the same time. and this floor will dry in less than 60 seconds with a streak-free shine. now on laminate floors, pergo floors, you can always depend on the power of steam. watch it cut through the stain-- dirt, grease, muddy footprints, grime. i'm not cleaning with chemicals. i'm cleaning with only water. get off your hands and knees and clean with steam at 230 degrees. now, i've been using this on maximum setting. all i'm gonna do now is use the adjustable steam control and turn it down to a lower setting, and we're gonna go to work on this wood floor. it cleans and it polishes, leaving a streak-free shine and no chemicals. whether you've got scuff marks or just dirt and dust, you can use steam all day long. but i've saved the best till last-- tile. if you're looking for a streak-free shine, you can depend on the power of steam and the power of microfiber to trap the dirt. it cleans and it polishes all at the same time, and it'll

even kill up to 99% of salmonella and e. coli. when you clean with the power of steam, you clean, you sanitize and you deodorize using just the power of steam. >> i really liked how i could clean my hard floors and then put the x5 right into the glider and move straight onto the carpet, and it leaves my carpet looking new and smelling fresh. >> it's also an amazing carpet steamer and it comes with a glider for using on carpets. and there's a reason for that. but if you want to breathe life back into or refresh your carpets, then wait till you see how the x5 works. i'm actually gonna to draw on this carpet using this wax pencil. this could be dirt, it could be grease, grime or muddy footprints. now even when it's full of water, the x5 weighs less than five pounds. it's lightweight and it's easy to use. and when you put it in the glider, it glides effortlessly over carpet. the steam penetrates deep into the carpet, relaxing the nap and it'll break down the dirt, the grease and the grime.

you're cleaning at 230 degrees. that stain is gone. so if you've ever thought about renting a big carpet cleaner or hiring professionals, save your money and your time and keep it clean using the power of steam. >> it's an all-in-one product that you can use on bathrooms, living room, dining room... >> wood floor to tile floor to your baby toys... >> on your stove, you can use it in the bathroom. you can use it in the shower... >> it's an all-in-one product that you can use throughout your whole house. >> now i want to show you how the x5 goes from being one of the best steam mops you'll ever use to being one of the best handheld steamers you'll ever use. all i've got to do is unclick the handle like this, push the button on the base of the mop-- now i've got one of the best handheld steamers you'll ever use. one-touch operation will heat this steam up to 230 degrees in less than 30 seconds. you can use this to clean every surface in the kitchen, and i'm gonna start with the kitchen sink. come and take a look at this. if you've got a garbage disposal and you've got odors, all you've

got to do is place the x5 handheld unit down one side and look at the steam rise out of the other side. you're cleaning, you're deodorizing and you're sanitizing using the power of steam with no chemicals. now all i'm gonna do is turn it off and grab the jet nozzle. and i love the jet nozzle because what it does, it actually concentrates the steam. look how quickly this fires up. look at the way the steam concentrates. i get excited when i do this. it breaks down the buildup, the dirt, the grease and the grime. it'll even kill up to 99% of salmonella and e. coli and it polishes without using chemicals. look at that-- it's clean. now i want to talk about chopping boards. you can't put a wood chopping board in a dishwasher because it'll warp. watch this. think of all the food preparation that you do on your chopping board. don't use chemicals-- blast it using the power of steam. look at it break down all the mess on this chopping board. get rid of bacteria from raw chicken, from fish. neutralize the salmonella.

look how this just cuts through the grease and the grime-- that chopping board is clean. and i've done this right before your eyes right here. look at that! there's your before and there's your after-- all clean using the power of steam. >> i don't like to mix chemicals and food products together. >> you can sit there and scrub and scrub and scrub with regular dishwater. this is taking me a minute. >> the jet nozzle also comes with a brush attachment. now, i want you to think about this-- cooktops. whether you have gas or electric or a glass one like this, they are hard to clean. the food stains get everywhere. o.k., my crew have burned this on. this could be baked on, burned on. use steam-- no need to rub, no need to scrub, no need to use chemicals. all i'm gonna do is wipe that away. it gets into all the nooks and crannies. whether it's baked on or caked on, the proof is right there on the rag-- all using the power of steam with the x5. >> you wouldn't have to scrub with a toothbrush or with anything else. >> woman: it gets the grime,

