It’s inevitable if you’re riding a bike: some car, not paying attention, with pull a crazy maneuver that puts you in danger. In a situation like this, a tiny, polite ding from a traditional bike bell is simply not going to do the trick; in this case, you need a loud attention grabber like the Delta Airzound Bike Horn. There are three main factors that make this product worth checking into. First and foremost, the Delta Airzound Bike Horn promises loud sounds at the touch of your finger. In fact, the Airzound can reach up to 115 decibels, but also comes with a control for volume which helps in different environments. This is important when considering biking around quiet neighborhoods.

Next, the Airzound requires no batteries or cartridges and is refillable with any standard bike pump. Third, Delta offers a lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects. Also, installation is easy as the unit fits right on your bike’s handlebar. Customers on Amazon felt this product really contributed to the safety of their bike rides, and noted the unit does produce very loud sounds. It should be noted, though, that several reviewers have noticed the loud sound can scare pedestrians and felt this product should be used by mature, safety-minded adults.

If your kids are like most, and are constantly asking “Are we there yet”, consider getting them a travel art and activity center like the Alex Toys Car Valet. This fold out table provides kids with the space to draw, color or play games. The upper storage compartment has colorful pockets to hold art supplies and even snacks. But be warned, the Alex Car Valet does not come with any crayons or other art supplies, the image of the product filled with various art supplies is simply an example of how to utilize the car valet. This stow and go tote is great for airplane travel or long car rides. It can be attached to the car seat in front of a child’s seat with Velcro straps.

A few reviewers warn that the tote does not fit all car seat sizes, but the kit can still be used resting on a child’s lap. The tote zips closed for easy carrying during travel. The Alex Car Valet has won several awards including the Astra Good Toy Award, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Sear Award, the Parenting Magazine Mom-Tested Award and the Dr. Toy’s Best Vacation Products Award. This award winning toy tote just may be the antidote to boring car rides!

To many, OXO means kitchen gadgets. Turns out, they make a solid plastic cutting board that looks to be a good addition to any kitchen. The OSO Good Grips Utility Cutting Board is a nice size at 10 1/2 by 15 inches and has some neat features that separate it from your basic wooden slab. First of all, the kitchen cutting board is made of polypropylene which makes it durable and tough as well as nonporous and resistant to odors. It won’t, however, dull knives and resists deep scratches on its surface. Next, it has some nifty black handles (one of the “grips” features) that make transporting the plastic cutting board easy and serves to keep it firm on the surface.

Also keeping it from slipping are four small rubber “feet” on the board’s corners. Finally, the board comes complete with a groove running around the cutting side that catches liquids, such as juice from a melon, and keeps it off the counter. OXO claims you can fit this board into the dishwasher for easy clean up. Reviews I’ve read online vary (as reviews tend to do). Some consumers would dispute the claim that the kitchen cutting board is dishwasher safe; it appears some people have had no issues while others have had melting, bending and warping of the board from dishwashing. Most reviews were overall positive in nature. Overall, the Oxo cutting boards appears to be a solid product with some nice features.

From a well known and trusted name in kitchen products comes the Kitchenaid 5-Speed Blender. Not just for smoothies, this blender handles a variety of kitchen tasks with ease and makes it a good addition to the counter. This red blender has a .9 HP motor and a base constructed of solid die-cast metal. The patented blade, which can whip up those smoothies as well as crush ice and puree foods, is stainless-steel, sharp and only one piece. The blender also features something called Intelli-Speed electronic controls. The control pad is called Clear Touch and can be wiped clean as needed. The unit’s cord also has a space for storage.

Moving on to the pitcher. It’s made of a polycarbonate blend that can handle a wide range of temperatures from boiling hot to freezing cold. The pitcher is stain, scratch and shatter resistant. It also features a soft grip and a lighter weight than can be found in other blenders. It can go straight into the dishwasher without any need to disassemble. Online reviews I’ve read were a mixed bag. On one hand, consumers seemed to love how powerful this blender was – lots of people crushing ice out there. On the other hand, several consumers reported having issues with the blender leaking after using it daily for some time. If you’re in the market for a powerful, easy to clean blender with some frills, this could be a good model for you.

Ever find yourself still sleepy when trying to make that first pot of coffee? Sometimes, especially when you’re tired, normal, disposable coffee filters can give you hassle by sticking together or not fitting right into the coffeemaker. Fumbling with filters can be a thing of the past with Mr. Coffee’s GTF2-One Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent Filter. This permanent filter is designed for use with most ten to twelve cup basket style coffeemakers. The gold tone filter is stylish and functional. For easy clean up, run the gold coffee filter under the faucet or throw it in the dishwasher for even easier cleanup. The filter is great for the wallet and the earth.

With this permanent filter, there are no worries of running out of filters or tossing the ground-filled used ones in the trash. It should be noted, as brought up by customers online, that this filter features mesh on the sides only, and that the bottom piece is solid plastic. Some customers found this a drawback. Other customers felt the coffee filter did not adequately keep grounds from the finished coffee. On the positive side, many customers found success with the coffee filter. Some felt it produced a fine cup of coffee as it will not “soak up” oils from the grounds as paper filters might.
