VitaClay VF7700-6 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker

SUPERB PRODUCT!!!
The real reason I have nothing negative to write about this Rice and Slow Cooker is because I had no expectations that it would be the same as the other non-stick surface rice cookers and slow cookers.

I expected it to - be different - cook differently - and I expected it to - contribute to my general health. IT HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED ME! I use it daily. I have cooked brown rice, white rice, wild rice mix, oatmeal, beef stew, lamb stew, chicken fricassee, split pea soup, lentil soup, black beans, ....... the list is just too long.

I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED with this ceramic cooker. It is true that there is a small amount of rice that always sticks to the bottom of the pot. The reason for this is that I wanted to get rid of the poisonous non-stick surface on my previous rice cooker. This does not bother me. It is a very small amount of rice and it does not represent a large waste of food nor a large amount of money. My estimate is that it represents...

Functional, but not worth the cost.
I was very excited to receive this in the mail after only two days, thanks go to Amazon. My Fiance and I had been looking for a non-cancerous rice cooker as the teflon coated one we had was chipping outrageously. I was looking for something that would not burn the rice onto the bottom as I had read the stainless steel rice cookers had the tendency to do. I found this along with a few mixed reviews and decided to call the company themselves for answers to my questions. The woman on the phone was very nice and reassured me that the cooker had no teflon (multiple copies of the same review with that accusation were all over while researching) and although it would take about 10 min longer than our old cooker AND was a slow cooker combo, I decided to go for it.
It's ok. It cooks rice well, but if you leave the rice in there for more than 20 minutes on warm expect rice to burn onto the bottom. Brown Rice burns more easily. We tried cooking it with more water, adding water to it...

Tasty Rice
Works well with white or brown rice. My favorite use is for oatmeal,
1/2 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup mixed grains(flax seed, quinoa, millet, barley, wheatberries, rye,
lentils, split peas)
2 1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon spice, cinammon, ginger, turmeric, etc
cook on brown rice setting
top w/ frozen blue berries when done cooking, or raisins, or dried apricots
mix w/ 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil, 1 tablespoon mollasses

2 whopping servings of flavor,texture,fiber, iron.

Just don't drop the lid it will break,

Casabella 11272 Microfiber Glass Cloth

I was skeptical, but this Microfiber glass cleaning cloth really works!
I recently purchased aCasabella 11272 Microfiber Glass Cloth Casabella Microfiber Glass Cloth from a local "organization and hardware" type retail store. I was tired of throwing away coffee filters and having to wash piles of rags when trying to clean my windows and glass doors, and was hoping a cloth like this could help alleviate all that hassle and help me be a bit more "green". But as always I keep a little skepticism in my back pocket, and wait until I see real results first.
I expected to use this cloth along with my Windex or Vinegar cleaning sprays, but upon reading the back of the box I saw it said all you need is perhaps a little water - cool! So I started by spraying my glass sliding door smudges with a little water and wiping with the Casabella cloth. Clean! No more smudges! No lint left behind! Nothing to throw away! No cleaning product needed! Tried my bathroom mirror, and got the same great...

Works Well on Glass and Mirrors
Cleans pretty well dry - will remove streaks, fingerprints, light soil, and is great for touching up. For heavier soiling or marks you will need to use some water. It leaves a surprisingly clean finish for cleaning without anything other than plain water and a cloth. Best of all: no streaks! I can see never or very rarely having to use glass cleaning fluid again. That really saves a lot of money and is much healthier.

This product could be improved by making the cloth double-sided with micro-fiber. The back side as it is now can be hard to get a good grip of. If it was the microfiber, gripping would be much easier in addition to having double the surface area for cleaning. Even if not microfiber, another type of material that wasn't so slippery when wiping would be an improvement. Another serious flaw is the way that it is packaged. The plastic pieces used to attach it to the cardboard create 6 very visible holes in the cloth. I cannot yet say how this will affect the...

my favorite glass cleaning cloth
these work great - I have a glass dining room table that was equally dirty all over; I used a glass cleaning spray on one side and this casabella microfiber glass cloth on the other. Not only did casabella clean it in half the time and effort, it stays cleaner longer! You know how you can clean the bathroom mirror perfectly and then when shower steam fills the Rom, the streaks appear from where your spray cloth was? Not with casabella! No more streaks! The cloth cleans perfectly well dry, but what it doesn't get on first swipe, a slightly damp casabella microfiber glass cloth will get it!

