LOVESQUALITY says "CHEAP WORKMANSHIP!" about Black and Decker Toaster Oven - Classic Toast-R-Oven

LOVESQUALITY — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:05:46 GMT

I agree with the reviewer who said the door is a "pain in the rump". The door brings out the sliding toast rack and it ALWAYS gets caught making it difficult to shut the door again.

The timer for the toast has never worked. It is VERY, VERY imprecise. Sometimes there is a "bing" noise and sometimes there isn't when the toaster is turned off after using. The toast must be watched CONSTANTLY because it will burn if you are not constantly vigilant.

This is a cheap, cheap imitation of the toaster ovens Black and Decker used to make which were actually quite good. This was a replacement for a Kitchenaid Convection Toaster Oven which was given to charity after a month because it took ten minutes to make toast.

Doesn't anyone make a relatively small, HIGH quality toaster oven which looks half-way decent on the countertop? I am all but giving up hope after reading so many internet reviews on many toaster ovens which FAIL to live up to what they are supposed to do. I guess what I want is a TOASTER...

LOVESQUALITY says "You want your toast this month?" about KitchenAid Stainless Steel Toaster Oven

I bought this KitchenAid toaster oven because I trusted the brand.and it looked better than most of the competition too. However, when toasting a slice of bread takes about eight to ten minutes, it is more than frustrating. This is a counter oven, not a "toaster oven".

We gave it to charity within a couple of months and took a tax deduction.

LOVESQUALITY says "So very disappointed at $1900 including tax!" about Asko D3531XLHDSS Dishwasher

LOVESQUALITY — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:50:40 GMT

I thought splurging "big time" on a top of the line dishwasher was money well invested. WRONG!

This dishwasher, the ASKO 3531, cleans great. Superbly! I'll give it that.

HOWEVER:

The inside set-up, for all of its fancy up and down dish-holders (and some of them flip down all the time at inopportune moments!), does not allow for nearly as many dishes being put in as the KtichenAid it was replacing. We estimate that it holds just over a half of the amount of dirty dishes! It looks great inside in the store, but at home and loading the dishwasher, it is a completely different story! This dishwasher would be great for a playhouse. It would be a very expensive toy, but just suited! I call it my "miniature" dishwasher. I feel like I am "playing house" everytime I put something in it! It is just upsetting to know I have three payments of $640 each (with no interest) to pay for this mistake.

Don't get fooled by the "tall tub". Big deal if you are losing space for all the everyday things!...

LOVESQUALITY says "Bissell mop is a God-send!" about Bissell Steam Mop

LOVESQUALITY — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:24:51 GMT

The Bissell steam mop has changed my life for the better! I am the type to use disinfectant and a mop, rinsing out the mop in the sink before re-dipping it in the disinfectant as not to spread the dirty water around. I have arthritis in the knees and in the spine and doing it that way was quite a strain. Two wringings for every small area mopped! OUCH!

And I don't think those disposable pad mops are that great......

Then I saw the Bissell steam mop demonstrated and read almost every single review on the internet. I was very impressed. When the mop arrived, it took about two minutes to assemble and about one minute to pre-heat. And it was easy to mop!!!! The re-washable pad worked great and went through the washing machine just great. I have four pads as I ordered a couple of extra to have ready at all times.

I feel that I have achieved the sanitation level I am looking for and the floor looks good too! I am quite proud of myself for being smart enough to buy this mop! You will be thanking...
