"This is a brilliantly designed water bottle," raved one hydrated fan. "It's slim, dishwasher safe, and keeps icy drinks cold well. The lid design is top-notch: press a button and the clear top piece springs back to reveal a sip or straw option. Snap open the protruding piece below the button and the entire lid lifts back for chugging, which is what I always use. I can fill ice that way too. It's perfectly easy. I've used this bottle daily since purchasing it three months ago before this review to make sure it's really all it seemed to be. It is."

We decided to name our robot vacuum 'Sparky,' and since we purchased it in August, Sparky has been cleaning and mopping every night. I have to say, it’s done an impressive job, and both my wife and I truly appreciate waking up to clean floors every morning."

They are great for cleaning around faucets; I spray some Scrubbing Bubbles when my shower is wet and then use the crevice brush to clean the grout. They easily fit into places that were awkward to clean before."
