For those who love pasta, there is simply nothing tastier than home-made pasta. But, most of us have gotten so used to dried or frozen pasta, that we don’t even know what home-made pasta tastes like anymore. Well, if you own a KitchenAid stand mixer, like so many people do, then the KitchenAid KPEX1 is all you need to start discovering the joys of homemade pasta in no time at all.

The KitchenAid KPEX1 is a series of pasta tools that are used with the KitchenAid mixer. Here are a few of the features of this incredible set:

- Pasta sheet roller and cutter set included
- Pasta cutter companion included
- Ravioli maker attachment
- Chrome plated
- Attachments fit any KitchenAid mixer
- Made in Italy
- Brushes included for easy clean-up
- One year warranty

Because any kind of pasta is certainly not the most expensive thing to buy in the grocery store, you would never buy the KitchenAid KPEX1 for convenience or affordability alone. In fact, the price of the KitchenAid KPEX1 is a little steep, but if you come from a family that really enjoys home-made pastas, then you will appreciate all that these attachments can do.

If you have never had home-made ravioli, then you are really missing out, and with the KitchenAid KPEX1, you can have any kind of ravioli that you have ever dreamed of. Use your creativity in the kitchen, get the kids involved, and have fun making exotics forms of ravioli that your family and your guests will love.

The attachment that makes lasagna noodles, fettuccini, or thick egg noodles may be the one that you use the most often, because that is where the taste in fresh pasta really comes out. You can use your KitchenAid mixer to make flavored or colored pastas and then use those in your own exotic dishes.

Because the attachments in the KitchenAid KPEX1 are easy to clean with the included brush, you never have to worry about them getting dirty or even rusty. You do not have to worry about a tedious cleaning process either. Just brush them clean and let them dry after you have used them, and they will be ready to use again.

I have to say that although I didn’t think I would use this set very often, sometimes I find myself using it once or twice a week. People who didn’t even like pasta before are now begging me to make my fettuccini, and my kids are now dying for my lasagna. I am not going to lie and tell you that it isn’t a bit of a hassle making your own fresh pasta, but I think it is worth it in the long run.

The KitchenAid KPEX1 is an absolute must for anyone with a KitchenAid mixer. This attachment set is the best thing that I have bought for my kitchen in a long time, and all of my friends and family will attest to the amount of enjoyment that they are getting out of it.

Swivel Sweeper Saves Time and Energy

Most people these days have very little free time to spend cleaning floors. The Swivel Sweeper has been touted as one of the best ways to save time and energy because it is a battery operated, flexible sweeping appliance that cleans hard surface floors and carpets with ease. Most of the reviews for the Swivel Sweeper claim that it is very good at picking up dirt and debris. One of the main reasons it is so popular is that it moves with more flexibility than other similar devices on the market.

It sort of bends and folds easier than the other products available.  This makes it easy to sweep under sofas and chairs and under the bed without having to move the furniture all over the place. It may take a few swipes back and forth, but most reviewers say that it picks up the dirt fairly well.  The sweeper weighs only 2 pounds and it battery operated so there are no cords to mess around with and no heavy lifting required to use it.  There is a charger for the battery.  The majority of the people who reviewed the product said that the battery will last for one to two years and then you may need to replace the sweeper.

The Swivel Sweeper does not have wheels, instead it has sliders that allow it to move more easily across the floor. It has an elbow joint that reduces the need to bend over for sweeping under furniture and in hard to reach spots.  It has a touch less dirt tray that should be emptied after each use. It is easy to store because it is cordless. You can use it on stairs much easier than a heavy vacuum cleaner because it is light weight.

You can find the Swivel Sweeper in some retail stores and home improvement stores.  Most people purchase them from the online stores.  You can get a sweeper for around $30 to $40.  Many people who have used the sweepers say the one thing that could be improved is the battery lifespan.  Now you can purchase a battery charger for the sweeper for around $15.  Replacement batteries are also available. 

In conclusion, the Swivel Sweeper benefits include:

  1. Light weight sweeper that doesn’t require heavy lifting and moving.
  2. Works fairly well.  Picks up dirt and debris without much trouble.
  3. Has an elbow joint which allows for easy cleaning under furniture and in hard to reach spots.
     This saves you back problems from having to bend over or get down on the floor to get under
     things.  It also prevents you from having to move heavy furniture.
  4. Reasonably priced.
  5. Has a battery recharger available.
  6. Easy to clean out the dirt tray.

From most of the reviews this product is worth the money and it does what it says it will do. The one major suggestion for the Swivel Sweeper is to purchase the battery recharger so that the sweeper will last a lot longer. The battery lifespan can be extended a bit by having it.
