Review of Liberty Plus Mosquito Magnet® Insect Trap

Yes, the product kills mosquitoes... while it works. I bought the Liberty Plus and was pleased with its results for two years. In the third year it did not recharge the battery as well, did not catch mosquitoes as well. I contacted the company for service and was directed to a third party who suggested I bought a Mosquito Killing System supposedly for being more reliable. Even though we need those machines here in Louisiana (believe me), I have not had the courage to spend that amount of money yet again... not after being burnt out with the Mosquito Magnet. When you compute the high cost of the machine, propane tanks, octenol, net replacements you can almost give a price tag per mosquito killed during the life time of those unreliable machines. If you have that kind of money to throw out of the window, go ahead and buy it: it works while it lasts.

Product Description:
The Liberty Plus Mosquito Magnet catalytically converts propane to carbon dioxide, mimicking human breath. Self-powered, hybrid system consists of thermmelectric module and NIMH battery, propane creates CO2. The combination of heat, moisture and octenol (biting insect attractant) attracts mosquitoes and other biting insects to the Mosquito Magnet, where patented Counterflow™ technology vacuums them into a net where they dehydrate and die. New Liberty Plus net is 50% larger than original Liberty unit. The Mosquito Magnet generates its own power - so you can place it anywhere without worrying about a power cord or outlet. Constructed of durable industrial-strength material, making it ideal for commercial or backyard use. Includes attractant and replacement nets. Requires 20-lb. propane tank (not included). U.S.A.

Review of Oxo Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt with Magnet, Red

I own this mitt and I have been very pleased with it.I got it six months ago, and it has held up excellently through washings and rough treatment!I have not once been burned through it, and it is easy to use even when wet.The little hanger that is attached to it has also not broken, which is unusual for my pot holders-- we cook a lot and they get constant use and abuse.
The only reason I am giving it only four stars is because it is too small for my fiance's hand to fit smoothly in through the wrist area.He does have large hands, but so do a lot of tall men, and they need pot holders too!In addition, I have trouble bending the pot holder when I want to pick up something small.The plastic is just a tad thick for that.

Product Description:
The OXO GOOD GRIPS Silicone Oven Mitt is the best of both worlds: 600°F heat resistant silicone on the outside and cool, comfortable fabric on the inside.

OXO's unique silicone rib design improves flexibility and dexterity and provides a secure grip even on slippery surfaces. Our Mitt truly fits like a glove, letting you pick up items small and large.

Review of Dry-Erase Magnet Board (White) (11"H x 4"W x 0.125"D)

As there is no edge on the product, it is extremely easy to end up on the wall. Wherever my kids can reach it, there are, right next to the edge, dry-erase marker marks on the wall- which, unfortunately, do not dry erase.

Retrospectively, I would not have bought this item had I realized the issue.

Review of Kitchen Conversion Chart - Magnetic

I admit, I am not a top chef by any stretch of the imagination.Until very recently, I abhorred cooking.I just started doing it to eat healthier and to have something to take up my time.I am still learning--a lot--about this art.I do refer to this wonderful chart throughout the week, if not daily, mostly for conversions.It has more than that though.It has freezer lifespans for different meats, cooking times for basic foods... you really have to get it if you cook on a regular basis at all.
It is a huge magnet, it takes up about a third of my freezer door, if not more, but the amount of information they pack into that space is phenomenal.I really can't recommend it enough.$12 well spent, in my opinion.

Review of Everholder FURemover Broom

My first complaint is that the telescoping handle doesn't lock when extended.It stays put by pressure against the floor.That works until you lift it up and the bottom half slides out onto the floor.Maybe mine is broken?Not sure.Secondly, I haven't had great success with it picking up dog hair.Maybe my floors are cleaner than I think.Lastly, I read somewhere that it can be used as a pile rake for carpet.I found this to be far from the truth.It just bounces along the top of the carpet doing nothing to the pile.

