HOME & OFFICE –
OK, particularly bc the price tag is steeper and tech products a little more serious, you should understand that my particular printing needs and expectations are minimal; I bought this in 2021. I love it bc it’s a 2-in-1 printer/scanner, and I use both equally minimally, but probably the scanner more (I don’t have a smart phone): when I print, it’s either a black & white document, or a graphic that I end up editing/drawing over to be scanned back to my computer. No complaints. It was easy to set up, and easy to use. (I’m not a techie but I get the gist of assembly fairly quickly) The color printing is not great as 1 reviewer pointed out, but they also give a helpful tip on how to adjust for print quality, and I didn’t buy this for image/print quality. Overall, I understood that the RGB color I see on my web screen is not the reality output of a CMYK printer, and of course out of all my first prints to make, it was a 17th century painting pic. I bought the refillable ink w the printer.
HOME, BATHROOM & KITCHEN –
The crazy thing about these bathroom hand towels is that they’re not much to look at—the colors are more muted in person—BUT I LOVE THESE BATHROOM HAND TOWELS! They’re soooo soft. They’re also weirdly narrow, but I think this is ballpark standard size of a bathroom hand towel (w most being a little wider). But they do the job, and I don’t need a bunch of cloth hanging around one of the nastiest rooms in a house. They’re soft, agreeable-looking enough, fast-drying and absorbent. I have the orange Striped Pattern and blue Diamond Plaid Pattern (which gives more length & width, and that I may try in a different color). I handwash these, as I do all my laundry, long story, hence the galvanized steel tub (that I bought in 2021). I had a neat little hand-me-down wash bucket that I used before to wash things here and there, but it looks like I graduated to the big leagues when I wanted a bigger tub for my sheets. Long story. And better lids for my Mason Jars. I love these lids. (The standard lids rust and spot badly) I love Mason Jars, and I use them for storing things like rice & dry cereal, and homemade cashew, almond and oat milk. And as drinking glasses! I bought the measuring cups & mixing bowl in 2016, no complaints.
HOME & BATHROOM –
I bought all this in 2017. I chucked the caddy in ’21 because it developed a black (oxidization) stain in the middle of the bottom aluminum bar, which is ironic bc I never experienced mold on the wood like other reviewers said, and nobody said anything about black stains on the aluminum! But it’s beautiful in design & simplicity, so I may just gamble on another and buy some aluminum cleaner (+ better/additional suction cups—1 stopped working, but after a while). It’s doubled in price since ’17 like the drying rack, which I’ve been hanging on to for dear life, especially bc they stopped selling it for a while. 2-3 of the lines started unfastening from the holes but it was made like new w some Gorilla Glue! This has served me well so I’ll probs buy another just so I can do and hang more laundry at once. I love my bamboo mat, and I use it for the bathroom—it’s still in good condition.
