Have you started shopping for Father’s Day gifts yet on DealDash.com?

Mother’s Day is over and Father’s Day is soon coming up on June 18, so it’s not a bit too early to start shopping for that special man in your life.

For DealDash shoppers who still have their father, I started looking for items that might make an excellent Father’s Day gift. A good place to start looking is by checking out the “Home, Garden and Tools” category.

Most men like getting a new power tool. Here are some auctions on DealDash that would make an excellent Father’s Day gift.

Disc Sander with cast iron base

How about a Disc Sander with Cast Iron Base that comes with a heavy-duty multi-tool bag? This is a two-in-one sanding machine that includes both a 4-by-36-inch belt and a 6-by-6 inch disc. This product has a BIN of $273.00 and has a two-year warranty. One of the best deals a shopper received on this sander so far was May 12 when it sold at $23.68 and the winner paid a total of $67.12 including the cost of the 306 bids placed.

According to the auction description, it has 4.3- Amps and the motor provides up to 3600 RPMs. A few features are that the belt tilts anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees, and this sander easily sands, smooths and removes all of the jagged edges and splinters on wood and lumber, and changing the belt is a breeze. A tension release level makes switching and replacing sand paper grits quick and easy, and the heavy cast-iron base prevents vibrations. This sander also has a sturdy cast-aluminum work table, and the belt disc sander has a miter gauge for steady sanding on angled edges, a stop bar for safety and control and a 2.25-inch dust port to connect a dust extractor.

An extra bonus is that this product can be put away when not in use because it comes with an open top foldable heavy-duty multi-tool bag made of durable poly-canvas. It has an iron bar handle with a foam grip and 4 internal and 11 external pockets of varying sizes, including a mesh pocket and a closable pouch to hold various tools such as drill bits, sockets and screws. The bag measures 16.32-inches (L) by 8.46-inches (W) by 10.24-inches (D) and can hold up to 44 pounds.

Men’s silk tie

Did you see the sophisticated and stylish high-end ties that go up for auction on DealDash?

These ties are 100 percent silk with inner linings in wool so the tie always holds its shape. They are 59-inches in length and 3.5-inches wide. Best of all, these ties always come in a fancy box, so no additional gift box is needed.

One especially stunning tie is a stone (light) blue one with a floral motif in white, which is “a distinctively modern pattern.” This tie has a BIN of $280.00. However, many DealDash customers have already won it at bargain prices. Some of the best deals previous winners received so far are:

• April 20, this tie sold for only 9 cents and the winner paid a total of 82 cents including the cost of the 4 bids placed;
• April 24, this tie sold for 38 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.78 including the cost of the 12 bids placed;
• April 29, this tie sold for 15 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.35 including the cost of the 6 bids placed:
• May 12, this tie sold for only 22 cents and the winner paid a total of 65 cents including the cost of the 3 bids placed.

I’m sure this tie would make an outstanding Father’s Day gift.

The bottom line

When so many shoppers have already won such fantastic deals, we could, too.

Are you shopping on a limited budget these days? If so, take heart and shop smart on DealDash.com. Many customers still win wonderful items here every day at bargain prices.

Today I decided to write about some awesome products for people shopping on a limited budget.

How about some low-cost items we might need to spend some happy summer days in the sun? DealDash has just what we need. I already spotted a low-cost beech chair and a low-cost hammock. Even people on a tight budget might have fun shopping here for these items.

Beach chair

This blue flower aluminum beach chair with a side pocket and a detachable cooler bag has a BIN of $100.

So far, the best deal a shopper received was when this beach chair sold May 13 at $4.12 and the winner paid a total of $4.02 including the cost of the 16 bids placed. Sometimes it’s possible to pay less than the selling price when the feature of the day gives winners a discount.

According to the auction description, “the durable 600-denier polyester fabric with lightweight, rust-proof, aluminum frame can hold up to 275 pounds.” This chair also includes a pillow, and padded back straps to make it easy to transport on our back. It comes with a zippered lined storage pouch, cell phone holders, storage pocket, a mesh cup holder and a folding towel rack. Best of all, it is adjustable to 5 reclining positions, including fully reclined.

So far, this beach chair has not been reviewed by any previous winners.

DealDash also has more styles of beach chairs that are going up for auction, so shoppers might want to check them out, too.

Hammock

Another item shoppers often look for to enjoy the summer sun are hammocks, and DealDash has several different styles up for auction.

My brothers and sisters and I grew up on a Minnesota farm and we often made our own hammocks using braided twine string, but they were not as comfortable as the hammocks now up for auction on DealDash. We had to add blankets and pillows. We once made a giant hammock that held about six of us kids at a time and we hooked it up between two trees about eight feet off the ground. On hot nights we sometimes slept in it to stay cool because we did not have air conditioning, and Minnesota summers can get extremely hot at night. Anyone who spent a summer there probably experienced that.

