Austin Air HealthMate Jr Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Austin Healthmate Jr. about 5 years ago for a dusty area and have been happy with it. The three things I like best about it are that you don't have to buy filters very often because you can vacuum the outside of the filter and that it's relatively quiet. The other thing is that it's a HEPA filter takes air in on all four sides and blows the filtered air out through the top area. It seems to do a good job of filtering the air. It's more energy efficient than air purifiers I've used in the past and it has 3 speeds which is nice.

If you use it in really dusty conditions like mine, you can replace the pre-filter more often than the big filter. I've found this type of material that I could cut to fit at a local hardware store. You get a pre-filter with it. You have to take it apart to replace the pre-filter and filters, but it isn't difficult. You can turn off the machine and vacuum it from the outside and that seems to help the filters last longer. Of course, you'll want to use a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter or you defeat the purpose. I replace mine about once a year, but I think the average person could go much longer.

Green Star GS-1000 Juice Extractor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been juicing since the early 1990s and more recently, as a certified raw foods associate chef, have been preparing a wider range of juicer recipes including pates and ice cream from frozen bananas.I have experience with Green Star, Champion, Juiceman, and several other juicers, and have read quite a bit about various models of juicers.If you are going to be juicing a lot of greens such as kale and parsley, the Green Star will give you a better and more nutritious yield than any juicer on the market.It far exceeds masticating juicers such as the Champion in this regard, as well as centrifugal juicers such as theJuiceman.A huge benefit of Green Star is that it juices wheat grass, so you will not need a dedicated wheat grass juicer.It's also amazingly quiet, far quieter (and a bit slower) than my Champion.And like the Champion, it does a great job with pates, frozen ice cream, and other recipes requiring a homogenizing blade, also known as a "blank."With a slower speed, the juice does not heat up as much as with a Champion and oxidizes slower.

So is there a catch?Yes.There are far more parts to assemble, disassemble, and clean than with a Champion.I'm reminded of the time when my brother was a child, he asked to borrow my father's watch, and my father said, "sure."A few days later, my father wanted his watch back, and entered my brothers room to find a bazillion little pieces on the floor:gears, springs, etc.My brother explained that he wanted the watch so he could take it apart, but not to worry he said, "I'll put it back together."My father said, "don't worry about it, you can keep the watch."When I take apart a Green Star juicer, I always think of this story because it has so many more parts than a Champion.(Although fortunately, the Green Star is far easier to assemble and disassemble than an analog watch.:-)At the Living Light Culinary Institute where I trained as a raw foods chef, when we made pates and banana ice cream, we always reached for the Champion, not the Green Star.

In deciding whether to purchase a Green Star juicer, consider whether you are going to be juicing a lot of greens and/or wheatgrass, and whether you're really going to take the time to disassemble, clean, and assemble about a dozen parts each time you use it.If you're not put off by that, then I highly recommend the Green Star.If you are mostly considering a juicer for carrot juice, fruit juices, banana ice cream and pates, then I would steer you towards the Champion.If you want to use a juicer for all of the above and can afford and have the space for both, then I enthusiastically recommend both.

Note that there are 3 models of Green Star juicers, of which the GS1000 is their most basic model.The GreenStar.com website explains the various accessories that come with or can be purchased with each.Accessories such as pasta makers and mochi makers are available for purchase with the GS1000, but are included with the GS3000.

Sunpentown SS-212 Fully Automatic 1-1/2-Liter Soymilk Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned my first soybean milk maker by Sunpentown for more than 10 years and loved it very much. This time I needed a new one, so I researched a quite bit to see if other makers were catching up with Sunpentown and had anything better. Eventually I still decided to stay with Sunpentown and bought this model.

After a few months of using this one, I am not disappointed. It works great. This model has a new(additional) setting(that my old one did not have) which allows using dry beans directly without soaking them first. I have not tried the new setting yet. I still soak the beans first as an old habit.

