52 of 52 people found the following review helpful Works OK (for a while), but you could do better, November 7, 2009 By  David C. Filmer "David Filmer" (Portland, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Springstar S415 Kitchen Fruit Fly Trap (Lawn & Patio) What you get is two McCormick's spice jars (exact same jars as used for spices) and two packets of bait. Add water and they will attract fruit flies, for about two weeks, when the bait will grow a thick, spongy greenish-white fungus. There is no poison involved - the fruit flies enter the spice jar through the holes, being attracted by the scent of the bait, but once they enter they are not smart enough to figure out how to get out, and eventually drown. About a week after I bought these traps, I used some apple cider vinegar and set the bottle aside. I noticed that many fruit flies were attracted to the bottle, where some vinegar had dribbled. The vinegar bottle was only a few inches away from the spice-bottle traps, so apple cider vinegar must be very appealing to fruit flies, as many flies ignored the trap and were attracted to the vinegar bottle instead. So I made my own simple and inexpensive trap by taking a small jar, punching a few holes in the top (about the diameter of a pencil) and adding apple cider vinegar. It works GREAT (as good as the commercial trap), and the vinegar does not spoil or grow fungus, so it lasts a LONG time. And, the acid of the vinegar will actually dissolve the fruit flies (after about 12 hours), so it doesn't make this nasty mess. I give two stars (instead of one) because it works as described, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

Glosser "wineplacenw" (Everett, WA United States) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Springstar S415 Kitchen Fruit Fly Trap (Lawn & Patio) Was hoping this fruit fly trap was a cheaper alternative to the much more expensive trap sold by Gardener's Supply Company. Cheaper is all I got...requires you to add water. Yes, the trap worked for a couple (3) weeks, but the trap itself started smell'n funky, so in the trash it went. Stink is not a problem with the more expensive "dry" type, lasts for 1 month, but mine worked for 2 months or more.

50 of 50 people found the following review helpful Works great but it's covered under warranty, March 14, 2011 By  The Thin Tow Man (Mobile, AL, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: GE WR55X10942 Refrigerator Main Control Board (Tools & Home Improvement) If you are reading this, odds are your GE Profile fridge is quite warm on a Sunday night. You are desperately trying to figure out what's wrong. This board may solve your problems. It is a recalled part so you may be able to get it from GE for free. After what we went through, I hope amazon leaves this review up as a service to their customers. In return, the customers can spend their money on other amazon items. The problem was as follows. We have a GE Profile fridge, Model PSC23NGSA (from 2005) with the vertical side by side doors. (I think these are called "French doors".) Neither the fridge or the freezer was staying cool. The fridge was making a clicking sound. Opening the doors, the display on the front was flashing "HRS". We did some basic troubleshooting. Put the food into coolers to try and save it as well as clear the vents. We unplugged and plugged the fridge back in. We made sure it was not in demo mode. The thermostat had been replaced in the past so that rules that out. Doing some web searches showed that this has happened to others as well. The original board was recalled by GE on November 7, 2006. There was a letter that was sent out to technicians about this but not to customers. We called GE at 18003861215, option 3. We stated what the refrigerator was doing. We brought up the recall and stated we wanted this part. Initially, GE was going to ship the part out in 3-5 days. My wife ordered them to overnight it. With President's Day, we got it the following day due to the post office. Installing it was fairly straightforward for me. Below are the steps I used. Your experience may be different. Tools required: socket wrench, SAE socket set, needle nose pliers, light Steps: Unplug fridge from wall outlet Move it to where you can get at cover plate Remove cover plate using the socket wrench Make a diagram or take pictures of which connectors went to what locations on the board Unplug connectors. You may have to use the pliers. Remove old board. It rests on these plastic standoffs Put in new board Plug in connectors into new board. Move fridge back in to place Plug into wall outlet I found a parts diagram online. If you've ever swapped a motherboard in a computer, you can definitely do this. The instructions will walk you through it. If you have the model with the freezer on the bottom, one would cut some wires before installing. The instructions go over that as well. After you are done installing the board, it will take about 2 to 3 hours to get back cool. This even in an empty fridge. I've had it installed for just over a week now. The fridge is back in service. My wife says the freezer seems to be colder. Overall, frustrating, but resolved now. Hopefully this will help someone else out there.

