Caring for the Earth With GreenWorks

Now that we are deeply embedded into Spring heading quickly towards Summer my mind is on yard work of all sorts. Mowing, weeding, shaping up branches and bushes, all of these things need to be done.

If you’re concerned about emissions and your carbon footprint consider GreenWorks to get your yard work done. Greenworks has many different products to choose from – electric mowers, battery powered chainsaws, electric leaf blowers, and more.

 

The best thing about all of the products that GreenWorks makes is their products have a ZERO carbon footprint. The entire product line will never release an ounce of carbon emission into the air! Isn’t that amazing when we are talking about machines that usually put noxious gas fumes into the air? Here’s a fun fact that GreenWorks provided – Did you know that Fifty-four million Americans mow their lawns every weekend (according to the EPA), using 800 million gallons of gas each year. Also, homeowners spill more than 17 million gallons of gas while refueling. Mowing your yard can feel like following an old clunker of a car down the highway – you inhale gas fumes the entire way. Since GreenWorks products are powered by batteries and electricity you are helping the Earth by using these zero emissions products in place of the gas guzzlers.

Did you know that GreenWorks was a Pro Tool Innovation Award winner in 2014? A panel of judges representing tool professionals from across the United States weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and GreenWorks was selected as a recipient of this honor.

If you’re worried that such a new and innovative company might not make products as sturdy as some of the older “Grandpas” in the industry, remember that GreenWorks backs every tool with a full four-year warranty, and the lithium-ion batteries are backed with a 2 year warranty. GreenWorks has high quality products that are manufactured to last. That’s why they back every product with a warranty that’s twice the industry standard.

I think that the most interesting product that GreenWorks makes is their
20-Inch 12 Amp Electric Discharge Lawn Mower. Not only is it electric, it’s also a really cool green color! Worried about grass stains? Not on this mower you’re not! Here are the stats on this mower:

  • 12 Amp Electric Motor delivers enough power to cut through the toughest grass
  • Durable steel 20-Inch cutting deck gets the job done quicker and more efficiently
  • 3-in-1 feature provides multiple options for grass clippings from rear bagging, side discharge and mulching capabilities for versatile needs
  • 7 position height adjustment offers a range of cutting height from 1 1/2-Inch to 3 3/4-Inch for the perfect cut on all grass types
  • Wide 10-Inch rear wheels and 7-Inch front wheels

Beats By Dr. Dre – A flawless and iconic fit for YOU

Do you love music? Me too! Who doesn’t? My music sounds best on Beats By Dr. Dre, and I bet yours will, too.

There are a few different styles of Beats By Dr. Dre, let’s start with my personal favorite:

 

Beats By Dr. Dre Powerbeats Sport Headphones – It’s a mouthful to say, but they are really quite small and fit perfectly in your ears for when you are working out or just trying to drown out the noises at work or at home. My favorite part about the Powerbeats Sport Headphones is they have a small adjustable ear clips that are engineered to stay put during all levels of movement. And I can attest to this fact- normal ear buds just don’t fit my ears correctly and always end up falling out if I move around too much, but my Powerbeats Sport Headphones have never fallen out due to the ear clips.

Beats By Dr. Dre urBeats headphones – Speaking of ear buds, here are Dr. Dre’s version. These ear buds come multiple sized ear tips, and help block distractive noise and have a lightweight design that makes them ideal for listening during exercise, travel, or just about any activity. Not only can you listen to music with these ear buds, they also have a built in microphone that enables hands-free phone calls and lets you easily switch between songs and incoming calls. These headphones also work with online voice and video chats when used with your Apple® iPod® touch or iPhone. Unfortunately my ears are not compatible with these and I had to give mine away! They had great sound though, and my niece loves them.

 

Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Mixr on-ear headphones – These headphones are extremely comfortable, they have soft leatherette ear pads that provides comfort during extended listening sessions. The ear cups pivot up to 270° to enable single-ear monitoring and offer a secure fit. And just as the urBeats headphones above, these headphones also work with online voice and video chats when used with your Apple® iPod® touch or iPhone.

 

Beats By Dr. Dre New Beats Studio Over Ear Headphones – They say that these headphones are powerful enough to block out a jet engine! Yet they are powered by just a pair of AAA batteries. The noise cancellation feature in a pair of Beats Studio headphones amplifies the music as it blocks out noise, giving you consistently powerful and intense sound.  You can take calls, skip songs and adjust volume right from the cord of your Beats Studio headphone – and the Beats logo on the side doubles as a Mute Button, clever!

