Presto 09402 MyPod Refillable Replacement Pod Senseo




Presto MyPod Refillable Coffee Holder – The Philips Senseo coffee maker uses disposable pods to make a delicious cup of coffee. But those pods can get expensive, and they don’t have every flavor and type of coffee imaginable. That’s where the Presto MyPod can help! It replaces your Senseo’s pod holder, allowing you to use your own ground coffee. Simply pour the coffee into the MyPod, put on the compacting cover, and insert it into the Senseo!

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Presto 09402 MyPod refillable replacement pod for Senseo
Presto 09402 Mypod Refillable Personal Pod/coffee Holder +100 Extra Filters I used this and it is NOT the same as using a real pod of coffee. It does not foam up like a Senseo at all. Coffee is weaker no matter how much you use. I give it 1 to 2 stars.

5 Stars Great product
I love this refillable pod. It’s much more cost effective than buying the pre-made pods and I can use whatever coffee I want. I use it in the evening when I want one quick cup of a flavored coffee. I fill it with a scoop and a half of whatever coffee I’m in the mood for and make a cup in about 2 minutes. I can use much better quality coffee for much less money that the premade pods.

5 Stars A MUST HAVE!
I guess I would be called a coffee snob….I like my coffee. I haven’t found any coffee pods that equal the flavor of Starbucks fresh ground coffee. This little set up allows me to grind my own coffee and enjoy an “Americano” quality cup of coffee. My son uses my Senseo when visiting, and he worked at Starbucks years ago. He’s getting married soon and I’ve purchased a Senseo AND the Presto MyPOD Replacement for he and his wife. You’ve just got to have this if you have a Senseo.

2 Stars Wrong Size?
I’m not sure if my Senseo model may have been the wrong one. When I try to use the product by the directions, I get water all over the place. Was there supposed to be another part of help seal it better. I don’t know.

I am just writing it off as a bad investment.

3 Stars a comprimise product
Yes you can make good coffee with this product and save some money while doing it. It’s kind of messy and doesn’t seal as well as when using the pods. I would give it a b-

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Nice machine but can be better
I have been using the bullet for 3 weeks now and here is my feedback.

The machine is a great thing and I would definitely buy another if I need to. The recipe book has some simple tryouts and so far all have been deliciously better then expected. I only wish the attachments were made of better quality components. Just because I have one PRO and 5 CONS does not mean the tool is not worth the money and you should not buy it. Like I said, it can do a lot of great things.

Pros: small, very powerful and does what the promos says. I am happy with the thing.

Cons 1) The glasses, cups, and attachments are all made out of the type of plastic that scratches very easily when cleaning with a mild scrubber sponge.

Cons 2) The bottom of the blade attachment uses a rubber gear to engage with the motors spin mechanism. To run the blender the user pushes down on the cup which comes into contact with the gear on the motor. So when the user pushes down too lightly the base motor grinds and burns off the rubber on the underside of the blade. There will be smoke and rubber smell in the air with rubber shavings around. So when you use the bullet make sure you push down with authority so you don’t grind away the engaging rubber on the underside of the blade.

Cons 3) I wish the glasses and attachments were stackable to reduce/space needed to store away all the components.

Cons 4) The inside of the glasses/cups are ribbed/reinforced with a lines of plastic from bottom to top making it hard to just insert a sponge and wash out. Probably the dumbest thing about the bullet.

Cons 5) When ice gets ground in a smoothie there are always good chunks of ice that don’t get ground good enough and get left behind.

4 Stars Really good product
I purchased the Magic Bullet on the recommendation of some people from my diet support group. It works really well and I am happy with this product. I use it to make frozen drinks and smoothies mostly, but I have used it to make herb butters and salad dressings. It seems to always leave a few larger chunks of ice when I do use if for the drinks, but not too many. If it would blend all of the ice, I’d give this 5 stars. It’s very easy to clean up, too.

5 Stars The King of Single-Serving Recipes
If you make a lot of packaged “shakes,” as I do – one at a time, the Magic Bullet is a perfect solution. It’s a great little mixer, and not too noisy, either. I did buy the extended warranty.Magic Bullet 22 Piece with Bonus Travel/Storage Bag

1 Star Magic Bullet
Trash. Not worth the money. You are better off buying one of those round mini food processer. I threw mine in the garbage. I didn’t even bother about trying to send it back.

4 Stars Magic Bullet is a great product
After reading both positive and negative reviews for this product, I decided to go ahead and purchase one. As long as you read the manual carefully and follow the directions, the Magic Bullet works great. I have used it for drinks, smoothies, sauces, salsas and batters. It did not work well for the nacho cheese sauce. I ended up with a hard blob of cheese! It takes up hardly any room on the kitchen counter so I keep it out for quick use. And it is easy to clean. I would recommend this as a nice addition to the kitchen.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Don’t waste your money!
This product does not work at all… I have ants and the number of them did not decrease at all…. I was so dissappointed.

1 Star Sucks
I have a spider problem……and it didn’t help at all. I don’t know haow well it works for mice or anything else, but it doesn’t work for spiders.

4 Stars Works For Mice/Rats Only
I first purchased Riddex about 10 years ago on one of those shopping networks. I needed it for a mouse problem I had and it worked with in 2 days. It does not however work on roaches or spiders as it also claims. I think this is why the reviews seems so skewed. Different ppl purchased them for different reasons and thus got vastly different results. If you have a mice problem this is your product (Pest Contro works too). If you think it will rid your home of roaches, spiders or silverfish- it will not.

