SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler Save 31% Off

First off, this is NOT an air conditioner. If you expect your room to be freezing cold, this is not the product for you. It''s a COOLER, and it does its job very well. It works by evaporating water. Try soaking a T-shirt, wringing it out, and putting it on wet to get the effect. It doesn''t work very well in humid areas, but it works GREAT where the air is dry.

I''m in southern California, where the humidity varies pretty widely. I place the cooler six or eight feet from my chair, and on the hottest days I''m quite comfortable.

Benefits:

* it''s about 1/5 the cost of an air conditioner

* operating expense is a fraction of the cost of air conditioning

* neat features! (timer, sleep function, etc.)

* remote control

Drawbacks:

* it''s not freezing cold like air conditioning.

Low price, very effective in low humidity. Has a strong fan when not using the cooling feature. Timer works well. Has an oscillating feature, a "sleep" mode and, most importantly: a drain plug, washable filter element and a plastic body that cannot rust like those made of sheet metal or tin.

It''s been in the high 90s to the low 100''s here in the San Fernando Valley in CA with low humidity and it''s kept whatever room it is in cool enough to not have to turn on the AC.

It''s no air conditioner, but it''s a low in cost [to purchase and to run]alternative you could even say was an "eco-friendly" way to stay comfortable in the summer. But then, my friends had to talk me out of buying a wringer washing machine, so my opinion is based on my personal preference for simplicity and old fashioned ways of doing things.

Take my review as you will. It does what it says it will. If you have frequent high humidity, it won''t be effective and the company tells you that so be forewarned. I find it to be a great buy and it runs quietly as well.

This is a FABULOUS product. I based my purchase on the reviews of this item. I had a similar product a few years ago and it doesnt compare to this as well as the other one being almost double this price. The cooler came a day PRIOR to the estimated delivery date.WOW........I live in Acampo California which is north of Lodi CA and south of Sacramento CA. The degrees outside at 5:40 pm is 93 degrees, the temperature inside of the house is 84 degrees and my bedroom (which is where I have my cooler) is 72 degrees. I use a pitcher of ice water from my fridge to fill it up and ice cubes in the top tray. For those of you that are young or have not had the experience of a "swamp cooler", they tend to have a musty smell to them. I solved this problem by purchasing a Glade Car oil fragrencer(?). It is intended to clip on the vents of your heating/air conditioning unit. I clip mine on the bottem lever of the cooler on the lowest setting and it gives off a slight fragrance with no musty smell whatsoever. My hats off to the seller, Amazon for carrying the product and the reviews that allowed me to purchase the best product out there. Happy Happy Happy!!!!

After reading conflicting reviews I was thoroughly confused, yet I was so desperately hot I took a chance on this product. Here is the true skinny on this portable cooling unit.

I live in Colorado. The humidity has ranged from 30 to 88%, the temperature 84-93 degrees. I filled the unit with 2 gallons of cold water from the frig and 2 trays of ice cubes. It absolutely blew cool air, even after the ice melted and the water reached room temperature it still blew cool air. Don''t bother checking a thermometer it DOES NOT cool an entire room, no matter how small, it cools the AREA you point it at.

If you sit at the computer or any other stationary position, place the unit within 7 feet, and point it in your direction you will be cooled.

As for the humidity, this is a problem only in a room with no air circulation.

I pointed the unit at my bed and was quite comfortable, even chilly. However, in this room I have only a small table fan and the windows are closed, so within 45 minutes I was suffocating from the humid air.

In the living room where I have 2 ceiling fans and 2 box fans-one in front of the half opened door, either turned to blow air in or flipped to pull air outI have had NO issues with humidity, even at 88%.

It beeps to let you know when the water level is low. It is easy to put handfuls of ice cubes in the tank but I found it really wasnt necessary. Pouring in the water is easy as well, but if you dont hold the little door open it will sometimes close leaving you pouring water onto your floor! I havent had to clean it yet, but the filter is easily accessible. It''s no louder than a box fan and wheels around smoothly. I wish the unit were a bit taller and the blower area a bit larger but these are my only negatives.

Overall, I got what I wanted. I no longer sit at my desk with wet rags on my head, miserable and hot. I dont have to stick something in my window, or spend hundreds for central AC. If you want a cool room, look for something else. If you want to be cool in a stationary location, and you have good air circulation this will work for you.

Want SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler Discount?

We live in the heart of the desert in Nevada, and bought this as a way to cool individual rooms in the house vs. letting the central air cool the whole house. Why bother cooling the whole house when the family is together in one room for long periods of time?

We have a thermometer and hydrometer in the primary room we use it in. The room is about 400 sq ft. and we run it for hours. For coolness, it only gives us a 1-degree temp difference; sometimes 2-degrees with ice cold water, and ice cubes in both the main water chamber and top of unit.