Also this model comes with a sturdy holder so when the central part is pulled out from the stainless steel pitcher, it can be securely placed in the holder, instead of inconveniently laying it on kitchen countertop or sink. I love this feature.

I would recommend this product to anyone who likes soybean milk.

Product Description:
Creamy, protein-rich soymilk tastes great poured over cereal, mixed into soups or mashed potatoes, or served in a tall frosty glass alongside a plate of chocolate-chip cookies. This fully automatic machine makes it easy to produce fresh, healthy soymilk from raw beans in minutes--a convenient, labor-saving alternative for those who have been grinding, filtering, and cooking up batches manually. To use, simply add measured amounts of water and raw soy beans (dry or soaked), make a selection from the user-friendly push-button control panel, and it takes care of the rest. The micro-processor controlled cooker features temperature-controlled grinding to minimize grainy taste, heating elements that do not come in contact with the soymilk, and an effective filter basket to ensure a smooth consistency. Best of all, it makes 1-1/2 liters (50 ounces) or six 8-ounces glasses of soymilk at a time and in less than 18 minutes. Other highlights include durable stainless-steel construction, an LED indicator and audible alert signals, a temperature sensor, boil-over protection, and an easy-to-clean design. The ETL-listed soymilk maker measures 9 by 7 by 13 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Filtron 30LD Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a Toddy after losing my Filtron and just wanted to post on the relative merits of each.This might be premature but, so far, I see nothing to recommend the Toddy.With the Filtron you just pour the water into a separate container and it gently disperses.This is an incredibly low tech method of making coffee but I think monkeys could figure out that you just need a bucket with a hole in it to save yourself mess and time. Not so.With the Toddy you have to gently pour water over the coffee, wait, repeat... etc.Sure it looks kinda nice but it's kinda labor intensive.The Filtron is simpler to "operate.It's also pretty much bombproof.Make sure and buy extra plugs and filters as they can be easy to lose and hard to replace.These things do make amazingly good coffee.

Acme 6001 Juicer - Juicerator Household Centrifugal Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Acme juicers are made by Waring now as they have been for the past twenty years or so.One can buy the identical juicer as the Waring Commercial, so price shopping may prove fruitful.

I'll state that I've used Acme juicers for 30 years and the one I own now I've had for a number of years.The design hasn't changed, though, and my juicer uses the same supplies and parts.

Though the Acme appears quite similar to the Omega 1000/9000 series, there is one important design difference.If you look at the photo of the Acme you will see there are no moving arms on either side to hold the lid down.Apparently these arms are an Achilles' heel for Omega owners, breaking over time.The Acme uses no arms.The lid is placed on top of the bowl, then a short twist locks the lid to the side arms.No hanging, moving parts to break, and it's extremely quick and easy and secure.I'm sure when the guys breaking away from Acme decided to essentially copy the Acme design they couldn't take this with them, so they went with breakable arms.I can only say that after thousands of openings and closings with my Acme, the lid is as secure and workable as it was when new.

As can be seen, this isn't one of the so-popular pulp ejectors with the slanted slotted basket to throw pulp out.Upon opening the lid and looking inside, the sheer size of the straight-sided pulp catcher is impressive after looking at so many little slanted baskets.The pulp catcher is large enough to easily accommodate my man's hand for cleaning. And, of course, the outer stainless steel container is even larger.Because those of us who do serious juicing know that periodically the cutting blades will dull and need replacement, the cutting blades are on a very heavy stainless weighted disc, separate.At this time the cost is around $30 to replace this heavy cutting disc; full-sized Omegas and Acmes use the same disc.And, of course, the big juice bar commercial juicers also feature replaceable cutting discs.There is a large threaded shaft coming up from the motor in the middle.A large, easily-handled knob with built-in spring clutch threads on the shaft after dropping the heavy cutting disc on the shaft.Alignment of the cutting disc is automatic, no fiddling required.Total assembly of the stainless steel basket, outer container, cutting disc and lid is extremely easy and fast compared to so many newer generation juicers.Just a classic design that truly hasn't been improved.

