The Lasko 3300 20 inch Wind Machine, is a great fan. I have been using them in my office, warehouse, home and in an underground parking lot at the apartment I live in (and manage), for more than a decade. Using them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, they normally last 3 to 10 years each. I do wish there was a discount in shipping, when ordering in quantity.

Great style! Great look!
The top tilts open for the mail to be gropped in and your mail is secure. The only limitation I can think of is it cannot accomodate packages easily, but very few mailboxes can.
Pricey for a mailbox, but the aesthetics are hard to beat.

Holmes HAOF910-UC Blizzard Table Fan with Removable Grill Review

Holmes HAOF910-UC Blizzard Table Fan with Removable Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Even though there was no image for this fan, we liked the floor Blizzard so much I ordered this one, anyway, because of the removable grill. This little fan can move air! Boy, can it move air; and it's going to be a fantastic tool to remove smoke from the house when the wood stove back-drafts this winter....and a wonder at drying herbs in the garden shed....BUT, this thing is so loud you have to shout over it even when it's on the low setting. It's like having a jet engine in the house! So, if you want to move air in a big way, I'd highly recommend it. But, if you want a fan for the bedroom for a nice little breeze while you sleep, keep looking.

Strip sticks to glass (and spreads over its surface) not to the frame. It is very soft, but could not be deformed to fit and stay in the gap between two window frames. We are very disappointed.

ResQLadder FL25 Three-Story Portable Emergency Escape Ladder, 25 Foot Review

ResQLadder FL25 Three-Story Portable Emergency Escape Ladder, 25 Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two children, ages 6 and 3 1/2 years. Originally, I ordered this ladder and the ladder sold by One Step Ahead because I knew I wanted one in each of their rooms and I thought the one from One Step Ahead would be lighter and easier for our youngest daughter to use. I WAS WRONG. Although lighter, the ladder from One Step Ahead is BULKY and NEITHER of my children could lift it/maneuver it enough to get it into the window during our drills.
Yes, this ladder is heavier. BUT they never lift the whole thing. They drag the box to the window and then take the bottom rung (which is a different color and packaged to sit right on top, so it is easy to find) out and throw it out the window. Then they start throwing handfuls of the rest of the rungs out until the hooks. My 3 1/2 year old had no problem with this during our drill. It didn't take long and definitely beat not being able to make it work at all. I just ordered a second one so that they both have a child friendly ladder.
The storage box is much smaller as well, but we are storing it with the over the windowsill hooks open instead of folded flat because opening them was something they could not consistently do quickly.
I also really liked that it is easy to do drills and refold the ladder back into the box correctly and that more than one person can be supported at a time.

Designed for use from the upper stories of most houses, apartments, condos, and office buildings, the ResQLadder can help you quickly and safely exit a fire or other life-threatening emergency. This portable industrial-strength ladder requires no assembly and arrives ready to go in a corrugated storage box.
Emergency Escape Ladder for Your Home or BusinessWhen every second matters, the ResQLadder gives you a safe means of escaping your home or business if all other exits are unavailable. Made in the USA with strong, 18/20-gauge steel hooks and rungs and a 2/0 double-loop chain, this ladder has been tension tested to over 1,000 pounds. This means more than one person--up to an entire family--can descend at the same time.

Deploys Quickly and EasilyBecause it's parachute-loaded at the factory, the ResQLadder arrives ready for use in the event of an emergency. It deploys quickly from its corrugated storage case, and it easily hooks over any standard window sill.

Customizable Standoffs for StabilityThe ResQLadder arrives with both pre-installed standoffs and additional customizable standoffs. For special wall conditions, like a lower glass window or an obstruction beneath the exit window, the additional standoffs can be specially placed for increased stability. To install standoffs, just hang your ladder out the window and select the best rung for installation, avoiding windows and other obstructions. Take down the ladder and install the standoffs with the screws provided.

If you prefer a more comfortable grip on the ladder's chains, see the chart below for a selection of ResQLadders with Sleeves, which feature plastic chain encasing.

The ResQLadder is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

Antique Brass Sash Crescent Lock Review

Antique Brass Sash Crescent Lock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, the pic that Amazon has for this product is the wrong color, they are not shiny brass, these are antique brass in color (so dark and not shiny).
I wrote my review at HardwareAndTools dot com. You can see the product color there, and they are cheaper there too. I also had to use a washer as a shim for the windows whose sashes were not flush with each other, but a 1/8" thick brass washer worked like a charm to fix that problem!
Pros : Attractive Design, Look work great Cons : Screws too short -only 1"
Best Uses : Old wooden windows, Decoration Describe Yourself : Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Had 12 old wooden windows with no window locks - these look great! I did swap out the included 1" screws with 1 1/4" screws for better hold. Put 2 on each window and now I have peace of mind that my windows are secure.
I also purchased the matching sash pulls: Stanley Hardware N164-848 National 4 Inch Window Sash Lift Antique
National Mfg. N164848 Sash Lift

Bell+Howell 7696 Sonic Wireless Alarm System Review

Bell+Howell 7696 Sonic Wireless Alarm System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just a line here: I've had this type of alarm before. The one I had before and this one work great for what they do. Now, for the down side.
On those old doors--like what I have--in those hundred year old houses--like what I have--the doors are 'sunk' into the wall deeper than in the more modern houses. In modern houses the door is usually flush with the wall and door frame. It's easy to put a deadbolt on that type of door. But the older house's outside doors are sunk in deeper.
You will have trouble fitting one of these magnetic type alarms to the door frame and door. I had to turn mine upside down and put it on backwards (the adhesive side still goes up against the door and frame) and only found one spot on the entire door it would work.
But like I said, these types of alarms are great at what they do...I recommend them--when these stop working I will get more.
BYE!

