NewAir AH-410 700 Watt Oil Filled Radiator Heater - Low Watt Comfort

Great little Space Heater
This little heater works quite well. The snap on feet made it very easy to install no tools required. The adjustable thermostatic also works well (unlike some others I have tried). It is a simple dial control which made it perfect for my older people. I haven't yet fully tested the high heat setting, but on the low setting, it kept my 10 x 14 foot room quite comfortable. Best part of the heater is that It makes no noise that I have been able to tell, except a very slight click when the heater turns on at the thermostat setting.

broke after two months
I had previously given this heater a great review. however, it worked great for two months, then the on/off switch broke. woke up in the middle of the night, freezing. even when I managed to turn it on, it would switch off.

I had bought the heater directly from the company website. the company refused to pay for shipping me a replacement. then they wanted me to pay the shipping back to them if they gave me a refund. after a few phone calls and the supervisor not bothering to give me a requested call back, I got them to send me a label for sending the unit back. and they gave me a refund.

so, the heater gets one star and the company gets one star. its unfortunate, but, they didn't care that the unit broke after only two months. so, will never use the company again.

Returned it...
The heater is simple and easy to use. But I had to return it because of the smell it makes in just about 5 minutes of turning it on. I had it running for about an hour and the smell gets worse. So I've decided to quickly pack it up again and return.

AirVac Deluxe Garage/Car Tool Kit LNVMGAR

Great quality product
This garage vacuum kit works wonerfully. The hose is much better than I thought it would be and doesn't kink. The telescoping wand is very handy for either high places or close up places. It has all the attachments that you need to do any task in the basement or the garage. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

Great addiction to my whole house vacuum
Our whole house vac is located in the garage. I am able to use the unit for my car and decided instead of taking my house attachments outside for the car, I would get an extra set. These attachments work well and the multiple tools are great for various needs. I particularly like the brush tool for the vents in the car. The only tool that was so-so was the skinny one to go in the crevices - it has wholes in the side and I feel that creates less suction and I can't get up little things that I thought would pop right into the hose. Other than that, this is a very good product

Cost effective!
While this says it's for the garage/car, it's quality for the home, too. Tough hose, and attachments work great on my tile floor. Hose works with my beater brush head, too. Came quickly and no issues. Fits my outlets perfectly. Love the telescoping wand, too. So happy!

KitchenAid 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

Fails to meet KitchenAid or my expectations
I originally ordered this coffee maker from another retailer in August. Waited and waited. Finally cancelled when Amazon had it available. First pot of coffee was made without pressing bold button. Coffee was weak and temperature was cooler than I expected. By second cup, I would describe the temperature as warm but certainly not hot. Also, I typically make 4 cups of coffee for myself. This coffee maker has a button labeled 1-4 cups which you are supposed to press to make less than 4 cups. I thought perhaps it would raise the water temperature for smaller quantities. It doesn't appear to do anything. I contacted KitchenAid who stated that the brew water temperature should be 200 degrees and that the bold button only changes the way hot water is delivered (small spurts, longer wait time). They also stated that the 1-4 cup button would allow you to make a maximum of 4 cups of coffee even if the reservoir is full. I used a very accurate electronic thermometer to measure the...

Is this why they call it DRIP coffee?
My husband bought this coffee maker because it was KitchenAid. If KitchenAid wants to keep their good name they need to take this machine off the market. The coffee that actually makes it INTO your cup and not dripped all over the counter is not even hot. We have to put our JUST BREWED cup of coffee directly from the drippy carafe into the microwave to get it hot! And like others have said you have to turn the carafe practically upside down to get the last half of the pot of coffee out. And we're not sure what they are calling a "cup." We don't seem to get as many "cups of coffee" as it says it's making. Truly disappointing product for the high price.

The Greeks did it better
I had a beloved 12 year-old thermal carafe coffee maker which broke, and I couldn't wait to try out the new models, which might make better tasting coffee. KitchenAid has such an excellent reputation that this item seemed to be perfect. Unfortunately, newer does not mean better. While the machine makes reasonably tasty coffee,the spout on the carafe causes about one fifth of the coffee to spill all over the counter. I have tried pouring at every speed and angle, and it still makes a mess. The spout is squarish and flat, requiring an extremely slow pour, while the lid above the spout interferes with the pour. Additionally, the shape of the inner carafe makes it necessary to hold the pot at greater than 90 degrees in order to get the last cup of liquid out. Bottom line is that the "ten cup" pot ends up serving less than eight. Those eight aren't even very hot. This has a metal carafe which is not as heat retaining as the old glass types. All of this is puzzling to me, as...

Savoy House 52-ECM-5RV-SN 52-Inch First Value Ceiling Fan, Satin Nickel Finish with Reversible Rosewood/Maple Blades and White Marble Bowl Light Kit

Great product.
I knew what I was looking for but I didn't want to pay over 200 bucks for a basic fan. I wanted something clean, modern and inexpensive. It looks just like the picture. It is a great quality product for a reasonable price. Note: The blades for the fan had one white side and one "weathered side." The white side is great. The "weathered" side looks like watered down paint - it's not a great "weathered" look if that's what you are looking for. I wasn't really concerned because I am using the white side - but I just thought I'd note it for others.

Its Beautiful adds class and charm
It's a beautiful fan and light it was a bit heavier than I expected but was still a room charmer and added class to my bedroom. Absolutely love it keeps the air circulated and helps even out the room temperature, saving on the gas bill and electric bill got to love that.But it does have to be put on a electrical box from the ceiling that can support 50lbs.so something to thank about if you live in a house like mine that was built cheap LOL but no problem putting in a box that could support the weight. Well worth it!!

GE Stove Burner Surface Element WB30X348

as advertised
Product shipped and received on time. Packaged very good. All parts, including screws,insulators, and connectors were included. Burners fit as advertised. This was a great way to get the right parts for my stove.

GE Stove Burner Surface Element WB30X348
Made in China but it does the job. When you install it, lift the hook all the way up otherwise it will not sit properly. Use one hand to push it up, while the other hand screw it in. It's a little inconvenience, but you can do it. So far, it is working really well for me. This ones cost $20 compare to the GE cost $70. It's worth it. Definitely would recommend it.

A perfect replacement
This element was a perfect it for my electric stovetop. They are priced 75% less than the GE site was selling them for.

