The Quiet Power™ Tie Rack Automatic Tie Rack is just as quick and convenient as its predecessor, but now it's ultra-quiet, too. With a new, smoother and more powerful motor, 72 of your ties glide quietly past you for easy selection. Touch the control bar to rotate left or right in one full revolution or press the Stop button when you've reached your selection. A bright light helps you see true colors, then switches off after rotation stops. The oval track holds 72 ties in a 5 1/4" section of your closet pole. Four double hooks underneath hold belts and scarves increasing the hanging spaces to 80. Comes with hardware for easy mounting to wood shelving, closet rods or even metal closet systems. Adjustable rear stabilizer makes solid mounting a breeze. Requires four C batteries (not included), or plug into any standard wall outlet using the AC adapter. One-year warranty. |

The Cable-Free Weather Clock is one of the coolest weather stations we've seen. No other product we've seen monitors so many weather phenomena at once all without the restrictions of wires or cords. Its small remote sensor relays outdoor temperature to the slim console by radio. Transmits up to 90 feet even through walls. In addition to the time and date, the large LCD screen shows: Temperatures indoors and out with maximum/minimum memory. Barometric pressure with trend indicator and bar chart of the last 24 hours. Relative humidity with comfort indicator. Eight-step moon phase and tides indicator, which can also show the moon phase for any day from 1990 to 2089. And a helpful weather forecaster with icons for sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy, rainy, and stormy. Fully portable, so you can take it from room to room. In the bedroom, you'll appreciate the crescendo alarm, Snooze feature, and HiGlo backlight (activates for five seconds at a touch). Wall-mountable main unit (8" square x 1" thin) operates on 4 AAA batteries (included). Remote sensor with LCD temperature display runs on 2 AAA batteries (included). 90-day warranty. |

If
you have a pool, you know how erratic and ineffective some
pool cleaners can be. The manufacturer of the Ultrabot claims
its
latest self-contained pool cleaner scrubs harder and works
faster than its predecessors.
The Ultrabot is self-contained and requires no installation. Simply plug it into the power supply provided, set the cleaning time for 2 to 8 hours, toss it in the water, and relax while hard-to-remove algae, dirt, debris, hair, and sand are scrubbed and vacuumed from walls, floors, steps-even the waterline. As the unit’s cleaning, a light in the arm casts a glow through the water (color foils included). For pools up to 1075 square feet; 7500 gallons of water per hour. The compact Aquabot Mirage (without a light) cleans pools up to 800 square feet, operates on a fixed 7 hour cleaning cycle, and filters 4200 gallons of water per hour. Demonstration video included. |
