Bionaire® Digital Cool Mist Humidifier Save 13% Off

Bionaire® Digital Cool Mist Humidifier with Permanent Filter Programmable Digital Humidistat, 24-hour Run Time, & 16 Hour TimerI replaced my Graco programmable humidifier with this model based on some word of mouth reviews. I will say this, the machine looks pretty sleek, a lot better than the big white Graco. Unfortunately, looks is all that this thing has going for it.

The humidity control is a wheel that only lets you set in 10 degree increments, and then only from 30% to 60%. There is no display showing what the current humidity is, so you don''t really know how well it is working. The permanent filter is the same as the disposable filter used by every other humidifier, only it is in a plastic case and can be washed. The tank opening is small, which makes filling from a gallon jug of distilled water (best way to preserve the filter) a bit challenging.

But all of that can be tolerated, except for the fact that the machine simply didn''t produce enough humidity. I let it run nearly continuously for a week and it never hit the 40% level that I had set to trigger a shut off. It didn''t use nearly as much water as I would have thought given how long it was in operation. Finally, after a week, I used a hygrometer to test the actual humidity in the room...26%. 26% after a week of running? Nothing appears to be mechanically wrong with the machine. The fan works, the filter in the proper place, etc. It just simply doesn''t have the output I would expect from a machine at this price.

It looks cool, but I will go back to the ugly Graco and a comfortable bedroom at between 40% and 50% humidity.

I have had this device for over a year and it has worked well. Cleaning the filter is not as easy as they say. I don''t see the device working much longer mainly because of filter buildup. Lime away does not even get this thing clean.

I bought two of these from Costco and have been extremely happy with them. I get shocked badly all winter, but these little jewels eliminated that problem. Also, the relatively smaller water tank makes them very user friendly for older, less agile people. I bought a larger one for a small lady friend of mine and she was having a terrible time carrying the larger water tank to the unit. I gave her one of these and it fit the bill perfectly. This is simple to use and reduces the electric bill because when air is more moist it feels warmer than it actually is. I have one in my bedroom that I run all night so that I don''t have those problematic dry sinus problems that accompany winter heat in the house. I also have one in the kitchen (the other end of the house from the bedroom), so that eliminates the shock factor in that end of the house. Great little product at an affordable price.

It''s too bad there is no replacement filter for it to buy. Bionaire says it''s permanent, cleanable filter but after 2 months of use there is lime buildup and practically impossible to clean the filter.

Without clean filter and no where to buy replacement filter, it''s simply useless now.

The water tank broke after 1 week of use. It started develop several cracks, eventually leading to leaks. I have contacted the company but no reply yet.

Filtrete Replacement Filter FFRF02-WH-1 50-Gallon Fast Flow Replacement Filter Save 21% Off

Filtrete Replacement Filter FFRF02-WH-1 50-Gallon Fast Flow Replacement Filter, WhiteWe have loved the fast-flow aspect of this pitcher and the water seems extremely clear and odor free. The design is sleek and well thought out, the pitcher itself fits easily in the refrigerator and pours freely. The replacement filter indicator works extremely well and delivers a clear concise signal. This is the most effective water pitcher filter system we have seen to date.

We have a really hard water here. This makes the tap water, which we avoided like the plague, taste amazing. These filters are great.

Quick ship, better price than HDepot even with paying for shipping. Next time I''ll order two boxes to have a set on hand. Lowe''s doesn''t carry this filter. Although, go to a hrdwr. store and by a little tube of ''food-grade'' lubricant for the O-rings before reading the instructions and pulling out the old filter ;) I''ve replaced these filters six times and now head the recommendation to apply a little silicone so the o-rings don''t dry and the new filter twists on easier.

I have had the GE dual water filter for about 10 years. I use the FQWVF and the FQSLF. I had this installed since it is much more cost effective than buying small bottles of water or using 5 gallon jugs of water delivered for a water cooler. I have saved huge amounts of money by using these filters instead. The water is delicious.

These filters are difficult to find nowadays. I tried Home Depot and Lowe''s and had no luck. GE changes their products and forces its customers to buy an entire new system every few years; I really hate that. I have this filter set saved in my Amazon wish list so that I can go back to reorder. Just got my 2nd set. It took me about 2 minutes to remove the old filters and install the new ones. They work quite well.

