WaterChef SF-7C Premium Shower Filter System Save 10% Off

WaterChef SF-7C Premium Shower Filter System
  • Powerful 2-Stage System with Thermal Guard for Superior Chlorine Reduction
  • NSF Certified (NSF/ANSI Standard 177 for Chlorine Reduction)
  • Deluxe Shower Wand with Adjustable Spray Patterns (including Pulsating Massage)
  • Hand-Held and Stationary Positions (Perfect for people AND pets.)
  • Anti-Clog Rubber Spray Nozzles

I wasn''t sure what to expect when ordering this product, since I was unfamiliar with the brand. I read the reviews and did some research on the filter, and after about 2 weeks of use, I am VERY happy with it.

Filter 5 stars: The filter alone was worth every penny! I can already tell the difference. The water has a "softer " feel, and no more sulfur and other chemical smells!

Installation 5 stars: Extremely easy to install, no tools needed and I have noticed no leaking unlike some other "cheaper" brands.

Quality 5 starts: High quality materials.

Water Flow 4 stars: This shower head did not produce as high of a water flow as my previous Original Waterpik brand. If you like a more gentle water flow then this product is definitely for you!

If you like a more forceful water flow, then look at something else like the Waterpik brand.

Side Note/Tip: If you have an old Waterpik handheld brand, the head piece will thread perfectly onto the threads of this one, giving you increased water pressure! To match the Brushed Nickel, I purchased one of the Waterpik brushed nickel models. The brushed nickel color was not a perfect match, but it did fit perfectly! and NO LEAKS! :)

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.

Same thing that happened to Amalie below happened to me: the plastic bottom cover of the filter either had a small crack in one of the seams, or it broke the first time I turned the water on. The crack was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye, but with the faucet on a strong pressured stream of water emerged from one of the seams.

I''m in the process of returning it now. Will try one more. Very happy with the construction, other than the plastic bottom cover of the filter housing. And considering the seemingly solid construction of the rest of the unit, I am surprised they went with plastic for a compartment cover that would be under pressure. . .

Definitely a quality control or design issue.

***UPDATE***

I did reorder and am happy to report no problems with the replacement shower head . Would be a five-star rating if not for the defective first unit.

We''ve had this WaterChef product for about 3 months, and during use, it''s easily noticeable for my wife and I to smell in this case the absence of chlorine in the steamed air. I would say the effect on skin is perhaps less noticeable, but knowing that the chlorine is being filtered out, it''s worth the health benefits.

For those that don''t know about NSF certification, NSF International is an internationally recognized organization that, among other functions, performs audits, certifies individual products, and develops standards for health specifications. You can rest assured that, having been qualified, this product has been tested and verified to reduce the harmful chorines in tap water.

I have had experience (2+ years) with another shower filter (Aquasana) before this one, and the effect of that was very similar. The reason we changed was because (whether it was normal wear & tear or slightly weak plastic construction) the housing ended up cracking and breaking. It was made with plastic, so I''m hoping the WaterChef may hold up better.

Now I''ve also had a unique situation, wherein customer service comes into play. The shower''s pipe from the wall ended up breaking off at the threading going into this product''s housing (the pipe was definitely old), and there was no way for me to be able to get it out (I went to Home Depot just to check if it was possible). On the off-chance that I could get some assistance from the WaterChef people, I contacted them, sent them a picture, and explained the situation. I will clarify here that this was no fault of the product, and I also let them know that I wasn''t blaming them. In any case, a customer service representative quickly contacted me, and offered to send me a replacement for the housing at no charge to myself. Excellent, excellent customer service.

As a last word, I will say that, having had to use a shower the past week or so without filtration, it is easy for us to notice the chlorine smell again. This product is definitely worth it.

This shower system is one of the more attractive ones on the market, but unfortunately the base of the canister which holds the filter was very thin and cracked the first day. All other parts of the filter were very sturdy. Customer service was prompt and courteous in refunding my money.

