I had previously bought the Weight Watchers bathroom scale, the digital one with the body fat read out, the hydration read out etc. and every time I got on it (like within the same time frame) it registered a different weight. WITHIN MINUTES of getting on the scale. I returned that and got an analog scale. While that one is working fine, I can’t discern weight between 20lb increments … even WITH my glasses on LOL. I read the reviews for the Eat Smart scale here and decided I would give it a chance. I am glad I did. I calibrate it EVERY TIME before I weigh myself (because I move the scale) and I test the calibration with two 5 pound dumb bells. It is spot on every time. If you have been having issues with your digital scale and want to toss it out a window, get this one. I have the one with the step on technology (you don’t have to tap it on) and it works BRILLIANTLY!

It was that time of year again to get the carpets cleaned. I checked with several carpet cleaning companies that use the hot water extraction method and most wanted between $200-$300 to clean the carpets in my house! Being a do-it-myselfer, I decided to purchase a carpet cleaner myself and tackle the job. I did extensive internet research about which cleaner was the best, and this cleaner was consistently ranked the highest. Amazon reviews also held a lot of water for me. It was impossible to read all 1,400+ reviews, but the ones that I did read, sang the praises of this machine. After using it to clean the 10 year old carpets in my home, I am also singing. The people we bought our home from did not properly take care of the carpets, so now I’m playing catch-up. The Steam Vac does a fantastic job! Obviously, the carpets are never going to look like they are brand new, but the improvement has been dramatic. I could not believe the color of the water that was coming out of the dirty water tank. I do have a few hints and tips that will help you make the most of the machine, however. The cleaner that comes with the machine is very concentrated and I found that even two passes over an area (2 wet, 2 dry) left some soap in the carpets. I discovered this when I went back over the carpets a couple of days later using hot water only. If you leave dried detergent on the carpets, you are going to attract a TON of dirt. If I had it to do over again when using the cleaner that came with it, I would probably only use about half. That being said, I still think that one cleaning with detergent should be followed with a few cleanings using hot water only. I was still getting dirty water (and the water that was sucked back up into the tank was a bit sudsy). I plan on going back over the carpets until the water runs clear and there are no suds. My second tip is to pass the cleaner over the area slowly. I found that I extracted more dirt when I did this. It seems c
