Frigidaire 25-PINT Dehumidifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this dehumidifier! Both my wife and I moved to a new apartment in Pacifica, CA literally across the street from the beach. We normally leave our windows open so it vents a bit of fresh air but the problem is that humidity enters as well with the sea breeze. It got really damp in our apartment and so bad that I felt it every time I got in the blankets. I shopped around and found this dehumidifier online and thought it would be very helpful. When it came, no joke, it was like christmas. I tore it open with a twinkle in my eye and laughed with joy when I pulled it out. I read the instruction manual to make sure I didn't ruin anything and it was a simple 3-6 step process. I set it up in no time and plugged it in to the wall to see what this bad boy can do. Within 12 hours, this 25 Pint dehumidifier was full. It kept getting full for the next 4 days and now it is nice and dry in our 1 bedroom apartment. I really love it!

I gave it a five star because of its awesomeness and the vendors quickness in shipping. The product is amazing.

Be aware that this dehumidifier is no whisper technology machine. It is as loud as a portable fan but my wife loves it since she needs noise to help her fall asleep (drowns out our neighbors loud movie watching at 11 PM). Thanks Frigidaire, your the best!

Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG1 Single Serve Brewing System, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Back in June of 2009, Keurig announced a partnership with Mr. Coffee, as well as Cuisinart.The Cuisinart partnership created a premium line of Keurig brew machines.The Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG1 looks to catch the interest of the more cost-conscious consumer.

PROS:
- Quick
- Easy
- No mess
- Good value (for a Keurig)

CONS:
- Higher cost for coffee using K-Cups
- Higher up-front cost of coffee maker

I was a heavy coffee drinker in college and at my first office job but have otherwise been a casual java drinker since.I had owned coffee machines in the past but typically went the route of the Peet's, Starbucks, Caribou, etc.It was easier, more social, and usually tasted better.Going through the motions with a coffee maker at home was an arduous task, which often resulted in me having to throw away many bags of coffee due to expiration.Then came Mr. Coffee and Keurig technology.

Upon opening the box, I saw a clearly illustrated Quick Start guide that took me through the process of using K-Cups in the machine.It did however, leave out that you should run a cycle with just water before first use.I scanned the manual for a few minutes, ran the prep cycle then brewed my first K-Cup coffee, ever.It turned out just fine.I was AMAZED at how quickly it brewed.I would say it took me about 5 minutes from start to sip.

Afterwards, I just opened the brewer compartment to remove the used K-Cup and tossed it in the trash.No filter to deal with or carafe to clean.Quick to brew and easy to clean!Now, eventually you will need to clean out the parts to remove scaling and such, but depending on your use, I'd guess once a week would suffice.

The Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG1 is a no frills, personal 8-ounce single-cup brew machine.It is similar to the Keurig-branded mini brewer.The water reservoir is very small and just enough to brew your 8 ounce cup.The brewer compartment, where you insert the K-Cup, reminds me a little of an old cassette player.It opens up and you place the K-Cup inside and it accepts it for use.Then there's the drip tray that removes for easy dumping and cleaning.There are only 3 indicator lights.The first, surrounds the "Brew Now/Off" button and blinks softly when you press it to indicate the machine is working.The second light, "Heating" lets you know that it is heating up the water.The third indicator light, "Brewing", shows that the coffee is being brewed.When the coffee is finished, the "Brew Now/Off" button turns off and the machine is ready to be run again.

My only hesitation in recommending the machine goes for all single-serve pod-based coffee machines.Cost.The intial cost is usually pretty high when compared to a normal coffee maker and cost per K-Cup can be quite high relative to using normal bags of ground coffee.However, if you are looking at these systems, then what you are after is probably convenience, not a cheap cup of coffee.In that case, I believe the Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG1 is a great addition to your home or office.

ZeroWater ZD-023 23-Cup Water Dispenser and Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Get this and drink clean water!

I've been using a zerowater pitcher for about a year.Just got this larger dispenser and couldn't be happier.So much easier than buying bottles and the water is much cleaner and healthier (I add mineral drops to make it perfect).I am sensitive to Chlorine and Fluoride so zerowater makes me feel much better.

Most bottled waters are not nearly as pure as zerowater and contain chlorine, fluoride, or some of both.Lots of companies even add the fluoride after getting it clean.Maybe some people want it, but I don't.Of course bottles are a bad solution anyways, since the plastic chemicals can get into the water, and the bottles themselves create a lot of waste.

Not everyone needs to avoid chemicals in their water like I do, but everyone can enjoy drinking clean water.With this dispenser you can even cook with clean water.I drink the water cold, heat it in my electric kettle for tea, and make soup, all with perfectly pure water.

Just as a note, another reviewer mentioned using a PH test kit for a swimming pool.That test is not useful for drinking water.Typically pure water has a PH of 7, while your pool should be more alkaline (7.2 - 7.8 usually).So, an "acidic" result actually is further proof that the water is pure and below the test kit's range.Tap water tests more alkaline due to dissolved salts/minerals as well as chlorine, fluoride, etc.Because PH is a logarithmic scale, it would be completely normal to require large quantities of more alkaline water to raise the PH of pure water into the range of tap water or pool water.

Product Description:
With its generous 23-cup capacity, this innovative water-filtration system keeps pure, filtered drinking water conveniently accessible--its sleek, space-saving design fits neatly on the counter or on a shelf in the refrigerator. Functioning as both a water filter and a handy dispenser, the unit comes equipped with a push-button spout for simple one-handed dispensing into a glass, water bottle, or other beverage container, or even into a pot for cooking. Unlike conventional two-stage carbon filters, the dispenser's next-generation filtration system combines five levels of water-purifying technology. First, its activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste typically associated with tap water. Next, its Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into water from aluminum, lead, and other types of piping. Finally, three additional stages of filtration remove other impurities and ensure the water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a "000" reading on the included laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) water-testing meter. Other accessories include a patented dual Ion Exchange water filter, a handy user manual, and $35 in coupons for future filter purchases. Thoughtfully designed, the water dispenser also provides a built-in TDS meter holder, a flip-up lid for easily adding more water, and a shape that completely dispenses all the water inside, which means no stale water to worry about. A useful addition to any busy and health-conscious household, the 23-cup water-filtration dispenser measures approximately 6 by 11-1/5 by 15-1/5 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