So after returning a defective item and ordering a new one, I had a bad start with this product. The unit doesn''t seem to be very high quality. I ordered a nickel brushed unit to match the rest of the things in my room, but the handle itself and some parts of the filter container was not well "brushed". The cap on the filter container is made of plastic, and feels cheap to touch. The removable shower head has a weird deisgn to it. Unlike most removable shower heads, the catch on this one is very inconvinently designed. Instead of just sliding onto the base, you have to "hook" the head on the catch. Also the shower head itself is very cheap looking. The water shooting out of the head isn''t 100% straight because the plastic molding of the head is not perfect.

The positive aspects are that the product is pleasant to view from few feet away, and I know the water is coming out cleaner. I used to smell this tilex sort of smell, but the smell is all gone now. Also the filter replacement for this product is cheaper than the other products.

Nesco WK-64P 2.24-Quart Electric Water Kettle Save 11% Off

Nesco WK-64P 2.24-Quart Electric Water KettleThe product image shows the unit beyond fill capacity for an added "coolness" effect with the water boiling.

The "NESCO" logo becomes very hot to the touch.. so after refilling the lid will need to be closed very quickly or with something to cover your hand to prevent burns.

The first time I filled it up with cold water from the tap (as per the instructions), I thought it took a long time to boil. So then I timed a few boils using cold tap water (wastes least water, most realistic usage scenario for majority of my time):

Boil time 1 not timed, 8 cups

Boil time 2 10:30.0, 8 cups

Boil time 3 2:46.1, 2 cups, no cooldown

So when the product description says "in a matter of minutes hot water will be ready", I think they''re going based on the minimum fill amount of 2 cups.. or having filled it with already hot water from the tap. Timing is done from switching power on to when it auto-shuts off using the stop watch on my iPhone. So it may have a second or two margin of error due to reaction time.

After 4 full boils (directions recommend 2) there is still an extremely slight plastic smell to the water which I imagine will go away after a few more full runs. There also appears to be a very light flavor difference between the boiled water from this unit and from our stainless kettle on the stove. It''s hardly noticable and when I mix up 3 cups, one boiled from this, one from the microwave, and one from the stove.. I can''t accurately pin-point where each was boiled.

Ultimately, I purchased this for convienance. My wife is from the UK; both of us are big coffee and tea drinkers.. waiting for the kettle to boil on the stove top was getting old. Boiling water in an electric kettle is more energy efficient and opens up a space on our stove top again where our stainless steel kettle once sat.

The lighting on the unit is kind of cool but the kids seem to enjoy it more. The light isn''t as bright as shown in the product image and is somewhat overpowered by normal lighting within the kitchen.

Overall, I''m happy with the purchase. Now if only they would boil as fast as they do in the UK.. ;)

As someone who lived in the tea-drinking land of the Brits for years, I am fussy about my cuppa. I use distilled water and would be the first to reject the appliance if there was any taint to the taste of the water.

When I unwrapped the kettle, the first thing I did was boil a mixture of tap water and white vinegar, at least a cup of the latter. Be careful if/when you do this -the mixture will literally jump out of the spout of a full kettle when it comes to a boil, so make sure there''s nothing like paper or flesh that can be splashed! Then I poured the vinegar mixture down the sink, rinsed the kettle with tap water, filled it with distilled water and boiled a faultless cup of tea.

The kettle is well-designed so that water neither dribbles short of the cup nor leaps past it when pouring, and the balance is good when grasping the handle from well down the side.

The blue light is hoopy, too.

Length:: 6:41 Mins

This ''Nesco Electric Kettle'' will bring a cool mood to your kitchen.

The kettle turns on a beautiful true blue color to light up the water while it is in the heating process and turns off along with the heating element at the moment the water reaches boiling point.

As much as this kettle is electric, it doesn''t sing that tune, so you''ll have to rely on viewing the kettle to know whether or not the hot water is ready. If you don''t care for that tell-tale kettle''s whistle though; not hearing it just might have you dancing along with the bubbles in the boiling water. Those bubbles produce quite a show and are a pleasure to observe if you have a fascination for that sort of thing. The entire front half of the kettle boasts a large clear/opaque plastic viewing pane to enjoy this lighted experience.

There are a few key points to note from my experience with this product.