GE WE16M15 Blower Wheel for Dryer

It's a replacement fan alright.
I replaced the fan but what? the fan slides ever so slightly off the end of the shaft? You really need to crank the screw down tightly without breaking the plastic to secure it to the dryer motor. That's a really cheap, not great method to attach a fan I have to say. After hearing the rubbing going on I discovered the fan had slid to the end of the shaft and was eating the teeth away on the sheet metal. Nice. After putting it back on, the fan and motor are purring quieter than ever.

By the way, the original fan had warped beyond reasonable planarity which is why I replaced it. The only reason I can think this might happen would be due to excessive heat on the fan. Terrible design really.

make sure you need this product before ordering
Hi
After watching the Blower Wheel replacement video (part#WE16M17) from repairclinic dot com on youtube, went ahead and check my product on GE dot com for the correct replacement piece, then ordered WE16M15. There is tension clip that needs to be adjusted to fasten the wheel to the motor shaft. This task can be accomplished without removing the motor. You may not need to replace the blower wheel you have, rather tighten the tension to secure the wheel. If you do not clean the lint from this wheel every 5 to 10 years depending on use, the lint will jam the wheel and cause the devise to loosen from the motor shaft. Regretfully I order the part before disassembling the motor from the base. ( I am not the first to order this wheel from Amazon when they did not need it, since the product arrived in an open box). Wanted to post this review to prevent Amazon customers from ordering this product when they don't need it. Hope this is helpful!
Thanks

Frigidaire Gallery? Portable Induction Burner

works pretty good,looks great
I bought this particular brand because the manufacturer claims the six temperature settings hold steady. I wanted to use the lowest setting (140 Farenheit) for cooking sous vide, but the temperature doesn't hold steady in the way I'd hoped, even when the setting is locked. Instead it's like any other electric burner where sous vide cooking means adding ice cubes. I've heard it said induction burners are as precise and consistent as gas, and if I am comparing this burner to the circa 1996 Whirlpool gas range that came with my house, that is true. In comparison to my 2009 Kenmore Elite gas range, however, it is not. The precision and consistency of this induction cooktop is not nearly as fine tuned as the burners on a mid-range or higher gas burner. Once I get the temperature of the water to hold at 140 on my gas range's simmer burner, it will stay within 3 degrees Farenheit of that temp for hours, whereas the induction burner's heat continues to increase well past the stated 140 F...

Good, but in need of bit better craftmenship
Does excellent job, but some trim is becoming unglued. Not good, I guess that shouldn't have happened.
Otherwise satisfied.

Wonderful Value for the price
Fantastic value. It boiled 3 pints of water in a large saucepan in 7 minutes, compared with 15 minutes on my ceramic electric range, using the same power (1200W). I'll be going all-induction as soon as I can afford to toss my ceramic range. Two complaints- 6 heat settings are not quite enough, maybe 8 or 10 would be better, also the fan is a bit noisy.

Tiger Rice Dispenser 50LBS -White Color

Great product and Customer Service
Takes exact measurements of how much rice I need for a meal. No more 50lb bag of rice that looks like dog food bag. Looks nice in the kitchen. they also gave me a rice scoop. Cool! But a little pricey, But I got what I paid for, which is great quality.

What a product!
We came from using a cheaply-built 25lb rice dispenser with three buttons that didn't feel smooth at all. Using this product next to the old one makes the old one look and feel like a complete piece of garbage. You will appreciate how amazing the quality is on this rice dispenser. It's pricy, but you get what you pay for.

Nice product
It's a good looking rice dispenser and does it's job. Was surprised that the whole body of the dispenser is metal (sort of like the metal that you see in locker rooms but thinner). The buttons are really easy to push down at a 45 degree angle. There is a switch beneath the buttons to lock/unlock those buttons. I believe the dispenser is less than 10 pounds and feel lightweight. The rice collector at the bottom of the dispenser is made out of some type of hard plastic/rubber material. I would recommend it.

Honeywell 24000 Replacement HEPA Filter

Not Genuine Honeywell?
I saw the description of this item says "24000 HEPA Filter Media by Honeywell" but closer reading of the description implies this is a third party replacement for Honeywell 24000. Is is really "by Honeywell" as the product title says?

Best Deal
Durable, efficient and long lasting. I wrap with carbon prefilter that is washable and long lasting. Every 3 months blow out the filter with 60 psi air from inside first then outside and it will last a couple of years in an average home environment.

Didn't work out for us
This product appeared to make my husband's asthma flare up. We ended up ordering the smaller ones that have to be stacked from Honeywell instead.

Black & Decker TR6341S 4-Slice Toaster, Silver

Decent toast but machine is so-so
This toaster is easy to use and makes a decent slice of toast, and I trust the Black & Decker brand for good customer service, but there are definite pros and cons to consider before buying it (about $34.99 on Amazon as of 6/25/13). They are:
- the removable crumb tray is tiny and shallow. Never mind cleaning it out once a week or whenever, you'll need to clean it daily, even if you don't wash it. And the unit gets hot, so you can't make your toast, slip out the tray, whisk off the crumbs and pop it back in. You have to wait for it to cool...by which time, you've eaten your toast and gone off to do something else.
- the retractable cord is a good touch, but it doesn't retract easily. You have to play with it. Once again, since the unit gets hot, you don't want to retract the cord into a hot machine so you have to wait until it cools down, by which time...yes, you've moved along. Black & Decker insists that you unplug the unit when not in use. In practice, that cord is never...

Attractive, but Not Long-Lasting: Updated 10/27/13
UPDATE 10/27/13:

After only a few months, our toaster no longer works. It sat on my kitchen counter and was only used for an occasional light toasting. Unfortunately, it stopped working without any warning. I placed bread into the toaster, and pushed the lever that refused to go all the way down and "lock" the toast in place. The problem is not with the outlet (I tried other appliances and moved to different outlets), but with the toaster itself.

Though I appreciated the features that I outlined below, I was struck by how lightweight this toaster felt. It doesn't scream "long lasting" at all. Though I was initially impressed by the performance and affordability of this stainless steel-looking toaster, my first concern about the durability proved to be right, after all.

Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker, Fully Automatic with Double Insulated Freezer Bowl and 3 Built-In Condiment Holders, Includes Built-In Cone Holder

Great Product
I am very happy with the Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker. It's a well designed quality product that makes delicious soft serve ice cream, yogurt, sorbet, and sherbet. All of the positive product reviews were accurate and I assume that the people who wrote the negative reviews did not follow the product directions (e.g. the Insulated Freezer Bowl must be kept in the freezer overnight so it is cold enough to freeze the contents). It makes up to a quart and a half of ice cream (the today's standard store bought container size) so if you're having a lot of company over for dessert be sure to purchase an extra insulated freezer bowl so everyone can have some ice cream.