This is a massive and heavy appliance and it sets on a dozen or so rubber feet; in years I've never known the thing to walk an inch.These big rubber feet (some are visible in the photo) dampen vibration perfectly.Upon turning the machine on, the noise level is quite low compared to so many juicers, rather a low, whooshing noise.The basket spins at 60rpm/second.This may not be as fast as some machines, but one must remember the large diameter of the pulp basket.It gains speed quickly in a few seconds is at operating speed.I'm not going to jam produce into any juicer like some of those idiots on infomercials, and this juicer easily takes care of firm vegetables.The best method for leafy greens is to roll them up into a roll or a ball to give sufficient firmness for the cutting disc.No, this juicer doesn't extract the same amount of juice for leafy greens.Buy a masticator if you want primarily those.

After use, it does take a half minute or so for the basket to slowly return to idle.I will say this juicer will easily produce a couple of 16-ounce glasses of carrot/beet/celery type juice before requiring cleaning of the pulp container.And boy, is it dry!Can't squeeze a drop out.I keep reading how much harder this basket is to clean than pulp ejectors.Not in my opinion.Because of its great size, I can easily reach inside.Not only that, because it isn't slanted on the circumference, pulp somehow doesn't get a grip.I never have to use a brush on this basket, just running water and my hand.

I know this review is long, but there isn't a lot of publicity about a juicer that was one of the bedrocks of juicing, and still should be.Unlike so many of these little foreign-made machines selling like hotcakes now, this juicer will be around for your grandchildren--and parts are still completely available.Hope this helps those considering--and compare the lid lock with Omega!

Austin Air HealthMate+ Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very sensitive to chemicals.I give the HealthMate Plus credit for saving my life.With it in my home I can handle odors and chemicals from other apartments and the outside.
Mine has been thru neighbors painting, and remodeling.I did have a break down with it and the warranty was honored.They even put an emergency tag on the repair so it was repaired faster.
The newer ones are so much more quieter than the old ones.When I got mine back from the factory I was constantly putting my hand on it to see if it was running.It was just so quiet.
This is one of the first items that I recommend for a chemically sensitive person to buy.
When the box arrived all I had to do was lift the box off and plug it in.It was so well packed I was impressed.

Vitamin C Handheld Showerhead Chlorine Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Unit a few months ago. I immediately noticed the cheap plastic connectors (alot of companies are doing this but this plastic was really cheap feeling). I give them credit for the metal hose though.I hooked it up and turned on the shower and water was flying everywhere from the shower pipe to where the Sonaki connected to it. I took it off and used even more plumbers tape and turned it on. Now, water just leaked from the spot so I left it like that (it shouldn't leak at all).

First impression:
Excellent water pressure and spray. I have poor water pressure and tried a waterpik handheld showerhead before that just didn't work well. The Sonaki showerhead has the best spray I have ever used-very good.

My hair felt softer and even though I wasn't happy about the leak I would have been more than pleased if.......
The cartridge lasted a month. It didn't. It lasted 2 weeks! This is just me showering once a day for 2 weeks. That would mean it would cost $200/year for cartridges. Not good. I liked the shower spray so much, however, that I decided to keep trying it out so I loaded the new cartridge that came with the Sonaki. I was surprised at how long this cartridge was lasting, the vitamin C wasn't going down much at all.

Then I noticed my hair and scalp were getting worse so I decided to check out the cartridge and found...........
There was no hole in the bottom of it! That meant water was going around the cartridge not through it. I compared it to the original cartridge and of course the first one had a hole in it, plus it was also a little bigger. Now, what the heck is going on here?

I happened to have also gotten a 5 pack of cartridges and checked them out. ALL of them had no hole in the bottom. Needless to say, back it went.
So, is this company scamming us? Is the company just incredibly inept with poor quality control? I was flabbergasted at what I had just seen.

I will add that if they improved the seal at the pipe, if the cartridge lasted 1 month, and if I didn't just see 6 out of 7 defective ones this would be a nice shower filter, so I gave it 2 stars for the spray power. As it stands, this is one screwed up company.