While other products such as Zwipes Microfiber Windshield & Glass Cloth 10-Pack look cheaper, they just don't produce the same fantastic results.

Jenn-Air Puriclean II Refrigerator Ice and Water Filter

Does what I need
Right product...right price. Searched local stores for these and decided it works well just to buy on line. Please with my purchase.

Beware
Seems to be a generic 'filter'. No box, light as air. Water comes out with something in it. My tap water is much cleaner.

excellent!
this water filter provides delicious drinking water. We are on well water (hard water) and all you taste is pure water. Makes it taste like bottled water.

Swift Green SGF-G9 Refrigerator Filter (GE MWF Replacement)

Green manufacturing, great price & No problems
Received the SGF-G9 as pictured which evidently replaces the G1 even though product description says SGF-G1. Filter came sealed in plastic. Filtration ratings are exactly the same for both products. Filled with water & soaked as instructed & filter went in with no problem although did have to push up on the filter rather firmly to get it to go in & had a small bit of spillage from the filled filter as it went in and was turned, but no leaks after turning & sealed. Good flow & mine had no loose carbon dust evident during soaking or initial 1 gallon purge. Water is good. Really like the fact of green environmental manufacture process (hope it's true & not hype!!). Great pricing on this compared to the GE MWF filter it replaced. Noticed the same company (Global Shop Stop) also offers the SGF-G1 with correct SGF-G1 picture for $1 cheaper...old stock?

Nice Replacement for OE Filter at almost half the price
Nice Replacement for OE Filter at almost half the price and it definitely fit my GE refrigerator. I recommend this product.

Water leaves a film.
I just installed this filter on my GE refrigerator and I'm not happy with it. We have a water fountain for our cat and water from this filter leaves a slimy film on the fountain. We have never had this problem previously!!! We had always used the GE filter.

Whirlpool 2180224 Ice Guide

Works great
It was easy to install,Took a few seconds. Impresively fast shipping! Very happy with that aspect cause i got to put the ice machine back together quicker and this was one of the parts i was replacing.

Identical replacement for a poorly designed part
Identical replacement for the original and the ice chute no longer stays jammed open. I wish the design were more robust but this fills in for one that broke after about 5 years.

Not as clear as original but works fine
Original guide lasted from 2007 to 2013; this replacement was identical in shape but not as clear
A visit to YouTube helped me figure out how to get it to clip-in. I had to take off the fascia, unplug the light, and unscrew the panel that was blocking my view. Then, it was easy. The whole thing only took a minute to complete, once I figured out the right way to clip that thing into the slot.
5 stars for being able to get a perfectly functional replacement part shipped so easily, but -1 for the opaque color (though it's not something that anyone would notice once it's installed in the fridge).

Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Maker Jars, Set of 8

I like glass ones so much better
Have both these and glass yogurt containers. Give me the glass hands down any time any where. The lids that screw on and off with the glass ones just seem to function better and easier. These may take up a tad less room in your fridge as they are narrower and taller over all but glass seems cleaner and I can't say enough good things about the glass jars. Also I will reach for the kerr or ball 4 ounce regular lid jars when I need an extra yogurt jar or two over these once again. I find the plastic lids on the acrylic jars hard to remove without disturbing the yogurt. Yes I like my yogurt with a firm non stirred up texture. Otherwise it goes into smoothy style drinks and it doesn't matter. Each to their own but glass is my cup of yogurt and choice...these plastic ones now sit down in the dark basement shelf...waiting quietly at least. PS you can get plastic screw on caps for all regular canning jars and also most mayo plastic lids fit them as well. But by all means MAKE YOGURT no matter...

These do NOT fit the Aroma yogurt maker
I'd been waiting for a response from Aroma about how to buy more cups when I saw these. When they arrived, I found that they're very similar to the Aroma design, but a smidgen too wide to fit into the maker. (The up-side is that Aroma is only back-ordered and theirs are $10 for 8, so...)

It looked like these would fit, but no go; These do NOT fit in the Aroma yogurt maker! Still, good products.

