14804 Sears Kenmore Humidifier Wick Filter

These filters were not Kenmore filters but were supposed to be a replacement filter for a Kenmore they were an off brand and very inferior. I am using them since I don''t want the expense of returning them. Never again will I buy from this source.

This product was horrible. I purchased two to get us through the next few months and neither filter lasted longer than a week. The issue is that it looks like they are put together with some type of glue gun or something. The glue melted into the humidifier basin so there was a white film in it. Then the filter itself formed a goopy barrier (again the glue) where it hit the water in the humidifier which blocked the filter from working at all anymore.

Just horrible.

Buy 14804 Sears Kenmore Humidifier Wick Filter Now

This filter is not a genuie Kenmore filter but rather an no name brand replacement. The filter did not wick the water as good as a genuine Kenmore filter nor did it last as long. It virtually stopped wicking after about a month of use while I got a full season of use out of a Kenmore filter in a second humidifier that I have. This filter was much cheaper so I guess you get what you pay for. I would not buy this product again, not a good value.

I''ve used many different brands of filters for the Sears humidifier and these are not good. They do not have much wicking material, large "honeycomb" holes, thus they do not produce much moisture. With less fabric they silt up with the minerals very quickly. After about a week it was hard as a rock (lime) and do not wick. This price was good but you get what you pay for.

Mr. Coffee LMX37 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Save 18% Off

My family got this coffee maker just less then two years ago. We used, cleaned and kept up with the instructions exactly as they were spelled out in the guide. The coffee was good, the timer worked well. However a couple days ago it just stopped working. It gave us no sign that there was any trouble. I do not think that a Mr, Coffee will take the place this one left. It just seems to me that one should last more then 24 months. Making only one pot of coffee a day. It was a good price for the product, just not worth the time and trouble to replace one with another.

Paid too much for this at Lowes. Not entirely happy with the coffee it brewed. It worked for about three weeks and now it slowly brews approximatly half a pot and boils the rest of the water dry. Cleaning the machine with vinegar has made no difference in the brewing.

Clear2O CWF1034 Three Pack Water Pitcher Filters

This is a difficult product to rate because the filters seem to do a good job of filtering our drinking water but it''s hard to know when to change them. When we first started using them, we went by the color indicator on the top of the Applica Clear 2O Water Pitcher #CWS100A but it seemed like it turned red very quickly. So I started keeping track of each time we filled it. We use a lot of filtered water in our household (more than I would have thought before I started keeping track) because the tap water has an unpleasant chlorine taste. We use the filtered water for our drinking water, coffee and cooking as well as for the pet''s water dishes, so filling it 6 or 7 times a day isn''t unusual. According to their website and the Amazon product page they are supposed to filter 50 gallons or over 88 pitchers of water. The indicator turned completely red after 55 pitchers.

I kept using the same filter and tasted the water each time, comparing it to the tap water. The filter definitely produced a glass of water that had no chlorine taste, almost like distilled water. We used the same filter until we were up to 85 pitchers full and then changed it. I''ve found that by lifting the used filter out and pushing it back in, you can make the indicator go back to green for another (presumably) 55 pitchers of filtered water. I''m keeping track again this time around and will update this review if that changes. I plan to put a sticker of some sort on top of the pitcher then next time it turns red so I know it''s the second time around and to change it when it turns red again.

So why am I going through all this trouble to stick with this filtration system? Because the water tastes way better than any filtered water I''ve tried. We used Brita and Pur filters in the past that didn''t come close. This water tastes neutral, like a distilled water. Coffee and tea made with it tastes better. And the price of the filters is more reasonable than any others I''ve seen advertised and that''s a big factor for me.

Update 4/9/12 So here''s what we''re doing to keep track of the filters now. We wait until the filter indicator turns completely red (about 55 pitchers full) and then keep track by marking off the next 33 pitchers as we use them. It''s kind of a pain, but it''s become a habit. At least the water tastes good.

The product itself is fine. It took almost a month to get to me, though. I think that a wait of that amount is bad business.

A Placebo in My Opinion:

The individual boxed version of this replacement element misleads me.

The box writeup claims this filter element is NSF certified to reduce 53 contaminants.

FSN standards:

I learned that one(1) of seven FSN standards has been designated as number fifty three (53).

FSN #53 references the reduction of seven contaminants.

This filter element does not reduce 53 contaminants. It reduces the seven contaminants referenced in FSN standard #53.

Know this: FSN standard #42 pertains to reduction in chlorine taste and odor. Understand again "reduction" does not mean elimination. Taste and odor is often a personal opinion.

