droszczm says "This juicer is great for making a healthy snack!" about jack lalane juicer

droszczm — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:21:26 GMT

I bought this juicer a few years back. I have NEVER regretted shelling out the extra dough. It will take an entire apple and make it into amazing apple juice. The pulp is extracted out the back and the juice is abundant. I have recommended this juicer to many people and will continue to do so. It is easy to clean, comes with a nice recipe book and kids love it! Mixing fruits and vegetables together in the juicer is simple and the kids never know I threw in celery or carrots! Try it...you won't be disappointed!

LillianR says "I would never buy a GE appliance again!" about G E GE 1.1 cu. ft. Capacity Countertop Microwave Oven, JES1142SJ

LillianR — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:52:57 GMT

I purchased a GE 1.1 cubic foot countertop microwave model # JES1139 at PC Richards in 2006...it started giving me problems about 2 1/2 years later. The microwave would turn off in the middle of cooking...the clock would turn off...the turn table would turn, but the food wasn't cooking! Then about 6 months later it died. I think I paid about $120 for it, so it wasn't the cheapest model! I really think it should of lasted longer than 3 years! My Panosonic microwave lasted 16 years! I don't know...maybe they just don't make things to last anymore! I'm switching back to Panosonic! If it lasts at least 10 years I'd be happy!

shiftnchick says "If I could pick a favorite thing to use, it'd be my kitchenaid."" about KitchenAid Stand Mixer - Classic

shiftnchick — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:15:00 GMT

My Kitchenaid was a bridal shower gift from my mother-in-law. I dont think she knew just how much she would be getting her money's worth! I use my kitchenaid almost everyday. It is sturdy, and I dont have to worry about it tipping over, its incredably easy to clean, and use. Even when I have it on its highest speed, it doesn't shake, or wobble, or anything. One of the great things about the kitchenaid, is its not only for mixing. There are a number of different types of attachments, and it comes with a cookbook with GREAT recipes in it! You can have it match your decore in your kitchen with the multiple colors it is available in. This product is something that I will pass on to my children and so on. Its extremely durable, and it will last that long, im almost sure of it. I can set the speed and walk away and finish watching a show, or go about prepping the rest of my food. All you have to do is set a timer, and you get to take a breath, and also save your arm muscle from aching from using...

Bobbieann53 says "The GE gas cooktop is a wonderful product." about GE Gas stovetop serial #

Bobbieann53 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:14:00 GMT

Contributed by Bobbieann53

We purchased this product in the spring of 2009. It is a wonderful addition to our kitchen remodel. The control you have over the burners has been matched by none, electric or gas. You can cook with any type of pots and pans including stainless, anodized, teflon coated, or even cast iron and not worry about burning or undercooking your food. Cleanup is so easy as the enamel top on the stovetop can soak with a little water and wipe all the food drippings away in a flash. I am a very messy cook, and all of the parts on the cooktop come off and can go in the sink or dishwasher for easy cleaning, and when you put the stove top back together it looks as good as new again. Each gas burner is equipped with an enamel surface to hold your cooking pots and pans, and the enamel top makes it so easy to clean up. The heat is evenly distributed to the bottoms of your cookware, and you do not have to "attend" constantly your meal, leaving time to prepare the...

hlpump says "Best coffee maker ever!" about Hamilton Beach Brewstation 10-cup Coffee Maker

hlpump — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:05:09 GMT

My wife and I have been married for over 20 years now and have gone through numerous coffee makers. All of them, except for our last purchase, were the carafe type. And I think we all know how easily those carafes can be broken. One of our previous models even broke in the dishwasher. Then we would have to go and look for a replacement carafe that may or may not be available. Maybe the model was discontinued; maybe the stores were out of stock; either way, we were out of luck. Well, we solved that issue by buying the Hamilton Beach Brew Station and have never been happier with our choice. In fact, we now have one each for coffee and tea. We really like the convenience of the device. The dispenser is far enough from the counter top that we can use any cup we like and best of all, no more carafes to break and replace. I would highly recommend this appliance for any household.

KwJones says "Do not buy this it has a major defect" about Fisher and Paykel Two drawer dishwasher

KwJones — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:48:07 GMT

I have the two drawer F&P. The drawers would not open. You have to disconnect the power, to reset the machine.

The drawers leak. I have been waiting 3 months for this to be repaired. Everytime I call, I am told that they are waiting for the parts from F&P.

This is a very expensive lesson to learn. My single door Kitchenaod was working after 12 yeare when I changed, just because my wife wanted this new F&P dishwasher.