Since my memory does not serve for the most of time, I used a black marker to write down the date on the newly installed filter so that I would know when to replace them!

Medelco 4-Cup Permanent Basket Coffee Filter Save 9% Off

Medelco 4-Cup Permanent Basket Coffee FilterThis filter wss purchased for use in a Mr Coffee DR4.

It replaces a permanent filter from Mr Coffee that had a plastic bottom with the mesh only on the sides.

The Medelco filter has mesh on the bottom as well as the sides, thus the water runs through the filter too fast resulting in weak coffee.

The only suggestion from Medelco''s help line was to use more coffee!

This fits perfectly in the "Mr. Coffee 4 cup". This was bought because the paper filters are always caving in as the water drips through it. So not only is this perfect for solving that problem, but it also is better for the environment. Oh, and it''s easy to clean too.

I actually read reviews that said weak coffee and bought it in spite of what I read. Now I feel silly because they were right so I will stick with paper filters. Believe the reviews that say weak coffee as they are true.

Waring DF280 Professional Deep Fryer Save 53% Off

Waring DF280 Professional Deep Fryer, Brushed StainlessI purchased this as a replacement to a dead Krups, which no longer sells or supports fryers. So I''m not new to fryers. Before my purchase I did quite a bit of research before I settled on this one. I needed a large fryer for things like fish and chicken.

I''ve had it about 3 weeks and put it through it''s paces. I made Fish & Chips, Corn Dogs, Chili Rellenos, Fried Chicken. Fried Oysters, Fried Zucchini, Fried Mushrooms, Potato Chips, Fried Cheese Sticks and even Fried Twinkies.

The only semi-down side is that I have to add more oil then Waring suggests. I added an extra 64 once bottle. It only raised the level about one inch. So plenty of room. After that is was great. I use peanut oil to fry. The unit heats up to 375 in about 15 minutes. It held the temperature very well. Everything I made came out great!I did not use the two small baskets, The only reason for those would be to fry two different things at the same time. I was able to use my dead fryer and some cheese cloths to filter the oil into.

The Fried Twinkies had a good fry but are really carnival novelty food. Not something I would make again...in case you were wondering. :)

Nicely constructed. Heats up very fast. I was torn on whether to buy a small, medium, or large fryer. This does take a lot of oil. If you want to keep fishy type of oil separate from other frying oils, it is kind of a hassle being so large. Or you could by one small and this large. The large basket is great for big portions. The temperature dropped only slightly when frying chicken. So far so good!

Buy Waring DF280 Professional Deep Fryer Now

I''ve been using an old aluminum dutch oven on the stovetop for frying for years. I got tired of overheating, smoke, and grease spattering everywhere. I considered both the F250 and F280 models, and decided on the 280 after reading a few other reviews. I tried the F280 today, and was ecstatically pleased! It heated up in about 8 to 10 minutes as it was supposed to. I feel that you should add about 1 or two cups more oil above the max line as even a few pieces of food doesn''t get covered by the oil when filled to the max line. There''s plenty of room for that much more oil. The thermostatic control is pretty good and thermal recovery is quick. The on-board timer is really handy too. It is just a simple alert timer that you set in minutes, and it counts down and beeps at you when it hits zero. I just finished 15 pounds of fried chicken, and there were no problems, and all batches came out equally done. I''ve wanted a deep fryer for a long time, and this model really fits my requirements. The vented lid keeps the mess of frying under control really well. I only gave it 4 stars because the beep needs to be louder, and the printed instructions did not even mention the timer''s existence. It was stupid easy to figure out, but the manual should have mentioned it.

Pro''s simple set up, easy to clean, no directions needed.

Con''s no catch screen under baskets. Baskets sit on top of heating element. No filter.

Design could have been better. Baskets hook on side when draining: large basket should have two hooks but only has one in middle and has a tendency to flip if food is off balance when draining/unloading. Cleans easily. Would recommend, worth paying $80 max for this item wait for it to go on sale.

This is an excellent tool for anyone who want to be able to deep fry food. It was easy to set up and start using immediately. The baskets (2 small or 1 large) that came with it give you a lot of flexibility and the ability to cook two things at once. It is easy to clean up when the time comes. This is one of the best kitchen purchases that I have made.

