Stainless Steel Drinking Cups From Pratico Outdoors Review
When I was younger, we had stainless steel cups at home because they were durable and doesn't break even when accidentally dropped. What I remember was, they would often retain the scent or taste of juices and soda even after getting washed. For flavored drinks, it's not a problem but when I use it for water, then there is a certain taste and scent on the cup from the flavored drinks.
When I received the Stainless steel cups from Pratico Outdoors, I looked forward to trying it because it reminded me of the stainless steel cups we used to use when I was younger. Here is a short product description from the company:
✔ DRINK WITHOUT TOXINS - Each Pratico Outdoor's Clean Steel cup is made from premium food-grade 18/8 stainless steel which means NO BPA and NO TOXINS
✔ STRONG AND DURABLE - Each Clean Steel cup is electropolished to add additional rust protection and is reyclable, super strong, and dishwasher safe. Guaranteed to provide years of problem-free use
✔ PERFECT FOR ALL OCCASIONS - Clean Steel can be used as a great replacement anywhere you might use plastic drinking cups or glasses - camping, backpacking, traveling, outdoor events, hiking, and more
✔ SET OF 2 STACKABLE PINT GLASSES - Keep one 1 at home and 1 at the office - 2 tumblers with 16 oz of space ensures you always have a toxin-free drinking experience when you want it
The stainless steel cups from Pratico Outdoors came in a set of 2. I was impressed by how thick these cups are and how nice they look. They have a chrome finish and looks durable.
The rims were polished smooth so I don't have to worry about the rims scraping my lips.
I like how these cups keep drinks cooler or warmer longer. I also like how easy they are to clean. I've used this on coffee, milk, juice, and other flavored drinks and I like how these doesn't retain the taste and scent of flavored drinks. I also like that these doesn't easily topple over because of the 2.2 inch diameter base.
These cups are high quality and durable so they would last a long time.

ROHA Digital Kitchen Scale Review

I use a kitchen scale to weigh and measure my food portion daily as well as use it to measure ingredients. In the morning, I use a kitchen scale to weigh my cereals, milk and almonds. For this, I like to use a kitchen scale with a Tare function so that I can zero out the weight of the cereals and then continue on adding the almonds and then the milk. When I received the Roha Digital Kitchen Scale, I looked forward to trying it and see how it would compare to my current digital kitchen scale.
The Roha Digital Kitchen Scale arrived in a box. I received the black weighing scale which measures 15x20x2cm. It came with 2xAAA batteries and a paper instruction guide. The box says it uses 2xCR2032 batteries which is a bit of a discrepancy since this works on 2 x AAA batteries. Not a big deal for me but it's nice if they can reprint it for other buyers.
The Roha Digital Kitchen Scale has a tempered glass platform with 2 very sensitive touch buttons. On the left lower side is the On button/Tare and on the right lower side is the Unit button. This can weigh anything between 3g up to 5 Kg. I actually tried it and nit can measure up to 5100 grams and then give out an Err display after 5100 grams.
I noticed that the LCD display has lighted numbers on a black LCD display. I like this feature because I can read the weight clearly. Even when it's a bit dim, the weight is clear because of the lighted numbers.
I also like that I can change the unit of measure by pressing the UNIT button. I can navigate through the different measurements which are: grams, lbs, fl.oz., and ml. I also like how I can choose between weighing milk and water.
The Tare function is very helpful for me since I put different things on my cereals. I can zero out the weight and add another topping on my cereals so that I don't have to weigh them separately.
There is also an automatic off function after 60 seconds of inactivity or I can turn it off by pressing the ON/Tare button for about 3 seconds.
The Roha Digital Kitchen Scale looks nice, sleek and classy and it works as it should.

Nespresso Coffee Capsules Rack From Kuuk Review

Coffee pods and K-cups can be a pain, specially when they're all over the place. For this review, I thought the Kuuk Coffee Pod Rack can be used for my K-cups but when I received it, I didn't read the fine print that this is for the Nespresso coffee capsules. That was my bad so I am writing my review based on how this looked and the features I saw on this rack.
The Kuuk Nespresso Coffee Pod Rack arrived in a nice box.
The rack has a stainless steel finish and measures 14.5" tall and 3" wide. I really like the slim look because in my case, we live in an apartment and space is limited and this is a space saver. It has 5 columns which can hold up to 50 coffee pods, 10 pods per column.
The bottom of the base has a velvet-y lining which keeps the rack in place and keep it from sliding. Aside from that, the rack has a rotating carousel which can be rotated 360 degrees. This is helpful when choosing my choice of pods.
The bottom part has a wider opening so that the Nespresso capsules can easily be taken out of the carousel.
The Kuuk Nespresso Coffee Capsules Rack is convenient and easy to use and keeps the capsules in order. It works as it should and saves space as well.

Kitchen Classique Set of 3 Garment Bags With Shoe Bag Review

When I bring formal clothes on the go, I place them in a garment bag so that they'll be protected from dirt and prevent them from getting wrinkled. Aside from that, I store some of our formal clothes inside garment bags when I hang them so that they'll stay wrinkle-free.
When I received the Kitchen Classique set of 3 garment bags, I looked forward to trying it on some of our formal clothes.
The Kitchen Classique garment bags arrived in a plastic packaging. Each bag measures 40x23.5 inches and has a black color. The zipper is located on the center of the garment bag and glides smoothly so it's easy to open and close the bag.
There is a clear plastic window on one side of the garment bag and this is helpful so that I can see what's inside the garment bag. I wouldn't have to open the bag or guess which clothes are inside the bag.
The top has an opening for the hook of the hanger. Aside from that, this set of 3 garment bags came with a free black drawstring bag for shoes which measures 16 x 12.5 inches.
These garment bags are perfect for formal wear like suits and evening dresses but this is also perfect for long sleeved shirts or polo shirts. I also like how these bags are breathable since I don't have to worry about stored clothes smelling musty in the future.
The Kitchen Classique garment bag is great to use to store our formal wear clothes. It keeps clothes clean and wrinkle-free so it's perfect to use when I bring them on the go as well.