Love the look of the items... however you have to attach the decorative end to the bent pipe.... it attaches by shoving the plastic insert into the pipe... you need some muscle to do it and can be a challenge as you have to do this after you mount it to the wall otherwise they get in the way.. careful you don't rip it out of the wall if you are using anchors in dry wall!

Transaction was easy and delivery was on time as promised.

Handy Trends Dual Draft Stopper (Gray) Review

Handy Trends Dual Draft Stopper (Gray)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is made of cheap nylon material that slides off the door EVERY time the door is opened. It does not fit snugly between the door and the door frame and cold air still comes in. The only way I think this can be salvaged is to put velcro on the bottom of the door and on the top of the draft guard and attach it. Very disappointing and a total waste of money.

Twin Draft Guard (Brown) Review

Twin Draft Guard (Brown)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The three twin draft guards arrived today which was surprisingly fast. They will work on my doors because the doors aren't routinely used. One is an attic door and two are closet storage doors. I was also surprised by the fact that the guards are not 36" as advertised. They come in two lengths of 18" each. This difference in configuration, 2 pieces as opposed to 1 piece might not work well for some doors.

Red Devil 1170 Plexiglass Cutting Tool Review

Red Devil 1170 Plexiglass Cutting Tool
Average Reviews:

I bought the Red Devil tool from Amazon to cut some Polycarbonate and Acrylic sheets of various sizes and thicknesses. The concept is great, but the tool was SO DULL when it came that it did NOT work. The first cut I made failed (the acrylic sheet broke in pieces). I took a closer look at this cutting tool and discovered it was too dull to scribe the line properly. I happen to own a good metal file and so I sharpened the Red Devil tool. After that, it worked great. So, if you buy one... check that it is sharp before you ruin a $45 sheet of Acrylic like I did!

Deflect-O #52 Deluxe Air Deflector Review

Deflect-O #52 Deluxe Air Deflector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The vents in my house are in some inefficient places, and these deflectors really help direct air where it's needed. The vertical vent on the wall in my upstairs hall blows quite a bit of air, but the one in the master bedroom does not. So I put a deflector on the hall vent to direct the air towards the bedroom and it literally made a 5 or 6 degree difference in the bedroom, I have a thermometer in there to measure it.
These deflectors aren't that sturdy or fancy, but they're made in the USA, are fairly unobtrusive, and work well. They're just clear plastic about the thickness of a CD jewel box but I really don't know what else would perform their function and look decent. If they get stepped on I don't think they'll hold up well, but they're only a few dollars each. Really, in "bang for the buck" these rate very high.
Keep in mind that when they come out of the box they are narrow and don't look like they can get wider, but they will slide open to fit standard heat vents.
The "filter" that ships with the deflector doesn't seem like much, it's just a piece of plastic with a mesh pattern in it, and it's not apparent how to attach it to the deflector. I didn't worry about it. I want maximum airflow out of each vent.

Lock Jaw Security 1001 Door Security Device, Polished Brass Review

Lock Jaw Security 1001 Door Security Device, Polished Brass
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
*4.5 stars*
The Lock Jaw is one of the best home security choices out there. It's very affordable and easy to install. It makes "bump keys" obsolete (keys that can open any lock of a certain type) by ensuring that the deadbolt stays in place. If a criminal has a few bump keys (one for every general type of door lock) then you can almost guarantee that he/she will be able to open your front door with stealth and precision. That's pretty scary! But thanks to the Lock Jaw, even if someone tries to open the door with a key made for the lock, the deadbolt cannot retract. The Lock Jaw in conjunction with the "Master Lock Security Bar" will make your front door (or any door with a deadbolt and conventional knob) virtually immune to a break in.
A burglar would most definitely move on to the windows after encountering either of those products, so make sure to get additional locks for the windows as well (and maybe some type of alarm incase they try to break the glass).
Keep in mind that products like this are designed for keeping you safe when you're inside the house (especially at night when you're sleeping). When no one is home, you can't use the Lock Jaw because that would force you to have to break in/out of your own house. Alarms and other security devices are also recommended in addition to this tool. I purchased the "Lock Jaw" and "Master Lock Security Bar" mainly for my girlfriend and two daughters to use when I'm not home. We use them every night so if someone breaks in while we're sleeping, we'd be able to hear it because they would have to break a window.
My only complaint is the supplied mounting screws are VERY cheap. The screws will get stripped every time, making for a frustrating experience. If you watch the demo video they say that you can also mount this thing with double sided tape or Velcro. I would never use tape just because it would probably be too weak. If you get "locking" velcro, it might stay in place but then you risk the chance of the glue losing it's grip and then you're up the creek without a paddle. I suggest using screws to mount it but get good quality ones. I had two extra screws in my tool box that worked, and chances are you do too. If not, you can always go to a hardware store and drop a couple of dimes to get some that won't strip.
Overall, this is an excellent product. Every door with a deadbolt should have a Lock Jaw, because if the standard lock is so easily bypassed by lock picking and bump keys...what good are they? It's obvious that todays locks need reinforcement and the Lock Jaw is one of several answers to that unfortunate problem.
