Over 15,000 Shoppers Use This Showerhead to Clean Their Showers (and It’s on Sale) https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/lokby-showerhead/ Tue, 28 Feb 2023 04:55:36 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=519167 Is there a chore more tedious than cleaning the bathroom? If there is, I haven’t heard of it. Using sponges and other cleaning essentials helps, but thoroughly rinsing cleaning solutions from my sink and toilet is something I’ve always struggled with. That’s why I’m picking up a Lokby showerhead (and a stone bath mat to rid myself of my soggy terrycloth bath mat once and for all).

What Is the Lokby showerhead?

The Lokby showerhead is a telephone-style showerhead like the editor-tested Moen Attract showerhead. What sets this showerhead apart is the eight available spray settings—including built-in power jets. The power jets, located on the top of the showerhead, blast away soap scum and dirt on your skin—and in your bathtub.

Why do shoppers love the Lokby showerhead?

Not only does this showerhead offer high pressure while still remaining eco-friendly thanks to a built-in flow restrictor, but it includes a whopping 57-inch hose that is capable of reaching clear across the bathroom. It’s possible to use the cleaning jet to power-wash your sink, toilet and tiles—no harsh scrubbing and chemicals required.

If your hair or skin suffers from the quality of your water, pair the Lokby showerhead with this editor-tested showerhead filter and enjoy bouncier hair and a clearer complexion. Filtered showerheads remove harsh chemicals and metals that diminish the effectiveness of your showerhead. The best part is that they’re typically compatible with any type of showerhead, including the Lokby showerhead.

Unlike other showerheads, the Lokby showerhead boasts over 15,000 reviews. Customers comment on the lightweight construction and incredible power of the built-in jets.

FAQ

Which type of showerhead is best?

The best showerhead is subjective depending on your family’s needs. It’s worth exploring different types, including LED showerheads that offer lighting in dim bathrooms and smart showerheads that pair with Bluetooth for a custom cleaning experience. Spa showerheads also exist, and they offer a relaxing experience for those who prefer to use their shower to unwind.

Will a better showerhead increase water pressure?

Some showerheads have better water pressure than others. Ultimately, for the best water pressure, ensure you clean your showerhead on a regular basis. If your showerhead becomes jammed with debris and mineral buildup, there are plenty of ways to unclog a showerhead.

If all else fails, it’s easy to replace unusable showerheads. Locate some of the best showerheads by looking at reviews and deciding what features are a dealbreaker for your family.

Do all showerheads fit any shower?

Generally, showerheads are a standard size that fit most showers, so it’s pretty simple to change your showerhead. Some specialty showers, like smart showers, may require a special showerhead to function properly. Always check the specs of your new showerhead to ensure it will fit with your shower’s setup.

Where can I buy the Lokby showerhead?

Lokby High Pressure Shower Head With Handheld Ecomm Amazon.com

The Lokby showerhead is available on Amazon for $65. Secure one for only $35 thanks to a generous 45% discount for the eight-setting chrome version. The matte black and brushed nickel colors are also available on sale for 44% off and 43% off, respectively.

Merrell and Unlikely Hikers Launch Size-Inclusive Hiking Boots https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/merrell-unlikely-hikers-collab/ Mon, 06 Feb 2023 19:40:42 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=512166 Hikers come from all walks of life, so why do brands create merchandise geared towards a narrow consumer base? It’s a good question, especially when equipment like headlamps, outdoor survival gear and family tents aren’t gender-specific. Merrell and Unlikely Hikers teamed up to challenge the notion that there is a “type” of person who enjoys the outdoors.

This is the second collaboration between the two companies, known respectively for their durable outdoor footwear and all-inclusive hiking communities. When visiting the Unlikely Hikers about page, a positive message greets visitors: “Nature is infinitely diverse and so are we.” Jenny Bruso, founder of Unlikely Hikers, aims to crush stereotypes of what an “average hiker” looks like.

The Merrell collaboration is only the beginning of Bruso’s quest for inclusivity in the hiking community. They seek to remove barriers for people of size and color, those in the LGBTQ+ community and folks with disabilities. Unlikely Hikers is passionate about utilizing the outdoors to aid in mental health.

What is the Merrell x Unlikely Hikers collection?

The Moab 3 x Unlikely Hikers collection sits apart from traditional hiking gear. Customers of any background can find a perfect fit with several width options and hard-to-find sizes. Both the tall and short styles of boots come in sizes five to 16 in wide and medium widths.

The Merrell x Unlikely Hikers collection comes in a unisex colorway that features spirited shades of pastels, and it’s based on Merrell’s best-selling hiking boot. Customers still get the traction, waterproof materials, comfort and fit they expect.