Notice the beach towel in front, to prevent my wood floors from being damaged

debishults says "Black and Decker Coffee Pot thumbs down" about Black & Decker 12 cup with insulated caraffe

debishults — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:38:39 GMT

We purchased the Black and Decker 12 cup coffee maker with the insulated caraffe last year before Christmas. When we originally made the purchase we were really excited with all the features and we didnt mind spending the money because we felt the product would be of good quality. The coffee pot we chose had the timer, cleaning option with a reminder, filter inside maker with many other features. We had the coffee maker less than 1 year and the selection buttons went out. I went through the manual reading looking to see if we can diagnose the problem based off the manual with no luck. As we all know many items like these after the initial store return date you will have to sen the item back to the manufacturer for them to look at and mae a decision if it can be repaired or if they will send you a new one. I am sur most of you are like me and can not live without the item and go out and purchase another one.

ktbloom says "The turntable helps heating the food evenly." about G E Turntable Microwave Oven

ktbloom — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:32:50 GMT

I only buy GE appliances, they are always dependable. This microwave was a replacement of my previous microwave oven. The glass turntable broke and it was cheaper to buy a new microwave oven then a whole new dish. I do recommend this product to anyone who has to reheat food. Its small in side, so i haven't used it for cooking. We reheat dinner plates, coffee, and sometimes a fast snack. I also love the defrost function on this oven, it really helps if i forgot to take something out at the last minute. There is also a popcorn feature on this model, very helpful in my household. My nine year old uses it with supervision, but its that easy for her to operate. There is also a safety lock on it for when you do not want a child to have access to it. That was my main concern for buying this model. ...

seemakaur says "Great helper" about Bosch Dishwasher - Evolution 500 Stainless Steel

seemakaur — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:27:32 GMT

This particular dishwasher is one of the best diswashers ever invented. We dont even realise when its swtiched on, makes very little noise. Does a very good jo of cleaning, even if there are a lot of greasy vessels and utensils. Would definitely recommend this to all my friends. Has not given me any problem for the past so may years now. Earlier had another model which started giving me problems after 2 years itself. But this one has lasted me over 4 years now,. Also safe with the kids around, since it has a good locking mechanism. I liekthe cool look of it too, as compared to the other older ones. Goes well with my interiors in the kitchen. All in all a superb product. A msut have that all shoudl have at their homes. OUt of all the Bosch products I would prefer this particular model due to all the advantages it has. I also looked up other models which were not made of stainless steel, but this clearly stands out!

Gypsy65 says "The Hamilton Beach Brew Station is the best coffee maker EVER!!!" about Hamilton Beach Brew Station Plus

Gypsy65 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:34:02 GMT

I bought my Hamilton Beach Brew Station last fall and I have to say that I would never even dream of using any other coffee maker. The Brew Station is top of the line in my opinion. Making coffee is a breeze with this amazing coffee maker.

There is no carfare to worry about breaking, cracking, chipping or burning up. "Pouring" your favorite cup of joe is easier than it ever has been. No drips, runs or errors!!! Just push your cup against the lever and fill!!! The coffee that comes out of it is perfect everytime and is much hotter than that of coffee pots with glass carafes.

Making coffee is as easy as pie!!! The coffee basket lifts out for easy cleaning and filling and it even accommodates the "reusable" filter basket. Take the unit out that holds the brewed coffee, fill it with water, add the water to the tank, put it all back together and press start.

It also has a convenient timer that you can set so that your coffee is there to greet you in the early morning hours. ...

sharonL68 says "I love it" about Emerson Portable Ice Maker

sharonL68 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:55:16 GMT

We bought this when a friend of my husband suggested it on one of our camping trips together last year. We have had it since march 2009.We bought it for our camper but it is used 2 or 3 times a week and is kept in the kitchen.

It is small so it does not take up to much room.It fits nice in the camper and only takes 7 minutes to produce first tray of ice.I take it to all of my family parties and get togethers. It also makes three different sizes of ice.

The only downside to the machine is that you can not leave the ice in the machine for a long period of time.It is not a freezer and the ice will melt if left in the machine.I usually move to freezer every few trays full.

We have recommend this to several friends and family.It is will worth the money and is priced reasonably.

my mother and father-in-law have many parties and family get togethers so we are buying them one for christmas

mmurray says "Increase the brewing tempature on you Delonghi coffee maker." about DeLonghi DCF212T 12-Cup Coffee Maker

mmurray — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:39:38 GMT

The front access is wonderful. That's where the compliments stop. The coffee brew a little above luke warm. The clock setting feature is bothersome because you can only go forward. If you miss your mark, you have to go all the way around again (that goes for auto brew setting also). The coffee pot itself doesn't seat very well in the hot plate. The hot plate doesn't heat the coffee. Frustrating little handles on the permanant filter baskets. That's it. Trust me, I'm not a hard man to please. If it frustrated even me, be weary.

