She likes cold water so I couldn't get a large Brita Filtration System. Instead I bought her the Brita Pitcher Water Filtration System in the Slim Model. This is the most compact system so the box tells me. — A Closer View — We used a Brita System for years until we got an outside water system on our refrigerator. I  found the water to taste clean. In fact we are told that it is certified to reduce chlorine; mercury; and lead. It has the Good Housekeeping sign of approval on the box. — Some Specifications — The Brita Water Slim Pitcher is 10.6 inches by 9.1 inches x 4.2 inches which fits in perfectly in her refrigerator. — Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty. — The Brita Pitcher comes with one filter. Filters should be changed about every 2 months.It came with a complicated sticker to help me remember when to refill it. — ...

The longevity of the produce doesn't really meet the extent they claim. But the product does actually help lengthen the life of your produce. Another benefit is that I take them with me to the grocery store and place my produce in them, instead of the plastic bags provided at the store. Less plastic for the...

Remove the aerator from the faucet. — 2. Install the appropriate adaptor onto the faucet. — 3. Install the filter housing to the adaptor. — 4. Insert the filter element. — — Simple enough, but the adaptor struck me as being a poor design during installation since it only has 2-3 threads to connect the adaptor to the Brita filter housing.  In addition, the plastic nut of the fitler housing felt "cheap".  At any rate, installation was a breeze and took only a couple of minutes.  As per the instructions, I prepared to let water run through the filter for 5 minutes to condition the filter and remove the charcoal dust.  That's when the...

They definately keep my fruits and veggies a lot fresher a lot longer. My favorite thing to use the bags for is lettuce. I like to buy whole heads of lettuce but by the time i get towards the middle of the head, the lettuce has already gone bad. When I put the lettuce in one of these bags, it keeps for almost twice as long! I would recommend this to all fresh fruit and veggie...

It was very easy to clean, and small enough to store in a drawer. The bad thing about it is that it is not very sturdy. I thought I was going to break it when I was trying to push the cheese thru. —...

My 7 year old son uses it all the time to open his own cans of stuff. — He used to constantly come to me for help with the cans of ravioli etc. Since we got this can opener, he does it himself. Thank you for a great product. —...

I have used them for 16 years and still love them. They keep everything fresh and also no bugs or ants. I would recommand that everyone buy these.

I use it multiple times every day at work. However, it is slightly dangerous. No guard for your hand makes it painful to hold the hot pizza in place and slice without cutting yourself in the process. — If you are very careful this is a great tool, but i think that better advancements could be made to it. —...

When I opened the box I found some pots that were out of shape.(the tops would not seat properly) I continued to use the cookware for about a year and a half. As time went by the cookware lost its non stick coating, and I have had to discard a few pieces for rusting. The pots are made of thin metal. (they dent easily and can be bent out of the origional shape) — — I would NOT recomend this brand of cookware to anyone.  Please be wary.  Evan though, they say the retail price is much higher than the sale price, it does not mean these are quality pieces. — — I was very dissapointed to find NO website for this brand. — No one to complain to. — No quality control. — — — BEWARE —...

My indoor allergies are much worse and I am most allergic to dust which is everywhere! I should be living in a bubble but I just plod along dealing with the symptoms. I saw Febreze Fabric Refresher, Allergen Reducer and decided it couldn't hurt to give it a try. It smells nice but I note no reduction in my allergy symptoms. — — About Febreze Fabric Refresher, Allergen Reducer — — This product comes in a 27.04 fl oz plastic squirt bottle. The claims are that the this product: — * Reduces up to 75% of Airborne Allergens from Fabrics — * Is Dermatologist Recommended — * Is Lightly Scented — * Contains No Phosphates — — The scent is typical air freshener scent, like clean linen. It's fresh but pretty subtle compared to other Febreze sprays. I was excited when I got my bottle because I had been having allergy...

You get more wipes than the Clorox Sanitizing wipes (or at least it looked that way to me).  They also stay wet and don't dry up as quickly as regular wipes.  However the squares are kind of small compared to the Kirkland's brand I buy at Costco, which are thicker and have texture.  Overall, these wipes are pretty...

It allows you to mix and chop things like ground beef directly in your skillet without getting messy!