One double fabric hammock on DealDash that caught my eyes has a beautiful teal color and a 60-inch-wide by 78-inch bed, with an overall length of 10 feet.

According to the auction description, it can accommodate two adults as long as they don’t go over the 400-pound weight limit. It comes with a built-in stand and carrying case and its own hanging hardware, so we would not have to hook it up between trees.

The colorfast poly/cotton fabric is soft, strong, and breathable and conforms to body weight; and the 9-foot stand, with powder-coated steel, is easy to assemble. This hammock can be used indoors or outdoors any time we just want to relax.

Best of all, it has a BIN of only $200 so if we do not win it, perhaps we could afford to BIN it and get all our bids back free to shop for something else. So far, the best deal a previous shopper won for this teal hammock was May 11 when this auction closed at $2.82 and the winner paid a total of only $12.22 including the 47 bids placed.

The bottom line

If we ever wanted to shop for beach chairs or hammocks, now is a good time to shop for them on DealDash.com.  Who knows?  You could be the next one to win a great bargain. I’ll see you in the auctions!

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to find enough room for everything in my freezer. Many other people have the same problem, but DealDash.com has the perfect solution.

Did you see the countertop icemakers DealDash.com has up for auction? If you have enough counter space this is a good time to shop for one.  If we do not win an icemaker on our first try, that’s okay because DealDash has more icemaker auctions coming up. We can always choose to Buy-It-Now and get all of our bids back for free to use in another auction, too.

Let’s take a look at them.

Black countertop icemaker

• The inside reservoir holds two-to-three quarts of water, and the Led display electronic controls makes it easy to operate;
• We can store up to 1.4 pounds of ice in the interior basket, and an ice shovel is included so we can remove the ice in a clean and sanitary manner;

 “I could not have loved this anymore. It makes ice in only a few minutes in 2 sizes. Best purchase ever.”

Because this is such a popular item, some shoppers do overbid the value of this product. However, the good news is that some shoppers are still winning this countertop icemaker at bargain prices. So far some of the best bargains winners have received are:

Did you see the portable, light-weight vacuum cleaners on DealDash.com?

One of the most difficult housecleaning jobs I do around my house is vacuuming my two sets of stairs. At age 76, it feels a little clumsy and heavy to use my full-sized vacuum cleaners on my stairs. That’s why the light-weight vacuum cleaners on DealDash caught my eye. Perhaps a portable, light-weight vacuum cleaner would make the job much easier and safer for a senior citizen like me.

Let’s take a look at the light-weight vacuum cleaners that frequently go up for auction.

Black Cannister Vacuum Cleaner

This canister vacuum cleaner has a BIN of $320.

So far, all 14 of the last previous winners won a bargain. Some of the best bargains DealDash shoppers won so are:

• April 9, this vacuum sold at $9.78 and the winner paid a total of $18.49 including the cost of the 68 bids placed:
• April 12, this vacuum cold at $6.21 and the winner paid a total of $30.21 including the cost of the 120 bids placed; and
• April 17, this vacuum sold at $10.49 and the winner paid a total of $27.62 including the cost of the 125 bids placed.

The weight of this canister vacuum is only 8.8 pounds, which would be so much easier on my back. According to the auction description, this vacuum also comes with three cleaning attachments – a floor nozzle, a crevice tool, and upholstery brush, so it would cover a wide range of jobs in my house when cleaning the floors, sofas, and drapes. I could also easily use it in my car.

Another feature I like is the lengthy 16.4-foot cord, which means I would not have to stop and pull it out of one electrical socket and plug it into another one every time I want to vacuum another room. It also has a variable speed control so I could set the power level to a lower level for fine dust or a higher level for stubborn dirt or pet dander, but I do not have pets so I don’t worry about that. Best of all, this light-weight vacuum features hypo allergic HEPA filters, and has no extra costs because it uses a bag less technology and the one-click hassle-free bin is easy to empty and is fully washable. I also like that it has a low decibel output even at the maximum power setting.

With all of those features, it does not surprise me that after a whopping 347 customer reviews, this vacuum still has an overall rating of 4.73 out of a possible 5.0. That is an outstanding rating based on that many reviews.

Mini hand vacuum cleaner

This mini hand vacuum has a BIN of $200.00. This mini hand vacuum operates on a rechargeable battery with 18 minutes run time. The USB-C charging cable is supplied and has a charge time of about 3 hours, 45 minutes. This mini hand vacuum also comes with a removable filter and two attachments — a flexi long range attachment and a fixed brush attachment. It has a 5.5KPa suction power with a 75 w rated power.

Best of all, with no tangled cords for me to trip over, I’m sure that will make cleaning my two flights of stairs safer, faster and easier.

Again, after 5 customer reviews, this vacuum has an even higher overall rating of 5.0 out of a possible 5.5 and it never gets better than that.

For more information, see the auction description.

The bottom line

DealDash shoppers are happy customers because we win great bargains on products that make our lives better.

Happy shopping and happy spring cleaning everyone!
