Car Ashtray-Top car ashtrays for 2021, even smokeless!

Best Car Ashtrays
Smoker are faced with a challenge these days of the smell of their smoke being infused in their clothes and autos. This article will deal with the best choices for the car ashtray these days. As the stigmas regarding smoking are strong due to the ill health effects, these cash ashtrays are a must have for the discerning smoker and their non smoking friends and family.

That’s why we wanted to check out the latest options that minimize the smoke smell, effect, that has value and portability. Most of these ashtrays are portable enough to use outside the car, so thats also a plus.  These are great options because not many like the smell or health effects of smoke.

Car Ashtray

Car Ashtray, Newness Stainless Steel Modern Car Ashtray with Lid, Cigarette Ashtray for Car, Auto, Indoor Tabletop or Outdoor Use, Ash Holder for Smokers, Desktop Smoking Ash Tray for Home Office

This is the top model (but not the best rated, lol) that we looked at. Its a nice tray, made of stainless steel, simple and also modern looking. In fact its all stainless steel, so that’s good for durability.  Its 3 inches in diameter and about 4 inches heigh. Its easy to carry and actually looks good, not like a cheap plastic bar tray.  The tray does a good job of enclosing a lighted smoke.

It got 4.4 out of 5 stars from 469 ratings.
Many users swear by this model, but keep it mind its the most expensive. This is the most fanciest and top quality ashtray that we reviewed.

Cheapest/ Best Value/ Amazon Best Seller

Custom Accessories 93365D Black Smokeless Ashtray

So lets go to the the other end of the spectrum- the cheapest/ best value. This black plastic car ashtray is very basic. It fits most cupholders and is a classic plastic black.  Many users found it good for the price, but some weren’t impressed with its smoke snuffing capabilities.   It does rate high on categories for value, portability and durability.

 

The Bads:
It is about 4 1/2 high and 3 inches wide, some users state its more like 3 inches high. Some didn’t receive a lid on delivery. The reviewers are pretty strong in their opinions, so this is something to watch for. Still, it is half the price of our best model, so that means something too.
It got 4.5 out of 5 stars out of 146 ratings.

Best Car Ashtray

Here is our top choice for 2021:
TAKAVU RR-2-3-1 Car Ashtray, Easy Clean Up Detachable Stainless Car Ashtray with Lid Blue Led Light and Removable Lighter for Most Car Cup Holder (Silver)

 

You’ve seen the rest, now check out the Best. Like most best ofs’ that we rank, they usually end up in the mid range for price, and this one does as its not the most expensive. This large plastic and stainless steel Silver tray is made by Takavu. Its under 1 pound and is round in shape.

The Goods:
The tray looks good and also has a futuristic style to it.
The lid is tight and functional. This one actually would make a nice gift as it looks quite cool.

The LED blue light is worth the price of admission alone. This is a nice feature as it allows you to navigate your car s surroundings when its dark and you don’t want to turn the lights on.

Users liked the removable lighter that pops out for easy lighting.  When you are done, you just pop it in the receptacle and pop the lid down and you are done.
The tray is also small enough to be portable. As the lid stays tight, you can cart this around with ease.  The liner pops out so its easy to clean.  There is small button that lets you separate the liner for easy cleanings.
As mentioned the tray does look good and not cheap, like some of the bottom choices.

The tray is made well, and is fire resistant (which is a must, by the way.)
The tray has a USB plugin for the blue light that you can charge when in  your vehicle or wall outlet.

Here are some pieces of wisdom that reviewers had for those that want to invest in one.

1) Its a good idea to open the ashtray before you begin driving or when you aren’t occupied (like at a red light).  The lid opening requires two hands as you need to push the button down with one and lift the lid with the other.

2) You need to make sure to hold onto the cigarette and not rest it on the ashtray. Its not the best for holding cigarettes when driving around in motion.

3) The tray might not fit in autos that well, but good enough.
4) The light can drain the battery so you need to charge it at regular intervals.  The light is a nice feature that the other trays don’t include.

It got 4.4 out of 5 stars from 2,694 ratings.

Smokeless Ashtray
A Conclusion

We tried to make this a quick and dirty list of the best options that you can easily purchase in the car ashtray realm.  Whether you want something on a  budget, something fancier and metallic, or the best rated, there is something for everyone.  These also are priced in the range where they make a functional and economical gift for the smoker in your life.