Hoover Quick and Light Carpet Cleaner Save 31% Off

Hoover Quick and Light Carpet Cleaner  w/Powerbrush, FH50035For the past 8-9 years I have been renting a RugDoctor carpet cleaner from Home Depot two to three times a year. Our carpets were brand new when we bought our house 20 years ago which was three kids and two dogs ago. I would love to rip and replace our carpets but not spending that kind of money right now.

My situation is unique in that I did not have to pay anything for my Hoover Quick & Light because our bank Visa had an awards program. The awards website just said Hoover Steam Vac and I saw several good reviews online. Once we actually received the unit I did a new search for reviews of the Quick & Light and was dissapointed that the majority were not good. I actually took it down to my local Hoover store to see if I could trade up for something better. No go.

So I figured I was stuck with another crappy device that would underperform and waste time. I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I first used the Hoover. It did just as good as job as the RugDoctor. Matter of fact I think that the power brushes do a much better job than the RugDoctors I was renting. The good news is that it is light and takes a small amount of water to operate. Which is good when your pet gets sick or you just want to do one room over the weekend. The bad news is that it takes a small amount of water to operate which also means there is a lot of stopping, adding more clean water and dumping the dirty water.

I think it is a very good unit for someone that wants to able to clean up after a pet or just stay on top of one room at a time. It is light and easy enough to use that my parents (in their 80''s) could use it. All in all a good unit and I would say good value for the $129 price range.

I have had 2 Bissel carpet cleaners, and while they do an ok job of cleaning, I am very disappointed with the fact that the spray system on both of them died very early and I am forced to manually disperse the solution. I wanted to buy yet another carpet cleaner so that I wouldn''t have to do this anymore and was determined not to get another Bissell because of this.

So with all the hype about "steam cleaning" from other products that you see on TV, I decided to go with the Hoover "SteamVac". Sadly, I did not purchase it on Amazon, because I could have returned it, but instead I got it with credit card points, and can therefore not return it.

For starters, there is NO STEAM whatsoever from this unit. As far as I can tell, it doesn''t even have any kind of heating unit at all, relying instead upon the hot tap water that you supply. Now I don''t know if Steam is the magical power that TV suggests, but if you''re going to call your product the "SteamVac", it should use steam!!!

Next, this unit has some of the cheapest quality construction of any device I have ever seen that was worth more than 5 or 10 dollars. While I do prefer having two chambers, one for clean water and one for dirty water as opposed to Bissell''s "bladder chamber" design, that''s about the only positive feature this unit has. The "overflow protection" consists of a wide blue plastic cylinder that is supposed to "float" up and seal off the chamber whenever there is too much water in it. Unfortunately, it only takes a slight bump when the unit is empty to make it pop up due to the vacuum that it requires you to continuously shut the unit off, wait for the motor to stop, let it drop, then turn it back on. Now the handle release lock, instead of having some kind of smooth gear release mechanism like any other kind of vacuum or carpet cleaner, instead has this super cheap plastic simple "catch" that is mounted 6-7" off of the ground, that half the time when you release it causes the overflow cylinder to pop up, causing you to repeat the procedure.

The hose is very thin and narrow and doesn''t sit very well on the machine, and you can''t simply take it off and start using it, you have to remove a cover and manually plug it in to the dirty water basin, and you have to connect the solution line to the side of the unit via this dongle which just hangs there loose whenever it isn''t being used. There is not a single piece of this unit which does not seem to be extremely cheap and likely to break.

After you get past the lack of quality and you start to use the machine, it is terrible. I will say this for it, the solution dispenser works very well, but after you''ve got it down on the carpet, even when the overflow protector isn''t stopping your suction completely, it just doesn''t seem to ever pick up the water all of the way. I spent ½ hour cleaning a 3x3'' spot and left it to dry, and the next day it''s still wet, and after several days the carpet is noticeably darker there. I tried it again and the same result. I tried it again and then vacuumed with my Bissell and then it was fine.

I think this may be the first scathing review I have ever left for any product, but this unit is absolutely terrible, I will never look to Hoover ever again, and I advise you not to either!

