I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out and bought fresh fruit, only to have it mold by sitting in my refrigerator’s crisper drawer. It’s both a waste of food and money and can be quite frustrating at times. This is where BLUE enters the picture.

BLUE will cleanse your fruits through emitting a special light that kills bacteria on the skin of your pears, peaches and other delicious delicacies (a process known as Action Fresh Blue technology.) A beautiful blue ambient light glows when the device is on and cleansing your food. BLUE comes with a charger and a removable bowl that you can easily clean.

For those that live in places where the climate does not allow you to live without an air-conditioner, you will understand how annoying it is to clean the filters inside. We all aim to clean it at least once a year, but sometimes it is up till the point when we can’t stand the smell any more do we take turns to do the cleaning. Sanyo’s new Seasonal Color air-conditioner EX series have a few gadgets in their to save your trouble. There is UV that kills the germs, there’s Ozone that reacts with whatever that gives out smell, there’s also a CO2 and air quality sensor in there that once activated can suck out the air indoors and replace it with filtered clean ait from the outside. With that, we probably would have never needed to wash our air-conditioners for the rest of our lives. These machines will come out in March, selling at $2.3K in Japan. — Sam Chan

Most of us know that the toothbrush is one of the great inventions ever that can serve multiple purposes. Not only can they be used to brush our teeth, they can also be used to clean nasty stains around the kitchen sink (ask your mom). We have seen electric toothbrushes around for a while now, but JIC has actually renamed their electric toothbrush to make you feel more legit when you’re scrubbing the sink. You can choose from the multiple brush heads bundled with the kit, depending on how nasty you think the stain is, or how much your teeth can take. Apart from the noise, the Impress team has found no fault with this $30 gadget. — Sam Chan
