Appliance Reviews

This hand mixer is very powerful. I love it! I have used it on oatmeal cookie batter and banana bread batter, which are both thick. The mixer did very well. The beaters are easy to clean. It comes with 2 types of beaters, one set for bread dough and one set for general use. This mixer was shipped quickly.

This kitchen machine (it is much more than a mixer and a blender) is one of the best things I've bought for my kitchen. The design of every accessory and part is superb. There is so much attention being given to detail. I have the slicer/shredder and the juicer, on top of the included mixer and blender. I highly recommend this to anyone.

I don't understand why the KitchenAid machines sell so much better. They are slightly cheaper, but are not as versatile or as powerful (or, as well designed). Don't get me wrong--the KA machines are nice machines, but this one blows them out of the kitchen by any measure.

This slicer shedder will hold two pounds of shredded cheese. It is fast and very easy to clean. One blade grates both medium and course or slices thin and thick just flip them over so you only have to store half as many blades.

Sometimes a kitchen appliance has to do double-duty in a single day. Often, you don't want to dirty another dish just so you can empty your blender for a new recipe. If you have a SPARE blender pitcher, you won't have to. Think about those big family dinners where you'd love to store and chill gazpacho or salsa till you pour it easily into serving dishes. Or times when keeping smoothies in the fridge till guests arrived (late, of course!) seemed to save the day. Use one for pancake batter and one for scrambling eggs for breakfast. It's so quick!! I've had the bosch blender for over a year and find it hard to believe this pitcher/blending unit would break (it washes sooooo nicely) so you probably won't need it for replacement purposes. However, having 2 on hand is a life-saver, a time-saver and a HUGE aggravation saver and relieves me from having to rush handwash my original pitcher. You will love having a spare to pop in the fridge!! BUY ONE NOW!!

This is a bread makers dream. This is a bread maker that is high tech., yet simple to use. It has many features not avaiable on other makers, (and I've gone through two others). This machine allows you to customize the bread you want to make, various types and batters, sizes and crusts...and more.
It has a hard crust feature to replicate the European crusts. It even does bagels that come out as bought at the deli.
Sultan, the manufaturer, has another great product.
You won't be diappointed with this machine.

Shopping for a blender can get aggravating because of so many things to compare, and you may end up convincing yourself that you have to spend $150 or more to get something lasting. This blender will prove that philosophy wrong. Take advantage of the fact that this is a new company offering this incredible machine at such a low price...I guarantee that won't last long. I had to wait more than three months to get mine from Amazon (who were nice enough to upgrade my shipping to 2nd FedEx free of charge to compensate for the long wait).

To start, this is the quietest blender I have used so far. Then, the way the glass jug fits over the base is different and gives an added feeling of security. If you look closely at the picture, you will see two of the three metal, wide "prongs" that stick up from the base and kind of cradle the jug. It just FEELS good. Also, the six-blades have a unique design (in fact, I thought they were defective and bent in wierd directions), but you realize that they were especially made to crush ice. I have never been able to crush ice this easily. No more of those chunks that end up below the blades, because one arm of the blades actually aims DOWNWARDS. Even the top of the jug is nice; it is heavy and fits snugly. Believe it or not, even the electric plug is designed better than all else; it has a loop at the end that allows you to safely unplug it with wet hands.

To top it all off, the design and material makes this look like an expensive designer blender. The simple elegance of the switch is just the right touch.

In all, I love this blender. It has actually inspired me and I now want to blend everything, including my AM cereal.

This one's turned entertaining at my house from Budweiser and Chardonnay to Stawberry Daquiris and Margueritas. I've used glass and plastic blenders before that I used to hide under the kitchen counter but the sleek and stylish stainless steel design of this blender have made it a proud showpiece on my bar. It crushes berries and even ice with ease and the pitcher also makes a good cocktail shaker for more liquid drinks. The pitcher is made of thick stainless steel that looks like it's made to last. Looks great, works well - 5 stars!

The first thing I noticed about this is just how good it looks. It really is a showpiece in my kitchen. The smooth, rounded shape and the shiny chrome finish really make it look fabulous and I leave it out on the counter all the time. Apart from that, it seems pretty much a normal toaster. The extra-lift feature makes getting small bagels out very easy, and the electronic buttons are handy too. I like the way it can take four big pieces of bread or bagels without taking up too much room in the kitchen. 5 stars!

I first ordered a model 645 Veri-tilt unit but was disapointed because the "travel" on the slicer was not adaquate to slice my much loved prosciutto.The blade was only 7 inches and was serrated. It also lacked a blade cover so I was sure it would "drag" when slicing. (At $20.00 a pound for good prosciutto I didn't even try!)

The larger model 662 with the 8.6 inch smooth blade was a far better choice! It had a covered blade that only exposes the cutting edge of the blade to the meat surface. This is also a much safer configuration then the "exposed" blades found on the less expensive models.

The unit is solidly built and appears to be of a very high quality. The travel on the slicing cariage is long enough to cut most meats. The "rump" side of the average prosciutto is still a bit larger than the travle distance of the slicer but this is easily overcome by trimming the sides of the meat to slightly narrow it.

I have been thrilled with how thin this slicer can can "shave" a piece of meat. I can actually read through some of the slices. I have used this slicer to cut Roast beef, salami,turkey,chicken, tomatoes,onions, prosciutto, and even limes! It has never failed to perform as I had hoped. This is truly a "deli" quality slicer even if it is a bit small. Don't get me wrong, it is still a rather large machine and needs a bit of counter and storage space to operate. I actually am happy that it will fit in my cabinet, because my wife wasen't thrilled with the idea of this thing being on the countertop all of the time!

Having this machine has saved me both time and money when entertaining friends. (We throw parties a few times a year and it has made quite an impression on our guests!)

I have not tried the included blade sharpener yet but the instruction are clear and quite simple. I'll post again once I have tried the sharpener.

Thanks, Amazon for a great product and a gracious return policy!

This disk blade will make the string shape potatoes and fruits that we all love. The potatoes and fruit will come out firm straight. Not mash or wiggling like a French yellow bowl of ... The potatoes goes right through the disk blade and never backup or bend.