the dirt, everything off immediately. >> woman: you can't get any fresher or safer than just plain water. >> another great attachment that comes with the x5 is the extension hose and the dusting and polishing bonnet. if you've got stainless steel appliances like this fridge, you know you have fingerprints on them, and you normally have to break out the stainless steel cleaner. watch the steam go to work. it cleans and polishes at 230 degrees. and what i like about using steam is in less than 60 seconds, the fingerprints are gone and the stainless steel is clean and dry. it just makes sense to clean with steam. >> the very first thing that struck me and i've gotta say this: it was a nice, long cord. i didn't have to plug, unplug, go to another room, plug, unplug, and that, i thought, was really exceptional. >> anthony: when we come back, you'll see the x5 work on glass, grout and even garments-- all cleaned using the power of steam. >> announcer: it's time for the x5, the only 5-in-one steam-cleaning machine that helps clean and sanitize virtually every surface in

like best about cleaning with steam in the bathroom is the fact that you're cleaning with superheated water and that means no chemicals-- especially in confined spaces. so if you want to clean around your sink fixtures, use the power of steam. now, right now i'm using the jet nozzle, but i want you to see how it gets in these hard-to-reach areas. it'll get around your fixtures. you don't have to rub and scrub and inhale those chemicals. and you can see: all that is just melted down-- the proof is on the pad. but even if you just use the x5 for this next job, i promise you, it is worth every single penny. clean, sanitize and deodorize with superheated water at 230 degrees. you hear that? [steam hissing] that's the sound of clean. that's the sound of steam-- all coming from the x5. and if you think that's good, wait till you see this in the shower. >> an x5 is a cleaning machine without chemicals that cleans everything. >> when it comes to cleaning your shower, your tub or your tile, you want to use the jet nozzle with the nylon brush.

watch how good it cleaned this tile. grout can be one of the hardest things to clean in the bathroom and the last thing you want to do is to be trapped in a confined area with chemicals and a toothbrush. with the x5, using the nozzle with the nylon brush, you can see the hot steam blasting away the grime with just gentle scrubbing. whether it's vertical grout or horizontal grout in your shower or on the floor-- let the x5 be your go-to cleaner. turn it off-- one-touch operation-- all i do is wipe that wall down and that bathroom looks as good as new-- all cleaned using the power of steam. >> when i used the x5 to clean my grout, i did not have to scrub hard at all. with the power of the x5, it easily cleaned the grime in my grout. >> another great attachment that you get with the x5 is the window, glass and mirror cleaner. you're gonna love it. all i'm gonna do is turn it on and you'll see in seconds the steam already starts to come out. and you've got a "coral" microfiber bonnet here with

a squeegee attachment. why am i using it in the shower? if you've got hard water stains on your shower doors, watch this. all you've got to do is let the steam do the work. it's gonna start to break down the hard water stains, break down the soap scum. now you're cleaning with steam. let the microfiber break it down and then you've got the squeegee. all i do is i run the squeegee right across there and that glass is clean. >> i think the x5 is very lightweight-- you can do it with one hand. >> just glided across the floor effortlessly. >> i've never gotten crayon off of a floor-- never. >> when it comes to steaming your clothes, you've got a couple of options. you could spend hundreds of dollars a year on dry cleaning or you could go out and buy a steamer like this. now, this costs almost $300, it's heavy and it takes forever to heat up. or you could use the x5, because it comes with a garment and upholstery steamer. one touch and it starts to steam immediately. watch this. for your delicate fabrics, all you do is let the steamer

