Sue's Small Electric Appliance Recommendations

Now why in the world, you might ask, am I posting this item on my travel blog?

It is because we bought three new small electric appliances for our motor home during our long trip. Then when we returned, I ordered and bought all three for our condo. They are all so wonderful that I am going to share them now. Total cost through Amazon and Target: $225 plus or minus a few dollars. They have changed my life!

1) The Cuisinart Egg Cooker, Model CEC-7. Cost: $29.95. I ordered it through Amazon. Gary is a Prime member so we get two day shipping free. Amazon is going to rule the world. There is nobody anywhere that can beat their price and service. This wonderful little cooker fixes eggs four ways: in-the-shell soft, medium and hard, and poached. It is a no muss no fuss cooker, and it's very cute besides! We eat eggs every morning and this little cooker is just wonderful.

2) The Black and Decker Cordless Hand Vac DustBuster. I can't find a model number on mine but it came from Target and is either CHV1410,1410B, 1510, or 1610. It is 15.6v so I would guess it is either the 1510 or 1610 model. It has a brush and crevice tool built into the nozzle, no clumsy storage and difficulty attaching! Cost at Target: $49.99. I have had a series of DustBusters over the years, but this one is the best. It is so powerful, and easy to use. Easy emptying and cleaning.

3) The best for last. The Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vac, BH50010. Purchased at Amazon. Price the second time: $144, a little less the first time. This vacuum has a removable rechargeable Lithium battery. It has a brush roller for carpets and can be turned on and off for hardwood floors. It works wonderfully well. I ordered a second battery ($50) so I can get over my whole house, changing the battery once. Very easy to empty. Filter is great. Lightweight. Makes vacuuming a breeze. I now love to vacuum!

BTW, after the battery has fully recharged each time, don't leave it in the recharger. Apparently doing so depletes the battery and wears it out faster. Remove it when the light starts a slow flashing, indicating recharge is done, and put the battery back in the vacuum.

There you have my current favorite toys!
