Solar Powered Entertainment Lounger lets you chill without energy worries

solar-powered-entertainment-loungerIf you so happen to be well off enough to actually own a swimming pool in your home, then to pick and choose the various accessories for it would make plenty of sense. After all, swimming lap after lap in it can get boring after a while, unless you are on some sort of strict training regime. Having said that, you might want to check out this particularly useful add-on for your swimming pool, the $4,000 Solar Powered Entertainment Lounger.

The Solar Powered Entertainment Lounger’s name says it all – this particular motorized reclining lounge chair will come with its fair share of built-in misters to help you keep nice and cool even in the sweltering heat, while the integrated speakers would work well in letting you chill out to your latest songs. If your water-resistant device happens to be running low on juice, fret not – there is a USB charging port that will help you out, where the entire shebang is powered by harnessing the power of the sun. A pair of 24″ x 6″ solar panels that are located on each side of the chair’s base will provide power for all the extensive entertainment features, while there is a control pad on the left armrest which offers simple push-button operation of a quiet hydraulic lift that will gently recline or raise the back. The fingertip-adjustable nozzles atop each armrest will also be able to emit a refreshing mist. Now this is definitely living it up in style.

Solar Shower provides free hot water

solar-showerHeating bills can cause quite a big hit in your monthly expenses, depending on which country that you live in, but this does not mean that you should go freeze yourself to death during winter by being a miser, right? After all, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do, and that would include making sure that his family has the bare necessities for survival, including a roof over their head as well as three square meals. The thing is, if you have already made it in life and happen to own a home with a swimming pool, why not add something nice into the equation? Most public pools come with a shower outside for you to wash yourself down before you jump in, as well as help you get acclimatized to the water temperature. Why not go green with the $199.99 Solar Shower?

The Solar Shower is extremely cost effective and a snap to set up, where it will then be able to provide cold, warm or hot showers without causing another dent in your wallet. After all, the heating is done by the sun itself. All that you need to do is to mount the Solar Shower on a wall, make use of the included free-standing base, and you’re good to go. It will hook up to a standard garden hose, which means it should not be too difficult to find a place for it in your garden. The large column fills will take around 2 minutes to fill up with water, and it takes approximately an hour to heat up, depending on weather conditions, to deliver a water temperature of up to 130°F (55°C).

The Cat Power Tower will play with the cat when you’re away

Cat Power Tower
When you have a pet, you oftentimes get very attached. Toys, special food, and plenty of treats are bought to keep them happy and healthy. However, they need lots of attention in the same way humans do, and if you’re at work for a large portion of the day, it can be worrisome that they’re getting bored.

If you have a cat, and want to make sure that they don’t just lay around all day, you’re going to need a way to keep them entertained. Oftentimes feathered toys and laser pointers are the best way of doing that, but if you’re not there to control it, then the Cat Power Tower might come in handy. Just turn it on, and any time your feline friend comes near it will start spinning the top which has four toys on it. After they get tired and leave, it will shut off after about 15 seconds. This is of course mounted on a 32” high scratching post so your cat doesn’t feel the need to take it out on the walls.

There are two different versions of the Cat Power Tower. There is the regular scratching post, and a three tiered tower which is made of bamboo and can support over 200 pounds. Just plug it in and watch them flip out over feathered, scrunch ball, or mice toys at the top. The scratching post will cost around $120, while the three-tiered is around $250. This is a great idea, but be prepared to buy backup toys for the top, as they likely won’t last a week.

Remote Control Deadbolt Activator makes life more convenient

remote-deadboltLife is all about convenience these days, is it not? Look at the number of instant TV dinners that we have, where meals which used to take hours to prepare, now require mere minutes in the microwave in order to deliver the very same taste. As for the nutritional content in such TV dinners, well, that remains questionable compared to the original, but hey, at least it saves us time in the long run, right? Imagine coming home after a long, hard day at work, where you just want to make a beeline for your favorite couch and kick your shoes off. After sinking into your couch, you realized that you have not locked your front door. Fret not, there is a remote for that, in the form of the $79.95 Remote Control Deadbolt Activator.

