Sony ICF-CD73V Shower CD Player/Clock Radio (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Reception, Features, all digital, looks, build like a tank.
Cons: Price.
I picked this up to replace a piece of junk Curtis shower radio I bought my wife from Best Buy. She was so dissapointed in the Curtis because no stations would come in on its analog tuner.
The Sony was everything the cheaper Curtis wasn't. It is fully digital including the tuner. It has an external antenna and the reception is great. It sounds great for a littler radio with a even a bit of bass. The auto off feature will let you turn this thing on first thing in the morning and not worry about draining the batteries by leaving it on all day. Aditionally, it comes with a rope strap that will let you hang it from about anything. It is a bit on the heavy side because it is built solid as a rock.
The final word is I am super pleased with this little radio. My only gripe is the price: ... ouch. But if you believe that you get what you pay for...

White FABRIC polyester SHOWER CURTAIN liner bath NEW Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Updated 11/19/10:
Downgrading again a star, from 3 to 2. Between the mildew, letting the water through, and the off-putting translucence, I've kind of grown to hate these curtains. We're having guests for Thanksgiving and the thought of asking them to deal with these pushed me over the edge. I've tossed them and found much better-looking replacements at my local superstore-of-choice.
Updated 9/20/10:
It's been over a month and I'm updating this review from 4 stars to 3.
It's turning out that one shower curtain is not sufficient to keep water inside the tub - I wouldn't call it a flood of water outside the tub, but it is a lot like rain coming through window screens. This isn't an issue with a doubled-up curtain, and it's not bad if the curtain isn't stretched flat, but that's more than I'd want to think about with a shower curtain.
There's also the beginnings of some mildew along the bottom of the curtain where it tends to stick to the wet tub so doesn't dry out quickly.
Again, since I'm using these mostly doubled-up as shower curtains, I'm not having too many problems, but I'll probably be looking for a different curtain when it's time to replace these, and I'd think twice if I was intending to use these as curtain liners.
--------------------------------------------
Original Review, 8/30/10:I use these liners alone for my clawfoot tub, whose tap and shower head are located on the short end of the tub. There's an overlap of two liners on the half of the tub closest to the showerhead, except for a six-inch area behind the shower pipe that is only one liner thick; there's no overlap at the far side of the tub, where the coverage is also only one liner thick.
I've been using these for about two weeks now.
- Water repellent - water beads on these curtains, and I haven't had any problems with them allowing water through while showering. I don't know how these would do if you aimed the shower head at them directly, but they stand up to regular usage just fine.
- Bottoms are not weighted, but I haven't had any problems. My last curtains were fabric weighted with plastic strips threaded into the bottom hem, and these act exactly the same in terms of billowing inwards during showers - that is, sometimes they do it, but most of the time they don't.
- Fabric is more sheer than I expected and you can see fairly clearly into the shower area if light is coming from that side of the curtain. Not a problem for me, but if you have a lighted shower area and you're expecting these curtains to give you privacy or to hide a lot of toiletry clutter, you're going to be disappointed. If your shower is unlighted, you'll be fine, if possibly slightly unnerved by how much you can see out while you're showering.
- The washing instructions state no bleach, which I'm not that thrilled about, but I'm willing to give it a try to see if that extends the life of the anti-mildew treatement.
I haven't had these long, so I have no idea of how the water repellent or anti-mildew treatments will stand up to washing, or how effective the anti-mildew treatment will be. I'll post a follow-up in the future. The verdict for now, though, is that I'd recommend & buy these curtains again.

Hookless? Mystery 71 by 74-Inch Shower Curtain with Shower Curtain Ring Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this shower curtain for about 2 months now, and when we first put it up (and it's true, it only took about 20 seconds to put up), it looked so classy with clean lines and no bulk since it claims we didn't need a liner. About 3 weeks later, the bottom portion began showing rust-like stains despite shaking the curtain out after use and leaving it fully extended outside the tub, as recommended. Needless to say, it doesn't look as good as when we first got it.
I hope to get the stains out with Oxiclean and I am hoping to buy a liner for it...problem is, now with using the Hookless design, you can't go out and buy a regular liner from the store--we'll have to buy a hookless one which is a little more expensive. With this said, I feel it will be worth it to help keep our shower curtain looking like you've walked into a luxury hotel bathroom!

Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit does what it is supposed to do for the most part when used as regularly as suggested. It nonetheless incurs costs above and beyond those you'd normally expect, and it doesn't cover as much of the shower/tub as I hoped it would. The unexpected costs are one of the primary reasons it scored so low.
For one, the unit is power hungry, and goes through batteries like no other device I've ever used. Expect one-and-a-half to two weeks, at most, from a set of brand new AA batteries. The instructions on the unit and the manual state not to use rechargeable batteries, but, being the experimental type, I tried them anyway. The unit played its 15 warning beeps and...didn't work. It worked fine when regular batteries were re-installed. Not being able to use rechargeable batteries is disappointing.
Another problem is the coverage area. It covers most of the shower in its spray, but misses the area about 1.5 feet above the tub/shower floor. This area will need to be cleaned as you normally would.
Finally, the unit uses a lot of fluid, or it evaporates very quickly. We went through two and a half bottles of fluid in a given month, running it once a day for two weeks, then cutting back to every other day when we saw how much fluid was used. Since the bottles cost $4 each or more, that's an unexpected cost that adds up quickly.
With its excessive power requirements, inconsistent spray area, and fluid usage, I don't think this unit is worth the money. The increased costs in battery consumption and fluid evaporation, as well as the coverage area, nullify any cleaning benefits provided. The only folks who benefit from this unit would be those who can't do the cleaning themselves due to injury or some other ailment. Otherwise, save the money and use elbow grease and a cleanser every other day or so.

InterDesign Fabric Waterproof Shower Curtain Liner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This makes you wonder why we put up with those cheesy plastic shower curtains. It works fine. I have not washed it yet, but looking at the construction it looks like it will hold up to years of use and occasional laundering. It's seems durable and therefor more sustainable than normal plastic curtains.

Coleman Hot Water-On-Demand Portable Water Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this heater last summer, for washing dishes, and showers while boat camping. Heater works off a propane canister, so have extras of those. Pump depends on a small battery that has its own compartment. I carried a spare battery out of caution, but didn't need it on my longest trip of three nights with three people. I would guess 6-7 short showers were taken, along with washing dishes and hand washings during meal prep.
Easy to use. Variable temp. control, from cold to scalding just like a water tap at home, (though a much lower pressure) The water gets hot very quickly.
Instructions say not to use lake or stream water. I decided that applies if you are going to use the heater for cooking or drinking water. Since I use mine only for dish-washing/hand-wahing/showering, I ignored this instruction. There is an attachment for hooking to a garden hose, but I didn't get this as I don't camp where potable water is avialable. If you camp with kids, once it is used with non-potable water, I stongly recommend that you make sure they understand that they are not to drink water from the tap.
I found that a large three gallon collapsable bucket was much handier than the collapable container supplied.
As I remember, I purchased the shower attachment seperately. After our first camp trip with the heater, I replaced the hose on the shower attachment with a longer piece of plastic tubing bought at the hardware store, as the original tube was too short to work well. This was real easy to do and not very expensive and I would recommend it if you are more than four feet tall and want to use the heater for showers.
This is unit is not for pack-backing. But it you car camp or boat camp away from hot water and like the luxury of running hot water, this is a great unit. Not that heavy and and no bigger than a small cooler.
I have a Zodi which I used before I got this. The Zodi does a good job of heating water and is somewhat lighter and more compact. I like the Coleman better however. The swing-out spout on the Coleman may look like a gimmick, but if your are washing dishes over a dishpan it realy is an advantage. The instant on/off feature of the Coleman is a also great advantage
especially when showering. You can rinse off, shut off the water, soap up and turn on the water for a final rinse with just a turn of a dial. Since even three gallons of water goes fast, the ease of shutting off the unit "in between" is very handy. With the Zodi the best approach I found was to put the shower-head in the water supply "in between." This works, but it means the burner is continuing to run, using fuel, and if your are not quick, the water can get hotter than you may want. (Shuting off the Zodi means you have to get out the lighter or matches to relight, which can be a pain if you are wet and soapy.) With the Colman's built in igniter, a simple turn of the dial gets every thing going again. By the way, so far the igniter has worked as flawlessly as the one on the gas range top at home. You turn the dial, you hear a little "swoosh" as the burner comes on, and you have hot water.
I also bought the carry case which I recommend.