I disassembled my pitcher. There is a small mechanical water meter located just before the filter element. The Meter contains a disk banded with a green, yellow and red indicator. The indicator turns as the water passes through the meter and into the filter element. The disk will eventually turn enough to expose the red area indicator after about 88 gallons passes through the meter.

To reset the water meter to green and to begin an additional 88 gallons simply remove and reinstall the same filter. The usage indicator can be reset as often as you dare. You are only fooling yourself. The meter is mechanically reset each time the filter is turned as if it were replaced. Reset the indicator meter after each pitcher refill for possible endless results and satisfaction. In my opinion these filters are over priced and labeled with misleading claims. Google the word "Placebo"

They filter the water, but don''t take out the calcium, (I''m assuming).

We have pretty horrible water where I live. But these filters have always preformed like a champ.

What I am concerned about are the floaties and the taste of the water. It takes care of both.

Wow, The taste was just terrible. I bought 4 of these filters thinking what a great price vs. the manufacturer cost. I guess you get what you pay for. I tried the filter and gave it a chance for the first week or so thinking it just needed to get all the impurities out but after 20 gallons or so the taste remained. I would definitely not buy this product. I am not even sure its safe to drink the water.

I bought this filter expecting an original Sears Kenmore 46-9014 as stated at top of listing, but instead was sent a replacement Water Sentinel replacement filter that was smaller and will not fit a Sears Kenmore 46-9014 as stated on package of filter. They do not clearly state that this is a replacement, only at bottom Part NumberWSA-1 Kenmore. How does anybody buying this know this is a Water Sentinal replacement with that part number, and 5 reviews saying this is from Sears and not mentioning this is a replacement filter from Water Sentinel. I would have kept the 2 filters I bought even if not from Sears if they would have fit and not leaked charcoal all over the place.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Sears or Amana water filter. I bought the Amana from Amazon for around $30 and it is the exact filter as the Sears Kenmore 46-9014.

They also did not give me a full refund. They charged me a restocking fee, and I was out the $11.58 to return this garbage. They do not stand by their product, and this is an Amazon seller.

10" Sediment 5 Micron Filter

I have a DolFyn water distillation unit. [Model A30D] City tap water entering the water intake valve must be super clean or the electric intake valve will fail and it is very expensive to replace. In addition, unfiltered water entering the boiling chamber means that you have to clean it more often which is a hassle and not inexpensive either.This 5 micron filter by Omnipure filters sediment effectively. I have used my previous one for 2 years before replacing it. I cut the old filter in half to examine the filter material and found that it was uniformy filled with debris from the tap water. [Your tap water source may require more frequent changes] This filter is expremely easy to change. Just push the 1/4" tubing into the filter end and it is water-tight. Just make sure that you cut a bit off the supply and exit tubing each time so that the tubing is smooth where it goes into the filter ends. Also make sure that direction of the water flow is the same as the flow arrow printed on the filter. This filter is a must for anyone owning a distillation unit to avoid costly maintenance. Price was roughly half of what it is at retail locally. Delivery was one day late but considering it was during the Christmas and New Years holiday that is not unreasonable. Very satisfied with this filter and seller.

Kleen Free Naturally, Natural, Non-Toxic, Enzyme Solution and Multi-Purpose Cleaner Save 3% Off

This review is targeted towards people who have had an ongoing issue with mites and are desperate to hear from someone who has tried something that worked. I have spent thousands of dollars on various methods over the last ten years to try to get rid of my bug problem. I have tried: moving house, fumigation, throwing out all bedding, beds, linen, various chemicals and powders, vacuuming daily, showering twice a day (washing my bedding daily), listerine, menthol crystals, diatimacious earth, neem oil, baking soda, windex... you name it, I''ve tried it.

A couple of years ago I kind of resolved to learn to live with the problem. But this year I found some websites on the internet with information from people who had beaten the problem so I spent 6 months trying a range of products that they recommended. I purchased many of the products on the internet and had them posted to me from America to Australia at great expense.

I tried so many things that I cannot be certain whether it was the combination of products that worked in the end or not. But what I can tell you is that this product seemed to make a very radical difference very quickly. It is the only product that I am certain kills the bugs in the wash. This is important to me as my clothing and bedding seemed to be the last battleground with the mites. After ten years I had mostly eradicated them from other areas of my house but I found that I kept reinfecting myself until I started using kleen free. I have only been using kleen for around one month.

I wish I had received this advice when I first got the problem. In fact one of the websites that I followed said that Kleen Free didn''t work for them so I didn''t bother to try it until I read testimonials on the Kleen Free website that sounded truthful. I doubted that it was going to make a shred of difference though when I bought it.

Again, I''m not certain it will work for you. We are all amateurs out there trying things through trial and error and I''m sure there are a million bugs out there that respond to different products differently. I just know that it worked for my bugs. The fact that it is non toxic is so important. I was using products that I knew were toxic but I had decided that I would take the risk and use the other products anyway because I was so desperate to get rid of the bugs.

