Home.Woot! – Mr. Coffee Single-Serve Coffee Maker Powered by Keurig Just $49.99

I love my Keurig. It is my favorite kitchen gizmo. I’d say it is my favorite gizmo outside of consumer electronics. And today Home.Woot! is offering a refurbished Mr. Coffee Single-Serve Coffee Maker Powered by Keurig for only $49.99 + $5 S&H.

This unit seems to be the Mr. Coffee version of the Keurig MINI Plus unit I started out with. It served me well for a year, but I loved it so much my fiancee upgraded me to the Keurig B70 as a gift this past xmas and I passed the MINI on to friends. Anyway, this Mr. Coffee unit looks like it has the same basic features. Fill your mug with water. Open the top and pour it in. Insert a K-Cup. Place your mug on the tray. And hit brew. In a couple of minutes you have a fresh, hot beverage. Just dispose of the K-Cup and you’re done.

I love it because I don’t drink enough coffee or tea to bother making a full pot, but I enjoy it often enough that being able to brew a cup whenever I want makes me happy. Simple pleasures. And my fiancee likes it for a fast cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter’s day. It’s also nice for offering guests a cup any time.

This Mr. Coffee unit has an MSRP of $99.99, and sells new for $88.04, so this is a solid deal – 50% off MSRP. Join the Keurig Kult.

Today’s Home.Woot! deal is a refurbished Dyson DC23 Turbinehead Canister Vacuum for only $199.99 + $5 S&H. What can I say? It is a vacuum – just a very good one. We have a Dyson and we love it. It is a well designed product that does its job well, and what more can you ask for, really? This seems like a decent deal as the MSRP is $549.99 and Amazon sells them new for $318.00, so this is a significant discount.

Home.Woot! – Little Giant 13-Foot Ladder Just $149.99

Yes, it is a ladder. I also consider it a gizmo. I own one of these, well, a similar Little Giant model, and it is great. It is one of those crazily adjustable ladders. You can use it as an A-frame step ladder, and the legs extend so you can vary the height. Make it asymmetrical to use on stairs. Open it up 180 degrees to use as an extension ladder. With the legs collapsed and it folded closed it doesn’t take up much space to store. Every home should have a good ladder.

I know too many people just climb up on a chair, or some other furniture, to change a light bulb, smoke detector battery, hang something, etc. Heck, I used to do the same thing – and I also took a few spills and broke some furniture doing it. Sure there are some funny stories – like my roommate standing on a nightstand he thought was wood, but was really particle board with veneer. Next thing he knew he was just a couple of inches off the floor – the top had telescoped straight down into the base and he was standing in the nightstand, not on it. Funny, in an Inspector Clouseau/Buster Keaton way, but only because he wasn’t hurt. But having a real ladder is a better idea, and this is a good ladder. I personally recommend it based on my experience.

The one downside is that these ladders tend to be a bit pricey. Amazon sells another 13′ Little Giant model for $196.99 – and it doesn’t have the wheels, work platform, or paper towel holder. Home.Woot! is selling the Little Giant 13-Foot Ladder with Wheels & Paper Towel Holder for only $149.99 + $5 S&H. I think it is worth having one. Check out the demo video:
