The Lotus Sanitizing System from Tersano uses Oxyshield technology to infuse water with ozone. Voted one of Time's best inventions of 2006, process transforms ordinary tap water into a non-toxic solution that can be used to neutralize up to 99.9% of bacteria and pesticides on foods, as well as clean all surfaces, remove stains, mold and mildew and deodorize.
A multi-purpose bowl sanitizes and removes pesticides from fruits and vegetables and household items, like sponges, small toys, kitchen gadgets and utensils by submerging them completely. The spray bottle creates a mobile version of the powerful tap water-based all-purpose cleaner for use on most services. The kit includes a set of two microfiber cleaning cloths that go with the spray bottle to achieve impressive results.
Giving up a little of the precious counter-top real estate to store the admittedly somewhat clunky Lotus Sanitizing System maybe be a worthwhile trade-off to eliminate toxic cleaning products, germs, odors and pesticides from your home.
Available online, the $170 price includes shipping.

Far superior to all the gimmicky "design" peelers out there, the shark fin-like blade is an added bonus...
For stargazers bored with looking at common constellations like the Big Dipper and Orion's Belt, Celestron's NexStar 5 SE is a pro-level telescope for amateurs. I got a chance to try it the other night and was blown away with the clarity and ease of use. At 18 lbs. it's highly portable and with 40,000 celestial bodies preprogrammed with coordinates, just type in "Saturn"...
Lighter, faster and half the size of its predecessor (the Classic), the new SteriPEN Adventurer uses UV light to sterilize sketchy water in under a minute. Ensuring safe drinking water where ever your travels take you, I would not have survived without it on my recent travels to countries like Cambodia and Laos. Just press the button and place the lamp end in the...
First the ice cream lock, now the Shockolate Vault Jar, the latest gadget to keep you from indulging when you can't stop yourself. Place your contraband in the jar (cigarettes, candy, your significant other's Blackberry) and set the timer; attempted access prior to that results in a shock. Need to step it up a notch?

Nordaq Fresh is a new Swedish water filtration system that may change the way restaurants think about drinking water. We hit Napa this weekend and one of the many pleasures was an afternoon at The French Laundry (thanks for the hook up, José). When our waiter explained our water options—locally filtered flat or sparking, on the house) we were pleasantly surprised. He went on...
