I'm not sure what kind of clothes dryer you USED to have... my LG gives me about 25 combinations of drying heat and spin rate all the way from "no heat, no spin" to "bake and spin the heck out of the clothes." I usually use low heat with lots of air-ated (sp) spin time.

Tomshardware rules! This exactly the kind of out of the box article that keeps me visiting this site again and again.

the warm mouse conflicts with my situation... my hands get cold, yes, but they also get sweaty.

yes, cold and sweaty is a regular for me.

5V?, the usb could output 2.5W, 5V means nothing in terms of consumption.

"electricity costs have recently increased by 7% in our area. My bill? Its the same size as it ever was, meaning I'm saving at least 7%."

Say your original bill was $100. With a 7% increase, it's now $107. So if you're still paying $100 with a new base of $107, you're paying 93.45% of the total bill, which is a savings of 6.55%. Not "at least 7%". Less than 7%. 😛

What a waste on the clothes spinner.. just set the washer to the high spin and you don't need to buy another device to sit in your laundry room. My mom has done it for years.

The spinner is not a waste at all. It is MUCH faster than even fastest washing machine spin cycles. As a result it removes much more water and detergent from the clothes. It would be a waste if the spin cycle was the same speed, or close to the same speed.

I've been looking for an air filter that's actually "quiet". The one I have now has a constant annoying hum. This is one of the better Honeywell Filter I've seen.

does anyone know what the space capacity this Honeywell Filter can accomodate?

If you are looking for USB Heating solutions to keep energy bills down for chilly temperatures (air conditioned offices are cold, too) -- go directly to the manufacturers at ValueRays.com! You can get super prices, free shipping & no sales tax at one of their authorized online vendors, too, at IGMproducts.com. I have fibromyalgia and so I need to use a complete USB Heated Computer Workstation because I spend 8 hours a day using the computer. The heat really helps me be able to work longer hours. : )

Does anyone know if the Warm-Mouse-Heated-Keyboard website belongs to ValueRays?

JudyJudy,
It appears that site is not owned by ValueRays, but I can't be sure. The site was registered by iGlobalMall.com. However, I'm not sure why you mention that website, when a different site is the one we cite in the article itself (warmmouse.com).

Thanks for the reply Rachel. I want the valuerays heated keyboard pad and it seems as though its temporarily out of stock. Just wondererd if I contacted valuerays directly maybe they would have it. I'd rather just get it online and not go through the manufacturer though. I'll try to hunt down iglobalmall. Thanks, JJ
