Good humidifier but small res.

This is a great little humidifier. It is simple with no frills. The reservior is a little small and really goes through the water in a dry place, but overall it does humidify well and I would highly recommend this unit.

This is an excellent buy. Quiet and shuts off when desired humidity reached. Recommend highly.

The only negative is that the installation instructions are a little cryptic and the fan makes some noise at highest speed.

At low speed, it's silent. Appearance is great and performance is great too (so far!).

I got this set for x-mas and it is fantastic. The 11" skillet has steep sides so it holds an entire meal, while the smaller skillet is perfect for eggs or small jobs. The stock pot works wonderfully for gumbo. I have not had anything burn with this set and clean up is as simple as warm water and a sponge. The glass lids all fit perfectly. I did have one lid handle that was attached backwards, but 5 seconds with a screwdriver fixed that. Must have been hitting the beer a bit heavy that morning in the factory :)

The stuff is MASSIVE, so make sure you have large cabinets to store them and strong arms to lift them. I have dinged up the skillet a bit but the non-stick coating is thick enough so small scratches do not get through, so it still performs well. Compared to the thin, warped, scratched stainless and non-stick junk I had before, these pots and pans are just fantastic. I only gave them 4 stars because I don't have a lot of experience with high quality cookware and there could be something better out there, who knows?

We actually purchased this set about 3 years ago. I came across it here on Amazon and though I would take a second a write a review. This cookware is amazing! Cooks evenly, cleans up instantly, and after almost 3 years of use, it is still like brand new. Very heavy duty, strong non-stick coating, and will not warp like the cheap stuff.

If you are considering a new cookware set, do not hesitate to purchase anything by Berndes, it is worth the money.

After much on-line research, I purchased this machine. It is amazing. The first time I used it, the Bissell picked up so much dirt that you would have sworn my carpet had never been vacuumed before! It left my carpets looking great. However, I couldn't give it five stars because on my bare floor, it just blew the dirt around, so don't buy this machine if you have lots of bare floors.

I used this for about three hours yesterday and noticed a remarkable change taking place in my house - well it's a townhome actually, but I like to think of it as my home which I also sometimes call a house. I got a great deal on the rent and couldn't pass it up.

The Black and Decker heater is a pretty good heater at a value price. It's got several different settings depending on the size of the room you want to heat and puts out a lot of heat in a limited area. One nice feature is the temperature indicator. It's also got a Frost Watch setting which will automatically turn the heater on if the temperature drops below 40 degrees. It also has very nice safety features. Including a switch under the heater that is pressed when the heater is sitting upright. If it should tip over, the switch is deactivated and the heater automatically shuts off.
It's a very nice little heater.

I own two heaters: a Vornado and the Black and Decker. Both of these heaters are wonderful and I would recommend either equally. First, the safety features on both are outstanding. Neither are similar to the heaters we grew up with which were made of metal and glowed like charcoal. These both produce very good heat, quickly, and are nice to have if you do not wish to heat your entire home. The Black and Decker does have many safety features which is nice. Both have their pluses and I truly can't think of minuses for either. Order both!

This is a cool item to own. If you are looking for something to help start your summer off right, well this is it. It was made for crushing ice just right for those speciality drinks. Get one and enjoy!

Don't let the price and appearance fool you. This blender is amazing! I was worried about how well it would crush ice, but it does it effortlessly. Ice cubes turn to slush in about 5 seconds. The size of the blender is just perfect for making one or two servings of your favorite smoothie, without taking up any counter space. You can tell some serious design went into this product, because they make it really easy to clean by putting the blade inside the jar. The jar also stands upright without the base so you can just put the rest of your smoothie in the fridge.

Note however, that this is not an all-purpose blender, since there are only two settings (on and off). I personally don't find that to be a problem at all. How useful is a dozen or more different speed settings on a full-size blender anyway? (You can simulate the effect by just turning off the blending sooner.) The two-speed dial just makes operating the blender a no-brainer.

Overall, very happy with the product! Perfect for a college student or for anyone who doesn't need a full-size blender.

The first thing I looked at when I opened the package was how flimsy the beaters looked, I was afraid they would break if I used it for mixing a thicker batter, but then I plugged it in and turned it on. I was amazed at how much power this mixer had! I had considered buying the 300watt mixer because I tend to make thick batters and I was weary that this couldn't handle it, but I was so wrong. It worked great on everything I've thrown at it so far, from coffee cake batter to oatmeal cookies I've had no problems. However I would advise caution on using it for very light dry mixtures such as strudel topping, it has too much power and things go flying. The spatula attachment is great, it scrapes the sides of the bowl so everything gets easily blended. I would highly recommend this mixer as a powerful alternative to some of the pricier brands.

Compact and lightweight, this little mixer is a must for everybody's kitchen. It stores easily, and the blades pop out for quick and easy cleaning. The body of the mixer wipes down well, too, which is important when you're blending something that spatters everywhere. There is an actual different between the various speeds you can select, and although you might have to push down a little to incorporate, say, butter, into a recipe, overall the little mixer does its job well... and it lasts a long time. A great and inexpensive gift for your favorite cook!

A little difficult to get certain food in and out of the cooking container, otherwise it cooks food very well.

Bought this contraption three months ago. We used to do Tandoori Chicken and Seekh Kebabs once a month on our gas grill. Since this product we are rotisserie-ing cut-up or whole chickens, chicken tikkas (skewers), seekh kebabs, steak strips or something every week end. Cooking time for a whole chicken is 45-50 minutes with centre heat. One of the best cooking devices and an ingenious design. It is a bit not-easy to get the whole chicken off the ring it sits on, but that is almost a no-thought when we are licking our fingers minutes later.

Now let's get one thing straight here, I'm a man! I need a man's toaster, something that will make me the finest, most delicately darkened toast this side of Paris, Texas! To have such a discriminating taste in the field of toasters is unfortunate, for very few can meet the simple requirements that I ask for! After years of searching, I found the Black and Decker T2400 Toast-It-All Deluxe 2-Slice Wide Slot Toaster! It features extra wide slots (to accordingly fit my Texas toast!) bagel and bread setting switchers, and a crumb tray that can't be beat! Now I admit, all the frou-frou with her switches confuses me! That's why she loses the extra star! But thankfully, my wife knows just what all the confusing nobs do, so when she makes my breakfast it's top notch, always satisfying my taste gumption! And above all it's made and manufactured in the U S of A! The Black & Decker T2400 Toast-It-All Deluxe 2-Slice Wide Slot Toaster ain't perfect, but she's as close as they come!

I bought the Black & Decker T2400 Toast-It-All Deluxe 2-Slice Wide Slot Toaster not knowing how great it would be, but it's now the best toaster I've ever owned. Really convienient, with settings for bagels, and it's even got an option where you can keep your bread sitting in the toaster after it's done toasting and it stays warm. Hands down, the bes toaster you will find in this price range, a fine appliance for the common man!

The only reason i didn't give five stars is because you have to grasp the sugar bowl lid a certain way to have a grip on it, otherwise its adorably functional! I would recommend.

This sugar and creamer is both functional and decorative. If you or someone you know collects daisy items, this will be the perfect addition to the collection. These are well-made pieces that are dishwasher-safe. I love mine!