If I had to start from scratch again, I would do this:

Cover your mattress and pillows in mattress and pillow protectors that are properly sealed (ones recommended for bed bugs etc, not the flimsy dust mite ones), or wrap in thick plastic and seal with thick tape. You''ll get nowhere until you start doing this. Spray the mattress with Kleen Free first though!

Get rid of anything that is non-essential that you could live without (furniture, clothing, books etc.). And when I say "get rid of", I mean throw in the bin do not donate to charities or sell on ebay don''t pass the problem onto someone else. I threw out 95% of my clothes and ALL my furniture. This was hard to do because I collect vintage clothing and it is hard to replace. I threw out all furniture because the bugs can go in deep and it seemed too hard to keep cleaning, vacuuming my favourite couch etc. I don''t regret it. But I highly recommend not buying any new furniture until you have full confidence you have eliminated the problem, and if you do buy something, choose something you can wipe down with few crevices (like plastic chairs etc). (I did this before I came across Kleen Free)

Think of the creatures as you would dust. Wherever dust can reside, so can they. However difficult dust is to eliminate, so are they. This may seem extreme, and if you''ve only had the problem for a short while, you might think my advice is over the top it is not. This "dust" also likes to breed! And can do so very quickly. What may start off as a minor problem can become a major and expensive problem within a week. Think of them as breeding dust that can lay eggs that can survive for years. When they do hatch, it takes them around a week to mature and start breeding again. So do the math... you could have millions within a week. And these are worse than dust because you can''t see them and they can scurry away very quickly.

Vacuum clean EVERY DAY and everywhere. Use a vacuum with a hepa filter. Throw the bag out everyday if you can afford it. If not, put the bag in a plastic zip-lock back and put that bag in another zip-lock bag and put that bag in the freezer. (My experience makes me think that freezers kill mites but not their eggs). Handle the bag with disposable gloves.

Note: Try not to reinfect anything (as a general rule).

Wash your bedding everyday (in kleen free). Only use towels and clothing once and wash immediately. Put washing in a freezer (or sealed bags) until you can wash them.

Clean (with Kleen free) all areas where you plan to put your clean clothes, bedding etc. (cupboards, drawers etc)

Vacuum your whole house including floors, walls etc as much and often as you can. (This includes shoes).

Tell yourself that this will take you six months to beat! And that it requires planning, persistence and patience (make that your mantra when you think it is unbearable and no believes you!!!). If it takes less than 6 months it will be a bonus. Also, tell yourself that it might take a month of mad cleaning before you start to notice a difference.

Follow the instructions on the kleen free bottle bathe in it, spray the whole house etc for the first week then every second day in the second week.

Even if you don''t buy this product, the vacuuming and washing of clothes (or disposal) is absolutely essential.

In fact, when I got bitten while wearing an item of clothing (before I discovered Kleen Free), I would take the item of clothing off immediately and throw it in the bin. I also did this with bedding. I would ask myself whether it is worth the trouble of trying to wash the bugs out or not... what is more costly? I bought myself heaps of cheap blankets, sheets and pillows I was willing to throw away every so often... but with Kleen Free, hopefully you won''t have to do that. (I stopped doing it when I discovered this product!) I threw out expensive woolen coats etc. too. It''s best to wash your clothing in the hottest water possible and in the hottest drier, so I started buying synthetic clothing that could handle such temperatures. Try to buy cheap, synthetic clothing and don''t buy too much... throw it out if you''re getting bitten too much.

Psychologically, what worked for me was that I tried to keep some kind of tally of how many bites I was getting on a daily basis. At first it was 50, then 20ish then 5, etc. As annoying as five new bites a night is, as least you know it''s less than it was last month, so what you are doing is working, so persevere! I remember I used to count how many bites I''d get on the way to work... usually three or four, then down to two, then one. Then one day I remembered that I hadn''t counted them for a couple of days. That equalled NO BITES on the way to work! Sure, I was being bitten at night still, but they were disappearing VERY slowly but surely.

As I write this review I am awaiting another bottle of Kleen Free to come from the USA. I didn''t follow the instructions correctly when I first bought the product and I ran out of the product very quickly. I also didn''t take the baths etc. (because I don''t have a bath) I just bought myself an inflatable one on ebay! I have been getting the occasional bite (one these last three weeks). But I know it''s because I have reinfected myself with something I haven''t treated. I only wash my clothes in Kleen Free now, and I''m saving all that I have left for my washing. When I do the whole program properly, I will amend this review.

