@dkfick - I'd imagine that the boiling wort would foul the chime quickly.

Those damn bubbles were never enough to alert me as I napped, now I have an audible alarm. What's next, peanut butter and jelly already mixed together in the same jar?

So the product, by their own admission, is not even REAL yet. Still a sparkle in someone's eye. A mere piece of gray matter on the horizon... Yeah, sure, I should buy one of these.

You gotta check the site out. I have to say this was my first flummox of the year. I had to get away because my neck was twitching. "ERROR! ERROR!"

This paragraph has been up on that site for nearly 2 years. Is this thing made from some hard to get metal or what???

I just turn on my kitchen digital thermometer and set it to 210 degrees. stick in the probe and when it buzzes, the water's boiling.

@iisaic: Was that spiffy digital probe less than $9.99? Did it have such an amazingly catchy name? Is it as stylish? I think not! In for 3!!!

i ordered something called a Wakemate last February from a company like this where they took preorders. This month (1 year later) they finally emailed me saying the wakemate is ready to ship and I need the pay the balance. Last Feb. I prepaid $5 to get applied at ship time and it was supposed to get me free shipping too. The price went up from about $50 to $60 now and I get this in the email:

"Please note: when checking out you will be charged the price of $59.99. Your pre-order deposit has been refunded, and will not be applied to the purchase price."

anyway be prepared to wait an unknown amount of time before you actually get some of these presale products, if at all.

I like the idea of this product. It's the same behind a kettle whistling when the water's ready. I don't see you guys making fun of that one. I always go do other stuff while waiting for the water to boil. I go back and check on it frequently. I think it's worth the $10-$15 bucks for this if it eliminates all those trips back and forth to the kitchen.

...because water boils way faster with the lid off and a bathtub toy in it.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
