Cuisinart DCC-2200 Brew Central 14-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Cuisinart DCC-2200 Brew Central 14-Cup Coffeemaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this coffee maker after too many days of being the family's late riser and finding the coffee pot already drained. I have been using this pot for a couple of months now, and I am more than pleased with my purchase. This pot does hold more than the standard 10- or 12-cup coffeemaker, a great feature in a family of coffee-drinkers.
I had hoped to find a coffee-maker with a removable water reservoir to carry back and forth to the sink, which this model does not have, but even so, I give this model five stars for the excellent coffee it makes. While I have to lift the coffee-maker down from the shelf on which I keep it in order to fill the reservoir, its internal clock remains accurate even when unplugged for the short while it takes to fill the reservoir.
Some folks here have complained about the beep signaling that the element is being turned off. Even after several cups of coffee, my nerves aren't so high-strung that I even give the sound a second thought. It's quite innocuous, IMHO.
Perhaps owing to the water filter, this pot makes excellent rich-tasting coffee. It seems to brew just long enough to make perfect coffee for most folks' tastes. For stronger coffee, I can make fewer cups and use more ground coffee. If I'm really in need of a strong cuppa, I'll simply use my French press. I have never had the ground coffee overflow the filter doing this. Also, the heating element seems set to the perfect temperature, since I have never had a cup of coffee from this pot that tasted burnt...and on a number of mornings, I have barely gotten up in time to hear the beep signaling the end of hot coffee.
Best features of this machine--absolutely drip-free pot, unrivaled pure coffee taste, large capacity pot, variable settings for when the heating element will turn off, and an internal clock that retains settings with short interruptions of power.
Improvements that could be made--I wish it had a removable reservoir, but the one pot that I have used that had that feature made the worst coffee I've ever made at home, not to mention the leaky pot.
If you're not looking for espresso, but just a clean, pure cup of good coffee...even when "Early Bird" isn't your middle name, I think you've found what you're looking for in this machine.

Enviracaire E10 Digital Humidity/Temperature Indicator Review

Enviracaire E10 Digital Humidity/Temperature Indicator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We own four of these little hygrometers. I've found them to be accurate -- all are within 1-2% relative humidity of one another when placed next to each other (in general, hygrometers that are within 5% of each other are considered pretty accurate for low-cost, consumer-grade hygrometers). I have them dispersed throughout the house, so I can verify the temperature and humidity in each room.
The price is pretty reasonable, too. I like the look of these units, and their simplicity. The only "option" you can select is whether the temperature is in F or in C.
The first one we bought two years ago, and the battery is still going strong. I haven't checked the type of battery, though, to see what will be needed when replacing.
With this little tool, it's been easy maintaining the humidity in our house between 40-45% year round with the aid of three humidifiers.

Timex Heavy-Duty Program Timer Review

Timex Heavy-Duty Program Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this timer to control a little crock pot I want to cook soup with for 6 hours before I return from work. It works OK. Be aware, though, that the resolution is only 1hour. You can set each hour of the day to be either ON or OFF. My main gripe with this item, though, is the override wheel. It's a plain red wheel that toggles on and off 4 times. In other words: turn the wheel 1/4 turn, and it turns off - turn the wheel another 1/4 turn, and it turns on - turn the wheel another 1/4 turn, and it turns off again - turn the wheel another 1/4 turn, and it turns on again. There's no light to indicate whether or not the override switch is set to ON or OFF. So, if you spin that wheel an unknown number of times and then plug in your crock pot which also does not have an ON light, you have no idea whether or not your timer is turned on. If it's OFF, you're going to come home to cold, uncooked soup. I had to bring over a little desk lamp to ensure the override switch was set to ON.

Timex Easy-to-Set Electronic Timer Review

Timex Easy-to-Set Electronic Timer

I bought five of these units about six months ago and used each as a timer to prevent my cordless phones from overcharging. I have five Panasonic cordless phones stationed throughout the house and they really only need to charge about 3 hours per day, rather than 24 hours per day.
Six months later, not one -- not one -- of them is still working. They all died within a few months of use.
This is junk. Don't buy it.

The colors of this clock make it very difficult to view both the minute and hour hands. Maybe if the hands were painted pink it would be easier to tell the time.

ZEBRA Wall Clock animal print home bedroom decor gift Review

ZEBRA Wall Clock animal print home bedroom decor gift
Average Reviews:

As a Zebra print clock, it's very cute but the materials are cheap looking and construction is shoddy. Mine had broken hands and a warped paper background when I got it, but even if it had been in working condition it's only worth about $5.
