Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up 40 fluid ounces of water, the equivalent of five 8-ounce glasses. The sleek design makes for effortless transport, refilling, and pouring.
Reduces Impurities and Cuts Down on Chlorine Taste
The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to special sponge-like filtration system.
The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.
All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.
Improves Your Health and Invigorates Your Senses
Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you're drinking is in top quality. Proper hydration helps your body control temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and transports nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human wellbeing and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized.
A Simple Way to Support the Environment
It's estimated that one Brita pitcher filter can substitute for the use of 300 water bottles, many of which end up in landfills. By using Brita filters, which are now recyclable through a Brita and Preserve filter recycling program, you lower your impact on the environment while benefiting your own health and possibly your wallet, too. Plus, your support of the Brita Products Company goes toward helping environmental efforts like the Brita Climate Ride, a five-day bike ride whose participants raise money for climate change awareness.
About The Brita Products Company
The Brita Products Company is a leader in the production of freestanding water-filtration systems designed to improve the quality of drinking water by reducing its impurities. Heinz Hankammer, the company's creator, realized the need for enhancing the healthfulness and taste of potable water in 1966.

The company is named after Heinz Hankhammer's daughter, Brita. As a corporation, Brita is committed to community and environmental outreach through projects like FilterForGood.com, a campaign dedicated to the reduction of bottled water waste.

Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900
This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don't need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling. For cleaning stairs or upholstery, this deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots. Other attachments include a bare floor nozzle and a powered hand tool that is also ideal for upholstery or small carpet areas. All tools are mounted on the front of the vac in a handy case. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 27-inch wraparound cord. The Hoover SteamVac is covered by a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

16" Oscillating Stand FanThe Juicing Bible
For years nutritionists and health practitioners have urged North Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Why? Because these foods are low in fat, and are important sources of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Yet many of us -- even the most health conscious -- still don't consume the recommended 5 to 10 servings a day. So what's the solution? For some people, the answer lies in vitamin and herbal supplements, both of which have enjoyed explosive sales growth over the past decade. But recent research suggests that whole, natural foods are still the best source of nutrients. And there's no easier or more effective way to add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet than by juicing them. Now, with The Juicing Bible, there's a new and comprehensive source of information for anyone who wants to explore the health benefits of juicing. Here you'll find a fully illustrated reference documenting the nutritive values and healing properties of over 100 fruits, vegetables and herbs. There's also a special section that addresses 60 common health conditions -- with prescriptive advice for using specific juices, as well as beneficial dietary and lifestyle changes. And, of course, there are the juicing recipes themselves -- over 350 of them, including flavourful juices (sample a crimson cleanser or beta blast), smoothies (try the pump it up or cool down), tonics, bitters, coffee substitutes and healing teas. With helpful sidebars, health tips and preparation techniques throughout, The Juicing Bible is jam-packed with information. It's a BIG book and it's an essential guide for anyone who wants to explore all the nutritional benefits that natural foods can provide.Pat Crocker is a culinary herbalist and professional home economist with more than 25 years experience.

Do Your Homework When Buying Kitchen Appliances
If you are remodeling your kitchen, then chances are you are planning to buy new kitchen appliances. These new appliances will accent the room and fill the needs of the family. You can look at outlet stores as well as appliance stores to find all the matching appliances in one area. With all the different colors, sizes, manufacturers and types of kitchen appliances needs, you have many selections to choose from when shopping. This means you will have to do your homework and make your selections well.
Major Appliances
The kitchen always needs a refrigerator and a range, and you want them to match each other. When looking for these major kitchen appliances, you have to decide between built-in and a freestanding model. Think about which refrigerator model suits your design better. The stove likewise could be a counter top stove with a built-in oven somewhere more convenient, or a freestanding traditional range with oven under a 4 or 6 burner cook top. Definitely go for a built-in stove if you want the convenience of two ovens.
The dishwasher and trash compactor are considered major kitchen appliances as well. You can have these match the refrigerator and stove for an overall unified color scheme. Both the compactor and the dishwasher fit under the counter top, however, they both come as freestanding models as well.
Kitchen Appliance Combination Packages
Shopping around for the best price from different manufacturers on individual appliances is a good idea, but when you buy a kitchen appliance combination package the value is usually much better. A combination package will include dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven and refrigerator. They will all match and be the same brand and style. This way the appliances will integrate very well into your new kitchen. This is the best deal when purchasing kitchen appliances, but be sure that the kitchen appliances that you are getting are quality, reliable products, and you aren't getting stuck with what is left in the warehouse.
Compare Kitchen Appliance Options
It is really worth the time and effort to compare kitchen appliance options. One of the most obvious reasons that you should take this time is because you will be able to get the best quality and price.
The first thing to check out is the quality. After all, if the product is poorly made then it really does not matter how much you are saving, because you will end up paying more when you have to make repeated repairs or buy the appliance again.
Do a brief background check on the manufacturer. See how long they have been in business, and research online whether they regularly have complaints. You can ask around among friends and coworkers for input as well.
Reading kitchen appliance reviews is the best place to start before making large investments. There are different types and sources of kitchen appliance reviews that will offer a big picture. Many sites offer expert kitchen appliance reviews, which look at most products from a technical point of view. They can provide insight to the potential for repairs needed, and how easy it is to find a service center, and what it will take to install and use the product.
Other sites provide reviews and opinions posted by users of the product. Consumer based appliance reviews are sometimes not completely objective, as people will interject their disappointment in the product into the review. For example, in looking at a review for a particular item, if the unit received great reviews on operation, ease of use, performing as promised, and the company's response to problems, then take with a grain of salt the reviewer who absolutely hates it. When looking at kitchen appliance reviews it pays to look at more than one website.
An important consideration in comparison shopping is the Energy Star rating. This gives you a rough idea how much the appliance will cost to run. Some kitchen appliances have many wonderful features that may use a lot more gas or electricity. Evaluate the cost of use with the price of the appliance. When looking at Energy Star ratings, be sure to compare apples to apples, that is, make sure the unit of measure you are comparing on two different units is the same.
Armed with your information on manufacturers and styles, the last step is to make a list of the different stores in your area that offer the particular kitchen appliance you are looking for. Compare the suggested retail prices given by the different stores, and take note of which is the lowest.
Kitchen Appliance Colors
In the 1960s the latest in kitchen appliance trends turned its back on classic white appliances, adding such colors as avocado and sunburst orange and yellow. These days the range of colors and textures for these appliances are endless. You have your choice of black, white, off-white, red, navy, stainless, and black glass. Not to mention expensive, custom color choices.
Stainless steel is now one of the most popular finishes for appliances. Many people appreciate the aesthetic appeal of a stainless steel kitchen appliances as well as their ease in keeping clean. Not only do they reject fingerprints, but they fit in better with any kitchen color scheme.

Picking Kitchen Appliances - A Few Things to Remember
After moving out into a first apartment or home many individuals and young couples realize that they do not have most of the kitchen appliances that they have previously taken for granted. When living at home or with friends it is easy to get used to having a blender or electric can opener at hand when you want or need to use it. Moving means starting over and often starting out by purchasing several items that you do not have. Before you run to the local electronic retailer or start browsing around online it is important that you keep some things in mind to avoid a small disaster.
For starters, decide what look you want your kitchen to have. This might seem silly but maybe you have gotten used to having all black appliances or perhaps you have always dreamed of having a kitchen decorated primarily in red. Whatever your decoration plans are you should have them firmly established before you start spending money. There is nothing worse than investing in an expensive, black, coffee machine and then deciding that you really want nothing but pink and white appliances. Pick a color scheme and stick to it so that you do not regret any purchases. These days it is possible to find appliances in nearly any color but if you are someone who is looking for a quick deal or who does not care about exotic colors, only uniformity, stick to black, metallic, and white kitchen appliances.
Once you have determined what color appliances you are looking for decide how many kitchen appliances will actually fit into your new home. The size of kitchens and storage space varies from place to place. While you might have lived in a home or apartment that could comfortably store a large number of dishes and appliances your new residence might not have as much space.
Go through your kitchen carefully and find out how much cabinet space you already have. If you own dishes or a few appliances put those away and see how much space they take up. Then determine how much spare room you have and make a list of the kitchen appliances that you actually need and will use daily or weekly. Always start with the necessities before you indulge in purchasing that indoor grill you've always wanted.
Lastly, invest in the best quality of kitchen appliances that you can comfortably afford. Many people make price the deciding factor in purchasing appliances but this can often lead to disaster. While a $5.00 coffee maker might seem like a great bargain and perfect idea if you use this coffee maker every day or multiple times each day you will notice that a lower quality coffee maker can deteriorate quickly. The same holds true for any small kitchen appliance. Instead of getting the cheapest coffee maker purchase the best you can afford so that you can use it as often as you want without fear of malfunction. As surprising as it might see investing in cheap kitchen appliances can end up being much more expensive overtime when you find yourself constantly replacing or upgrading them.

