it has made a lot of recipes so much easier, like cookie dough, quick and easy. put all the wet ingredients in and then blend it for 30 seconds, add the dry ingredients all at once, blend it for another 30 seconds, and then chocolate chips, nuts, cranberries... blend it for 10 seconds and we had cookie dough. the ninja has really changed the way i cook in the kitchen. [♪...] >> well, i've just finished making the pizza sauce with all fresh ingredients. could you spread it out on the dough for me? >> sure, those herbs smell great. >> now i'm gonna grate the mozzarella cheese, but this cheese is really soft and very difficult for most food processors to grate, but it's no problem for the ninja system. just a few pulses. one, two... three, and then one a little bit longer... >> uh-huh. >> check this out. >> it's perfect. >> look how easy that was. >> oh, so easy! >> now i'm gonna chop the onions. watch this. one, two, three, four... and that's it.

look at this. >> you're right! perfectly chopped. >> let's put a little bit of this ham on the pizza. this was chopped earlier by the ninja... and some green vegetables, spinach, all right. and of course, these wonderful, perfectly chopped onions. look at this. all right, you're gonna pop that in the oven. ...pizza's ready. >> oh wow, that was fast. [♪...] mmm... mmm! this is hot, it's so cheesy and delicious! [♪...] >> woman: it does everything you want it to. i'm able to replace a lot of other pieces of equipment that i have, such as a food processor. the chopping ability is exceptional. it's just a very versatile, efficient product. it does so much and it only, it only takes up this amount of space on your counter. [♪...] >> announcer: even after a full year, lisbeth uses her ninja every day, and her friends love their ninjas too! >> i've been using the ninja for a year, every day of the year. i make my smoothies in the morning, i... soups and cookie dough and, i mean, you name it, i use it. ...so we're gonna make some

hummus, and today we're gonna add some basil. it makes it beautiful, it makes it colorful and tastier. you're blending everything all at once and you're not having to wait for it to go down to the bottom to be mixed. and that's why i think it's made my recipe better. i had told some of my friends and they wanted to know more what everyone was saying aboute it and all the reviews, and i was, i was saying, yes, it's true. it's worked out, i love it. i do have my family and friends that actually have purchased a ninja-- they love it. ...it's perfect. >> announcer: portland, oregon is home to one of the country's fastest rising rock star chefs, ben dyer. we gave him a ninja to try in his restaurant. let's hear what he has to say. >> we really kind of pushed the product to really find out what it could do. not only was the consistency smoother, but really what we noticed was the flavor really

intensified because we really were able to break down those ingredients so well. i feel like a ninja would really be a great tool to have in the kitchen for the home chef. so when i'm making my korean-style chicken wings i start out with some green onions, gigier and garlic... drop those in. follow it with a little bit of honey and sesame oil. a little bit of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. and last, but not least, the secret ingredient: some gochujang korean-style chili paste. pop the top on, lock it down. fire it up. [whirring...] there it goes, it's breaking it all down. and we're done. pour it over the chicken wings. give it a little quick toss. and there it is, korean-style chicken wings. >> announcer: the people have spoken! in just one year the ninja has taken the world by storm. people everywhere are blown away by the power, the quality and the versatility of the ninja

>> announcer: the following is a paid presentation brought to you from edenpure. all of the testimonials are by actual edenpure customers who volunteered their stories and were given another edenpure heater in thanks for their participation. [♪...] here's important news. the all-new, fourth-generation edenpure portable infrared heater has just been chosen by bob vila as his number-one home-heating product for the 2011-2012 heating season. >> i absolutely recommend the new edenpure gen4 heater for everyone who wants to dramatically cut their heating bills and still be comfortably warm. that's why i've made it my top recommendation for home heating. not only for cost savings, but for comfort and safety as well. >> announcer: all over the country, happy edenpure owners are saving big money by taking control of their home heating bills. whether you use natural gas, heating oil, propane or all-electric, the new edenpure

gen4 can help you save big on your heating bills while keeping you toasty warm. >> i have almost a 2,000-square-foot home and it's solely electric heat and, uh, the first month it was fairly cold out and i turned the electric furnace off and just ran the edenpure heater solely, and it dropped the heating bill from about 250 to $125-130 the very first month. >> it's just a constant, warm heat that stays on all the time and it doesn't go hot and cold. and you save money. >> with edenpure, i save on propane right at $2,000 a year. >> even though we're spending $20 more a month for electricity, we're still saving $80 worth of gas, natural gas bill, so we are still way ahead. and we are really warm.

