Whitmor Folding Clothes Drying Rack, White Review

Whitmor Folding Clothes Drying Rack, White
Average Reviews:

This rack is well made and sturdy. I usually set it up outside,weather permitting, to hang towels and washcloths on after bathing. This allows them to dry quickly and stay fresh.
I secure Panacea Products Corp. Marbles 100ct Bag Red to the bottom of each leg with a ponytail holder. This prevents a breeze from catching the towels/clothes and blowing the rack over. I came up with this solution after I found it laying on the ground several times. The marbles solved the problem. When the mesh bags the marbles are in starts to wear out just replace with inexpensive knee high hose.
For storing the rack folds flat and I just stand it against the wall at the back of the closet.
Another great solution for the fulltime Rver. Also would work well in dorm rooms and apartments.

Get fresh-smelling clothes and save on energy costs at the same time with this folding drying rack from Whitmor. Easy to use indoors or out, the rack is great for hanging delicates, draping denim, and laying out woolens. Its accordion design drops open and locks into position, and its eleven bars offer a generous amount of linear drying space in a small footprint. Made from steel for durability, the piece is coated with a waterproof epoxy layer in white to eliminate stain-absorption, odors, and mildew.When collapsed, the piece stores flat and slips easily beside a washing machine, in a closet, or behind a door. Ready to use immediately, it stands 14-1/2 by 29-1/2 by 41-3/4 inches when open. A similar version in chrome is also available.

Swissgold KF 300 One-Cup Coffee Filter Review

Swissgold KF 300 One-Cup Coffee Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an excellent solution if you like a small-ish (8-10 oz or less) and convenient cup of coffee in the morning. My experience is that no automatic drip maker is really designed to make a good single cup, and while I use a french press on the weekends, cleaning the screen assembly is too much hassle for a weekday morning, as is having to mind the infusion time. So the swissgold one-cup is an excellent compromise. There's no brew time to pay attention to, it's very easy to rinse everything clean under the tap, and you don't have to buy or throw away paper filters!
My only complaint (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) is that the infusion time seems very short -- the cup is usually done brewing in about a minute or less -- and the coffee does lack body as a result. I wonder if the filter might have been designed to slow down brewing a bit more. In any case, I just use a fairly fine grind, like one of the other reviewers here said, and end up with very decent coffee with a minimum of hassle.

Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer Review

Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer

Along with my Wonder Washer and Wonderwash Laundry Mini Countertop Clothes Spin Dryer Portable Clothes Dryer I have a complete portable laundry center. All three items are small and compact for easy storage.
This setup reduces the trips to the laundromat and has paid for itself in no time. Really great to have when boondocking (I have solar and a genset) and are miles from a laundry. I still wash my sheets,and blankets at the laundry. Almost everything else is doable with this setup even my jeans, one bath towel per ld, washcloths,etc,.
For water conservation when boondocking I just wash a light colored load first. After it finishes I place the wet clothes in the spin dryer with the drain hose positioned into Wonder Washer tub so that the wash water can drain back into the washer. I then wash the 2nd load and run them through the spin dryer. I then fill the Wonder Washer with fresh water and follow the same sequence to rinse both loads. The mini spin dryer is very effective in removing excess water from the laundry and does not stretch items out of shape as hand wringing often does.
After wringing in the spin dryer I place the items on hangers and into the portable clothes dryer that I have set up under my Fantastic Fan vent in the living area so that the humid air can be directed outside. Most things dry in about 15-20 minutes. If the weather is nice I do not put the cover on or use the heat, I instead just airdry. I also have a Whitmor 6023-741 Folding Drying Rack, White that works well for air drying outdoors as well as indoors.
This heating unit can be used as a electric room heater by setting up the base but do not put the center pole with the drying arms or the cover on. It gently blows out hot air which warms the room. Talk about multi-functional.
The three legs slide easily into slots on the heating unit base. The center pole is in segments and easily goes together with the umbrella style upper pole to hang the clothes on. The dryer cover is heavy nylon with a heavy duty full length zipper. This makes for an easy setup as well as compact storage.
This setup would work well for dorm rooms, small apts, as well as RVS.

Mini Countertop Spin Dryer Clothes Spin Dryer Portable Clothes Dryer Review

This spin dryer does perform some drying for clothes that come out of a regular washer with the spin cycle, but not as much as I liked. I felt that this would help some in making their decision. On the other hand, I'd like to praise The Laundry-Alternative's more expensive spin dryer Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin Dryer which extracts A LOT OF water while the spinner spins twice as fast at 3200 instead of 1600rpm (maybe 6 ounces for 3 minutes, while the smaller machine may remove about an ounce for the same amount of clothes). Personally, I was looking for a review of someone who used a regular washer and spin dried their clothes with this, but there weren't any reviews. My review may get a lot of negative feedback, but will save a couple of people money, and that's why I write reviews in the first place. Also, you may find that the prices may be less buying directly through The Laundry-Alternative. Hope this helps someone.
3 stars for my purpose and 5 stars for people who own a Wonderwasher gives a fair average of 4 stars. Please let me know if this was a helpful review.

I ordered this not really expecting much for such a low price. Was I ever mistaken!!
This makes any table top a sewing center. It is well padded with very clear markings. Keeps my machine from sliding while sewing and reduces noise. The pockets are convenient for placing items in while working on a project.
It folds and fits in my sewing machine carrying case for easy storage and to take along to sewing/craft classes.
I was using a foldable compact ironing board to protect my table tops and corian counter tops. I can now rid my self of this space taking setup.
This setup makes for an compact, lightweight setup that transports and stores easily.
Not only a terrific solution for the fulltime RV seamstress and crafter, but also would work well in dorm rooms and small apartments.

Jam-packed with an assortment of organizational options, this 16-by-32-inch sewing center makes a wonderful addition to any crafting room or creative workspace. The unit's padded muslin construction and non-slip silicone backing serve to dampen machine noise and prevent sewing machines from "walking" across the counter or table during operation, while its handy grid--printed at 1-inch increments--enables effortless measurements while cutting or hemming. Even more, its roomy surface area offers plenty of space for both a sewing machine and an iron, making it easy to pre-press seams, iron collars, affix sizing, and mount iron-on patches without making multiple trips across the room to use a freestanding ironing board. Additional highlights include three detachable pockets for bobbins, thread, elastic banding, and other small notions; two scissor holders for keeping pinking shears or fabric scissors nearby; and a small waste bag--all of which hang neatly over the edge of a table or desk for out-of-the-way convenience. An indispensible tool for both novice and professional tailors, the sewing center measures approximately 16 by 32 by 1/2 inches.