This is AWESOME
I am glad I ignored the other customer review. This product arrived on Monday (today is Friday) and we have made ice cream twice already. It is SO easy and VERY fast AND it makes the best soft serve you have ever tasted! The leftovers placed in the freezer did not "ice up" or get hard. It was harder, but not hard...still perfect. The mix in part shoots the condiment out but does not really mix it in, more of a layering...but who cares! It is amazing! My family loves soft serve ice cream, but buying it out I always wonder what chemicals are in the mix. Not so anymore! I know exactly what goes in. 20 minutes later, yummy comes out!

Soft Ice Cream Maker
Easy to use and clean and it makes soft ice cream in about 15 minutes. I would recommend this product to others and it could be fun for the kids with storage for add ins, like morsels, jimmies or other small candies.

Deco Breeze Weather Resistant Outdoor Fan, Ebony, Adjustable 38-50 Inches Tall with 18-Inch Fan Head

FAN-tastic!!
I hesitated to pay such a high price for an outdoor fan, but after days of teetering back and forth, I decided to bite the bullet. I am so glad I did! Not only is it a gorgeous piece to add to an outdoor space, it is extremely powerful. You feel the effects of it at least 17 feet away and the oscillating head is thorough at covering large gathering areas. The mechanics of the fan are smooth and relatively quiet. The frame and hardware are sturdy and solid. I assembled this in 15 minutes with no problems. You definitely get what you pay for. I highly recommend to those who appreciate and take advantage of outdoor living in the warmer months.

It's O.K
I bought this because I wanted to keep from being eaten alive by the gnats in my yard! Reviews looked good and the fan was very attractive looking to fit in with my yard furniture. I have owned it for a few weeks now and have found it to be fairly loud and not blowing too far, I guess I need 2 fans to put at both ends of the patio. The price is a bit high. They are not built as I thought it should be for $250.00. Not enough power, a bit loud and although fairly easy to put together the instructions are not great and some of the screws didnt match. So I will not buy another one.

Excellent outdoor fan
We ordered this fan about a month ago, and so far so good. The fan was very easy to put together--it took about 5 minutes and we had no problems with the screws. The fan looks and feels sturdy, and it generates an impressive breeze for its size. It has gone a long way toward making our deck bearable in the Texas summer heat. It also helps with mosquito control, though it can't keep them away from your feet!

I am surprised by the other review posted here--I wonder if the reviewer just got a lemon. I'm also very curious that he says he got a similar Deco Breeze fan at Lowes for 1/2 the price. We comparison-shopped extensively before purchasing this fan, and we saw nothing that was a better value. Also, the Lowes web site does not carry any Deco Breeze products as far as I can tell.

That said, I did take one star off for value. It's a lot of money to spend on a fan, even a good fan.

We have been using this machine on a near daily (or multiple times daily) basis for almost 2 months now. It pulls great espresso and foams great milk. Gets ready quickly too.

Lasko Max Performance Pivoting Utility Fan - Model U15700

BEST fan EVER
I already had one of these fans at home and loved it. So when I needed one for my home away from home it was my first choice. This fan can lift the blankets right off the bed so much that my wife thought I was in the bed, when I was actually in the shower. I have seen this fan knock a pile of my daughter's clothes right off the bed. The power cord is heavy duty, and the extra two outlets on the side come in real handy. I highly recommend it.

Experience the Laminar Air Flow!
Most standard indoor fans create a very choppy air flow that buffets you. I had never noticed it before. I knew fans were noisy but I didn't know that there was an alternative. I have two Lasko utility fans -- this one and a smaller cousin -- both of which run nearly 24x7 in my place to keep the air flowing and the HVAC efficient.

They are not silent. You will notice that they're on for certain. But I live in an apartment that is a thermodynamic miracle. When it's cold outside, it's 10-15 degrees colder inside. When it's hot outside, it's 15-20 degrees hotter! How is that even possible? Dunno. Portal to Hell? Maybe.

But the Laskos have defeated the problem. Even on the hottest days here in Los Angeles, sitting in the powerful, laminar flow of these beauties makes it livable. Yeah, it's still 90F+ inside but at least I'm in a convection oven!

The side power outlets are fantastic. I point mine straight up so that it mimics that "ceiling...

Will blow your socks off!
Bought 2 of these. Kinda loud BUT the amount of air it moves is most impressive. I'M using them in my shop, on the back patio to keep the dogs kool & at the lake when we go RVing. Twice the size of the puny yellow lasko 4900ish models sold here. Pisssssh!....Sam's has these for $64.00 dollars!!! If LARGE forceful volumes of air is what your needing to move, then the blower is for U.

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream/Sorbet Maker

Easiest Ice Cream Maker
I just purchased this exact Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and used it for the first time tonight. This product worked for me on the first try. I mixed whole milk, heavy whipping cream, sugar and real vanilla extract for a few minutes, took the ice cream bowl out of the freezer, assembled the 3 parts to the ice cream maker, turned it on and poured the mixture into the top of the lid. 25 minutes later I had a rich, flavorful soft serve ice cream. I put it in another bowl to store in the freezer. Wow is all I can say after using another ice cream maker I had years ago which used a layering of salt, ice and water if I remember correctly. At the time I thought that ice cream maker was great in spite of it being a chore to use. Thank goodness for this Cuisinart product.

Best little ice cream maker.
I have had this 1-1/2 qt. ice cream maker for a couple years. I make ice cream a couple times a week during the hot months. So easy to use and not too bad cleanup, either (paddles are a bit of a pain, but the rest is a breeze). You can't go wrong with this one.

I am dairy intolerant so I make up a coconut milk ice cream mixture, and it works very well in the ice cream maker. I now want more quantity and am going to get another bowl so I can do two batches at the same time without having to wait to refreeze the bowl.

am pleased with the product and use it as needed
can't compare as it is the only one I have had
I have no problems with it and am glad I got it

Speedi-Grille TB-3HC 06 24-Inch x 24-Inch White Drop Ceiling T-Bar 3 Cone...
Works perfect, exactly as you would expect. The only ding I would give this product is that it is supposed to be designed to work with the Speedi-Grille AC-BTD 06 06-Inch Round Bow Tie Radial Volume Damper as a supposed 'field installable' accessory. Only thing wrong with that statement is you have to drill about a 1/4" or larger hole for the damper's rather flimsy plastic 'twist-it' on/off control. I have seen other drop-in drop ceiling type grills that have a hole already in place with just a little plastic or rubber plug popped in place which would be more more along the line of 'field installable'. I actually had to have the grill apart on a pair of saw horses and make several drillings with bigger and bigger bits until I got the hole big enough. Also, although the grill has slots for the damper to slide into, you have to drill/rivet or drill/screw the thing in place, which again is much easier done without the grill installed in the ceiling, which to my mind doesn't...

