Progressive International GMMC-68 Microwavable S'Mores Maker Review

I ordered this for my three kids. We love roasting smores on a campfire but do not get to do that too often. When I saw the low Amazon price, I had my doubts. I was still so excited to try this out. It came in and the kids and I tried it for dessert. It was just as easy as promised. It took only 30 seconds to cook the marshmallows evenly and perfectly. The chocolate doesn't really start melting until you take it out of the microwave which is good. It is less messy that way.
I could not recommend this enough. We use ours very regularly. I have already bought three more as Christmas gifts. Wonderful, simple, inexpensive. What more could you ask for? Go get your own!!

Enjoy delicious s'mores indoors with this easy-to-use contraption--no need to wait until summertime camping trips or gathering with friends around a bonfire at the beach. The nostalgia created with these sweet treats can now be savored any time of year and from the convenience of home. Simply fill the reservoir with water, assemble one or two s'mores on the tray by stacking a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow in between two graham-cracker squares, lower the arms to hold in place, and microwave for up to 30 seconds. The heated water allows the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to heat evenly, while the arms prevent the marshmallows from over expanding and overcooking, giving the chocolate time to melt. Be careful when removing the s'more maker from the microwave as the water is hot and can spill. The innovative unit creates consistently perfect s'mores--crisp graham crackers neatly holding together soft marshmallow and melted chocolate. A fun addition to sleep overs or birthday parties, the s'more maker measures approximately 7-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 4 inches and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Black & Decker EK700 9-Inch Electric Carving Knife, White Review

Perhaps the first reviewer had a defective knife because I can only give this inexpensive little knife the very highest recommendation. Initially, I had purchased a very (in my opinion) expensive electric knife ($65) which lasted all of, what? Two months? Yup, two months. Since I couldn't really afford to drop that kind of cash so soon again on an electric knife I got the Black & Decker EK700, not expecting it to last for very long because on average I bake at least a dozen loaves of bread a week, half of which are heavy wheat or rye breads.
As of today, February 28, 2008, I'm editing this review to make this comment: I used this knife for about a year before I posted my original review and it is STILL WORKING! Honestly, how can you beat that? I am really amazed at how sturdy it is. With the use I put it through I would have expected it to last no more than six months. But after all this time, with steady, hard use, it's running almost as well as the day I bought it. Great knife, unbelievably sturdy, easy to clean -- frankly, I can't think of anything bad to say about it. Highly recommended.

Ideal for holiday entertaining, everyday dinners, barbecues, and more, this sleek electric carving knife offers simplicity and ease of use unmatched by traditional manual knives. The unit features a 7-inch serrated stainless-steel blade that effortlessly portions everything from turkey and roast beef to ham, venison, and other meats to desired thickness--from thin deli slices to mouthwatering, juicy cuts. Alternately, use the industrious knife to slice quickly through hard cheeses, create uniform slices of freshly baked bread, or slice effortlessly through hard-shelled watermelon and gourds. Its nonslip handle affords unparalleled comfort and security, while its safety lock prevents potential injury caused by accidental starts. Additional highlights include a flush-cut blade design, nonslip tabs for easy blade removal and quick cleanup, and a compact design that stashes neatly in a drawer when not in use. The electric carving knife measures approximately 12-2/5 by 2-4/5 by 3-1/5 inches.

Euro-Pro Dressmaker 998B Sewing Center Review

I tested this machine for a small needlework shop to see if it were worth keeping around for emergencies and odd jobs.
Although the description claims that this little machine takes the "intimidation" out of sewing, it's really a fussy little gadget that best serves experienced stitchers in emergency situations or while travelling. To expect that a neophyte would be able to know how to adjust tension and manipulate fabric is to invite verbal abuse from those who don't know what they're doing.
One of the main flaws of this machine is not necessarily its mechanics (it's far noisier than a regular machine), but its accessories; it's shipped with a pack of bobbins and spools pre-wound with the worst thread imaginable: cheap, fuzzy, short-fiber spun polyester. Not only will spun polyester thread cause expensive machines to choke, but in this machine, it's a recipe for the disasters of tangling thread, throat plate jams and damaged needles.
The needles it's shipped with -- inferior metal, semi-ball point -- will only handle plain-woven midweight cotton fabric. If you attempt to stitch on stretch or knit fabric, be prepared for skipped stitches and jamming, unless you purchase ballpoint needles and long staple polyester thread. Woven fabrics are best stitched with sharp-point or universal point needles.
I was disappointed that I couldn't find a way to adjust stitch length, even though I've operated dozens of domestic, commercial, and industrial sewing machines. The "speed control" buttons are practically useless, and do not control the feed dogs. There is no reverse stitch control to form backstitching at the beginning and end of a seam.
I found the size of the power pedal small enough to hold between the knees (to keep it from "creeping").
When the proper thread and needles are used for the project (and again, a complete beginner would have no idea about using undamaged points or when to choose long staple poly or cotton) this machine stitches well enough for quick seams and hems.
If you're looking for a "first" sewing machine, buy one in the $80 - $140 range from a shop where the staff are willing to help you learn to sew. The Euro-Pro Dressmaker 998B is NOT for raw beginners without an experienced sewing buddy, but for experienced or casual stitchers who use the proper thread & needles for small projects or emergency repairs.

Shark by Euro-Pro Sewing Machine Remanufactured 998A Review

This is an amazing little machine. The price was incredibly low. It really works and sews an excellent seam. My only complaint is that the light didn't work or it would have gotten 5 stars. The reviews I read indicated that the light didn't help much, so maybe I'm not missing too much. I bought it for my granddaughter (6 years old) so she could sew while I use my big machine, but plan to use it for minor seam mending instead of pulling out my big machine.