Review of Magnet Square Is Adhesive Backed And Powerful- Will Lift Up To 1/4 Lb. (Pkg of 100)

The magnets arrived in a timely fashion.I was looking for something with a little more power, and the description (will lift up to 1/4 lb) led me to believe they would work well for my project - small refrigerator magnets.I wanted something strong enough that could hold more than one piece of paper or something a little thicker than paper - and I felt these did not work well enough.My magnets are 2 x 3 inches and light FRP material, so I thought the magnets should work.Also, they were thicker than I wanted - but that was my own fault - the dimensions were accurately portrayed.

Product Description:
It's a hard rubber magnet on one side and has self-stick adhesive on the other. Peel off the paper, stick your item onto the foam adhesive back, then stick the magnet to a metal surface. Or, reverse the procedure and place the sticky side onto a wall, then put your metallic item onto the magnet. The adhesive will stick to smooth or rough surfaces. It's quick, easy and best of all it can hold a lot of weight. We've tested it successfully with up to 1/4 lbs. of weight. The magnet measures 3/4" square and is only 3/16" thick and because it is made of hard rubber it wil not chip or break like ceramic magnets. You get a package of 100 magnets in this offer.

Review of Martha Stewart Collection Measure Equivalents Magnet

Did you know that 12 tsp. is equal to 1/4 cup?Or that 5 oz. is equal to 2/3 cup?Maybe you are a culinary genius, and DID know this, or maybe you are like me, and have to do the math every time you triple your favorite recipes or need equivalent measurements (like, I need 2 oz., but only have measuring spoons to measure it with - which, by the way, 2 oz. is equal to 4 Tbsp.!).This magnet is such a great idea!It solves this problem for me by showing measure equivalents in an easy to see format.And the super strong magnet stays firmly on the back of my stove, right where I need it (and since it's made of sturdy metal instead of laminated paper, it doesn't melt!).A very functional tool in the kitchen!

Review of Oxo Good Grips Red Bag Clips, Set of 2

I couldn't get a good look from Amazon's provided image, so I expected the clips to be kinda flimsy, cheap, crackly, chintzy plastic.

They are not at all! The clips are a really solid, great-feeling matte plastic, and the red color looks terrific. They are not shiny, so they do not look cheap. They grip very well and have handy and good-looking rubbery components at the grip and handle.

I am very impressed with these clips. They feel good to use, they look excellent, and the size is perfect for medium to large bags of snacks.

I am currently using 1 for a big bag of tortilla chips, and another is on a big bag of opened dry cat food. I ordered another set after this first 2-pack arrived, as I'm sure they'll always come in handy. Highly recommended!

Review of Messermeister 16.1/2" Bamboo Knife Magnet Bar

This knife bar looks very good, but it seems to not have magnets distributed evenly. The result of this is that if you put knives on in certain places, they will spinto get closer to the magnets. Large knives like carving, bread, and santoku, are much worse for this than smaller paring knives. It is very difficult to find a place on the bar that the large knives will sit still.This does not occur on bars that have magnetic strips running the entire length. We have Shun knives that we keep very sharp, and after having long blades spin on me twice, I took this bar down and tossed it. Back to the metal bar for us.

Also, it was generally cheaply put together, the metal mounting slots were not screwed on properly, so I had to fix that before putting it up, and the lamination is not of the best quality.

Recently it fell off and broke. Suffice to say, she requested another for Christmas and initially all I could find were sports themed or beer-themed varieties that had magnets attached. After several hours of searching, I finally found this one and it will be perfect for her. The seller, "Gifts from a Distance," shipped this out immediately and I recieved it within 3 days of the original order and also impressed me by how carefully wrapped the item was. In fact the box that it came in will be the box I use to wrap it in because of it's interesting size/shape. As for the product... well... the cat was orange and white as pictured above, the bottle opener works and it sticks to the fridge! What more could one ask for?

