Singer Long Life Light Bulb 10 Watt-120 Volt-Screw-In Base Review

The Button Magic just does not do as good a job as a needle and thread do. The plastic fasteners break and the buttons are very loose--one good yank (or an accidental catch on something) and the button comes out, often breaking the plastic "T" ends. Plus, the "T"s need to be pushed through the button holes, often requiring small pliers which can mangle/flatten the "T" tips. Better to just learn how to sew a button on, I say (type)!

Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale Review

Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
Average Reviews:

There may only be seven reviews for this scale, but there's a reason that all seven of us have rated this product with 5 stars; it is a marvelous machine. You get 5 numbers: weight, body fat, muscle mass, water percentage and bone mineral mass. There is an athletic setting and a regular setting. When I checked body fat (the most examined number) in both athletic and regular mode, the range of fat seemed consistent with a range for my height, weight and build. Obviously, each user will choose the setting that seems most accurate to them (athletic or normal).
The only issue that I have with the scale is in the length of time that information is displayed. Weight is flashed three times and then is solid for about 5 seconds before the scale turns itself off. As well, the body percentages cycle three times before they turn off. I would prefer for the numbers to show as long as you are on the scale. I think that the manufacturers designed it that way to preserve battery life.
Nevertheless, if you do repeated tests within the same time span, you get consistent results (no variations). So, the consistency alone is the main reason for getting this scale. I highly recommend this product. Even if you just use it for the scale it's worth it.

Mr. Coffee TM70 3-Quart Iced-Tea Maker Review

I had an earlier Mr. Coffee Ice Tea Maker before this one and it was awesome. I loved it. The only problem was that it just got old from lots of use and the pitcher and tea bag holder started breaking. So I bought a new one for Christmas this year. This model. And it is absolutely horrible. The problem appears to be that as the tea is coming down out of the top of the unit and trying to drop into the pitcher, the unit starts acting up and the hot tea starts getting distributed onto the sides of the unit around the end of the pitcher, instead of falling directly into the end of the pitcher, and it leaks all over the counter. Horrible, horrible design. I do not understand how Mr. Coffee hasn't been sued over this piece of crap model yet from having it burn someone. I'm returning mine and I'll think twice about buying another Mr. Coffee model again.

Coffee drinkers have their automatic brewers, why shouldn't tea drinkers? Ideal for family gatherings or summer picnics, this versatile machine brews up 3 quarts of iced tea quickly and easily. Simply pour water into the water reservoir and add the desired amount of tea to the removable brew basket--five to seven bags of tea or 2 to 3 tablespoons of loose tea work well when brewing a full pitcher; sugar, lemon, and other flavorings can also be added to the brew basket for customized results. Then fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the ice-level marking and slide it against the machine with the pitcher spout open and flush against the appliance, and push the "on" button. The water heats up and steeps the tea in the brew basket, then hot tea drips down into the pitcher of ice. At the end of the brewing cycle, the machine shuts off automatically for safety and peace of mind. Other highlights include a power indicator light, a water window in the reservoir for accurate filling, and a steeping lever for adjusting the brew strength. The pitcher provides a lid, a generous handle, and a nondrip pouring spout for graceful serving, and it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The iced-tea maker measures 8-1/2 by 15-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Nostalgia RHP-625 Hot-Air Retro Popcorn Maker Review

Nostalgia RHP-625 Hot-Air Retro Popcorn Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like popcorn. I was totally psyched to use this popper, and the fact that it air-popped made me love it more. It's easy to use and easy to clean. However, from the first use the popcorn went flying everywhere! I placed a good-sized bowl underneath the slide/opening shoot and it caught about 3/4 of the popcorn. The second time, I balanced a very tall popcorn bucket underneath the shoot and still, popcorn and unpopped kernels were flying everywhere. There are a lot more unpopped kernels being thrown than actual popcorn, which is a pain to find and clean up and to get hit with. After the money I spent, I won't give it up, but I think this is the most disappointing thing I bought all year. The popcorn that does land in the bowl is good, I think it has a slight staleness to it, but my friends think it tastes especially fresh. Maybe I'm a little bitter by the time I get to eating it. Also, on the second use, the machine just suddenly stopped. I wasn't sure if it overheated or what (the popper gets extremely hot) but it did begin working again.
I bought this trying to save money and calories versus the microwave kind. I think I might keep an Orville bag of Natural around just in case.

