The Sharper Image

I really can’t tell you how long I have been looking for something that does a better job of cooling than a fan, but at the same time doesn’t wreak havoc with energy bills like the standard home SC unit. As such, I also can’t tell you how happy I was to come across the Tower Fan with Air Ionizer by Sharper Image, I recently took ownership of.

We don’t exactly live in the newest of houses I admit, which means that when the summer comes around the whole inside of the place heats up like a sauna. I’ve never been bowled over with the idea of running the AC nearly 24 hours a day just to keep us all alive, but at the same time we’ve never really got a great deal of relief from standard fans. I ended up trying out the Tower Fan with Air Ionizer after taking the advice of a friend that recommended it and am happy to say I’m glad I did!

First of all, I couldn’t quite get over the size of the thing when it arrived – I know the site told me it was 48-inches high but when you see it in person you realize what a beast it really is! And of course, it’s this large size that enables it to do such a great job – which it does. It makes such a difference to the temperature of the room that I found we have been using the AC so much less than before and our bills are steadily creeping in a more desirable direction.

And if that wasn’t enough, it also uses ionization to improve the overall quality of the air in the room, so you’re not only cooler but healthier to boot!

I realize there will be plenty of folks out there that just aren’t happy unless their homes as cold as refrigerators all through the summer, but as far as I’m concerned this is a far better substitute that’s better for your pocket and the environment too.

Pros:
Well aside from the fact that it does such a great job around the home, I love the fact that it has already saved us plenty of money on our AC bills. It’s also brilliant in its design and the upright build means you can fit it into pretty much any corner around the home and it won’t be knocking into anything as its oscillating.

Cons:
We have no problems with the fan, it has been working great.

Final Notes:
If you’re looking for a happy medium in the same way that I was, take it from me when I say you have found it in this thing!

I have looked at this product and researched it for many months before finally deciding to purchase one. I purchased this product for my husband to use in our over crowded closet. It was a good price and I scored free shipping. It was mailed to me very quickly and was packaged nicely. I wrapped it up to give to him for his birthday. After he opened it, we installed it in no time at all. It does hold alot of ties and takes up very littel room in our closet. I do not like that it is a bit noisy and loud, which caused me to hear the tie rack moving if I am in our bedroom. I am not sure if I would purchase this again for the money spent. I know my husband does like the fact that his ties do not get crushed in our closet and that he can see all his ties very quickly. He can now buy more ties to have a wider variety of choices to wear with his suits and not be hunting for space for them. He can easily find what he is looking for with the touch of a button.

Pros:
easy to use and install. Takes up very little room.

Cons:
I loved this product - it is a bit noisy and loud.

Review Title: Baby Air Purifier:

Our new grandbaby is coming to visit and both my wife and I are so excited – his name is Daniel and this is the first visit for him to our house.

Daniel is 10 months old and is my daughter’s child. They live in Ohio while we live in Massachusetts. Daniel has had a bit of a rough few months, as he was born with lung problems, so he spent the first two months in the hospital. After his lungs got more fully developed, his health got much better and now he is ready to start taking some trips.

But Daniel has to be in air that is as pure as possible. So, two weeks ago I ordered a Baby Air Purifier from Sharper Image. This unit has advanced air purification technology to offer a very comprehensive system of air cleaning solution, which offers a healthier environment for babies. This machine has a four stage HEPA filter that removes asthma irritants, allergens and other sub-micron particles from the air and cleans areas of up to 700 square feet by every 60 seconds drawing in as much as 125 cubic feet of air. It removes most of the things that babies might have problems breathing.

So, Daniel is getting better and is coming to see Grandpa – and I couldn’t be more excited. We have been to visit him a lot - but now he is ready to come and see where Nanna and Pawpa live. There is something so special about your first grandchild, especially when it’s a boy – and he is named after me. Big and little Daniel! Sounds good doesn’t it.

They aren’t coming until May 1st but I got the Baby Air Purifier early just in case there was a problem and it needed to be exchanged. But it seems to be working well – I even breathe better when I set in that room.

Maybe I should get another one for the living area. I need to think about that – it would help while Daniel is here and also help me and the wife with better air. I think that is what I am going to do – order another one today. It will be delivered in 2 days. So, that sounds like a good plan to me – I want only the best for that grandbaby!