I''m writing this review because I feel compelled to help people who need somewhere to start. I know if I post on a bird mite board somewhere people might think I work for the company and not take my review seriously, so I''m posting here.

Good luck to those of you who have had the misfortune of a bird mite infestation!

Later edit:

I just read the review above mine that talked about a bedbug crawling straight through the product. I agree that that would be extremely disconcerting. My bug problem was probably a type of mite, not a bedbug. I don''t know if that makes a difference to the effectiveness of the product. If you do have an "invisible" biting mite problem like I did, I would chance this product... it''s a relatively cheap low risk. I''m only adding this footnote because if I had come across the negative review and not given it a go that would have been a shame and I wouldn''t be experiencing the relief I''m experiencing now.

If you want to check out the ingredients of this product for product comparison''s sake, do a google search by including the name of this (or any) product with "MSDS" (Material Safety Data Sheet). All companies by law, must list the ingredients and safety requirements of the product. You will then have the knowledge to make your own judgement. This information is abundantly available on the internet.

Even later update (Oct 2011):

I have practically eliminated the problem and I have run out of Kleen Free. All I do now to maintain my sanity is clean my clothes and bedding in hot water and dry them in a hot (laundromat/gas) dryer on a weekly basis. I also vacuum clean once a week. And this seems to be good enough. I had not been bitten for some months though. I recommend maintaining your routine until you haven''t been bitten for three months. Just to be sure!

I recently walked into my garage and stepped on some old furniture and by the end of the night I was being bitten again. This time I didn''t panic! I knew that if I stuck to my usual regime I would get rid of them eventually... and I did after two-three weeks.

But I am adding to this review because I came across another additional product that I believe assisted me on my journey and that is orange oil. I read somewhere that if insects lay their eggs too deeply in the skin of an orange, the eggs do not survive. Apparently when they come into contact with the d-limonene found in the peel of oranges (and some other citrus fruits) the eggs die. When I read that I decided to try dabbing orange oil wherever on my body I felt a bite. Be warned, this stuff is used as a cleaner because it is very corrosive. 99 % of the time I had no reaction to it but on occasion I did. It stung me and I believe it can burn your skin. So if you choose to try it out like I did use it very cautiously or mix it with another oil. I purchased it from a health food store and then in bulk from an essential oil supplier. Be very careful!!

But I do think it helps. You won''t notice its effect immediately because I think it only kills eggs... but I think it does help in time.

Good luck to you all and I''m glad my review has assisted some of you.

Later addition, 11 October 2012:

I started a blog way back in 2009 to discuss my processes. But I was so overwhelmed with trying to defeat the problem, that I did not add anymore entries. Additionally, I felt silly blogging about things that weren''t working.

As this review has turned into a kind of forum, I thought I''d direct you back to my blog so that you can add things not related to the review of this product there. The blog is called The Mite Wars. I hope Amazon allow me to keep this info on this review. I''m not sure if I''m breaking any rules here.

Please comment or ask questions there! I did not copy and paste any comments from this review as they are not my own, and I do not have the right to do that.

If anyone wishes to start a forum (instead of my blog) please feel free to do so.

I didn''t know I had scabies until six months into having them. The skin specialist said I had a rash and the treatment wasn''t working. My internal medicine doctor was the one that told me I had scabies. I never heard the name before so when I got home I went onto the internet to find out what they were. I never new such a bug and wish I never did but I had to continue to read and learn as much as I could so I could find a way to get rid of them. Rumor has it that lying in the sun can help get rid of them but that isn''t true. You want to get rid of them use Kleen Free. Your nightmare will be over. Before I knew about Kleen Free, I tried another expensive product to get rid of the scabies but the treatments it required just wasn''t doing the trick. It only called for 2 or 4 oz to be added in the tub verses one cup of Kleen Free. My first treatment of Kleen Free by adding one cup in the tub, I could feel it working. It is hard to say into words, but I could feel the enzymes killing them on my skin. Scabies lay their eggs in your skin and when they hatch they like fly or flutter around your body and you can feel them for a while before they enter back into your skin and turn into adult scabies and make more eggs and the cycle starts all over again. The enzymes kill them before they have a chance to re-enter your body and produce more of them. As time goes bye, less and less of them are hatch and the cycle stops. Your Kleen Free of scabies. When you only use 2 or 4 oz of another brand, it takes forever or weeks before you get rid of them. You are only teasing them and not really getting to the problem effectively. Using Kleen Free, and using what is recommended, one cup in the bath water, and soaking for 1/2 hour in the tub was more effective. I would purchase two gallons of Kleen Free which lasted a lot longer than the other competitor product. I also use Kleen Free in my wash, my bed, rugs, furniture, my car seats and floor, and I even washed my makeup cosmetic pad in Kleen Free. I would spray my shoes or put them in a freezer bag over night. Everyday, I would change and wash my sheets and comforters. The same goes for my towels and dish towels. I wished I came across Kleen Free sooner. I spent a lot of money purchasing the other product and you get a lot more for your money with Kleen Free. After using the other product after five weeks, I still had them, but when I started using Kleen Free and after two weeks I could hardly tell I had them anymore. By the third week, I was Kleen Free. And even though I don''t have them anymore, I still keep on hand some Kleen Free just to maintain. I don''t ever want them back again and your mental state is Kleen Free, too. Happy Ending.