5 Stars ReddexPlus
We live near A wet lands and for the 50 years we lived here we have had

RAT problems we have tried most every thing and none of them worked very good so we tried RiddexPlus after A month or so they were gone and we have not seen any for meny years now we can’t hardly beleave it I mean there are ALL gone none in the basement or the attic or in the yard RIDDEXPLUS is THE BEST RAT CONTROL THERE IS.

THANK YOU RIDDEX

5 Stars Works for my house…
Not sure why there is such a great difference in reviews, but such is life. I’m in Florida, it’s hot and humid. We have roaches here, big suckers. I’ve had two of these little gadgets in the house for a week and I haven’t seen a single one inside since I’ve plugged ‘em in (did have a few in the garage after a major clean out over the weekend, but Raid took care of those). Rodents are not a problem for me, so I cannot attest to how well it works for those, but so far I’m loving the little plug ins for roach repelling. My house is cedar siding, so I have trouble with carpenter bees in the Spring and Summer – am hoping they will help with those, too…we shall see. Will report back if they quit working…

Koolatron’s Multi-Purpose Electronic Pest Repeller – The PestContro 5 in1 System! Ultrasonic sirens to fight pests within the room; Electromagnetic technology to help drive pests out of the walls where they might be living; Ionic air purification to help cleanse the air quality within the room wher the unit is plugged in; a soft glow floor light; and an extra outlet built into the side of the unit so you don’t lose any plug space!

The electromagnetic feature works within the wiring of your home and will not affect computers, tvs or other electronic devices. The Ionic feature is controlled by the On/Off switch found on one side of the unit. Color coded LED’s on the face of the unit confirm the various functions are working correctly to assure your PestContro 5 in 1 electronic pest repeller is performing at peak capacity.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star does not work
bought a similiar product, does not work, still see a lot of dropings, waste of money.

1 Star Do Not Buy if you have children of any age
Do not buy this product if you have kids of any age. My two daughters, aged 17 and 12, both came running from their rooms immediately after I plugged the unit into a wall socket complaining of a horrible noise. My eldest described it as if there were a million crickets screeching into a microphone. As such, this product is unusable in my home. It would be nice if the product documentation gave fair warning.

5 Stars Works for us!
Had serious mouse problem in kitchen & basement for months. Couldn’t get rid of them. Reluctantly bought this product but hopeful it would really work.

Placed in hallway in the basement. Directions state it may not be effective through walls so opened all doors in basement. Haven’t heard or seen a mouse since. No spiders either. Myself, husband, son’s, can’t hear anything, and dogs are unaffected. However, my son’s girlfriend can hear it and drives her crazy when she goes downstairs. That’s the only drawback. I just unplug it when she is here.

1 Star Field tested and not approved
I received and started using this product (5 in 1 Pest Repeller PC51 – Ultimate Pestcontro Unit Which Includes 5 Powerful Features) just over a month ago. I live in the country where rodents and other pests are a common concern and the ad stated “Anywhere rats, mice and other critters are a problem!”. So I was hoping this would solve my pest issues and I would not have to resort to poisons. But it seems that it has not. The traps are going strong and I cannot say if the “Ultrasonic Rodent Repellent” part of this thing or the “electromagnetic function” is doing anything at all. I could not and would not recommend this product to anyone.

1 Star But it makes for an interesting night light!
This piece of junk doesn’t repel anything. I’m not a child but even I have noticed weird feedback noise emitting from the device from time to time. The only good thing I can say is it does make for an interesting night light.

Premier Squirrel Dude

Premier Squirrel Dude




High durability and funky bounce coupled with the patent pending Treat Meter provide dogs with hours of fun. Small is recommended for dogs less than 20lbs. Breeds such as Miniatures, Terriers, etc.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Practical and Indestructable
Whether your a high-powered attourney or your average joe blow down the street, if you love your dog and your dog loves to chew, the squirrel dude is for you. Our yellow lab puppy has had this toy (large) for almost two months now and has yet to damage it in the least. She has been able to destroy dentabones, kongs, and anything made of rubber, but cannot seem to break this toy. She loves the irregular way it bounces when tossed and the little nubs hold treats inside for hours and hours of enjoyment! Very practical, fun, and tough. Excellent choice.

5 Stars Fun and Satisfying Chew Toy
In my estimation, the Premier Squirrel Dude is the best designed treat filled toy. The plastic is strong enough to withstand strong and extensive chewing and the hole which has three little teeth (that can be trimmed if necessary) keeps all kinds of kibble treats from just falling out. With other toys like this I had to resort to expensive fillers or high fat substances (like peanut butter) to keep our Jack Russell from emptying the toy too quickly.

5 Stars ‘Get your purple squirrel Jenny!’
Her favorite toy of all time. With the interesting shape, it’s the only toy she’ll chew on as well as fetch. Otherwise she just keeps throwing her toy at us until we play. She loves her purple squirrel. My girlfriend even wants me to buy her one. No, not for her dog. She just thinks its cute.

5 Stars funny! Smart~!
This is a great toy for all dogs, that are busy getting into things.

Good for brain stimulation!!

5 Stars Squirrel Dude
A most have for heavy chewers. My dog is a one-dog wrecking crew for most toys so I must be very selective about them being extremely durable.