Eco-Friendly Kitchen Appliances - Make Your Kitchen More Earth Friendly
The DOE and EPA use the energy star program to promote the sell of eco-friendly kitchen appliances. Most of us have seen the yellow stickers with the energy star logo, but do you know what those stickers mean? For an appliance to qualify for an Energy Star, it must utilize between 10% and 66% less energy and/or water, than other models. However, it can not compromise the quality of the appliance or dismiss added features. This is one of the best ways to know the most eco-friendly appliances, and which use the least amount of energy. However, here are some additional tips on things to look for in appliances:
Stoves & Ovens
Induction - A cast iron or stainless steel pot is placed above the induction coil of the stove. This excites the molecules in the pot, and produces heat. Note: the process does not work with glass pots, and aluminum lessens the efficiency. Induction cooking is not only more energy efficient, but faster too. The induction cooker only heats the pot directly over it. It does not heat the air, or stove surface around it. Induction cooking has an efficiency rate of 84%. Typical gas cookers are around 40%. This is one of my favorite eco-friendly kitchen appliances.
Hybrid Solar Ovens- Solar ovens reach temperatures of around 400 degrees. Total solar ovens do not require any electrical energy. They solely rely on the suns solar energy. A Hybrid version works on the same principle, but has an electric backup, for when solar use in not available.
Fridge and Freezer
Side by side refrigerators use about 10% more energy than a top and bottom option. Avoid ice makers, as they use electricity to produce ice. Also, avoid automatic defrosters and heaters. A refrigerator accounts for about 15% of your total electric bill. So, if you can not buy all of your eco-friendly kitchen appliances at one time, get this one first. Read the yellow and black "energy guide label." It will tell you how much energy each brand and model uses.
Dishwasher
Dishwashers use about a sixth of the water and soap, and about half of the energy, that washing by hand does. Look for a dishwasher that has a booster heater & on/off for electric dryer feature. You may think that the smaller motor will lessen the energy usage, but going with a larger motor will keep the dishwasher from running a second cycle. Smaller motors do no have the spray power to clean heavy soiled dishes. Also, look for water efficient models. Some of these use half the water of a regular dishwasher and have auto sensors, that determine how dirty dishes are.
Keep in mind- the price of eco-friendly kitchen appliances may be higher, but it will not take long to recoup the additional cost of the appliance. In 2006, energy star appliances saved consumers fourteen billion dollars on utility bills. Energy guide labels are required on all appliances.

Three Easy Ways to Accent Your Kitchen
Kitchen is one of the most important areas in your home. It is where most of the eating takes place, and we all need to eat to survive. By the transitive property, we all need kitchen to survive. Alright, that might be pushing it too much, but the point is that kitchen is one of the most important areas in your home because eating is such an important aspect of our life. Adding the right colors in the kitchen, then, pleases not only the eyes, but also our appetites.
Fortunately, because of the proliferation of kitchen materials in recent years, adding colors to the kitchen has never been easier. Years ago, when you wanted to add color in the kitchen, your options are limited to painting or wallpapering walls. Appliances came mostly in white, beige, or (gasp) ghetto avocado. Now, we can find cabinets, fixtures, and appliances in a wild assortment of colors. And, these are three easiest ways to accent your kitchen within a few days.
1. Kitchen Fixtures
This may be a total surprise for some people, but kitchen fixtures, including sinks and faucets, are now available in a wide variety of colors. Years ago, it was either white ceramic or metal silver. The best part is that replacing kitchen sinks and faucets is relatively easy and inexpensive. Homedepot.com has some of the best selection of kitchen fixture designs and colors. By the way, high gloss black cast acrylic is quickly becoming one of the most popular colors for kitchen fixture because it is easy to clean, easy to maintain, and easy on the budget. Plus, the high gloss color literally shines.
2. Kitchen Appliances
While some may consider buying replacement appliance when the old one is working perfectly fine to be a waste, the truth of the matter is that newer kitchen appliances are also a lot easier on electricity and water. Of course, those are not necessarily easy on the wallet, but that is subject for another discussion. Replacing kitchen appliances is typically a little more expensive than kitchen fixtures, but still a relatively easy task, compared with repainting walls and kitchen cabinets. As with choosing all color accents in the kitchen, you will want a color that lasts. Stainless steel is a timeless choice for modern style kitchens, but there are also special selections for fashion aficionados, such as the Swarovski-studded refrigerator in pearl white, glossy black, or chic red.
3. Kitchen Cabinets
A variety of bold color choices are now available from many manufacturers. However, bold colors tend to get old faster, and replacing the entire kitchen cabinets can be an expensive proposition. If you must go with the newer bold colors, the best compromise is finding cabinets that can be repainted. Kitchen cabinet materials also come in a wide variety, each capable of adding a different style and flair, in addition to a different color to your kitchen.