*kettle only boils water, no other substances are to be heated with this appliance (for best performance don''t put tea bags inside either)!

*kettle does not have a way to maintain water at a constant hot temperature for prolonged periods/ no keep warm feature

*once the kettle boils the water, it does turn itself OFF.

*minimum boiling volume is 2 cups at a time, maximum is 8 cups

*kettle comes in two parts; cordless kettle and corded kettle base

*kettle has AUTO OFF built-in feature, no permanent ON feature

*ON switch is on the kettle, not on the base; there are no switches on the base

*interior base is the most metal to come into contact with the water, everything else touching water is plastic

*there is no glass in this appliance

*kettle swivels freely full-circle 360 degrees on base so you can place the handle at any angle

*kettle base takes about as much room as a standard 6 inch round cake pan sitting on the counter as far as surface area

*best practice: to empty out kettle after use as it is not recommended to leave water sitting in the appliance for prolonged periods to prevent eventual calcification

*the filter, a small sieve/strainer located inside the kettle just in front of the pour spout, is removable for rinsing by sliding/slotting into place and is used to protect any sediments from within the kettle from being poured out into your cup

I recommend boiling and rinsing the kettle 3 or 4 times at full capacity prior to enjoying a beverage or meal with water from this kettle for the first time. after following this practice, i experienced no flavor taints in the water.

Overall a fantastic kettle and one of those must have appliances for anyone who enjoys often some hot tea and cocoa, instant ramen or even steaming hot towels used in cosmetic/therapeutic practices. My whole family has been using my Nesco Electric Kettle and commenting on how great it is. I think my old whistling stove top model is jealously retiring.

We''ve been using it for 1/2 year now. Workls well, we like it. Previous Krups worked for 13 years and though Nesco has some deficiencies, I still gave it 5-star rating.

Pros:

360-defree rotation when on base

transperent water-view

quick boiling

low-noise compared to other black/steel models

price

look and feel

solid and stable

not heavy, balanced (unlike new Krups)

Cons

you have to fill it above MIN mark/2 cups or it won''t shut-off quickly, will be hot

filter/screen(useless anyway) may fall out when lid is open. We don''t and fill through the spout.

I love my Nesco electric water kettle. It has wonderful capacity, super-fast boiling, convenient cordless portability and the blue light indicator is so eye-catching. If it had some sort of audible alert I would give it 5 of 5 stars. The blue light is great if you are in the same room else the light turns off when the water reaches boiling and the kettle automatically turns off with its safety feature (also nice). Would still recommend it, however. It has a much more comfortable handle than a regular teakettle.

Aprilaire Humidifier Maintenance Kit for 600 series

Aprilaire Humidifier Maintenance Kit for 600 series
  • 1 # 30 pad
  • 1 #4330 Scale Control Insert
  • 1 #4331 Yellow Orifice
  • 1 #4004 Strainer and 1 #4335 Feed Tube Assembly
  • 1 #4331 Distribution Tray and 1 #4223 Drain Spud

I really just ordered this for the bracket and tray, but getting all the extra parts was nice. I''m hanging on to them for future replacement. This came with all the pieces to those attachment from the solenoid to the humidifier (plus a new hose, which is not included in the product pictures), the gasket for the base of the humidifer for the drain tube, a new pad, the black bracket and tray.

The pad is a branded Aprilaire replacement pad. I''ve been using off-brand for years, this is actually the first time I''ve even had a branded pad since it was new.

The bracket was 100% identical to the bracket I replaced. I didn''t really need to do so, but the old one was funky with deposits on it so I figured I didn''t need it anymore.

The main draw here, for me at least, is the tray. The tray that came installed with my unit had nothing in its base to guide the water to distribute evenly. It was just smooth plastic. But the tray that came in this package has a pad across the bottom with grooves that I assume are meant to help with that even distribution. With my old tray, the water always seemed to pool on the left side (I think the unit isn''t 100% level) and occasionally spill over the top. So far, this new tray seems to work much better.

I could not possibly tell you if these parts are all Aprilaire OEM parts, nothing came in a branded box but the humidifier pad. But every piece seems to be of identical quality and construction. The only difference is the tray. If this tray is an OEM Aprilaire product, then I would love to know what was used in my original install. Regardless, the tray is great!