As many love their cars as a long term investment, these ashtrays can help minimise the destructive effects that smoking can have.   As many auto manufacturers don’t even include ashtrays in many cars these days, these are becoming a popular item.

Luggable Loo 2021 Review- Top 12 Questions Answered!

luggable loo
luggable loo

This is a short review on the Luggable Loo. Its aim is to answer the common questions that many have about it.

Details:
Weight: 3 Pounds
Can use it with Double doodle bag (reliance)
Budget priced portable toilet
20 Liter (5 Gallon) capacity
Basic design with lid that snaps on
Good for outdoor excursions- fishing, hiking, camping trips
Good for construction sites (that have a bit of privacy, lol)
Good for preppers, or to prepare for emergencies
Here is a list of common questions about it:

1) What the heck is a Luggable Loo?
To sum it up, its a tough as nails porta potty that can handle any wild excursion. You can also use Doodie bags that makes disposing of your waste almost hassle free.
2) What is the weight rating for the luggable loo?

This is quite impressive, it is rated up to 350 pounds. This is quite a feat!

3) Does it have a bad smell?
Ok, lets be frank here. It does have a smell to it. Thats why some have decided to only use it outside. If you are more serious, than a makeshift outhouse might be a good idea. Its also a neat idea to have a good air flow system to help with this.

4) Does it come with bags?
Yes, it comes with 12 Double Doodie bags that feature biogel. If you need more, check out the details here:
5) What is Biogel?
I’m no scientist, but basically this gel helps turns “black water” into a milder, easier to dispose of gel with the bags. You can also buy the biogel seperately.
6)Are the”DD” bags biodegradable?
Nope. Make sure that you dispose of them responsibly.

7) How do I clean it out?

Its pretty simple, spray the whole bucket and seat with an appropriate cleaner and rinse thoroughly with hot water, preferably in an isolated area. It does stay cleaner longer when you use the DD bags.

 

8) How often should I empty it?
Its a good idea to empty it out at least once a week at minimum. The Bags do help with this, but its a good idea anyways.

9) Can I “Do Number Two” in it?
Yes, its a real toilet. Its also easy to dispose of the waste in different places, use your imagination, but be prudent.

10) Does it have a warranty?

Yes, a pretty good one. Its backed by the manufacture Reliance products. They offer a 5 year guarantee from the purchase date against defects. They will replace the defective item with receipt/ proof of purchase.

11) Can you “snap on” the lid when you want to move it to avoid spillage?
The lid isn’t air or liquid tight, so its best to be overly cautious and brave when performing this untidy task.

12) Does the lid fit on a 3 gallon bucket?
Yes, as most 3 and 5 gallon buckets have the same diameter on top.

Best Butter Dishes for 2021: Top 5 Choices.

best butter dishes
best butter dishes

Butter dishes are an often-forgotten necessity for ones modern kitchen. A good dish really helps to make sure that the butter stays at an acceptable temperature. It also facilitates the spreading on several items easily. It also prevents the annoying rock hard clumps that doesn’t spread on toast, or turns to waste. The tray also helps make sure it remains safe from harmful bacteria, air or even light. In this article, we are going to look at the top 5 best butter dishes available today.

This helps it stay fresher longer, and avoids spoilage. There is on old school idea that it doesn’t have to be stored in the fridge and is safe at room temperature. This might be true, but these dishes can be stored in the fridge too.

Here’s how we tested and reviewed butter dishes:
Construction:
The materials that we the most common were glass, porcelain or plastic. Each one has its own niche and function. Plastic is great for durability, but doesn’t look great. Glass and porcelain are classy, but breakable. Its really what you want and will serve you.

Ease of cleaning
It it dishwasher safe? Is it easy to clean? This is a big deal for the long term.
How big is it?
This is important to determine if its big or small enough for your regular needs. Is it going to be transportable, yet functional enough?

Here is our top 5 best choices for butter dishes for 2021.
1) Big Kahuna- The best of the Best
Le Creuset Butter Dish

This is a great dish as its remains classic, yet quite functional.
Granted there isn’t a lot of crazy big differences when it comes to dishes. They store your product, and hopefully make it easy to move it around when you want it to. But not all dishes are built the same. Sturdier materials are better for longevity, and also for preserving the sweet yellow gold itself.