I bought the Hoover because everyone said it was the best of the best. I have dogs and they track but mostly I really needed to clean my carpet get it back to what it looked like before my old cleaner had broke down. Well this one doesnt clean at all. I could go over and over the same spot and it is still dirty. I am very disappointed. I did take a spray bottle of cleaner and spray the carpet first and for some reason that worked but dosent that defeat the purpose of a carpet cleaner, shouldnt the brushes be doing the same thing I use the same cleaning agents. Anyways I dont like the cleaner and if I could I would return it to Hoover with a big DISAPPROVAL.

I just got the Hoover Quick and light carpet cleaner a few weeks ago but right away put it too the test. The carpet near my front door gets a lot of traffic and it shows, after using this Hoover carpet cleaner I was pleased to see it did a decent job returning my carpet to how it once looked. The machine comes with a sample bottle of carpet cleaner so I used it. You load the upper tank with a cap of soap and then top it off with the hottest tap water you can get. The tank lifts out making it easy to fill just like the waste water tank, once full the sensor shuts the vacuum flow telling you it''s time to empty the waste water tank. Both tanks are on the small size so be ready to stop refill and go again. I was pleased finding the carpet was damp not wet after cleaning, most of the water returns to the waste tank speeding up drying time. One big plus to this machine is the handheld brush, you can clean a lot more than just carpet and it does a great job too! I think this is the smallest model made by Hoover making it perfect for apartments or smaller homes, if you just need to do spot cleaning such as cleaning up after pets this might be just what you need.

Want Hoover Quick and Light Carpet Cleaner Discount?

It is a decent carpet cleaner. Our carpet is about 5 years old now and we have a very rambunctious 4 year old daughter. We have owned this for about a year now. It does the job, getting rid of the stains left by the kid and the fat stinky 120 lb dog. It has an extra wand on it for cleaning in tight areas or say the couch the dog lays on after rolling around in his own feces. Hey, if the stain is gone and I don''t smell it, that is a good carpet cleaner to me.

Update: This now for some reason leaks all over the floor when using the cleaning wand....

pureguardian H1000 12-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier Save 48% Off

pureguardian H1000 12-Hour Ultrasonic HumidifierI first saw the Germ Guardian H1000 on the desktop of a co-worker. I searched the web for it and found the best price at Amazon. I originally bought it for work, but set it up on my nightstand to test it out and liked so much it never made it to the office. (I may have to get a second one for work.) It''s compact size and efficiency are real selling points. I even used it in a recent production I was in, taking it to and from the theater every night. Most of the other performers in the cast wanted to know all about it and were also impressed. I highly-recommend it.

I was very disappointed with this product. Initially, it appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. A small, attractive, filterless humidifier for a baby nursery that had natural antimicrobial properties.

Prior to purchasing, I read a number of online reviews. Like most products, there were mixed results, but overall the impressions seemed positive. I had read a review by Paul here who claimed that the product didn''t work. I assumed his review was hyperbole. Turns out Paul was right. It just plain doesn''t work.

We ran this humidifier in our baby''s nursery for 16 hours straight (refilling so the tank was never empty). In 16 hours, the humidity went from 33% to 34% !?!? It just plain doesn''t work.

Now, I should also state some obvious stuff. We used the product in what should have been an appropriate environment. The room is very small 9''x9'' and the door was closed to eliminate loss of humidity. Also, my experience can not be explained away as a single faulty unit. I had ordered two (another for the master bedroom), so we retested with a second model with identical results. Both produced a visible mist immediately above the unit, so they were ''working''.

This product has great features in theory. I was excited by the nano silver technology which in theory should make for a clean and low maintenance experience.

I returned this product and purchased a well known brand. While it didn''t have all the flashy features of this Germ Guardian, it just plain works. I installed it 10 minutes ago and the room humidity has climbed more than 5%.

Bottom line. This product doesn''t work. If you plan to purchase it despite these warnings, make sure you keep your receipt for the return.

This is a tiny humidifier! I bought it for my son as he suffers from bloody noses at night. We live in Arizona and it is very dry. We have the full size Germ Guardian on our side of the house and we like it but I thought the lights would bother the boys at night. So we ordered this. It puts out a small amount of steam and only lasts about 12 hours in our very dry house. But it seems to be enough for my boys. The unit does get warm and doesn''t turn itself off when empty. It has a light inside which makes the unit glow a very pretty blue which is a great night light.