In addition to gender- and size-inclusive boots, the Merrell and Unlikely Hikers collection features a playful assemblage of hats, t-shirts, lumbar packs and crossbody sling bags that promote Unlikely Hikers’ mission of inclusivity. Just like the boots, other items from the collaboration are available in a range of sizes designed to fit any body.

Where can I buy the Merrell and Unlikely Hikers collection?

To shop the Merrell x Unlikely Hikers collection, visit the collaboration’s landing page on Merrell’s website. Items from the collection range in price from $25 to $145, with the mid-cut boots ringing up at $145. Hikers can scoop up the low-cut boots for slightly less at $110.

If you’re looking for winter camping gear or cold-weather accessories, consider getting a pair of boots from the collection to fill your boot tray and wear over Darn Tough socks.

Thanks to the wide range of sizes and colors, the collection makes the perfect gift for any outdoors lover next to camping must-haves like emergency lights, tent heaters and camp kitchens. Peruse Merrell’s outlet section for more great camping gear on significant markdown.

Carhartt’s New Smart Vest Uses AI to Keep You Warm on the Job https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/carhartt-x-1-smart-heated-vest/ Thu, 02 Feb 2023 17:37:56 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=511110 Carhartt’s latest addition to their winter workwear collection is the hottest innovation to hit the heated workwear market in years. The Carhartt X-1 Smart Heated Vest, a novel release from the company known for some of the best workwear on the market, isn’t your average fleece vest. This tech-forward workwear includes—drumroll—built-in artificial intelligence.

Say goodbye to the need for bulky cold-weather accessories and hello to durable workwear that offers regulated heat both on and off the job. In partnership with clim8, Carhartt brings the future to men’s workwear with their newest release, which instantly responds to real-life conditions.

What is the Carhartt X-1 Smart Heated Vest?

Carhartt’s smart heated vest rivals heated jackets thanks to a lightweight design that’s easy to move around in. Unlike traditional cold-weather gear that’s built for layering, Carhartt’s heated vest delivers the warmth of cold-weather workwear minus the added bulk.

The vests are powered by a 7.4V 3000mAH rechargeable lithium-ion battery and include a charger. They also have a drawcord-adjustable hem for added coverage and two pockets in the front.

Not only does cold weather gear require layers to properly work, but it has an unfortunate tendency to trap heat and create uncomfortably warm conditions. Overheating still happens in chilly conditions, especially when outdoor workers overestimate how warm they should dress. Carhartt’s heated vest is different.

Instead of heating to a certain temperature, the vest takes into account how warm the body already is. It uses three strategically-mapped heat zones to monitor temperatures in real time. Surprisingly, these zones have the ability to automatically analyze the wearer’s environment and activity to determine the appropriate heat setting. This prevents the need to add and subtract layers as the temperature outside fluctuates.

Just open up the included app on your smartphone and set your ideal temperature—the Carhartt vest does the rest. By using reactionary monitoring, there’s no need to manually adjust heat settings as you would with traditional heated gear. Instead, Carhartt’s heated vest makes it easy to focus on the job at hand—not the temperature outside.

Where can I find the new Carhartt Vest?

Carhartt Smart Heated Vest gif showing men's and women's vests

Carhartt’s heated vests come in both women’s and men’s styles, available on Carhartt’s website for $219.19. Although the vest withstands the stressors of outdoor jobs like construction work and surveying, it still looks pretty sleek.

Want to try the new Carhartt X-1 Smart Heated Vest? Add one to your cart ASAP. New Carhartt releases typically sell out quickly.

Be Prepared for Painting Projects—Stock Up on the Best Paint Rollers While They’re on Sale https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/paint-roller-deals/ Mon, 30 Jan 2023 19:53:19 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=507737 Whether you already have a living room renovation in mind or you’re just looking to stock up on this painting necessity, paint roller deals are the perfect start to any paint project.

How To Choose the Best Paint Rollers for the Job

As outlined in Family Handyman’s guide to paint rollers, paint roller frames and covers come in a wide variety of sizes.

Covers are available in several different materials, ranging from woven or knitted synthetic—best for most projects—to lambswool and lambskin, which work well for oil-based paints. Foam rollers, thanks to the minimized laps lines, are ideal for natural substances like wood.

FAQ

How do you clean paint rollers?

Cleaning paint rollers efficiently requires the assistance of paint thinner when you’re working with oil-based paint, or water when working with latex. As with most paint-related projects, safety is key when cleaning supplies—always use gloves, a respirator and safety goggles when cleaning rollers and brushes.

Can you reuse paint rollers?

You can absolutely reuse paint rollers—to a point. When properly cleaned, paint rollers last for several applications. After a while, though, the fuzzy materials often deteriorate, leading to uneven coats. If you plan to reuse a paint roller multiple times for one project, keep the roller moist after removing the paint by covering it with plastic wrap to prevent dried-on flakes.