Said to destroy 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and germs with the wave of this wand, using no chemicals and pollutants. I just held the UV-C wand at about 1 inch over surface for less than a minute, moving it back and forth. It can be used with the cord plugged in directly to unit or cordless if you have already charged it. The charge holds great now, one should charge for several hours the first time before using as cordless. I had to replace the batteries it came with but the new ones are great, and I can use for the entire house. The cord is a good length, the wand is easy to hold. The light bulb length is perfect, not too long or cumbersome, but not so short that you spend forever sanitizing your kitchen, bathroom, or on the sofas and beds.

This is a probably an nice grille. The only issues is the case it goes on already comes with a grille. Thats crazy enough but, it gets more interesnting. The unit that goes in the case also has a grille included which is required to replace the grille that is provided with the case. Bottom line is I returned the grille and got a partial credit. Not sure what this grille is for unless you just like it better than the other two you will automatically have.

Black & Decker CTO6301 Digital Advantage Stainless-Steel 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven

One Black & Decker oven worth considering--here's why
After my horrible experiences with the Black & Decker TRO700S 4-Slice Toast-R-Oven, Stainless Steel, I swore I wouldn't buy another Black & Decker toaster oven. But when I was checking out several toaster ovens at Bed Bath & Beyond, low and behold there was this particular model available. Compared to the other models around, this one had the best combination of features and size for the price. The Krups convection oven felt cheaply made, unwarranted for the price. The other oven I considered, a Kitchen Aid convection oven, was very well made and looked great, except it did not have a convection feature and the elements were poorly exposed. I wanted to check out the Sanyo SK-VF7S Digital Convection Oven, Stainless Steel Finish that has been getting great reviews, but unfortunately this store didn't carry it. So, I decided to take a...

Great features for the price
I recently purchased this oven and so far, I am quite pleased with it. For the price, it has many more features than ovens that are substantially more expensive.

The oven feels solid and well built and looks very nice, the brushed stainless steel and black trim are quite sharp and it blends in easily with most modern kitchen appliances. There is no internal oven light but the elements glow enough for you to view the food through the clear glass front making it easy to check on the progress without opening the oven door.

It is a bit larger than a standard toaster oven but can fit substantially larger items inside, including a 12 inch pizza. You should check the dimensions of the appliance before purchasing to make sure it fits your needs and your counters for that matter.

The controls are mostly intuitive but you may have to fiddle around with it a few times before you get the hang of it. There are quite a few different options but they are self...

good buy
Replaces a similar four year old Black & Decker: Just fits Calphalon 9x13 cake pan - straight up sides, no lip or hand grip! The interior is deeper by 1+ inch and slightly taller (~6in.to element) than old - I think it's great. It's 1500 watts (1200 watt, not enough for me) with digital heat setting and timer; my first test 430 deg. 60 min. If using bake settings, adjust time & temp, then turn on convection. The heating elements are quick and responsive; 2 top and 2 bottom can run simultaneously (bake) and with convection, this thing cooks! Typical meals; pizza, chicken (10 lb, 1-cut @ backbone-lay flat in pan), fish etc., never tried toast. Why not 5 stars? Digital controls require coordination and decent eyesight (also must read instructions) - so not for very young or old. Also requires experimentation to get right i.e timer only begins when initial temperature setting achieved. Surfaces hot: front door is one layer glass (hot!).

12-Cup Home/Office Automatic Brewer

Cheapest automatic 12-cup coffee maker with 3-prong plug
My coffee pot at work died and had to get a new one. However, I can only bring in coffee makers with 3-prong plugs, a.k.a. commercial. I also wanted the timer so it is ready in the morning and it had to be a 12-cup since I share the pot with one other person at work. This was $20 more before Christmas and first week of Jan went down $20 to $54 which is the cheapest cost for a commercial automatic (timer) 12-cup coffee pot that I could find.

It is very easy to set the current time or brew time and I love the 2 hour timer that turns off after 2 hours so it does not burn it up if you forget to turn it off. Also, this came with a built in removeable mesh filter which can save you money by not buying cone filters. That is usually about $12-15 extra but was included. The water bubble level as you pour in the water is pretty accurate but watch out because the coffee temp is pretty hot. I usually sip my coffee immediately after getting out of a machine but this is much...

Great coffee maker!!!!
If you're looking for a basic coffee maker without most of the frills, this may be the one for you. I needed to replace my old Braun, and wanted a swing out basket with a cone shaped filter receptacle, and this has both of those features. It also has a few features that my old Braun did not, which I really like. The pot is shaped so that the glass protrudes slightly on the bottom, allowing it to "fit" into the base of the coffee maker securely. My old pot was completely flat, as was the heating base, which allowed the pot to slide a bit. Also, the mechanism that comes in contact with the pot which allows you to pour before the brewing stops, is not one of those button types where you need to position the pot perfectly underneath. Instead, it has a small swing "bar" at the back that will activate, no mater what position the pot is sitting at. The pot pours perfectly with no dripping, and the underside of the top of the unit, where the water pours into the basket,...

Replaced Mr Coffee and Keurig at my house
I love this coffee maker. I make just the amount I need. I can set the automatic option and the coffee is ready when I get up and occasionally after work when friends are dropping by. It is easy to clean. The permanent filter saves a lot of time and money. I will buy again when needed.

Cuisinart 12-Cup Extreme Brew Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe

Wonderful coffee.
I am very happy with this Cuisinart Extreme Brew coffee maker. The machine is very solid and substantial. It has adjustments for a strong brew or a more "normal" brew. The carafe is easy to use, fits well in my hand and, most importantly, it pours nicely. No overflow or drips. The machine is also easy to program. I would highly recommend this Cuisinart Extreme Brew coffee maker.

Really a step on from our previous coffee maker!
We absolutely love our new coffee maker...not only does it look beautiful on our kitchen counter, it makes great coffee, too!
The fact that it keeps the brewed coffee hot is definitely a reason to recommend it to anyone.

Great coffee pot
Love this coffee pot, very sleek. Goes well with my stainless appliances. Coffee comes out extremely hot which is a good thing.

