HiCOZY Ice Maker review – a convenient source for extra nugget ice

James Garriss — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 16:26:15 +0000

REVIEW – Most Friday nights we have company over to our house. Sometimes it’s just a couple, but other times it’s an entire crew. On those nights, the ice maker built into our fridge struggles to create enough ice for everyone to keep their sweet teas icy and their sodas cold. Sure, we could swing …

Julie Strietelmeier — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 15:04:47 +0000

REVIEW – I love minimalist wallets because I don’t typically carry a bag (I’m never going to call it a purse!) when I’m out and about. I don’t want to bulk up my pockets, so when it comes to wallets, they have to be thin but functional. The newest wallet that I’ve been testing is …

REVIEW – If you suffer from allergies, coughing, or just feeling down during various seasons, it may be related to the air quality in your home. For reasons I haven’t figured out, our family seems to be more sensitive to our environment than we used to be. I don’t think it’s the food we eat—my …

Julian Perry — Sat, 19 Nov 2022 17:26:31 +0000

REVIEW – I have the privilege of using the shower in my basement that I rebuilt. I say privilege because I am the only one who uses it and I like that. When I rebuilt it, I was not sure exactly how it would be used in terms of who would use it, so I …

REVIEW – While waiting for the next round of superhero blockbusters to arrive at theaters I’ve been upgrading my home theater quite a bit.

REVIEW – When I reviewed the AeroPress and AeroPress Go coffee makers back in 2019, I was impressed with both products.

David Ferreira — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 17:42:33 +0000