And it doesn''t.

I was first very impressed by the reviews I read and liked that this humidifier is so small.

However, it is surprising to me that no one has mentioned the missing research yet when it comes to the nano particles that not only clean the air this humidifier blows out but also may be a health concern!

"A 2005 study in Environmental Science & Technology showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were toxic to human lung cells in lab tests even at low concentrations. Other studies have shown that tiny silver particles (15 nanometers) killed liver and brain cells from rats. "They are more chemically reactive and more bioactive," Illuminato says, because of their size, which allows them to easily penetrate organs and cells. "Products should be at least labeled so consumers can choose whether they want to be part of this experiment.""

.

There is not a lot of information out there for consumers to really understand the possible impact of nano particles in the air (and in food and clothes), and in the meantime, this technology is being used like x-rays in shoe stores at the turn of the century!

As much as I wanted to like this humidifer, I also don''t want to be part of a study in 10 years....good luck to everyone else!

Pentek C1 Carbon Filter Cartridge

Pentek C1 Carbon Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4'' x 2-1/2'', 5 Micron
  • Reduces fine sediment and chlorine taste and odor in residential drinking water
  • Nominal filtration rating of 5 microns
  • Carbon-impregnated cellulose media with polyester backing and netting for strength and dirt-holding capacity
  • Initial pressure drop of 4 psi at a flow rate of 5 gpm
  • Temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C)

I thought it was a carbon block filter, but it turned out to be a carbon impregnated cellulose filter. I have water that is contaminated with a chemical and use carbon block filters to remove it so it is safe to drink. I use a Whole house Carbon Block filter as a primary filter but use this smaller filter under the kitchen sink to provide added protection. This filter will probably provide short term protection, so I decided to keep them and use them for about two weeks each and then toss them. For other applications this filter may be adequate, but not for mine. I know I could have sent them back, but needed one right away so decided to keep and use these, but have also ordered carbon block filters to use when these are used up. Please research what what filter you really need based on your own situation. I do recommend a CARBON BLOCK filter to remove any chemical contamination issues, but again do your research, and make sure you are getting what you really need. I do not fault the seller, but blame myself for not making sure for not making sure I got what I needed!

EcoAqua EFF-6007A Refrigerator Water Filter

EcoAqua EFF-6007A Refrigerator Water FilterA lot of comments about this filter costing less than other brands. Remember one thing though. AT LEAST ON THE ONES THAT I''VE USED, while the OEM filters are made in U.S.A., this filter is made in China. I''m not going to comment any further, because YOU will be drinking the water out of the filters you buy, not me.

I too wanted to save some money. But, I guess in this case you get what you pay for! Never have had any trouble with my Maytag Wide-by-Side water filtration system before. Changed filter whenever the indicate light came on. First time I used this filter I had trouble immediately. As recommended I filled several glasses and discarded. Seemed fine. But, after about the 8th glass the water stream got smaller and smaller and by the end of the day nothing. We removed the filter, reinserted it and nothing! Tried another new filter same thing happened. Now I will head off to Home Depot to buy a $40 filter that hopefully will work unless this PIECE OF GARBAGE has damaged the system!

I got this kit primarily because my old water filter leaked. it was sleek in that it only had one chamber versus the three that are normally found with different filters.

One way I like to tell if my filter water is actually filtered is by taste and sight. Our water doesn''t taste bad to begin with but having a filter is good for peace of mind. As for sight a simple test ive used was taught to me by the Culligan man. if you freeze the water the ice cube should be clear. well i did this shortly after install and it wasnt too clear.

so that is why i question the quality of the filter. either way, if it doesnt taste bad and the water is generally filtered, I give it average marks.

I purchased a SS GE Profile refrig/freezer in 2002. The refrig was super quiet, except when the IM-4 icemaker cycled. The IM-4 could be heard from the next room. After having a new floor installed, the contractors must have damaged something in the rear of the icemaker (pump). I replaced with the new IM-6. After checking my connections and looking for puddles, I had to continue to look inside the freezer to see if it was working. The IM-6 is so quiet, I could not hear the cycling. The only sound that was heard was the ice dropping into the empty bucket. Finally a quiet ice maker for my quiet refrigerator! Good job GE.