Small Kitchen Appliances - From Kettles to Coffee Machines
You may not think that small kitchen appliances should be given much thought when it is time to purchase a new one because they are smaller and generally inexpensive in comparison to major home appliances, which are generally larger and static in that they can not be moved all that easily such as fridge- freezers and cookers.
But small appliances are very important as they give the finishing touches to your kitchen and are things that you probably use the most. And not all small kitchen appliances are the same. With the rise in such clever technology over the last couple of decades there is a great deal of choice. There are still standard appliances available that do exactly what they say on the tin, but some small kitchen appliances have some rather clever features to make your life little bit easier- maybe even luxurious.
For example, Siemens' Porsche Design kettle is cordless, saving you space and keeping counter tops clutter free, but it also includes a range of safety features. The kettle automatically switches off when removed from its base, automatically switches off when boiling is complete and has a safety locking lid so it can not open when pouring and scold your hands. Boiling water can be very dangerous and with most accidents occurring inside the home, the kitchen is somewhere that you do not want to be cutting corners.
But kettles are pretty regular as far as small kitchen appliances go. For real luxury, why not invest in something a bit more novel such as an ice- cream maker or a coffee machine? For real luxury De-Dietrich's fully automatic integrated coffee machine will give you that real coffee aroma throughout your home. It has a maximum volume of 2 litres and can hold 300g of coffee beans. It has a coffee bean holder and grinder and is touch control with a cool blue light to give your kitchen a modern glow, fitting in especially well with a contemporary glossy black or stainless steel themed kitchen. But luxury does not come cheap and although this is a top of the range specification coffee machine, it will set you back by over £1100, depending on where you buy from.
So what can you get for a bit less? Well, if you look at the other end of the spectrum, you can still get a nice looking small kitchen appliance that has plenty of features. The Whirlpool built in coffee machine costs just under £400, which is a far friendlier price tag if you are a bit strapped for cash. The water tank capacity is slightly lower that De- Dietrich's at 1.5 litres and it only takes ground coffee and pods, not beans. It is also slightly more compact and is only semi- automatic compared to De-Dietrich's fully automatic option. This small kitchen appliance is made from stainless steel which means that it is easy to clean and looks sleek and modern and there is a good £700 shaved off of the price tag to boot.
Of course, both manufacturers offer alternative coffee machines of varying specifications and prices and you should have a look at all of them carefully before deciding on which one is right for you.

Kitchen Appliances - Stainless Or Colors
Appliances are an integral part of your kitchen. And you would be surprised to know that kitchen appliances sum up to about nine percent of your total kitchen budget. What's more surprising is that this percentage is considered very low taking into account the advancements made in technology which render a high level of energy efficiency to all the appliances used these days. But a common man like you and me is more worried about the looks of these appliances and whether they add a dash of sparkle to your kitchen or not.
Those interested in stainless steel will be glad to know that because of its professional look, kitchen appliances made of steel have been growing in popularity. While choosing stainless steel appliances first of all, you should decide your budget and see what you can afford to buy. Then you should look for appliances that match the interiors of your kitchen.
Stainless steel however has different grades. And hence, not all kitchen appliances made from this metal will have the same color. There may be presence of a bluish or a gray tinge especially in case of home appliances which have a higher amount of aluminum in them. And it becomes even more important if your kitchen is small or your kitchen appliances are placed next to each other.
You should also take a look at the sides of your appliances. In case you have purchased an expensive kitchen appliance, there are chances that the sides will be made up of stainless steel. But if your appliance is from the moderate or low range, then the sides are vinyl and not stainless steel. Black and gray are the two colors in which vinyl is available.
Also you should keep an eye on the brush designs of your stainless steel kitchen appliances. There can be differences in the patterns and will be quite obvious when the appliances are all places side by side.
Now talking about the latest color trends in kitchen appliances, mostly bright colors like red, orange, pink, yellow, blue and green are favored. But the classic favorites are the white kitchen appliances after which comes the number of black. This is because white can counterbalance all other colors around it.
At the moment, according to the opinion of the experts, yellow is chosen as the top color for all small appliances. Because yellow is an eclectic color that has a retro feel to it, it takes us a back to the world of insouciance. Whereas red displays lustre and gloss in combination with a little tint of orangey browns.
But at this point, blue is the world-beater because it stands for comfort and peace of mind. But putting all these colors together is a very tough task. But it can still be accomplished by simply choosing colors which suit the eyes. Contemporary style homes can do with white small appliances which look refreshing by having stainless steel in the backdrop. Whereas warm homes can get that retro feel by making proper use of browns, whites, or neutrals against bright colors like yellows and greens.
Finally, the decision as to whether one should use stainless steel or color kitchen appliances rests completely on the shoulders of the person looking to decorate his home.

