Works great on windows and doors to seal the wind and cold weather out of my old house.

I live in house that is over 100 years old.  I believe painting over original woodwork should be a felony.  SoyGel Paint and Urethane Remover is the answer to my prayers.  I am currently in the process of stripping the paint from my stairs and bannister with it's bazillion spindles.  This project is a long labor of love.  It makes all the difference to have a product that actually does what it claims to do.  You can see it bubbling up within an hour or maybe even less.  But since I have so many old layers of paint I leave it on overnight.  And yes sometimes it takes several applications due to the multiple layers of old paint or the detail work.  The scent is so light that you barely notice it and you can use this indoors with windows closed.  So there will be a lot of paint stripping going on this winter.  One word of caution, this is so rewarding that you may find yourself saying "hmm wonder what this would look like under all that paint" while you are waiting for your original product to be ready.  So I've stripped the bedroom door - also original wood - and now I have to do the other two doors to match.

I have a very old home (160+ years) which we have remodeled continuously over the past 25 years. However most of that was to achieve function, not aesthetics. Our bathrooms work but are not showplaces. However I'll say it is amazing what new fixtures can do to a room!

We have standard white sink in our upstairs bathroom and replaced the tired ( circa 1960) fixtures with this set. It looks fantastic. There is a built in aerator which is fine for us as this sink is used for toothbrushing and hand hygiene. I'd not suggest this set for anyone who needs to fill buckets or get a strong heavy flow going. However, it meets our needs perfectly. Install was easy (we are handy) and it jazzes the whole bathroom up.

I like the handles as opposed to twist knobs as they are easier to use with hand arthritis. Even with the aerator the flow is plenty strong enough for our needs. Very impressive product from Moen; I've gotten several of their fixtures and have had nothing but great experiences.

Been using this for years so I had to buy one for my new house.

I've found this to be a great metal polish.  I use it often in restoring old kitchen appliances, such as coffee pots, waffle irons, and even antique vacuum cleaners.  It does a wonderful job of removing old oxidation and many old stains in the metal.  If there is a finish to be found beneath the ravages of the years, this stuff will find it.

It's easy to use, and from my experience, doesn't seem to wear or damage the metal.  It works fast with an old rag and just a little bit of elbow grease.  And it takes just a little on the cloth to work the magic, so a bottle can last a long time.  I have used it on chrome and nickel finishes with excellent results.  I've also used it on pot metal and gotten a bit of a glow even from that.

An excellent metal polish.

This kit works great, we needed to restore the finish on a 100+ year old oak side server and it came out great. Very happy with the relative ease needed to get things cleaned up. Will use on another project shortly

We are trying to rehabilitate a 200 year old post-and-beam farmhouse and this has been very helpful.  It has very detailed drawings of what used to be a common way of building houses.  It includes labelled diagrams of the parts of the house, various ways to cut the joints, tools, dimensions of a 12x16 shed and a huge amount of encouragement.  Very worthwhile purchase.

I made changes in my home life last year; I sold my house and purchased a townhouse. After landscaping my front and back yards, there is very little area needed to mow and trim. This is perfect for me, 65 year old woman.  It is easy to use - much like using a bacuum cleaner with a push and pull action. I bought the electric operated, so there are no battery to keep charged and has strong power. It stores easily in my outside storage area.  I watched you tube reviews/operating video before purchasing - and I am very happy with my purchase.

The old post fixture that came with my 1920s-era house finally died. I bought this one to replace it at the same time I replaced matching 2 wall fixtures (from the same line) flanking my front door. They all look great and rejuvenated the appearance of the house from curbside and front walk. The vintage style suits my house perfectly. They are heavy duty and appear well made. The water-seeded glass has sufficient texture that it doesn't show smudges and minor dirt, so cleaning will me minimal. Even the electrician doing the installation commented on how nice looking and classy the fixtures were. The post light was pricy, compared to the matching wall fixtures, but if it's as well made as it appears, I won't be buying another for many, many years.

I love this. I used it on old an fashioned linoleum floor at our beach house that gets really dirty because the finish has been ground down over the years with sand etc.  There were still some spots I had to get down and scrub with a scrub brush , but I was surprised how well it worked if you just push and pull it slowly in 2 directions and don't spew out too much water by constantly holding the lever down. Pulling up the dirty water as you go is fantastic. And I couldn't believe how dirty it was. I then used it on the rest of the house which has old hardwood floors with an oil soap and they have never been cleaner. I have to say this model a bit heavy. I got it after reading reviews that the old model worked better . I don't know , but I do wish it was lighter as I have to bring it up and down stairs. However it is still totally worth it.

This is the way to easily up date an old flourescent fixture.  Easy conversation no more flourescent lighting problems.

We live in a 200 year-old house. I was looking at either a very expensive re-wiring job in our master bedroom, or running a lot of ugly cable along baseboards and around windows and doors to move the TV from one side of the room to the other.  The ARIES product solved my problem easily and at a fair price.  The equipment works fine, delivering high-quality picture and sound.  By the way, I have it connected to an Xfinity DTA.  My only complaint is that when it goes into sleep mode, it has flashing lights that are really annoying at night.  So right now I have the sending unit covered with an old sock!

We bought this for my parents in an Assisted Living facility and it is awesome for them.  Easy to install and use.

I used to like in an old Victorian house and was constantly using this product.  It is wonderful for getting rid of scratches and finish problems.  I recently bought another container for my solid oak kitchen cabinets.  I accidently used a harsh chemical cleaner on one of the cabinets that removed the finish.  Formby's evened out the surface and the Tung Oil Finish restored the color and shine.  You can't even tell there was a problem.

Nice Unit. We live in a 130 year old two story victorian house. Simply unable to get enough ductwork upstairs to properly cool. Did not want a window unit in the streetside bedroom window. Unit does a wonderful job, is quieter than the window units we have had.
