Product Review: Attach-It 3oz Measuring Cups
3 oz. Measuring Cups
Description: (Taken from AG's website)
Keep a handy measuring cup with every concentrated product.
The Attach-It Measuring Cup hangs around the neck of just about any bottle so it's always there when you need it. The 3 oz. measuring cup has the volume marked on the side. Hang an Attach-It Measuring Cup around each of your concentrated detailing products. By giving each product its own cup, you'll avoid the cross-contamination that occurs when reusing the same cup. Use Attach-It Measuring Cups with shampoos and concentrated cleaners. Attach-It Measuring Cups are sold in packs of three.
Price:
$1.99 for 3
Introduction:
I'm the type of person who doesn't want to pay for something that I think is either not worth it or unnecessary. This product fits both descriptions, or so I thought. I've always used the caps to dilute my shampoos or no rinse solutions before mixing them into the bucket of water. Not only do they get messy but I don't think they're accurate because it overflows or spills most of the time. Even with this belief lingering my mind, I still refused to pay for a set of plastic measuring cups.
I posted in a thread one time saying I want to try this and a kind-hearted member said he'll send me a cup. I was very thankful of this guy because he didn't hesitate to offer this to me despite the shipping charges probably costing more than the product itself. It would have probably made more sense if I paid for the cups LOL! After receiving the measuring cups, I was hooked. I don't know why I didn't have these earlier. I immediately placed my order for a pack of 3. That's how much I liked it.
Opinions and Observations:
The measuring cups have markers every half an ounce on the side to show you how much volume the product is in the cup. The cup is also translucent so you can clearly see at what level your product is at. Here's a picture of the measuring cup with 1.5oz of ONRWW:
Once you have the appropriate level of product, you can then pour it to your bucket or to whatever container you're going to use. This can be seen in the following picture:
Another AWESOME feature I like about these measuring cups is their built-in hanger. You can attach the measuring cups to the caps of the concentrates or shampoos you have. I guess that's why they're called "Attach-It." This ensures that you have the measuring cups whenever you need them. It'll lessen the chances of losing them. Here's this feature shown in the picture below:
Tips & Tricks:
I would like to share with you guys another application I use these measuring cups for.
I like using Meguiar's Detailer line of products such as Last Touch, APC and APC+. As you know, their secondary bottles have dilution levels on the side to show you where to pour both water and product and give you the proper product dilution. But this only works if you start out with an empty bottle. I really hate starting out a detail with a partially full secondary bottle because I don't know if it's going to be enough for my application. So before starting any detailing session, I like to have my secondary bottles full. This is where these measuring cups come in handy.
The picture below shows a Meguiar's Last Touch seondary bottle partially full.
How do you fill it up with the proper 1:1 dilution with the bottle partially full? Well that's where the measuring cups come in! TADA!!! I just measure equal amounts of product and water as shown below:
2oz of Last Touch:
2oz of water:
Then pour each of them to your secondary bottle as shown below. Just a tip, don't fill it up to the 3oz mark when doing this. It gets messy - trust me!
You can also fill it up higher than the normal full line as shown below:
This tip will also work with any secondary bottles with or without the dilution levels on the side. Also, any dilution ratio will work with this method too. Just adjust to the proper ratio of course.\
I hope you guys don't discount my review for such a cheap item. That's the beauty of this product, it's so cheap yet effective. It simply works and it's so worth it.
Suggestions For Improvement:
Just a suggestion to further improve an already great product. I'd really like the measuring cup to have a very small pouring lip on the lip of the cup. This will make pouring to secondary bottles with small openings easier.
Conclusion:
As originally stated, I didn't think that it was worth to pay the money (even if it's little) for pieces of plastic. But boy I was wrong! This is a necessity! If you don't have these bad boys yet, you need to put them in your cart right now! At the cost of $1.99, I'm sure everyone can afford it. Trust me, it'll make your life easier. I really hope that this review helps everyone.