 

Beats by Dr. Dre Pill 2.0 Portable Stereo Speaker – Beats Pill is awesome! This is actually the only member of the “Beats Family” that we have been talking about that I don’t own (yet!). The Beats Pill offers a bluetooth connection for any devices that are compatible, and for those that don’t have bluetooth you can make a connection for your MP3 player with the use of a 3.5mm stereo audio cable. In addition to listening to music there’s also an internal microphone so you can actually take calls with this speaker! You can get up to and including 7 hours of use on a single charge, and you can even charge up most phones using the Beats Pill. The great thing about this speaker is that it’s portable without compromising on sound.

In case you aren’t as familiar with these products as I am, here are some quick facts:

  • Beats by Dr. Dre (Beats), is a leading audio brand founded in 2006 by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine.
  • Beats’ original product line were Beats by Dr. Dre headphones
  • Beats has a subscription-based online music service known as Beats Music, which launched in January 2014
  • Beats was acquired by Apple Inc. in July 2014.

All of these great Beats By Dr. Dre products are available on DealDash occasionally – If you are interested in winning one of these products I would suggest that you head on over to DealDash, pick which one you are interested in, and hit the blue “Alert Me” button that’s on the auction page. That way, when one of these Beats comes up for auction DealDash will send you an email and you can be prepared! Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

 

Innovative Products + Fun Design = Magisso

DealDash introduced us to the brand Magisso a few months ago, and since the first few test products have been such a hit with us DealDashers they have been adding even more selection! Here is an introduction to all of the current Magisso products that DealDash is offering.

 

Magisso Double-Edged Cutting Board– The Magisso cutting board has edges on both sides of the cutting board that are designed to make it stable to use against the edge of the kitchen counter. This unique design gives extra support for the kitchen knife and makes chopping vegetables easier. The edges also keep the ingredients from spreading while scooping them to a pan. And it is easy to store upright without reserving too much space from your kitchen table. This cutting board is made from bamboo and is a great size at 35X26 cm.

Iconic Magisso Cake Server – The iconic Magisso Cake Server cutting and serving your favorite cake is easier and less stressful than ever. All you need to do is press the cake server through a cake, and squeeze it gently to lift the piece onto your plate. Release the squeeze and get that perfect piece of cake upright on your plate. This cake server has been recognized by Oprah and also featured at MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art in New York). This iconic stainless steel cake server guarantees the perfect piece of cake with no mess and no embarrassment.

 

Magisso Serving Set (includes Pie Server & Cheese Knife) – The design continues the unique and recognizable form of the Magisso Cake Server from the young Finnish designer Maria Kivijärvi. The Pie Server and the Cheese knife are both made of premium, mirrored stainless steel and is suitable for your favorite pies and cheeses. This set was awarded the GOOD DESIGN award, and would look great at any gathering with friends or family.

 

Magisso Cooling Ceramics Wine Cooler – The Cooling Ceramics Wine Cooler by Magisso is made of naturally cooling black-colored terracotta. When you need to keep your wine at that perfect temperature when you are having guests over just soak the cooler in cold water and fill it with water and ice. For red wine you’ll only need water. Water evaporates through the walls of the cooler while cooling the bottle. This keeps the wine cold longer than in a normal cooler. The bottom surface of the cooler has been glazed to protect your table from any excess water from the soaking process. This is part of the Naturally Cooling Ceramics set that also includes the ice bucket, sake set, serving cups, and serving plates  & bowls sets.

 

Magisso Tea Cups (set of 2) – They are designed with two sections, one for the leaves, and one for the hot water. The bottom is made with two flat surfaces, and all you have to do is tilt it to the leaf side when you pour your hot water, let it steep for a few minutes, then tilt it to the other side, and your tea will stop steeping. They come in a variety of different colors, and DealDash is currently offering black, green, or white.

 

 

I’m sure that you know by now that Magisso has been around since 2008, and have won many awards, including the Red Dot: Best of the Best award in 2011. Not only have they won awards, Magisso has also been featured on CNN, InStyle, GQ, and many more magazines and news shows.

Magisso Cake Server

You will be happy to hear that DealDash has all of these products currently up for bid. You can set an alert to send you an email when the Magisso tea cups, ice bucket, or even the cake server (which was the first product that Magisso patented) comes up for bid. Just go to the product page and find the blue “Alert Me” button and click it. You’ll get an email when it’s time to go stack up your bids. Good luck everyone!