Lakewood EP-2000 Ultra-Thin Dual-Power 1000/1500-Watt Flat-Panel Heater with Electrothemic Technology

higher electric bill
This heater works really well for heating our living room. We found out it is running our electric bill up sky high. It was supposed to be "energy efficient" and lower you heating bills. Well, it has done just the opposite for us. I would not recommend this heater if you are worried about your electric bill.

Feeling lucky? (Otherwise, pass on this one)
This heater was great--quiet and quick to heat up, but for no reason that I can tell, it stopped heating (worked fine yesterday, not today--nothing happened to it, it wasn't even moved). It's on, but even at the full-heat setting, it's just warm. (It used to get hot.)

I called the company and found out that Lakewood was bought out by a company that doesn't even know they used to carry this heater. Forget about support--these heaters aren't even listed in their "no longer supported" system files.

They were imported from China for Lakewood. If they are still being made, I wasn't able to find the company that supplies them to the US.

FIRE HAZARD
I purchased this heater on October 21 of 2009. When it worked, it worked great. Heated quickly, quietly and effectively. It was used for most of our winter, NOV, DEC, JAN, and FEB. I started using it again this month, Nov 2010. It quit working, it just wouldn't heat up. I discovered what at first looked like just a malfunctioning tip-over switch since the heater would turn on when tilted to an angle, which would usually result in it turning off. Upon closer inspection I noticed a spot near the bottom of the control side, near a label, that appeared to be melting from behind. I made the decision to dismantle the side of the heater to get a look at the wiring. That's when I discovered that the power cord lead to the tip over sensor had failed causing it to overheat. Due to the close quarters the wire had been pressed against the plastic side and as it over heated it began melting the plastic. There was a black charred indentation where the wire had been pressed against the side. I am...

KRUPS KM4055, 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Black

This will look nice on your counter and make great coffee too
I believe that Krupps Coffeemakers make the best coffee. Mine was over ten year old and needed replacement. I didn't like the all metal look of the Coffeemakers on Amazon and was glad when they came out with this black one. It truly makes good coffee and it looks nice too. My main complaint is the water fill tank in the back is small and hard to hit the right spot without spilling (see photo). This is why I didn't give it five stars. The level indicator is also rather hard to see, and I have to guess as to how full it is. It seems like all Krupps Carafe's dribble a bit, but I am used to that by now. I still really like it, even with it's faults.
UPDATE: After a little more than a year, it died. I purchased Krupps all my life, but no more.

Disappointed- carafe top not removeable
My previous Krups coffee maker was made in Germany and worked perfectly for almost 20 years. It finally died over the Xmas holidays after heavy use- a solenoid apparently fried (I took it apart to see if I could fix it as I hated to part with an original German-quality appliance).

My new Krups works fine (made in China), but after a few uses I wanted to wash the carafe in the dishwasher. Lo and behold the carafe top could not be removed, and the carafe therefore cannot be washed in the dishwasher.

I think most people like to wash their carafes in the dishwasher every week or so to keep them shiny and clean. Not being able to do this is a major negative for this coffeemaker.

Otherwise I have not had any problems with the coffee it makes. But I would not recommend it to anybody who wants to wash the glass carafe in the dishwasher- which I think most people like to do.

Very poorly designed for a Krups...
As you would expect from a Krups coffee maker, yes it does make excellent coffee, but there are a couple of very annoying design flaws. The worst in my opinion is the tiny space you have to hit when you're pouring the water in it. The lid is in the way which compounds the problem. The second concerns the pot itself in 2 areas - the lid is not removable for cleaning and when you are pouring coffee from the pot, the steam comes through a hole between the handle and the lid and is uncomfortably hot on your thumb. The pot also has a tendency to dribble coffee while pouring. Another fault, although a minor one is that the stainless lid you have to close over the basket is very prone to fingerprint smudges. In all I think it is a pretty disappointing coffee maker considering the quality Krups is known for. *** Updated 11/8/2010 *** ...and after only 9 months the piece of junk DIED in mid-pot of making coffee. The heater element croaked I would assume. Krups has a history of making...

Kaz Inc 8' x 8' Room Air Purifier

Great
Bought one of these for my son and he raved about it, so much, that I am now getting one for us. My son says that his room always smells fresh and that the filters are easy to clean. My main reason for getting this one is the permanent filters. The air purifier that we have now has $35 replacement filters. No more of that!

Great, Great, Great....it's all good!
I really recommend this product for any one who likes a silent purifier with a Hepa filter. Made by one of the best purifing companies around. Cleanable Filter, no need to purchase new ones.

Great Product
This is a great product and has helped our allergies quite a bit. I like the fact that I can wash out the filter and do not have to purchase a new one each month.

Back to Basics IC10801 4-Quart Wooden Ice-Cream Maker

quick, easy, and LOUD
After reading numerous negative reviews of the newer style of ice cream makers where you put the bowls in the freezer, but don't use ice and rock salt, I decided to go with this one instead. The use of ice and rock salt is an older technique, but it seems to be more consistent and reliable.

I'm not the sort of person to make ice cream every day, but I've used the ice cream maker a couple of times and the performance has been consistent, even with long periods of time (i.e., months) between use.

The process to use this ice cream maker is somewhat involved, but I suspect that would be the case with any of the wooden-bucket-styled appliances. Since a review is supposed to help customers make purchase decisions, I'll list a few tips and instructions here. You do need to soak the bucket in water prior to use, to swell the boards so there's less leakage. I have done this every time I used it, but that's because I often wait so long between uses that I'm sure it's...

Good to go!
This product worked great, we made strawberry ice-cream the day I received it. The parts were still in plastic the box was a little worn down but the item were well kept. It works great so far with no problems. Awesome buy!

Simply Automated US2-40 Custom Series Universal Dimming Transceiver Base

Buy It. You'll Love It.
I absolutely love the Simply Automated product lineup. You will not find any other product that allows more customization and configuration options. The UPStart software makes it a breeze to set them up. I am slowly replacing every switch in my house with a Simply Automated UPB device. I currently have 27 and I'm about to buy my 28th. It's becoming an addiction. These devices are rock solid. I have never had one fail. I use them in conjunction with my HAI Omni IIe automation system. However, they also work great as a stand-alone system. If you plan to install a bunch of these as I have, I highly recommend some sort of whole-house surge suppressor.

