Does this save you time over the water bath method?

No. And I find it very limiting. You can ONLY use it with the very limited number of enclosed Ball approved recipes. I gave mine away.

It does not save time but it is much simpler and uses far less water. The typical time for jams is 30 min. It also does not heat up the kitchen as the water bath method. If you pair this device with the auto jam/jelly maker, everything can now be done on the counter rather than the stove.

It is much more convenient. Depending on what you are canning, it may or may not save time. For example, with jams, yes; with tomatoes, no. But not having to deal with a giant pot of boiling water is a plus.

For actual canning time, this auto canner takes longer. But for me it saves time because it sterilizes and preheats the jars for me, and I don't have to watch it while it cans. It rings when it is finished, so I can do other things.

Without question yes! in the the time it takes for a pot of water to boil you could already be processing your preserves in the electric canner. There is simply no comparison at how fast this is and how easy as well. the big debate seems to lie in how many recipes you can use...not that this is faster or not faster. And the answer to that question is also yes you can use other recipes but that takes a little more time to explain....so back to your main question...yes, there is no other way to fly to save time and for ease of preparation, the canner is the one.

NO as long as you are sitting on it.. It is a great product. Lessens the need for paper except for drying. The only regret that I have is that I wish I had bought the warm water one because whilst OK in the summer, in the winter it can be a bit cold using cold water. The bidet lessens the need to use hands and paper is only needed for drying.

Yes. It is a bit overkill, but I have found it to be the most effective way because of the directional pump. Just be aware that it removes water very quickly and to not remove too much.

Actually, I have found the opposite to be true. I cannot say it is a drastic savings, but I know factually -- my natural gas bill has ebbed down. Moreover, my water usage has also dropped -- substantially. Just an observation though: don't install it in the master bath if you are a "light" sleeper.

It does... But I found it easier to dump out the water into the tub... Went much faster!

I keep a stack of bath towels and dish towels near the sauna. One large towel covers the floor of the sauna. One dish towel covers the seat. Another I tie around my neck. This keeps sweat from soaking the collar of the sauna (and seals heat in). The third dish towel I hold against my chest and use to wipe sweat from my face and the rest of my body during the treatment. Bottom line, after well over a year of use there are no sweat stains or any sign of use. Since the floor towel stays fairly dry I use it to shower with (saves laundry). One more note: be sure to place the towels for the next treatment after use. This makes it less of of a hassle when you want to use it. When something becomes a hassle we tend to avoid it. I have to say I feel the sauna has become an important part of my health routine and try to use it at least 3 times a week. Put on some good music, load of good book on the kindle (read until the sweat starts) and enjoy.

In my opinion, it works a lot better. I find it cheaper as well, with subscribe and save. We have exceptionally hard water where I live and this has helped keep build up off the machine, spots off the utensils and just overall works as a booster to our detergent.

Yes. This soak is meant to stimulate the circulation and warm up the body to promote detoxification. Ideally you are soaking in water temperature between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes to get the best effect. Afterwards if you find yourself flushed or feeling otherwise uncomfortable, a quick rinse with water between 34-38 degrees Celsius should help.

I didn't notice much of a difference but I only use it in my bathroom while I'm showering so if you were running it all the time you might have a different experience.

Yes. I used a circular motion, with liquid bath soap for about 10-20 seconds in each spot. Similar the exfoliating your face, that motion. It should be used in the shower.

Yes, it just softens the water so you use less detergent. Don't forget to decrease your amount of detergent.

Actually, the instructions tell you to rinse. So I do, and it works very nicely. It also feels nice in the bath, so it's your choice.
1526944
yes. The entire process takes about 6 minutes. It's mostly the time to heat the water with the alcohol lamp. It is fun to watch!
1149011
Yes but just plan well ahead of bath time. It heats up to a very warm temperature but how long it takes depends on the starting temperature of the water. Stone cold to comfortable may take 2-3 hours.

Baths would probably diminish the life span. I take showers in a bathtub, but water always accumulates in the tub. Either way, the peace of mind is worth the cost, even if you have to buy one a year. You want something. I took a hard fall 10 years ago and messed up my rotator cuff. It was not a "slip and fall". It was a "slam bam/he's up, he's down" fall. Ouch . . ouch . . ouch. And, best of all, your tattooed husband will bath/shower more often ::))

I do it after a shower or a long bath as well. I can't use the same pressure as I do on the rest of my body as my skin there is much more sensitive. I use it in circular motions.

I would shower before as you want the minerals to stay on your skin. It is for a nice relaxing bath and it is meant to promote detox.