First, I need to point out the not-so-obvious fact that this is the stainless steel version of the "Water Distiller, Countertop, White Enamel" product sold by MegaHome/NutriTeam.

To make a long story short, I got this product last night and this morning I woke up to perfectly tasting distilled water.

For the long story...I read all the reviews for the white color version and decided this was worth a try. I placed my order by noon Friday and received the distiller just last night (Tuesday). I was anxious to test this distiller for myself because it might save me quite a bit of money if I could stop buying bottled water. The only negative reviews I'd read seemed to focus on the plastic or metallic flavor of the distilled water. The manufacturer suggests it can happen when new bottles smell like plastic. As soon as I opened the box, I searched for the plastic bottle to smell it. There was no distinct plastic smell that I could detect. One of the reviewers pointed out that your geographical location affects the mineral content in the water and thus can strongly affect its flavor. Living north of Philadelphia, water has a fairly neutral flavor and there's no high mineral content that I know about. Still, I filled the bottle with water filtered through a regular Brita filter I have connected to my faucet. Filling the bottle to the very top is exactly the amount of water required to fill the distiller container right to the fill line. Followed the simple instructions and started the distiller. It wasn't as noisy as I expected, however it's loud enough that you might not want to run it during a dinner party. (Makes good white noise if you need it.) It's supposed to take 4-6 hrs to distil one gallon of water. Warm water may shorten the process. Since I ran it overnight, with cold water, I have no idea of how long it took. That will be an experiment for the weekend. Come morning, the distiller was done and the water was surprisingly fresh and good tasting.

For those concerned about whether distilled water draws minerals from your body, therefore raising acidity levels, read about the benefits of adding pH Drops before drinking. Cheers!

November 27, 2006 Update:
--------------------------
I use this distiller almost daily and I'm still very happy with my purchase and very glad I got it. Water tastes perfect, whether I pre-filtered it or not. I was surprised another reviewer had problems with leaks, since I've none whatsoever. The unit makes a very useful white noise, which is better for reading than for conversation though it doesn't bother me (I usually run the unit at night). I have not noticed much difference in distilling time, whether I use hot or cold water. I do get a lot of mineral deposits left over. However, I can remove them easily with a sponge or with the solvent that was provided.

Sprite Massaging Handheld Chlorine Shower Filter Unit with Replaceable Filter pre-installed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have noticed others have said it doesn't filter the water as well as some other models. I can't speak to that statistic, because I have never measure the difference in water quality, though I would be curious to do that one day. All I can say about that is now that I have had mine long enough for the filter to quit working, I can absolutely see a huge difference in the time range (1) before I bought the filter, (2) when it was working at peak performance, and (3) after it ran out. My skin started to feel dry and my hair turned to straw, and the water just didn't feel as "clean" and soft - a clear indicator it was time to change filters.

Lastly, it's touted as a handheld showerhead, but my shower happens to be high enough and angled in such a way that I actually use it as a regular shower as well. And I love the fact that it has a good range of adjustable speeds.

I'm not sure about the claims of 6 - 12 months of filter usage. I was told by Sprite that the filters should be replaced every two months. Of course, that depends on how much the shower gets used - a single person versus a family of four will have different outputs. Specifically, it's supposed to be good for 3000 gallons, and uses 2.5 gallons per minute, so it's easy to calculate the projected life of the filter by how many showers are taken each day, and the duration of each shower.

There may be other filters that work better for cleaning every little thing from the water, and I would be curious to test them one day. But my skin and hair seem happy with this one, and for the price, I am happy too.

I also have to say I am very, very happy with their customer service. I went to change my filter for the first time last week, and the plastic portion where the two pieces screw together broke. It has a year warranty, so I called them, and they immediately called me back, were very cordial and helpful, and within hours, my new shower replacement parts were on their way. Two days later, they were in my mailbox, and I'm back in business. A business gets put to the ultimate test when things go wrong, and I'm very happy with the way my issue was handled.