The big difference we notice is with the humidity. We run about 20% humidity in the room normally. With this unit, it increases to 35-40% humidity. This helps with the dryness and with our allergies/asthma.

Overall, we use it more as a humidifier, but it does help us to increase the thermostat a few degrees at night when we run it in the bedroom, which saves a little on energy costs.

I picked these out and just got them out of the box. The memory foam insoles are VERY comfortable. It feels strange at first walking on them, but after that initial step, my foot fell in love. These are pretty great. I can wear them inside or outside and still feel like I''m walking on a pillow. I also like that they don''t have a furry inside so I can wear them in any season.

My one complaint is that they don''t run in half sizes. I''m a 9 in normal shoes and these feel kind of loose, so i would have gotten a half size smaller, but an 8 is definitely too small. It''s ok though. This is designed as a slipper first and a shoe second, but I''m going to wear it as both anyway.

I would like to point out that I am a 26 year old male, I''m not in a nursing home, and I don''t mind wearing these in public. My fiancee even agrees that these are actually pretty stylish and comparable to some more popular name brand moccasins out there.

Slippers looked good and fit well. My only problem was a tag attacked to the inside of the slipper between the arch and the heel. The tag constantly rubbed the bottom of my foot making the slipper uncomfortable to wear. The tag was so securely attached that it was extremely difficult to remove. I did finally remove the tag which left a small tare in the liner.

These slippers were a gift for my boyfriend, who absolutely loves them. The hard sole allows him to wear them outside, and the memory foam makes them very comfortable.

Slippers seem nice and very well made.....they wear better and look better than my LL Bean slippers (I love LL Bean but their slippers never seem to last). I thought LB Evans was a take off on LL Bean but instead...seems like a high end brand (they are sold at Nordstroms). Highly recommend

My original post is above......but now its just a few months later and the inside is falling apart....now i''m sad (and need new slippers). ugh...

I bought these for my dad who is in a nursing home. Not only are they extremely comfortable (he has problems with his feet), but they are of excellent quality and the soles are great can be worn outside and are not slippery at all on all types of floors. He can easily slip them on and off of his feet. I''m buying another pair for my spouse.

Cuisinart PRC-12 Classic 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Percolator Save 54% Off

I do not understand what has happened in the coffee maker industry. It seems as if every coffee appliance I buy fails. This one is no exception. I bought this one only because most of the reviews praised it. Now I am sure that the reviews are phony and must be posted by the manufacturer. There is no control over the time of percolation which for whatever reason has been designed to be too short. The coffee comes out weak especially if you try to make less than 12 cups, the water just doesn''t make it through the strainer for less cups??? The manual suggests using 20 spoons for 12 cups of strong coffee. At this rate I will essentially be using double the coffee grinds to make the same amount of coffee as I did with a much older Faberware I had and the coffee is still weak. The new faberwares are just as bad as everything else manufactured these days. The reviews and the item description also touts that this coffee percolator has a glass knob. This is an outright lie, it is plastic!!!! I was initially pleased with the design although I feel it is made with a lighter guage metal than it should be. I would gladly pay double for this product if it worked. Don''t buy it, it is another coffee maker dud!!!!!

Here''s my take on the whole coffee thing. If you are a coffee guru, then you are going to go through all the trouble it seems to take to make the perfect cup, and this review is a mute point, or you are going to go to Starbucks and pay for the perfect cup. Most people who make coffee at home and in the morning (time permitting) are like me.

Here''s my ideal coffee scenario:

I believe that buying my favorite high quality whole beans (Kenya AA), grinding them myself (coarsely, so they don''t fall through the metal filter), and using the method I believe is best (the nostalgic percolator), is the perfect way to brew. It''s my own preference: 1/3 nostalgia, 1/3 good beans, 1/3 convenience. They say that percolating coffee is burning beans. I and many other would disagree. I wake up grind my beans fill them and some cold tap water into the percolator. I wait 10 minutes while listening to that wonderful sound and smelling that great aroma!!! PERFECT!

For the GURUS, this may seem like heresy, but for me its the best of all worlds.

This model has, so far been great, 4 stars. The "glass knob" is plastic, whatever! Liars!. I''ve been brewing at the 6 cup line (water and beans) for 5 months at 4 to 5 times a week. Still hot and still consistent. It brews the same every time. This consistency over time is what I think will make or break this product. If it cools down a bit I will clean it. If it gets worse then I will be less than satisfied. If it fails before five years then I will be less than satisfied. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to make MY AMOUNT of coffee and how black I like it. I cannot set the heat or the brew time (it''s all automatic), but the coffee comes out very hot (not burned) and very dark. The only thing I can control is the amount of both water and coffee. I have learned what amounts I like. Other times may vary because of the amount of water and coffee used.

Don''t go by what the instructions say go by what is best for you. The amount of coffee you get and the amount it says is one cup WILL BE DIFFERENT. Who cares. Make it the way you like it. This will take time to learn, but it will be best in the end. Every brand percolator is different, to bad you can''t have a trial test before buying.

