Cuisinart WCH-950 CleanWater 2-Gallon Countertop Water-Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these last week at Bed Bath and Beyond. I didn't even know I needed one until I saw it. As with most Cuisinart products, the design of the unit is quite nice. But aesthetics aren't everything.
To begin with, the directions aren't very clear. I attempted to pre-soak the filter as directed, but it didn't seem to do anything. Also, the initial filtering of the water took a lot longer than the instructions stated. I believe they said it would take about 15 minutes for the water to filter through into the dispenser. Mine took almost an hour. Who knows, maybe I didn't soak the filter properly. But that was just the beginning of my problems.
Once the water was filtered, I switched the device on. It was a lot louder than I thought it would be. Actually, I wasn't expecting much noise at all. The device does quiet down a bit, after it has reached its target temperatures for the hot and cold. But after you dispense some water, it kicks back in again. If you have a large kitchen, the sound of the device might not be a problem for you. After all, it's a small price to pay for instantly available hot and cold filtered water. OK, "instantly" might not be the best choice of words.
To dispense water from either side, you have to press in and hold the appropriate button. The water comes out in a steady stream, but a very thin stream. Which means, it takes a long time just to fill up one cup. Even as a single man, this kind of wait was unbearable. I can't imagine someone with a family using this device. In any case, if you do end up purchasing this device, I wish you luck. I ended up returning mine just a few days after I purchased it.

Hamilton Beach D43012B Commercial BrewStation 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We LOVE this coffee maker. I love that that you can just place your cup underneath without having to handle a carafe. The coffee is always made quickly. For larger coffee mugs or tumblers, we just use our hands to push the button behind the cup to make it work. Not hard to do.
Recently while cleaning The very top lid came off, only held by small plastic pieces to the main part of the coffee maker (hinge of lid). It was still under warranty so we are getting a new coffee maker in the next few days.
Overall, great product. We use it at least 3-4 times a week.

BAR BUTLER ROTATING 6 SHOT BOTTLE LIQUOR DISPENSER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose this one because it was the only one that said that the drinks didn't leak and it was more modestly priced. I certainly got what I paid for... The Bar Butler came with two of it's dispensers broken beyond repair (because if fixed one would leak and the other wouldn't hold the bottle's weight), the pieces were of a cheap plastic... It came halfway assembled but with no instructions to assemble the rest. It looks cheaper than it does in the picture and to make matters even worse I was dumb enough to buy two of them... at least I can make one whole bar butler mixing and matching the pieces from both butlers, to make a whole one that kinda works.

CSF-3 Cat Super Feeder, Stand, New Bowl and Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This feeder is worth every penny. I own two evil-genius cats that collaborate with each other to overcome all of the restrictions I attempt to enforce. I purchased an automatic Bistro feeder about a year ago to isolate ourselves from the feeding process; the cats found a way to extract food from it almost immediately. After months of being annoyed at all hours of the night by our cats attacking the Bistro, I opted for a Super Feeder.
The Super Feeder arrived unassembled with easy to follow instructions. The assembly process took about five minutes and familiarized me with all of the high quality components. I also purchased a "hood cover" to prevent my little devils from stealing food from the machine. The Super Feeder is brilliantly simple. It comes with a high quality power timer that cycles the power on and off at user set intervals. A small hidden dial controls the length for which the machine dispenses food. This analog control allows for an infinite level of feeding precision (unlike the Bistro's huge intervals). The Super Feeder also features a jumper that will restrict the machine from feeding more than once in a (approximate) 45 minute period. This prevents the machine from feeding more than once in the event of a power interruption during a feeding cycle.
The Super Feeder was made for nerds like me. I have mine attached to a network power controller next to my server cabinet. I wrote several UNIX shell and expect scripts to control the feeding behavior. The cats are fed at every even hour of the day (12 times a day). This prevents the cats from getting too excited when food is dispensed and prevents overeating and eating too quickly. I also authored a password protected website that allows me to feed the cats from anywhere in the universe with the click of a button, as well as capturing a photographic image of the cats eating so I know that they are safe and that the feeder is working correctly. Every time the cats are fed I receive a page to my telephone showing me the output of the scripts to verify that everything is working correctly.
I've had the feeder for a while now and it has proved to be smarter than my mischievous cats. The machine operates quietly, reliably, and consistently. It has never jammed, failed to feed properly, or under/overfed. Support for this product is also wonderful. When I purchased the additional 1.8 gallon food hopper I received answers to my emails within 10 minutes of sending them after 10pm PST. Do yourself a favor, buy this.

