Watts Home Water Purifier Is A Five Stage Reverse Osmosis System
July 21st, 2017
Are you looking for a way to cut down on the money you are spending on bottled water? Does the water from your tap have a funny taste? One way to remedy these situations is to use a water filtration system. The Watts WP5-50 Premier Five-Stage Manifold Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System has a pre-filter, three post filters and an attached membrane. It has been NSF tested and certified. It comes with a three gallon tank and a water dispensing faucet to install at your sink. While the tank stores a great deal of water, it will take up quite a bit of room in the cabinet under the sink. The home water purifier filter system is fairly easy to install with the instructions.
As with any reverse osmosis system, it processes more water than it actually produces. The unit uses approximately four gallons of water to make one gallon of filtered water. One of the biggest complaints about this sink water purifier is the noise that is created when it processes the water. It does, however, provide fast production of good tasting water. For a way to have bottled water taste without the cost, consider a filter system for your home.

Waring Pro Juicer An Affordable Fruit And Vegetable Juicer
July 11th, 2017
Do you have a hard time getting the five fruit and vegetable servings you should have in a day’s time? If so, you may want to consider juicing which will give you the ability to choose your own ingredients. The Waring Health Juice Extractors has a brushed stainless steel outer housing that gives it a very nice look. It has cushioned feet to reduce vibrations and protect counter tops. The unit has a high-speed, 400 watt motor that is simple to use as it only has an on/off switch. While the outer housing is metal, the locking mechanism is plastic. If this piece breaks, it will not lock and the unit will not run. The compact strainer, pulp collector, lid, and juice collector.
Many online reviews have indicated this unit is very inefficient. The pulp retains a great deal of juice though many said they have had luck with running the pulp back through the machine a second time. The fruits and vegetables need to be chopped small to fit into the chute. While not the best machine, the Waring Pro Juicer is an affordable alternative to see if juicing will be for you.

Finally A Truly Heavyweight Fabric Outdoor Fire Pit Cover
June 26th, 2017
There is no better year round piece of equipment for the backyard than an outdoor fire pit. During the warm summer months it can serve as a fun way of cooking hot dogs and making s’mores over an open flame. When the cool breezes of fall roll in a fire pit is the perfect tool for staying warm while enjoying delightful fall weather. But with weather comes the possibility of damage to a fire pit which is why every fire pit deserves the fire pit cover. The outdoor fire pit cover is made of heavyweight gram polyester that is equally efficient at avoiding ripping and tearing as it is capable of avoiding cracking and fractures during severe cold weather.
Not only does the outdoor fire pit cover protect itself from the elements, it protects the firepit itself from the damaging effects of mold, mildew, and rust with its water resistant outer layer. Best of all the neutral color matches almost any color scheme for typical outdoor furniture and is machine washable when it gets dirty. Customers have been pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the outdoor fire pit cover given its shockingly low price. In fact few, if any, customers could find a negative comment to make regarding the outdoor fire pit cover.

This Baby Walking Toy Will Help Young Children Take Their First Steps
June 11th, 2017
If your baby is ready for toddlerhood, they might be ready for their first baby walking toy. The Plan Toy Baby Walker is a progressive tool designed to help crawlers progress to walkers. The walker features an adjustable handle and colorful wooden and rubber blocks to keep young ones motivated and moving forward. For baby walking toys this does get very mixed reviews. Some who have purchased and reviewed this baby walker claim that it was incredibly sturdy, well made and was just the thing for their 1 year old to cling to as they set out on their journey toward becoming full fledged walkers themselves.
One review I read mentioned that the walker was helping their child to develop the correct walking muscles. Unfortunately, this is where the good reviews end. An overwhelming amount of reviewers complained that the Plan Toy Baby Walker was much too lightweight and that their children constantly tipped over. Another con that was frequently listed was that the walker was nearly impossible for children to turn without toppling over. Perhaps one reviewer said it best when they commented that this walker would be great for any child who only walked in a straight line. If that is your child, this may be the walking toy for you.

Do The 3 Piece Farberware Wooden Cutting Boards Deliver?
May 26th, 2017
Wooden cutting boards are one of those kitchen staples that many of us take for granted. Chances are you’ve been using one for ages and haven’t had to shop for and purchase a replacement. If this is the case, consider yourself lucky, as the Farberware 3-Piece Wood Cutting Board Set proves that not all wooden cutting boards are created equal. Cutting boards are the ideal surface for slicing meats, produce and breads and can even be used for serving. These Farberware wooden cutting boards offer a 3 board set in varying sizes from the functional 17 ½ inches down to the petite 8 ¾ inch cutting board.
All three of the hardwood boards feature grooved channels that allow juices to run off of the board’s surface without spilling onto the counter, as well as a flat surface for dry slicing. The wood cutting boards have been designed with rounded edges and are attractive enough for table service. Unfortunately, after reading the online reviews from consumers who have purchased this set of Faberware kitchen chopping boards, serving may be what these boards do best. Many of those that submitted reviews mentioned that the boards came complete with large splinters that caused surface divots when removed. Others reported that the boards split in two after less than a year. The general consensus for this 3 pack of boards fits the old adage, “You get what you pay for” and in this case, that is not much.