Black Kitchen Appliances - Sleek, Sophisticated, Serious
Black is the new black in the kitchen fashion world. In many cultures, the colour black is symbol of authority and modesty and is a sign of due respect. In Japanese culture, black is a symbol of nobility, age and experience and a black belt is a mark of achievement and seniority in martial arts such as karate and judo. But even in the UK, Black Tie functions are a type of sophisticated and smart gathering, black also denotes prestige- many limousines are black and traditionally our police cars were black and white, demanding respect and authority.
Black kitchen appliances certainly demand and earn that respect. The simple uniform colour looks sleek and modest in a wooden kitchen and blends in perfectly with dark wood surfaces, but also contrasts brilliantly with opposite colours such as white and even stainless steel cupboards and worktops. Black is a truly versatile colour.
Most top kitchen manufacturers offer a choice of black kitchen appliances, including refrigerators and freezers, cookers, dishwashers, washing machines and even wine coolers amongst others. There are a couple of options available to you if you want to redesign your whole kitchen with black appliances. You can obviously buy the whole appliance, but depending on your budget, there is an option to cheat in some cases until you have the money to buy the real thing. Some manufacturers have begun to produce black frames for appliances that you may have already purchased. This is not available in all cases and it depends upon the appliances that you already own, but here is an example.
Kitchen manufacturer, Smeg, now offer a black microwave frame to fit a range of their microwaves at around £100 or just over, which is great for people with microwaves that have already gotten damaged or for people that fancy a change to a black kitchen appliance. Linear also do something similar. They now offer a black microwave cover to match all the Linear Series ovens. This model has a stainless steel trim on black glass and a smooth gliding lift door with a hydraulic hinged lifting system and costs just under £330.
Black fridge freezers are becoming more and more popular and Smeg offer an American style model amongst others for just under £2000. Rangemaster's Kitchener range of cookers are available in black and come with heavy duty black cast iron pan supports- the twin oven dual fuel model available at just under £2000.Even taps are now available with black controls making it even easier to coordinate the whole kitchen. Smeg GENOA's chrome tap with black joystick control also has a swivel spout and an aerator and has a market price of around £200.
There is no question that black is back. And your black kitchen appliances will never go out of fashion because they will fit in with whatever future styles you may have in mind too. Black is no longer a boring colour. It is a colour to be admired, enjoyed and respected. Make sure that you can find a manufacturer who can provide you with all the black kitchen appliances that you need and not just some of them to get the full impact of the complete style.

Organize Your Kitchen With a Space-Maker Can Opener
Kitchens have evolved drastically over the past few decades. What were once spaces with simply an oven, a stove and a bunch of cooking implements have now turned into complete home and food management centers, fully equipped with such revolutionary appliances as dishwashers, microwave ovens, food processors and can openers. As the number of such conveniences grows, however, it follows that these conveniences have to take up less space in order to have more countertop space to work with. Thus, it is becoming more and more of a wise investment to spend for compact yet effective little kitchen appliances that help to make the entire task of food preparation quicker and easier than ever before. Enter the small yet very nifty space-maker can opener, and the many benefits it can bring to your kitchen.
The space-maker can opener, true to its name, saves you some valuable space by being very portable. It can be mounted easily under any cabinet, leaving the better part of your countertop available for either more appliances or simply for more workspace. In order to make things as convenient as possible for this mounted device, the space-maker can opener can be operated hands-free: no more need to have to use both hands to open a can, making the entire task much quicker and easier, perfect for when you have to be doing two or more things at the same time. No need to worry about the can opener not being able to open bigger and thicker cans as well, as these machines are usually operated by powerful motors that are able to pierce through the metal of practically any can. This is an additional benefit for those people who like cooking, but have the handicap of weak hands that might have some difficulty with opening cans manually.
In addition to being a powerful device for opening cans, a space-maker can opener often also has space for other small yet no less handy conveniences, such as a bag opener, a bottle opener or even a knife sharpener. In essence, you do not only get a handy can opener, you get a bunch of other neat little tools for use around the kitchen as well, all compressed into but a fraction of the amount of space these different tools would have taken up if they were all acquired separately. Some of these extras are sometimes electric as well, giving you even more convenience for the purchase.
The space maker can opener shines on the aesthetic side as well. With finishes ranging from the clean white often associated with refrigerators and microwave ovens to a polished black look, these gadgets will be able to blend in with most kitchen setups.
