Sharper Image The Money Manger Digital Coin Counter/Sorter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I impulse bought this bank at another retailer on clearance for 80% off. I still over paid for this piece of junk. You have to put one coin in at a time and even then it gets jammed trying to roll down. You end up putting a coin in and smashing it against something to get it to work. I don't know if the counter works right or not because I only put 8 quarters in before I gave up trying to use this. The holes look too big and I wouldn't be surprised if the coin sorter didn't work at all. Don't buy this!

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze 3.0 Compact Silent Air Purifier (SI397) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this after an informercial. My warrenty was for 3 years. Lucky for me, since 14 months after receiving the unit it died with no warning.
The manufacture made me return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE and then they sent me a new unit. Took 2 months.
Well, the new unit arrived 8 days ago. It died an hour ago. I called the customer service and refused to pay to send it back AGAIN.
They ARE sending me out a new unit (again), but it will take up to 10 business days to receive. They agreed to send a pre-paid shipping label this time too. (Could take a month though.)
Meanwhile, I have nothing. After reading the reviews below, I could have kicked myself. I subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports so did what another did...looked it up. Consumer Reports says this Ionic Breeze only "removes a few particles from the air", nothing else. They also did the test, as the infomercial showed, of putting the Breeze in an enclosed space with smoke and turned it on. It did NOT do what the infomercial said. It did not "power through smoke". It did nothing.
I am taking the advice of Consumer Reports. I am refunding my money on the Breeze and purchasing "the high-scoring Friedrich C-90A and Whirlpool AP45030HO models" which DOES work...and work well.
Avoid the Ionic Breeze unit, for the home AND/OR the car.

* Room air cleaner circulates and cleans air with no motor, no fan and no noise. Key features include absolutely silent operation; proven efficient air cleaning; odor reduction; no replacement filters; low energy use; lightweight, attractive housing; continuous air cleaning. * Tests at leading research centers show that Ionic Breeze does a great job capturing particles like pollen, dander and other airborne allergens and irritants. Quadra Compact has been tested at America's leading allergy research center, prominent universities and independent labs to confirm its efficient trapping of airborne particles of one micron or larger. * Save money! There no messy, expensive filters to find, buy, store and replace. Quadra is an electrostatic precipitator that charges airborne contaminants and traps them on oppositely charged stainless steel collectors that wipe clean. Quadra Compact is powered by only 6 watts. Compared to high-watt HEPA machines, it pays for itself in less than a year. * Cleans 24-7! Turn off a noisy HEPA air cleaner and air pollution goes right back to where it started. All air cleaners should run continuously but noisy fans and expensive 200-watt power demands make that impractical with those big HEPA machines. Silent, low-energy Ionic Breeze is designed to run continuously. Plug into 3-prong outlet. * Quadra is 19" tall and 4 1/4 lbs, with almost the same cleaning power as the larger Quadra. Uses only 6 watts. * Suggested for rooms up to 270 sq. ft.

The Sharper Image 8021SI Stainless-Steel 700-Watt Super Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first juicer I've owned, so I don't really have a comparison. However, I did do quite a bit of research before buying this. Mine has the black top, not clear, so I can't see what's happening, but apart from that it's the same. I was very impressed with the motor. However, unlike the photos, I couldn't find small enough apples or pairs to go whole down the tube, and had to cut them in 1/4, but no problem. Also, the orange juice made from oranges with peel on (as suggested) tasted awful. Perhaps the really thin-peel oranges would be fine, but none available at the moment. I quickly discovered that although it says that you don't have to peel, the juice is much nicer for many fruits when you do - i.e. citrus, pineapple, mango - fruits that you wouldn't eat the peel anyway. I deducted one star because I did find that the clean-up took longer than expected. All these ads always show a 1-2-3 quick-clean but anyone who has juiced, and for those that haven't, you MUST clean immediately after juicing, otherwise those little bits of fruit stick to everything and are impossible to clean off and (Heaven forbid) can grow bacteria..... But quite honestly, for the price, I think it's a good deal - from what I've seen of much more expensive ones, this is comparable.
One last thing - I was surprised that the remaining pulp wasn't dryer for some fruits - seemed like you could extract more juice (especially pineapple) - but then the recipe book suggests using the pulp for muffins, and that seems like a great idea which I shall try.

A welcome addition to any healthy kitchen, this fruits-and-vegetables electric juicer produces fresh juice quickly and easily. Simply place a glass or pitcher under the spout; insert whole apples, pears, cucumbers, or other produce into the wide-mouth feeding tube; then gently and slowly press down using the included pusher. In seconds, the appliance dispenses delicious, all-natural juice--a nice alternative to store-bought varieties that often come laden with artificial sugar and preservatives. The unit's stainless-steel blade breaks down the fibers, while its stainless-steel micro filter catches the pulp, ensuring only pure juice gets dispensed into the glass. Pulp dispenses towards the back of the unit into a large-capacity pulp collector for easy disposal or composting, or, better yet, for making sauces, soups, salsa, cakes, and more. The juicer features a quiet yet powerful 700-watt motor and a safety locking bar that securely locks all the parts in place when in use. When finished, the juicer's removable parts clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Attractively housed in stainless steel, the electric juicer measures approximately 13 by 8-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches.

The Sharper Image EC-B100 Sound Soother Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sharper Image Sound Soother has a very sleek and modern design, however, there are a few flaws that detract from the overall experience.
First, the digital display is very bright in a dark bedroom. Unlike a regular, cheap alarm clock where only the time is lit, the entire display of the Sound Soother is backlit. If your bedroom has little ambient light at night, this display will emit a glow that some people may find too bright. Although there are three display brightness settings, there is little difference between them and the lowest setting is still bright. We have to turn the clock away from the bed at night so it's not directly in our face, but the glow is still significant.
Second, the sound quality could be better. This could be a tradeoff for the sleek design, but the sounds are not very natural coming out of the small rear speakers and are a bit tinny as another reviewer has noted. The volume control is not very good either, as the difference between the first, second, third, etc. volume selections are very noticeable. In other words, 1 is too soft for some sounds, but 2 is way too loud. The audio loop on some of the sounds is too short as well, and if you are concentrating on the sound you may be able to detect the pattern, which can be distracting as you are trying to fall asleep. Also, the control buttons themselves make a very loud and abrasive "click" sound when you push them, which seems odd for a machine designed to relax you.
Overall, the Sound Soother is a decent alarm clock that gets the job done, but it could definitely be improved (display too bright, audio quality is lacking, and buttons take away from the overall experience). Although it is made by Sharper Image, it has a somewhat "cheap" feeling to it. Despite the flaws, it is one of the better sound machine/alarm clock I came across that was less than $50.
