Buy Hydro Life G 2627 In Line Water Filter Kit for HL 180 Now
I travel the US in a motorhome. I got these filters so that I wouldn''t have to worry about my water supply. Never get diarrhea etc from water. Water tastes good and it''s clean.
This replaced an older version of the same that had what appeared to be a PVC-based filter holder and cheap plastic hoses. The new version of this is a much sleeker, stainless steel filter holder and stainless steel (at least on the outside) hoses. It also comes with one filter (which is what the picture on Amazon is of). The only thing it doesn''t come with is teflon tape, which is a dollar or two at any hardware store. Five stars for the higher quality kit, and reduced worries of leakage (our last one eventually burst a tiny hole in the PVC-based filter holder), and it appears we had some dripping from the cheap hoses.
Since we don''t usually need a full pot of coffee except on weekends -I typically just grab a Starbucks "Via" instant coffee on the way to work in the morning (a pretty remarkable innovation, by the way) -I was attracted to the hot water dispenser on this coffee maker. I like it particularly because of its 58-ounce capacity -meaning that you don''t have to keep refilling it if you''re just using it once each morning to fill a car mug. My wife prefers tea to coffee, and she loves being able to get a cup of really hot water whenever she likes. (We fill it with spring water, and the results are superb.) I haven''t had any problem with the "add water" light, as another reviewer apparently did. I was concerned about squandering energy by keeping a reservoir of water constantly hot, but it doesn''t. It keeps only about 13 ounces of water at serving temperature; the rest of the reservoir is unheated. It doesn''t take all that much energy to keep 13 ounces of water hot. And if you know you won''t be wanting hot water for a while, you can just turn it off with the on/off button. I had expected it to heat water instantly through some kind of coil system -much like an under-sink unit does -but not so. As a result, if the unit hasn''t been on, there''s about a 3-minute wait for the water to reach the right temperature. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the hot water dispenser were programmable in the way the coffee maker is, but it isn''t. You have to start it manually. (No you can''t use an outlet timer because the unit has an electronic on/off switch.) I also wish the hot water dispenser had a temperature adjustment (the coffee maker does); the water it dispenses is so hot that I have to wait for several minutes before I can drink any beverage I make with it. Finally, some Cuisinart coffee makers have a strength adjustment but this doesn''t. But these are minor quibbles; it''s still a great appliance. The coffee maker itself works as well as an automatic drip coffee maker can -always a function of trial-and-error at the beginning (what kind and how much coffee you use). It uses a cone filter (#4) -which in my humble opinion always delivers better coffee than the flat filters used in so many other coffee makers -including a lot of Cuisinart models -and the water is sprayed onto the coffee by a showerhead array in the reservoir lid. (Tip for review "Me2": Pour water into the coffee maker by putting the lip of the carafe on the rear LEFT corner and pour it in that way. It''s a lot easier and you won''t spill any.)

My last old Cuisinart bit the dust so I was in the market for a new one. I had also been in the market for a water kettle but really did not like the idea of having one more appliance on my counter top. When I checked out the Cuisinart web site to see what was new I was blown away by the idea of this coffee maker that also dispensed hot water!! I was so excited about it I had it sent overnight.Want Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Discount?
This is really a great unit. Coffee brews perfectly. As far as the water dispenser, mine works fine. It notices water levels etc. The only thing is that the water will start to smell bad (metallic) if it is left in the resevoir too long. I would say follow the instructions. It says to empty the water resevoir fully if you do not plan to run the water function for more than a week, or to store the unit. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the unit (who knew)... I drained it and refilled it, flushed a couple of times and the water is much better. No more metallic taste/smell... OK, Just an FYI...
I can''t write a very detailed review on the replacement filter except to say that it got here in one piece and works just fine. The Zen water filter is great though and you can''t beat it for the price. It''s so nice to have drinking water that doesn''t taste awful.