I'd prefer glass, but the only real problem with plastic is that it's hard to get the last of the yogurt out of the bottom edges of the cups. I end up using a lot of sprayed water in addition to a bottle sponge.

PS: Aroma did eventually get back to me, and sent me a set of 8 cups for $10 + $5.49 for shipping.

Extra jars are a must!
I received the Donvier Yogurt Maker as a gift. Having extra jars on hand allows me to make another batch of yogurt while I still have a jar or two in the refrigerator. This way, I never run out!

Gerber 09841 Diamond Knife Sharpener

Very Effective
This knife sharpener does everything it says! But it doesn't stay coarse very long. I mean, I sharpen my work knives a lot! Atleast once a day. It still sharpens my work knives, and they stay sharp! I use my knives for everything! From chipping, cutting, poking holes in anything ,opening paint cans, to cleaning under my fingernails! I have bought a couple more and I would support this item 100%.

Basically...Very effective knife sharpener! Would definitely recommed to anyone. I let my friends at work sharpen their knives and they ask me where to get one.

Ultra-portable means it's available when you need it
The Gerber diamond knife sharpener looks and feels just like a ball point pen. With its pocket clip, it's easy to put in your shirt pocket so it will be available if and when you need it in the field.

The sharpener is actually a piece of metal barstock that has a thin coating of diamond grit. The action part of the tool is extended out of the barrel to a length of 2-5/8 inches and tightened with a knurled nut. It has been ground flat on one side and is half-round on the other side with a lengthwise groove for sharpening fish hooks. The protective barrel seems to be made from an aluminum alloy and also serves as the grip for the tool. As such, it helps keep your hand and fingers away from the business end of your knife blade.

The best use I've found for this sharpener is touching up a fine blade that's just a little dull while the half-round side is the only tool I've been able to use for working on a serrated hunting blade. It's possible to get a little...

Good for Rough Jobs
This sharpener is cheap and effective for rough jobs. I use it mainly for my utility knife that I abuse and this quickly puts a decent edge back on it. If you are looking for a shaving edge though, you will have to use a finer sharpener. This will not get a blade to a shaving edge.

HC-888N Honeywell Humidifier Wick Filter

Great value and quality.
Great filter. It needs to be reshaped after being in packaging so give it a day or two before filling up and turning your humidifier on.
I use my humidifier daily, so between 2-3 months it needs to be replaced because pink or dark blue mold will appear and that's really unhealthy to breathe in for you, children, and pets.

Working as intended
Replaced my filter for Honeywell HCM-890LWS, works just fine. Package came with the filter flat; you will need to unfold before putting into humidifier (try sticking a cup in the middle and let it sit for a day or two if you want it to stretch first - but not required). I'll order more when needed.

I gave this to my daughter as a gift
This is one of the more unusual gifts one of my children has requested. She has owned the humidifier for a number of years and was out of filters. This filter matches the specs on her humidifier. What's not to like?

Filter Queen Cone Vacuum Cleaner Replacement Filter (12 Pack)

False Advertising
I ordered what is pictured, a Filter Queen brand filter replacement pack, and received a generic knock off that doesn't even appear to include the disc filters that the pictured item does. What I actually received is pictured here: http://www.amazon.com/Cones-ALL-Filter-Queen-vacuums/dp/B0007SMLXE/ref=pd_sim_hg_6. Amazon is refunding my money but told me that I should buy this item from a different seller.

Not Filter Queen brand
I thought, based on the picture and description, that this would be a package of Filter Queen filters. It is an off-brand which do not hold their shape as well as the Filter Queen ones. For $12, I am going to keep them and try them; it's not worth the hassle to return them. But beware if you think you're getting Filter Queen filters.

Vacuum Filters
These people don't like any negative reviews. If they get a review as such, they don't treat it diplomatically, but take it personally and they choose to not answer e-mails or give refunds. So beware!

Genuine Electrolux HEPA Filter EL022

The information listed is incorrect
Item description shows every three months. I'd imagine that would be if you kept it on high all the time. Here's the info from the users manual.

Filter Care
* The FILTER indicator will signal when to replace the
HEPA Filter. The replacement period will vary depending
on the hours of usage, air quality and location of the unit.
However, most filters in normal use need to be replaced
every 12 months.
* There are two separate filters: HEPA and
Carbon Filter.
* For best performance, change the Carbon Filter every
three months.
* Do not wash and reuse Carbon Filter as it will not work
effectively.

