Posted by: | Comments Comments Off

The Professor had foolishly thought that bathroom faucet innovations had gone as far as they could. Well, witness the OutReach faucet from American Standard, which features a convenient 24″ pull-out hose hidden in a traditional-looking faucet.

Green Tea: An Innovative New Lavatory Faucet

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off

Add the smart function of a pull out lavatory faucet without sacrificing style with the Green Tea Pull Out Faucet from American Standard. The Green Tea collection, designed to provide a calming sanctuary in the home, includes five sizes of whirlpools and premium air baths, along with design-matched lavatory faucets, a deck mounted tub filler, showerhead, tub spout and bath accessories. Watch the video below to see the pull out function in action.

Blogger Rachel DeMille uses her blog Second Time Around to write about the important “seconds” in her life: her second child, her second home, etc. This is particularly fitting because Rachel’s review of the innovative OutReach bathroom faucet marks the second time that the Professor has been charmed into thinking about faucets by photographs of a very cute dog being bathed with one. Last time it was Baxter the Terrier, and this time it is Rachel’s dachshund named Harley.

1. Why did you start your blog, and what is your favorite thing about blogging?

I started my blog because I wanted to review products and host giveaways because I loved finding new products. My favorite thing about blogging is getting to know people I would have never met if it weren’t for blogging.

2. How do you decide what to write about on your site?

I mostly write reviews and I try to find ones that my readers would be interested in. I also write about my life and especially about my toddler, so I try to write about things that other Moms would be interested in.

3. What is your favorite use for the pull-out sprayer that you’ve discovered so far?

My favorite use for the pull-out sprayer is cleaning the sink! I haven’t had to clean out my husband’s hair after he has shaved since we got this faucet. It’s been so nice to have!

4. Did anything surprise you about the OutReach faucet?

I was surprised at how easy it was to install. Also, I’m amazed at how clean it stays. We’ve had other faucets that seem to get dirty and get hard water spots easily, but so far this one has stayed clean for a long time!

5. How does the OutReach faucet help make your life as a mother and pet owner easier?

It’s great for washing small animals, such as our dachshund. It made his baths so much easier. It’s also great for washing my son’s hands. He has a small step stool, but he still can’t really reach the water too well. Instead of having to lift him, I can just pull out the sprayer and bring the faucet closer to him!

6. Anything else you’d like to share?

I absolutely love this faucet and can’t believe how much easier it’s made to do things. It also makes our bathroom look amazing!

This post is the third in a series of the Professor’s interviews with bloggers who have reviewed the OutReach bathroom faucet. The Professor previously interviewed Deborah Sloan of Baba’s Farm Life and Laura DeLuca who blogs at New Age Mama.

Dog Days of Summer

Summer is on its way, and in honor of the fun, more relaxed mood everyone finds themselves in this time of year, the Professor is giving in to an inner love of dogs. Maybe not an inner love of bathing dogs, but the convenient new OutReach bathroom faucet makes it really easy. And who doesn’t love a clip of an unbelievably cute dog being bathed with the pull-out faucet?