>> hi, i'm richard karn, and i am delighted to be joining the edenpure team. >> and i'm jane morse, and i've got to tell you, i've never felt more warm and cozy. >> well, i have that effect on women. >> oh-- yeah, o.k., well, what i mean is that i get to tell you how warm and cozy you can feel by saving money on your home heating with the edenpure. >> so it wasn't me? >> it was probably... partially you. >> and i'll be introducing you to actual edenpure customers who have taken control of their home heating costs, like margie mefford. can you remember the last time you saw someone smiling while holding their heating bill? and stay tuned for my exclusive visit with bob vila. you'll find out why bob has made the edenpure his top recommendation for home heating for 2011 and 2012. >> so, richard, you're telling me we're going to hear from a real home improvement expert? >> hey, i own a home-- i make hundreds of home improvement decisions all the time. >> like that time you changed

a light bulb? >> exactly. now, here's just one of the great things that bob had to say about the gen4. >> when i chose the edenpure as my number-one home heating product for last year, i was absolutely convinced that the edenpure could save people money on their home heating bills. for this year, i'm delighted to say that this new gen4 model is better than ever, and everyone who cares about comfort and safety as well as cost savings should take advantage of edenpure's 60-day no-risk trial and try it for themselves. >> richard, i'm glad to hear bob talk about comfort and safety as well as saving money. edenpure can not only slash heating costs, but it's safe. it will never get hot, so you can rest easy. plus edenpure emits heat that quickly fills your room with comfortable, even warmth from the floor to the ceiling. >> that's right. as a matter of fact, this is kind of a cool thing. take a look at this test footage shot with an infrared camera. old-fashioned burning coil heaters shoot out dangerously hot currents of air that quickly

rush up to heat the ceiling. they actually burn the air, and that wastes expensive energy. here you can see how hot the old-fashioned heater gets, and over a 15-minute period, it shows how all the heat from this old heater rushes up to the ceiling while the rest of the room is cold. >> now let's run the same test with an edenpure. you can clearly see that over the same 15-minute period, the edenpure gently warms the entire room, enveloping it like a comforting blanket. and look at the edenpure itself. it doesn't get dangerously hot like burning coil heaters. >> so, not only is edenpure cost-efficient, it also heats faster and is much safer than old-fashioned space heaters. >> those are very powerful claims, but rather than have us tell you about the edenpure, let's meet real people who have used the edenpure in their own homes and hear what they have to say. >> we'll start in vancouver, washington, where leslie wilson liked her edenpure so much, she actually turned off the gas furnace in her condo.

>> the edenpure has saved me quite a bit on my gas bills. i have turned my gas off in the house completely. just the fact... just for the fact that the edenpure heats the whole house. >> i have saved in the neighborhood of around at least $700 a year in terms of gas i haven't had to pay for because of the edenpure heater. >> and in this area, here at the farm we heat with fuel oil, so i would say in a month, an edenpure heater... is saving me $100-120 by not having the furnace go on and use the fuel oil. >> when i first started using the electric furnace, my, my largest bill was $160 a month, which is in the middle of the winter, and after the furnace went out, the electrical furnace went out and i started using edenpure solely, my electric

[phone ringing, ♪...] >> one thing i like about it, it's not a drying heat, the room stays humid in the wintertime, and in our climate, that's important, too, to have it warm and humid and it just stays very comfortable, even heat, whereas if i use my forced air furnace, it comes on, goes off, and, um, blows, and the edenpure is just very quiet and comfortable, and i really appreciate it. >> welcome back. we'll be joining bob vila in a few seconds, but first, richard is on location and has some shocking news from the u.s. department of energy.

>> thanks, jane. this report on home heating from the department of energy says that the average american home may be getting only half the heat you're paying for. now, we're gonna put the department of energy document number up on the screen so you folks at home can look it up online, but i'm quoting from the report now... and then it goes on to conclude that... >> jane: wow, richard. if that's the bad news, what's the good news? >> the good news is i'm here with a very special guest who is without a doubt america's favorite home improvement expert, mr. bob vila. bob, thank you for joining us. >> it's my pleasure, richard. >> now, bob, i had a lot of fun playing a home improvement expert on tv, but you're the real deal. we've been trying to make sense of this report from the u.s.

