Certified for a 10-by-11-foot room, this Harmony air purifier from Holmes improves the quality and freshness of the atmosphere in your home. The purifier stands upright or lies flat, is quiet in operation, and features three power settings. An optional ionizing function improves performance. The unit uses a HEPA filter to trap 99 percent of typical airborne particles, while an activated carbon filter removes odors from the air. Both filters are accessed through a pop-off cover, and sliding switches control the settings. The unit’s durable plastic housing features Microban protection, which guards the product against microbial growth, such as mold, mildew, and bacteria. Holmes recommends operating the purifier continuously on the medium setting. Measuring 13 by 9-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches, it carries a three-year warranty. –Emily Bedard

  • Oscillating mode
  • 3-year limited warranty

Product Description
Blizzard tabletop fan is ideal for use in living rooms, bedrooms, or dorm rooms. Features include wall mountable, oscillation, and a tilt adjustable head. 3 speeds.Amazon.com Review
Hot time, summer in the city–there’s nothing like a powerful fan to keep you cool and collected despite the heat. The Blizzard oscillating fan from Holmes features three speed settings and a hard-working Blizzaire motor to ensure you have the temperature control to keep your wits about you. The fan head features a swirling grill design, adjustable for complete control over the tilt angle, and can oscillate from any position. The fan has a solid, wide base for tabletop or desk use (just don’t place it too close to your computer monitor–it will make your display flicker), and we especially appreciate the handle built into the base for easy moving or storage. If your tabletop real estate is at a premium, the fan is easy to mount on a wall, although the mounting hardware is not included. Crafted from durable slate-gray poly, the fan has a three-year limited warranty. –Ariel Meadow Stallings

Where can I buy an individual electric element to use on holiday (when there is no kettle in the room).?

March 18th, 2010


In the past I have seen a small element in catalogues which can be used to heat a cup of water in a cup but now when I need to buy one I can’t locate any. Have searched under camping and travel sections in many outlets with no luck as yet. Am sure someone will be able to help.