Pros: This has a 4-stage HEPA air cleaning which cleans very large particles to medical grade HEPA and stage 4 which is the activated military carbon cloth. This is advanced air purification for areas the baby is in and is designed to protect babies from air contamination. This is great for grandparents wanting to improve air environment, especially in the nursery. It protects the baby from the dust, gases from furniture and rugs, outside industrial gases, dust, pollens, and molds.

Cons: None that I have been able to find.

Amount Paid: $400.00

Purchase Date: April 22, 2013

Final Notes: This is probably one of the best air purification systems on the market with the unique 4-step technology. It is perfect for using in the nursery area of a baby who has any problem with lungs or breathing.

The 2-in-1 Jewelry Cleaner from Sharper Image:

The item is the 2-in-1 Jewelry Cleaner that I bought a few days ago for cleaning my jewelry items from the Sharper Image website. I had been searching for a good appliance that could help me in keeping my jewelry items neat and clean, but was not having any luck in finding any. All of the appliances that I had seen for this purpose were either too expensive or did not provide the effective cleaning service that I wanted for my precious jewels. One day a friend of mine told me about the Sharper Image website and asked me to search for a good jewelry cleaner there.

Following her advice, I instantly logged on to this website and started looking around for the product I had come here to buy. After a few minutes of searching, I was able to locate the 2-in-1 Jewelry Cleaner and fell in love with it straight away. It was a wonderful appliance that provided me the chance to clean my jewelry item by myself. It had a two stage cleaning mechanism which involved the use of ultrasonic waves and highly pressurized steamfor scraping away the dirt accumulating on the jewels.

The thing that I loved the most about this product was how beautiful it looked and how handy it was. Moreover, the extremely affordable price was another feature of this cleaner that grabbed my attention and convinced me to buy it immediately. I placed an online order for this item on the website and gave them my address, so that they can deliver it right to my door step.

This item was shipped to me by the website on the same day I had placed the order for it. When I took the cleaner out and used it for the first time, I was so relieved to find out that it was not so hard to use as well. In only a few attempts I was able to learn a lot of the operations that I could perform with this appliance on my own. To test the device, I entered my diamond ring in to it which had lost its shine due to the accumulation of a lot of dirt on it. I was so pleased to see that when the ring came out after being cleaned, it was shining just like it had shined when I had bought it.

In a few hours’ time, I was able to clean all of my jewelry items through this device using only tap water. It was so easy for me to handle this appliance that I became a master of its operations after only a few days of use. I would recommend this innovative jewelry cleaning machine to every woman who loves her jewels and wants to keep them in pristine shape.

The Sharper Image website from where I purchased this device is a very well-designed website having a nice and elegant layout that is very pleasing to the eye. The presence of ample white spaces on the website makes understanding the content on the website an easier proposition for the customers while the smartly lined drop down menus help them in finding the product they have come to look for on the website.

The thing I liked the most about this website was its outstanding security measures that convinced me about the safety of my private information and ensured me that no one will be able to use this information of mine for his own benefit.

Pros: The 2-in-1 Jewelry Cleaner is an outstanding and very useful appliance that can provide effective cleaning services for all your jewelry items. It combines two cleaning methods usually used for cleaning dust and grime from diamond, gold or any other form of jewelry namely steam cleaning and ultrasonic waves cleaning. It is the one and only jewelry cleaner of its kind that is available in the market.

Cons: Having used this product, I have to say that it has no problems associated with it. I found it to be a very effective cleaning device that gave me the desired results and kept my jewelry in tip top shape. So, I have no complaints about this product.

Amount Paid: $199.99

Sharper Image:

I purchased the 8021SI juicer from Sharper Image. When I decided that I needed to lose a few pounds, I thought that a juicer could help me with my daily caloric intake. As someone who hates fruits and vegetables, the idea of a juicer appealed to me. While I have purchased several electronics from Sharper Image, I was unaware that they sold juicers. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical.

During a conversation with a close friend, she told me about a juicer that she had purchased from Sharper Image. At first, it sounded to good to be true. Over the years, I have witnessed my parents struggling with juicers. Either the fruit did not fit properly, or the juicer left large chunks in the juice.