So far so good...

UPDATE...............UPDATE...................UPDATE 7/12/2010

Sometimes I like to go back and read my old reviews. To get a sense of things, and see to see if I still feel the same way about the purchases I''ve made. Or if the purchase turned out to be a lemon. Or just add something I missed or found new and interesting. Or edit a mistake. Whatever.

A lot of people are giving this perco. a low rating. By the way, mine still works perfectly fine after 2+ years. Still **** (Stupid plastic knob!).

You are cleaning it after every use, aren''t you? If you don''t like cleaning it, it will eventually go bad sooner than you think. So go back to a plastic drip machine if 100% convenience is what you want.

You are unplugging it after all of the coffee has been poured, aren''t you? If you don''t it will probably mess up the heating element. That''s my guess.

I''ve noticed that when I first started using it, I would miss-align the spout tube with the heating dome located on the base. I''ve done this occasionally. All I got was hot, brown water. So make sure you align the spout tube properly.

I''m starting to not like the curved black base. Because, when I fill it up with water from the tap I sometimes bang it on the sink. It feels like I''m gonna knock it off if I''m not careful.

It still brews fine, maybe a little cooler then at first; but its still H. O. T. HOT.

I''ve noticed that darker brews (french roasts) give the best results, although bean-quality is probably more important than roast.

KEEP IT CLEAN BY WIPING IT OUT AFTER EVERY USE USING DRY PAPER TOWELS!!! IT WILL LAST FOREVER.

That''s it.....

I had written a glowing review for the PRC-12 Percolator because it produced a great cup of coffee and heavenly aroma. Now, months later, this product resides in a local landfill and I won''t buy another Cusinart product ever again.

It made great coffee right up to the day I found coffee all over the counter. The leak was tracked to the plastic bulb which broke off when I gave it a gentle twist. I contacted Cusinart Customer Service, emailed a copy of my Amazon receipt and was told they would be happy to provide a replacement lid w/bulb as soon as I could give them the serial number which I was told is on a sticker underneath the pot. Naturally, on my unit, the serial number sticker was missing. What was worse, when looking for the serial number, I found that the base had cracked and warped from the heat of brewing coffee. One more call to Cusinart Customer Service and they once again told me they would be happy to provide a replacement as soon as I provided the serial number which in this case was non-existant. Without that precious serial number Cusinart wouldn''t lift a finger to help. The Amazon receipt was a worthless piece of paper when it came to dealing with Cusinart.

Due to poor Customer service at Custinart, I''ve decided to continue to buy from Amazon but I will no longer buy any Cusinart products.

I bought this to replace my ancient aluminum stovetop percolator, which did make great tasting coffee but the aluminum/alzeimer concerns worried me, plus the thing was stained and almost burnt through from heavy use. Anyway, I did a fair amount of research and this Cuisinart seemed like the best electric percolator available. I thought an electric would be easier to clean (they aren''t). The main point I didn''t consider is that you can''t control the percolating time on these things. That''s pretty much the whole point of percolating coffee; If you want stronger coffee you want to be able to percolate it for a longer time. An electric percolator shuts off automatically after it''s short pre-timed brewing cycle. I tried a variety of beans and ground settings (and added more coffee to the basket to compensate), but it was still weak. The end result here is watery coffee, just slightly better then what you get from a drip machine. What''s the point? I will admit that this percolator is well designed, pours nicely, has a heavy gauge basket and keeps the coffee very hot. That classic percolated taste just isn''t there. If you love the rich taste of percolated coffee like I do (it''s the best!), you really need a stove top model. I''m getting a Bialetti!

Reliable EV1 Enviromate Tandem Steam Cleaner and Vacuum Save $0.99 Off

I just purchased the Enviromate TANDEM EV1 and will be doing a full review on this product. Hopefully it will remain a 5 star when I''m done. I purchased this in hopes it will cut hours of cleaning time down and actually do a better job than other vapor cleaning machines on the market. This one has an extractor which was the selling point for me. You can control the steam vapor for more delicate surfaces like wall to wall vs tile etc. I love the idea of cleaning with steam vapor but don''t like the fact you need to vacuum later to remove your dirt. This is an all in one machine! It will take a while for my review. I ordered this product from Canada directly because the additional tool I wanted which was the Turbo Brush Tool was not available on Amazon. I am really looking forward to using this product!

