Whirlpool Water Filter

water filter

Whirlpool products can be expensive but it scratches out all those costs because of the benefits and convenience it have. I may not be a big fan of their products but one thing that I like the most is their side-by-side refrigerator push button fast fill water filter. I am currently using the 4396841 series.

Our guests really have sensitive stomachs, and we do have a lot of guests coming in and out. So instead of buying tons of distilled water, this water filter helped us saved a lot. It really removes any unwanted and bugs from your drink. Even the kids are safe from drinking it. So far, none of them had any stomachaches due to the water. I have managed to save a hundred dollars or more just by having this fast fill water filter than buying distilled water outside.

What I like about this series though is that it has this safety button letting you know if you have successfully removed and replaced your filter. You push a button to release the filter and when you have successfully replaced it, you hear another click. A trick I used since I you have to replace this filter twice a year is that I buy in threes or fours. This way it saves me a couple of dollars.

Cover for Weber Genesis Gas Grills

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

One thing that my wife Wanda nags me at is how messy the lawn looks because of my grills on one side. This is because I have two grills with me, one for smaller portions and the other one for big portions. The big one is my Weber grill, but its cover was lost a few months ago. So whenever it would rain, slops of water is inside and I have to tip it over and wait for it to dry before I can use it again.

So I decided to buy another cover and bought this new Weber premium cover. From first my impression, I like the black sleek but simple look of the cover, it makes the grill on my lawn look more elegant or presentable rather than a mess when not in use.

I like the straps on the sides as it adds to the perfect fit on my grill. Its material is high-class quality, as I can tell the difference from my old one, and it is more durable. I have it for a few months now and it still looks new like from the time I first bought it. The color didn’t fade at all and the threads were not loose unlike some products. It still fits nicely, and it is very easy to clean and dry.

Rapidfire Chimney Starter

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

fire starter

Whenever we go outdoors for an overnight camp, the hardest to deal with is getting a fire started or get our charcoals hot enough to cook some food and keep us warm at night. We used to pour some gasoline over our charcoal to start it quickly but we hated the smell. We have to wait for a few minutes before we cook something from it to avoid the smell clinging on to the meat or the soup.

One of my camping buddies Brian, brought this Rapidfire chimney starter Weber 7416 model. We were curious how it works so we observed how he would manage to start the fire with it. My gasoline was ready so I could give it to him in case it won’t start but I was impressed on what he did. He just shoved in a few dried leaves and paper, some vegetable cooking oil and filled it with charcoal. It was just around 5 minutes when it was ready and hot enough to keep us warm and another 5 minutes or so for it to be really hot to cook our meal.

I admired the steel canister it has and the handle helps to move it more easily. I brought one exactly like my friend Brian has and have been using it for 4 months now. Imagine all those years of mastering tricks to lit a fire or wasting time because of the smell of gasoline still lingers. This Weber Chimney starter sure is a best deal and a cheap one at it.

Get the genuine product from here.

Product Description
Outdoor chefs who prefer grilling the traditional way will find this chimney starter system invaluable. No more waiting around while the charcoal slowly heats up–the chimney’s durable aluminized-steel cylinder causes the flames to ignite each briquette quickly and evenly. To get things fired up, simply fill the chimney with briquettes, place crumpled newspaper or Weber Firestarters under the cylinder, and set in a kettle-style grill.

A touch of a match through the holes at the bottom starts the fire, and within minutes the grill’s ready to cook up burgers, hot dogs, or whatever’s on the menu. The chimney starter offers an extra-large capacity that can hold enough briquettes for a 22-1/2-inch kettle grill, and its double thermoplastic handle extends outward from a mounted panel to keep hands away from heat. For use on a grill or grate only, the chimney starter measures 7-1/2 by 7-1/2 by 12 inches.

Weber’s chimney starter makes starting your charcoal a snap. It also cuts down the amount of time it takes for the coals to get ready. Just load up our extra large cannister full of coals, light up a fire starter or crinkled up newspaper, and set the cannister over the flame. In a matter of minutes the coals will be red hot. Who ever thought it could be so easy?