Great natural cleaner and pest killer amazingly good at dealing with bug infestations on plants (like those neffy Japanese beatles) and actually, truly works to kill scabies which I can, sadly, personally attest to.

We had a scabies outbreak where I used to work (wholesaler/retailer in the garment district; source was likely a contaminated goods delivery). Just my luck, I was one of the people infected. Let me tell you, these things are vicious and can be really, really difficult to get rid of. They are invisible to the naked eye and to most magnifying lenses (10x and under useless), breed and spread rapidly and become immune to treatments very quickly. Unfortunately, I (and most of my fellow sufferers) did not realize what I had until it had spread in my home; these things love paper, cardboard, cloth, anything porous of that type, and can even get down in the floor boards. Basically a nightmare. The prescription medications I received worked at first, but I kept getting re-infected while trying to deal with infected bedding, clothes etc. and, unfortunately, within one week these hideous little things had spread in my bedroom and become immune to the topical medicine. Doctors were no use (initially told me I didn''t need to do anything to clean the environment, not even wash my clothes, which was just moronic!).

I was getting desperate so I did what I should have done in the first place and searched for advice from other sufferers on the internet. I found a lot of information that scared me to bits, but also some good product recommendations and protocols for dealing with this infestation in my home and on my body. I bought all of the products that seemed to be most recommended the one that worked to kill the mites off my body and in my bathroom and most of my bedroom was Kleen Free. This stuff gave me relief and got me (and the worst affected areas of my house) clean of the nasties; apparently it kills them by dissolving exoskeleton of the mite so the mites have no chance to develop immunity, thank goodness (and no, the Kleen Free did not damage my skin and I have VERY sensitive skin). I did NOT use the Kleen Free on upholstery, rugs or clothes, but I did use it in bathe water to decontaminate myself and I used a diluted solution to wipe down floors, walls, furniture and personal possession I handled all the time, like cellphone, keys, etc. Once I and the immediate environs were creepy critter free, I put on some clean clothes one of my sisters brought for me (sealed in plastic) and went to stay somewhere else while an exterminator bombed my home (internet search told me this was possible and what should be used). I then purchased a few of those environment suits with plastic linings at Home Depot (for cleaning basements, etc.) and my family and I wore them as a precaution to go back into the house. Per the information I found on the internet, anything in the affected areas which could not be laundered and dryed at high heat for at least 30 minutes was bagged and disposed of, including papers, books (sob), mattress, carpets, some upholstered furniture and shoes. To be on the safe side I disposed of all clothes except my favorites. Clothes I couldn''t bear to part with were washed and dried in a hot dryer for a minimum of 30 minutes and then double-bagged to be left un-opened for 2 months and then re-washed and re-dryed before being worn again; there were some suits that could not be washed which I cleaned with those dry-cleaning sheets you can use in your dryer the important thing was to expose them to high dryer heat for at least 30 minutes to kill any possible remaining infestation. There were some books and papers I couldn''t bear to part with which I sprinkled with diatomaceous earth, sealed up in plastic bags and put aside to store for a minimum of 2 years (erring on the side of caution different sources gave different time periods I was horrified at how persistent mites apparently can be). We then sprinkled diatomaceous earth on all floor surfaces (this stuff cuts up the exoskeletons of all insects and is non-toxic, although you do NOT want to breathe it we used face masks). My home was then left vacant for 2 weeks and then bombed again at the end of the 2 weeks this was to give the mites nothing to eat during the next lifecycle and to kill the next round of any nasties (from egg to adult). I confess I was so paranoid by that point (listening to the horror stories of my co-workers and from what I read on the ''net) that I waited another 2 weeks and bombed one more time before moving back in. In the meantime, I continued to bathe using the Kleenfree as a just in case preventative. Anyway, this worked and my home and I were both scabies free (although there was a lot of clean up to get rid of the diatomaceous earth, but it was worth it for the peace of mind!)

