Terrarium Humidifier Review

I'm a bit terrarium obsessed. 

Possibly because my sister's name Terra is in terrarium, but more likely because they are so dang cute! I like little mushrooms, flowers, moss and animals.

Ohderii makes a humidifier | terrarium that is adorable!

I like that it had two functions.

Humidifier: The top gets filled up with water and/or essential oils to steam. The container is perfect, for just the right amount of water. I find with most steamers I don't use the full amount of water, and end up having to get rid of it. I don't want to turn on the steam later on, and have mold going up in the air. With this one I don't have to worry about all that.

Having asthma and a nose unlike others it's important I keep moisture in the air.

The steamer also comes with an extra filter.

Terrarium: The bottom is an enchanting scene. It has flowers, plants, moss, a mushroom and a bunny.

Colors:

You can get the top in pink or blue.

It changes colors. The first time I used it, it changed through seven colors. The second time I used it, it didn't light up. I don't know if it broke, or if I need to press somewhere to get the colors to start lighting up. Regardless it's still wonderful to look at. 

USB Powered:

It has a USB plug. I kind of wish it was powered by a regular cord. I had it plugged into my laptop to run. I got up, not thinking, and it spilled all over. Thankfully not on my laptop. I'm just not used to USB powered things except for devices like phones, computers, kindles, and so on.

Where to Get This:

You can get this at amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792WDDX5, for $15.28 on Prime.

With your decor do you like modern or cute? I have both. I'm eclectic.

AutoRight SteamMachine #Giveaway

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. I received a AutoRight SteamMachine in exchange for this review. All opinions are mine.

I've loved every single product I've gotten from HomeRight. 

Their new AutoRight SteamMachine is certainly a product that did not disappoint my family. In fact both of my boys were fighting over who got to use it. They both got turns to use it under careful supervision. We had talks about not getting too close to the heat.

You can get the same steamer I got to review on Amazon.

It's been awhile since I've cleaned out my car both on the inside and on the outside, so I put my boys and I to work. We used the AutoRight SteamMachine to clean the mats off. They were dirty for sure!

Before and After

We only cleaned 1/2 the mat. The front of the mat was cleaned, where the back wasn't yet. Can you tell the difference?

The 290° F steam is powerful enough to disinfect surfaces from germs and bacteria. It's also gentle as to not to damage fabric and leather. 

How to Use:

1. AutoRight SteamMachine is easy to use. There is a plug, which I happen to like more than battery operated machinery. 


2. Fill it with water. They have a cup and funnel included.





3. Push the button on. I did have trouble seeing in the sunlight. At first I thought it wasn't working. I cupped my hand over the power light, and saw that it was in fact on. When we finished up, I still had water in it. I took it inside to clean parts of my shower. The water has to be used up, or it needs to be dumped out. I had no problem seeing the power light inside, where the sun wasn't so bright. It only takes a total of 8 minutes to charge up! That's not long at all. 


4. Before using it, add an attachment. There are a lot of attachments stored in the front of the machine. The cup, funnel and squeegee are all too big to fit inside the steamer. The squeegee is used to clean shower doors, and windows. There are wire bristle cleaners for grills, and stoves. We used the soft nylon bristle cleaners for the car mats.
   
   Tool List: 8-foot long reach hose, 8-foot power cord, 1 jet nozzle, 1 large rigid black nylon brush, 1 small rigid black nylon brush, 1 large brass brush, 1 small brass brush, 1 small soft grey nylon brush, 1 large soft grey nylon brush, 1 microfiber towel, 1 squeegee with terrycloth bonnet, 1 accessory adaptor, 1 crevice tool, 1 funnel and a measuring cup to fill the 40 ounce steam canister. AutoRight products are backed by an industry-leading 2-year warranty.  

All the Things I Love About the AutoRight SteamMachine:

• You can use it for just a few minutes by putting less water in it, or up to 30 minutes with a full cup of water.

• I love the how many different things the steamer can clean! It just has so many tools. It's really versatile. 

• The wait time of 8 minutes isn't bad at all. 

• I think it's easy to carry around. It's not heavy, and it's sweet that it has a handle. 

• This is kind of an odd like, but I love that it's red! Red's my favorite color.

Stainless Steel Veggie Steamer Review

We've had a steamer for about 12 years now. It was looking run down. It's been accidentally left in the water too many times. We have another steamer that came to fit inside a big pot. We often times use more than one steamer when it's breakfast time. One to boil some eggs, and another to steam some greens. It seems like one, or both steamers are always in use.

I've been wanting to replace the smaller steamer that we've had for 12 years. It's served it's purpose.

Luckily I got a new Sunsella Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer to review. 

It folds up smaller than my other one. I love that it's more compact, and expands to fit a lot of different sized pots. The diameter 5.3" - 9.25", and the height range (legs included) 2" - 3.35".

