REVIEW – Few people I’ve met really like cleaning house. Many who say they do most likely like the result of cleaning house, not the process. All my life, I’ve used a canister vacuum, and thought uprights were somehow not as good. I was recently sent my second upright to review, the MooSoo Model

REVIEW – I send many packages that require labels- most of them Amazon returns or eBay shipments. Normally I’d print out a sheet of paper, cut out the excess, and tape the remainder on the box. Seems a little wasteful. With a label printer, I figure I’d save a lot of steps, plus no more