As its name suggests, the Remote Control Deadbolt Activator is a patented device that enables one to operate an existing deadbolt with a remote control. Installation is a snap, where it requires no permanent alterations made to your door, where all that you need would be a screwdriver, and that’ sthat. The thumb-turn mechanism is replaced, where you will have a radio frequency remote control to “play” with, as it has a working range of up to 80′ away. The activator enables residents to unbolt the lock for guests (and re-bolt it when they depart) without having to make the long trek to the door. A quartet of AA batteries will power the device for up to a year, where you can choose from brass or nickel shades.

The Outdoor Massaging Body Roll gives you a break from daily stressors

Massage Body Roll
We all get stressed out about different things. Sometimes it’s working too many days in a row, not having anything “fun” scheduled into your week, or just annoying everyday occurrences. Sooner or later, the things that make you tense up are going to make knots in your muscles. This is why we enjoy taking hot baths and are always in search of a massage.

The Outdoor Massage Body Roll will help you relax wherever you are. This is meant primarily for the outdoors as the name suggests, but there’s nothing wrong with laying down on the floor at work and just taking a few deep breaths now and again. In fact, this will boost your productivity so your brain isn’t in such a constant flurry. It would probably help if we didn’t all drink so much coffee, but it just tastes so good!

This body roll has four points of vibration massage that will help your muscles to calm themselves. When its not in use, it can be rolled up like a yoga mat. It is water, fade, and mildew resistant fabric, which likely means it’s not going to be the softest thing you’ve ever put your head on. This would be best paired with a beach towel that is large enough to cover it. You’ll be looking at $50 if you’re interested, and it probably won’t see much use until the weather is warm enough for swimming outdoors. Unless of course you like a little cool breeze hanging around.

Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set spruces up the kitchen

r2d2_measuring_cup_setI know that R2-D2, the little astromech droid that could, and did in fact, play an extremely crucial role in the Rebel Alliance striking at the heart of the Galactic Empire before, is also a little bit domesticated. What do I mean by that? Well, it might be able to get out of tight spots against other droids that are far larger and more powerful, but it is also a decent hand in the kitchen. Case in point, this $19.99 Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set.

The Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set, as its name suggests, will feature an entire set of measuring cups that resemble parts of R2-D2. In fact, its whole body is built from a quartet of measuring cups: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup. You will not be able to find this anywhere else, as it is a ThinkGeek creation and exclusive, and has also been officially licensed by Lucasfilm to roll off the production lines. The detachable utility arms can be used as nested measuring spoons of 1/4, 1/2, 1 tsp, and 1/3 tbsp, while the dome itself is both 1/2 cup and 1 tbsp. It might be able to withstand a laser shot or two, but this R2-D2 is extremely averse to being placed in a microwave.

The Abyss Table Lamp is an otherworldly light source

ABYSS Table Lamp
There are everyday objects that we have become accustomed to. We all have a generic shape of a sink, toilet, desk, and other household items in our minds. Sometimes a designer will create these normal objects in a way that seems mind-blowing, but only because it changes the way we look at these commonalities. If you want to surround yourself with the unconventional, then you likely want to challenge the concept of how you perceive everyday items.

The Abyss Table Lamp by Kundalini is like no other lamp you’ve seen (you know, besides rope lights). This can be twisted into any form and keep their shape, which means it can become whatever you think isn’t going to scare you to death to see when you walk into a room. By itself, it would likely resemble a deep-sea fish, waiting for you to be close enough to strike.

This is a modular structure made from injection moulded opal polycarbonate that has high voltage LEDs. It is 43” in length, and as it is coming from a designer, the $855 price tag shouldn’t be too shocking (just kidding, that’s a load of money and you can be downright outraged if you want). Just remember, if it exists, then there must be some sort of market for it. If you like the idea, but can’t toss money out of your fancy car while driving down a gold-paved road, then this could potentially be a DIY project that could cost far less and look just as awesome.