There is a codcil here. A bad attack of scabies will continue to cause incredibly severe itching and irritation for months after, as it takes time for the skin to purge out all the contamination from these creepy things. It is also typical to develop a skin yeast infection about a year or more later as a side affect of the scabies attack (yes, the gift that just keeps on giving). For these reasons, combined with the fact that the scabies mites are invisible, people often think they are still infected with scabies long after they have gotten rid of them. The first 6 months after the initial infestation were rough for me; taking a bath with Kleen Free once in a while during that period helped keep me calm and sure that I was "clean". Let me add that the oral prescription drug ivermectin is an effective way to get rid of scabies if the skin medications don''t work for you; there are some dangerous possible side effects but most of the people I worked with who were infected ended up having to take this and were ok you take one dose and then another 2 weeks later. Altogether, having scabies was one of the worst experiences of my life and I honestly don''t know how I would have made it through if I had not found Kleen Free.

Note that this stuff is highly concentrated; a couple gallons was enough to see me through the whole ordeal and the 6 month period after (with enough left over to use on the japanese beatles in my sister''s garden).

I was interested in this product because we have bed bugs to get rid of and the product is made from natural ingredients, no chemicals. I could tell right away that it had vinegar in it. I think vinegar acts as a repellant to bed bugs but does not kill them. I sprayed the carpet and our bedding and floor boards. I regret to say we still have bed bugs so we must move on to other methods.

I used this spray after I got a bed from some friends who were moving. Turned out that the bed (mattress and box springs), which previously sat unused in their spare bedroom, was infested with bedbugs. Nothing killed the bugs; I used Raid, bug bombers, probably tried ten different products from local retailers. I was utterly miserable because the bugs were migrating into the rest of the house from my spare bedroom, and I was getting bit. It was a living hell. In desperation I found this. IT WORKED!!!!!! I diluted the concentrate a little on the heavy side and sprayed everything. Twice. I laundered the sheets and blankets in it and I also soaked in the bath for the bites, which worked like a charm. Within two days my house was clear of bedbugs. I am buying another bottle this year to treat for fleas on the dogs because Frontline isn''t working as well as it used to.

Buy OMNIFilter OT32-S-05 Drop-in Undersink Filter OT32 Now

I live in central Florida and the water here is horribly hard and tastes terrible. I have owned this system before and was very happy with it''s performance so when I built a new home I purchased the same system. Lime deposits are virtually eliminated and the filtered water is refreshing and has little or no taste the way pure water is suppose to taste. Installation can be easy but the manufacturer only supplys connecting hardware for one type of connection so you may have to buy hardware as I did to install it under the sink into the existing water supply. I found all the hardware I needed at the Home Depot so it didn''t take anything special. I installed this system to city water, I can not say how it would perform with well water.

We enjoy drinking water, and the OMNIFILTER system has consistently provided good tasting water--even when we have forgotten to change the filters past the recommended period. As a control, I have compared the filtered water with water straight from the tap. There is no question that the filters are doing their job.

Want OMNIFilter OT32-S-05 Drop-in Undersink Filter OT32 Discount?

I had an Omni undersink filter for about 15 years and loved it. The head cracked and I needed to replace it. I went with Omni again for the long years of service I had with the old one. I couldn''t find another type that I like as much for the price.

Essick Air 1040 Replacement Wick Save 5% Off

I haven''t used anything different in my Essick Humidifier (which is by far the best humidifier I''ve ever owned -definitely worth the $80 I paid for it), and I think these filters work swell.

To make them last:

-add a cap of liquid bacteria treatment (buy this in a hardware store for cheap) to the base of the humidifier every other week

-soak the filters in warm vinegar water once monthly (they will retain a slight vinegar smell for a day, but that quickly fades)

I typically get 4 months use out of the filters before I replace them. With the effort I put into keeping them clean I likely could use them longer, but the mineral stains make me think they''re dirty.

I haven''t been able to locate these filters in local stores (and trust me when I tell you I''ve searched all over Denver!), so I tend to order in bulk off from Amazon once a year and keep a supply of them in the closet.

The filters were well priced, exactly as advertised, delivered with lightning speed, and made that humidifier work like new. You can''t ask for much more than that!

Hoover HEPA Filter For Elite Rewind Part # 59157055 Save 69% Off

First off, this is not an OEM filter (not manufactured by Hoover). It is manufactured by Crucial Vacuum. But that''s not a problem because these are actually much better than the OE part.

These are true HEPA standard filters and fit VERY tightly to eliminate filter bypass. The reviews that say they don''t fit are incorrect. They fit, just very snugly. It''ll take a few tries to assemble the filter canister.

The vacuum already has a HEPA exhaust filter, but that doesn''t protect the mechanical internals from dust buildup (whereas these do,) and it''s not zero bypass so fine particles will re-enter the room.

