Whenever I get emails from readers asking about energy-efficient cooling products, the first thing I recommend is an evaporative cooler if they live in a drier climate. Also called “swamp coolers,” these appliances combine the natural cooling properties of water with a powerful breeze to make you feel several degrees cooler. Affordable, easy to use [...]

It’s hard to believe that some dishwashers still don’t come standard in some homes, apartments and condominiums. We recently moved into a charming historical home and realized that a dishwasher was never installed. As a new family on a budget, purchasing and installing a full-size, built-in model just wasn’t doable for us at the moment. [...] When used in the right circumstances (high temperatures, low humidity), an evaporative cooler is a great way to stay cool. Also commonly referred to as swamp coolers, evaporative coolers are way less expensive than traditional air conditioners because they use less energy and are simpler pieces of equipment. Swamp coolers keep you cool by using [...] I’ll admit that I hate the taste of my tap water. I’m not so much concerned about contaminants but just can’t get myself to pour a glass straight from the tap. Over the past few years, I’ve tried to increase my daily water intake to a gallon a day but my water is usually of [...] Unlike most people, I prefer to use an evaporative cooler instead of a portable air conditioner because I live in an area where the weather is always dry. Evaporative coolers are so amazing (speaking from my past 10 years of experience), especially where I live because evaporative coolers add humidity to the room. On the [...] I’ve always been a fan of NewAir products. I don’t know what it is about that brand, but I’ve purchased so many of its models and they’ve all lasted years. I usually don’t expect that through wear and tear, but I am pleasantly surprised every time. NewAir seems to be exclusively carried on Air & [...] Recently, I purchased a dehumidifier for my home from www.air-n-water.com. I wasn’t really sure exactly what I had wanted, so I took a look at the website and found that the prices were cheaper than other websites I found, including another appliance store (I’d rather not mention its name or anything about it, other than [...] Usually, I go onto websites like Amazon.com to find reviews and understand how good these units I like really are. Yet, when I was looking at portable ice makers, I didn’t find the website to be very helpful. Thank goodness that I somehow ended up finding Air & Water on Google! This site really helped [...] Even though springtime is almost over (we’ve only got a month and a week left!), pollen and other allergens are still floating around in the air. This really bugs me because I never want to go out! And even when I stay home, I’m still prone to having an allergic reaction to dust (or sometimes [...] Since this is an Air and Water review blog, I thought it would be nice to write about a new water dispenser I ordered last month. I grew up with Sparkletts water dispenser in my kitchen. My parents spent quite a bit each month to have the Sparkletts brand water jugs delivered to our house, [...] |