Otherwise, we recommend using a new roller cover for every project. Stock up on painting essentials with these paint roller deals for a flawless finish every time!

More Than 34,000 Shoppers Swear by This Wood Conditioner—and It’s Only $9 https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/howard-feed-n-wax/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 04:48:00 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=507394 Fire up your woodworking power tools and clamps—one of the best wood conditioners on the market is on sale. Whether you’re looking to wax floors, remove water stains or find a gift for a woodworker, this Sales Editor has you covered. Say hello to Howard Feed-N-Wax, backed by incredible before and after photos and over 34,000 positive Amazon reviews.

What is Howard Feed-N-Wax?

Traditionally, wood conditioner is a blend of oils and waxes that applies to wood surfaces to provide a hydrating finish. It offers a myriad of benefits, including preventing cracks and extending the life of wood-based furniture.

Howard Feed-N-Wax is a one-step wood conditioner, hydrator, polisher and protector. Conditioner oils “feed” wood, offering hydration and color protection that bolsters the lifespan of traditional polyurethane wood finishes. It enhances the look of hardwoods across the spectrum, including walnut, oak, cherry and maple.

It’s safe for antiques, thanks to the omission of often-seen fillers like silicon and linseed oil that can harm the wood over prolonged periods of use. An effective and safe blend of orange oil, carnauba and beeswax make up most of the formula.

The best part? Howard Feed-N-Wax doesn’t leave a chemical smell that lingers after use. Shoppers describe the orange scent of the wax as “pleasant” and “lovely.” Look forward to cleaning day—pick up a bottle and put your microfiber towels to work.

How to Use Howard Feed-N-Wax

First, coat the wood in an even, set finish—we recommend wipe-on wood finishes for a quick project. While Howard Feed-N-Wax elevates finishes of any age, it’s not a finish in and of itself. If finished wood isn’t the look you’re going for, you can skip this step. For old finishes, consider using Howard Restor-A-Finish to enhance the appearance before waxing.

After finishing the surface, clean it with a quality wood cleaner like Howard Orange Oil paired with a microfiber cleaning cloth. This removes dust, debris and helps the Feed-N-Wax penetrate the wood. Wait for the product to dry after cleaning for the best results. After the cleaner dries, it’s time to wax!

Note that butcher block oil is the better choice for surfaces that touch food, like serving trays. Howard offers its own butcher block conditioner and oil.

Apply a thin layer of Howard Feed-N-Wax to a soft cloth and begin wiping in large swipes, following the grain. Apply generously enough to coat the wood, while still avoiding clumps of the product from building up on the surface. The smoother, the better.

Once you apply the product, let it set for at least 20 minutes before wiping off the excess with a clean cloth. For unfinished woods and older finishes, the wait time may be closer to eight hours. Repeat the process until you achieve your desired look and any time the wood requires a little extra TLC.

Where to Buy Howard Feed-N-Wax

Howard Products Wood Polish & Conditioner Ecomm Amazon.com

Howard Feed-N-Wax is a popular product available at retailers like Walmart and Ace Hardware. I recommend scooping it up on Amazon for a limited-time savings of 33%. At that price, it’s worth it to stock up on a few bottles—especially if you’re a woodworker, up-cycler or DIYer.

FAQ

What should I look for when buying a security camera?

Consider your needs when looking for a security camera. Features like cordless and solar-powered cameras offer flexibility—set them up almost anywhere and enjoy a clear picture. Recording features, like the shared neighborhood cloud available with Ring systems, make it easy to keep track of local break-ins close to home.

Do you need WiFi for home security cameras?

Internet Protocol (IP) cameras send footage to your network video recorder (NVR) so they can operate without an internet connection. There are tons of security cameras that work sans wifi, but it’s important to consider the differences between IP cameras and cloud cameras before deciding on a wifi-free security system.

Is there a security camera without a monthly fee?

Some cameras require a monthly fee for certain features, like the Chillax camera. It requires $5.99 per month to review footage over one week old—read more in our Chillax camera review. Many security camera deals offer savings on cameras without monthly fees—check out the options above, or consider other options to deter burglars, like fake security cameras.

If you live in an apartment, can’t afford monthly fees or aren’t ready to invest in a full security camera system, consider apartment door security tools. They bolster your bolt locks for added protection without the added technology.

How do you store hats, scarves and gloves?

Winter accessories like hats, snow boots, scarves and gloves tend to get damp from the snow. Because of this, boot trays, mitten drying racks and boot dryers are essential to use before implementing any clever storage ideas.

Things like home organizers, entryway shoe storage and winter sports gear organizers work as functional storage and keep cold-weather accessories from taking over the closet.

That’s bad news for me. As Sales Editor of Family Handyman, I refuse to pay full price for anything, but I need a new steam cleaner that can handle my cat Nancy and her penchant for mess-making.