I purchased the GE Icemaker IM-6 to install in my frig that had never been equiped with one. It seems the icemaker is packaged with instructions and extra parts so that it fits EVERY refrigerator GE ever made. It was not hard finding the simple two page instructions for my model. But being a guy, it was real hard to throw out all those extra parts not needed LOL.

The actual install was one of the simplest projects I''ve ever tackled. Was a little apprehensive when it took about 24hrs before it started producing cubes. But after that every hour on the hour... ice cubes drop.

I like this icemaker very much. Quiet operation and plenty of ice to keep up with my four adult users. Sure beats filling ice trays by hand. Thanks GE.

My ice machine stopped working in our GE GSS25TSWCSS side by side refrigerator. Our fridge/freezer was only 4 years old, but that about the lifetime of an ice maker. The green light was blinking on the ice maker. Everything i read online suggested that if the water inlet tube was frozen, then to replace the water valve at the back of the fridge. If there was no ice in the inlet tube then it was the ice maker and just to replace the unit. GE sell them for $148.75 plus shipping. This product included the WR30X10093 ice maker part for $81.00. Part arrived promptly. Removed 1 screw eased out the old ice maker, disconnected the plug and re-installed the new ice maker. Switched on and it immediately started making ice. Awesome. I saved about $60 on the part and no labor or call out charge.

Easy to install and works great. Having a tech come out would have been almost $300 but I purchased for 20% of this cost and installed myself in about 10-15 minutes. Nice thing about this purchase was the fact that not only did it come with the ice-maker, it came with pretty much every part that i might potentially have issues with down the road. (If you purchase different parts from a parts store, it would have been over $200.

Great buy and suggest ordering if you have issues with your ice-maker.

Easy to install. Made the first ice in less than one hour. The instructions were a little scary due to the fact that the book (yes it''s that big) of instructions covers all GE models this kit installs on. The kit includes parts for all of the other models. It took around an hour to install.

1. 20 minutes for read the instructions and separate the parts I needed for my refrigerator.

2. 20 minutes to install the Ice maker.

3. 20 minutes to install the water feed line.

No kidding, just an hour screw divers, pliers, and a 1/2" wrench.

PUR FM-9700 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount with 2 Filters White

PUR FM-9700 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount with 2 Filters White
  • Built-in Electronic Filter Live Indicator that shows how much filter life is left and when to replace it
  • Install easily in minutes on all standard faucets without tools
  • Comes with 2 filters - Each filter conveniently provides up to 100 gallons (2-3 months) of quality water
  • Offer a bypass feature that easily switches to unfiltered water for washing dishes

After 3 months the filter starts to leak water from every seam (not at the gasket where the front screws off but the seams where it is put together). The manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, is evidently aware that this is a problem because when I called in last year (after owning it for 3 months) they replaced the unit as soon as I described the problem. After using the replacement for about 3 1/2 months, it started exhibiting the same problem and the leaking gets worse each month. I have owned much cheaper Brita filters that never had such problems and I now wish I had never given PUR a chance.

I''ve owned other PUR filters and they''ve worked well. This one is not one of them. The company redesigned the faucet mount in this version which dumps the water out the bottom and then back along the horizontal faucet mount. So after spending money to get filtered water, you now need to wash the faucet mount to keep the water clean since the hole that the water comes out of no longer has the penny''s worth of plastic to keep it from running back along the housing. This one is in our office and I regret buying it. Buy the one that has the slider instead of the one with the fancy indicator light and you''ll avoid this problem.

About 6 months ago we discovered that the Pur counter top water filter that we have used for years was discontinued. We were very happy with it. So, we decided to purchase another Pur product. We purchased the Horizontal Faucet Filter. We ARE NOT happy with this one. To start with, it drips water down the back, it never tells us the filter needs changed, and it started leaking after about 3 months. About a month ago the water started tasting bad, so we thought we would change the filter (since it never tells us it needs changed), but the water continues to taste bad. The whole thing splatters and leaks like crazy. Now, my husband is an engineer and we are both college graduates...so we read and follow directions to the T on the package...but the water tastes horrible. We wish we had our old counter top filter back. But, since they don''t make that we will be changing products to a different brand. What a waste of money!!!!!!!!

My last Pur faucet mount water filter cracked and I replaced it with the same model. The sensor light didn''t function after 2 days of use. Will try Brita next time!

