Anything like this sucks:



Love it when on the commercial they show it washing some damn potting soil off the wall.

Hey frickface, I have a straight shaft echo that has been run hard for years and all I’ve ever done was change the air filter once. Other than that it’s add gas.

Maybe you should ask your husband how to operate whatever it is you’re trying to run.

You can get like an hour or more with most battery trimmers. Seriously. Look into it. They're awesome.

KT tape. I've made fun of everyone I've ever seen on TV wearing these funny looking tape strips on their bodies while playing volleyball, tennis, etc.

I recently slightly pulled a calf muscle but I limped from it because of discomfort. BenGay, ICYHot type products did nothing to relieve it. A friend suggested KT tape. I got some in spite of heavy skeptism.


From the first application, there was immediate and noticeable relief. It does not represent that it "heals" the problem; it just somehow relieves the discomfort.

Better yet, I considered it to be reasonably priced.

I bought my parents a microwave in 1983 or so. It was still going strong when we sold the house in 2012.
Kitchen aid can opener. Just a manual can opener. Absolutely flawless and so smooth you’ll be looking for cans to open.

Well that’s 2 that worked.

I’ve used it for years. Won’t drive without it.

Don’t work:
Dollar Tree body wash.
I want it to be good so bad because it’s so cheap. Alas, it’s smell-good water

Planned obsolence. How else are they going to get you to buy their new smart microwave you can control with their app that datamines on your phone?

The BUG-A-SALT CAMOFLY 2.0 is a unique, patented insect eradication device, which shoots a shotgun spray of regular table salt and decimates flies on contact. A surefire fun way to enjoy a disgusting task. Rid your house of all those pesky pests and have a blast while doing it. The 2.0 model is excellent for flies on windows or screens, and will not damage screens or furniture. This model is recommended for soft-bodied insects like common houseflies, mosquitos, pestilent/poisonous spiders, small to medium-sized roaches, and moths.

Instant Pot - This pressure cooker is easily one of the best splurge purchases I've ever made.



Don't work worth a frick:

Fiskers Reel Mower - If you live somewhere with zero trees it might work for you. But the tiniest of sticks stop this thing dead in it's tracks and makes using it anywhere near trees that drop shite like pecans or acorns a massive chore.