I was and still am deeply suspicious of these combo units, but this one has been a pleasant surprise. All of the basic functions work admirably and it does a wonderful job of frothing even low fat milk. The espresso maker is a little less forgiving of your tamping skills than other machines I''ve used, but when you get it right the crema is beautiful.
Buy Krups XP2070 Programmable 10-Cup Coffeemaker/15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine Now
I bought the XP 2070 with the hopes of having better coffee and the espresso option. Within one week of purchase (one round of capuccinos), I am unable to turn on the espresso maker. I called customer service, and they asked me to ship the machine back and wait a month-and-a-half because "the warehouse has closed," even though this is the newest model. Very reluctantly, they threw in a few free coffee filters in the deal. I wish I had read other Amazon customer posts, that indicate that not even the CEO responds to customer service complaints.Read Best Reviews of Krups XP2070 Programmable 10-Cup Coffeemaker/15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine Here

I must echo the comments in previous reviews. This is a fine machine at first -does the job and does it well -but the instructions were very complicated, the pot is poorly designed & you end up pouring just as much coffee on the counter as you do in your cup, and after 4 months of use, mine just stopped working. I really thought this $300 machine would be the last coffee maker I would have to purchase for awhile considering my $50.00 "Mr Coffee" machine worked for 5 years and is now being used as my "backup" while I try to get a resolution with Krups. (Thank goodness I decided to hold onto it!!)

We have had this unit for about a year and a half and have carefully replaced the filters four times. We initially loved the "easy snap in" change and all was well the 4 level filter seems to do a great job and we didn''t notice much restriction; each lasted about 5 months. This week''s replacement was different, though we woke up to a HUGE flood in our kitchen with a ton of damage. Came back here and saw a number of other people have had the same problem. I can''t quite see if it''s the main part or the filter, but it sounds like it might be a breakdown of the base (although we don''t see any cracks, but can see the leaks and drips all around the top part.) This should not be happening after only a year and a half.
I purchased the Blueair 650e Smokestop from Sylvane through Amazon and it arrive quickly. The air purifier works great and I simply put it on auto. The sensers in the unit occasionally turn the fan on high, but 95% or more of the time, it runs quietly on low or medium speed neither are very noisy. Even the high speed is not objectionable in the bedroom, since we know it will slow down in 10 or 15 minutes. I''d estimate the high speed noise as about the same as a window airconditioner running on high, but without the low frequency rumble of the airconditioner''s compressor. I''ve had asthma in the past and bought the Blueair purifier when I stopped taking Advair. I''ve had no issues since making the switch and feel better than ever.

We purchased the Blueair 650E for our home after extensive research. We read reviews on Amazon of many air purifiers. We looked at informational sites on the internet. We looked at manufacturer web sites, independent web sites, and educational web sites. We read Consumerʻs Reports. We researched all types of air purifiers at all price levels, learning about those designed for home use as well as commercial use (doctor offices/restaurants). While we are buying for a home, we wanted to understand the technologies used for the "bigger problems".Read Best Reviews of Blueair 650E GO SMOKESTOP Air Purifier Here

I got the Austin Air Healthmate Junior air purifier when I moved into my new house. The previous owner was a smoker. Although I''d replaced the carpets, painted the walls, and cleaned the ducts, I still needed something to help cut down the residual smoke smell. After extensive research, I chose the Healthmate Junior.

