One of the most expensive dish washing products and doesn't work at all! Tried putting in in the dispenser at first and the PAC didn't even dissolve. The gelatinous exterior melted away leaving a goey glob at the bottom of the dishwasher, which still looked like the PAC but difficult to clean up! Googled this and it was a common problem! recommendations were to put it in the cutlery tray. So I tried this. This was better but still a good portion of the PAC didn't dissolve properly and there were soap stains on some of the glasses (yes I had rinse agent in the washer!).
Ridiculous- cheapie no name brand powder and gel works 10x better and at a third of the price!

When we lived in the city we started our free trial for netflix. We were really unconvinced as at the time there wasn't a lot on it and since we hadn't watched a lot the recommendations were really odd shows and movies. By the end of the trial it got better and since it was so cheap we decided to sign on. Once we did that the availability of shows and movies completely grew!
We moved to the country shortly after that where TV subscriptions were limited to satellite. As we didn't want to lock into a 3 year contract with a satellite provider right away we agreed we'd spend at least the first 3 months with netflix alone.
2 years later we have NO intention of ever having satellite or cable again.
Netflix is amazing with choice an breadth of programming! No adverts and watching on your own time are other fabulous bonuses! $8 a month for Netflix vs $100 for cable and/or satellite? No contest and the $8 option is WAY better :)

My hubby got this for his birthday and I know a lot of people probably would appreciate a review or two if looking for this for their families. We had a Wii for the longest time, which I did love but the Xbox has so many nifty features we actually put the Wii away since getting it!
This came with KINECT which is both amazing and creepy at the same time- it videos your actual body movements so there are no controllers to deal with- all controls are done with your own movement. This makes the sports and fitness games amazing!
We also use it for netflix now (our only TV subscription), and the format is so much better than the format on the wii. It gives a count down for loading shows (we live in the country our internet tends to be slower than when we lived in town), it lines up the next in a series automatically, when finished a series or movie it gives recommendations immediately.
Oh and EVERYTHING can be done with voice commands too!

Last summer I helped clean RVs before sale and rental. Both new from factory and obviously used rentals were amazingly dirty. Often there were scuff marks down the walls. RV walls are fairly thin material- using anything water or cream based needs to be done in moderation and using anything abrasive is completely out of the question. We used the magic eraser all the time for the units and it did the trick every time! -

I have a glass top cooker. The stove top is IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean. No matter how careful I am cooking there is always black marks left where the pot has been. Before trying vim I use to have to use baking powder and scrub the living daylights out if the marks. In using vim the marks come right off, no scrubbing! -