Using hot air instead of oil, this convenient tabletop-size electric popper produces a deliciously healthy, low-fat snack. Its retro style brings back memories of old-fashioned diner-style units of the 1950s. The popper offers a capacity of 3-1/2 ounces of kernels, and pops enough corn to please a family, several dorm friends, or an office crowd. Easy to use and easy to clean, the appliance produces fresh, hot popcorn in minutes. A measuring cap comes included to ensure the proper amount of kernels get poured into the top. Great for fundraisers, birthday parties, and other social gatherings, the 1080-watt ETL-approved popcorn maker measures 7-3/5 by 11 by 15-3/5 inches and carries a 90-day warranty.

Singer Long-Life 10-Watt 120-Volt Screw-In Sewing Machine Bulb Review

Average Reviews:

I have been looking for 10-watt sewing machine light bulbs everywhere in brick and mortar stores but couldn't find any so I resorted to Amazon. All I could find in the fabric/craft stores around Boston were 15-watt ones. I was happy to see that this seller had the 10-watt bulbs I was looking everywhere for, and I purchased two even though the shipping cost was higher than the cost of two bulbs themselves. However, when I received the light bulbs today, I was extremely disappointed to see that I was sent two 15-watt bulbs. If I wanted 15-watt bulbs, I would've either bought them from an actual store and not have to pay the shipping cost OR I would've purchased a product with the label that actually said "Singer Long-Life 15-watt."
Stuff 4 Scrapbooking, please, in the future, if you are in fact selling 15-watt bulbs, please label your products as such. If you don't carry 10-watt bulbs anymore, then please don't list the item under the pretense that you do in fact carry them. And yes, even though I heard that inserting a 15-watt bulb into a sewing machine that says "10-watt bulb only" or "10W Max" won't really damage the machine, I felt really deceived by the mislabeling and jipped by the shipping cost.
And no, I'm not going to return the items because according to the invoice, I'll be responsible for the return shipping costs, and it's completely not worth it considering the shipping cost is higher than the bulbs themselves.

DeLonghi DC312T 14-Cup Drip Coffeemaker Review

DeLonghi DC312T 14-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For most people, almost any coffeemaker on sale here at Amazon will be fine. But if you're looking for the same kind of robust-flavor, non-bitter coffee served at places like Starbucks, then you need a coffeemaker with special capabilities. This machine has those capabilities--and at an excellent price. Here's what I mean: 1. it has a 14-cup capacity. This is important because it means you can put more grounds into the filter without worrying about it overflowing. 2. Water temperature is hot and delivered though a "showerhead." 3. This machine has a special setting that dribbles the water more slowly, steeping the grounds. This last (and unique to this machine) feature is what gives you exceptionally robust and flavorful coffee.
I've been through several coffeemakers (all exiled to the attic), and this one is the best--better than makers costing three-times as much. I bought mine for $35 at Target.
True, the clock-setting mechanism is clunky, but how often do you use that? On the other hand, the design of the water-tank and glass pot is very convenient.
August 2010 Update: coffeemakes is still going strong. The manufacturer has a new web presence with links for service and parts.

Brew up to 14 cups (70 ounces) of great-tasting coffee with this easy-to-use drip coffeemaker. The unit's showerhead design helps extract coffee's full natural flavor by allowing water to completely saturate all coffee grounds, while its aroma button activates a unique brewing process that enhances the flavor and aroma of coffee. The coffeemaker achieves this full-bodied flavor by saturating the grounds a little at a time using a time-released process that dispenses water into the filter basket in 30-second intervals. It also provides a pause-and-serve function, for pouring a quick cup midbrew, and a 24-hour programmable timer with two-hour automatic shut-off. Setting the timer allows for waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee or for having coffee ready to serve with dessert without having to get up from the table half way through dinner. Other highlights include simple push-button controls, a digital display, an internal water-level indicator, and a durable, easy-to-clean washable nylon filter, as well as a non-stick warming plate and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. A glass carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and drip-free pour spout comes included. The drip coffeemaker measures approximately 12-1/2 by 9-3/4 by 8-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hamilton Beach 43254 Ensemble 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black Review

