Westinghouse WST2002 SaladXPress Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The spin speed is much less than that achieved with our previous hand crank salad spinner. It does not spin fast enough to remove excess water from lettuce. After a short time, the SaladXPress became appreciably slower. Under the terms of the warranty, it was replaced with what appears to be a new unit. The new one isn't any better than the first. We've given up on the SaladXPress and purchased an OXO SoftWorks hand powered salad spinner.

Think of it as a hybrid food processor/salad spinner. The 400 watt motor can grate or slice fruits and vegetables as well as spin them dry after rinsing. It can also grate and spin cheese, meats and more. With storage space always at a premium, it's the multi-function appliances that win the day.

Farberware FBL500SS Millennium Stainless-Steel 2-Speed Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got the faberward blender and at first use I thought it was OK. Very soon it got louder and started to take longer each use to make a smoothie- yogurt and a frozen banana pre-chopped into little pieces. By two months it can no longer blend a fresh banana, is horribly loud, and is leaking liquid out of the center bottom around the bearings. Faberware would not refund my money, buat will only give me a re-built blender of the same model.

Electrolux DLX-2000 Magic Mill Assistent Stand Mixer, MagicMill DX200 N24 Assistant Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Electrolux DLX-2000 Magic Mill Assistent Stand Mixer is a superb dough kneader. I make bread so I have not used it to make other food items. I took up bread making last year after a 25 year lapse. I started with an all in one bread maker but it was not versatile enough. I sold it. I then tried a Kitchen Aid Professional 600 which burned out after 5 minutes of kneading 6 cups of whole grain flour. I returned it. I bought the DLX-2000 and I haven't looked back. It handles 12 cups of whole grain flour without a hiccup. The resulting dough is beautiful.
This mixer is solidly constructed. The foot print is about the same as the large Kitchen Aid stand mixers but it is not as tall. It is much easier to use because the bowl is completely open. I bought the grain flaker attachment. I'll report later how it works.

Hamilton Beach 68055 Ice Shaver, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My fridge's ice maker turns out crescent shaped ice cubes and they don't work well with this machine. The ice went round and round in the shaving chamber but rarely engaged the shaving blade. There just isn't enough downward pressure to force the ice onto the blade.
Update: I went out and bought some ice cube trays hoping that the size or shape of the ice cube was a factor. No luck, this thing still doesn't work so I'll be returning it.

Hamilton Beach 55102 Blender Replacement Parts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hamilton Beach has made their cutter blades the same way for over twenty years - as far back as I can remember. And I've used a lot of them. Never had any problems with them. A couple years ago, they came out with the so-called "wave-action" cutter blade. The new cutter blades are a disaster - an example of how to take a perfectly good design and ruin it. What the wave-action blades do - is slosh everything around in the blender jar, creating a mess. It splashes all over the top cover lid. Not only that, but the new cutter blades leak around the bottom, where the round flat rubber seal goes. That's another thing they changed. The rubber seal that sits below the cutter blades is less in width. Since I do a lot of blending, I have four blender jars and four of these new wave-action blades. All they do is create a mess inside the blender jar and are for more prone to leaking. I have to tighten the base far more than I ever had to in the past. And they still leak.
With all that in mind, I set out looking for some of the old-style blades. I finally found them - or so I thought. I ordered four of these old-style cutter blades. The photo shown on Amazon clearly shows the old style cutter blade. Ah, but everything is not as it seems. To put icing on the cake, Hamilton Beach has done something downright [...]. Get this - they show the old style blades on the front of the box, but are putting the new style blades inside. What's shown on the box does not represent what's inside. The picture you see here on Amazon, does not represent what's in the box. Look at the two photos I've uploaded that clearly shows this. [...]
Update 3/20/07. I did eventually find the old-style cutter blades on Amazon. Do a search for "Hamilton Beach Commercial Bar Blender Blade". I've ordered several of these and can verify these are like the old-style blades.

KitchenArt 80070 Elite Carousel, 8 Auto Measure Jars Without Spices, Champagne Satin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This spicerack is AMAZING! The greatest thing about it is that you can set it by the stove and you don't even have to measure as you cook. If you turn the canisters one notch, it automatically measures 1/4 tsp for you. It rotates easily around, and the canisters stay on the rack as it rotates. If you don't want to use the automeasure feature, the tops of the canisters lift open for easy pouring or sprinkling. My one and only complaint about it is that I wish it were bigger. I could use a double decker.

