I switched from coffee to tea a few months ago, purchased this unit and am completely happy with it ... I can't recommend it highly enough. It's well made, ergonomic, well thought out, and a joy to use. The Japanese think of everything. A Japanese friend of mine told me that homes in Japan almost always have one of these units, or one like it. Now that I drink only tea, I can understand why.

The three temperature settings (well, four if you count boiling) are perfect. 208 is good for herbal teas, tissanes, and also the increasingly popular (and wonderful) Rooibos. That's also a good temperature for ramen, oatmeal, etc. 195 is good for black tea and also oolong, and 175 is good for green tea or white tea. Now, you can make gourmet tea properly with no muss and no fuss. Just get yourself some gourmet loose tea, herbal tea, or Rooibos, (all available from Garrett, Adagio, or Teavana), and a convenient brewer, like "IngenuiTea" from Adagio (Teavana also makes a good one that might be slightly better in quality), and you will be good-to-go! Your taste buds will thank you and so will your body. (The health benefits of green tea and oolong are well-known, and also Rooibos has 30-50 times the antioxidants of green tea, and no caffeine). My blood pressure has dropped 20 points with less caffeine (compared to caffeine in coffee, black tea = 20-25%, oolong = 10-15%, green = 5-10%, white = 1%, rooibos and herbal = 0%).

Buy a Zojirushi! You won't be disappointed.

I have always been a tea drinker, and after my last tea kettle broke (again!), I did some looking and came across this pot. It's not a cheap pot, but I blessed the day it came into my house. I can't boil the pot dry--it would shut down anyway, and this was important. It really does dechlorinate, so when I start to taste a little chlorine in the water again I empty the pot out and refill it completely, which takes care of it. For as much as I use this pot, day in and day out, a number of cups of tea a day, I appreciate it every time I use it. The water is always piping hot (I really hate tepid tea) when I want it, no waiting for a kettle to boil. It has a 7 hour timer so it can be turned off at night and when I get up in the morning there's hot water waiting. I could wish it had been priced a little lower, but I would not want to sacrifice the quality for a lower price.

UPDATE: I've now had this pot close to 5 years. There is now one small spot of rust about the size of a pinhead just starting in the bottom of the pot, but the rust spot has looked about the same for 6 months now and is not progressing. I'm starting to look into the possibility of replacing the pot, though, in case it does start to enlarge. So far this small spot has not affected the functioning of the pot in any way. It still does the job, day in and day out, every single day of the year. I will certainly buy another one when I need to replace it, the "cost per year" is much cheaper than replacing tea kettles that break too often, plus I have the convenience of hot water waiting for me every morning. I still love this pot!

Just bought this pot. It is amazing. I'm going to use it at work where I have to go down stairs all the time to boil water. I can fill this on Monday and it should give me on-demand hot water for three to four days right in my office. It makes it easier to drink more tea.

This hot pot is pure Japanese. Everything has been cleverly thought out. It is well contructed and it works great. The panorama water level indicator is very cool. Don't worry about the non-stick coating, it's safe. There's a slight learning curve to using the pot, but it becomes intuitive very quickly. This pot is meant to be left on continuously, but you can shut it down for seven hours with the timer feature.

This is a great item with Japanese quality and inovation throughout. I highly recommend it.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi CD-LCC40 Micom 4.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot

I bought this for my wife in lieu of installing an instant hot dispenser. I choose to write a review today, because for the third time in 6 years, I traveled to my parent's house to replace the under sink instant hot.

I clean the tank about twice a year. We are lucky to have great water here and rarely get buildup in the tank. For 5 years this pot has kept hundreds of gallons of water at 208F without a hiccup.

If you need hot water in an instant, this pot is for you. My wife drinks 3 cups of tea a day. I make a cup of instant coffee every morning. That's approx 8500 times this little gadget has given us water and it looks brand new, inside and out.

I don't know of any other product in my home that I would call bullet proof, but this one is. Buy it, enjoy it for years

IH Portable Induction Cook Top Review

I have used one of these units for about eight months, and it performs as advertised. I also have a lesser valued IH cooktop, that does not work as well. My complaint is that no where in the product reviews in any of these IH cooktops, does it give the slimmest explanation of what's 'under the hood'. How many elements are hidden beneath the glass top, or where,exactly, they are located. This is like buying a car, without any idea of how many cylinders it has, or what else might be included, or lacking. The manufacturers are getting away with grand and glorious words to describe their products, with nothing to back up their claims.

Reviews of SPT SH-1509 Pedestal Ceramic Heater

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $189.99
Sale Price: $87.94
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

I've been using this tower heater/fan since October and I've had a fairly good experience. It's basically the taller version of the "SPT SH-1508 Tower Ceramic Heater with Ionizer." The SH-1508 was too short for my tall bed and adding an extra foot to the height in the SH-1509 made is ideal. It heats up my mid size room pretty well.