Things You Can Make in a Steamer:

• Vegetables
• Fruits 
• Eggs
• Seafood (fish, mussels, crabs, and clams)
• Dumplings
• Meat and Chicken   
• Some Desersts
• Making Baby Food
• More...

  
About Sunsella Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer

• It's 100% high-grade stainless steel. That includes the legs.
• It wont rust like the cheaper aluminum versions. 
• The center post and legs are attached. No assembly is required.
• It's easy to remove from many sizes of pans with a custom designed central ring. The ring on our old one was not as nice as this one.   
• Your veggies stay tender, and have a perfect crunch at the same time. 
• It's $24 and it's marked down to $11.99 on Amazon. That really is a steel in my book; for how much we use a steamer in our house.

What We Thought 

I thought it worked great! I used it to make broccoli, and hard boiled eggs. I want to use it to make gluten free chicken and dumplings soon. Will it just sit in our kitchen and not get used? Nope! We'll used it a lot. The only difficulty I had was getting pictures for my readers - you. The broccoli kept steaming up my lens. I just waited a bit, and got a photo.
 

Do you use a steamer in your kitchen? What do you use it for?

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

HomeRight SteamMachine Plus Steam Machine Review

We have all wood floors, minus the kitchen and bathroom, which are a laminate.

I love them because they look nice, clean up easily, do not absorb/trap in spills, and are great for allergy suffers like me.

I hate them because I'll sweep, and 15 minutes later if I sweep again I'll get more stuff up, they always seem dirty and they are not soft to walk on like carpet is.

I've used a few steamers in the past. Recently I got to try out a HomeRight SteamMachine Plus with a Handheld Unit to review. A $124.99 value.

The 205 degree temperature steam at nozzle kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph. I love that it kills so many germs!

It cleans best on laminate, hardwood, tile, stone, vinyl and linoleum.

Included in Box:

• Detachable Steamer
• Steamer Frame
• Mop Head
• Carpet Glider
• (2) Microfiber Mop Pads
• Squeegee/Fabric Steamer
• Cotton Bonnet for Squeegee/Fabric Steamer
• Small Nylon Brush
• Large Nylon Brush
• Angled Jet Nozzle
• Grout Brush
• Scraper
• Straight Adaptor
• Measuring Cup
• Manual *Can also be seen online

Specifications:

• 205 degree F steam
• 20 Minute Run Time
• Heats Up in 30 Seconds
• 12 Ounce Water Tank
• 1500 Watts
• 120 Volts
• 16 Foot Cord
• UL Safety Listed

There are 5 main things that I really like about the HomeRight SteamMachine Plus over other steamers that I've used in the past.

1.  It has more of a standard 2 prong plug. We had an electrician come out that changed many of our outlets to a 2. Other steamers I've had in the past were 3. It made it such a pain because the cord wasn't long enough to go from room to room. this one I could plug it in just about anywhere.


2. I like the plus feature in the unit. Look at the blue part of the unit. It comes out to use for smaller areas. It works great in areas where the floor separates. There's a brush, so if something is really stuck on the floor, you can use that to help break it up.


3. I love all the attachments! There's just so many to choose from. They included 6 attachments that are ideal for cleaning and disinfecting stove tops, ovens, grills, counter tops and bathrooms. 


4. It can clean carpet. While we only have a few rugs, I think this is a nice feature to have in a steamer. There's an additional triangle base that gets added to clean carpets.


5. I liked how the cleaning pad rinsed out. I've had others the held on to the melted on/packed on dirt.

Here's 4 things I didn't prefer:

1. I wish there was a compartment for all the attachments. On the upside the handle does fold down for easy storage.


2. I don't prefer that everything is plastic.


3. Maybe I was using the machine wrong, but I had to push down on the button the whole time for the steam to happen. My thumb got tired.


4. The knob to add water was difficult to open.

All the Attachments:

I know I'll be using these for food spills, and sometimes Isaak puts stickers on our floor. They'd work great to help get that kind of stuff up and off the floor!

I know the scraper one would work great for getting dried wall paint off the wood floor. We're in need of some touch up paint. The small one will be great to get in corners, cracks and other small places.

The water goes where the black knob is. It uses tap water, or distilled water. I know it says I can use tap water, but I feel like the machine will last longer with distilled water. 

The unit heated up, and was ready to steam fairly quickly.

Here's my colorful kitchen floor after a big party. I think it cleaned it pretty good. The padded mat usually goes under the sink, but was pushed around, so I could clean there.

What I love about any steamer is that the water dries so fast! It's helpful when you have kids. They don't have the patients to wait to walk on a floor. It's also great that you don't have to use any chemicals to clean.

 

Before and After

I cleaned all of upstairs after a family get together. I liked the results!

Before

After

Here's what the plus part of the steamer looks like. It's pretty handy. All the attachments fit up to it. How cool is that?

I know I'll be using this steamer like crazy!
