Samsung WF410ANW 4.3 cu. Ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Easy to use. Quiet. Self balances itself. Uses lots less water. Great chimes when loads are done. Many settings you can adjust low to high spin or extra spin, pre wash etc. Does take longer to wash but has a quick cycle if you are in a hurry. I bought also the matching dryer with steam and it is also awesome.

American Weigh Signature Series Black AWS-100 Digital Pocket Scale, 100 by 0.01 G Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This scale is a great value for the .01 gram precision it offers. Once calibrated it is quite sensitive and accurate. Mine came quite far from calibrated, but based on the other reviews here it appears this is only a fluke. The scale is lightweight and very portable, being roughly the same size as a Nintendo DS Lite. Build quality is good; it looks like it will last a long time if used properly and carefully. Comes with two AAA batteries and a space for storing a pair of extras. Very nice scale for the price.
One hint about calibration: if you forget to buy the 100g calibration weight, you can simply use 20 U.S. nickels, as each nickel is exactly 5g.

Maytag Performance Series MHWE450WW 27 4.5 cu. Ft. Front-Load Washer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jan 18, 2011: This is THE BEST washer I've ever had or used! I LOVE it and can't say enough good about it. I bought it in Nov 2010 so I've had it about 2 months and I do 2 or 3 loads a day with a family of 5. I researched a lot. I subscribed to Consumer Reports to research even more. The bottom line was that the best washers according to user reviews were this Maytag MHWE450WW and the Samsung. I really wanted to support our U.S. economy and buy American...even though this washer is made in Germany. The dryer is made in Ohio. Maytag was not good several years ago but they recognized that and revamped their company and are now making commercial grade appliances built to last, like they used to be in our parents' day. This washer is built to last and truly is commercial grade. I went from a top loader to this front loader, and in my hours and hours and hours of reading reviews on every website I could find, I saw that people going from a top loader to front loader that uses less water, had a very hard time believing that the front loader could really wash their clothes clean because they saw through the window that the clothes were not swimming in water. I can tell you to not let that keep you from going front loader efficient because it gets my clothes cleaner than my old top loader. I also ready lots of people talking about how front loaders get stinky because they get moldy because the door is so airtight. Well I haven't had one bit of a problem with that because I always open the washer door and detergent door after clothes are finished washing and leave them open. Duh. How hard is that? I've left clothes in it overnight and then opened the door in the morning before dashing off to work and when I get home, the clothes are still fresh as a flower and no mold or mildew. The people who have written about that must keep the door closed so it is wet in there all the time and molds. Again, I have no problem with that whatsoever. I love the "sanitary" wash, the "power" wash, and the "whitest whites" wash. I love the way I can wash a king size blanket, king mattress cover, king sheets and pillowcases all in one load and they come out fresh and clean. I wash pillows and quilts and they come out great. I can wash 10 pair of men's jeans easily. Not having the agitator in the way makes you have so much more room for clothes. I love the way it has a heater that keeps the water hot for sanitizing and whitest whites. I love the way it spins clothes so "jet engine" fast that they are pretty much dry when the washer is done. My kids and husband and I like to watch it still because it's amazing. The dryer is great too and has a steam feature. I use way, way less detergent, which is saving money. I haven't checked my water and sewer bill but it's got to be less. And my dryer runs for a much shorter time. I have 2 teenage daughters and it has been their job to do laundry for many years, but now I find myself running in there to do laundry because it's actually fun. I know that sounds like a lie but it's not. Every time I do laundry, I come out saying, "I love my new washer and dryer". And I'm thankful to the Good Lord that I was able to buy them.

NewAir AI-100S Portable Ice Maker In Silver With Fast 6 to 15 Minute Operating Cycle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've been using the ice maker for a few weeks now, and overall it works very well. Take note of it's size (roughly 12"w x 14"d x 15" h) if you're planning on using it as a counter-top unit -- it's compact but not tiny. It is also louder than expected when the compressor cycles on (a humming / buzzing sound roughly as loud as a person talking), but thankfully this only lasts a few minutes every half-hour or so, so it's not a huge deal. It makes ice in three different sizes, and the ice is good and clear (after an initial cleaning step, see below). It works quickly, making ice within 15 minutes of turn-on and constantly replenishing the supply as it slowly melts in the ice collection bucket if you don't use the ice; as you use up the ice, you simply refill the water supply.
Two other minor negatives: first, the manufacturer uses super-adhesive blue tape to immobilize parts inside the unit during shipment. It is impossible to get rid of the sticky residue the tape leaves behind once removed, although it doesn't seem to affect the taste of the ice or anything. A less adhesive tape, such as a masking tape, would probably serve the same purpose without leaving a residue, however. Just a minor complaint. The other thing is that the unit had an extremely strong, very unpleasant smell initially. It smelled like plastic / rubber, and this smell transferred to the ice, which made using the ice disagreeable and probably inadvisable. Their support staff were helpful, however, and suggested running the machine through a couple of cycles with a mix of water and vinegar. This was a great idea and got rid of the smell almost entirely. The ice now smells and tastes perfect -- that is, it is odorless and tasteless, as ice should be!