Great price!
I really like integrating these switches with my home automation system. Some sort of controller is necessary to take full advantage of these switches, as well was the PIM or CIM. I have a little more than 20 UPB devices (the price adds up!) around the house and I've been pretty satisfied. Make sure you have a white (neutral) wire or else these will be useless to you.

I'm glad Amazon carries these at a reasonable price.

Neoair Enviro 68108 Replacement Filter Kit

To pricey
This is a good filter for what it is but it is pricey. My recommendation is to do your homework first. Look closely at the long term costs and you will likely find this is not the best in breed of air filters.

Perfect replacement filter set
This replacement filter kit is identical to the filters that came in the unit when new. Very simple to install, only takes a few minutes and the price is fair.

Neoair Enviro 68108 Replace Filter Kit is Great!
Even though this new filter looks very much the same as the original, it seems to work better. So sensitive! I sprayed the shower with a Lysol spray last week and that bathroom is at the back of the house. The air had to pass out of the bathroom at least 12 ft. to the door, all the way down our bedroom which is at least 24 ft. long, through my office (another 8 to 10 ft.) and into the living room and cross about 12 ft. to reach the filter. Not only did the filter detect the spray, but it had the strongest possible reaction to it. Stayed that way for hours. These filters are wonderful. Don't hesitate to buy, if you need one.

Deco Breeze Small Guitar Fan

Super Gift
This is a super gift for yourself or for anyone who loves and collects cat decor. I have the small one. It doesn't move lots of air, but it's all about the look. I've given one as a house present and two others for birthday gifts. Recipients were surprised and happy. It's kitschy but subtle.

I like this smaller size for the cat -- it looks more natural than the larger one. The measurements given (7 x 8) are just for the blade housing I think. The whole piece is more than a foot tall. I have, however, given two of the large sized dogs to dog lovers. There are now new cat variations and many other figures by DecoBreeze, but this is still my favorite.

No breeze
I purchased this fan for a dog-loving friend. She liked the way it looked, but it didn't generate a breeze. Since that is the purpose of a fan, she returned the item.

fun & practical
It's far nicer to look at than any traditional fan I have ever seen! I was very pleased with how quiet it is, which is a nice change from most of the smaller fans I've owned. I bought it for my office and it circulates the air very well. The quality of the finish and details is excellent.

Omega C-10W Professional Citrus Juicer, White

Looking for a good Citrus Juicer
Had an old inexpensive Braun juicer for many years that finally need to be replaced and found out they don't make them any more.
First purchased a stainless steel Breville. It looked nice, but for some reason did not have enough motor power which caused it to stall on juicing and returned it. Was very dissapointed.
Then went cheaper and bought a Tribest based on reviews at Amazon. It worked for about 1 year a part broke on it. Also, it was not dishwasher safe. Finally, purchased this Omega. First unit delivered had a slightly bent shaft and had a very annoying squeak. I decided for this much money it should work correctly. Returned the unit and requested a replacement.(transaction went smoothly).
Second unit was delivered and shaft appeared straight when it rotated. There was a still a slight squeak, but not as bad as first unit. I put small bit silicone lube used for my treadmill on the cent shaft near black bushing and it was eventually silenced. There is a...

Not a great Juicer- flimsy and cheap materials.
I ordered this to replace and upgrade from the Waring Pro I have had for almost 10 years of hard use. I use a Vita Mix and a Champion Juicer, and wanted a solid hardworking citrus juicer to sit with them on my kitchen island. From the pictures of the Omega C-10W, it looks like a well designed product, I especially like that it is tall, has a "splash guard" and three sizes of reamers.
When I opened the box and set it out, I was immediately surprised how LIGHT WEIGHT the juicer is. The base of the unit had come open in shipping , and the motor mount posts had broken. The motor unit was loose, with poorly attached wiring. The whole base is cheap light weight plastic. The reamers are thin plastic as well. For almost $200- I was expecting a solidly built Juicer. It is impossible to imagine something this poorly designed would ever hold up to "Professional" use, what ever that is!

Not what I expected
This juicer keeps overheating and shutting down after small quantities of juice. When it was working it was quiet and efficient.

Bunn BTX 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

Love My Bunn Coffee Maker
I've owned many coffee makers throughout the years, but the Bunn Thermofresh Coffee Brewer is the only one that makes consistently delicious coffee every time! Because the water stays hot, making a fresh pot is super fast! And because it does not have a warming plate, the coffee stays hot in the thermal carafe and does not develop a burned taste. A quality product made with thick stainless steel. We've enjoyed our Bunn Thermofresh Coffee Brewer for over 10 years without a problem. Great product!

Hubby loves this!
My hubby always complained because I make coffee at 4 am sometimes, and most coffee makers won't keep it warm when he wants it at 8. This pot DOES! And it doesn't even have a warming element under the carafe! Excellent for the price, too!

I love it!
This model replaced a Bunn Coffee Maker that we'd had for quite some time. I was a little leery b/c reviewers had said that it leaked when pouring the coffee. But, if you put the lid on carefully and tightly -- it does not leak. Very happy with this coffee maker. And, in the past, Bunn has been terrific about responding to any "glitches." I'm assuming they still are as responsive (should we need them!)

Tatung Induction Cooker with Stainless Steel Pot - 1500 Watts(WHITE)

Nice cooker
I have been using this product for about one month and I liked it.

It has a digital control panel,built-in digital timer,6 power levels. And it turns off if no cookware is detected or you accidently use a cookware thats not induction ready.

One more thing, this is probably the only WHITE induction cooker you can find. Enjoy!

Functional, but loud
Definitely faster and more convenient than a conventional stove. However, this induction cooker is annoyingly loud, with a powerful cooling fan that makes a lot of noise.

Also, a minor complaint: low heat is actually just intervals of full power and no heat at all.

Powerful tabletop cooker!
I own one for about a year and it become my major cooker. This time, I bought it as a gift to my sister. She tried it out and called me immediately to tell me she loved it.

Do be aware of two things, however:
1. it only works with either induction pot or stainless pot
2. higher levels (5-6) will consume stove level power and thus might cause electric interruption in some dormitory setting

Rival FD350S Stainless Steel Electric Fondue

I looked at over 6 brands/3 types/ bought this.
First the heating is the best, from warm to over 400+ it heats not only quickly but more important safely! Take a close look on 'more pictures' see the 3 stage system the element is welded to the bottom of the pot the temp guide slides in and the electric cord is breakaway using hook and magnet, no way has the pot fallen or slid off the table with the 2 klutzes that live with me. We started a family Fondue Friday and have tried it ALL. Chocolate, Mex cheese, broth boil, and fry. Candles only do chocolate and cheese, sterno if not careful burns the chocolate and only hot enough to fry for 30 min. maybe. Think out side the description and put soup in it for the buffet table, or baked beans. The cord is short but a heavy duty extension solved that and the safety features resolves worry. Best for 3 to 6 adults. Our favorite is doing a sweet & sour combo of shrimp, scallops, pork, chicken, beef, everybody got to dip and fry their favorites while picking out their steamed veggies, sauces...

