  • Small product picture of microplane graters.

    If you’re tired of dealing with mediocre cheese graters, the Microplane grater will put an end to the frustration. Made from high quality stainless steel and razor sharp grating edges, there’s nothing that this small tool can’t handle. Hard cheeses, onions, ginger and citrus fruits are just a few of the foods that this grater can take on, extracting the best flavors from your food and turning ordinary meals into masterpieces. An ergonomic plastic handle makes the grater comfortable to use, while the stainless steel blade measures out at 8 ½ inches. The idea came from a rasp, which is a woodworking tool that is small and efficient.

    Although the cutters are ideal for grating, you will need to use caution when using the tool. Since it is sharp enough to cut through tough rinds and foods, it can also cut through the knuckles. Fortunately, none of the reviews had safety issues with the product and instead exercised extra caution when using the grater. There are very few negative complaints about this product, especially with the overwhelming number of product owners. The only issues that a few people had were that the razors dulled after some time. However, this is a common occurrence for any grater and most product owners had no issues with the longevity and durability of the product. In fact, it is these features that make the Microplane grater a must-have tool for any serious cook. After all, these Microplane graters were featured in several cooking magazines and has since drawn plenty of attention, being claimed as the best grater by avid cooks.

  • Small product picture of speed jum rope review.

    When you are looking for an opportunity to exercise, the Valeo JRS jump rope is a great model for speed and agility as far as jump ropes are concerned. The makers claim that it is nicely used for adults as well as children, creating the perfect adjustments for any height. It can be used for those who are growing in height too. The knots on the rope are somewhat cumbersome to the motion of the rope, though that can be removed by cutting away any excess rope. The rope is also not long enough for anyone who is taller than six feet and two inches. Measuring means standing in the middle of the rope with both feet and pulling the rope to the armpits.

    As far as price and speed are concerned, the two are complementary. The price is worth it for the speed of the jump rope. The caps can be easily pulled off of the ends of the handles so that the rope can be measured for the appropriate length. This jump rope comes equipped with two additional crimp bands. This is perfect if you need to readjust the length of the rope by cutting off additional rope length and crimping the new bands in place, then replacing the cap. Of course, before cutting the rope, it is recommended that you practice with the intended length so that you don’t cut it too short on accident.

  • Small product picture of solar pool cover review.

    If you have owned an above ground pool for any time, you know that leaving it uncovered will lead to quick evaporation, requiring you to constantly fill it. And then you are going to spend most of your time cleaning out bugs and leaf litter. But the Intex 59953E Krystal Clear 12 Foot Solar Pool Cover will help you avoid all of the hassles with your Intex above ground pool, so you can spend your time enjoying it, instead of cleaning it. Not only does the product install easily (it just floats on top of the water) but it keeps the water warmer, too. Instead of having to give up your pool in September, you should be able to enjoy it into October or longer (if you’re further south).

    Many of the reviews I investigated online showed a real appreciation for how easy this solar pool cover installed. It’s very easy to unroll and install, since it floats on the water, just under the lip of the pool. You have to be sure to get just the right size for your pool, though, as it is designed for an exact fit.There are two major complaints on the Intex solar cover. First, the cover is prone to ripping if you aren’t careful. Any transportation of the cover is another chance for it to be damaged, so you should try to keep it in the included carrying case whenever it isn’t on top of the pool. The other major complaint shared by reviewers online is that it’s very difficult to get the cover back in its carrying case. So you are going to have a hard choice to make: struggle with putting the cover in its case, or risk ripping it as you transport it.
