Review: Dyson UV Cleansing Humidifier

Depending on where you live, you know how dry it can get indoors, particularly during the cold weather where besides dry skin, many people may exhibit chapped lips, sinus issues and a nightmare for some allergy sufferers.

Review: Dyson DC51 Animal vacuum is small yet mighty

DC50_front_side

Okay, saying your vacuum cleaner sucks sounds cliché, but at the end of the day that’s what you really want it to do. For me, a vacuum is a common household gadget that spends most of its life in a dark closet and in my case, probably more than it should, but when an opportunity arose to test-drive and review theDyson DC 51 Animal, I couldn’t wait.
