abhi123 says "awesome product" about Canon i9900 Color Photo Printer

Big Prints, Small Footprint
The i9900 is a curvy, attractive printer styled in smoky gray tones (see Figure 1). Although it supports paper up to 13 inches wide, the printer itself is fairly small when compared to other 13-x-19-inch printers. At 23 x 14 x 7 inches, the i9900 fits easily on even a fairly shallow shelf. Paper loads from the top, so you don't need a lot of space behind the printer. Setup is very simple and you should be able to have the printer installed and printing in less than 10 minutes....

abhi123 says "not very good" about Hamilton Beach Juicer - HealthSmart

This is a serious juicer with lots of power, but there are so many "not good" pieces that I wish I could return it.

* It's noisy, noisy, noisy - you cannot talk over it.
* The way the pulp is expelled, a big lump gets caught in the lid - nasty surprise after you (think you've) emptied the pulp bin.
* More surprise in the pulp arena, it throws away chunks of fruit! We sent thru the last of the cranberries (maybe 6-7 of them)& not even a trickle of juice came thru! Sure enough, there they were on the top of the pulp bin.
* It needs 3 hands to take it apart - two to lift & one to hold the machine down...and
* Once you've got it apart, it doesn't nestle neatly back together - which is why we can't return it - we pushed down too hard on the grasping lever - <snap!> now the lid is broken.

It's also pretty big which means it has to live on the counter top - I was semi-aware of this when I bought it, but still twas a surprize to see just *how* big the darn thing is.

Oh well - live and learn.

abhi123 says "good for price" about Vornado Heater - Vortex Heater - Avth2

did a ton of research and bought a few heaters before this one but I'm most happy with the Vornado. The first two I bought were digital ceramic heaters. I have to recommend against getting a digital heater. Each time you turn it on, you have to push several controls to get back to where you like it, with this heater, you just turn it on. The only thing that kept me from buying it first was cost and the fact that it had no ceramic element which theoretically was a safer element than an electric coil. We use it in a few bedrooms that are not freezing cold but uncomfortably cold. The other great feature is it'll run on lower power and only use as much wattage as is needed to heat the room. My other heaters would run full blast till it hit the desired temperature, then turn off, repeat over and over. The trouble is, heaters will use about as much power as must rooms have available so if you have anything else plugged in, you'll throw the circuit breaker, which happened over and over for me.......

abhi123 says "too good" about Sunbeam Bread Machine 5891

For the longest time I didn't want a bread maker because they seemed so big and took up so much counter space. My mother-in-law bought this Sunbeam Breadmaker for me for Christmas last year and I've been quite pleased with it.

I really like that it has somewhat of a slim design, the bulk of the space is taken up from front to back instead of side to side. It's approximate measurements are 14"L x 10"W.

Since I've had the breadmaker I haven't gone back to making homemade, because it's so much easier. You just attach the kneading blade to the pan, add your ingredients, push a few buttons and you have a typical loaf of bread in three hours. It's great not having to knead it, shape it, keep track of the time, and worry about how it's doing in the oven.

You can use your own homemade recipes with the breadmaker, but need to accommodate them with breadmaker yeast and if you're making whole wheat bread, you'll need wheat gluten. Or you can try the recipes that Sunbeam includes in their instruction......

abhi123 says "GE where good things come to life" about GE Dishwasher - Nautilus Convertible

abhi123 — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:22:30 GMT

The way this works is just like the way mine works. What is called a Unicouple and its hoses are in a storage compartment in back of the dishwasher. This gets attached to the faucet adapter. It requires a little bit of practice to get this Unicouple into the adapter and into place but after it is done a couple of times it is a piece of cake. carries drain

It is very easy to clean. I wash the top with soap and water. The outside I'll either use soap and water or I'll spray some Fantastic on the front and sides.

My daughter and I both love that we don't have to pre-wash the dishes for them to come out clean.

G.E. has a limited one-year warranty on this machine.

I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a portable dishwasher that has a few extra bells and whistles....
