Froth Au Lait MINI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had been using the Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother for a few years now, but continued to have issues. We had to replace 2 units because they just stopped working, the milk continued to stick and burn on the bottom of the pot, it was very difficult to clean, and the reservoir size was very small. Our 3rd Aeroccino just died, and this time I was going to research and find a better solution. After digging around the internet, I found that the Froth Au Lait products were very well liked, and didn't have the issues I noted above, but the size of their reservoirs were much larger than the Aeroccino. We normally would make one or two cappuccinos at a time, and we didn't want a larger unit on our counter. Lo and behold we found this just released Froth Au Lait MINI. I had a few questions, so I contacted the manufacturer and was promptly speaking with the owner. She was extremely friendly and helpful, answering all of my questions, and confirmed that the MINI was best suited for our needs. This product made the best milk froth, was easy to clean, did not burn the milk, and the size of the reservoir was perfect for 1 to 4 cappuccinos (just adjust the amount of milk). We may have been the first to buy this product on Amazon, but for sure will not be the last.

FoodSaver T000-08004 V3460 SmartSeal Vacuum-Sealing Appliance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, so I just got this model Foodsaver for Christmas after asking my mother-in-law for one. I told her the brand, but she chose the model. I was excited after receiving it, until I hopped on Amazon and checked the reviews. After seeing all of the negative comments on how people couldn't get this to work correctly and it wasted bags, I was more than a little disappointed to her choice, and wished she would have bought me the older, flat model that seems to be more user friendly from what the reviews seem to state.
Well, after actually opening the box and using this model, I'm telling you now, "Don't believe the whiners and the bad reviews!" This thing works great! It does exactly what it advertises and I've had absolutely no problems! If you actually READ the directions and follow them, the machine will work perfectly!
I had no problems sealing, vacuuming, creating bags, etc. I have noticed you do have to hold the bag tight while pushing it into the machine to engage the automatic vacuuming process. Which, of course, is stated in the directions. I believe that the people who can't get it to work properly haven't read or followed them.
Sure, you do have 3-4 inches of excess bag that needs to be used, but I doubt this will be much of a financial burden. By my calculations, it costs an extra 3 cents a bag this way (based on full suggested retail of the rolls). I guess it could be a big deal if you are freezing a cow a week and going through thousands of bags, but I doubt that it makes any difference for the standard user. Not to mention, the old models still needed some space, as well. Not as much, I grant you, but, taking that into consideration and the price extra per bag drops even further because you are probably actually only using an inch or so extra of bag versus the older machines.
I do think that there can be some improvements made to this model, but it certainly is not the evil machine that some people have made it out to be on here. My recommendation is that if you are afraid of the reviews, make sure you purchase it from a retailer you can return it to if you aren't satisfied. But, if you have an IQ high enough to be left unsupervised in public, I think you'll be able to get this model to work properly!
(In all fairness, I haven't used the canisters at all, so I can't comment on the reviews based on that feature. Also, I probably should have rated this as a 4 star, since there is some room for improvement on this product, but nothing that should inhibit someone from buying it. In reality, I don't think there are too many products in existence that can't be improved somehow, anyways! Bottom line is, this is a MUCH better product than some of the negative reviews on here have made it out to be!)

Equipped with exclusive SmartSeal technology, this powerful vacuum-sealing appliance automatically senses the bag and food type and, with the simple push of a button, vacuums out the air to create a perfect air-tight seal. A useful addition to any busy kitchen, the unit keeps food fresh up to five times longer than plastic wraps and foils, reducing the chance of freezer burn and helping to eliminate wasted food. Use it to freeze pre-made dinners to reheat for meals during the week, to keep left-over salad or pizza slices in the fridge for later, to deep-freeze cuts of meat, and much more. Thoughtfully designed, the unit provides built-in roll storage and a cutter, automatic liquid detection to prevent spills, canister mode, and marinate mode to infuse food with flavor in minutes versus hours, as well as two vacuum speeds, two seal levels, progress lights, and a convenient integrated bag opener. Even more, its crush-free instant seal allows for carefully controlling the amount of air being removed with the option to stop the process at any time--great when vacuum packaging delicate foods like fresh strawberries. Accessories include three quart-size bags, two gallon-size bags, and one 11-inch roll of bag material. Compact enough to leave out on the counter for everyday use, the upright vacuum-sealing appliance measures approximately 6 by 18-8/9 by 10-2/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
