Quickly it became an everyday thing! I love this Moka pot more than any other item in my kitchen other than my actual coffee pot brewer! I had bought a cheap one elsewhere and that lasted about three weeks before falling apart. I spent a little more money for a quality product and have never looked back! I recommend this particular Moka pot as it was slightly more than the cheap ones but less than some of the bigger name brands. It has lasted me over two years now without any issues.

So even if I'm trying to do a slightly more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's super lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyemakeup - and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes."

I purchased for a winter trip but started using immediately during a cold snap. I walked around a lake in freezing conditions. Turned these on in my pockets and couldn't believe how well they work. Things I love: You can adjust the heat settings easily with a rubbery push button that isn't easily triggered. You can see which setting it's on with 1-4 red lights. I did not wear gloves and tried out each setting. They warm up quickly. Lowest setting was not lukewarm but warm enough for cold pockets. The highest setting gets really hot. Almost too hot to hold directly without a glove but not so hot you'll get burned. I love that you can take your hands out of your pockets and hold them easily because they have a grippy side. I walked around for a bit with my hands out of pockets, and they didn't get cold." -Angela Gil

There really are no cons to this printer except sometimes the color is a little distorted. It depends on what your purpose for this printer is but the quality really isn't that bad. I would say out of 50 photos, maybe five I have wanted to reprint. I mean, they are going in my first child's baby album, it's not like I'm putting crap quality in there. Definitely not a dealbreaker for everything else that is great about it." -McCleskeyFam

Promising review: "I have had laser removal from a professional service and spent thousands on it. The results weren't complete and I still have to shave the area. With this at-home product, I have noticed a big difference already. Totally recommend. My hair is coming in less often and much lighter. I love that I can do this at home and on my own schedule. The price point is awesome. I personally have not used the cooling feature because I do have a higher pain tolerance. The laser itself isn't too bad at all. I pretty much went to level four right away. For reference, I have medium olive skin with almost black hair. I have been using it all over: Brazilian, legs, one arm (the other has a tattoo sleeve, do NOT do this over tattoos), armpits, chin, upper lip, between eyebrows - big difference with all of them. 100% recommend!" -Kirsten