That’s where this dish excels. It is very functional and practical, yet it looks amazing and classic. It comes in a lot of colors and works well indoors and outdoors. It’s great looking, so much so that its perfect in complementing a fancy occasion. It’s also a breeze to clean, would you believe its dishwasher safe?

2) Best Bang for your Buck

OXO Good Grips Butter Dish

Forget fashion, lets go to function.. Its not a work or art to look at, but it is super functional for the price.
Its made of BPA free plastic, and comes complete with tablespoon markings that’s great for food prep. This is a superbly designed dish!

It’s also a great budget buy, and one great feature is the nonslip bottom that ensures the butter stays put. The clear lid is nice and has grooves in it so it won’t move around when carrying it.
Its also been reviewed by over 9000 people and the dish rates an amazing 4.7 stars out of 5. Testers raved about the construction, lightweight construction and ease of cleaning.

3) Tough as Nails: Built to last

Rubbermaid Standard Butter Dish

Good, cheap, and built like a tank. This is good if you want it to stand up to abuse and wear. Its also great for picnics or outdoor events. Its just not great to look at… But it gets solid reviews of 4.7 stars out of 5 by hundreds of testers. And its also dishwasher safe!

4) Talk of the Crock:
Butter Bell The Original Crock

The original and king. Its from france, and its supposed to make the butter last longer than a regular dish. The bads are that you have to prime it, cream it and slam it into the crock. Then you add cold water to seal it. So it’s a bit of a procedure. You then have to replace the water every few days. But you can store it in the fridge, so there is that. Its also kinda pricey, but it is a crock after all.

5) Plain Jane but Adaptable:
Pillivuyt Large Covered Butter Dish

This is a good dish for long term storage outside the fridge. The lid covers nicely, so that you cant see if it’s a mess or not. It is designed well, with a raised handle and a base that makes sure the butter wont move around. Its also dishwasher safe.

Our top choice and final thoughts on best butter dishes

The Le creuset won our top 5 contest, but it was
close. The La Creuset was a good mix of everything, durability, looks and ease of cleanliness. But pick the best features that match your needs and lifestyle!

Best cheese slicer? 8 top ranked choices for 2021.

Cheese Slicer
Cheese Slicer

When it comes to Food and food preparation, the way that the food actually looks and is prepared actually has a bearing on how much you enjoy it. Just look at the perfection of Japanese cooking techniques and how long they practice preparing sushi rolls! A cheese slicer is one such tool for making your cheese look and taste great!

That’s why we are going to go over the best choices for cheese slicing today.
Slicers are an important tool to make sure that your platters are uniform and look amazing.

We went over a bunch of slicers to make sure that we choose the best ones. They are made of good quality, durable materials. There are different types like wire slicers and planes, rollers and knives. We look at options like wires, size, design, how easy it is to clean and if you can adjust the thickness of cutting.

Nothing compares to the taste, appearance and quality of slices that are perfectly cut. So let’s dive in to the best options for cheese slicers in 2021! Without further delay, here are our top picks for creating the best slicers in existence.

Your Cheese Slicer: How do you choose the right one?

Although there are a ton of gadgets and appliances for your kitchen today, a great slicer is a must have for the serious entertainer. If you are cheese enthusiast in any capacity, it is even more of a necessity.
It is a good idea to own one as it can be tricky to cut an even slice with a regular knife. A good slicer can help you preserve the stunning factor of your favorite kind. They will really pop on the plate, so it’s a good investment.

Here are some rules of thumb when it takes to make your choice.

Kinds of Slicers
There are 3 main types to narrow down your search.

1) Rolling Slicer
This has a T shaped frame and looks like a vegetable peeler. The cutting is down with a roller and wire. This is a good option for soft and semi-hard varieties.

2) Cheese plane
This is the first slicer that was invented. It has a metal blade that is flat and a handle at the end. There is a hole in the base where you can slice thinner pieces. This is a good idea for aged and hard and semi-hard types.

3) Wire Cheese Cutter
This looks like a cutting board with a wire attachment that slices the cheese. You raise the wire fence on the cutting arm and then lower it down on your selection. This works for sticky or soft kinds. If it’s a good slicer, it can even tackle the harder varieties.