Heated Lotion Dispenser keeps hands clean and warm

heated-lotion-dispenserWe humans operate best at an optimal temperature, too cold and it would be inefficient for us to walk around all wrapped up like a puffed up mummy, too hot and the sweltering heat would just about sap one’s energy away before doing anything in the first place. Going to the washroom is something that most of us do every single day, and after we’re done with our business, it is time to wash them hands. During the winter, your hands might get cold very fast, which is why the $39.99 Heated Lotion Dispenser does its bit to help by making your hand lotion warm, soothing your digits as you spread the lotion all over.

The Heated Lotion Dispenser is a snap to use – all that you need to do is fill up the 16 oz. reservoir with your favorite hand lotion or body lotion, where the coil heat design will ensure that the lotion inside will warm up (without spoiling or altering its chemical make up) in a matter of two minutes thereabouts. Of course, it will need to be plugged in in order to work, and there is an LED power indicator light to inform you that it is turned on, alongside a 5′ cord with an on/off switch.

Brinno Digital Peephole Viewer – Knock, Knock?

61qEhYIjSML._SL1500_

I’ve taught my daughter the same thing we all learned as kids, NEVER open the door, unless you’re absolutely sure who it is on the other side. Yes, we have little peepholes on our hotel room doors and at our homes… but now even they are a risk. Reverse peephole viewers allow those so inclined, to look right into your private space, and even photograph you without your knowledge. I’m not liking that.

Check out the Brinno Digital PeepHole Viewer, using a cool LCD display, you can check out just who it is at your door, without even alerting them to your presence. The PeepHole Viewer turns what used to be a squinty, one-eye-closed experience, into a crisp clear picture, that can even be enhanced for more detail. Let’s say there’s a knock at the door, you simply push the button in order to see a full color, enhanced image of the person lurking outside your door. The image is easy to see, and the viewer even compensates for low light situations. Best of all, there’s no chance someone is peeping back at you at the same time.

Another press of the Digital Peephle Veiwer’s button gives you a zoomed-in image, in case you’re looking for greater detail. (like whether or not your favorite Girl Scout has your cookies or not!) The unit also turns off automatically after 10 seconds, so you don’t need to manually turn it off, and a low battery indicator light is built right into the viewer. The Brinno Digital Peephole Viewer replaces most existing peep holes in doors from 1-3/8-Inch to 2-1/4-Inch thick. It’s quite simple to install and runs on 2 AA batteries. If you’d like to add some high tech security to your front door, you can get one at amazon.com for under 70 bucks.

Best Waffle Maker quells those hunger pangs

wafflemakerHammacher has certified yet another device and deemed it to be fit enough to carry the “The Best” prefix, and this time around it would be the $249.95 Best Waffle Maker. What makes this particular home appliance deserve such a title, and why does it cost so much? As you know how the saying goes – pay peanuts and you end up with monkeys. The Best Waffle Maker is no monkey business, this I can assure you, as it has consistently produced perfectly cooked waffles and was easy to use. This chef’s-grade appliance sports dual grid surfaces within its rotating clamshell, allowing one to bake a couple of 7.5″ diameter Belgian waffles simultaneously.

With the Best Waffle Maker, you will be able to keep the hunger pangs of your family at bay, and in tests, both waffles came out evenly baked. This translates to a golden and crispy texture on the outside, and yet remaining nice and moist right down in the middle, all without having to carry any burnt or raw spots that are found in the waffles which were made using lesser models. Apart from that, the nonstick plates also make it a snap to remove cooked waffles, while its handles remained cool to the touch so that you do not end up burning yourself by accident. The Best Waffle Maker would let you know when it is preheating, ready for batter, and when the waffles are ready.