Sept 29,2012 I have had a chance to use the Tandem EV1 and I am very happy with this machine. It does everything it says it does and is built solid. Easy to use. There are many attachments with it. I used it on my wall to wall which takes a while but the end result is beautiful. Tile cleans up perfectly and it saved me tons of time and my back! The boiler beeps when you need to add water so you don''t have to worry about overheating. The machine won''t produce steam if water level is low so it''s designed for safety. The hose isn''t cool to touch but not hot either. It''s similar to my Jiffy Clothes Steamers hose. I can''t say enough about the quality. The parts all fit correctly and have locks to keep them in place. It seems like it will last a long time. I tried it on glass mirrors, tile and carpeting so far. I''ll detail the car with ease as well now too. I will also use it in the garage on the concrete floor later instead of bleach mopping. The steam can be used with different attachments to break down spills in your garage but use a mop to clean up solvents, oil and gas. Solvents in your machine would ruin it. I love the turbo brush tool that I payed extra for. It speeds up cleaning wall to wall in some areas. It also comes with a nice accessory bag. Customer service is excellent too. SMALL SLEEK LITTLE MACHINE! Oh Yes...one more thing. I didn''t use 1 cleaner and my things look better than ever. Amazing! That will save a ton.

10/03/12 Used on indents in carpet from previous furniture and their gone. I tried on a puppy pee accident. Blotted and pre treated with Natures Miracle while setting up machine. I used the Tandem for 10 minutes on and off then finished with Jiffy fabric freshener and repeated with the Tandem. Smells fresh now. I''ll check it tomorrow. Puppy urine is tough to get out no matter what so I won''t be suprised if my dog still smells it. While steam cleaning wall to wall position the tank by hand. Pulling on the hose line causes it to pull out of it''s socket. No harm done...no steam shooting out anywhere so it was fine. The wheels are very nice and work on smooth surfaces great. Might be helpful to put a locking switch on that part too but it isn''t a big deal. Play with the tools and find your favorite one. There are quite a number of them. The smaller tools give you more suction power so tight corners come clean easy. You can freshen up mattresses with this too. If you happen to have an unfortunate infestation I''m sure this will take care of it. It would definitely boil a flea, bedbug or a louse on the move. YUCK! Hopefully the price will come down so everyone can afford one easily though! It was like purchasing three or four steam cleaners at once. I have gone through six in 18 years so I have spent a ton in products due to kids and pets.

Tips: Let the vapor sit for a little bit before extracting. It cleans much better that way. Great on Oriental rugs. My choice for attachments for stairs and scatter rugs has to be part #30. It''s edge is flexable and did a quicker job on the stairs. It''s small so it also increases the extraction quite a bit. For spots I found leaving the vacuume on while steaming worked fast.

This was the first steam cleaner machine I have ever purchased. I have used an upright cleaning machine with rotating cleaning heads for years and wanted to try a new approach to cleaning carpet and upholstery using only steam. When I first opened the box I was amazed at how many attachments there were and the handy bag they all fit into.

The machine is a very well built. It generates steam in only a few minutes. The suction power of the vacuum seems very adequate to pull up the water. This makes for a very short drying time. Cleaning the machine after use is also simple. The design allows for a very thorough wipe down to keep the machine in top working order.

The numerous upholstery attachments is where this machine really excels. I cleaned two swivel rockers that had numerous inset buttons on the back of the chairs. The alternate attachments made even these hard to reach areas come out looking great.

In cleaning larger areas like carpets, the machine seems to lack in keeping up with adequate steam. But if you slow your cleaning strokes down it does a pretty decent job. Using my old upright cleaning machine always left more water in the carpet than I liked. This will never be a problem with this machine. I was amazed at how much carpet area I could clean with so very little water.

It would be helpful if the owner''s operating manual would include cleaning hints or techniques to get the most out of this machine with the varies types of cleaning surfaces it can tackle.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this machine. The quality of the vacuum/boiler and attachments are well made and in comparison to the price of other steam cleaners is worth considering this machine at its price.

20" Big Blue Filter Housing (Blue/Black)

Needed 3 Big Blue''s for well pump water in series w/o the pressure relief button, these were perfect and really priced right.

1" PVC SCH-40 MPT to join them with Teflon paste (not tape) spaced 3" apart, mounted on 1x8 rack 48" high with 5/16 NC bolts and flat washers (not wood lags).

My outlet has T fitting (not just ell up) with 3/4" PVC "blow-off" threaded ball valve aimed down.

This works amazing for couple reasons:

1 little red relief buttons spray water everywhere, take forever and eventually sometimes leak, I hate them.

2 crack the blow-off for instant pressure relief into a 5 gal bucket or 32 gal garbage can. This is the ONLY way to blow-off the carbon block finish filter in the customers home, no explaining why all the faucets are running out a LOT of black water. (Looks like your changing oil on a diesel bulldozer in the customers bathtub, embarassing!)

Triple progessive setup, all 1" main header (5 bed, 3 bath):

First Sediment filter 4.5x20" 50-25-10-5 micron (quad layer gradient poly)

Middle Fine filter 4.5x20" 25-10-5-1 micron (quad layer gradient poly)

Final Charcoal filter 4.5x20" 10 micron (carbon block, to brighten up water, not user for sediment filtration)

Full flow, total pressure drop < 1 psi @ 65 psi, can''t tell the filter from bypass.

