The Touch Sensitive Teaching Guitar. Designed in conjunction with legendary guitar maker Gibson (even mimicking the classic Gibson SG body design), this touch-sensitive guitar uses lights to prompt players when to chord frets and strum, making it the easiest way for children to learn to play along with music. Players simply choose one of the 12 pre-loaded songs (including six rock classics such as Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water and The Troggs' Wild Thing) and place their fingers on the frets as they light up; brushing the strum bar plays the note. In "learn" mode, players practice songs phrase by phrase, being prompted and guided by the guitar when they err. Other sensors in the guitar encourage creative play--the speed of the player's stroke on the strum bar changes the vol ume and tone of the note, while lifting or dipping the neck "bends" the pitch like a tremolo bar. The guitar also accommodates other special techniques like palming, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. It can be set to... See less

The Best Cordless Hand Vacuum. This 12-volt cordless wet/dry hand vacuum was selected best for cleaning effectiveness, ease of use, and convenience in tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. It scored highest for cleaning effectiveness because it has a patented three-stage filtration system that separates large particles from liquids, storing the particles in a pre-filter, so there is no clogging to reduce suction, providing 200% more suction than other handhelds in its class. It was able to clean carpet, tile, and stair crevices more effectively than other tested models. It was judged easiest to use because it has an easy-to-empty 9 oz. capacity bowl, which collects liquids and smaller particles after being separated from the air. Fine dust particles are u ltimately trapped by the included HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns, unlike other handheld vacuums that spew dust and allergens into the air during operation. It scored the highest... See less

The First Solar Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer. This is the first solar-powered robotic pool skimmer that autonomously navigates a pool and removes leaves, grass, and insects, taking the toil out of skimming a pool and reducing strain on pool pumps. Two solar panels on top of the skimmer collect solar energy and store it in the rechargeable NiMH batteries. Dual, turbine-like paddlewheels propel the device as it continuously courses across the water and send debris to the skimmers filter. Four wheels on the side panels allow the skimmer to turn when it encounters a pool wall and navigate along the perimeter where dirt often collects. An internal microprocessor monitors the skimmers power and prods it to seek sunny areas of the pool to recharge the batteries. When the unit enters the s unlight, the microprocessor slows the rear paddlewheel, allowing the solar panels to collect optimal energy and, once the batteries are fully charged, the skimmer resumes the cleaning process. During the... See less

The Best Blender. This high-powered blender is the unequivocal best, as concluded by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute after rigorous testing of blending ability, ease of use, and features. During tests it chopped ice cubes and pesto ingredients into a smooth puree in seconds. Unlike other blenders with inadequate blade radii that allow food to fall into the crevices of the pitcher and leave some ingredients unblended, this one has staggered, extra-wide blades that are contoured to the base of the pitcher and create a powerful vortex as the blades spin, ensuring all ingredients are drawn into the blades and thoroughly pured. The industrial-strength stainless steel blades crush and liquefy in seconds, powered by a motor that generates 750-watts, more than on e horsepower. The blender has seven cycles that allow you to gently emulsify a vinaigrette or pure soups with a commercial food processor's vigor, and the unit has two pre-programmed settings (ice crush and smoothie) that...

The Best Ice Cream Maker. After rigorous testing by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this ice cream maker proved to be the best because it churns creamy, soft, flavorful ice cream and allows you to make consecutive batches without stopping to refreeze the canister. Its specially designed paddle quickly whipped air into the ingredients for cookies n cream, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, resulting in velvety smooth, rich frozen desserts that were far superior to the dense, ice crystal-laden confection produced by lesser models. Panelists lauded the best ice cream maker for its very flavorful and creamy frozen custard that demonstrated a texture and thickness that was the best, while other machines produced ice cream that was gummy with little-to-no taste . Unlike other models that require the mixing bowl to be primed in the freezer for 24 hours, this ones internal freezing mechanism automatically chills the mixing canister to -4° F in minutes, eliminating extended preparation and...

The Classic Soda Fountain Milkshake Mixer. Made by Hamilton Beach, pioneers of the first milkshake mixer in 1911, this is the classic spindle mixer favored by soda fountains and contemporary restaurants for its ability to make two professional 12-oz. milkshakes, malts, and smoothies in 30 seconds.

The Cordless Straightening Iron. This cordless straightening iron provides fast, efficient hair straightening without heat damage and frizz because it uses 1 1/2" wide ceramic plates fused with tourmaline, a pyroelectric mineral that releases negatively-charged ions when heated, eliminating frizz and static electricity from hair at the cuticle layer to give hair a naturally-smooth, shiny sheen. The iron has 30 heat settings, and takes 90 seconds to achieve an ideal temperature for straightening, and can reach a maximum of 395° F. The plates distribute heat evenly without hot spots that can damage hair. Straightener: 11" L x 3" W. Charging base: 4 1/2" Diam. (1 1/2 lbs.) See less

The Worlds First OLED Television. This is the worlds first flat panel television that uses OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology to deliver the brightest, most vivid picture available on a screen that is merely 1/8" thick--about the thickness of two pennies. OLED displays are produced not by the bulky, inefficient backlighting found in LCD or plasma televisions, but by carbon-based materials deposited on film that shine brilliantly when an electric current passes through them. OLED pixels express true-to-life color because electric currents selectively stimulate relevant pixel patterns, producing highly saturated individual colors that combine to form a broad color spectrum similar to the natural worlds. To render black colors, pixels turn off, resulting in com plete darkness and, combined with the enhanced purity of the primary color matrix (red, green, and blue), produces a contrast ratio of 1,000,000 to 1--the highest available and 100 times greater than the industry...

The Best Breadmaker. After rigorous testing by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this breadmaker was selected best for its ability to bake bread with moist, airy interiors with evenly colored and textured crust without the hard, burned exteriors common to lesser models. It baked superior, traditional sized 2 lb. loaves of white, French, and multi-grain/wheat breads because it has two kneading blades that, during the tests, ensured even mixing of ingredients, unlike all the other models that only had one kneading blade which lead to dense, heavy loaves. With a 13-hour timer that uses a pleasant beep to announce the completion of a fresh loaf, the breadmaker has eight baking cycle options, including a pre-heating mode to warm the pan, a kneading phase that stret ches the gluten strands (it can also make gluten-free breads), three rising phases and three stir down phases, a baking phase, and warming phase. Options may be enabled or disabled in different combinations according to the type... See less