Steam cleaning is the process of removing stains and dirt from hard floors, carpets, and upholstery using highly pressurized steam. Because steam cleaning doesn’t use lots of water or harsh detergents on surfaces, it’s safer than traditional stain removal methods.

Those with basements know the pain of trying to eliminate the “basement smell.” Steam cleaners do a bang-up job of freshening even the most stubborn areas of your home. Enjoy your game room without the threat of musty odors.

Keep Your Basement Feeling Fresh with These Dehumidifier Sales https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/dehumidifier-sales/ Fri, 13 Jan 2023 06:05:41 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=503548 If your home is suffering from moisture issues or your allergies are suddenly acting up, it may be time to bring home a dehumidifier. Humidifiers have gained a lot of popularity in the last few years by making homes less dry in the winter, but there are times when we prefer a dry indoor atmosphere—especially when it comes to mold prevention. Luckily, dehumidifier sales make it easy to score an air-quality must-have for less.

Avoiding mold issues doesn’t stop at running mold tests and using mold and mildew-resistant paints. Excess moisture in the air needs to be wicked away, especially in bathrooms and basements, where mold problems tend to congregate. Dehumidifiers extract unnecessary water from the air, leaving less humidity for mold spores to cling onto. Shop the dehumidifier deals below and save up to 45% on this basement staple!

Solo Stove Just Launched a Portable Pizza Oven, And It’s on Sale Right Now https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/solo-stove-pi-fire/ Sat, 17 Dec 2022 14:46:47 +0000 https://www.familyhandyman.com/?p=498564 Most people love Neapolitan style pizza. Gooey cheese, crispy crust—what’s not to appreciate? For one thing, the cost. By the time you factor in delivery fees, taxes and a tip, the dinner budget doubles and you’re left waiting on a delivery driver. Say goodbye to long waits and hello to fresh, wood-fired pizza—Solo Stove’s Pi Fire is here to reinvent pizza night!

Made from surprisingly lightweight, heat-resistant 304 stainless steel, Solo Stove smokeless fire pits have a range of accessories that enable their use on porches and other heat-sensitive surfaces.

The Pi Fire is the latest addition to Solo Stove’s range of outdoor pizza ovens. Unlike their flagship pizza oven, the Pi Pizza Oven, the Pi Fire isn’t a standalone oven—it attaches to the Bonfire 2.0 for ultra-portable pizza making in a snap. It preheats in 30-45 minutes, then pizzas are fired up and ready in a jiffy.

What is the Pi Fire pizza oven?

For those who are curious about homemade wood-fired pizza, the Pi Fire is the perfect foray into backyard baking. This portable oven loosely resembles professional wood-fired kilns with a horizontal slot where the pizza sits. Instead of a space for wood at the bottom like a traditional pizza oven, it has three long legs which create a sizable gap between the pizza and the fire pit.

The oven comes in three sizes which attach to the top of the Solo Stove fire pit of your choice: The classic Bonfire, the larger Yukon or the smaller Ranger. All three sizes offer their own perks. Choose the Ranger for personal pizzas or the Yukon for family-sized pies fit for a crowd.

Made from the same lightweight stainless steel as the bonfire pits, this portable oven weighs only 13 pounds for the Ranger size up to 34 pounds for the Yukon size. It comes with a carrying case for easy travel and heat-resistant gloves for a safer baking experience.

How to Use the Pi Fire

Attach the Pi Fire to its corresponding fire pit, then light up a few logs and allow the oven to preheat for 30-45 minutes. If the fire pit already has a fire burning when you want to attach the Pi, use the included heat-resistant gloves to prevent burns. Once the center of the pizza stone reaches 500 degrees, it’s time to bake.

Simply insert a raw pizza with the desired toppings into the slot using a pizza peel—one of the pizza oven tools you’ll want to be sure to have on hand. The pizza takes around five to 10 minutes to cook. Turn it every few minutes using the peel. While it’s baking, take advantage of the space between the fire pit and the oven to roast marshmallows or hotdogs.

This oven cooks pizza at the more manageable temperature of 500-650 degrees rather than the 900 degree temperature its sister, the Pi Oven, uses. The lower temperature is ideal for beginners or those who prefer a leisurely baking experience. When not in use, the oven rests inside the fire pit for easy storage.

Where to Buy the Pi Fire

Bonfire Pi Fire

Professional pizza ovens cost upwards of $600, but the Pi Fire for the Bonfire is available for only $239.99 during Solo Stove’s sale—that’s a savings of $120! A portable pizza oven that attaches to a fire pit makes the perfect gift for the outdoors lover or outdoor cooks.

Be sure to check out Solo Stove’s other fire pit sales, including 40% off the Bonfire 2.0!