If you are installing just one, consider using sediment filter 4.5x20" 50-25-10-5 micron (quad layer gradient poly)

Comes with O-ring gasket (no wrench, buy one separate), perfect 1st time zero leaks, perfect for pro plumbers!

These are knock-offs of the original Pentek units. No problem with that, I knew this before purchasing. The housings also do not have pressure relief valves. Again, I knew this prior to purchase, so no problem here either. Obviously, the pricing was very attractive on these units. I was disappointed that there was not even one housing wrench within the three housings that I purchased. The housings look good. Have not installed them yet. I''ll be doing three in series, one particulate and two carbon block filters. These will be replacing a full size loose granulated carbon (GAC) floor standing cylinder, used for Radon abatement. The shipping was fast and I had some contact with the seller prior to purchase (email) and the replies were timely and helpful. I have not contacted them about the wrench (which the listing did not imply was included). Perhaps I will after writing this.

Nano Energy Cup Portable Water Alkaline pH Enhancer Save 84% Off

Part of this is my fault because I have not had time to contact the seller as they close before I am home at night.

I cannot get this thing to work. The directions are hard to read, but I followed them to the best of my ability.

There is a strainer thing in it that makes no sense at all. I put it inside the way it appears to belong, and it gets stuck halfway down. I turn it upside down, and it doesn''t get stuck, but it stays halfway down the container.

I have tried multiple times to get this thing to work, but the pH does not change or only changes .1. I am wondering if maybe my product is defective. I don''t use it.

Also, it is very small. It doesn''t hold much water or I would use it as a water bottle to at least get my money''s worth out of it.

The box it comes in is overkill--ditch the box and lower the price.

In a reference to the comment of "luvmygirls": OMG Dear! This thing You call a "strainer" makes the whole sense of everything. It only goes to the middle of the cup. It''s not a filter, it holds the minerals. They do all the job and alkalize the water. The Ph changes by 1-2 points, but that''s what You need.(it should be somewhere between 6.5-7) Remember, the changes wont come overnight, especially if Your body has toxins. And what do you think,You''ll feel high? No, You''ll increase Your overall well-being, by not getting sick,etc. Just stay away from soda!!! Soda makes Your body full of acid.

The water in the cup is more neutral than alkaline. I also would have preferred it a bit larger. The strap on the cover broke off within a week. Although the price was right, I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better product.

Kenmore Puresource2 Water Filter FC100

• If unsure, please ask the seller if it fits your model

your "change filter" light on the fridge will stay on with these filters. the original filters that came with the fridge have are clear so you can see the charcoal filter. these are solid plastic and you can not see the charcoal in the filter, so the sensor will read that it needs to changed. even though the filter numbers are the same they are not. it will fit but you will have to live with the light going off.

BISSELL Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner Save 1% Off

in a nutshell:

* Light-weight, easy to move about the house

* Just add hot water and 2-ounces of the included cleaner

* Really gets the carpet clean -works as good as the large grocery-store rental units

There are only two minor things I''d add to this product if I could:

* Wheels (though it is not too heavy, wheels would allow you to tackle a bigger stain faster)

* A retractable power cord. However, the cord is long, which is very convenient.

This is the perfect product for pet owners, parents -and clumsy people like myself. :-)

It would also be ideal for restaurants and stores with carpets for fast clean-ups.

If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments section. Hope this review has helped.

(TOP 10 REVIEWER) Length:: 4:55 Mins

The Bissell Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner is a compact sized little machine that is easily transportable and reasonably easy to use. I''m not convinced it''s the best choice for cleaning carpet and upholstery at this price point however. It gets high marks for portability but it''s cleaning prowess leaves something to be desired and it is only intended for small clean-ups but certainly not for cleaning an entire room. It is truly a spot cleaner.

The unit itself is roughly the size of a basketball I suppose. The power cord is generous in length while the actual hose is just about right in length although I did think a bit more length might have been desirable... just a bit more.

Essentially there are two reservoirs, one for holding the cleaning solution, the other for holding the dirty water. Bissell provides two cleaning attachments, one is wider and intended for stairs, the other is small and intended for small stains. Also provided is a small bottle of cleaning solution. You fill, or partially fill the clean water tank with hot tap water and then add a small amount of cleaning solution to it. The cleaning solution is run through a small tube inside the hose to a nozzle at the end of the hose. A button on the handle of the hose releases the cleaning solution onto the area that you need to clean. Using either one of the provided cleaning tools, you gently brush the area to be cleaned and then use the suction of the machine to suck the dirt out of the rug or upholstery.

The suction seemed adequate and after moving the tool over the wetted area numerous time, until no more water is seen entering the hose, the cleaned area is damp to the touch, but not soaking wet.

I had mixed results using this machine on several different stains. In most cases it was possible to still see a faint remnant of stain but it was certainly a lot better than if left uncleaned. In some cases the stain or dirt was completely removed with no trace whatsoever.