So as you can see, your slicer choice is reliant on what cheeses you eat and want to eat. If you are a hard cheese enthusiast, than you would naturally choose the best one for that choice.

Construction Materials

As with most kitchen appliances, the best material to use for the slicer is stainless steel. Stainless steel utensils last for decades and don’t rust. Another plus is that they don’t require sharpening. Stainless steel retains a sharp edge if you maintain and don’t abuse it.

When the slicer has a board attachment, it’s a good idea to make sure the board is made and constructed properly. Items like marble or thick wood are good ideas for slicing boards. You want something that has some weight to it, so it doesn’t move and slide across your surface.

This means that plastic or lighter wood types aren’t worth your investment.
The blades and cutting wire should be made of good quality stainless steel, even though the producers might offer a replacement. Replacing them can be a pain, so it’s best to make sure that the blades are decent in the first place. However, a few spare wires should come with the purchase.

Construction Design
One of the most important aspects of a handheld slicer is the handle. A proper handle contributes to the safe operation of slicing.

Some slicers offer adjustable angle for adjusting the thickness of the cheese. The wire cheese slicer type is the most adaptable choice. It is hard to get consistent results unless you make sure the block is in the proper position.

Storing and Size
Other criteria to think about are the storage and portability of your slicer. Handheld slicers are the most convenient option. The wire slicers are a lot more cumbersome.

How to clean
Also important is the ease of cleaning for your slicer. Some slicers are dishwasher safe, so this is a plus. The ones with boards need to be cleaned by hand, so this is something to consider.

Our 7 Top choices for the Best Slicers of 2021

If you are serious about your party platters for entertaining, then its time to invest in a good cheese slicer.

The board size is good for larger slabs of cheese. It’s great for soft cheeses all the way up to the hardest varieties. This is large slicer so you will need the room if you purchase it. But it’s our favourite and best cheese slicer from those we tested.

The basic construction is the seat that sits on the floor and usually a backrest. The backrest usually can be adjusted. Floor chairs are great for lounging, reading, watching TV, even working on your laptop!

We have painstakingly reviewed the top 10 floor chairs that are available on Amazon for 2021. We reviewed different options, construction, materials etc of dozens of available floor chairs to cull our top 10 choices.

Its comfortable for the short term, but lets just say you wouldn’t want to watch gone with the wind when lounging in it as your back may get sore.

Fortunately, here at Your Top Shelf Life we have done the sifting for you and have picked the best and brightest wooden coasters available on amazon. Here are our top picks:

Rustic Wooden Coasters

1) Big Kahuna- The best of the best
Lipper International Wooden Coaster

The Goods:
The look of the Lipper is very stylish, like big slabs of woods with a rustic appeal. You could even describe the look and feel as “cozy” and “homey”. The Lipper also makes a unique and wonderful gift that look more expensive they actually are. The texture is great and would match well with many tables, whether dark, light or somewhere in between.
These wooden coasters are made for daily use, yet still look good enough for other occasions. The acacia wood is functional and not hard to maintain. They are also is easy to store.

The Bads:
It is possible that the Lippers might get stuck to certain mugs or glasses. But really this is not a deal breaker for most. A great value at Amazon:

Custom Wood Coasters

2) Most Versatile-
Qualtry Wooden Coaster

The Goods:
The Qualtry are quite amazing as they can be personalized to match you and what you want on them. They look modern and are also quite functional. They are constructed out of bamboo, but go well with any glassware. They are also quite sturdy. These are great for a home bar, coffee table, or less formal settings. They are decent at absorbing moisture so good for cold drinks with ice or beer bottles. Also they make a good gift as you can customize them for your friends and loved ones.

The bads:
Don’t quite have the formal appeal, but to each their own.

Unfinished Wood Coasters

3) Functional and Convenient
Kamenstein Wooden Coaster

The Goods:
The Kamensteins are a neat idea as it has a cork insert that helps with moisture and makes sure that potential furniture marks are reduced. They are also quire durable for the long term. The design is quite versatile so it will match your home décor, or even your work setting. They are made in a eco-friendly way so you can feel good using them in the long term. The pads on the bottom help with the coasters to not slide all over the place. They also are constructed with a small lip on the bottom. Its great for either hot or cold drinks.

The Bads:
We found that some of the pads on the wooden coaster bottoms don’t stay glued on for the long term.
