large comforters stored inside to show off just how much space these babies have!

And speaking of babies, one of Samsung’s newest innovations is the Baby Care Washer, a small unit perfect for delicate infant clothes and cloth diapers. To keep the cleaning theme going, they also showed off the Motion Sync Canister Vacuum and Motion Sync Upright Vacuum. I’ve always disliked canister vacuums, so I was impressed to see how they had designed this model to move smoothly and not fall over – this is literally not my parents’ vacuum! And, both the canister and upright can work on hardwood floors, which is what I have in most of my house. Hooray!

The amount of innovation that went into these high-tech appliances blew my mind. Every annoyance you’ve ever had with an appliance seems to have been addressed, along with some I’d never thought of before. So with all the time you’d save using more efficient appliances, Samsung wants to know: What would you do with 30 extra minutes a day? I stepped into their video booth to share what I might do:

So tell me, what would you do with 30 extra minutes per day?

Summer Time Cleaning: Black and Decker Studio Shredder #Giveaway

by 636 Comments

Junk mail stacks up at our house and you can only recycle so much of it. If it has personal information of any kind on it then it needs to be shredded. So you need a shredder to keep your information out of those dumpster divers. Yes it does happen, and yes we do have a shredder. We have a large shredder. So your next response may be that you don’t have room for a shredder, we don’t really have anywhere to put ours either. I think it’s in a closet or the garage right now. Black & Decker have the solution for me and you. They recently sent me the Black & Decker Studio Shredder. The Studio Shredder is small and easy to hide, but also sleek in design so you won’t want to hide it.

imageMy Husband had the day off yesterday as did everyone else so he thought it would be a good idea to stress test the new shredder. I was upstairs taking a nap. This is his stack of papers, cd, credit cards, that he wanted to shred.

He did not follow the directions and when I came downstairs he had over heated the machine and I actually thought he killed it. He shredded a CD, credit cards, and much more than six sheets of paper at a time. When I came down stairs from my nap, I found this mess.

imageHe’s a man, what can I say! So maybe if you win it, don’t leave it in the hands of your DH!!

I plugged it back in today and unclogged it and it works again, it just had to cool off. The Studio Shredder survived my husband to shred another day!
