With all of the bad press that the ebola virus is getting at the moment, it certainly does not pay to take things for granted, especially when it concerns your health and a disease that has no known cure other than to cross your fingers and hope that you do not end up as one of the statistics. Water is essential to life, and to have a clean supply of water is obviously high on the wish list of many. We are told to boil our water before we drink, or to purchase bottled water whenever we are in doubt, so why not go the whole nine yards by picking up the $299.95 Germ Eliminating Water Purifier?
The Germ Eliminating Water Purifier is a countertop water purification system that every home should have, as it relies on ultraviolet light to destroy 99.9999% of germs and bacteria. It will make sure that the water that flows through it will undergo a thorough two-step process that will send it through a traditional carbon filter first to get rid of unwanted chemicals and metals. Following that, the water will be treated with the same UV technology used by hospitals to destroy dangerous germs, such as E. coli and salmonella. As water is dispensed, it is also purified, to make sure that recontamination does not occur. Not only that, all the plastic components are BPA-free and coated to resist mold and bacteria.

Hmmm, most of the time, I would have thought that a particular gizmo or device would arrive in a special edition if it had a strong following in the first place, but then again, I might be wrong with the introduction of the $79.99 Hurricane 2 Canless Air System – Special Edition Blue. Judging by the name itself, it will arrive in a special shade of blue, and will deliver 100% breathable air that is safe to inhale, not to mention that it is also suitable to help you clean just about anything that requires a strong burst of air in concentrated amounts. Not only that, without any kind of chemicals, frostbite, or residue inside, you can be sure that dust bunnies will scurry away in horror at each 200+ mph blast regardless of the angle you shoot from.
Canned air might be fun to some people, but majority of what is sold on the market is far from being friendly or safe, but you can be sure that the Hurricane 2 Canless Air System will get the job done in the greenest manner possible. Each charge of the Hurricane 2′s batteries will offer you the equivalent of 25 cans of canned air, albeit sans chemicals, greenhouses gases, and risk of explosions. This is the ideal gift for those who dabble with electronics as well as broken computers, not to mention coming in handy for makers, woodcrafters, builders and DIY enthusiasts. Since it is safe to blow on people, even hair stylists might want to give it a shot!
