I first saw the flowise in a TV documentary about energy consumption and things alike. After trying a few of the lo-flow showerheads in my house (mostly because my wife likes the water really hot - and she would run out of hot water before the end of her shower) we were making do with them (we have 3 full bathrooms) - they weren't bad, but they weren't good either. FloWise is definitively a step up. Even in the "mix mode", it is still 2gpm, which is great. But the savings mode is good enough for a pleasure shower - and we now have enough left over hot water so I can shower right after her, if I want to - impossible to do before. I love the fact that once you turn the mix mode on (2gpm), it will automatically revert to 1.5gpm after you turn off the water - which is great, because she showers on 1.5, I shower on 2.0 (I use half the hot water she uses) - we would definitively forget to put it back, and she would probably end up with "warm water" at the end of her shower...

Less water. More performance. How refreshing! FloWise showerheads use American Standard's exclusive turbine technology to deliver an invigorating shower experience while saving water. These innovative heads can save a family up to 8,000 gallons of water a year.
Don't Give Up a Great Shower to Save WaterThe FloWise 3 Transitional Function Water-Saving Showerhead saves water, energy, and money--all while delivering an enjoyable shower. Bathrooms account for 75 percent of indoor water use, and showers are the third largest source of water waste. A family of four can save 8,000 gallons of water a year with the FloWise showerhead.

Perfect for LEED-certified projects, FlowWise showerheads are covered by a lifetime warranty on function and finish.

Turbine TechnologyFloWise puts a new spin on water conservation with an invigorating shower experience that uses up to 40 percent less water. First, water becomes pressurized as it flows into a small chamber. Then, the turbine (water wheel) spins the pressurized water, adding to the force. Finally, the showerhead disperses the water evenly, creating an energizing flow that feels refreshing.

Three Ways to Enjoy Conserving WaterThis three-function showerhead lets you decide when and how much you want to save. Choose from three distinct shower experiences that conserve water and energy without sacrificing comfort: turbine spray, full spray, and combination spray. A fully adjustable spray angle adapts to your individual height and body position.

Easy to use, FloWise 3 has an exclusive auto-return feature that reverts back to the 1.5-gpm flow every time you turn off the shower. This means you'll always start with maximum water savings--40 percent over standard 2.5-gpm showerheads.

DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner Review

DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the PAC600T (one step below this unit) from Amazon one year ago. When it arrived, I filled the tank with water, inserted it in the unit and my floor was covered with water less than a minute later. Turns out the unit's plastic base housing was cracked during shipment. Amazon replaced the unit, with the same results for the second unit. At that same time, there must have been lots of returns because Amazon stopped selling the unit. I stepped up to this unit with its slightly higher BTUs and hefty price.
The unit arrived fine, no leaks after filling with water, and I used it most of last summer (in a 14' x 20' room with average height ceiling). The unit puts out cool, definitely not cold, air. The only way to really use the unit is to get it started when the temperature isn't too high, then keep it running. I don't think it would be able to cool a warm room. It simply isn't overly powerful. That may have to do with the fact that it operates at 110 volt, rather than 220 like many AC units that are built into apartment walls.
The unit has been sitting behind my couch all winter. When I went to use it this year, the removable plastic water tank was cracked. It was emptied at the end of the season and not exposed to excessive temperatures, so I don't know what that's about.
I assumed that with the high BTU (and price tag), this would be the unit to use. But I'm going to try one of the less expensive units this year and check out its performance.

Thermostat,Electronic White-Rodgers 1F85-277 Review

Thermostat,Electronic White-Rodgers 1F85-277
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As the previous reviewer said, the temp is off by 5-6 degrees. Worse still, I got to my office (an animal clinic) to find the ACTUAL temp in the building to be 102 at 7:00 AM. The heater was running despite the fact that the A/C was the only thing on. (It was set to the snowflake symbol, only.) The thermostat was unresponsive to any attempt to shut it off. The only way to shut down the system was at the main breaker. The heat pump was inspected by an HVAC technician and determined to be functioning properly. Fortunately, no animals were harmed by this faulty device, but they were very distressed. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT!! I had mine replaced immediately with a Honeywell.

I have had two of these inverter/chargers powering my house for about eight years. One failed after four years and Outback Power sent me a new replacement no questions asked. I think this is a great product from an equally great company.

Sharp Ultrafiltration Water Cooler Review

Sharp Ultrafiltration Water Cooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this Crystal Quest bottleless water cooler w/UV system for our CPA office and it's been a royal pain from day 1...We had to pay 2 different plumbers to come to the office to professionally install it due to leaks and both commented on the poor quality of the connectors...We also purchased the Smart Valve to protect against potential leaks and it was so loud that we had to uninstall it...Crystal Quest said that can happen due to vibration and although it was loud, there was nothing wrong with its functionality...They did, however, issue us an RMA to return it for a refund...Approx 6-9 months after purchase, the cooler began to leak yet again...We spoke with Crystal Quest once again and they felt confident that it was the filters this time and our problem would go away once we changed them...They gave us 2 filters and charged us for the other 2...We installed the new filters and the leaks were worse than ever...So after $726 on the unit, $200+ for installation, $86 in new filters and numerous hours on the phone with Crystal Quest, we still have a useless, leaking cooler which we are literally ready to hall to the trash as Crystal Quest says that we are now outside of the warranty period...You would think a company would stand behind its products a bit more!!!
