Hardware & Housewares Review Thursday, May 11, 2017 1 8 DUAL ALARM CLOCK FROM LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY La Crosse Technology's Dual Alarm Clock makes the perfect addition to any bedside with a variety of features, such as two USB charging ports, nap function, full color display and so much more. The Dual Alarm Clock's distinctive tower design features a bright, easy-to- read color LCD display. The display has large time digits with alarm icons, calen- dar with full day of the week spelling, month and date, indoor temperature available in Fahrenheit and Celsius, indoor humidity and USB charging indi- cators. Not only is the calendar and setup menu available in English and Spanish, but the backlight is adjustable. There are three different alarm set- tings perfect for single day use, every day of the week or even for the week- ends. The crescendo alarm will sound for two minutes and turn off automati- cally if no buttons are pushed. The newest feature to La Crosse Technology's alarm family is the nap function; simply set the nap timer between five and 120 minutes, allowing for a perfectly timed rest at the touch of a button, without disrupting your morning alarms. The two USB charg- ing ports have a 2.2 amp total output, giving you the option to charge two devices, such as a phone or tablet, simultaneously. Once you have plugged the device of your choice in, expect a warm "Hello" greeting from your alarm clock. It will also wish you "Good morning" whenever your alarm goes off. Each USB charging port has its own charging indicator, allowing for you to see when your device is fully charged, as well as a storage cable hook so that you don't lose the charging cord for later use. La Crosse Technology's small town team takes pride in the quality and value of every product it produces.

SAFE-T-STOOL: ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY By Christopher Gardner, Director of Business and Product Development, EG ENNOVEA The No. 1 cause of work-related acci- dents is falling, and most are from less than two feet! (No pun intended.) When the Safe-T-Stool ® was conceived, engi- neers focused on features to make it safe. Industrial designers made sure it was stylish and ergonomically correct. The resulting collaboration is a five star consumer rated product – perfect for indoors and out. Perfect at work or at home, for young and for old. With tremendous load capacity, it weighs less than 3-1/2 pounds. (Third party lab tests available.) No matter where you stand on the Safe-T-Stool's top surface, its patented design cannot tip over when placed on a smooth, flat surface. Turn it over to use as a tote – thoughtful dual handles are built in. From foot to floor, soft, low durometer neoprene helps prevent slipping and is in full contact with the floor. Safe-T-Stool is 100 percent Made in the USA, and we are so confident with the quality of our product that we include a Limited Lifetime Warranty with every unit we sell. For resellers, we offer five designer colors, professional retail labeling, a variety of merchandising solutions and even private label opportunities. Our newly designed website at www.safet- stool.com directs consumers to "Buy Now" buttons that encourages them to choose their favorite retailer when mak- ing a purchase. For online support, a library of digital content is available, including lifestyle photographs, video, animation and static graph- ics.

It features digital controls and display, has nine fan speeds, adjustable humidistat and auto shutoff. The convenient front fill pour-in design and casters for easy mobility make this humidifier extremely easy to maintain and service. Using its U.S.- made high quality wick, the EP9800 adds clean, invisible moisture to your environ- ment by moving dry air through the satu- rated wick.

Other advantages of proper humidification include preserving the luster of fine leather furnishings, maintaining musical instruments and nourishing wood floors. Pets also greatly benefit from added moisture in the home – no more itchy, scaly skin and pet dan- der caused by dry indoor air. Many beauty consultants tout the value of adding humidification to one's beauty regimen to reduce signs of aging and to restore a healthy complexion. Essick's diverse line of products offers a wide variety of humidifier types and sizes to aid in a healthy lifestyle. Throughout its nearly century-long company history, Essick Air Products has exceeded customer expectations by offer- ing superior service, full line solutions and profitable category growth.