Watts Premier 500450 Water Pitcher Save 19% Off

Watts Premier 500450 Water Pitcher Powered by HALO Pure with LED Monitor
  • Water dispenser with filter. Reduces sand silt, sediment, rust, chlorine taste and odor in water
  • 99-Gallon filter capacity. More than twice the capacity of standard pour through filters
  • Filter-life gauge indicates when filter needs to be replaced
  • WQA tested and listed to ORD 0901 Microbiological Testing Protocol for pour through filters
  • NSF certified

I bought this Halo Pure water pitcher for our cabin. This pitcher has given us the peace of mind to not only make sure the well water is safer, but the taste is fantastic. It states it reduces the heavy elements, whereas retains the beneficial minerals which makes great sense. I really like the indicator light that tells us when we have gone through 99 gallons and time for a new filter, which I also purchased on Amazon. 99 gallons should last us about 4-5 months, which is way more economical and ecological than purchasing bottled water. I just don''t have much confidence in the cheaper pitcher models on the market. The design is very sleek, which fits well in our refrigerator

Buy Watts Premier 500450 Water Pitcher Now

Filters 8 liters per day (maximum recommended). That''s just over two gallons.

Clear, easy to understand instructions.

All parts fit together easily. Good materials. Well made.

Recommended for potable water only. This is not something you should rely upon if the city water shuts down and you''re depending on runoff. I filter city water. Takes out the particulates and cuts the cholorine and other off-flavors and smells. Disolved oxygen remains, so the water doesn''t taste flat.

Takes about 15 minutes to filter a liter. May take longer as the filter clogs.

I noted a little black from the new filter. Instructions recommend discarding the first two iterations, so that became a non-issue.

I like this system very much. I ordered a second pitcher and three more filters.

The filters that this pitcher comes with have no effect on my tap water at all. Brita and PUR both work much better. I do, however, really like the design of the pitcher itself. So many water pitchers are so flimsy that you need to use both hands to pour in order to make sure the lid doesn''t fall off. This one doesn''t have that issue.

Here''s what I''ve done with it: If you have at least one of the filter cartridges that came with this pitcher, you can remove the black rubber gasket wrapped around it and place it onto a standard Brita filter. This allows the Brita filter to fit inside this pitcher, and it works really well for me. Every time you change your Brita filter, just remember to remove and wash the gasket, and then place it on the new filter cartridge. I have no idea if the LED counter effectively measures how often a Brita filter needs to be changed, but I use it as a guide (since otherwise I would just get lazy and never change the thing).

This a great, reliable, and easy to use water filter. It fits perfectly in my refrigerator and the sturdy design makes it easy to hold, pour, and refill when needed. It was an incredibly doable set up as well. Moving from Seattle, WA to the southern California area, the tap water had a "funny taste" but this filter took care of that issue remarkably. My water tastes great! I completely recommend this product for anyone in need of a water filter or ridding their water of that same "funny taste." :)

DirtTamer® Ultima V2510 Cordless Wet/Dry Hand Vac Save 24% Off

DirtTamer® Ultima V2510 Cordless Wet/Dry Hand VacI bought this vac after reading all the reviews I could find on it.. they all sounded very positive. One big reason for buying this model was that it has a HEPA filter, which is very important to us since we live in the dusty desert and have to deal with allergies as well.

The basic vac is pretty darn nice... it has a nice comfortable, balanced feel and pretty good suction. It has not run the battery down any time I have used it so far... seems pretty strong.

I immediately noticed two problems with the basic unit though, and did some ''engineering changes'' to improve it:

(1) The on-off switch was almost impossible to operate using just one hand. It is a smooth, dished button that you have to slide with the thumb of the hand holding the handle. Good idea, except that it was so smooth that my thumg couldn''t get a grip on it, especially to turn it off, so I would use my other hand to work the switch. I cured that problem by ''dimpling'' the button with dots of super-glue, then using super-glue to make a strong ridge across the middle (side-to-side) that my thumb could get in front or back of to turn it on and off.