department of energy that says that half of what people are spending on home heating could be wasted. could you explain to us what this means? >> sure. the typical home has a furnace with a forced air system. the heated air is delivered through metal ductwork to each room. the problem is that many homes have bare metal ducts that run along uninsulated outside walls or through cold attics. in those cases, the metal ducts themselves would be chilled to whatever the outside temperature is. and when the furnace kicks on, it has to work to heat up the ducts before it can deliver any heat to the living area. it's the same principle people often see with their hot water in the winter. you turn on the shower and it has to run and run before the water gets hot at the shower head. that's because the pipes are cold, and you have to heat them up before you get hot water in the shower. and, of course, you pay for that wasted heat. but the problem's even worse with forced air heating ducts, because they are probably also leaking heated air into the crawlspace, and you never know how bad that problem is without paying for an expensive pressure

test of the whole system. >> now, what about these newer furnaces that are supposed to be more than 90% efficient? >> well, that's true, as far as it goes, but that only refers to the immediate output of the furnace-- it does not refer to how much heat is lost through the ductwork. according to the department of energy, a high-efficiency furnace can give you 90 cents on the dollar for the fuel you pay for. but another 25 to 40 cents on the dollar can be lost through the ductwork. >> so, by the time you heat the living area, the typical house really could be losing about half of what they spend on heating. >> unfortunately, that's true, whether you burn natural gas, heating oil, propane. as a matter of fact, i recently shot some video with a specialist on home heating efficiency. i'd like to share it with your viewers. >> sure, let's take a look. >> i'm here with karl balla, who is a certified home energy rater. karl, tell us what we're looking g at here. >> well, bob, this is a basement of a typical home. 10 years old, forced air furnace, standard metal ductwork. >> and what are you

holding there? >> well, this is a special infrared camera, bob, that i use to show my clients where their home is wasting heat. >> why don't you show us how it works? >> well, if you'll stand over next to the furnace there... we can see the basement is about 58 degrees, the furnace box is about 130 degrees, and your skin temperature is right in the middle. >> so what can you tell us about this home's heating system? >> well, let's look at the main duct as it stretches away from the furnace. see how every joint in the ductwork is hotter than the duct itself? that tells me heat is escaping from these seams. >> and that's not because the ducts are damaged, that's the way they were designed. >> that's right, they have a little space in them so they don't pop and crack every time they expand when they get hot or contract when they get cold. unfortunately, they also leak heat. >> right. >> karl: here you see the joint to the vent in the floor above. you can see how much blowback heat is being thrown back into the cold basement. >> that's bad enough down here

with all this cold concrete to suck the heat away, but what happens when the duct runs up the outside wall? >> well, let's go take a look. here you can clearly see the heat being lost, right through the siding of the house. and just look at the heat leakage at that top vent. >> that really tells the story. you know, now that you've pointed it out, i can actually feel the warmth right here on the wall. >> and this is being shot on a cool summer morning, can you picture the amount of heat lost on a cold winter day? >> yeah, and there's no easy fix, there's no way you could seal the ductwork or add insulation without having to tear the wall open. >> that's exactly right, bob. >> wow, bob, that's amazing. and that's a typical 10-year-old house? >> absolutely. it was a perfect example of how heat is lost in the average american home. >> scary. now, will you come back after the break? because i'm sure our viewers would like to hear your advice on how to cut back on this wasted energy. >> i'll be happy to. >> in the meantime, let's meet a man who thought he was going to save money when he bought a high-efficiency furnace. >> well, we had to replace our gas furnace two years ago.

it was getting very old and... the people that replaced it said we would be saving a lot of money with these new furnaces because they were so efficient. but with that $5,000 cost, we certainly didn't save any money on our gas bill, that we have saved just in the last two months by having this edenpure heater. i just went through our bills, both electric as well as gas, and it was a considerable difference in what we'd paid the year before in '07, as compared to november of '08. i had indicated over a $180 difference in that one time period.

[phone ringing, ♪...] >> welcome back. so far we've heard bob vila explain why the average homeowner is losing up to half the heat they pay for. and we've learned how the edenpure quartz infrared heater has helped many thousands of american families cut their heating bills. >> that's right, jane. and as we're going to show, compared to the average inefficient furnace and duct system, the edenpure is virtually 100% efficient. you know, this really is the dirty little secret of the replacement furnace industry. oh, yeah, they'll sell you a so-called high-efficiency furnace, but they may not

mention the heat you lose in the ductwork. compare that with the edenpure. you get 100% of the warmth generated by the edenpure right where you need it, with nothing lost, either up the flue or in the ductwork. >> but, richard, even that's not the whole story. the edenpure also incorporates advanced technology that's far more efficient at generating heat from electricity than old-fashioned burning coil heaters. >> richard: and that advanced technology is also why the edenpure is so safe to use, and the choice of fire and safety professionals for their homes. let's go now to meet neil tyburk with the technical details on what makes edenpure's quartz infrared heating so efficient and so effective. >> this new fourth-generation edenpure has at its core another quantum leap in heating efficiency. edenpure worked with our technology partners at sylvania to yet again increase the efficiency of the edenpure system for turning electricity into safe and comfortable warmth.