When I first got this product it looked like it was in good condition (the box definitely wasn't though). But it seems that there's a little bit of blurred area on the front inside of the remote control signal receptor. But that area is a black background with a red light covered by the transparent plastic so I can't really tell the blurred plastic cover anymore unless I look closely.

The fan was very quiet when I first got it. I am a very light sleeper and even the smallest sounds can wake me up, and I slept through fine when the heater went off. However, about a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the fan, when especially oscillating, makes a vibrating noise. Pretty unfortunate since it makes the fan noisey now I might have to take it apart to see if anything came loose.

Besides those two things, I really have no complaints except the shape of the heater itself. It's not symmetrical as I expect most products to be. It's really not a big deal but it might bother the odd ones like myself.

PROS:

Tall

Multiple settings: High, Low, Fan (although very week) and Auto (I always use this setting heater is set to go off when the adjustable temperature is reached)

Quiet

Remote control this is one of the best features

Neat and clear blue screen

Space-efficient

CONS:

Wasn't in 100% prestine condition when I first got it.

Something came loose and now makes a vibrating noise only after 2 months of use.

Fan is weak I can't feel any cool air unless I'm directly in front of it.

Overall, I would recommend that other people who don't want a stubby heater like the SH-1508 should get the SH-1509. It's pretty much the same fan around the same price but taller. If it weren't for the vibrating noise that suddenly happened, I'd give it five stars.

Definitely worth the extra $$. I use this space heater in my office and it works wonderfully. Heats the 12x12 space quickly....and best of all it's super super quiet!

Heater is great for the money. heats up quickly, fan is a little loud for the living room but overall great item. i would buy another one if i needed it.

Honest reviews on SPT SH-1509 Pedestal Ceramic Heater

This is a great little heater/fan. It puts out a lot of heat and only takes up a minimal amount of space. The remote control is an added convenience and I like the safety/shut-off feature when the heater is moved. The only negative is in trying to get the device to fan only; I wish this had been a separate button on the remote control as it is somewhat difficult to see/read from the distance that you would use the remote.

This was a great heater for the first year I used it. It heats quickly and the fan with oscillation distributes the heat well. I do feel the cons out weigh the pros. As some of the other reviews have stated when you change a setting on the heater it does make a rather loud beep sound, the heater fan is a little on the loud side in general, if you turn off the heat and just use this as a fan, it really does not move very much air, and lastly it only lasted for two winters which I feel is not very long for something in this price point. Currently it heats for about ten minutes and then the heater element and fan just stop working and I have to disconnect power for several hours and it will work for another ten minutes.

Review of 18x25x1-MERV 12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure (Box of 6)

Customer Ratings:

I have been shopping for a MERV 11 or 12 or better filter for my air conditioning unit on Amazon, and narrowed it down to two competitive products:

1) 3M Filtrete Micro Allergen Reduction Filters, 1000 MPR, 6-pack, $70.49

2) Nordic Pure AC Furnace Air Filters MERV 12, Box of 6 (This product), $50.33

In order to compare these products, I collected the following info for myself and for others that read my reviews:

MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. It is a number from a test method designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The number is intended to help people compare filters. Generally speaking, a higher MERV rating indicates better filter performance. Filters with a merv rating of 9 to 12 are used in commercial and industrial applications and will stop particles in the 1 to 3 micron range. These filters are a great choice for home owners who want the best dust control possible.

1000 MPR is equivalent to MERV 11. 1000 MPR Performance Rating captures:

1) Airborne micro particles, including smoke.

2) Airborne allergens, including pollen, pet dander, mold and bacteria.

3) Large particles like dust and lint.

MERV 12 is a better rating than 1000 MPR. It captures:

1) Legionella,

2) Humidifier Dust,

3) Smoke,

4) Copier Toner,

5) Rigid Cell Filters,

6) Face Powder,

7) Paint Pigments,

8) Insecticide Dust

Pleated Air Filters Are Among The Top Performers In The Heating, Ventilation And Air Conditioning industry. Electrostatic furnace filters are becoming very popular with home owners who want to achieve better air quality in their homes. These air filters are designed to replace any type of panel filter or frame type air filter you currently use in your heating and air conditioning equipment.

Nordic Pure manufactures pleated air filters with MERV 12 and MERV 13 ratings which means it is over 97 percent efficient. This is a very high rating for pleated filters. They are able to attain this very high rating by incorporating electrostatic characteristics in the pleated design. Another factor that makes their filters appealing is they don't support the growth of bacteria, fungi or mold and they capture 97.8% of the microscopic airborne dust, pollen, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria and particulates carrying bacteria and viruses in the air.

On top of that, if you compare the prices, this product is a winner. And this is free shiping! I can't find another seller that is any better than this!

After installation I feel my indoor air is fresher, and air quality is better. Also seemed like the AC unit didn't have to run as long before it stopped. This is to compare my memory of the old and probably semi-clogged filters.