The machine was somewhat noisy but it has to be somewhat noisy given its purpose. It did seem to provide adequate suction to remove the cleaning solution from the area being cleaned. I also felt that it held an adequate amount of cleaning solution given that this is intended as a spot cleaner.

Clean up of the machine is not quite as easy as you might think. Emptying the dirty water tank is easy enough but a surprising amount of carpet fibers and gunk remains in the hose and cleaning tool after use. I gave up trying to completely clean the hose and cleaning tool as it just was too difficult. I guess it doesn''t have to be cleaned to a state of pristine, but if you''re put off by gunk, just be forewarned that you''ll have your work cut out for you to keep the hose and cleaning tools sparkling clean after using it.

There are other carpet/upholstery cleaning machines made by other companies, for instance this Hoover machine: Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900 that are operated more like a stand-up vacum cleaner that might be easier to use for some people since they don''t require stooping down to use. And the cost is just a small amount more for that type of machine.

This Bissell Spot Clean Pro is more effective on some clean-ups and less effective on others, depending on the stain. It is certainly compact and easily moved around. Clean up can be a bit of a chore.

If you''re looking for a small sized machine for occasional, small clean-up jobs, this will probably work for you. If you think you want to clean large areas or entire rooms, this is definitely not what you want. I think it''s OK if a bit on the pricey side.

I live with a 13-year-old incontinent shih-tzu and my 91-year-old father, so when I was offered a Bissell Spot Clean Pro Deep Cleaner I jumped at the chance. With white carpet and my two aforementioned roommates, a carpet cleaner was definitely in order. This little Bissell is a godsend. It is easy to maneuver, fairly light yet sturdy, and it cleans like nobody''s business.

I had another spot cleaner that worked okay, but nothing like this Bissell. It was a cordless model that only lasted about 5 minutes before it needed recharging. This model runs on electricity so that is not an issue. I am able to clean all the nasty spots in our house in one fell swoop. No more constant recharging and no more refilling tiny receptacles. This is a substantial feeling unit that feels more expensive than it is. I am extremely happy with this spot cleaner. My old cleaner is going to the Goodwill and this new one is my go-to spot remover. 5 stars!

I have a large upright carpet cleaner that does a good job of cleaning carpets, but it''s a chore to get it out, get it set up, and to get it cleaned afterwards. And while it has attachments for upholstery and spot cleaning, it doesn''t do quite as good of a job as on carpets. So, I thought that a portable spot cleaner might be what I''m looking for these types of chores, and decided to give this cleaner, the BISSELL Spot Clean Pro Portable Deep Cleaner a try. Below are my pro''s and con''s for this deep cleaner.

Pros:

Ergonomics! I was very impressed at how well it all fit together. From the hose "reel" to the unit''s space-saving size to the twist-out way you secure the power cord, it all fits together well. I even like how it looks ... like a small robot. :-)

Water/cleaning fluid capacity. You can handle a large job without having to run back and refill. The flip side of this is that the unit can get heavy when fully loaded, but you don''t have to fill the water tank up all the way if you don''t want to.

It did a good job on most stains, and did a better job on upholstery than my larger unit.

It comes with two cleaning heads ... a wider one and a narrower one, so you can choose the one that better fits your job.

The power cord is very long, helpful for jobs like moving around the room to clean several chairs without having to unplug/replug.

The suction (to pull water into the waste tank) is good.

Cons:

It''s noisy when you''re sitting next to it. It probably has to be in order to generate sufficient suction, but consider ear-plugs if you''re sensitive to louder noises.

My larger carpet cleaner does a better job on toughest stains on the carpet. Some of this is a function of how much elbow grease you''re willing to expend with the Bissell, but the powered brushes on the big units will do a better job with less effort. And if you have something really icky/sticky on your furniture or carpeted stairs, consider pre-treating for better results.

Other impressions that aren''t a pro or a con:

Although the hose length is adequate, another three feet or so would have been nice.

It was easier to set up and easier to clean than my large carpet cleaner, but not by as much as I was hoping. It is considerably easier to move around and to store, though.

You do get your money''s worth here, but if you don''t already have a carpet cleaner, I''d recommend you spend just a little more money and get a large upright carpet cleaner, as this unit wasn''t designed to clean entire carpets. It could, but it would take you a lot longer.

Overall, this is a great unit. It did a very good job on my chairs and couches, and on several recent stains on my carpet, including some chocolate ice cream dropped by my five year old while I was first using this cleaner. (I don''t know how a girl so graceful can also occasionally be so clumsy!) It won''t replace your upright cleaner, but that''s not its goal. Five stars.

The Bissell Spot Clean Pro is a compact, solidly built little powerhouse for your small and quick carpet cleaning jobs. It comes out of the box ready to use. Just fill up your reservoir , plug in your unit and you are ready for some seriously deep cleaning. **note: This product is not intended for large areas so look elsewhere if you are wanting to do all your carpets and rugs. For small cleanup jobs however, the Spot Clean Pro excels.