WaterWheel Activity Play Table

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

water wheel activity

One great gift that you can give to toddler is a toy that they can appreciate, have fun, have two more playmates to join them in, and it is quite easy to clean. Wandy and I got this Waterwheel activity play table for our neighbor’s grandson for his birthday.

The things I appreciate from this toy is that it is light enough to be carried around to clean or drain the water from it but it is heavy and robust enough not to be moved and tilted by the little toddlers. It also has this waterwheel that the kids keep on giggling as they hold the cups included in the package to pour water in it to start the water spinning.

This was a more practical and wise choice since some offers a combo of sand and water but I could tell that it would become messy after every play. They could add more small toys along the side of the table and the kids could take turns playing with each one or play together to add water on the wheel on the center.

Imagine the relief of our neighbor when we managed to assemble it in less than 7 to 10 minutes and got most of the kids behaved and played in one area. Even the older kids got interested and started helping the little ones pout water and find small toys to go with it.

Maytag Cyst Water Filter

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

waterfilter

I know I have been writing a lot about the products and supplies I used but this one I just have to share. It really is economy wise and hassle free. I brought this refrigerator around four years back and I just had to share info about its water filter. This is because unlike my past refrigerators, I had to change its water filter once or twice a year, but my new one is not like that at all.

Our refrigerator uses this Maytag Puriclean II refrigerator cyst water filter. It was actually three years ago when Wanda asked me if we should changed the filter, since it’s been a year already. So I called up their customer service hotline to asked if what is the indication that the filter should be changed. We were surprised that the filter actually would last for two years based on the estimated gallons we use per day that the representative help us calculate.

Now it’s been four since and we have replaced this water filter twice even when we had a lot of people staying in and out of our home last year. Its capacity is just amazing and it’s economy wise. Replacing it is also easy, and the steps are not complicated at all.

Frigidaire 70-Pint Dehumidifier

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

dehumidifier

Our basement has always been a little damp especially when it’s the rainy season. Since we stock all our other equipment, and materials in our basement, a dehumidifier were always a must. Imagine when our last one goes haywire; the basement sure was damp and stink. We’ve tried all many types and kinds of dehumidifier but as always none of it managed to last that long or it was hard to figure out.

We just bought this Frigidaire 70 series and I was glad that it was not that complicated like the others I have tried. It’s been 6 months since we used it and it is running quite good as long as you follow what is written on its manual. Even its compressor is not showing any problems at all. You just have to be patient and clean it for maintenance.

We always like to have our basement at around 60 to 70 percent humidity, and so far it is doing its job quite well. Cleaning up won’t be a hard task if you put a hose on it leading to a bucket or can. The filter is also very easy to clean and doesn’t need to be checked daily.

Product Description
The Frigidaire FAD704TDP 70-pint Dehumidifier is an Energy Star Compliant 70-pint per day dehumidifier capable of continuous operation when the unit is located near a suitable drain.

Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

Ice cream maker

Wanda and I love to have dinner parties at our home especially during saturday nights. We usually have to make two batches of ice cream just so we have enough for everyone. That’s a big hassle and we decided to buy another Cuisinart ice cream maker as they now have the two-quartz edition.

We thought it was a good idea to buy it and use our smaller one when it was just us, and the two-quartz when there are occasions or parties at our home.

Our friends love the different batches of ice cream that we make – one batch was for the grownups which is healthier and light. But then we use the smaller one to make chocolate ice cream for their kids since there were only a few.

Just like the smaller one it just takes us around 30 minutes for the ice cream to be done, we even tried making frozen yogurt once. Although this bigger one is a bit noisy but it is far beyond not being able to tolerate it. It’s quieter than any blender actually; it’s more like a low chugging sound as it mixes the cream. It’s also easy to store since its foundation is square like, making it stable and fits almost any kitchen cabinets and spaces. It’s wire can easily be kept inside and washing it doesn’t require any much effort too which is a big plus.

Here’s where we got our genuine product from.

Ice cream maker

Cuisinart Central Coffeemaker

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

cusineart coffee maker

One thing I want first thing in the morning is my coffee. But then I don’t like scalding my tongue first thing in the morning, so I need to make coffee 30 minutes before I want to drink it. It was such a hassle. That is because my past coffee makers would always lack a thing or two of which is needed. Some lack the timer; some don’t have the temperature adjuster, and then it spills a lot even if it was not full.

