susandennisI have two items of info ... if you want a fancy toaster that also heats sausage/bacon and cooks eggs, read on... If you want a shower head that is a spiritual experience, read on...
First the toaster. I got one of these a couple of weeks ago.
It's really quite the cool little appliance. It doesn't do anything but toast (bread, bagels, english muffins) and eggs (poached, boiled) and you can heat up frozen pre-cooked sausage and bacon. But it does all of that beautifully. Just perfectly actually. I love it. And it's nice looking.
Anyway, the egg poaching cup is teflon coated and after I used it the first time, I went to wash it and the teflon flaked off in big flakes. Now, the toaster came with a big card saying that if you had a problem, please do not contact the store, call the 800 number for Back to Basics. So I did. I got a person immediately and she was really nice and fun and efficient. She said that she would send me a new poaching cup right away and asked if I would mind sending the defective one back so they could see what the problem was. Tres cool.
Shower head
The other day I realized that my shower head had served its time. It was ready for shower head heaven. I googled showerhead high pressure and got www.highpressureshowerheads.com. (This is also a PERFECT example of a website that does what it needs to in the very best way possible - easy to read, no distracting anything, all the info you need, easy to navigate and nice looking.) I read their stuff and was impressed. I had to go to Home Depot anyway so I figured I'd check out the shower heads there. Very glitzy with no credible information so I came back home and ordered The Ultimate.
It came on Friday. It looked kind of underwhelming out of the box. Small, nice but could this little thing do good shower? The package included excellent detailed instructions on low flow gizmo removal and even included teflon tape. It took me longer to find the stupid wrench than it did to install the thing.
The first shower was perfect. Orgasmic. But I thought maybe it was mostly relief of so many weeks of bad showerhead... Now, however, I've had three PERFECT showers and I'm ready to declare victory. This sucker is wonderful. Hot, powerful needles or hot powerful bigger and rainlike. Doesn't matter. The Ultimate is the ultimate.
I am a happy consumer camper today...