the heart of the system is this newly designed and patented infrared tube. this exclusive technology creates waves of infrared heat at a prescribed wavelength to be most efficiently absorbed by our specially designed pure copper heat exchangers. these cured copper heat exchangers absorb this infrared heat and transfers it as ambient warmth to the air flow provided by our new edenflow air motion system. the filtered air is channeled along the outside of the copper heat exchanger and then routed back through the center of the chamber to effectively double the surface area of the heat transfer zone. our new edenflow system is contained and directed by a new interior housing, which not only directs the highly efficient air flow, it also acts as another safety barrier between the heating elements and the exterior casing. this is just another example of edenpure's working to be the safest heater you can buy for your home, as well as

the most efficient. >> i was looking at alternative sources of heat for my home when i ran across the edenpure. the one thing i liked about it was that it didn't have any direct heat that would set a fire on your furniture, your pets, your family, anything like that. and, being a fireman, we run into... several times a year, we run into these space heaters that create fires and burn homes down, cause life damage, property damage, and that was my big selling point on the edenpure, more than even the cost savings was the safety issue of it. >> now, bob, you've shown us how inefficient and wasteful furnace and duct systems can be, so what is it about the edenpure that makes it so much more efficient? >> there are two major reasons that adding an edenpure can save money on home heating. first, because you use the edenpure exactly where you need the heat, virtually 100% of the heat you pay for is delivered directly to the living area. nothing is lost up the chimney and nothing is lost in either cold or leaky ducts. so right off the bat, you go from a system that might be only 50% efficient to a system that's

virtually 100% efficient. to save the most money, many people also use their edenpure for zone heating, which isn't possible with their existing furnace setup. so they lower the whole house thermostat from 72 to 65 or even 60 degrees and they use the edenpure to create a comfort zone in the family room or the living room-- wherever they live. this is how the edenpure is helping thousands of families dramatically cut their heating bills. but there's one more thing. >> what's that, bob? >> when i got my edenpure, i was ready to believe that it could save money on heating bills, because i've always been a big believer in zone heating. but i was afraid that it was going to be just another cheap space heater, where you fry if you're sitting too close, and you freeze if you're on the other side of the room. in fact, i was delighted to find that the edenpure does a great job of safely filling up to a thousand-square-foot area with even, comfortable warmth. i absolutely recommend the edenpure for the sake of comfort, as well as the cost savings. >> great. thank you, bob, for all your time. >> my pleasure, richard. >> now let's meet a family who

knows something about comfort. >> the savings is really, really good, but that's not the first thing i say. i say, "the heat is really, really good." the... it's just such a different heat. even though we have a spa, an infrared spa... and we know what that is, most people don't understand what an infrared heat feels like. and i says, "it just warms your, your bones." i don't how to put it any other way. >> richard, these testimonials are fantastic. it doesn't seem to matter whether our customers use natural gas, heating oil, propane, or all electric. the edenpure is saving them money and keeping their families safe and warm. >> and when you have bob vila explaining why the edenpure is so much more efficient and how zone heating with edenpure can cut your energy costs, the only only question left is "how can i get a new edenpure gen4 for that risk-free 60-day trial?" >> thanks for joining us,

and we'll put that toll-free number up in just a second. >> but first you gotta hear about this. john and sandy hopkins saved so much money on their gas bill that the gas company thought their meter was broken. >> we are on a budget with the gas company, so i have been watching our actual usage to see if we were saving money that way. in february, we had a $181 credit, and i was very happy, because we've never had that in this house-- we have a... it's a very big house, and usually we don't come even or even have a credit until may-june. in march... march 13th, we received a letter stating, "we are trying to reach you regarding the consumption on your gas meter. it is inconsistent with normal usage at your address. please phone our office as soon as possible so that we can make arrangements to enter your home, in the event we need to change your meter."

so we went from having a $181 credit to receiving this letter from the gas company... >> which i thought was pretty funny, 'cause, um... i guess they didn't want us to conserve. they tell us to, but they don't really want us to. ...all right, here's my brand- shiny-new gas meter from the columbia gas that they insisted i needed because i was using the edenpure heater, so i was obviously not using enough gas, so now i still have the edenpure heater and a shiny, new gas meter.
