Many times I have bought a seemingly amazing gadget only to be confused or disappointed with the little bang I got for my buck. Often, that banging is coming from me! This site is a community working to get the goods, save money, and prevent retail failure! I review some of America's most popular products/services as well as commonly purchased flunks and I give them a consumer's pass or fail, based on your feedback and what I find and reveal to you.

EZ Engraver Review
The Ez Engraver is a double-A battery powered Engraving tool. It works best with a full battery and it's not precise enough to engrave little designs or write very small, but I use it on everything because of the security EZ Engraver provides to me. I label everything! I never loose bits or have to plug in the engraver and I can keep the EZ Engraver in small drawers around the house which makes it very accessible. I'm passing the EZ Engraver for its great accessibility.
Orabrush Review
Just a few months ago, at the age of twenty-five, I finally had my wisdom teeth removed, but, just before that, I had been struggling with sinus and jaw infections when I bought Orabrush with the Orabrush Tongue Foam.
Even after I brushed my mouth and rinsed, Orabrush was still able to remove more. This is because tongues act like sponges. You actually have to squeeze the extra bacteria out to get rid of the most smells and get your mouth cleaner.
After using Orabrush, My infections went down and, when my wisdom teeth were removed, my dental hygiene was complimented and the Orabrush kept the infections away, so the Orabrush passes with gratitude.

Topsy Turvy Review
I first worked with the Topsy Turvy two years ago and the first thing that I noticed was how difficult it was to get the root system inside without damaging any roots, the second was keeping the root system inside by pouring dirt into the hanging planter while you're holding the plant and breathing in dirt, but the real problems with the Topsy Turvy started after watering. The soil washed away little by little, so it was replaced little by little, then the plants started to die, then bugs nested in the soil and the plants died quicker, and last and, absolutely, the worst was when the Topsy Turvy began to disintegrate in the sun.
Now, every time that I walk to the back yard, I see dirt, rusty wires, plastic rings, and green tarp where I laid the dead tomato plants down. Topsy Turvy, absolutely, failed! If anyone out there has succeeded with the Topsy Turvy then just tell me how you did it because It was too much maintenance for me.

Who Knew Review
I purchased a five book series entitled Who Knew for the two little books Free Stuff and Extreme Coupons, which come in the series by Bruce and Jeanne Lubin, but when the package came four weeks later, I noticed that the box contained, not one, but two sets and that Who knew had double charged me by mistake. I assume that the company did this when they called me to ask for my address, which I had already provided to them when I made the initial purchase.
However, I can return the second set for my money and I have been finding Free Stuff very helpful, but the rest of the books are a little disappointing for me, so here's hoping that Free Stuff can makeup for my aggravation in this very unprofessional situation. Who Knew fails here, but If you have a different opinion speak up and tell me why!

Orgreenic Review
I began using Orgreenic about a week ago and I quickly noticed that the smaller size was too small for my everyday needs, but it should be perfect for caramelizing, but I'm currently unprepared for this review so I'll give you updates after I make some caramel and get the larger size.

Sticky Buddy Review (featuring PetGroomPro2 & Sergeant's Brush)
I bought a new lint roller to brush my cat!
You see, on the infomercials I saw a man brushing a cat with Sticky Buddy, so I thought to myself, "Wouldn't that just be amazing, to brush a cat with soft rubber bristles and, magically, have no mess", but I'll get to that later. First I want to compare it to an ordinary lint roller.
Cleaned and ready to go I used each to clean cat hair and found that I needed to rinse and dry Sticky Buddy several times, but I loved the rubber bristles and it beats the alternative. when I used the ordinary roller, I threw away six sheets and a quarter inch border to each sheet was wasted, collecting no hair before it was tossed. This may seem like no big deal, but, on a sixty sheet roller, that means that a minimum of fifteen inches of your roller will not be used and that adds up in the land fills so my Sticky Buddy is staying.
I also lent Sticky Buddy to my mother who used it to clean up dog hair in her van and she has told me that she plans to get one of her own.
Now, let's get back to the cat! I mentioned earlier that I cleaned up cat hair. Cats are way too hairy to brush with a Sticky Buddy, but dogs adore it.
Now I need to find a good brush for cat. Right! So, what do I recommend? Well, I tried two brushes; PetGroomPro2 and Sergeant's.
All of my dog, as well as my cat, are horribly afraid of PetGroomPro2, when it's on, but it features a great hair remover, so I knew that I wanted that in my next brush!
I strongly recommend Sergeants Brush for your cat because of its fine bristles and push to clean button, which allows me to clean up easily and safely store the brush with the bristles inside. I also love that my cat's brush is always clean and that I can open it with a Phillips head screw driver, if it should need to be cleaned inside
In summery, Sticky Buddy passes for me, but I would suggest that you brush your cat with Sergeant's Brush and I would love to hear your side.

Review for e-Pen and e-Glide
I always hate buying any product for hair removal. Aside from razors, I had yet to find one that can stand up to it's claims so I tried two more (The e-Pen and The e-Glide) claiming to have permanent results. They sounded unbelievable!
I drew a little rectangle, slopped on some cold, sticky, blue gel and used them for a couple hours and, in truth, I saw the e-Glide remove some hair, but not much.
Then it was time for The e-Pen to take over! I began with two little, black patches a few inches apart, but the patches gave me no results and quickly became dirty, black patches of goop, so I tried the cotton swabs and again ended up with plenty of hair to spare.
Between the two e-Products I lost about ten hairs and gained a huge mess. They both fail for me, but I want to know how you feel.

Ultra Pro Card Protectors
Ultra Pro would have you believe that you're getting the product at a
fair price, but if you buy this product from Ultra Pro, they will charge
you five times the cost of the product in shipping and handling alone
(without shipping/handling refunds) and additional fees should you
choose to return it! That's a lot of money to spend on a product that
usually retails at a penny a piece. Please don't buy it here. You'll
spend one sixth the cost if you go to your local gaming store instead of
Amazon or a third party company through Amazon.
Also the five star review which mentions the silver logo and calls the sleeves durable looks to have come from the company itself, now that I've read both of the other reviews stating that the sleeves are flimsy, breaking at the corners and splitting at the seams.
Perhaps Ultra Pro wrote the review with the intention to sell their poorly constructed product. However, I believe the company hired someone to write the review simply to boost their shallow egos and make up for their horrific people skills in Customer Service. Ultra Pro fails big time.
So, what's on your mind?