(2) The ''headlight'' shines back into your eyes making it hard to see what you are doing in dark areas. I solved that one by putting a small piece of aluminum duct tape across the top part of the lens. It not only keeps the light out of your eyes but also reflects more light toward the area you want to see... works much better.

The one problem I have yet to solve involves the HEPA filter. You remove the foam filter that comes installed in the vac, then install the HEPA filter in its place. Problem is, HEPA filters are usually used as a FINAL filter, after the air has passed through the normal filters. Also, the HEPA filter for this vac is pretty darn small in area. Using it as the main filter as they do with this vac, it plugs up almost immediately since it has to catch ALL the dust-type of contamination coming through the vac (the larger debris is caught in the large basket-type prefilter that you remove to empty). I have to clean the HEPA filter after just a few minutes of operation or the suction really decreases... very inconvenient! I have temporarily installed the original foam filter in front of the HEPA filter to see if that helps. Trouble is, they didn''t design it to work that way and there is really not very much room for the foam filter. I have not used it enough to know if this is going to solve the problem. If not, guess it''s time to try the Dyson DC16 hand vac and sell this one.

DirtTamer Ultima 14.4V...V2510 Model. While looking for a replacement filter after using our vac for 3 years, I was surprised to see the poor reviews. Perhaps they were not the Ultima model. This has been an excellent vac for quick vaccuuming of bathroom and kitchen floors and especially our carpeted stairs. Compared to our previous Black and Decker DustBuster hand-held vacs, this is a dream. I am able to run it for a good 10 minutes without losing power. I have not tried it on wet surfaces. When this one goes, I will definitely purchase another.

I''ve had two of the older V2210 model for at least six years, one in the house and one in the garage. I think both are still going on the original batteries. Unlike some cheaper rechargeable vacs, you can, and should, leave it on the powered charging base when the vac is not in use. Unlike those others, it will always be charged when you need to use it.

I find it more powerful than DustBuster and it stays powerful for several minutes.

Although the charging base can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, it is important to secure the base so it doesn''t slide when you dock the unit. If you try to dock it and the loose base slides away, the charging pads may not make good contact.

Read Best Reviews of DirtTamer® Ultima V2510 Cordless Wet/Dry Hand Vac Here

I have owned the Ultima v2510 for at least 4 years. I have consistently used it at least once a week during that period. It is a very powerful hand vac, MUCH more powerful than my previous B&D Dustbuster. It is a bit on the loud side, but that''s the price for good suction. About a year ago, I noticed that it began to die much more quickly than it used to. But I''ve solved this problem. Every few months, I let the unit completely discharge and then fully charge it again before use. This has given the unit new life, it is as powerful as ever. The batteries are NiCad and that is typical care for this type of battery--they must be occasionally fully discharged for longer useful life. There are replacement batteries available from Filterstream (go to their website, you''ll see), but you should be able to get several years out of the original batteries, as I have. If you think the battery is not charging, take a multimeter, set it to "VDC" and measure the voltage at the charger contacts. It should read 25V or so. If it is lower, then it may not be properly charging the battery. Anyway, I highly recommend this product, it is a portable hand vacuum that exceeds expectations and is fully worth the cost over its cheap competitors.

I''ve just ordered a second one to double the effect! I''m looking forward to receiving it tomorrow and installing for use this weekend!

I bought this one last year, two panels and it works great for North Dakota. However, one of the ends is leaking now so I have to find a good epoxy or something to repair it. I also had to "rig it" for the Intex Pump. I would recommend a solid panel.

While the item described is 3 panels that are 10ft x 2 ft what you actually get is 3 panels that are 10ft x 1ft for half the expected surface area. One of the hose fittings I received with this was broken too.

I too ordered this thinking it was going to be three pieces at 2'' by 10''. Never even opened the box and won''t. Going to return this as it''s half of what I thought it would be.