 

 

Let’s Talk About Getting Healthy With the Magic Bullet

Are you or someone you know trying to get healthy this spring? Want to be able to show off that bikini body this summer? The Magic Bullet can help you with that.

Most people have heard of the Nutribullet Magic Bullet before. The Nutribullet Magic Bullet is a blender that is designed to be used as a space saving replacement for other appliances such as a blender, food processor, and electric juicer. The Magic Bullet is compact in size and consists of an electric blender base with a number of attachments. Here is a list of the attachments:

  •  screw-on blade attachment
  • two mixing cups, one short and one tall
  • two handled cups, called by the manufacturer “Party Mugs”, which can be used to blend individual drinks
  • lids for the cups, intended for storing foods
  • an instruction manual which also contains a recipe book

 

The Magic Bullet is easy to use and can save you time, it’s much easier to clean than a blender. Trust me- If I had to clean a traditional blender I would be drinking FAR less smoothies than with the Magic Bullet. Here is a really quick and easy recipe that can be found on the Magic Bullet website:

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries
1 banana
1 cup of ice
splash of orange juice

Preparation

First … Add all ingredients to the Tall Cup or Party Mug and twist on the Cross Blade.

Then … Lock On and mix until smooth.

Next … Drink up!

See, isn’t that quick and simple? Of course you could substitute frozen berries of any type instead of using the ice! If you like, you can also add in just about anything to power up the healthiness- spinach, protein powder, ginger, flax seed, the list is pretty much endless.
Smoothies aren’t the only thing that you can make with the Magic Bullet – you can make cocoa, egg nog, margaritas, and more. If you can dream up a drink (alcoholic or not!) that you could make in a blender, you can make it in the Magic Bullet quickly, easily, and with a lot less clean-up involved.
If you’re a person that staggers out of bed in the morning like me, and absolutely needs your coffee, the Magic Bullet can help with that, too. One of my favorite things to do is to take cold coffee that I made the night before and stuck in the fridge, add some ice cubes, and blend it all up in the Magic Bullet. Add a little whipped cream and you have yourself a “FREEpachinno” which has the benefit of not only being practically free, but also saves you a trip to the coffee place. Win-Win!
DealDash not only has the Nutribullet, they also have the Nutribullet Pro 900, and The NutriBulllet RX! Do your body a favor and head on over and check out these great space-saving juicer/blenders. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Xbox is for Everyone

If you took a poll of 20 teenage guys I bet 19 of them would say that they enjoy playing Xbox. However, Xbox isn’t just for teen guys, read on…

Xbox One is Microsoft’s newest Xbox console, but lots of people still enjoy playing the Xbox 360 , including my Aunt! She is 64 years old and you should see her playing Minecraft on her 360, she is just as good as any teenage kid out there! Most ladies her age would rather be reading, doing puzzles, or knitting, but Aunty loves Xbox. She originally bought the Xbox 360 to have at her house when her grand kids came over to visit, but little by little she got hooked on the great graphics and fun story lines of some of the different games.

Of course, there are plenty of games out for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 that don’t appeal to her such as the Grand Theft Auto series. However, there are plenty of games available for people of all ages from Elementary school age, such as Angry Birds: Star Wars to fun family games like Kinect Sports Rivals that everyone can enjoy. One favorite series at my house is all of the Lego themed games such as The Lego Movie Video game (yes, that’s really what it’s called!), Lego The Hobbit, and my Son’s personal favorite – LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

 

The original Xbox (not the 360, the one before that) was the first video game console offered by an American company after the Atari Jaguar stopped sales in 1996.  The original Xbox was released on November 15, 2001 in the United States, and has sold over 24 million units.  Microsoft’s second console, the Xbox 360, was released in 2005 and has sold over 77.2 million consoles worldwide. The successor to the Xbox 360 and Microsoft’s most recent console, the Xbox One,  was revealed on May 21, 2013. The Xbox One has a large emphasis on internet-based features; including the ability to record and stream game play, and the ability to integrate with a set-top box to watch cable or satellite TV through the console.

One of the most interesting and innovative features of the Xbox 360 and Xbox One is the Kinect controller. The Kinect is a motion-sensing controller, similar to the Wii Plus Remote, except the Kinect can also be controlled by by voice, which is definitely a step up in my opinion.

 

Now that I have told you a little bit about my family and how we enjoy the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, why don’t you head on over to DealDash and see what Xbox auctions are currently running? Not a day goes by that I don’t see at least one Xbox product, be it a game or accessory. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