I have birds and I was looking for something that helped not only with cleaning the air, but with odors. I have to say, I used to love my Honeywell and was concerned after reading some of the reviews of the other Austin Air models, but I can honestly say I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY! It''s small and sits out of the way. On low it is not as noisey as the Honeywell was and it really gets the job done. I am very happy. The only drawback and why I hesitate on giving it 5 stars is because it pushes out cold air from the side vent, which wasn''t talked about in anyone''s reviews. It was quickly taken care of by putting a vent diverter, but for a few days I couldn''t figure out where the cold draft was coming from. And with birds, one needs to be careful with that. Well worth the money.Want Austin Air Jr. HealthMate Air Purifier HM200 Discount?
My husband and I have 5 idoor cats and we keep two large litterboxes in the living room. Our living room is fairly large and opens up to the kitchen with vaulted ceilings. The litter boxes are placed behind a long couch next to a wall, this way they are out of view while you are lounging in the living room. Even though I cleaned the boxes daily, the litter would still get funky rather quickly whith five cats using it, and when my husband and I would sit on the couch watching a movie we would catch whifs of the boxes every now and then. And forget about sitting on the long couch behind which the boxes where placed. Another problem with the litter was all the dust it produced. We always worried that if people came over they would smell the boxes and get grossed out, not to mention we didn''t exactly enjoy smelling it either. So I started my research on air purifiers. I finally settled on this one because it seemed to be the best value for the money, you only have to replace the filters every 3-5 years and it filters gas fumes (such as paint or ammonia). We bought this unit about 1 1/2 years ago and I have to give it 5 big stars! I put the unit next to the boxes and have run it at the low setting continuously since we bought it and the air has been wonderful to breathe ever since. I run it on high when I am cleaning or changing the boxes and this really helps with the dust. So About a month ago I started to smell that litter box funk so I became worried that the unit was no longer working, but when I checked the unit I realized that I had accidentially turned it off instead of on low... so I turned it on and within 10 minutes the air was nice again. I received the biggest compliment recently. An aquantance came over yesterday and after talking for a while in the living room she said, "you know, your house smells so clean. In fact, I would never even guess that you have ANY animals, let alone 5 indoor cats and a dog. What kind of litter do you use??" So I pointed out the Healthmate Junior and told her that was my secret weapon. It made me so happy to hear that that I just knew I had to come on Amazon and share my story. I highly, highly reccomend this product to people with indoor animals. The only bad thing is that it works so well that sometimes I slack on cleaning the boxes because I don''t smell them anymore and I don''t think about it as much.

I just bought this tonight at an army PX. When I took it out of the box, I read the directions (6-pages, people, including all the safety mombo-jumbo junk). I cleaned out the kettle like the directions said and plugged it in. As it was heating up, I went online to read when the product actually turns off automatically (since there is only a blurb in the user manual that states: "Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open."). In the time I came online to find this product, there was a "pop" from the kitchen that sounded like a muffled circuit break. When I went out to the kitchen, I found that the kettle did indeed automatically turn off. I turned it back on, and immediately the water boiled for about 10 seconds before it turned off again. I did not see any chemicals on top (like the one review says), and I did not smell any odor. I felt the need to write this review because I felt the others were unfair. Had the other reviewers that rated this poorly read the directions, they would have seen that you are supposed to clean it twice before its first use (which may have eliminated many of their complaints). Either way, I don''t care if you buy this product or not, since I have no stake in it, but felt obligated to write a review that seemed more fair.

Terrible odor makes the water undrinkable. They treated the inside with some chemical that even after frequent washing still does not come out. No, the odor is not from the water as I used the same faucet with the previous kettle I owned but replaced with this when the top broke off the other kettle. The problem is this Sunbeam. This company used to make decent products then went south and I have now been disappointed for the last time. I sent this back for full refund.Read Best Reviews of Sunbeam 1.7-Liter Electric Kettle (1500-Watt) Here

I also bought this kettle on sale at Target for $13. It lasted for about 4 months, and just broke today. The "automatic shutoff" was faulty and didn''t always shut off, and it had a strong plastic taste (and I''m honestly not that picky about the taste of water).
Per the manufacturers instructions, I use these filters in my Capresso MT500 but I dont like buying one box at a time at a speciality kitchen store, especially for a high price. These filters are authentic, competitively priced, shipped to my door for free, and arrive in excellent condition...no more wasting time and money chasing them down!