KRUPS KM9008 Cup on Request Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Maker Save 42% Off

KRUPS KM9008 Cup on Request Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Maker with removable build-in Stainless Steel Coffee Tank, BlackLength:: 1:15 Mins

I bought this machine because of the option to make smaller amounts of coffee instead of always having to make 12 cups. When I set it up at home, I started playing around with the functions and learned it has options to pre-program to my travel mug or my "Sunday morning" mug. All I do is press a button and it dispenses the exact amount!! It keeps my coffee hot, thanks to the stainless steel carafe. Really easy to use and program. Plus, it looks sleek on my countertop!

I got this to replace my old cuisenart coffee on demand maker. The coffee tastes WAY better made in this maker! I am a serious coffee drinker, use good quality coffee and I like it strong, usually use French roast. I like the stainless steel coffee chamber much better on this model over the mostly plastic chamber in the cuisenart, although its not a thermal container, the coffee doesn''t get that burnt taste if you leave it on for a couple of hours like the cuisenart maker did. Easy to clean and set up the coffee and it looks nice. I like makers with thermal carafes, but we don''t like messing with a carafe, so these kind of makers work for us best. My only compliaint so far, have only had it for a couple of weeks, but we use is every single morning and some afternoons, is that it is advertised as a "12 cup" maker. I use a big measuring cup to hold the water I put in the maker and it clearly shows that this maker only holds 8 cups of water. This is not enough for me to send it back as I am otherwise super happy with it, but I was disappointed by this as 8 cups only makes about 4 large mugs of coffee, not that much for "coffee-aholics" like my husband and I are!!

Here''s what I love about this machine:

1. I use organic coffee filters, regular coffee and I don''t have to feel guilty about throwing away pods.

2. I can manually adjust how much coffee it pours.

3. I can set it to make the coffee "strong" or regular.

4. The ability to make a pot of coffee, run the kids to school, get home and see that the coffee has been on for 12 minutes and it''s piping hot when I make a cup!

5. When I''m not using it for coffee, I use it to keep water hot for four hours. This way, I''m seconds away from a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate for the kids.

Here''s what I like about this machine:

1. The adjustable tray. Is it the most sturdy thing on the market? No. Does it hold a cup of coffee? Yes. Should it do more than that? I don''t think so. Does it look cheap? No. Does it feel cheap? Arguable.

2. Coffee tastes fresh brewed for about three hours. Never have I been able to keep a pot of coffee ON for three hours and not have it taste like an ashtray. Once you go beyond the three hour mark, it does start to "age", but it''s still in my opinion better than the alternative.

Here''s some thoughts on improving the next model:

1. Cone filter. It''s the standard for most Krups machines and I had a boatload of filters from my old machine that are now serving as paper hats for my daughter''s dolls.

2. The carafe itself. We had friends over and blew through the 12 cups. I needed to put on an oven mitt to pull the internal carafe out. Also, seems like the handle should have a little more oompfh to it.

3. The filter holder. When I remove it to discard the grounds, it drips. Now, if I''d just remember to pull the can over, no big deal. But inevitably, I forget, carry the holder to the trash can and then later wonder how drops of water got on the floor.

I had a Keuring, didn''t like it (coffee was too weak, cost of pods was a bit much given what I can get a bag of D&D for at Costco) and boxed it back up. The KM9008 is not a pod-type coffee maker and those certainly add the "I want it NOW" convenience. But, after trying out the Krups Cup on Request, the Keurig is being returned and I''m sticking with my Cup on Request.

I was perfectly happy with my current coffee maker, so I picked this up via Vine with the expectation I''d use it as a spare. After testing it for my review, though, I was so impressed with it that it''s now my every-day coffee maker, and the other one became the spare...

I washed all the parts, ran a cleaning brew according to the directions, and then got ready to give it a test. My "old" coffee maker uses cone filters, and this one uses basket filters, so I just trimmed a little off the top of the cone filter & then got it wet under the faucet, which allowed me to sort of ''mold'' it to fit, and it worked pretty well. I set the time, set the "strong" brew option, set the warming timer for 2 hours, and then started the brewing cycle. It took slightly longer than my old coffee maker, but 7-10 minutes is fast enough for me.