Also, these are WASHABLE with water! (Visit the Crucial Vacuum website for washing instructions.) This doubles the filter life to 6 months and makes these much cheaper than the OE filters.

I''m very pleased with this surprise, I just wish the Amazon review accurately described the brand.

We had used our vacuum so much in the past few months (we recently moved) that the filter began to REALLY stink. I tried cleaning it, but at this price, it was well worth getting rid of. I was a little hesitant as there were some reviews on here that mentioned the part NOT fitting correctly. I had this part shipped to me within just a few business days and it slid right into the collection chamber. No problems with fitting. Satisfied with the purchase price and you can''t beat free shipping. Best price on the internet or in any retail store.

I read all the reviews good and bad, and went for it anyway. I''m glad I did cause it made my old vaccume like new again. The lil vac attachment had stopped working and I took it apart and put it back together again and that didn''t help but I put in the new filter and it is a bit harder to get in but that is only the first time after that it''s easy pease, but the lil attachment worked!!! will be buying again when I need a new one!

I bought this replacement filter so I could change out (and wash) the one that came with the Hoover Elite Rewind Vacuum. As previous reviewers mentioned, the filter gasket needs to be seated/deformed to the mating housing part before it can be easily installed. But that''s no big deal. I just wish the filter was cheaper, then I would purchase several.

Fluoride Removal Dual Undercounter Water Filter Purifier

• Removes Chlorine, Lead, Fluoride, Chemicals and Heavy Metals
• Leaves beneficial minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, intact
• Convenient - quality water right at your tap
• Economical - costs only pennies per gallon for "better than bottled" quality
• Quick-connect fittings makes the installation a snap!

The product came as advertised.

It is wonderful! I am SO happy to finally be able to stop buying-toting-storing gallons upon gallons of drinking water!

Installation took about an hour and a half, drilling, plumbing hookups, tightening screws, and what not. (I watched in anticipation lol)

After installation I let it run through for a couple of minutes, tried a sip, and then immediately used the chlorine testing strips provided which proved perfect chlorine filtration!

The water taste is awesome. No funny smells or tastes, just pure water. You would think you had dipped a cup into a pure mountain spring.

I have a 2.5 gallon BPA-free dispenser jug in the fridge (which I also bought from Amazon over a year ago) because I like cold/cool water. So, I filled it right up and I''m all set.

This is the best undercounter water filter available for the money. I checked the chlorine as soon as we hooked it up and the strip came back with zero chlorine. Excellent buy.

Want Water Sentinel WSM-1 Refrigerator Replacement Filter Discount?

Pro''s:

-slightly higher water volume than the Maytag model

-OK tasting water

-did not leak

-comes with the stick on date stamp, so you know when to change the filter

Cons:

-longer in length than the Maytag, really not an issue for me, but could be depending on your fridge''s shelving.

-I returned this filter because it left a plastic or bitter taste to the water. I fill a quart bottle each day for drinking at work. I was immediately able to taste the difference between this filter and the Maytag one. But, I left it installed hoping that it would go away after a week or so of use. But it didn''t, so I returned it.

It''s not like I''m a picky water drinker either. I''m totally happy with cheap bottled water like Costco''s Kirkland brand more than the expensive stuff like Evian & Fuji and the like. But, the "plasticky" taste was something I really couldn''t live with. I gave it 3 stars because the product worked well and build quality was fine. Taste is subjective, so others might like the water it produces just fine.

This is a good alternative to the pricier version that is made by Maytag. Easy to install and works just as well... Good Buy!!!

Brita Space Saver Water Filter Pitcher (White) Save 4% Off

This might be piling on, but we have an obligation to the community: this pitcher is junk. The lid will not stay on. Never mind trying to pour with it, just carrying it to the refrigerator without the lid falling off is a challenge. It should go without saying that Brita should be able to filter water. That''s what the company does. The water is great. It will save us a bunch of money. It''s the right thing to do for the environment. But come on, Brita. You''re based in Oakland, CA. Get some of those smart people from Cal or Stanford to work on your design or QA or something. Manufacturing somewhere that you lost track of?

Made a video to show what I mean.

Well, the water''s terrific -but no matter how many times we try to asemble, reassemble and figure out the architecture of the pitcher, the thing leaks when you pour -and leaks a lot. So it''s essentially useless. I wonder what rocket scientist designed such a device. Maybe they can get a job at NASA.

Buy Brita Space Saver Water Filter Pitcher (White) Now

This Brita pitcher leaves much to be desired. I never write these reviews, but just had to for this one. Yes, the filtration system leaves the water tasting great, BUT....

1. It leaks a little.

2. There is often a little bit of charcoal residue in the bottom of the pitcher AFTER soaking for 15 minutes and rinsing any visible residue off and fitting into the space very securely.

