Dyson DC15 "The Ball" Vacuum Cleaner Review

Several years ago James Dyson revolutionized the vacuum industry with the release of a new line of vacuums that do not lose suction over time. This line of vacuums, like all Dyson vacuums to follow, uses a patented root cyclone system whereby dust and other debris is literally thrown out of air using centrifugal force. The dirty incoming air is spun rapidly in a circular pattern until nearly all particles are thrown out of the air and into the vacuum's collecting chamber. Unlike regular vacuums, where the bag gets more and more clogged with the addition of more debris, the dyson air flow is never obstructed, leading to even and sustained suction power.

Now, Dyson has introduced another revolutionary feature: "the ball." Instead of resting on wheels like conventional vacuums, Dyson's DC15 series of vacuums actually move about on top of a heavy ball at the base of the vacuum that contains the vacuum motor. This keeps the center of gravity quite low, allowing smoother and easier handling. The ball allows the vacuum to twist and turn around nearly any piece of furniture and into small tight spaces. The maneuverability of the ball vacuum is simply unmatched by an vacuum using the standard wheel system. This is an especially important advancement for Dyson vacuum cleaners that tend to put strain on some users due to their weight and suction power. The ball helps the vacuum overcome its powerful and slightly cumbersome nature.

The DC15 "The Ball" series currently contains four vacuum models: the all floors, animal, total clean, and full kit. The all floors model is somewhat the bare bones options, containing no extra or add-on tools. All the other vacuum models come with the very popular mini turbine head, which is simply wonderful at removing unwanted pet hair from furniture upholstery. The animal, which is typically the best selling model of the four, sells for about $559 and also contains the low reach floor tool and effective carpet cleaning kit.

When considering purchasing a Dyson vacuum cleaner, we highly recommend you take a look at one of the DC15 "The Ball" models. They may cost a little more, but they are certainly easier to handle than your average vacuum. They really do make vacuuming as much of a pleasure as it could possibly be.

Can Infrared Spy Cameras Protect Your Property?

Discover What Infrared is and How it Works

Infrared or IR radiation is electromagnetic radiation of wavelength that is longer than visible light, yet shorter than microwave radiation. Infrared light was discovered in the yearly 1800 by English astronomer William Herschel. The main intention was to use infrared for imaging and photography. Nowadays, infrared is being used by police or security industry to capture criminals or better protect some valuable property using infrared security cameras.

Infrared cameras produce an image of a warm object. Warmer areas have different colors than cooler ones. So such infrared devices may capture car engine's heat, human or animal warmth, or any other kind of heat.

The Use of Infrared Cameras

Infrared security cameras for example, may be used in any house, business office, or even by police or military forces. The problem with regular security cameras is that they simply can't capture a quality view at night. Burglars may easily intrude into your house or office and steal your most important information or valuable items.

Infrared cameras are able to capture a heat that people produce. So even if intruders are trying to rob your house at night, these infrared cams will capture the image. Some infrared cameras may work only when they're triggered. For example, if their sensors catch some heat around, they'll automatically turn on and start capturing the view. There are additional systems that make your life even more secure. When infrared cameras turn on, they may automatically turn some alarm system on, or wake you up if you're sleeping at home, or call a special number (security company for example) and notify them about the intrusion.

Wireless Infrared Security Camera Systems

If you're thinking about the whole system of infrared security cams, then you might consider a few options available. Wireless infrared cameras should be your priority when considering your house or office security. With wireless cameras you don't need to worry about cables and all the hassles installing the system.

Such infrared cameras may be used indoor or outdoor. Of course, if you're planning to use them outdoor, you should think carefully about the alarm system. You don't want to bother your neighbors every time your cat walks around the sensors...

In case, you're planning to use infrared cameras outside, make sure that they're weatherproof. Well, usually, most outdoor cameras will be weather or waterproof. So they wouldn't get broken in case of rain or strong wind.

In Conclusion

Infrared spy cameras are great for securing your house or office buildings. They can capture clear pictures in complete dark easily and alert when someone tried to intrude into your private property.

Additionally, there are infrared cameras for mini spy cam lovers. Private investigators for instance may need such devices when monitoring a suspect. Such small infrared cameras may easily fit into a pocket or in clothes and do not make one look suspiciously.

Alarm Clocks – An Insight

For most the sound of an Alarm ringing first thing in the morning is a shock. You set it the night before, for whatever time you would like to wake up, and yet you are still annoyed with it when it actually goes off at the time you requested.

If you are like me, then you will prolong the act of getting up by constantly hitting the snooze button – which gives you another few minutes before it rings out again. The irony is that I personally never go back to sleep as I wait in anticipation for the sound of the dreaded clock to go off yet again.

Clocks nowadays have very different sounds to wake you, but none of them in my experience are welcoming, my current clock has a very high intermittent bleeping sound – which drives me crazy each morning, but without it, I would not wake up, so ironically I do depend on the irritating sound it makes. Perhaps I need to look at alternative clocks that offer a better noise to wake up to?

Traditional mechanical alarm clocks have a bell on top that rings, but digital alarm clocks can make other noises. Simple battery-powered alarm clocks make a beeping sound whereas novelty alarm clocks can speak, laugh, or sing.

Clocks have definitely improved in time (no pun intended) and the features too have improved – these range from: built-in radios, nature sounds, dual alarms, CD players, iPod docking bays, sunrise simulators, programmable snooze etc.

The Digital Clock is probably one of the most popular Alarm clocks in use today because they can be very useful (they are usually fitted with in-built radios as standard and are usually inexpensive to purchase)

However the digital clock does have its drawbacks. Since they run on electricity and have no permanent memory, digital clocks must be reset every time they are moved or the power is cut off. This is a particular problem since a power outage during the night usually results in the clock failing to trigger the alarm in the morning.
