Designed for use in an array of GE refrigerators, this Insignia™ NS-MWF-1 filter keeps dispensed water clean by effectively removing contaminants. Tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI standard 42 for materials and structural integrity requirements.
Posted by: the715
My fridge had the older GWF GE model filter still, and it was time to finally replace it. Once I finally realized that this was the new, updated version of the same filter, I decided to try this one instead of the GE model (money is money, and this was a lot cheaper!). Installation was easier than I was expecting. The water flow was significantly faster and better than the GE one, which means that I don't have to wait for five minutes to fill a glass of water; nice change!
The water tastes better than the now defunct GE filter, and comes out clear. I've got no complaints.
Not sure about the other reviews that claim that it's a bad filter. Mine is great.

Make delectable hot drinks with this Dualit 84460 3-in-1 espresso machine, which accepts pods, capsules and ground coffee, so you can prepare espressos, cappuccinos, lattés and more. On-demand thermo block heating lets you begin brewing right away.

I purchased this maker when I decided that my old Mr. Coffee espresso maker just wasn't cutting it anymore, and I wanted something a bit nicer. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it looked nice and it was on sale.
The learning curve was short, and I was able to make significantly better coffee than I previously was able to. The option to use pods or ground coffee is great for when I feel like being lazy and not grinding my own coffee, too.
Is it the same thing as a $3000 professional grade espresso machine? No, of course not. Does it work well, produce nice espresso, look nice and is easy to use? Yes, absolutely. If you're looking to upgrade your current machine, or venture into the world of having your own espresso, I'd recommend looking at this one. I've got no complaints so far, and you'll be happier spending a little more on a machine like this versus spending less on a Mr. Coffee-type maker.

Philips Friends of hue LightStrip Luminaires 259499 Starter Kit: Trim, bend and attach these versatile strips to your fixtures and furniture to create mood lighting and draw attention to decorations. The wireless bridge allows you use your phone to change colors, schedule gradual dimming and more.

After returning my defunct WeMo light strips, I decided to try these.
It took a little while for them to be detected by the bridge and app, but they work fine now and look great. I receive compliments anytime people see them. If you're looking for little accent lighting strips, I'd recommend these.
My only criticism, and the reason they're getting 4 stars, is that you can't connect numerous strips like you can with the WeMo, and it's only one length. You can cut them to fit, but once you cut them you can't use the separate piece again and you're just out that section.

Pass on this one and get the Philips Hue strips.

I got a couple of these strips when I decided to start doing some little things around the house. The product does look great, and the expansion opportunity is great...but, that's where the positive ends.
I got everything where I wanted it, plugged it in and it turned on. Great.
Followed the instructions, then, to get it connected to my network and apps. Nothing.
I've spent numerous hours trying to get these to connect, and still have come up nothing. Tried numerous devices. Different network configurations. Different locations. Nothing. It won't detect them anywhere, and it won't connect to the network.
I returned it and tried the Philips Hue, which worked immediately. If you're looking at these, consider looking at the Hue strips, instead.

This product is amazing. I wanted to try a smart thermostat and went back and forth between this and the Nest thermostat. I was initially sold on the Nest, because...well...it's the Nest. Then I saw that this one has sensors that you can place around the house. SOLD.
Setup was really easy. The product looks great. It's intuitive and robust. The only issue I had was recently it lost its connection to my network, and I had to unplug the thermostat and plug it back in for it to reconnect. Small inconvenience, but it seems to be working fine again.

I strongly recommend this thermostat, especially if you want additional wireless sensors to place around the house.

I don't entertain often, but this thing was a nice addition to my kitchen line up. It looks nice and feels like it's high-quality so far. Just be aware that it is oven safe, but not at high temperatures and not for an extended period of time.

Pleasantly surprised; awesome product.

I figured I would try this one after using the perfect drink product since they're by the same company. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I'm not much of a baker, but was pleasantly surprised. I honestly expected the included bowls to be cheaper quality and flimsy, but they were actually very solid and thick-walled. They all have non-slip grips on the bottom, and a nice pour-spout. I actually use these bowls for everyday use, whether or not I'm using the app.
The first thing I made using this was banana bread, and since I don't have the loaf pan recommended, I had to use the app to scale it up to a much larger size. It turned out incredible and my coworkers and friends loved it.
I can now safely say that this product is as awesome as the drink one. If you're looking for something cool and useful, I recommend checking these out! The included bowls and scale are worth the $49 price point, alone!

Kick up the flavor a notch with this Spice Union Smokin' Chic rub. The 3-oz. container of all-natural seasoning brings just the right amount of smoky flavor to poultry, whether it's grilled, roasted or fried. Coat your bird with this Spice Union Smokin' Chic rub before cooking to achieve a delicious, gluten-free crust.

Randomly came across this stuff and saw it was only a few bucks, so why not try it, right?
It comes in resealable bags rather than containers, which is why it's so cheap, I'm assuming. That being said, I bought a few of them and with a cabinet full of premade spice rubs like this I find myself constantly using the Spice Union stuff. The quality is a lot higher than I expected.
I'll be purchasing more of the mixes shortly, and recommend them to all of my guests and friends. Give them a shot!

I purchased this product after seeing it on the internet. I have nothing bad to say about it. The product is fun and easy to use, continuously updated and actually makes incredible cocktails. The shaker is actually pretty good quality, as well. Everyone that I've shown this to is impressed and buying their own. Highly recommend!
