Rival 8804-BL 4-Quart Oval Ice Cream Bucket, Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works as advertised, makes fine ice cream. Instructions are brief and clear. Well-made for the price. About the size of a small wastebasket, fits easily into one side of a double sink. I think the size is an excellent compromise between the countertop units and the big churns.
The can is thin deep-drawn aluminum with no seams at the bottom to trap salt (like a soda can, but not nearly that thin). People have complained of it getting pinholes from corrosion during storage, but I think this must be from forgetting to rinse all salt from the bucket, or not drying can or bucket thoroughly. I would recommend storing the can upside down in the bucket so that any possible moisture/corrosion will be at the rim where it will do little harm, but the can will still be protected from dents.
The motor is silent but the gear train is noisy, because it's all spur gears. All gears but the final one are die-cast zinc, and the final looks like filled nylon or acetal. Gears and shafts are greased with white grease. I believe they should hold up nicely in home use. Motor is fan-cooled and has a self-resetting overheat protector.
All in all a good, lightweight but honest product that should last well if you get all the salt and moisture off after use.

Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have only used this nut chopper a few times, and only on walnuts which are fairly soft nuts. It has never been dropped. It is already cracked, chunks of the plastic are starting to fall away. It is only a matter of a few more sessions before it is useless.

Nostalgia Electrics CKM-100 Electric Cupcake Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, to the reviewer who didn't know it was a mini cupcake machine - did you look at the pictures before purchasing? Oh well.
I don't understand why people are rating this so negative! I received one for Christmas from a family friend and have had no troubles with it. I wiped it down as instructed before using, sprayed a little Pam for baking on it, added the batter and BOOM! wonderful mini banana nut muffins my first go around. I thought it was too good to be true so I made another batch with chocolate chips - the nonstick was awesome! No residual chocolate left in the little molds and they came out perfectly.
I haven't heard or read anything negative about them until I came across it here. Like with all electronics such as this there runs a risk of overheating and electrical issues ( I had one with a foreman grill and yet they're still huge sellers) but I haven't read too much about this machine. I had it plugged in for a good 2 hours and no problems at all. I would recommend this to everyone.