Bahr "Lee" (Kingwood, Texas United States) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: GE WR55X10942 Refrigerator Main Control Board (Tools & Home Improvement) My 2 year old bottom freezer refrigerator started to have the classic symptoms, not always cooling, one second clicking sound when not cooling. Some times the refrigerator cooled but not the freezer part. Sometimes neither part cooled while the fridge started to click. (Clicking is from relay noise). I ordered this universal board for my fridge from Amazon.com. I took advantage of the FREE shipping. It arrived quickly in a timely fashion. It was a sealed GE factory board and not a brand X board. First class! The board came with clear instructions to be used for your particular refrigerator. In my case, I removed the small rear panel on the back side of the fridge to expose the board. You then unplug the fridge, pull out the connector plugs from the board, remove the ground wire under a screw, remove the board off of 4 plastic standoff spacers, install the new board onto the spacers and then plug in all the wire connectors onto the new board. My new board had many more parts on it then the old board. You cannot plug the wrong connector into a wrong socket. Each connector has a different number of pins on it so any one plug will fit into only one socket. In some cases a wire needs to be cut on one of the plugs per the instructions, but for my model this was not neccessary. Also, for BOTTOM FREEZER refridgerators, you need to take the lower panel off exposing the compressor and check if you have a start capacitor on your fridge. (The diagram shows you where the start capacitor would be located if you have one). If you have one, you need to cut a ground wire off a plug. In my case no wire needed to be cut as I had no start capacitor on my fridge. In short all I had to do was to swap out boards on the fridge and then put the panels back in place with screws. For tools I needed a Phillips screw driver, but to remove the old board a pair of needle nose plyers helped removing the old board off the stand off legs as they needed to be squeezed before the board could be lifted off the standoffs one at a time. There are 4 plastic standoff legs holding the board in place. I didn't need to cut any wires but if you did need to cut one or two a small wire cutter would be handy. Otherwise a pocket knife would do the job. If you follow the clear instructions you won't make a mistake. In my case I could replace the board again now that I did it once in less then 5 minutes. Doing it the first time, so you don't mistake, should take you no more the 15 to 20 minutes being very careful. One last thing, THE BOARD FIXED THE REFRIGERATOR! (Please understand after reoplacing the board and turning the fridge on again, once plugging it back into the wall, will require hours of operation before the fridge and freezer are cold enough to turn the compressor off. In my case, with an empty fridge, I got tired of waiting to see if it would turn off after three hours of operation watching it. When I checked the next day, it was cold and not running. Everything was working just fine. It took a long time before it shut off even when the fridge was empty. (So be patient). You can do the repair yourself and save a lot of money! The part from Amazon cost about half the list price of the board, no tax, and I also saved the cost of the repairman's labor. In my case I had actually called a repairman, two weeks later he had the board but never showed up on his appointment. I fired him and did the job myself quicker and for less money.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful Great addition to any play kitchen!, September 21, 2011 By  Paige Navin (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews    = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  This review is from: Educo Whip-It-Up Mixer (Toy) The Educo Whip-It-Up Mixer is sturdy and painted bright, bold colors. I love that it's also wooden and built really well. My 3yo loves to mix up stuff just like Mommy. The whisk lifts and spins; the speed knob turns. The only caveat I have is that the bowl does not actually stay put. A simple fix would be for Educo to have a small well in the bottom to hold the bowl better. While this bothers me a bit, my son does not mind at all. His favorite thing to mix is marbles.

Pratt (North Carolina) - See all my reviews    = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Educo Whip-It-Up Mixer (Toy) We purchased this item for Christmas. It is now July and our children have played with this many times and it is in perfect condition. We have a 3 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. Our son is not as gentle as our daughter, but this has easily held up to both of their play styles. Our daughter enjoys pretending to work in the kitchen just like mommy and daddy and she likes the turn handle that rotates the whisk. The whisk lifts and the bowl is easily removed in both positions. We also purchased the matching coffee maker and have been very happy with both items.
