Alpicool C20

In January of 2020 I bought an Alpicool C20 refrigerator / freezer. At that time I had set up a solar array and had turned one room in my home into a 12 volt off grid space.

We live in Hurricane Alley and I had that room set up to sustain us for 3-5 days, if there were no sun to recharge the solar.

I called the room the “Life Boat”. It had lighting, radios, ham radios, a laptop with a TV dongle and of course the Alpicool C20. When I got it I reviewed it and you can find it here. Essentially since January of 2021 this fridge has been in constant use. Basically, 5 years of use.

The Ultimate Floor Cleaning Solution – UWANT D100

The Ultimate Floor Cleaning Solution – UWANT D100

Subsequently, I showed my wife the product link and she told me “that looks amazing, and please say yes”. I was in the Navy and know how to follow orders. I received the UWANT D100 approximately 2 weeks ago and my life hasn’t been the same since.

I’m retired, and my wife works. She gently encourages me to run the vacuum daily despite the fact that I’m a very important person on the internet. 😆. I find myself using this wet dry vacuum on a daily basis because I WANT to use it. It’s fun. And it is pretty doggone amazing.

Our house has hard wood floors, linoleum, tile, and carpet. And it’s a pretty big house. We have every kind of cleaner, mop, and vacuum you can imagine. We have struggled though with keeping the hard wood floors clean around here. No more.

Also it needs to be stated that at no time has UWANT attempted to influence my review. They did provide some testing recommendations which were more than reasonable to showcase the D100, but gave me free reign to do as I saw fit. Let’s take a peek at why I love this machine so much.