run over the fabric and every wrinkle will drop out just by running it down there. the steam does the work of a steam iron without having to break out an ironing board or the iron. >> what i like about this is it actually can do all the sequins and all of your delicates that you have. and not having to go to a cleaners to spend the money when you have this and can do it-- this is a hundred times easier. >> anthony: the steam glides right over the buttons, saving you time. this shirt is perfect! and don't just use it for garments. you can use it for curtains or drapes. you can even use it to refresh and deodorize bedding. and it's great for upholstery too. it's one more reason why the x5 is the only steamer you need in your house. >> i'm ronda, i'm the director of a large preschool and we have 132 in the preschool right now, ages one all the way through five. germs are everywhere. between coughs and colds that go around, children share toys-- they share germs as well. with the x5, we use the steamer on the toys. we just laid it straight down on the countertop, used the x5 to sanitize the toys and the children can use them right away

again-- they were sanitized within just minutes. we've used the steamer with the carpet in our one-year-old class because they're always on the floor. just steam those floors, we know they're clean, so if the children do drop something and pick it up and put it in their mouth before we can get to it, at least it's clean. we've used it on the chairs, used it on the sinks, the counters... sanitized the cots down. it cuts our cleaning time in half. the staff is ecstatic. they love having it in their classrooms 'cause they don't have to use the chemicals. they're so much safer, more sanitized-- a lot easier to use. >> the x5 will leave all your surfaces with a streak-free shine. that's the combination of steam and the dirt-trapping power of microfiber. and to demonstrate it, i've got a big grimed-up piece of glass right here with a mirror underneath. watch this! as i push the x5 through the stain, the steam breaks it down and the microfiber traps the dirt. you can see the proof-- it's right there on the pad. >> definitely environmentally friendly, and the microfiber pad can just be thrown in the washing machine, rather than going out and buying disposable pads again and again.

>> one of my favorite things about the x5 is that even when it's full, it weighs less than five pounds. and it has one-touch operation. and when i say one-touch operation, i mean just one touch. you can see thatt starts steaming almost immediately. now, you combine the power of steam with the dirt-trapping power of microfiber and just watch what it does to your floors. let me remind you, you're cleaning with steam. you're not cleaning with chemicals. it weighs less than five pounds. it'll cut through the grease and the grime. the reason i've got this maze here is i want you to see how agile the x5 is. its specially designed triangular head gets up against your baseboards. now, i don't want you to forget that, unlike other steamers, the x5 has adjustable steam. so if you've got delicate floors or water-sensitive wood floors like this, you can turn it down to a setting that's right for the surface you're cleaning and let the steam and the microfiber go to work. get up against your baseboards. you're using superheated water. and for my next job, i'm gonna turn it up to maximum,

'cause i want to get into the grout on this tile. now watch this. without any effort, the steam penetrates. it goes deep down into the grout, getting rid of all the dirt, the grease and the grime, using the power of steam and using microfiber. you can just let the steam sit there and it'll almost clean by itself. but this is double trouble for pretty much every floor in the house, because you've got the combination of superheated water with microfiber. it's quick, it's easy and it's hot. and did i say it was lightweight? it weighs less than five pounds, but i want you to watch this. this is marble-- a surface that most people are afraid to clean. look at the path of clean you get when you use the x5. with no effort, no rubbing, no scrubbing. i'm not down on my hands and my knees, i'm not breathing in nasty toxic chemicals-- just effortlessly letting the x5 glide across the surface, cleaning, polishing,

sanitizing, deodorizing-- all at the same time. at less than five pounds, with variable steam, you can go straight from marble to your delicate wood floors, to your water-sensitive surfaces. and if you want to get underneath your bed, underneath your couch, watch this. it lays practically flat. you can see-- it gets rid of the dirt, the grease and the grime. i've just cleaned all these surfaces with one tank of water and one pad. when it comes to cleaning your floors, the x5 is amazing! >> announcer: it's time for the x5, the only 5-in-one steam-cleaning machine that helps clean and sanitize virtually every surface in your home. the steamer that's lightweight, powerful, easy to use and features continuous, variable steam. first, it's a powerful floor steamer that heats up in seconds, blasting away dirt, grease and grime on every surface. 1300 watts of steam penetrate deep into the nooks and crannies. the superheated steam loosens