So I decided to buy this new Cuisinart coffee maker online due to many people where praising its feature and it works like a charm. I wanted to test its features when I first got it, so I immediately made coffee at mid afternoon.

I have been using it for two months now and I just plain love it. It functions as if it was still brand new. Changing the filters was not tricky too. Now, I could set the time without many complications, set the temperature to what I want and the coffee that it brews is so smooth and the aroma tingles my nose. It was the perfect cup of coffee I want to start my mornings.

Here’s where we got the genuine product from.

cusineart coffee maker

Product Description
This state of the art coffeemaker lets you fine tune the process from filtering the water you brew with to keeping the brewed coffee at the precise temperature you desire. If you’re the impatient type you can grab a cup before brewing is complete (or program your coffee to be ready and waiting at wake up time), and if you tend to be forgetful, this appliance has auto shut off. Seems as though Cuisinart has covered all the bases in this deluxe coffeemaker.

Strikingly retro in brushed stainless-steel with black-plastic accents, this 12-cup coffeemaker includes Cuisinart’s best brewing technology and premium features for ease and flexibility. The digital clock/timer is programmable for automatically brewing “wake-up” coffee at a selected time and for turning off the warming plate up to four hours in advance. Removing the glass carafe from the warming plate automatically pauses the brewing process for a quick pour, and the warming plate’s temperature can be adjusted. For maximum flavor, the machine can be set to brew one to four 5-ounce cups or five to twelve cups, and it includes a charcoal water filter. For convenience, a permanent Gold Tone filter eliminates messy paper filters and an indicator-light shows when decalcification is needed. The coffeemaker measures 14-1/4 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 10-3/4 inches deep (including carafe handle) and carries a three-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream Makers

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin

Cusineart

Our kids love to play at our lawn most of the time especially during summer. And the one thing about summer is the warm weather, so ice cream was always a good way to get rid of the heat. Usually the kids have to wait for us to finish our daily tasks before we can start making their ice cream.

My wife asked her friends about quick recipes for ice cream so that the kids don’t have to wait long and they recommended buying Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream Maker and bombarded us with different recipes using fresh ingredients.

The first time we tried using it we had this doubt that it won’t work since all that was instructed to us was to freeze the bowl, add in the cream, close it with the chamber and press the button on. Then we just added in the other ingredients later at the end and in 20 to 30 minutes we now have our ice cream.

My wife absolutely loves it and has tried a variety of flavors, while me and the kids just love eating it. We didn’t use salt or ice but the consistency was firm and gets even better the longer we store it into the freezer. We then take turns cleaning up since the ingredients come off with just water due to its non-stick chamber.

Here’s where we got the genuine product from.

Hoover Tempo Widepath Upright Vacuum

Posted on June 16, 2010 by admin

hoover

Whenever Wanda would vacuum our carpet at the living room, it would be so noisy and the smell of dust keeps me sneezing. We had to go out of the living room and leave our household work undone since she was already sneezing.

I thought of buying another vacuum cleaner but Wanda said it is too expensive to buy a new one, and we could try wearing a mask but I know that won’t work much.

So I called up my friend Brian to see if he can recommend what vacuum cleaner I should buy but that won’t cost me much than my present cleaner. That’s when he introduced me to this Tempo Wide Path vacuum cleaner and brought Wanda and me to his house to check it out, apparently he was using one himself.

I was about to cover my nose to avoid the smell of dust as he turned it on but he just chuckled and told us that it has an allergen infiltration system.

Surprisingly, I didn’t smell dust rather a fresh clean smell filled the room. Wanda was taking the vacuum across his carpet seeing how it perfectly cleans and maneuvers around the edges and under the furniture without any problems at all.

I was even more shocked when it cost 3 times less than my current vacuum cleaner!

Now, we are having fun cleaning and sending those dust mites out of the house without much problems. The Hoover Tempo works just fine.

Product Description by the Company
The Tempo WidePath vacuum cleaner features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most.

Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air.

A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn’t leave anything behind. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach.

A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty.

Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! –Brian Olson.
