Bella Cucina 13469 Popcorn Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this popcorn maker recently from a neighborhood store for half the price it sells here. I love popcorn and wanted a healthy method for producing it. Years ago I owned another machine by a different manufacturer that also made "air popped" corn. I got rid of that one because it left one quarter of the kernels "unpopped". This machine by Bella Cucina is even worse. It leaves "one half" of the kernels unpopped! I followed all of the instructions in the manual, pushed the on button and within about 60 seconds the popping begins and goes along pretty fast. At the end of the process the bowl did not seem to be filled that much and it turned out that the bottom of the bowl was covered with unpopped kernels. Too expensive to make popcorn this way and the item is useless to me. I do NOT recommend it. I'm only glad I did not pay full price.

Kuhn Rikon Frosting Deco Pen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Only the Swiss could come up with this technology. I have difficulty squeezing a bag while trying to write or decorate, so this is a fantastic solution. Not only does it do a great job, but it is also fun to use, especially with the versatility of multiple tubes that provide for different colors of frosting. I do advise that the decorating frosting be somewhat thicker than the frosting for the cake. Sincerely recommend this appliance.

Sunbeam FPSBPP7051-000 Hot Air Popcorn Maker, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a replacement for my old Orville Redenbacher popper and bought this one since the price was good. Big mistake. Not all the kernels popped and it blew the unpopped kernels all over the kitchen counter top. Plus the popped ones got stuck in the top part of the device and I had to turn it over to get the half of the kernels that did pop to fall in the bowl. Doesn't Sunbeam have any quality control? I am going back to Orville Redenbacher.

Prepare up to 18 cups of hot, crispy popcorn at a time - and in less than five minutes - with this convenient Sunbeam hot-air popcorn maker. Simply add a scoop of regular or gourmet popping kernels to the machine, place a large serving bowl (not included) under the spout, and flip the switch to "on". The unit leaves behind virtually no un-popped kernels, and its angled chute effectively directs popped corn into the serving bowl. Because it works with hot air instead of oil, the popper makes it easy to create a healthy, low-fat snack. Enjoy the popped corn plain, with salt and melted butter, or get creative with a wide range of favorite toppings including, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or parmesan cheese. The unit's measuring cup, which sits in the lid, also works well for naturally melting butter or margarine for drizzling over the popped corn. Other highlights include a transparent lid for safe viewing and removable parts for quick cleanup.

Arnold OEM-390-679 Snow Drift Cutter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These do what they are meant to do. These help in high drift situations where your snow blower might usually just cut under a large drift. These help knock down the drift above the blower. Extremely easy to install, four carriage type bolts with nuts and lock washers. the only thing I would have preferred is if they were just nylock nuts instead of having a lock washer with it.

Emerson Portable Ice Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this at Target a few weeks back after I noticed it was on sale for 109.00. Been wanting one for a long time, but didnt really want to spend 200+ on one. So far so good, Small, pumps out ice quickly, we use Ice in everything we drink, so it keeps right up with us. I would have given this 5 stars but the only issue I have with this, is that its very noisy. When the tray lifts up to drop the ice into the basket the elevation noise is quite loud. but have gotten used to it I think :0.. Friends of ours have several different brands of these ranging in high and low pricing, and for the money, they are all the same.. I would recommend this product without a doubt.

SodaStream Soda Maker Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This soda maker is easy to use and convenient. We've had it for several weeks and have no complaints. Unloading the groceries from the car is so much easier now that we're not hauling cans of seltzer. The machine takes up very little counter space. The seltzer it makes has just the right amount of bubbles and tastes great plain. If I'm in the mood for a little flavor, I add some pure lime juice from a bottle that I keep handy in the door of the fridge, or I add other fruit juices. The soda keeps bubbly in the bottle but if someone leaves the cap off, no big deal, you can always top it off and put it back in the machine.
I estimate we've made at least 25 bottles of seltzer and we haven't used up a CO2 canister, so I'm not sure how long they last. Our local hardware store sells the refills, so it's convenient.
The only minor thing that went wrong was that the decorative faux stainless steel cover on the cap of one of the bottles fell off. It's actually easier to screw on and off now, though.

Cricut 7-Piece Tool Kit for Cricut Cutting Machines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this as a Christmas present. I read the reviews on here and I couldn't decide if this was something I really wanted but left it on my Christmas list. Someone grabbed it for me and I couldn't be happier with it! Honestly I think it depends on the cartridges and the size of your cut outs that you use as to whether you will get use out of this. I use it a lot with puppy pals. The tools help with getting the scrap paper off the mat from the intricate cut outs. I will say I haven't used all of the tools yet and probably won't I think it would benefit cricut to make them more available individually then in a set. Otherwise, I would recommend these tools for anyone doing intricate cutting.
Update: 05/02/08 Since I wrote this review I have accumulated about 11 carts. And I still stand by this review. My fave tool is still the spatchula which you have to purchase separately. I use the other tools a lot with Accent Essentials, and Home Accents oo also Jasmine. For small cuts these tools work like a champ! My only complaint is a general complaint about Cricut. Cricut thinks their products are gold. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my bug and I use it regularly. But I think their products are way over priced.. So I would look to buy this when its on sale.. That's when its a real deal.