evidence they thought had been introduced, greatly prejudiced jurors against nancy kissel. >> then last year, something remarkable happened. hong kong's court of final appeal agreed with nancy kissel. the justices overturned her conviction to the delight of family and friends. >> i think justice has been served. >> and the justices ordered a new trial. it began in january of this year, with officers leading the frail defendant into court. it soon became clear to reporters that nancy kissel's faltering appearance mirrored something more troubling. >> most of the time, she was sort of sitting, rocking like this in her chair, wrapped up in a shawl, reading her bible. >> when the judge finally asked how she pleaded, nancy seemed out of it. >> she stood there, looking like a deer in the headlights. she wasn't moving or whatever. and said i don't understand, i don't understand. >> after prodding from her

lawyers, she pled guilty, not to murder but to manslaughter, a lesser charge. the prosecution promptly rejected her plea. it wanted jurors to see nancy as the calculating wife that wanted everything except a messy divorce. >> prosecution's case has always been she intended to kill him. >> the prosecution said nancy was guilty of nothing less than cold-blooded murder. it resurrected the gory details from the first trial. the drugged milkshake, the lead statue, the bloody death. >> this case is emotionally unsettling. it's disturbing to reporters who heard it for the first time, it is disturbing to reporters who heard it for the fifth time. it's a disturbing case. >> in her first trial, her lawyers argued she killed rob in self defense. this time around they claimed something called diminished responsibility. through psychiatric experts, they tried to show nancy was a

battered woman. the argument was she was in the throws of a major depression the night she killed her husband. as she listened to the testimony, nancy would sometimes break out in tears. >> sometimes audibly, sometimes just sort of to herself. and she is surrounded by three corrections officers who are constantly, you know, either holding her hand or rubbing her shoulders or trying to keep her calm. >> but tears wouldn't be enough to convince the jury. to do that, nancy would have to take the stand. over the course of five days, she retold her story of abuse at the hands of rob kissel. when the prosecutor challenged her testimony, nancy kissel lost it. >> she completely just was screaming, screaming at the top of her lungs, and it seemed like she was having a flashback. she was pointing at the floor saying he's there, he's there. he wouldn't stop.

the courtroom was dead silent. everyone, everyone's jaws dropped. >> after almost two months of testimony that dissected the state of nancy kissel's mind that terrible night, both sides rested their cases. jurors now had two options. they could find nancy guilty of murder or if they believed she had been mentally damaged when she killed rob kissel, they could find her guilty of the lesser charge, manslaughter. in that case, the judge could take into account the time she had already served, and in effect let her walk out of the courtroom a free woman. in march, after ten and a half hours of deliberations, the jury returned with its verdict. >> and the judge says is it unanimous, and they say yes, it's unanimous. and the judge says what is it? >> for the second time in more than five years, a hong kong jury found nancy kissel guilty of murder. >> there was a gasp in the

courtroom, mainly from family and supporters, and people who may have thought after hearing the evidence that it was going to be manslaughter. >> and with the same verdict came the same sentence. life in prison for nancy kissel. afterwards, her mother spoke to nbc news. >> i think for the moment, she is probably somewhat relieved that this ordeal is over. >> nancy's lawyers have told "dateline" that instead of appealing her conviction, she decided to petition for a transfer to a u.s. prison to serve out her sentence. >> the fact that she has been found guilty of murder doesn't amount to a complete story. we'll never know the truth of this case. it just won't be known. >> even if we did, it certainly wouldn't satisfy the bigger question here, the one about

robert and andrew. how is it that two brothers so different in so many important ways could both end up discovered in basements in such grisly fashion. >> the childhood friend from new jersey doesn't know. >> a quiet guy, guy that wants a yacht, runs a ponzi scheme to get it. >> he was a great salesman, could have done it on a legitimate basis. maybe he wanted it fast. maybe he needed it fast. >> some people would say the old adage, money is the root of all evil. >> right. maybe the pursuit of money is the root of all evil. >> it's natural for us to want to take the sting out of chaos. murder, cruel fate with bumper sticker wisdom. well, maybe the chinese w