BriaUSA Set of 50 Gold Metal Hangers Review

I hang most of our clothes because they're easier to find and at the same time, they're less prone to wrinkles and folds. I mostly use plastic hangers because metal hangers tend to bend and clothes usually just slip off the hangers. When I received the BriaUSA set of 50 gold metal hangers, I looked forward to trying it because they look more sturdy compared to my old metal hangers.
The BriaUSA set of 50 gold metal hangers arrived neatly packed in a box. It is gold in color and measures 18x8 inches. In my experience, these hangers are sturdier compared to my the other metal hangers I have. Since they are thin, they are also a great space saver. These are great for my dresses, shirts, sweaters but not the heavy coats. It does tend a little with the heavy coats but I'm not complaining since I don't have a lot of heavy coats. The main thing I noticed was that the tip of the hook was a bit sharp.
With these hangers from BriaUSA, I am confident that my clothes wouldn't slip off and I like how sturdy, durable and thin these hangers are.

BriaUSA Set of 50 Childrens Heavy Duty Metal Hanger Review

I hang most of my 2 daughters' clothes because they look much more organized and easier to find compared to folding them. I have plenty of children's plastic hangers for their clothes but this is the first time I've tried a metal hanger for them. Honestly, I am not fond of metal hangers because from experience, they bend easily, specially with heavy clothing. So, when I was given the chance to try the BriaUSA's set of 50 children's heavy duty metal hanger, I grabbed the opportunity to try it.
The BriaUSA's set of 50 children's heavy duty metal hanger came in a box. The hangers are made of 13 gauge steel and has a gold color. These are 13 inches in length and are thin.
I tried it on my daughters' dresses, they're 4 and 7 years old, and the hangers held up pretty well. I like these hangers because they save a lot of closet space. They're also sturdy and durable and doesn't bend easily.
The tips of the hooks are a bit sharp but the rest of the hangers are smooth. Compared to using plastic hangers, these metal hangers from BriaUSA gave me more closet space for my daughters' clothes because they're thin and doesn't take up much space.
I love how these come in a set of 50 metal hangers because I was able to hang most of my daughters' clothes. They're durable and sturdy despite looking thin.

Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set Review

I used to buy ground pepper and other ground spices but after trying out grind whole spices, like black pepper fresh, I didn't go back to the prepacked ground spices. Why? I noticed a difference in taste and freshness when I grind my spices when I use them.
The Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set is very handy because it's reusable and holds about 3/4 cups of spices. It came in a set of 2 and each set comes with a glass bottle and a stainless steel cover. The grinder is kept clean by the removable stainless steel on top. I also like how I can adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind by turning the black knob inside either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The glass bottle has a wide mouth opening so refilling is easy. I like how I can buy the whole spices in plastic packaging because they are cheaper compared to the bottled ones.
Turning the mill is easy and doesn't require much effort. I combined different whole spices to make my own blend of steak/chicken spice.
By adjusting the knob inside, I was able to choose my desired grind size and in a few seconds, I was able to freshly grind my own steak/chicken spice.
The Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set is very easy to use and I like how I don't need much effort on my wrist to grind the spices. Each bottle holds approximately 3/4 cups of spices and this is a lot. I also like how I can easily see the amount of spice left inside the bottle so that I can estimate if I have to refill it. I also like that I can just refill it with a new spice because it's reusable.
This works as it should and I like how I can have freshly ground spice every time.

Zitrades Pack Of 2 Diagnostic Penlights With White LED Light Review

My daughters have bumped their heads a couple of times already and I always check their pupils to see if they're equal and aren't dilated. Unequal and/or dilated pupils after bumping the head might be a sign of concussion so for me, I always check their pupils when they accidentally bump their head.
When I received the Zitrades Diagnostic Penlight, I looked forward to trying it. This came in a pack of 2 different colored penlight.
The pack of 2 diagnostic penlight from Zitrades came in a metallic fuchsia pink and a metallic blue one. Both have a metal casing and both have a pupil gauge guide printed on the penlight.
This set of diagnostic penlight emit a steady stream of white LED light. It is pre-focused and can be used to check the pupils, nose, throat and ears. The penlight can be turned on by clicking the button on the top of the penlight. It also has a metal clip so that I can place this securely on my pocket, shirt or bag.
I also like that I can use this as a flashlight. Although it's not as bright as our flashlight at home, this is great to use when I need extra light in the car or at home. It's the same length as a regular pen but a bit thicker in diameter. It is still compact and easy to bring on my bag, which is nice as well.

Fusion4K High Speed 4K HDMI Cable Review

Professional Series Fusion4K HDMI cable. Supports full 4K UltraHD resolution (3840x2160). 4 times the clarity of 1080p video. 32 audio channels and 18Gbps bandwidth. 24-karat gold plated connectors. HDMI 2.0 supported. 1 year replacement warranty.
I received the Fusion 4K High Speed 4K HDMI 3 ft. cable.
This cord is shorter but heavier compared to my other HDMI cables at home because of the super thick cord.
It's easy to install since I just have to plug one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on our TV and the other end on our Roku.
The 3 ft. cable is a bit short but since our Roku is just under our TV, the length was just right. Fusion4K offers longer HDMI cables which is nice.
I like how thick the cord of the Fusion4K HDMI cable is because it looks durable. I also love how this made the picture quality really clear. I also like how I can use this cable when I want to connect my laptop to our TV.
The Fusion4K High Speed 4K HDMI Cable works like it should.