Filter is 17 1/4 X 14 1/2. Bigger then most if not all in this category. Seems like a real good deal at $45 W/ shipping, at least compared to actual competition. The generics models are just OK.

Great filter
I purchased this to adapt my DeLonghi air cleaner for which I can no longer get parts here in the U.S. I cut the filter in half as I only needed something half the size - now I'll have a replacement filter for the future. Sometimes you have to think like McGiver!

Hepa filter
Lasts more than 1 year.

Great cleaning power.

Highly recommend it.

Goo buy,.Electrolux products are always well built,filters the smallest particles you can see.

MaxiMatic EDF-4080 Elite Platinum Stainless-Steel 8 - Quart Deep Fryer

UPDATED REVIEW: the romance didn't last forever ......
I purchased the 8 quart size ... and am glad I decided on the larger fryer. The baskets are a good size, and I love the dual tanks. The dual tank comes in especially handy for cooking fish, so that flavors don't mix. We used a digital thermometer to check for temperature accuracy ... the left side was about 5 degrees off, and the right side was accurate.

The only complaint ... when cleaning the unit, the temperature scale imprinted on the panel wiped off! There are no indentation marks on the panel to follow, either. So now we pretty much have to remember where the temperature settings were printed on the panel.

This is a pretty big flaw in the product, especially for those who don't have a digital thermometer to check temperature. The rest of the unit seems well made. However, we are so happy with the dual chambers, the basket size, and the performance of the fryer that I probably won't return it.

UPDATE: December 2009

After only using for...

Don't buy this
Maxi-Matic EDF-4080 Elite Platinum Stainless-Steel 8-Liter Deep Fryer
I ordered 3 of these, one for me and two for gifts. We liked this product because it had 2 frying compartments with separate thermostats. Sounded ideal. One stopped working on the second use and the plug wouldn't stay connected. Amazon promptly replaced this one. Then another one of the fryers started smoking around the thermostat, but the other side seemed OK. Tried that side and it started smoking and smelled like an electrical short in the unit. These could be a fire hazard. We are not at all pleased and would not recommend buying one. Also, the temperataure settings rubbed off. It was a good concept, but a poor product. Buy something else. We all had a nice fryer, diffrent brand, it was a single compartment, but worked very well, thought a double would be better. We are now going to purchase a second single fryer unit like...

Fire Hazard
I purchased this fryer because of the size and having separated fry areas. It was great for about a week! I was about to write a great review about it. Then not one, but both of the heating elements started billowing white smoke that smelled of burning wires. I am not the only one to have this problem. The company insists that it is just lubricant burning off, but it is just poor design. I don't see how a company can continue to sell a defective product to people. If your product doesn't work, fix the flaw or discontinue it. I wouldn't waste the money on this fryer and I have serious doubts about the company now as well.

Wusthof 8861 9-inch Diamond Steel Sharpener

works great!
The only drawback, is that it doesn't last longer. It does a terrific job bringing the edge back on my knives, but it needs replacing more often than expected (perhaps they are only meant to last a year or two with regular use?).

Very sharp and very simple
This Wusthof is the best sharpener I have used for large knives. Just run the blade at the angle you want then just swipe the blade on the rod about 5 times per side and you are done. This aligns the edge and sharpens at the same time. What a time saver. Of course, you will expect nothing less from Wusthof. I have used these on my folding knives as well and it does sharpen my hard steel knives as well. But I prefer to use my Smith's Adjustable Angle sharpener for those small knives because it has a Ceramic finishing stone as well. I will probably buy the Wusthof Ceramic sharpener as well, but it is not a must. I just use this to sharpen once in a while and a Wusthof Steel Sharpener that came with my Wusthof Set for daily use.

I love Wusthof knives and sharpeners. They are really the best there is.

Great product so far.
I can put an edge on a knife very quickly. If it still is keeping knives sharp a year from now, it will be a super product.

LG 2M246 050GF Microwave Oven Magnetron replacement part

Success!
Now have a working microwave. This was a replacement for a Toshiba 2M248J magnetron in a 4 year old Kenmore. Identical to original but not at a price of $90.00. I purchased a security bit kit on Amazon SE 33 pc. Security Bit Set to get the cabinet apart. Checked the capacitor and diode and transformer prior to ordering from online instructions. The unit symptoms was no heat and a noisy buzz. Hope this helps. Order ships FedEx ground and arrived within a week.