Hamilton Beach 43254 Ensemble 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Before purchasing the HB 43254 Classic Stainless 12 cup coffee maker I read the reviews like I normally do before making any purchase. I decided to purchase this coffee maker knowing that there may be some minor issues with it - what doesn't these days? After many years of buying coffee makers I have found there is no "perfect" coffee maker that will make everyone happy. You just need to decide what is important to you and your family. That said, after about three weeks of use I found it to be exactly what I was looking for - it makes HOT coffee, the carafe DOESN'T drip and I didn't need to use a manual to set up the clock and timer! If this is what you are looking for stop reading and purchase this unit now. Enjoy the coffee maker...
For those that really need to know more before purchasing continue reading:
- This coffee maker uses basket shaped filters. So you can give your neighbor your unused cone shaped paper filters you may still have.
- The water reservoir does have a rather small opening but it is not too small like some very expensive coffee makers I have seen. Some may find it easier to use a large cup a couple of times to fill the reservoir instead of using the carafe. Either way I never needed to turn the coffee maker sideways to fill the reservoir.
- The water spout does swivel to allow you to install the filter and add coffee. You only need to move it once that is if you fill the water reservoir first. When closing the lid it will move the spout back into the proper position so you don't have to remember to do it yourself.
- I too had a defective carafe that leaked at the top between the plastic rim and glass. I called customer service, waited a few minutes, and spoke to someone in the USA. It was replaced within a few days at no charge. I sealed the original carafe until the replacement arrived.
- I never had an issue with pouring a cup of coffee using the auto pause and serve feature. Besides, how often do you really "need" to have a cup of coffee before it is done brewing? If you are that desperate, set the timer so it is done brewing before you get up in the morning.

With its sleek contemporary styling, this 12-cup coffeemaker not only looks good on the kitchen counter, but it also provides an array of convenient features. The machine's user-friendly control panel and digital display ensure ease of use, while its programmable clock/timer function allows for waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. A glass carafe comes included, complete with a stay-cool handle, measuring marks up the side, and a drip-free pour spout. For sneaking a quick cup of coffee midbrew, simply remove the carafe from the machine to pause the flow of coffee, then replace the carafe to continue the brewing process--a nice feature, particularly for those in a hurry for that first sip. Other highlights include a nonstick hot plate, two-hour automatic shut-off for safety and peace of mind, cord storage, and easy-to-clean removable parts. The matching Ensemble toaster, can opener, and blender can be purchased separately for a coordinated look. In black with stainless-steel accents, the coffeemaker measures approximately 11 by 8 by 14 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Senseo 7810 Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Machine, Black Review

I received the Senseo coffee maker as a birthday gift 2 years ago and use it almost daily. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and hate to waste a full pot of coffee if all I want is one or two cups. Making coffee with a Melitta one-cup filter is just too much work compared to the simplicity of the Senseo coffee maker.
The Senseo coffee maker has a reservoir that is easy to fill, and the pods are very convenient to just drop into the pod holder. Two tips I picked up from a single-serve review web site:
1: Pre-moisten the coffee pod so that the edges seal better to the holder, and
2: Preheat your milk so that the milk doesn't cool the coffee when it pours into your cup. I preheat my milk for 30 seconds in the microwave, easy to do while the water is warming up.
I like being able to make a quick double for my travel mug when I'm running late--much faster than driving to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks and not knowing how long the line will be.
I love to show off my machine for company. I can accommodate everyone, whether they want regular or decaf, mild or strong, etc.
My only wish is that there could be more varieties to choose from. Plus a little hot chocolate would be nice--especially with the foam on top that the machine makes with every cup. K-cups seem to own the market on variety.
Yes, my machine was one of the ones that was recalled. While I had no problem with the old machine, Philips made it very simple by shipping the new machine by FedEx and requesting that the old one be shipped back at their expense in the same packaging. And I was surprised with a pretty white one which replaced the old black one. The white one goes better in my kitchen, a silly thing to obsess about, but I like it.
All in all, the Senseo is quick, easy, fun, and convenient. It's also a lot cheaper than buying on the road.
