Moen brings airport bathroom-level convenience to your kitchen faucet (in a good way!)

Moen MotionsenseIf you’ve often found yourself hand washing in an airport bathroom, thinking “Why doesn’t my kitchen faucet work like this?”, then Moen has a new faucet for you. And if you’ve often found yourself hand washing in an airport bathroom thinking, “Thank God my kitchen faucet doesn’t work like this,” never fear! Moen’s new MotionSense faucets do the standard automatic jobs one better by providing two separate sensors. The top-mounted Wave sensor activates when a hand is waved over the faucet, and keeps the water running until the gesture is repeated. The lower Ready sensor starts water flowing when an object is placed under the faucet, turning off automatically after the object is removed. The auto-on water temperature is adjustable on the under-sink control box, and can always be overridden by using the handle. The faucets operate on 6 AA batteries that Moen claims will last about a year with normal use; an AC adapter is also available if there’s power under the sink. The faucets are available in four different styles and several finishes to match any kitchen decor, and all feature Moen’s smooth operating Reflex pull-out sprayer.

If you’ve never found yourself thinking about your kitchen faucet while hand washing in the airport bathroom, Moen has plenty of perfectly normal faucets as well. Killjoy.

The Tineco Carpet ONE Cruiser will deep clean and flashdry your carpets with ease
Tineco Carpet One Cruiser in use all throughout a home

Dirty carpets or rugs? Yeah, we all have experienced that or one time or another. You can go through the hassle of throwing it in the washer -- if you can fit it -- and then letting it air dry, but only if it's a rug. You cannot do that with a carpet. So, it's always good to have a carpet cleaner on hand, but so many of them have not been upgraded with the times as your average vacuum has. Or have they? Tineco is throwing that idea on its head with its innovative Carpet One Cruiser a smart carpet cleaner equipped with the brand's unique features. For example, it incorporates Tineco's iLoop smart sensor technology to detect how dirty the carpet is and adjust cleaning power to match. Or, how about the integrated FlashDry self-cleaning system? It cleans the brush roller, suction inlet, and related parts like the brush roller cover with just a single press of a button. Then it completely dries the brush with hot air, taking all of that extra work off you. Yes, please. For a limited time, Digital Trends' readers can use code TINDTCARPET to get 20% off a Carpet ONE Cruiser purchase -- that's about $100 off bringing the regular price from $699 down to $599 so you don't want to ignore that deal.
