For me at least the KSOs got really really hot, to the point where sometimes I would wet them in sprinklers as I went past.

I have owned and used this vacuum for 7(?) years now and it has shown no sign of slowing down. Haven't used it on your exact floor type but it has some hefty suck power behind it. As a bonus you can pretend to be a Ghostbuster while using it. edit: With having big dogs that shed a lot I will also re-use the disposable bags a few times since the majority of what fills them up for me is dog hair. tangy yet delightful has a new favorite as of 05:27 on Feb 3, 2014 |

Just get a shop vac. It'll handle that floor and dog hair, no problem.

Totally TWISTED posted:ProTeam Super QuarterVac If I am going to drop $500 on a vacuum then it better have some chrome and flashing lights or some poo poo. That brand does seem to have a great rep, so I will look into it. However, it, like the shop vac, seems to be a huge pain to store unless you have a closet big enough to hold it.

If you're looking for a Vacuum and cost is not a huge issue it's Miele or nothing.

My main issue is how uneven the brick is. There is no way the suck head (the technical term for it I believe) can get a good seal so most of the ones we have tried only really pick up like 2-3" per pass and that takes for loving ever. Most vacs for non-carpeted floors seem to emphasize how non-scratch and gentle they are. I just want maximum sucking and non-tipping ability. I also don't really need or want some insane HEPA filter thing and they tend to clog way too often. The more I rant about this the more I think a high end shop vac is the answer unless someone else here has an uneven rear end brick floor, a huge dog, and a woodstove.

We have an uneven wooden floor with lots of gaps in it, a wood fireplace, and several cats, and got a Dyson years ago (one of the first ones) and it's still going strong (okay, one of the hoses cracked at one point but that was cheap to replace) and has no problems sucking poo poo up from cracks since it's really powerful. It's got a HEPA filter or something like that but it's never, ever outright clogged for us despite forgetting to clean it out fairly often, and it doesn't seem to cut its power much at all.

It was recommended to me by my cleaning company friend (which you can kinda glean from the reviews), my guess is you could possibly find a consumer level vac with the same suck power and it just won't last for a literal forever amount of time. Which I can of course totally understand doing.

Man I feel so loving old chatting about loving vacuums on the internet. But I can now top this feeling by going to the loving old lady sewing and vacuum store near my house and check out one of those Miele ones. brb, off to knit a slip cover for my toaster. But really, thanks everyone. My gf has been out of town for like 4 months and is returning soon, thus my obsessive interest in cleaning without working too hard

I'm looking for a good quality face cream/moisturizer. Sometimes I get allergies/histamine reaction that makes me scratch/rub my face a lot and it ends up making my skin red and raw especially around my nose. Usually after a couple days the skin even peels, like a sunburn. I'm looking for a very good quality face cream to reduce this visible redness and dryness. In my experience vitamin E/aloe chap stick seems to help a bit, or an aloe gel. However it's not ideal so I'd love to hear recommendations. Dove's Men Care facial cream works well also but I'm looking to see if people suggest something better. To contribute, I'll reccomend a product I first heard of here on SA. If anyone is looking for eye drops for redness relief or mositurizion, check out the japanese brand Rohto. They will burn anywhere from slightly to a poo poo load when you first put them in. However, within seconds your eyes will be so pearly white that that nobody will suspect you as the stoner that you truly are. http://myrohto.com/. I would greatly appreciate it if someone informs me where I can find them in Canada (Ontario) so that I don't have to get them shipped to me every time. Also if anyone has used different kinds, any idea which is best for irritation/dryness? I've only used Rhoto Ice which was excellent for redness relief but my current concern is dry eyes. Also while we're on the topic, anyone know where I might find eye drops that would dialate my pupils? i.e. to counteract the telltale junkie pinned pupils denzelcurrypower has a new favorite as of 00:00 on Feb 5, 2014 |

I use http://www.olehenriksen.com/p-53-nurture-me-creme.aspx to moisturize, and it's pretty great. It took about 2 weeks, but the redness in my face is well diminished. If you have a Sephora nearby, you may want to check with them as to what product is best--I've never been steered wrong there. As well, many JC Penney's stores have installed Sephora shop-within-a-shops, if you don't have a traditional one near.

