O'Cedar Robotic Floor Cleaner: Product Review

By

A few weeks ago ALDI had this O'Cedar Robotic Floor Cleaner for $19.99. I have always wanted an iRobot Roomba or Scooba but $600 for Rosie from the Jetson's was never in the budget. I decided to give this a whirl since it was only $20 and I know ALDI has a wonderful satisfaction guarantee. 

1. For entertainment value, this thing is awesome! Our five-year-old likes to let it bump off of him and see what it does and Stella, our Boston Terrier is sure that it came to play. (I think it has a good chance of dying an early death at our house.)

2. For cleaning purposes, this is what I should have expected for $20. It is a bare floor duster with a static cling-type pad that velcros to the bottom. It is great at picking up dog hair and dust. It leaves behind anything that is heavy or sticky. I would say it compares to a Swiffer. 

3. It comes with 3 cleaning pads and I am not sure if you could rinse, dry and reuse. I haven't tried it yet but I fully intend to. O'Cedar sells more of the cleaning pads, but I am really of an anti-disposable mindset, so I will see what I can come up with.

4. It moves in a random pattern and changes directions when it runs into an obstacle. It would fall down stairs if they aren't blocked. I have been happy with is going under couches and tables, which I never get to with my bare floor vacuum. I have been disappointed with how it gets itself stuck in corners behind furniture. 

Overall: I probably wouldn't purchase it again, but it has been a fun little "toy" for the time being.  It does not substitute for actual sweeping and does not handle obstacles all that well. If you lived in a roller skating rink, it would be great!

    Great review - I really liked seeing both the pros and cons, in addition to your final opinion. It's great to know that it picks up all of the little dog hairs - even the ones that somehow get under the couch. But the fact that it gets stuck all of time does sound quite awful. Thanks for the insight!

    The robotic vacuum cleaning world was pioneered by iRobot's Roomba, but there are numerous alternatives for sale these days at prices ranging from $100 to $1,000.

Product Review: Crofton Enameled Cast Iron (Dutch Oven and Braiser)

By

**2019 Update - I still have both pieces and use them regularly. (So much that they hardly make it back in the cupboard between use and cleaning.) I've managed to chip the enamel off the handles while putting them away or cleaning, but that hasn't impacted their use. For those deciding whether or not to purchase, please remember that Aldi has a really good return policy. If you open it and it is not as expected, then they will gladly refund or replace. Original 2016 post below. I have two tiny Le Crueset pots (cocottes) that I inherited from my grandmother, but just about fell over when I looked to buy larger pieces at a Le Crueset outlet this summer. The 5 quart Dutch Oven that I could get at ALDI for $29.99 would run me $270 to $300 in Le Crueset. I purchased the braiser as a Christmas gift for myself and asked my mom to pick up the dutch oven.  I am thrilled with the performance of both and honestly notice no differences between them and the LeCrueset. Having said that, I

I Got a Mattress at ALDI? Review of Huntington Home Memory Foam Queen Mattress

--Update for June 2017 - still loving our Aldi mattress and it's wearing well. (3 years old and no problems) ***See update for July 2015 at the bottom of the post*** I know this sounds strange to buy a mattress from a grocery store and I have reserved posting about this until I had a month to decide if I liked the mattress or not...but here it goes! I bought my new mattress at a grocery store and I LOVE IT! My last mattress was a pillow-top Englander mattress that my parents bought me as a college graduation present to help me furnish my first apartment. My husband and I have slept on that thing for 12 years and we had flipped it, rotated it, and flipped it again trying to postpone what I was sure was going to be a $1000 purchase to get a mattress we could agree on. So when I was reading that ALDI was going to offer a 10" memory foam for $199.99, we did a little research and decided to jump at it. At that price, we figured it would only have to last a year or two to fee