Review of American Innovative Klip Vibe Kitchen Dual Timer/Clock/Stopwatch, Charcoal

This timer is a bit of a gamble as other timers can be had for half the price, but the Klip is a clear step up from bargain products.

For example, the inexpensive timer I owned before this one had a flimsy stand to prop the unit up, as do many others on the market. The Klip on the other hand is cleverly contoured and will stand on its own without a prop. The overall construction is better than most timers and the unit is made from much sturdier plastic.

The Klip is meant to be worn and has a belt clip which can be used to hook the device on a belt or pocket. The vibration and alarm are not particularly loud, which is perfect for my use, but if you need an air-raid type alarm that can be heard next door, it will not work for you.

Since there are dedicated buttons for setting hours, minutes, and seconds, setting the countdown time is easy. Press mode to select the timer, press the appropriate "+/-" buttons to set, then press "play" to start. The timer can be paused by pressing "play" again or reset by holding it down for a couple of seconds. The countdown function also features an elapsed time bar which graphically displays how much time has elapsed.

Holding down the mode and alarm buttons will lock the unit so accidental button presses will not change the program. There are two timers, a clock, and a stopwatch, all of which run independently. The Klip is powered by two AAA batteries and unlike some timers, the alarm can be turned off once it begins to sound.

The only negative observation is that even though the magnet on the back is strong, the Klip will turn to right a little when you stick it to the refrigerator because the batteries cause that end of the unit to weigh more.

The Klip is a discrete, flexible, easy to use, and well-built timer.

Review of Interdesign Magnetic Memo Center

Stuck to the fridge door, this handy little memo center keeps paper and pencil (forget the pencil that comes with it and put a mechanical pencil there instead) within arm's reach; very useful for grocery lists that are a work in progress. The bottom part holds key chains, which makes it a lot harder to lose them...

Review of J.A. Henckels 17-1/2-Inch Magna Bar, Black

.to wish you had a better way of keeping your kitchen scalpels organized.
Seriously, I thought this bar would be just the thing to help me organize my too-small kitchen which is always strewn with knives, bottle openers, spatulae, whisks, and other kitchen implements. I also wanted something to keep my sharp knives away from my hands so that I could reach for things on the counter without worrying about stabbing myself.
This magnetic strip fits the bill perfectly. I was worried at first that it wouldn't be a strong enough magnet to hold my chef's knife, but it is. The knife is held very securely and forms a tight magnetic "seal" that breaks when you twist the knife away from it. If you bump the knife, it just rotates on the magnet - you'd have to be a real klutz to whack it hard enough to knock it off by accident. ...
I was also worried that the metal magnet would nick my knife edges. That's not a problem as long as you're careful how you put the knife on (back edge first).
I recommend this product without any reservations!

Review of Magnetic Knife Bar, 18", Wooden

I use this to hold metal tools in my garage and it works well for that purpose.

Pros:

Nice looking piece of somewhat heavy 7/8" oak.
Good magnetics without being overly strong.

Cons:

The mounting screws provided where 1 1/4" which provide inadequate leverage for the heavy 7/8" oak into
wallboard.Mounting directly into wood would be OK.Iused my own mounting hardware for wallboard.

If you use as a knife holder, the knife blade rests directly on metal bars which some people object to for fear of dinging very sharp blades.

Review of J.A. Henckels 11-1/2-Inch Magna Bar Knife Storage Bar

I ordered this comparatively high-priced magnetic holder specifically because it was 11.5 inches, so would fit on the end of my 12-inch deep cabinet.
When it arrived it was actually almost 12.5 inches, so it sticks out on the end and I can't use it!
Disappointing to pay extra for an item just because it fits, and find out it doesn't. It is made of plastic, too, so there's no excuse for the high price (except maybe the Henckel name, which I don't care about.
The magnets are very strong; a little stronger than I'd like, but maybe some people would like it that way.
