charbear says "Good look, Tight fit" about Skechers Men's Punisher - Tan

I bought these for my husband's birthday. They look great, but they were a really tight fit. I ended up sending them back to exchange them for a larger size.

charbear says "Did my feet suddenly grow?" about Fila Men's Disruptor Shoe - Black/White/Red

These are a very tight, snug fit! They are not very comfortable! I returned them and ordered 1/2 size bigger! I hope they will fit better and be more comfortable! Other than the tight squeeze, they are a sharp looking shoe!

charbear says "This fridge is terrible" about Amana 25.1 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator w/ PUR Water Filtration

charbear — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:51:39 GMT

This product was recommended to me by a salesman as being "High-Quality" and a "Good Value For The Money". I have never been so disappointed in an appliance before. Only 2 months after we bought it, the compressor went out in it- we had a family wedding coming up and our fridge was loaded with hundreds of dollars worth of food. We had no idea anything was wrong with it until we opened the fridge only a day before the wedding and discovered everything was warm and rotten. Luckily the compressor was under warranty and the repair man came to fix it. It has been working ever since. The ice bucket is very cheap and flimsy- it cracks and breaks extremely easily- I have already replaced it twice. Other than the sudden death of the fridge and the ice bucket breaking, it's been okay. Well, maybe not- everything on the top shelf of the fridge and anything at all that touches the side of the fridge ultimately freezes. I have the setting turned down to about 3. But I guess freezing...

charbear says "Awesome Dishwasher" about Whirlpool 24 in. Built-In Dishwasher

charbear — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:01:13 GMT

I bought this dishwasher several months ago to replace a GE one that came with the house. I was amazed at how much cleaner my dishes are and how much quieter this dishwasher operates! Before, I could only set the dishwasher as I was leaving the house because it was so loud, i couldn't hear anything! Now, I can start it immediately or delay it for several hours and the noise level is not nearly as noticeable. Sounds great, looks great, cleans great, and I love to push the buttons on the front! Would recommend to anyone!

charbear says "Whirlpool Stove Rocks" about Whirlpool 30&#34 Freestanding Gas Range

charbear — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:01:07 GMT

I just purchased this stove to replace an old GE gas stove. I had the GE for several years and always ended up with either burned or raw food, and had to cook everything at a different temperature for different amounts of time than what was suggested- it was a complete guessing game! When I finally convinced my husband that we needed a new stove, I looked at several other brands. My family loves Whirlpool and suggested I try it. I didn't want a stove with tons of options that would self clean and do a song and dance- I needed it to cook. I have absolutely loved this stove! My food comes out perfect, no more pizzas with charcoal on the outer edge and frozen cheese in the center! I love cooking with this stove! I have owned it for several months and have never had a problem with it. I don't mind the fact that it is not self-cleaning, in fact, I enjoy doing it myself. Its nice to have a quality appliance that I can depend on. I would recommend it to anyone!

charbear says "Use scissors, not this mower" about Craftsman Lawn Mower

charbear — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:22:16 GMT

Another piece of junk lawn/garden equipment from Crapsman. I have had 2 of these lawnmowers, they were the 3 in 1 mulching. They did a satisfactory job on cutting the grass, when you could get the stupid things to run!!! Be prepared for broken handles and pull strings, broken gas lines, and the pull start piece that is supposed to rewind the line when you pull it- good luck getting it to last more than a few times. I will not buy a craftsman lawnmower again- I'd rather go out and trim my lawn with scissors than mess with another mower like this! ...

charbear says "Holy Smokes" about Miracle Grow Plant Food - All Purpose

charbear — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:16:35 GMT

They are not kidding when they say that this stuff is "Miracle Grow"! I have never used it before and planted my first garden this year. I used it on my tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash plants. They were HUGE!!!! I had 4 tomato plants and all of them grew out of their cages, and I had to use additional cages and dowels hammered into the ground to support them. When you stood them up they were over 6 feet tall! My zucchini and yellow squash plants also did very well. My plants were huge and I had more zucchini and squash than I could handle!! This stuff is awesome! I will definitely be using it next year, but I'll be sure to buy bigger cages and stakes!...

charbear says "Craftsman Chain Saw Should Have a P Instead of an FT" about Craftsman 18" Chain Saw

charbear — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:11:10 GMT

This 18" Craftsman chain saw is a piece of junk. They should replace the craftsman with crapsman! We have owned it for a short amount of time and have only used twice. It lacks power to cut, you are limited to small logs or branches. The first time we used it, it did okay, but wouldn't cut very well and was very slow. The second time we used it, we could not get it to start for anything! My husband cleaned the carb, and did everything to get it to run and it would not. He is Mr. Fix-it to a T, and if he couldn't fix it, nobody can! We ended up buying a Stihl chainsaw from a different store and there is a HUGE difference! I wouldn't recommend Craftsman Chainsaws to anyone, unless you want a reason to cuss and swear and throw tools (and the chain saw too)!...