Cuisinart 1 1/2 Quart Ice Cream Maker Freezer Bowl - For use with the Cuisinart Mix It In Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker ICE-45 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great freezer bowl for making soft serve! I bought an extra one because the key is that you just have to have it in the freezer for at least 24 hours to make sure it is totally frozen. It does not retain its coldness to make a second batch, and it isn't supposed to. It is fun being able to make soft serve ice cream at home.

Mr. Coffee 6659 4 Cup Permanent Filter, (Filter does not include handle.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having purchased a Mr. Coffee 4-cup coffeemaker, I wasn't looking forward to buying packs of disposable filters. (My local grocery store doesn't even carry that small size!) I also don't like the waste of single-use filters. So, I was pleased to find this permanent filter. I've been using it for several months now, and my coffee always comes out just fine. The filter is easy to clean and, other than washing it after each use, there is no maintenance involved. Using this filter over time, you'll make up the cost of buying disposable ones, and you'll have that much less to toss in the garbage each time you brew a cuppa joe.

Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing rocks for shredding cheese! My family doesn't like the pre-shredded stuff, and loves to just grab handfuls of freshly shredded cheddar cheese to munch on. However, normally shredding cheese involved grating your knuckles in the process, and a lot of arm muscle. Enter, the Salad Shooter!
I purchased my Salad Shooter last November. I buy 2 lb bricks of Tillamook cheese, and cut them into 5 pieces so they'll fit into the chute. This is the most time consuming part of shredding cheese for me now, and it doesn't take that long! Then, I shred the cut sections of cheese. Yes, the Salad Shooter is loud, but it only takes me seconds to shred 2 pounds of cheese. So, I don't mind the noise.
Clean up is easy. A quick rinse to get the bigger bits of stuck cheese off (not sure if this is even necessary, but I do it anyway), and then everything goes in the dishwasher, except for the motor bit, and that only rarely needs a quick wipe with a paper towel. I love it.
I've probably shredded about 30 pounds of cheese with my Salad Shooter, and it's still going strong. For every family gathering, I volunteer to bring the shredded cheese.... it's just so much easier for me to do it.
*Update: October 6, 2008* I've probably shredded well over 60 lbs of cheese now with my Salad Shooter, and it still looks brand new. Since I wash everything in the dishwasher, I kept expecting rust spots to show up on the metal grating part, but there's no rust to be found. I'm very pleased!
**2nd update: July 2010** Still going strong.... I don't even want to guess how many pounds of cheese I've shredded with this Salad Shooter! :) Shredding blade cone had a hairline crack in the plastic part of it for several months but I kept using it, and now there's a bigger crack near it. Ordered a replacement cone directly from Presto this month, arrived in 4 days. I have a habit of pushing hard on the cheddar cheese in the chute, so I think that put a lot of stress on the shredding cone. 2 and a half years for that first shredding cone isn't bad, though, seeing what I put it through!

Portable Countertop Ice Maker - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this product for 7 months. I've used it regularly & had absolutely no problems at all with it. Except for the initial start up (which only lasts a couple of minutes) it runs quietly. It makes ice fast, the first batch is usually ready within 5-10 minutes and each successive batch takes about 4-6 minutes on medium sized cubes.
I use the medium sized cube setting, though there isn't a lot of difference between the 3 sizes. The ice will be wet because this is an ice maker, not a freezer. This isn't a problem if you are going to use the ice right away. It comes with a handy little scoop too. If you want to store the ice for later use, you will need to freeze it before adding it to an ice dispenser. I just pour the ice into gallon sized zipper freezer bags & stash them away. It's simple to separate the cubes after they've hardened up a bit. I usually pour them into the ice dispenser in my refrigerator freezer at that point.
I bought this ice maker because we have a big family & lots of guests and our ice maker in the refrigerator freezer has trouble keeping up with demand. This is the perfect solution. You can make ice quickly as needed or make it & store it ahead of time.
We keep it out on the counter all the time. Most people think it's a bread maker. I have found it to be quick, quiet & dependable. I'm very satisfied with it. For the money spent on it (less than $200 including shipping) I consider it one of the best appliance investments I've ever made.

