Presto® PopLite® hot air corn popper

2010-06-12T04:19:00.000+08:00

Plug in Presto’s PopLite and the party begins. In less than 2-1/2 minutes you’ll have up to 18 cups--two large bowlfuls--of fluffy popcorn with virtually no unpopped kernels. And because the machine uses hot air instead of oil, the resulting snack is healthier and lower in calories. That’s not to say you can’t add butter; in fact, the 1/2-cup measuring cup on top of the popper doubles as a butter melter. Simply put in the desired amount of margarine or butter (room temperature is best), and it melts from the heat produced during the popping process. The clear plastic cover and cup, which must stay on during popping so the popped corn doesn’t fly all over the room, easily remove for hand cleaning with warm, soapy water. No other clean-up is required. While a few unpopped kernels spring out the chute as the machine begins to heats up, the chute does a good job of directing the popped corn into a bowl. The popper measures 14 by 9 by 6-1/2 inches, and is identical to Presto’s Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper except for color and logo.

Pops with hot air, not oil, for a healthy, low-calorie treat.
This popper offers a faster, healthier, and more economical choice than microwave bag popcorn.
Use regular or gourmet popcorn with terrific results -- virtually no unpopped kernels. Up to 18 cups of gourmet popcorn are popped in less than 2 1/2 minutes.
Butter melter doubles as a handy measuring cup. Chute directs popcorn right into your bowl.

My Personal Thought
This little popcorn maker is the best of making popcorn. You can make healthy popcorn without using any butter thanks to its hot air technology. It is a must have high tech home gadget in your house...

Dyson Air Multiplier - no blades, no buffeting

2010-06-12T00:14:00.004+08:00

The Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan works very differently to conventional fans. It uses Air Multiplier™ technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times, producing an uninterrupted stream of smooth air. With no blades or grill, it’s safe, easy to clean and doesn’t cause unpleasant buffeting.

Blades cause buffeting

The blades on conventional fans cause unpleasant buffeting because they chop the air before it hits you.

No blades. No buffeting.

Air Multiplier™ technology amplifies surrounding air, giving an uninterrupted stream of smooth air.

How it works

Air is accelerated through an annular aperture. This creates a jet of air that passes over a 16° airfoil-shaped ramp, channeling its direction.

Other advantages

No blades means the Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan is safe and easy to clean. It also has touch-tilt, 90° oscillation and dimmer-switch power control.

My Personal Thought
James Dyson produce very interesting product again. This blade-less fan is totally revolutionary product that you should be in your wish list. The only drawback is the price is not cheap...

Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum won Bestcovery Award

2010-06-10T15:38:00.003+08:00

Product Features:

Strong 5.5 amp suction with stretch hose cleans cars, upholstery, stairs
1 motor powers the revolving brush, second motor for suction
Onboard crevice tool; Riser Visor for carpeted stairs
Bagless filter and clear dust cup clean easily
Weighs 5 pounds; 20-foot cord wraps for storage

Eureka 71B Vacuum is hand-held but very powerful, this Eureka model eliminates the hassle of lugging around a full-size vacuum for cleaning car upholstery, sofas, and carpeted stairs. A long 20-foot cord (which wraps for storage) provides good reach, as does the deluxe hose that stretches to three times its length. With the crevice tool on the end of the hose, this vacuum reaches into all kinds of tight places. And, with two motors, one to power the revolving brush and one for suction, the 5.5 amp vacuum cleans deeply. One of Eureka's innovations is the Riser Visor, a clear plastic cover that stays down for cleaning horizontal surfaces and flips up so the revolving brush can reach the vertical carpet on stair risers. There's no bag to change, just a filter and clear plastic dust cup to shake out when necessary.

Product Description

Remove deeply embedded dirt from anywhere in your home or car. Ideal for cleaning stairs and auto upholstery, this hand vacuum cleans with the help of a revolving brush roll with Riser Visor, a stretch hose and attachments for getting into tight spaces. The on board crevice tool gets into those places too small for the brush roll.

This vacuum also won Bestcovery Award.

Eureka 71B Hand Held Vacuum
Best Hand Vac Overall

Why it's best:
Handheld vacuums are often purchased to eliminate pet hair, and this one is perfect for the job. The Eureka 71B will restore your couch and other furniture to a fur-free state. It's much more convenient than lugging around a full-size vacuum and portable enough to carry around the house or outside to vacuum car upholstery. The removable hose makes it very versatile. An excellent handheld vacuum at an affordable price.

My Personal Thought

I love hand held vacuum. I think that this is suitable for everyday use. The design and technology used in this vacuum is impressive. Dyson will not be very happy about this...

Portable Far Infrared Sauna Kit That Burns Calories In 30 Minutes

2006-08-14T18:25:00.002+08:00

Traditional method of burning calories is by exercise whether by jogging, poer-walking, swimming, cycling, aerobic dancing or general aerobic workouts. I also prefer this sort of activities because it’s free. Another ways to burns calories is by using Health Mate portable far infrared sauna kit. They claim that their far infrared sauna can burns calories in only 30 minutes.

Other benefits of using far infrared sauna is the deep penetrating heat also stimulates the heart to send more blood to the body cells to increase blood circulation, which improves many symptoms. The heart beats harder and faster, pumping more blood through the dilated blood vessels, thus achieving the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. This is a valuable system for those who don't exercise and those who can not exercise, yet want an effective weight control and fitness program, along with the benefits that regular exercise bring.

My Personal Thought
This new sauna technology by using far infrared that will burns calories in 30 minutes will change the current sauna. I think that Health Mate provide a high tech home gadget that is portable, easy to set up and highly beneficial to our health. You can get it for $3500 for a single person unit, to $8250 for a five-person unit. A very high price for me to buy.

Solar Power Cell Kit House - Sharp 'LumiWall'

2006-07-28T19:48:00.000+08:00

Imagine a roof that looks like shaded glass by day, but by evening is transformed into an illuminated array of white LEDs. Sharp's LumiWall promises to do this, and it's powered entirely by thin-film solar panels inside the glass.

My Personal Thought
Solar Power Cell Kit House - Sharp 'LumiWall' only available on 2007. I think this product would be a benefit to skyscrapers, maybe industrial buildings, and maybe greenhouses, but we doubt that any people will install in the roof because you have to take off the ceiling. If not, what the use of the white LED?

Roomba Robotic Floor Bagless Vacuum - iRobot Roomba 4230 Remote Scheduler

How Roomba Cleaning System Works?

Roomba features a patented 3-stage cleaning system that is proven effective.

All of the dirt and debris is deposited into a large capacity, easy-to-empty bin.
Roomba's cleaning head automatically adjusts to any floor surface including wood, tile, linoleum and low-to-medium pile carpet. Roomba can even sense dirtier areas of your floor and will clean more intensely there.

Roomba automatically calculates the appropriate cleaning time in any situation. Roomba will cover every part of the room an average of 4 times per cleaning cycle, and because Roomba cleans under furniture and other obstacles--Roomba actually cleans more of the floor than standard uprights. Roomba will even return back to its self-charging Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
To start a cleaning cycle, simply press the clean button and Roomba immediately begins calculating the size of the room, the number of obstacles in the room, and the cleanliness of the room. Roomba automatically monitors its environment and adjusts its behavior over 67 times per second.

When Roomba start cleaning, it will calculated the the room condition like wall, cliff, size, obstacles and many more situation for optimum cleaning. Don’t woory about stairs and other cliffs, Roomba have a cliff sensor so that Roomba will turn away from such problems.