I'm looking for a men's breast pocket wallet that can hold both ID and passport. Preferrably with a focus on cash/cards/notes, no need for a change pocket or checkbook flap. Vy & Elle used to make a fantastic one that I was going to buy one day, and that day would be today, but they stopped producing products 2 years ago it seems. Anything upcycled would be fantastic, and I'm looking to spend up to $60.

This might seem an odd request for this thread, but I'm looking for a decent brand of boot/shoe to wear in the winter. I moved to Denver, Colorado 8 years ago, and so far have been managing with an old pair of mostly weather-proof Sketchers I used to wear to work. They are quite old and worn, and honestly not so fashionable any more. The recent weather here in Denver has convinced me that I need a new pair of winter shoes. I'm not looking to go climbing a 14er in February, just something for walking back and forth to the bars/grocery stores/downtown etc.

Get some LL Bean Katahdins and treat them with a little mink oil or Obenauf's. They're pretty much waterproof already, but they'll be golden with the oil. Plus they're amazingly comfy once they're broken in, look great, and are warm as poo poo. Just make sure to size down a little bit, as with all boots.

They aren't fashionable, but they're of the utility that I feel they're not "unfashionable." In normal weather, you look like a fool, but in the snow/rain, you just look prepared.

I'm getting married in December, and as such, I'm trying to get into a bit more shape. My Nike's are starting to get a bit uncomfortable (and my cat got to them), so does anyone have any recommendation for good workout shoes? This will mainly be treadmill, jogging, weightlifting, and other basic stuff, but I definitely want something comfortable. I don't really have a budget and if higher price means higher quality then that's good for me.

Chuck Taylors for weightlifting, and Nike Free Runs for jogging These suggestions apply for either gender, but if you're a woman with money to spare buy Flyknits instead of Free Runs. Roshes are great too, for both genders and for both weightlifting and short-distance running

I don't really have a budget and if higher price means higher quality then that's good for me. I'd roll with a good pair of Asics, myself. I have a pair of Gel Kayanos that I purchased 4 years ago, I have run 10km a week in since, that are still going strong. I use them mainly for workouts now, but yeah the durability on these things is crazy awesome. http://www.asics.com.au/footwear/running-shoes ^ I recently bought a pair of the new Gel Nimbus' 15s listed on that page for running/sprinting. Of all the models, they have the most cushioning (while the Kayanos have more support around the ankle/heel if that's your thing). You can obviously get specific shoes for lifting weights, but I find these do the trick anyways. Brooks also make good sneakers too, as do Saucony (though I personally find them a bit firm feeling). I always gravitate towards Asics tho cuz they just fit me I guess!

Okay here's an odd request. An electric shaver that does not give you a close shave. Either standard or because you can adjust it. Certain spots on my neck get pretty bad ingrown hairs after shaving, which is caused when the cut hair curls under the skin. So I need to figure out how to shave somewhere between buzzers/clippers without a guard, and a standard electric shaver or razor.

No mess at the end!

Because they tend to have that effect. You can get a pretty close shave with a double edged safety razor, minus the ingrowns, and DE blades are way way cheaper than cartridges (like 100 blades for $20 cheap).

Cornuto posted:Anyone recommend a good, affordable laptop for college? Wait. AMD just rolled out their new line of APU Chips less than a month ago. Most cost-to-power efficient laptops these days are running on APU's (either AMD or Intel HD Graphics) and in general if you don't want to pay for a dedicated video card the AMD ones are much better. The new ones are out benching i5's on graphics related stuff (games and video conversion) so they are going to be a pretty big jump from the previous generation power wise. If you don't care about games then just go for something cheap with 6 gigs of RAM and any Intel i3/5/7 processor.

I'm looking for recommendations on a few things. Looking for a good vacuum, especially for cat hair, hoping to pay ~100 at most but that can go up etc. I'm in a like 600sqft apartment, so it doesn't need stairs or whatever things. Also a slow cooker and rice cooker. The GWS product thread didn't have any suggestions for me on those I guess. Hoping you guys do!