New!This new and even better than ever multi-mount custom Super Feeder® now features a special dishwasher-safe bowl made with a special high-grade kitchenware material known as "AS" by Kibisan® and especially designed to split and spread kibbles for better food access to pets.It also features a new quality Super Feeder® analog timer with red LED light indicator when the timer is on, and very easy to program tiny pins used to trigger the feeder up to 48 times per day. The previous mounting bracket has been replaced with a new more attractive black power coated bracket to attach the feeder to the already proven and compact heavy-duty black ABS base and tower. The Super Feeder® could also be used with a home automation system and/or web based system. It is compact and holds 4 and 3/4 cups of food (slightly over a quart by volume). Its capacity can be increased later with extra stackable 2-cup clear extensions or 1.5 gallon hoppers available from Super-Feed®. If you have a really aggressive "locksmith" cat when it comes to trying to get to the food, an optional chute cover (protective device) is available installed on ASIN B00428TOBC or direct from Super-Feed®. If needed, small 1/4" round kibbles are recommended with the chute cover. You can trigger multiple feeders at a time with one timer! Not only is it extremely dependable, versatile and easy to operate, but it comes with personalized customer support. It only needs minor assembly with a screwdriver. Proudly made in USA, try one, you'll love it as many other pet owners do! Its compact size mounted is 10" x 11" x 15" tall and is normally placed backed up to a wall, cabinet or across a corner wall. Most importantly, compared to others, it could also be mounted to a wall or your very own mount using a piece of lumber instead of supplied short stand for that smart and highly mischievous cat! Do not install this feeder with stand outdoors. The stand set up is for indoor use only.

iTouchless Towel-Matic Automatic Sensor Paper Towel Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Things that are bad about this product:
1. It's hard to tear the towels. It requires you to tear the towels from bottom up...very awkward...especially if you have dishes and plates on the table.
2. The gripper is not strong enough resulting in you pulling out more towels and snagging the towels in the gripper. You then have to manually fix it. This happens alot.
3. Takes a long time for a sheet to come out. First, the unit retracts the paper, then it slides it out out sheet. Often, it doesn't measure it right and you have to manually fix it. Defeats the purpose of this unit which is to save you work.
4. The hand sensor is wacky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I end up feeling foolishing waving my hand all over the places trying to get it to see me.
Overall, this is a waste of money and time. I'm definitely sending this one back.

Bar Boy 6 Bottle Alcohol Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have two of these, a 6 bottle and a 4 bottle, and they are fantastic. Easy to set up, easy to clean, and while there is a little bit of skill to using them - once you have it down that's easy too!
The *only* downside that I ran into is that it can only handle tall skinny bottles - so things like Patron have to be decanted.

Hamilton Beach 48275 Brew Station 6-Cup Coffeemaker, Black/Gray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the hot pink version, #48271, from the after school clearance aisle for $11. Most of the comments about this style of Hamilton Beach Brewmaster (regardless of the model #) are right on.
the pros:
+It makes 2 travel mugs of coffee.
+The coffee is hot and delicious!
+It was worth the $11 sale price.
+Easy to program.
+Small footprint and it looks good.
+No carafe!
+No drips.
+The hot pink color will become a conversation starter!Where to start. I think the industrial designers and approver of this thing should be fired. They obviously never used a kitchen or had to clean up after themselves!
the cons:
-This thing is MESSY!!
-Condensation on the lid. The tracks under the lid should guide the moisure into the hopper, but the lid gets so wet that the moisture overwhelms the ability of the design to do its job. Thus, water gets all over the counter. Opening this lid hours after brewing or over the sink helps somewhat with the moisture problem.
-This thing is ridiculously tall when the lid is open.
-The coffee basket isn't deep enough to hold the standard available basket filter that it calls for. I have yet to find the small 4-8 cups size that should fit. I shouldn't have to special order something like that.
-Due to the filter size, you have to remember to move the water arm over the grinds or it knocks the side of the filter over when you close the lid.
-The water comes out with such force that the grounds get on the inside of the lid.
-The basket holder and hopper have weird clunky shapes with nooks and crannies and bumps that need to be rinsed out daily, resulting in water splashed everywhere.
-You have to be accurate when pouring the water into the boiler. The directions say to use the hopper, but its large square shape makes it easier to miss. I use my Britta as it pours where I need it to.
Whatever. I'm done complaining about this coffee maker. I'm just glad I got it on sale and don't have to use the thing on a desk in a dorm room! Its two saving graces are that it does make a really good cuppa joe, and hot pink is one of my favorite colors.

