Shark Deluxe Steam Mop S3202 Upright Vacuum
Dirty Floor Predator: The Shark Steam Mop
by neuhofer
Pros: FAST, lightweight, easy to use & fill, long cord. Pads are REUSABLE (washable).
Cons: Buying extra pads probably warranted unless you do laundry frequently.

Snooping in the pantry one morning, I noticed a bag of Nature's Recipe treats. Mrs. Spudman knows how I like to try new treats, so she picked up a bag of these on an expedition to PetSmart. Giving the bag a cursory perusal, I noticed that the packaging ...

Pros: Fits three-ounce cat food cans as well as standard cans
Cons: Brags it's a four-size fit, but it's really a just three-size fit
Does size matter? This is an age-old question, apparently according to my spam box, but in the case of cat food cans, one-size-fits-all is actually one lid fits four cans. As with so many one-size-fits-all universal items the solution is ...

Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress
The best nights sleep you will ever have.

Pros: Provides the best nights sleep with optimal support without sagging.  No sleeping on irritating springs.
Cons: It is slightly expensive, but well worth the cost. 
If you've never lain on a memory foam mattress, I can only say it feels like no other mattress you've slept on before.  I can still remember how firm it felt when we initially laid down on it, only to feel it give way and mould itself around ...