I am happy with this product. No regret. I am planning to replace it every 6 months.

Over the years, my wife and I have used many different filters. We haven't found any that worked any better than this one, and many that were much worse. AND none competed at the price. I'm going to be reordering when the box we have now runs out. I'm particularly impressed that these filters don't give way as dirt collects on them. They are sturdy and remove dust and dirt effectively.

Best Deals on 18x25x1-MERV 12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure (Box of 6)

I have been using this filter brand and size almost a year now and am very satisfied and so I am writing a review because the product deserves it. I noticed that the Air Conditioning runs about 15 minutes to drop the house temperature one degree when the outside temperature is colder than the inside temperature. When the unit runs 20 minutes or longer for a degree of temperature drop and/or the filter looks slightly gray, I change the filter. For my size house, I have to change the filter about once a month. I waited 6 weeks this time and the filter was gray.

Also the air quality in the house is better with the Merv 12.

Since the filter sizes are 17.5 inch x 24.5 inches x .75 inches and I wanted a tight fit into the slot, I used Duct Tape to seal the filter off into the slot. The space was small and hard to work in and I wanted a tight fit with the filter, so I tried something else and it worked well.

I bought through Amazon.com a bag of Low Density Foam Tape Weatherstrip with the following : 1/2 in x 3/4 in. x 17 ft. I lay the filter on the bare floor, and run the stripe so the adhesive holds to the filter frame of the filter. It take less than a minute to do it. The Filter now has a foam rubber stripe around the sides of the filter frame that will slip into the slot of the A/C and Furnace. It now takes less than 15 seconds to insert the Nordic Filter into it proper place in the air intake side. Using the Duct Tape was a 15 to 30 minute job and the seal was not as good as the one I am getting now. Removing the filter now is also very easy: it takes about 5 seconds.

The irregular size was what originally brought me to Amazon to try to find some furnace/AC filters, and these are better than anything I could have bought elsewhere for less money. The filters seem high quality and the MERV value is unbeatable for the money. I will definitely order again. No more trooping back and forth to some store trying to find the right filters!

These filters are sturdy and provide excellent filtering. I live on a farm, so there's always a lot of dust coming into the house. These filters capture a lot of it, so not nearly so much is getting into my A/C system. Because it's summer and very hot, I've been changing the filter about every 15 days, no problem. Very good choice for your A/C.

Discount Vornado TVH500 Whole Room Vortex Heater

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $179.99
Sale Price: $159.95
Today's Bonus: 11% Off

Pros:

Runs very quiet

Heats room well and quickly

Has a fan-only option for the summertime

Blue LED screen turns off after several seconds (good for nighttime)

Turns off after it reaches desired temp (I saw that some heaters only switch to the low setting)

Doesn't glow

Cons:

Beeps every time you press a button (not good when you are using it in a room where someone is sleeping)

Thermostat is off by at least 4 degrees (says the room is 73 when my other two sources say it is 69)

Not totally cool to the touch, as it says

No remote (for $150 it should have that)

Clicking sound when it turns on/off wakes me up sometimes

Overall, I am relatively happy with this fan, and after reading reviews for others it seems like this one functions just about the same and has the same pros and cons. However, most of the fans of this type run about $100 cheaper, which is leading me to consider returning it.

This is a relatively small fan, and relatively quiet. It is not silent though. Overall, it's a good fan, except that it is way overpriced.

You pay for the LCD screen, and digital controls. The problem is that the LCD is tiny, and worst, it looses all setting if turned off or unplugged. Each time you have to select the temperature, the mode (heat/fan only), etc.

To top it all, it lacks a remote control. At this price, this is quite an omission.

I'll return mine at BBuy and get a cheaper version.

I bought several of these to replace the 35-year-old wall heaters in my house. They were the same voltage and almost the same size, so switching them out was pretty easy. They've worked great for about a year now, with no problems.

This heater produces a pleasant stream of warm (not hot)air. That was exactly what I was looking for. I also wanted a heater with a sealed heating element rather than one with an exposed wire coil as it might create a slight fire danger. This particular model does NOT include a thermostat. I control it with a 24 volt relay and a Honeywell wall thermostat. It looks good in the master bath and is very quiet. Installation is quick an easy if you are comfortable doing line and low voltage wiring. Otherwise, you might want to call a licensed electrician.

AMAZON processed the order very quickly and it was shipped via FedEx Smartpost. It arrived TOO soon, actually before I had my wiring ready for it.

I found that there is not much information about these wall heaters. I was most concerned about the noise level as I've heard some heaters previously that make whirring or buzzing noises.

Rather large heater for a minimal amount of heat, and mine is wired to 240V. Also, brand new out of the box it spends the first 2 minutes loudly rattling every time it's turned on. Then it finally settles down and is pretty quiet....