Forget Sterno -- go electric!!
I received one of these as a wedding gift several years ago. It sat in the box for a couple of years, then after an excursion to a high-priced fondue restaurant, we decided to dig the pot out and see if we could replicate it the cheese fondue we had loved at the restaurant for less at home.

Previously, we had been to parties where people had cheese fondue and I had watched our hosts and hostesses struggle with keeping the gel fuel or Sterno lit, or waiting forever for the candle in the base to heat up the pot. I had never seen an electric fondue pot, so I didn't know how it would compare.

The pot performed wonderfully. There is a thermostat on the electric component that allows you precise control of how hot the pot gets. We have now done oil, cheese and chocolate fondue in the pot and it always works perfectly. The thermostat lets you keep the oil hot enough, but also allows you to adjust the heat downwards as necessary so you don't burn your cheese or chocolate fondue. The pot...

Great Family Fun
I have two children of my own and we have done fondue in the past, however, when I married a man with 3 children, our fondue pot wasn't large enough to accomodate all of us. When I saw this one, I had to try it. All 7 of us can have an entire fondued meal and have a lot of fun doing it. It's a great way to slow dinner down and spend some quality time with the family. The oil or chocolate stays the right temperature and the magnetic release cord makes me feel so much more at ease, because I know if one of the kids trips on the cord the pot isn't going to turn over. It is very well made. We love it!

Calphalon 10-Cup Quick Brew Thermal Coffee Maker, 1800541

Overpriced and cheaply made
I chose this coffee maker primarily for the removable storage tank so that it would be easier to clean. But the machine is cheaply made and its features work poorly. The handle for the storage tank, by the way, is not remotely strong enough to carry the full cannister; don't depend on it. I have had the machine for two weeks, and the handle already comes off with the slightless pressure.The screw-on lid is a royal pain to deal with. Calphalon promises that you can remove the thermal cannister and the brewing will stop until it is returned: don't believe it. The cheaply made filter system often gets caught, and the coffee will pour right through.
I feel like a dope. I have used twenty-dollar coffee makers forever with dependable results. I decided to splurge and got burned.

Calphalon Quick Brew
This coffee maker has the features I have been looking for including the thermal carafe. So far, the BOLD setting is actually making stronger coffee than I prefer. (Didn't know that could happen!)The maker functions fair. The extra $20 for the thermal carafe may not be necessary. I am finding that it does not keep the coffee hot for very long. Three hours after brewing, kept in the thermal carafe, and it is room temperature. (They say to put hot water in the carafe for 30 seconds to prep it to keep the coffee hot longer.) Also, so far the abiity to stop the flow of the brewing to grab a cup has proven to be messy. The flow of the brew generally does not stop.

Love it!
I have found this to be a great alternative to the Cuisinart I had. What I like better is the removable reservoir for filling and also the bright display. It also looks awesome and is much better constructed than most coffe-makers out there. There does seem to be a problem with the pause-brew as you do get some drips. I think I have figured that out. You have to remove the carafe quickly and it seems then to work better. The lid is also a little tricky to get on. I find the coffee stays pretty hot for about 2 hours. Not the greatest length of time but very livable. I always brew just water first and let it sit in the carafe for a few minutes. Then I brew the coffee and take the filter and grounds out so no heat escapes from the carafe. Very acceptable. Bottom line is I would definitely recommend. It is very sturdy and looks great. Cuisinart could take a cue from the refillable water tank ( especially since the Cuisinart is so damn tall! ) and a better display ( way too small to read...

Oster 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker BVST-JBXSS41 - Stainless Steel

Very nice for the price
I paid about $30 for this coffeemaker and couldn't be much happier. I've had terrible luck with more expensive Mr. Coffee makers having mechanical issues and having a poorly designed carafe that spills every time you pour, so I was delighted to pay less for this Oster and have NONE of those issues. It looks quite nice on the counter, has a reusable filter that works great and has been going issue-free for months. The only thing that would make this 5 star (for the price) would be if the programming feature was improved. Currently, you hold down a button to set current or delay brew time. It only cycles forward, so if you want to set delay brew ten minutes earlier, you have to hold that button as is cycles through 23 hours, and 50 minutes.

A good basic no frills coffee maker
So I read a lot of reviews before I bought a new coffeemaker. We loved our old one and hated to get rid of it but a part broke that couldn't be fixed. This one does look attractive. I don't like that I have to pull it out from under the counter top to fill it with water. So far I like the carafe, it seems to pour without spilling. Pouring the water into the receptacle in the back is tricky with the last bit of water, it tends to get into the grounds part and leak down onto the heating element. Its most annoying feature: you can't turn the warming plate back on to keep coffee warm. There is no way to keep the coffee warm without running a new cycle of coffee. And the clock can't be set going backwards so you have to push the button down over and over for each minute, and if its 12 hours off, it takes forever to set it. Annoying. The time delay brew feature is nice. The permanent filter has been easy to clean. It is a pretty noisy machine when it brews but I don't mind that at all. Its...

Love this coffee maker
I agree with the last review, it's a great pot for the money-$35. It looks classy on the counter next to my stainless steel range, has nice blue display lights. I haven't used the delay brew feature. We also like the 'strong brew' feature. And most importantly- it does not dribble when filling or pouring. We love it and would buy it again.

not the same as the one I had
I've used a Chantry sharpener for 20+ years with great results.Just a few strokes and your knives are sharp again.This model,although it looks the same,is different.The sharpening rods on my old one rolled when you pulled a blade through the notch.These do not.So far I am not pleased with this unit,but I'll try it a few more times before I go back to the Chef's Choice electric completely.It always gets my knives razor sharp.Kitchen,hunting or tactical.

Works, it's small, always handy.
For a regular family cook like me, it's perfect. I sharpen a LOT. I'm a big fresh vegetable cooker, so I'm constantly chopping or slicing. I'm finally able to quickly sharpen up a small knife for a tomato, and all my chef's knives keep a nice edge now. I'm happy with it, and don't notice my knives being damaged. I can see the small serrated edges that other reviews mention, but they are very subtle and don't negatively impact cutting performance. Good stuff.