The entire unit seems well constructed. If you plan on using this a lot, make sure to purchase some extra cleaning fluid as you aren''t given much in the starter bottle. The sprayer works well and the cleaning brush scrubs away at a high rate of speed. Changing out the fluid is a bit awkward and I spilled just a bit the first time until I got used to it. No biggie. Also, the electric cord is not all that long at 22 inches so an extension cord for more length might be in order depending on where you plan to use this.

The specific need I have for this machine is due to my father''s hobby which involves working on cars in the garage. At his age (82) he no longer remembers to wipe his feet or avoid steeping in grease and as a result there are numerous small ''accidents'' that I ever must deal with or live with black grease and oil spots on our otherwise pristine carpets. I can''t get him to be any more careful and that''s where this machine comes in VERY handy!

If I catch them quickly enough, I have been able to get up numerous oil and grease stains with a minimal amount of effort. What more could I ask for!

This machine is also very adept at cleaning the inside of your car. (not to mention stairs) My only real complain is the NOISE it makes, but almost everything bothers me in that regard and I just put in a pair of earplugs or my earbuds and rock out while cleaning.

For small jobs that require something that is both portable and fits into small spaces, the Spot Clean Pro really cleans up!

RPS #DFK Waterbed Drain/Fill Kit

Problem: waterbed needed draining. Would have simply siphoned it out the window, except that the window was on the 15th floor. Bad idea. Right-priced kit delivered promptly. Good idea. Problem solved.

I should probably disclose up front that I bought this to create a siphon for my aquarium. Those "Phython" brand siphons are ridiculously priced when one of these and some clear tubing from a local hardware store makes the same thing for 1/4 the price.

That said, this functions well as a siphon with one caveat! The plastic of which it is composed is very soft. It took only a few runs of screwing it on, siphoning/filling up and unscrewing it before the threads were stripped and started leaking something fierce. It''s better to add this to a more durable connection and seal this one up with something like plumber''s tape or pipe dope or adhesive. The plastic is just too soft for the repeated on/off that you would use this for.

Waterbeds aren''t as common as they once were, so this item is almost impossible to find in stores. I was thrilled to find it online and to have it delivered so promptly at such a reasonable price. Truth be told, we don''t have a waterbed, but this is the perfect assembly for draining and filling the large aquarium our turle lives in. Pet stores in the area sell the valve we needed from this system, but not individually....you have to buy the whole filter system.

RPS #DFK Waterbed Drain/Fill Kit ... This item worked exactly as we needed. It did take a few tries to get it working ... but just don''t give up ... keep trying ... once we got it going ... it worked perfectly. We drained a King Size Waterbed that was in the basement. We drained it up and out the window to the yard. It took a couple hours or so (maybe even 3) ... but that was to be expected. I would recommend this to anyone.

Watts 500032 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis System Save 22% Off

• Reduces chlorine taste and odor, Arsenic, Lead, Perchlorate, Cysts, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Entamoeba and more
• High quality lead free faucet
• 5 Stages of Filtration
• NSF Certified
• Meets all plumbing codes

Those of us who live in areas with hard water or iffy public water systems are generally aware of the benefits of filtration. A reverse osmosis system can do a good job of removing sediments, many toxic chemicals and a reasonable assortment of creepy-crawlies. Over the last several years, prices have come down sufficiently that these systems are moving into more homes than ever. If you''ve got room under the sink (and such a system takes a good chunk of room) it''s worth considering. Installation in a reasonably new plumbing system is generally simple. If you''re naturally the home handy-person, you won''t have too much trouble. Older systems might pose a little more challenge, but the kit comes with a fair assortment of adapters and such. I have to add here that the kit shorted me a few small parts that I had to find at the local hardware store. A little better QC on the kit-packing phase would have been appreciated. This is the reason for four stars instead of five. The important thing about installation is to know your skill level. If you think you can do it, you probably can. If you''re not sure, the best choice might be to call the plumber.

I purchased this system to replace an older R.O. system which could no longer be serviced. In such a case, there are already holes drilled and positions chosen. They don''t always match the ideal layout for this system. But I found ways to integrate old and new and had the basic installation done in about 3 hours of work. It then takes a full day to charge and flush the system. The final water flow is strong and copious and the water carries no taste--a far cry from the calcium and sediment-laden water that went in.

Anxiously purchasing this time and could not wait for great tasting water. The water lines leaked terribly. Went to local hardware store hoping for a fix. Still had problems. No enough connectors in bag. Water line not long enough. Drain hose trickles water into drain and is quite noisy. Would not purchase if I had a second chance.

