Review: AirDry Wine Glass Dryer - No Streaks or Spotting on Wine Glasses
The new AirDry wine glass rack lets you throw in the towel and let AirDry do the job. AirDry is designed to carefully hold four stemware glasses to allow them to dry naturally, without streaking or spotting, so there's no need to use a dishtowel or the added energy of a dishwasher.
The AirDry features rubber-coated hooks that softly grip glass stems, keeping them secure from falling or tapping against each other while drying. Whether you're drying one glass or four, the AirDry base is wide enough to prevent tipping.

It comes in two pieces, allowing you to quickly put it together
or put it away for storage.

It does not tip over and is very sturdy even when drying
one wine glass.

Look - no streaking with AirDry!
The Architec AirDry has a suggested retail price of $14.99. We think this is perfect for small dinner parties, and also a really nice alternative to using the dishwasher. You'll also be able to use this for those giant wine glasses, and have no streaks or spots.

Bissell 1200B SpotBot - Cleans Messy Carpet Stains Hands-Free

We're always trying to keep our kitchen rug (a 6x9 thing of blue beauty) clean and spot free. We spotted the SpotBot due to it's claims of being hands free, and the thought of not bending over and just placing the bot on the spot was more than appealing. The SpotBot has two cleaning modes: hands-free and manual. In hands-free mode, you just fill the SpotBot with water and cleaning fluid, select your stain type, and then walk away. Within seven minutes, its 24-inch circumference cleaning head does everything else for you on the SPOT of your choosing. For larger stains or ones that require some extra elbow grease and time, use the Tough Stain Brush that attaches to the hose.

simplehuman Sensor Soap Pump Arrives for Review
We've received the new simplehuman Senseo Soap Pump and will be testing it against our older - sensorless - simplehuman Precision Soap Pump. The sensor soap pump dispenses soap touch-free to help avoid cross-contamination. All you need to do is simply place your hand under the sensor to dispense soap automatically. An optional LED light timer blinks for 20 seconds to indicate how long to lather for germ-free hands, and the simplehuman Sensor Soap Pump features four volume settings that allow the pump to dispense preset amounts of soap or lotion. Operates on 4 AA batteries (not included).
We'll have a full review of our thoughts and impressions soon.

Review: Smellkiller Stainless Steel Hand Soap and Air Cleaner
We've been looking for a stainless steel hand soap to get rid of that nasty garlic smell after making legs of lamb lately. Having seen quite a few different options online, we stopped into our local hardware store only to find exactly what we were looking for - the Smellkiller Stainless Steel Hand Soap and Air Cleanser.
Now you're probably wondering - how does stainless steel soap remove odors on your hands or even in the air? It neutralizes them or breaks the molecules of odor upon contact, or if you use the rubber bowl that's included and a little water, it will remove odors from the air. Does it work? Well...
