I've been waiting to write this article for a long time. But today I actually get to review the Lux Starter Kit! I, Kylie Armstrong, write about appliances for a living as a writer, blogger and reviewer and you have probably read my pieces about the Lodge Tempered Glass Lid (10.25 Inch) – Fits Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Skillets and 5 Quart Dutch Ovens by Lodge and the Bosch Oxygen Sensor, #15719 by Bosch. I also did an editorial piece on the Tabletop Enclosure for KeypadLinc, Black. Needless to say, I have quite some experience testing appliances and I only want the best to my readers of course. So I was really thrilled when I got this product to write about today!
Since 2012 I've been watching Smart Home1 so I am really excited that I am finally able to try the Lux Starter Kit and writing this review for you guys. While searching for the best deal on this product I stumbled across this offer on Smarthome Inc. (You can buy it here.) and I immediately jumped on the opportunity. So I got my creditcard out and placed my order. With the standard same day delivery and free shipping it really is a bargain compared to the competitor brands and retailers. Later that day when my Lux Starter Kit was delivered I opened it and was overjoyed with what I saw. I might sound a bit biassed being a longtime Smart Home customer but this product really steps it up quite a bit, which is immediately noticeable when opening the package. Now that I've been testing it for a couple of days now I feel like I know enough about the Lux Starter Kit to write this review. So keep reading and I will show you why I am so enthusiastic about my brand new Lux Starter Kit.
I always start my reviews about appliances with a summary, then a clear list of the pros and cons after which I'll give my rating and conclusion. So as you may have understood from the intro, I am blown away by the Lux Starter Kit. Smart Home has really outdone itself on this one. The quality is great, and frankly; it just looks awesome. I know aesthetics aren't everything with appliances, but it just needs to be said. Of course the price I got at Smarthome Inc. was and is unbeatable so make sure to check them out when you decide to buy one yourself. As I have tried many alternatives before, I really got to say they are no match for the Lux Starter Kit. Just the functionalities alone beats all competitors and the durability also seems to be top notch. The customer service of Smart Home2 is famous for being really generous so if you ever run in to any kind of problem with their products they're always really lenient with finding a solution. Long story short; not much negative to say about the Lux Starter Kit really. Make sure to read to the end tho because you might be in for a small surprise!
This pros list of the Lux Starter Kit could be much longer, and is way longer than the conslist, but the description3 this site has will probably already say it all. Here is just a little piece: "". So without further ado, this is the very much incomplete list:
I had a tough time thinking of cons for the Lux Starter Kit. Better prices are of course always nice and I don't know if you actually need this luxurious quality4. That's a thing only you can figure out for yourself. However, the list:
You won't be shocked after everything I said before that I'm giving the Lux Starter Kit 100/100, an A+ and 5 stars5. People in other reviews I've seen online sometimes say that Smart Home can never top the success of this product and maybe they're right, but maybe we can just dream ahead and see what they come up with next. So let's just enjoy the Lux Starter Kit while it's hot!
This product really will make your life better and will make you a lot happier. (And I didn't even talk about the resale value6!) I've really done my best to be balanced in this article but it turned out to be so positive that I recommend you reading some other reviews, and you'll find out they will tell you the same goody goody story. So I can just say is that I fully recommend the Lux Starter Kit to anyone in the market for it. And if you are still hesitating whether you need a new Lux Starter Kit. Smarthome Inc. has really made the choice simple. They sell you the Lux Starter Kit HERE for the record low amount of $69.99. But enough talk. Just buy it and fall in love with your new Lux Starter Kit!
