Swivel Sweeper

Swivel Sweeper - $39.99 regular price

If you have kids, pets, or hardwood floors this is a must have product for you! I picked this up at RiteAid for $39.99 although I could have probably gotten it cheaper online. And just before I returned it (impulse buy) I decided to try it out first. Guess what! I kept it because it actually did the job! I sure could have used this gadget when I was pregnant with my boys!! I am a stickler when it comes to my floors (laminate and carpet). I hate walking on crumbs. I also have 2 messy birds to clean up after. With the Swivel Sweeper I can sweep my whole house in less than 5 minutes WITHOUT BENDING OVER! No more dust pan for me! This product has 4 rotating brushes so it picks up crumbs from the front, back and both sides. The swivel action feels great as it glides along the floor. You can reach under tables, chairs, around rugs and in all those trouble areas. It does NOT have suction, it's just a sweeper, however, it does work on carpet if you are careful and hold the sweeper up so that the brushes skim the top of the carpet. Works great for my bathroom rugs that normally get covered in hair clippings and become tangled in the regular vacuum cleaner when I try to vacuum. This sweeper can get around the toilet and in other places that are normally hard to reach. I would definitely recommend this product. Battery has a long last and recharges so you don't have to plug it in. It is light weight too so I've already started my 2 year old in training!

FlexTune iphone Portable Speaker System

Okay - I'm a shoppaholic! I've been thinking of blogging about my favorite products for a long time now. Here is my first product entry:

Macally - Flextune Portable Speaker system for iPod, iPhone.

I'm a techy - as my blogname refers to. I absolutely LOVE my iPhone 3GS! I found this great product, the Macally Flextune at Fry's Electronics on sale for $42.95 from $69.99. Although it is not meant for the iPhone so far my iPhone works just great! An error message comes up on the screen that asks you if you want to put the phone in airplane mode - when I click no - the speakers still work just fine.

This unit is compact and lightweight. The speakers slide together for easy travel or storage. When you slide them apart it opens to create a great docking port for your iPod or iPhone. Plug it in either horizontally and vertically! I have a cover on my iPhone so if I want to plug it in horizontally (to watch downloaded movies and such) I'd have to remove the case but this is a great feature! Like a mini portable movie player! I cannot wait to take this on our first family trip. My kids listen to music or white noise while they sleep and now they can watch movies too!

Another great feature I found is that it actually charges my iPhone when it is plugged in as many other portable speakers systems I've found do NOT charge it when it's plugged in.

The sound quality is quite good considering how small and inexpensive it is. Perfect for an office, a small bedroom or on a camping trip. It can use an AC power adapter or 4 "AA" batteries. Haven't tried it with batteries yet so I don't know how long they last.

This product also comes with a remote control. And it actually works with the iphone! Fastforward, reverse, pause, play and volume controls all work with this tiny remote control.

This is a great accessory for your iPod or iPhone!
