claudia21 says "Very sleek design and tons of features" about Electrolux EW30EF65GS

claudia21 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:21:11 GMT

We went into Lowes to look for a stove and as soon as we did see the Electrolux, I knew that this is what I want. The very sleek design and the touch wave pannel makes it stand out from the crowd. It looks like a proffesional cook stove, but with a decent price. It has 2 ovens and tons of features for each one - bake from up, from down, convection, roast, keep warm, broil. It has 2 timers and also alows you to tell it when to stop or for how long to cook a meal and then turn itself down.

I'm using it a lot and the only inconvenience is that it get's dirty and it is hard to clean it without scratching it.

claudia21 says "Do not set your expectations too high!" about The View - New York, NY

I have invited my parents to this restaurant for their aniversary. They are visiting from Romania, so I thought that this would be a realy nice aniversary gift from them.

The restaurant is really nice, spectacular entry (get the interior court all glass elevator to floor 44 - I think) the view of Manhattan is amaizing. It takes more than 1 hour to revolve 360 so you will have to take your time and not rush.

The only downside of the experience was the price and food. We got the 3 course pre-fixe menu for $75 but the food was not impressive. This does not include any drinks or desert or any side dishes for main course so the bill for 4 persons got easily to $400 without any wine and only 2 deserts.

So, if you have the money to splurge, it might worth it, but I think it is much cheeper to go on top or Rokefeller or Empire State building and have dinner somewere else.

claudia21 says "Not fair for existing customers" about Netflix

We have been with nexflix for a while, but the most recent movies, even we have them in the queue for quite some time, it still says long wait.

We got a bunch of free trial coupons from them so we decided to open a new account using those coupons and guess what? We got the most recent movies right away, without having to wait, so while you are doing the trial version, the algoritm for precedence in getting movies is obviously different than the one for existing customers.

I guess we can call it false advertisement - we had the same moveies requested few months before - never get them and with trial version we got them before they were even on the market.

Disspointing!

Otherwise great service!

claudia21 says "I love my Electrolux 30" Gas Freestanding Range with Wave-Touch " about Electrolux 30" Gas Freestanding Range with Wave-Touch Controls (EW30EF65GS)

I love this range - Electrolux 30" Gas Freestanding Range with Wave-Touch Controls . It is a little pricey but it worth every penny. I love to cook and even I have it for few months did not get the chance to use all the functions - it has bake, broil, convection, turkey mode, bake from top, from bottom, keep warm, etc. It lloks really nice and The wave touch controls are awesome and so intuitive - you don't need to read the manual if you don't want to.

It is also very practical because it has 2 ovens ( I always wanted 2 but did not have room to get 2). You can make cookies in one and roast something in the other one.

claudia21 says "My baby loves it!" about Britax Boulevard

claudia21 — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:00:32 GMT

Britax Boulevard Car Set is very nice. Our son enjoyed it from the first day we moved him from the travel system. He was not very keen on the travel system, so we switch him very early, about 3 months old, into Britax and he stoppped being kranky in the car. Then when he was 1 and we switch him to forward facing, he was happy again. He seems to be confortable in it, fell asleep easy in it, and from the safety ratings I see it is very good.

The only thing that I wish it had is the recliner. If the baby fells asleep, you cannot recline it so sometimes his head will fall forward.

claudia21 says "It's OK, but not impressive" about Cuisinart Food Processor and Blender - Blend Central BC-6SA

claudia21 — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:10:02 GMT

Cuisinart Food Processor and Blender tt's OK, but I was not very impressed with it.

Blender does not work on small quantities (specially baby food) and chopper is dicing vegetables too finely. Trying to chop onion finely will get you a paste.

There are only 2 speeds - low and hight - so you can not customize your work.

Blender works pretty good with bigger quantities, so no complains there and shredder works fine.

I do not hate the product but I don't use it as much as I would like to, because some of the features are not working as I expected.