Microwave Magnetron
Ready to replace RV microwave but found this replacement magnetron tube which worked perfectly. Repair under $40 vs replacing microwave oven for around $200. Fast shipping was a plus!

Whirlpool Fsp Electric Range Burner Receptacle

More than disappointed but it all worked out.
The kit was missing the tiny mounting screw even though the picture clearly depicted a screw - the only reason I chose this kit instead of the even cheaper ones. Was actually unable to find a replacement screw out of a small bagful that the seller sent as an apology. Had to pirate a screw from the back burner. Other than that the new plug-in worked well and I saved my stove (aka $600). I also bought some appliance epoxy paint and touched up the nicks and rust. It's all beautiful now AND works great. I am thrilled when DIY saves me (this was EASY) and the landfill.

easy to install
I purchased to fix top burner on stove.
Worked fine. Need to be a little handy but worth the savings of a new stove.

High Quality Receptacle
I have purchased many of these receptacles this year. They are designed very well and is much better than the Universal receptacles which I also purchased to compare. The brass contacts (as pictured with black wires) where the surface burner element is plugged-into offers a much better and tighter fit than the universal receptacles. In addition, the wire shielding is made of heat resistance fiberglass and not rubber/plastic. I took one star away because of the missing screw which should have been included in the package (as pictured).

Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier with Permanent Filter, HFD-110

Warning: Deceptive product description, No HEPA, Yes Ionizer
I reviewed dozens of air purifiers in the search for the best, low-price one with a HEPA filter that did not use Ionizing technology (which appears to be especially risky for people with asthma). I purchased the Honeywell HFD-110 Quietclean Tower thinking I had found the perfect match...

...that is until the package arrived and the fine print on the box said that this was a "HEPA-Type" filter (ie. NOT a HEPA filter, which means not certified to the high standard of a HEPA filter). When you look at the filter up close it looks nothing like the HEPA filters I have seen (not dense at all, quite the opposite).

To make matters worse the HFD-110 IS an Ionizing air purifier (and you cannot turn this feature off), contrary to the Manufacturer's Description which would have you believe otherwise, "Compared to ionic air purifiers, the filter from the HFD-110 captures 12 times more pollutants..."

Look, I think this would otherwise be a decent Ionizing,...

Ionizer
My bf and I bought this air filter specifically for the fact we both have asthma and wanted a nice air filter that not only cleaned the air, but would not create ozone. No where in the reviews did it say that it was an ionizer so we bought it. We had it on for one night, it did a great job cleaning the air and was quiet but when I went to go break down the packaging, I noticed teeny tiny print on the bottom of the box that said: warning: includes ionizer that produces ozone. do not use if you have asthma.

We were both quite upset that we didn't see this warning on Amazon before we bought it. Had to return it! False advertising!

Excellent
This is an excellent air purifier. It can also be used as a fan, which I use it to sleep at night. It is very quiet except on high setting. But what fan isn't noisy on the high setting? I cleaned the filter by running water through it under the sink. It had a collected a nice bit of dust that would have otherwise entered my lungs.

Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black

Great tasting coffee
I'm fond of some of the 'thicker' smokier coffees. Mocha Matari (while difficult to find) is among my favorites. Normal drip pots (including some expensive ones) don't provide the complexity of flavor I enjoy. (I suspect the water is too hot, the brewing cycle is too long, and the coffee is over-extracted.)

One of my daughters is a coffee fanatic. She brought me some Ethopian coffee that she insisted I just had to try. So I ground it up, brewed it with the Bunn, and tasted it. The coffee was great. But my daughter's comments were revealing. "This tastes so good at home, but so much better here. My birthday is coming up -- I know what I want for a gift."

And that's basically what it comes down to. Even supermarket "100% Columbian" coffee tastes pretty good, better than it has any right to taste.

There are a couple of down-sides, though. It keeps the water hot all the time, and that means that the water evaporates over time. Get accustomed to...

Great coffee machine, multipurpose
I've never reviewed an Amazon item before, but will give it a shot because this coffee-maker is so great.