GeraldGGG says "This Emerson microwave oven has a power failure. " about Emerson MWG9111SL

GeraldGGG — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:20:45 GMT

This microwave over always has a power failure after 13 min of continues use. You have to wait until it cools off to use it again. With two teenagers it can be a nightmare. We received it as a gift so we can't take it back, buyers beware. When using it, everything seem to be working ok, it cooks and grill with no problems, and it's compact. Good luck trying to reset the time on it, you have to be lucky because the instructions are so hard to understand. You can't just punch in the time, you have to try to encrease the time bu hours, minutes and seconds. This microwave oven has lots of extra, like keys for popcorn, potato, timed cooking and timed defrost ( BOTH BY MINS AND WEIGHT ). The beverage pad is ideal for small cups. One of the best features is the thirty second pad, you can use it for up to two and half minutes, which is great for small items. Overall not a bad microwave oven if not for the power failure, good luck.

stefany200927 says "I like the toasters in general." about General Electric 50-60CPS Bridge Port Conn

stefany200927 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:32:21 GMT

I like the toasters because you don't burn your fingers or hands putting the bread in them or taking the bread out like you do in an regular old oven. I also like them because they won't burn on you. They aren't to light or to dark. You can set it on whatever you want. How dark you want it or how light you want your toast, walk off and leave it and when it is done it pops out. I like this kind in general the General Electric Brand because it gets a lot hotter than other brands and is a lot faster. And has a setting that is lighter and a setting that is darker than the other toasters have. It is pretty loud. I hear it in another room when the toast is done. That's all that I ever fix in mine is toast. I don't fix anything else. It isn't very much more expensive than the other brands. It actually runs about the same price. So you aren't spending a whole lot more money just for the brand name of the toaster. It is a lot quicker than a oven. You don't have to let it preheat or anything just...

janrus says "I love it. I hope it never quits!" about Capresso model #454

janrus — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:51:26 GMT

DON'T TALK TO ME UNTIL I'VE HAD MY COFFE, PLEASE!

I first saw this coffee/grinder machine at a friends house and I had never seen the brand before. I was so impressed with the ease of having coffee beans stored in the machine and just pour in the water and it was brewing. The idea of programming the time to wake up to smell the fresh ground coffee ready to drink is a working woman's dream.

All the parts are removable so that they can be thoroughly cleaned and the filter is very well situated to allow for replacing. There is a light indicator that tells you just when the charcoal filter needs replacing. Even though I haven't always changed it as soon as the light indicates, the coffee is still wonderful. It is probably the best coffee I have had from a home coffee maker.

I find that I spend less money for coffee because I use beans and can define the size of the "grind". There are adjustments for the number of cups to brew, the size of "grind", 3 options...

jsandburg says "My GE Coffeemaker does what I want it to, inexpensively." about GE Cheap

jsandburg — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:08:08 GMT

This GE Coffeemaker that I purchased for $20 at Walmart has all the features of the more expensive coffeemaker I had to replace on short notice. It makes a great cup of coffee, keeps it at the temperature I like (adjustable), shuts itself off, doesn't leak onto the hot plate if I grab a cup halfway through the brewing cycle. It's easy to load and takes 6 minutes to brew 12 cups. Like the more expensive one I had, the clock gains time everytime I brew a pot, about a half-minute a pot. I have other clocks.

wyattfree007 says "My Jenn-Air Dishwasher cleans great and is effecient for two!" about Jenn-Air JDB4000AWS

wyattfree007 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:40:14 GMT

I am a neat freak grandmother who has a Jenn-Air Dishwasher Model No. JDB4000AWS. I am always concerned about cleanliness and sterilization and this model had three spray arms so the dishes get sprayed from the top and the bottom with a sanitize button as well. I try to save time anywhere I can, which is why I like the Dry-Heat and the Rinse Aid features, because there is very little hand drying involved. I can use the Super Scrub wash feature on those meals I prepare that are sticky or greasy or the China/Crystal wash feature after those special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas. The Utensil Basket and Auxiliary Basket (used for loading miscellaneous items such as apple corer, sharp knives, or long handled utensils) are removable for easy unloading or leaves more room for loading large pots or casserole dishes. I have Stack-Racks on the upper and lower rack. They fold up or down. The upper Stack-Racks can be used for stemware, small glasses, cups, long handled utensils or...

savnzplan says " The Kitchenaid Stand Mixer was on my wish list for years. " about KitchenAid Stand Mixer - Classic

savnzplan — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:23:56 GMT

The kitchenAid Stand mixer was on my Christmas wish list for years but I kept telling everyone, not to spend so much while hoping they would. When I first tried it out I was so thrilled about all that it would do. I made better cookies than ever and my favorite gingerbread houses were a snap with this sturdy helper. I loved using all the attachments and even bought additional pieces. I used this mixer for five years while I catered all my freinds parties, birthday and wedding cakes were so easy, making perfect bread was so much fun I even tried ingredients I had never used before. I became so at ease with this mixer I persuaded a local bakery to part with their famous recipe for Hummingbird Cake with all the fruits and nuts that my old hand mixers would not manage. I think the quality of this mixer is so superior to the old ones had made do with for years that I became a better cook and since I have small one woman catering business being a better cook was an asset. I would hihgly recommend......
