I wasn't sure whether to hate or feel sorry for this buyer, so I did both, but wondered exactly what a seller would need to do to deserve less than 3 stars from them. "This toaster burned down my house and the seller kidnapped me and buried me alive after I requested a refund. 2 stars." 1-star and 5-star reviews are mostly by people that have no clue what they're talking about, so it's fine to ignore them.

I have one similar to that one. It's handle is very short, so it kills my back. And I have a very small one room house, so there's not much floor space to sweep. It does pretty good at sweeping up cat hair, but I have tile floors, and it makes that horrible squeak sound when using it. 😖 What I was hoping to find out in this video, is whether or not it's better to wet the squeegee before sweeping, or leave it dry? I've tried both ways, but wasn't sure if I was doing it properly when wet. It left smears on the floor, so im guessing it's better dry. Was just curious to see how you used it.

Impressive. 😅😅 I don’t mind the lightweight handle but the bottom would need to be more rigid. I like the idea of it being ultra lightweight and shaped like a broom and the size of a broom tho. But looks to me like a cheap broom would do just as good. My single complaint about the furwell is just how awkward it is in tight spots or corners. Well and just the fact that you have to switch to a broom to scoop it all up anyways in the end. But it does a fine job with broader areas and really grabs pet hair quite well.

Doors, cupboards, bathroom fixtures, furniture, appliances - the quality was much better back in the 50s. Oh sure, progress has improved many things - we’ve gone from the “icebox” to a fridge that can give you a glass of cold water and automatically gives you ice cubes or crushed ice. Today’s cars can practically drive themselves, and are loaded with options Henry Ford most likely never dreamed were possible, but that’s not the same as quality. I bought my first microwave in 1985. It was simple - no spinning plate inside, no major brand name. It lasted 30 years! I bought a Kenmore to replace it - kenmore has a good reputation, right? It stopped working after 3years. That’s what I’m talking about. My mother still has her GE dryer from 1969. I bought my first dryer in 1978 - I just bought my 3rd dryer 2 years ago -and the enamel is peeling on the drum.