Hamilton Beach 47454 BrewStation Deluxe 12-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this coffee maker today, after months of reading, looking around, and pondering whether ot not it was going to be worth the money. I've always loved the look of it, especially the cool blue glowing display, but would it work as great as it looks? Well, as I sit here enjoying my first cup of perfect hazlenut coffee, I can say that so far, it's wonderful!
Getting it all set up was very easy, but a bit time consuming, since you have to let it cycle through about 3 or 4 times total to clean and rinse, but well worth it! Once cleaned, I decided to give it a try and brewed a 4 cup pot of coffee. When it was done, I dispensed it into my mug with no messy dripping and am enjoying the first half of it now. I will let the other half sit to see if it will taste just as good at the end of the 4 hrs. The coffee I'm drinking now is great. No bitterness, not too strong or too bland, and the perfect temperature.
Overall, I think this is a great machine and would highly recommend it!
*UPDATE*
So, I've been using this coffee maker for a few weeks now and everything is still great! But, I wanted to throw a couple of things out there for anyone comtemplating their purchase. My only real complaint is that there's no audible signal to let you know that the coffee's done or that the 4 hour warming period is over. I know it's not a necesity, but my Mr. Coffee had this feature and I really liked it. Guess I'm just spoiled! Also, here's a tip. The instructions say that using a paper filter along with the gold filter is optional. However, I've found that if you don't use a paper filter, any very fine or powdery grounds will get through and end up in your mug. This happened the first couple of times I used it, but a paper filter easily solved the problem. If you're thinking about buying this unit, just do it! I love mine!

You have full control of how much batter to dispense, and the best part was that the bottom didn't even get messy like I expected! As soon as you let go of the handle, it stops everything, not even an extra drop. It was the fastest and cleanest I've ever made cupcakes in my life. And very easy to clean too! I couldn't think of one bad thing to say about this product. I'm so impressed.

Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased to replace our Brewstation Deluxe, which we absolutely loved! The only reason we did not purchase another one exactly like our old one is because of the leaking problem. About 1x/year we would need to replace the 'carafe' portion of the coffeemaker. The Summit was the 3rd replacement model we tried. It is the only other model that has all of the features that the Deluxe had (programmable auto shut-off & timer, brewing cycle selection). I agree with the previous post that it is a bit more awkward to fill. But, the biggest problem I have with it is the coffee basket. It has about 50 holes in the bottom for the water/coffee to flow out of the basket. The result is a very weak-tasting coffee because it flows through so quickly. I can't understand why this model is made like this when other models have only one hole! There is no way to even use enough coffee to get a strong flavor, even when putting it on 'Bold' setting, which slows down the brewing cycle. I figured out how to solve this problem by purchasing a permanent filter basket to use inside the other basket, plus using a paper filter. This adds to the awkwardness of the whole process, but we are so hooked on this style of machine that are willing to put up with it. It is also messier than the Deluxe because of all of the condensation inside. When you lift the lid water runs down (but mostly back into the carafe), and when you take out the basket there is condensation all over it and it drips trying to get it to the trash or sink. I also just noticed one of the buttons to set the time is sticking. Well, maybe I should go back to the Deluxe...

Uniquely designed without a coffee pot, this 12-cup coffeemaker features, instead, an insulated tank that keeps coffee hot and fresh inside. To serve, simply depress the non-slip dispensing bar with any favorite mug for one-handed dispensing--no carafe means no pouring, no spills, and no hotplate that can sometimes scorch coffee or make it bitter. The appliance also provides a user-friendly push-button control panel. Choose from several brewing options including bold, regular, iced coffee, or small batch (1 to 4 cups). Even more, the unit's programmable clock and timer allow for brewing "wake-up" coffee, while its keep-warm mode can be programmed to automatically shut off immediately after brewing (for iced coffee) or in one, two, three, or four hours as desired. Other highlights include a large digital display with blue backlighting, a removable water tank for filling at the sink, a water-level indicator on both sides, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Housed in sleek black plastic with stainless-steel accents, the coffeemaker measures approximately 12 by 9 by 17 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hamilton Beach 48465 Brewstation Summit Ultra 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Good
Intuitive controls. Clock, timer, etc. are super-easy to figure out; we did not need the instructions to get it set up. The display is bright and can double as a nightlight. Somewhat attractive design. Makes good coffee. Also makes iced coffee if you like.
The Bad
Feels like there are too many parts to disassemble/reassemble to make coffee. The black plastic exterior has numerous dimples, seam lines, and other irregularities (poor fit & finish) that take away from the otherwise attractive appearance. Difficult to tell how much coffee is left once it drops below 2 cups.
The Ugly
Spills and messes. Lifting the lid to dump the old filter causes the built-up moisture to drip down the back of the coffeemaker. Thick mugs and thermoses are difficult to fill without coffee spilling down the side and all over the counter. In my opinion, they did not place the spout out far enough from the release bar. You can get better results if you tip your mug or thermos inward, but some of the thicker ones will never fill without making a mess.
In summary, it is a decent coffeemaker. I had read the reviews before purchasing it and had determined this was not one of the models I wanted. However, the model I had gone to the store to purchase was not available (nor was it available on amazon.com), and seeing as our old faithful coffeemaker had died that morning, I couldn't leave without something to replace it. Unfortunately, my memory was not great and I couldn't remember if this particular model was a good option or not (if I had remembered the reviews, I wouldn't have purchased this model). Despite its shortcomings, we've decided to keep it, but if I had a chance to do it again, I would not choose this one.