You set the one-touch "large" and "small" settings by just holding each button down until your mug is filled as high as you want, and then you release the button. After you set it, you just press the button one time & it fills your mug to the same level each time. I have my "large" setting set to fill the mug about an inch from the top, and the "small" setting to fill the mug halfway. If I want to use different mugs, or if I''m adding more coffee to a partially-filled mug, I just use the "manual" button. And you can reset the large & small settings any time you want.

The first thing I noticed about the coffee was that it was much hotter than my other coffee maker, and it was much cleaner less oil, and no bitterness at all. I had another mug about an hour later, and it was quite hot, too, but had no bitter/burned flavor, which was a nice surprise...

Some minor complaints: I''ll have to double-check the directions, but the display light is too bright & I don''t think it can be adjusted. And the display itself is pretty cheap looking I''d prefer something with more of a crisp display & more contrast, so it can be more easily read at angles. The Large/Manual/Small button group is a little off center on my machine; instead if being centered at the top/middle/bottom like it shows in the pictures, my labels are askew, as if the whole button assembly had been twisted a quarter inch to the left. But other than those very minor annoyances, I''m satisfied with the coffee maker, and hope it stands the test of time.

I had a Krups FMF514 thermal coffee maker that died after a number of years, and was looking for something better as a replacement. I stumbled across this Krups coffee maker, and decided to give it a try without a whole lot of information despite searching the web. I''d give it 3.5 stars if I could, but don''t think it deserves 4 stars, and thought I''d fill in some of the questions I couldn''t find the answers to when I was looking for a coffee maker.

First, by the initial reviews, this seems to be aimed at competition to the Keurig pod system coffee makers. I don''t know why this is so, but having tried some of the pod coffee makers in the past (not sure if Keurig), I''d guess you''d get better coffee cheaper from this machine, but you don''t have the convenience of the pod system I''m not sure I understand why you would want a pod system, but this essentially is no different in terms of preparation as any brewed coffee system.

I had two requirements from a machine: 1) brew strong coffee, and 2) keep it warm for a couple of hours for when I drink coffee throughout the day at home (on weekends). I was unpleasantly surprised to see that it used a basket filter rather than a cone filter (I think you can get stronger coffee with a cone filter), but after a week of experimentation I found that you could get a pretty strong pot if you pretty much fill the basket filter full for 10 cups (by Krups marking on the pot)of water. I use a little more coffee than previously, but overall ok. For the second, it does a pretty good job of keeping the coffee warm without burning it for about 1.5-2 hours. Past that, it will be burnt, but this is as good or better than I''ve had from prior coffee makers. Overall, performance is not bad, but for twice the price of my old machine, I''m not sure I would have made the purchase again.

A few minor things I wondered about and could not figure out from Krups very poorly done sales information:

1) It uses standard basket filters, ala Mr. Coffee machines.

2) You can pour a cup of coffee while it is brewing (you don''t have to wait until the brew cycle ends), but you won''t want to until the cycle is mostly completed.

3) You can stop the automated pouring by a quick jab of the "manual" poor button in case you hit the wrong thing and were going to make the cup overflow.

4) The brewing area and pot seem pretty well designed, proof against accidental water spills and such, but we''ll see in a couple of years how long it lasts.

SpectraPure® MaxCap RO/DI System

SpectraPure® MaxCap RO/DI System, 90gpd w/ Pressure Gauge & Purity MonitorI''ve now been using this RO system for 6 month to produce the basis of my aquarium water brew (50 gallons/week) and it''s great. Unlike two other systems I''ve used over the years, this one comes instrumented! With 5 separate measuring sensors, you not only know the quality of the input and output, but also know when it''s time to chance each of the 5 replaceable cartridges. Also, my brown algae problem has been solved with the included "Silica-Buster" cartridge of this model. The only negative is that the RO membrane flushing kit must be separately purchased and user installed.

This filter has revolutionized my reef maintenance. Having 4 sample points for water quality from the included TDS sensors is remarkable. Water production with 40-60PSI is sufficient for my weekly 50 gallon water changes and daily top off.

Simple install, the included tds meters are great, changing my filters for the first time this week, the clear cartridges make it easy to see when its time to change the filters. Had the unit installed for about four months now and would definitely recommend it to a friend.