3. I hate the spout.!!! About a quarter of the time I go to pour myself a glass of water, the spout stays shut and water goes all over the counter or floor in front of the fridge, or wherever I am pouring water into something.

I wont'' be buying this brand again.

Read Best Reviews of Brita Space Saver Water Filter Pitcher (White) Here

DO NOT BUY THIS WATER PITCHER. As the other reviews stated, no matter how I try the lid falls off while pouring, making a huge mess. Just what I need before going to bed and pouring a glass of water. Who is the design challenged boob that came up with this thing? And why is Brita Co. selling this pitcher when it is so obviously flawed? Is it really that hard to design a water pitcher that pours water? My guess is that somehow this pitcher went into production before quality testing and now Brita needs to get rid of them. They should do the right thing and take it off the shelves. Total waste of money. This is a great pitcher to give someone as a practical joke, or to someone you wish ill. Also, I find that most Brita filters leave charcoal swimming in the water. And yes, I soak them for 15-20 minutes and rinse them well before installing into pitcher. Never had much luck with Brita pitchers or filters, but this one is by far the worst design ever conceived.

Want Brita Space Saver Water Filter Pitcher (White) Discount?

I contacted Brita about the lid falling off when you try to pour water. To my amazement they responded that the lid is designed to not latch or be held on. WOW Apparently it is designed to fall off.

43501 Coffeemaker by PROCTOR SILEX Save 28% Off

I bought this from a local store a little less than a year ago. It worked great up until about a month ago when it started giving me fits. I think the problem is that it is getting "old" and the plastic on the top lid is becoming weaker. Every morning I plug the coffee maker in before jumping in the shower. When I get out I have a nice pot of coffee waiting for me. Not now! Sometime in the 10 minutes or so it takes me to return, the top lid pops open allowing the water/steam to escape from the machine instead of going through the brew basket and making coffee. So, now I come out to a kitchen that has been "steamed" by my coffee maker and just a half of a cup of coffee. I''ve watched it several times on weekends and have found that once the plastic on the top lid starts to get warm, the plastic bends enough that the little tab that holds the lid down comes undone and the lid pops up.

Overall, this was a good coffee maker for the price (I think I paid around $10 on sale at my local store). Had I paid more for it, I would be unhappy about the short life span (less than a year). But, since I''ve used it to make at least 1 pot of coffee each day I guess I''ve gotten my money''s worth. If you can get it cheap enough, then go ahead and buy it, just know the life expectancy may not be as long as you had hoped.

Old Friend Women''s 481142 Sheepskin/Char Innersole

GREAT PURCHASE!! Just what I was looking for! These "Old Friend" brand sheepskin inserts are perfect replacements for my totally worn-out inserts in my UGG slippers. I was about ready to give up and thrown away my UGGS, but, YEAH, the new inserts make my UGGS like new. They are obviously 100% REAL Sheepskin, and warm enough to wear barefoot. Also, they''re wide enough to fit well(unlike another brand I returned). I just used my old inserts as a pattern for cutting the new ones to fit perfectly, and that made it easy and fast to make my UGGS like brand-new! I''m tempted to purchase a second pair to have on hand as back-up! These are WONDERFUL!!

The other negative comment, could be true, if you were purchasing them for heels, or shoes to wear outdoors, but, for slippers, they''re perfect!

Love my old friend slippers, but these innersole replacements are a waste of money. Expected they would be the same as the ones that I was replacing. They are a poor imitation, very thin. I also own UGGs and next time I need innersoles will buy UGGs. What you get here is a $3.00 product for $19.00, don''t waste your money.

These have renewed the life of my favorite La Canadienne boots. I wear them just about everyday for dog walks, to work, etc. and had worn down the original insoles. These innersoles were easy to fit, cushy without being bulky and feel better than new. I am going to buy more to insert into other boots/shoes that may not even have had sheepskin to begin with. Fabulous find.

These insoles are soft... TOO soft. The sheepswool is soft for your feet, but the surface on which it is mounted is a floppy foam with little or no stability. They bunch up and slide around after a few steps. I bought these to replace the insoles of my Old Friend boots, but ended up having to glue them to the backside of the old insoles. They are not like the ones that come with the boots.

Omnipure CL10RO-T33 GAC Inline Filter

If you ordered correctly you should have no complaints. Might take a few tanks to get the taste the way you like it but works fine.

I shopped around for this cartridge filter to match the original that came with my Spectra Pure RO/DI drinking water system. I am completely satisfied, it helps make the water taste and odor fresher. We use the water for cooking and beverages, I live in a part of the country that has extreemly hard water with high iron content and requires water softening prior to final filtration. As a bonus the price was the lowest I could find anywhere and delivery was fast.