NewAir AI-100BK Portable Icemaker In Black With Indicator Lights Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this to go with my Mr. Coffee BVMC-FM1 20-Ounce Frappe Maker, since I was using so much ice.
The best way to use this is to turn it on when you need to make ice, unless you are going to need a lot in a hurry - then you can freeze the cubes ahead of time.
1) How much ice does it make?
Well, each time it makes a batch, it makes between one and two cups ... that's every 6-10 minutes. So in an hour, it will make 6-10 cups of ice.
2) How much ice does it hold?
I was able to empty 2 trays into a gallon freezer bag (barely), so I'd say that it holds about 1/2 gallon of ice before it automatically shuts off.
3) Do you need to keep it turned on?
You can, but you don't have to. Put the ice you've made into your freezer and turn it off. When you aren't going to use it for awhile, you drain any extra water out so that you can be sure your water to make the ice is fresh and healthy.
4) Will it keep ice frozen?
Actually, Yes. I don't know for how long, but the sides seem stay cool, and it is well insulated, so the ice I made the night before was "still" ice in the morning. The ice sits in a basket over the water supply, so if there is any melting, it drips down and is remade into ice again. I suggest for long-term use, that you simply remove the ice and place it in your freezer.
5) Do you need anything special?
No. You take it out of the box, wash the parts, add water, and turn it on. I'm using purified water, but that's for flavor, NOT because it's required. And, just a "green" note - for the environment and to keep a little green in your pocket - don't buy bottled water for this - it's a lot cheaper (and no bottles to recycle) if you use a purifier or purifying pitcher.
6) Is it noisy?
You can hear the ice cubes clink into the basket every few minutes while it is running. They freeze around little poles, so the only sound is that of water dripping and a small fan which removes the heat (kind of like the one on a refrigerator).
It's a nice solution for those of us who don't have an ice maker in our freezer and who don't have the patience to keep filling those little ice trays to make enough ice!
***Updated June 28 I have noted that with our recent heat wave, that the ice does melt, however, as I mentioned above, it simply melts into the bottom and then the machine remakes the ice. Not only am I using it for my frappes, but I also found it awesome when I froze four gallons of ice for a large event where I knew I'd need more ice on hand.

Nespresso C100-US-AERO Essenza Automatic Single-Serve Espresso Machine with Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was initially reluctant to buy this based on the fact that they use proprietary pods. Had that reluctance stuck with me, I probably would've spent a few hundred more on a high-quality manual espresso machine, or over a thousand on an automatic machine. $.52 a cup is reasonable when you consider that grinding your own works out to about $.30 a cup, but yields a greater mess and requires more soap and water for cleanup each time. With two little kids at home - who has time to clean? I was absolutely giddy the first time I used both the machine and the frother. Separately and together, both machines match or rival what all too many of us pay $3-5 for from the local coffee shop. I'm convinced that our friends will like us more if we decide to share some of this with them. I bought this at Williams-Sonoma based on loyalty as I had sampled it 3 times over a two week period and finally couldn't take it anymore. I had to have one! Consumer reports also ranks this machine highest in its class. The only machine that offered comparable taste was larger, cost about a grand, and requires more cleaning.

With its unique extraction system designed specifically for coffee-filled capsules, this single-serve automatic espresso machine prepares a perfect cup of espresso every time. The unit perforates the hermetically sealed capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee, while its high-pressure 19-bar pump fully extracts the aromas and gives body to the espresso, ensuring a smooth crema--the delicious creamy layer on top. In addition, the machine's ThermoBlock heating system heats water to an ideal extraction temperature, and the amount of coffee in the cup can be controlled automatically or programmed in (40 ml for espresso; 110 ml for lungo) with simple coffee-volume buttons. Used capsules eject automatically into the used-capsule collection container (14-capsule capacity) upon lifting the lever on top of the unit.
A Nespresso Aeroccino one-touch milk frother with automatic shut-off comes included for frothing 4-2/5 ounces of milk or for heating up to 8-1/2 ounces of milk--great for macchiatos, cappuccinos, or cafe lattes. Simply add milk, replace the lid, and press the button for milk froth in about 50 seconds or hot milk in about 80 seconds. Dosage indicators inside the jug make it easy to measure for milk froth or hot milk, while a stay-cool handle, drip-free spout, and cordless design (lifts off its power base) ensure graceful pouring into a cup. The espresso machine only uses capsules, not any other ground espresso, but Nespresso provides a range of premium coffee blends, including decaffeinated. An assortment of 12 capsules comes included. Other highlights include a backlit on/off button, electronic temperature regulation, a drip tray, and a removable 41-ounce water tank. Compactly designed in sleek, modern housing, the 1200-watt espresso machine measures 11-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 10 inches; the milk frother measures 4 by 4 by 6-2/3 inches (not including the handle).