I use this filter in my Kenmore whole house filter. It fits perfectly and costs about 40% of what I would pay to get an identical Kenmore filter at Sears. At the price that Amazon has it, this filter is a great deal.

Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot Save 53% Off

Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, ClearI purchased this set for my sister who loves tea even more than I do. I loved her set so much I went back and bought one for me! The set includes a lovely borosilicate tea pot which makes it versatile. You can use it in your microwave, but you probably won''t. The heating and pouring of the water are essential elements of the ritual of tea making.

When you pour the hot water over the hand-tied tea balls, you will witness an enchanting display. The tea balls slowly open into delightful flowers. The pot and infuser are perfectly clear to show off your tea and allow you to easily witness the unfolding of your tea flower. I don''t bother with the infuser because the tea balls shed very little during the brewing.

Best of all, the tea is delicious. The green tea flavor is robust (through 3 potential infusions) and the jasmine is very subtle. I have since tried other brands but Primula has struck the perfect balance between flavor and beauty. I strongly recommend this set to anyone who loves tea and the soothing ritual of brewing tea.

By the way, you should try not to boil the water you use for infusing green teas. The flavor will be negatively affected by boiling hot water. Try to catch the water just before it boils. Small bubbles will start to rise. That''s the perfect time to remove the water from the heat and brew your tea.

Happy sipping!

This is a wonderful, unique gift for anyone who enjoys tea, including yourself.

I initially purchased this set as a Christmas gift for a male attorney I work with who very much a tea person. He absolutely loves the entire concept from the flowering tea balls to the different medicinal benefits of each flower.

The teas are very flavorful, soothing, fun to watch and one tea ball last sometimes a couple days (we get at least three four good steeps out of one ball, more if the pot gets emptied quickly).

The teas can be purchased at Meijer for $11.99 for the same 12 ball canister that comes with the set (they''ve been on sale for $9.99). It took us close to three months of brewing this tea almost daily to finish one canister.

Tip: The lid to the pot broke, and while you can purchase the lid from the manufacture, the $4.00 lid plus the $8.00 shipping comes to almost half the cost of an entire set. I took a lid from a large Yankee candle jar, removed the plastic seal (the seal holds the scent of the candle), the lid fits perfectly and works equally as well as the original lid, possibly better as it''s heaver. (Any lid from a candle jar about that size will likely work).

The attorney and our entire office have enjoyed this tea and I too am looking forward to trying the teas iced!

Enjoy Ü

This product is unbelievable. You just drop the ball in the tea pot with boiling water and it will change in front of your eyes into a beautiful flower. It is great and it would be an awesome gift! The tea pot by itself is very nice and it is easy to pour the tea to a cup. It does not leak.

I saw this beautiful product on Amazon.com while I was searching for the perfect gift for my daughter''s bridal shower. I was looking for a gift that would appeal to both the young and old guests we were hosting at our very special tea party. All of my guests were tea-lighted when they realized that the beautiful centerpieces that I used to decorate the tables were actually their take-away gifts. Not only did we get to enjoy a variety of delicious teas at the party, but I am still hearing raves from all of my friends as to how much they are enjoying the teas in their own homes.

The teapot is sturdier than I expected and has survived a lot of use, but I would never buy it again. Sure, clear glass is a nice medium if you want to use tea flowers like the ones that come in the set, but the glass infuser is a disaster. The tea is supposed to brew through four sets of slits in the bottom, which get clogged easily, are difficult to clean, and don''t allow enough water to flow through. The tiny slits make it hard to fill the teapot because the infuser can''t drain into the pot fast enough. To fill the teapot with tea in the infuser, I have to pour in water, wait as it slowly drains through into the pot out of the infuser, pour in more water, wait, pour in more water and wait, and then pour in the final bit of water. When I try to pour the tea, the lid and infuser fall out, so I have to hold them on or remove them. Tea leaves get wedged in the slits and have a hard time getting them back out when I wash it.

The one big upside is that it is very lightweight for a teapot this size. Plus, if you generally use tea flowers or bagged tea, this teapot will work just fine for you. It really is dishwasher safe even on the bottom rack. It will also survive rapid temperature changes, like dropping a bunch of ice into hot tea.