I do a lot of research before buying any home products, including televisions, audio equipment, and even my toaster. I typically drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and 1-2 cups in the evening. I was looking for a coffee maker that recreated the coffee-house experience, as most home brewers do not taste as good as a fresh cup from an industrial brewer.

After much thought and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Bunn NHB despite complaints of weak flavor, cool coffee, and a higher price than most brewers given the relative paucity of features.

After about 5 months, I love it. My girlfriend loves it. We can't drink coffee from other home brewing machines now. We use Peet's Coffee Major Dickason blend primarily. It is true that you need more grounds for this machine. I use about 2/3 to 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup as labeled on...

Oustanding Coffee Maker
I never take the time to write reviews, but this Coffee Maker deserves it!

I have purchased every high-end coffe maker out there over the past few years, and every one had issues of one kind or another.

This product is fantastic! Simple, with no bells and whistles. Just a great tasting cup of coffee in lightning time.

And it looks like it should last years with no problem.

PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft. Heating Capacity

ProCom 10,000BTU Gas Heater
I purchased this item on Nov. 2, 2011, (received it on Nov. 9, 2011), replacing an existing heater that had gone out. It was easy to hook up to the existing line that was already installed in the room from the old heater. I have NO complaints about the heater, I love it, it does everything it say and then some. It has a glass plate along with a screen in the front of it, which at first when I read that it's a 'cool touch' heater, I was very sceptically about that, but honestly it is very cool to the touch, even in the front! The only place the heat comes out is at the top and us having dogs in the house, makes this very comforting to me, as our old one was a 'brick' burner heater and it did leave the front open to being able to get to the flame and the bricks and possibly getting burnt or worse. In an approximate 15x15 area room, we can comfortable set it around 1-2 on the dial and stay very toasty with it. It's a dual gas heater, meaning you have have either natural gas or propane...

Not for use in an rv
I purchased this unit to replace a ProCom 10,000 btu unit I had gotten in Quartzsite, Arizona 7 years ago. That unit worked fine until last winter when it wouldn't stay lit. I thought this was the same unit until I received it & it said on the box "not for use in an rv" It also said that it would not work above 4,500 ft. None of this was mentioned on the web site. I returned it having to pay postage both ways.

Exceeds Expectations
I purchased mine on sale at Northern Tool while visiting my in-laws during Christmas of 2009. I grew up in the family plumbing business so was able to install the gas line myself, but those without experience will need professional installation. If you are replacing an existing appliance it is a non-issue. Otherwise, gas pipe and installation will cost more than the unit itself.

We live in Appalachia where power can go out for days and intended it to provide backup heat for one room. Once installed, however, the warm glow of the blue flame was irresistible and it has been on every winter since. We set its thermostat slightly lower than that of our inefficient central heat which now kicks on just often enough to disperse the heat and provide ventilation. This appliance has paid for itself in savings on our gas bill! It is supposed to only heat 300 Sq. Ft., but 700 Sq. Ft. is comfortable with a sweater when power is out and outside temperatures are below freezing...

Dirt Devil Swerve Maneuverable Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, UD70150

Easy to Maneuver
I guess you either love this vacuum or hate it. I am really impressed with it. For under $100 this is an extremely sturdy feeling small vacuum. I find the swiveling head to be a big help when getting around and under furniture. The suction is great. The first thing I used it for was vacuuming out the filter on the air conditioner. I clean the filter every month and have NEVER seen that much stuff come out of it before with the old vacuum...which wasn't a bad vacuum.

It is a pretty small, lightweight vacuum. But we live in a 1200 ft condo, so this is all that we need. It works great on hardwood, tile and the two carpeted bedrooms. I have no problem pushing this on carpet and have been impressed by how much it picks up. And, for being so lightweight, this vacuum feels really well built. Emptying the canister after each usage proves to me that it is doing its job. For the price, this is a great vacuum.

