Product review: Homewizer Extra Large, 23” x 18” Silicone Dish Drying Mat - does not lay flat


I purchased a large silicone drying mat. It is 23 inches by 18 inches. I received it folded many times, and I cannot get it to lay flat. It is disappointing. It would have been better if it had been mailed flat or rolled.

It has ridges for dripping and a hole on one side for hanging. Even though the hole is convenient for storing the mat, and it is slightly raised, it still lets the water seep out onto the counter. It would be better if the mat had a loop instead of a hole.

Product review: Dr. Uang watering can - when one gallon can is not not one gallon


 

I purchased a watering can advertised as a one gallon watering can. When I received this can, it looked small. Sure enough, it is not one gallon, as stated in the description. It measured 3/4 of the gallon, which is about what you get when you convert 3 liters into gallons. The description should be more accurate when sold in the US market.

The spout is made out of three pieces. I think it will start leaking soon because I have hard water that will gum up the connections. The water comes out in a very gentle shower, which I like.

However, the size is not described correctly, and the size is the major factor in the rating.

Product review: Slofunife Pinwheels - Step-by-step slow-mo video of pinwheel assembly


 

These spinners are visually appealing and add a decorative touch to my garden. I installed them with the intention of deterring rabbits from my vegetables.

I used to see the rabbit family continuously through the day, While I haven't observed any rabbits on the first day after installation, it is too early to determine their effectiveness definitively. If they stops avoiding them, they still look pretty.


Assembly was straightforward after understanding the initial step, which involved attaching the leaves to the yellow clips for subsequent threading through the plastic arm.

The spinwheels are pretty sturdy; the sticks, however, are not. They are made out of plastic straws, and some were loose-fitting. Two out of twelve too were loose. I had to make them shorter by throwing out the loose parts.