Pretty good reverse osmosis system. Easy setup, just follow the colored tubes. No leaks after setup. Just make sure you use teflon tape for the parts required only (instructions will tell you where) After 2 full tank flushes, water tester read 23-25ppm. My other RO system (different brand) in other house reads 15''ish ppm, but thats had its filter changed a few months ago. Hopefully after more usage or another flush, it''ll go down a little more.

One complaint i had with this RO system was that the included faucet is pretty annoying as the air gap goes through it. So whenever the RO system is working, it''ll make a whirring/ whining noise and i could hear the water going through. So i just went to home depot and bought a T adapter, by passed that and went straight into the drain and used the air gap for the disoposal /dishwasher. So one star off for that.

Other than that, water tastes like drinking water.

This RO system is of top quality. I replaced my older unit, with this one, and am very satisfied. I had a small issue when installing. I contacted support, and they got back to me right away. It is very easy to install. The RO system that I replaced cost 3 times as much as the Watts, and was of less quality. I highly recommended this RO system.

A very high quality unit. Robust construction, all the hardware and plumbing pieces you could possibly need.The instructions are easy to follow and complete.I tested my water before installing the unit at 192ppm of dissolved solids and again after a few days usage it was 9ppm and taste marvelous.

PUR Faucet Mount Classic Clear Filter Replacement

Have been very happy with my Pur faucet mount system for a few years now. Great tasting tap water, and easy to use. Previously I bought these filters in bulk, but have cut back to buying 1 or 2 at a time. Normally I have no problem ordering via Amazon from 3rd party sellers, but sorry to say, this experience has been horrid. Arrived damaged, yet to return it I was required to pay return postage. When I refused, BDD didn''t even offer a refund and wrote nonsense on my review of their "store".

easy to attach to faucet, water is clear and tastes good. very good product worth the money will recommend to others

DuPont WFQT130005 QuickTwist Single-Stage Drinking Water Filtration System Save 34% Off

• Includes 3000 Series Carbon Block Filter
• Filters Up To 2,000-Gallon For Long Undersink Water Filter Life
• QuickTwist Filter Replacement with Auto Shut-Off
• 3-Year Limited Warranty
• Installation is Easy, Cartridge Changes Made Simple and Spill-Free

I picked one of these up locally and installed it to reduce contaminants and a funny smell from our well water. It made the water taste better and neutralized the smell well.

The package included everything I needed (well, besides the ancient fittings in my house I broke trying to re-route the line) and the faucet is a very handy addition.

I found that the filters that go at the end of your existing faucet (i.e.: PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B) would just get in the way and eventually just get bumped off and break after a while. The separate faucet will swing out of the way if you really need it to, but is really non-cumbersome by design.

Installed mine probably something like 9 months ago and I''m just now getting to replacing the filter for the first time.

In looking for a filtration system, I would not purchase a product by the very company that is a leader in poisoning our water supplies in the first place.

Read Best Reviews of DuPont WFQT130005 QuickTwist Single-Stage Drinking Water Filtration System Here

Purchased this because I was tired of my kids breaking the "faucet-end" type filters I had been using and didn''t want to dedicate any space in my kitchen to bottled water. Product was not overly difficult to install but water was leaking from the dispenser when I turned it on. Since I am not a master plumber, I assumed I had done something wrong and rechecked all of my connections. Finding no problems from my connections, I attempted to isolate the exact source of the leak. I found that it was coming from inside the factory sealed on/off valve at the base of the faucet. DuPont customer service was quick to offer a replacement faucet but told me it would take 2 weeks to get here. I found a local retailer that sold the same item and figured I would use the faucet from that one and then return it with the new faucet when it arrived. Regrettably, after uninstalling the old faucet and installing the new one, the second faucet has the exact same leak. Obviously this is an inherent problem with the product and DuPont''s quality assurance department is not catching it. I now have a new hole in my sink and two mounting holes inside my cabinet and still don''t have filtered water.

Only positive thing I can say is that the filter did a good job of getting the chlorine taste out of the water I got before having to disconnect the system. DON''T BUY IT.

• Green Filter for LG 5231JA2006B,5231JA2006A,5231JA2006F replacement water filter by Swift Green Filters

This filter worked fine for about 2-3 months, but then we started seeing clear particles floating in our glasses. I replaced the refridgerator supply line, but still had the same issue. I then replaced this filter with an original LG filter and the problem was resolved. The LG filters will last 6 months to a year.

Product was as described with installation instructions that were easily understood. The instructions stated the new filter would be smaller in diameter and work the same as the old filter. It fit well and installation was easy. It does take a good push for filter to be seated in place before locking in place as the instructions state.

I got this product because it claimed to be compatible with the original LG. The only issue I had is that its diameter is a bit smaller, so it doesn''t fit snugly in the filter compartment. Other than that I didn''t notice any problem. It''s hard to tell if the quality of the filter is the same, but I didn''t notice a difference in taste.

We purchased this product several months ago. This is a good product, at a cost-effective price. Easy to install. Better that the original.