Weston Meat Grinders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upon receiving the package, the front ring nut wasn't machined properly and it even had a hole in the side; looks like a poor cast job. I called customer service and got a replacement. It also seems to fit better too.
Okay, now onto using it. It grinds stuff fairly well, and there won't be any complaints here. However, after using it, I washed it, dried all of the components, reassembled it and put it back in the box for storage.
The next time I used it, I noticed rust along all of the non-tinned parts. This includes the crank handle, the knife, the plate, the clamp screw, the thumbscrew. They should have made this from stainless steel instead of tin plating.
No big deal, I just re-washed it and coated it with vegetable oil. Now, after having used it a few times, the tin plating has chipped off the plates, the auger and grinder body where they meet when spinning; along the shaft as well as at the ends.
I think it's too late to return this now, and probably too much hassle. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this item. It looks like cheap overseas manufacturing with no quality control.

Rival IB954W Ultrablend 2-Speed Handheld Immersion Blender Review

(More customer reviews)I have been making smoothies almost everyday and they come out great. Put my decaf coffee and 1% milk in the microwave and froth it with this stick-like device and in 10 seconds it froths. Have used it to whip baked potatoes into creamy mashed. Am always thinking I'm over-taxing its little motor, but no, I start it up and its still working.

Equipped with a 100-watt motor, this handheld immersion-style blender quickly purees soups, blends gravies and batters, mixes cool drinks and ice-cream shakes, and much more. The unit's stainless-steel cutting blade provides extremely smooth and even blending, while its protective blade guard helps prevent splattering. In addition, its long neck reaches deep into pots, pitchers, and bowls for extended blending options, eliminating the need to dirty extra dishes. The blender offers comfortable one-handed operation thanks to its lightweight design, ergonomic handle with a cushioned grip, and extra-large fingertip control button for low or high speed settings (shuts off automatically when released). For quick clean-up, the blender's detachable shaft can go in the dishwasher and the smooth surface of the blender body wipes clean with a damp cloth. Not sure where to start? A recipe booklet with great-tasting ideas comes included. The two-speed immersion-style blender measures approximately 3 by 3 by 15 inches.

Oster CG100 Electric Cheese Grater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as a gift, but I'm considering returning it after three days of use. The concept is excellent. The ease of use is excellent.
However, it's a virtually useless gadget. The motor is seriously underpowered and has a lot of trouble grating hard cheeses like parmesan. I tried using both drums, in case the finer drum was 'too fine', but it still took about 3 minutes to grate about 1/4 cup of cheese with the coarse drum.
For now, I'm sticking with my Microplane.

Kalorik BL-16911 500-Watt 2-Speed Countertop Blender with 50-Ounce Glass Jar, Metallic Red Spray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are plenty of other good options out there for blenders at this price point. The only reason I bought this one was because it was recommended by Cook's Illustrated some time ago. But from the beginning, it was a really loud blender, and didn't cut through chunks of frozen fruit and ice smoothly like they said it would. We still endured it, until last week I tried to grind some rice for my infant son's cereal. Now, you might say, "Well. Of course it's not supposed to grind rice" but actually most blenders do this task just fine. Our previous blender, a flimsy little Oster w/a plastic jar, had no problem with the two minute grind. But the Kalorik started to smell within a minute or so, and when I looked at the rice, it had flecks of grease in it - the grease had pushed up from beneath the motor through the blade attachment and was all over the base of the blade. Gross, and even though it still runs, I am afraid to use it anymore for any of our drinks or blending task. Bummer. It really does look nice, but that's about all it is, plus a wasted $50.

Equipped with a powerful 500-watt motor, this professional-grade countertop blender works great for parties or everyday use in the kitchen. The appliance provides six stainless-steel blades, two of which are serrated, for chopping, crushing, and blending. So whether it's liquefying frozen fruit, whipping up creamy smoothies, or making pureed soups, the blender can handle the toughest blending chores, even crushing ice. In addition, its simple control dial makes it easy to choose from four settings that include, low, high, pulse, and off. The blender also comes with a large 50-ounce glass jar, which offers a generous handle, a drip-free spout, and a tight-fitting plastic cover with a removable filter cap for adding ingredients during operation. Other highlights include a brushed stainless-steel base, a safety lock, non-slip feet, and an embossed Kalorik logo. The jar washes up quickly by hand, and the base can be wiped clean as needed. The blender measures 7-1/4 by 7-1/4 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