After looking at all of the various juicers from Sharper Image, I bit the bullet and purchased the 8021SI. Since I do not have a retail location near me, I purchased the juicer online. To my surprise, my ordered arrived within a week. When my order arrived, I wanted to try it out as soon as possible. Luckily, I had some oranges in the refrigerator. Unlike other products I have ordered online, the juicer from Sharper Image came fully assembled. In a matter of minutes, I was ready to make my first glass of orange juice. During my first attempt, I had a difficult time getting the spout height just right. With a little practice, I quickly became a pro.

Since purchasing my juicer, I have lost over 10 pounds. Now that may not sound like much, but I have done very little dieting. Not only have a lost weight, but my kids are now enjoying healthier drinks. I am no longer spending money on expensive fruit drinks. Best of all, the sugar my children were consuming has been cut in half. I have even been able to add a few more vegetables to their diets.

Pros: The 8021SI juicer comes fully assembled. No tools are required. The stainless steel material matches any kitchen. Juicer takes up very little cabinet space. Unlike other juicers, the 8021SI has a very quiet motor.

Cons: Larger pieces of fruit have difficulty making it through the shoot. This can easily be remedied by cutting the fruit in half. The spout does need adjusting before use. Some pulp remains in the juice. Can be a bit difficult to clean.

Amount paid: $79.99

Purchase date: March 1, 2013

Purchased: online

Final notes: This juicer is great for anyone looking to add more fruits and vegetables to their diet. Sharper Image is a great company to do business with. Great return policy.

Review Title: Nano-Coil Air Purifier Filter

Title: Nano-Coil Air Purifier Filter

Review Body: About a year ago I bought a Nano Coil Air Purifier because this advanced technology using Nano-Coil filters eliminates up to 0.5 microns of contaminants in the air. The Nano Coil Filters need to be changed every 18 months and I just got my new one this week. Since I have the purifier system in my office and bedroom, I have hardly had any problems with my allergies, but when they do it can make me miserable.

I have had severe allergies for years and I live in an area of the country where allergies are very wide spread and almost every family has someone who has problems with allergies. Eventually I had to start taking allergy shots every week and that lasted almost 5 years.

I live in an apartment that has central air, but it is really now warm enough to be running the air conditioner and besides just having central air is not getting all the pollen out of the air in the apartment. This is why I bought a Nano Coil Air Purifier.

I really do enjoy the fresher, cleaner, and much healthier environment that this air purifier gives me. The state-of-the-art Nano-Coil technology gets almost all of the contaminants out of the air and this Nano-Coil is five times better than the HEPA is for cleaning very microscopic particles. HEPA has been the best technology until Nano-Coil came along.

Also the Nano-Coil Air Purifier is sleek and space efficient. The purifier boasts a triple filtrating and elimination process. It only needs to be plugged into an AC outlet and that sets the LCD electronic control panel to start, so I can enjoy the fresh air. I could tell the difference when I first got the unit – but now I am used to it. Before I got the new filter, I could tell that it needed to be changed as the staleness in the air was beginning to come back. After changing the filter, my pure and healthier air is back again and I will be good to go for spring through the summer and fall.

The unit has a remote control for convenience in changing the settings – I am spoiled I know. The wonderful, replaceable, and recyclable filter last for 18 months. They are a little more expensive, but changing the air conditioner filter every month cost about the same.

I am gradually going to put Nano-Coil Air Purifiers in almost every room because it is not only fresh, it is very stylish and actually looks like some high-tech piece of stereo equipment. I am so enjoying breathing the cleaner, healthier, and fresher air in my environment thanks to the triple filtration and the Nano-Coil filtration system.

Pros: Only needs to have filter replaced every 18 months and these filters are recyclable. It is part of the Nano-coil Air purifiers with triple filtration system.

Cons: None

Website Experience: This Nano-Coil filter and the air purifiers were all found on Sharper Image website. SharperImage.com offers visitors a state of the art website for a shopping experience that has been called by many as ultimate and unique.

Final Notes: Nano-Coil Air Purifier and the Nano-Coil filters are great for making the air in your home fresh, pure, and healthy. This is probably the best air purifier system that you could buy and the filters only need to be changed every 18 months. If you live anywhere there is a lot of pollen in the spring – this is what you need for your home.

I was pleased to see a lot of the same type of stuff as well as a great selection of new items. This time I bought myself something instead.