Heavy Duty WindStream 18 inch Super High Velocity / Floor Fan, All Steel Safety Grill and Metal Blade, 220 watts on high 6,391 cubic feet per minute, REAL CHROME FINISH-NOT PAINT, UL Listed, Solid product, compare to the weight of similar items; thicker grill, bigger motor, top quality.

Great Floor Fan for the Dogs and the whole house
This all metal fan is really powerful and on high is a windstorm of air. We use it as a whole house fan I put it on a table about 3 feet from the window and it moves an enormous amount of air. This fan blows you hair back like the old ones used to do. It is also great fro drying my Golden Retrievers in the spring and summer when they decide to go swimming. I like the controls on the front of the fan that sits very sturdy on the floor without vibrating like the last cheap one I bought. The motor windings are very impressive with all copper not like the last fan I bought at the store. The real chrome finish is nice looking also.

great floor fan
Arrived very quickly. However, since it was a gift for my husband the item was fully displayed on the box. Oh well...regardless, it is exactly what we were looking for . Just as described, great air flow, not too big to move around.

powerful solid fan
Solid fan, moves lots of air. Would buy again. My only problem with it (though not enough to remove a star) is that I wish it had a lower setting. It's "low" setting is powerful enough that I don't like to consume that much power to leave it running all night.

You don't need to put this fan in the window like a typical slim box fan. You just *aim* it at the window and it will blast air out, thus drawing it in any other windows in the house.

Bon Appetit Blender 1.3HP 8-Blade Dual-Action Power Blender with Metal Drive

EXCITING 8 BLADES
This is a fair blender, looks cheaper than most. I'm surprise that it's not glass, kind of disappointed because of the name it carries, but again, it works fairly well. Blades turn in opposite directions to keep food from settling at the bottom, pulse action for ice, easy to clean. I like that fact that it comes with its own wrench to take the bottom off for easier cleaning, this is new for me, never been able to take off the bottom of a blender until now. The eight blades is the key to this blender, that's what makes it exciting. No other blender has 8 blades. You can make soup,smoothies, butter and much more. I would have given it a 5 star but because of the disappointment I felt for it not being glass and the fact that is does not puree foods well at all, it leaves bits and pieces of food and I don't like that puree/liquify is what I want with no bits and pieces.

Very powerful!
I'm really happy with the purchase. The quality is good and it works like a charm. I've used it for a month now, with frequent use and it works like the day I took it out of the box. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Received blender working fine
I am using this blender to make 2-4 cups of light vegetable puree. It has been used just about everyday for close to a month now.

Air King 3-Speed Oscillating Tower Fan #9215

Great for Cooling Home Theater Components
This unit can be controlled remotely, either thru a Logitech Harmony controller or with the remote that comes with the fan. The Logitech Harmony 900 automatically creates buttons for controlling fan speed, oscillation, mode and power up/down. Slick! I like the fact that the fan issues a confirming beep upon startup and shut down, so even when controlled from a different room you can listen and confirm that it started up or powered down. Can also be set to oscillate and has it own built in shutoff timer. Mine has worked reliably for nearly two years.

great buy!
Easy to assemble!!!
It's extremely quiet and it cools very very very well!
Rotates enough and air doesn't hurt your eyes
:)

Awesome fan!
My review will be short and simple. This is a great fan. It really is much quieter than regular fans. Yes, a big 12" spinning blades fan will push more air, but not a LOT more air, not enough to justify their noise over this unit. I can have it much closer to me and still hear the TV.

The remote is great. It was a breeze to set this up with my Logitech remote, except I couldn't figure out what button was being assigned the toggle on/off function. (Turns out it was the Channel Up and not the Power button, so I just made a custom button on the display.)

The stand seemed overly complicated to put together. There's three different sizes of screws to join everything together, but even then it didn't take long.

And yes, the beeping every time you turn it on and off is insanely annoying! That's the only reason this doesn't get five stars.

Charges, Easy!
So Easy to Maneuver, It's Light, Slides Across the Floor, Gets Into the Hard to Reach Places, Has a Detachment that Gets into Even Harder to Reach Places and Is Ever Easier to Maneuver..
Cleaning it Out is a Snap.. See How Fast You Can Do It.. :D Was Kind of Hard to Figure Out the First Time, Though Once You Do, It's Like, "Oh!!"..
It's Sucking Power Kind of Sucks, Though Everything Else About it is So Nice and Comfortable, I'm Not Buying Another One Till It's Kaput.. It Doesn't Leave the Carpet Looking Like it Just Got Vacuumed Clean, Though It Still Looks Clean Enough to Put Off Vacuuming for a Few Days Clean..

Home Base with Fast Charger for Roomba 500 Series Item# 82101

roomba charger
excellent addition for your roomba,sometimes having one charger isn't enough, having extra chargers in different rooms lets the roomba find one in whatever room it is in. the light towers didn't work well for me, the roomba would run out of juice in different rooms, this eliminates that problem.

Roomba home base
Works well and did include the charger. No issues and arrived in a timely manner.

Broan 412404 24 In. Stainless Steel Non-Ducted Range Hood

Exactly as described
Nothing fancy, but it does exactly what is supposed to do and at a much lower price then the big box stores. Extremely fast shipping, got it 2 days.

Stainless Steel 24 inch nonducted range hood
The product arrived well boxed and in excellent condition. Installation was straight forward and easy if you are handy. Some knowledge of electrical polarities is essential (black is hot and white is neutral, green is ground) A second person is necessary to hold the unit in order to locate mounting screws to underside of kitchen cabinets. The unit is performing well as designed. One minor difficulty is the precut through wiring knock-out is difficult to punch out.

Works & Fit Prefect
Works and fit prefect. Installation was super easy. Sound level is acceptable. It looks great will our other stainless steel applicances.

300 Weston Vacuum Sealer Bags 6" x 10" PINT Size FDA Approved

I love these bags!!!!
These are the best bags I've used and a fantastic value. They are a lot more inexpensive than the regular name brand bags.

Good Bags for the Price
These bags are so much more cost effective than Food Saver bags. I have a vacuum failure every now and then, but not any more than with other brands. Great product.

Great Value
Other bags by this manufacturer were highly rated so I decided to give this size a try. They seal great and the preexisting factory seal at the bottom of the bag is wide and has never failed the only seal failures have been due to the idiot running the machinery.