Efficient, Bagless Vacuum
I'd actually give this vacuum 4.5 stars. It is a little heavier than I expected it would be, and you have to keep an eye on canister fullness. Otherwise, this does a great job of vacuuming. We have 2 cats, so we have a lot of cat hair around the house. This vacuum does an absolutely excellent job of cleaning up after the two cats. It also does a great job of cleaning carpet edges next to the walls. The "swerve" in it is nice for cleaning around and under tables. We have a larger house, so I find that I need to empty the canister into the trash about 3 times when vacuuming the entire house. Emptying is relatively easy if I don't let the canister get too full. Pet hair will suspend the dirt, etc., that was vacuumed up, if you are not careful. Although it is bagless, I don't notice that the vacuum has any unpleasant odor associated with it, as another bagless brand did shortly after I began to use it. While the carpet doesn't look like the pile is standing up straight when...

Great, lightweight vacuum
I also like it because, due to its small size, its very maneuverable.

We live in a 1100 square foot apartment and as long as you use it on a regular basis, it will keep your floors nice and clean - the ones with AND without carpet, although if you have super thick carpet I'm going to say it's not your best bet. The carpet in our apartment is not thick and it works very well. It's able to pick up the small dirt as well as bigger items (broken crayons is a good example) which surprised me. To me that shows a really good suction.

It has a really long cord and the bagless filter can be changed easily, although it fills up relatively quickly. Empty it after every use and you won't have a problem.

I also like this lightweight vacuum because my kids (ages 7 and 9) are able to push it without a whole lot of effort.

The best feature of the vacuum is its maneuverability and the 2nd best feature is its weight. This vacuum is perfect for small spaces...

Lansky 4 Rod Gourmet Crock Stick Sharpener

Poor Construction, lack of customer focus, was a great product
I recently purchased this product from Amazon. I had VERY high expectations for this product since I have owned one for over 25 years (Since about 1980). The first one I accidentally dropped and broke one of the rods a few weeks back. Rather than just purchase a replacement rod (Which is what in hind site I should have) I selected to purchase the gourmet 4 rod version in order to get the MED as well as the Fine rod I broke.

Once again the original one I had was absolutely the best sharpener I had ever owned, but will now never purchase again due to customer support.

The replacement rods were not rounded off, just straight cuts therefore cheaper to make, They don't fit into receptacle as well You can move them about 5-7 degrees(about 3/4 of an inch of movement. in all but 1 of the holes, they were oversized compared to the rods.

The holes in the base of the wood were NOT Correct angles, and the holes were over drilled as to cause the required angles to...

Sharpens but poor construction
This is a relatively straightforward item. Four rods (two different grits) I am not quite sure if this is the right terminology, four holes for two different mount choices (not angles), a hand guard and eight holes below for storage which are spring loaded.

When mounted the rods sharpen beautifully. However, the hand guard is not squared off and was put on crooked. The storage holes have springs in them on one side for spring loaded storage. However, the springs were put in crooked so the rods fall out occasionally.

This could have been an excellent product if Lansky had paid better attention to details. I am surprised at their quality control. I opted not to return the item even though I have every reason to. I didn't want to go through the hassle. I just store my rods in the old case from another manufacturer and use the other manufacturers holder. I will never buy another Lansky prodct again. Surprisingly, the packaging does not say where it was made.

Great tool with many manufacturing imperfections
I've spent about 5 years of my life working in a cutlery shop with a sharpening service.

I've played around with many types of sharpeners over the years. Stones made out of industrial diamond, natural stone and ceramic, V sharpeners, steels, my trusty belt sander and clamp systems.

I was looking for something to replace my quite dilapidated Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker for every day tasks, and remembered using "crock sticks" in my shop quite a bit for smaller tasks and polishing blade edges, so I snagged this set.

First impression is that the other reviews don't lie. There are plenty of manufacturing imperfections that are quite annoying with this set. For one, some of the drilled holes are fractionally too small for the rods. This includes the sharpening positions and the storage holes underneath the unit. This becomes increasingly apparent when you realize the coarse rods are slightly larger than the fine rods, so I currently have to wedge them in...

DMT DS2E 12-Inch Diamond Steel Sharpening Rod, Extra Fine Grit

Great steel for honing, touching up or finishing a knife.
I purchased this DMT item due to my satisfaction with previously purchased DMT diamond sharpening stones. Initially I tested this steel on a fairly dull knife and was surprised to see that the DMT steel had achieved very little after six passes on each side. I checked the surface of the DMT steel with a white kleenex and found very little metal removal. I then tried twelve passes on the same knife and the edge was now mostly restored. After playing around with several knives I discovered that this DMT steel removes very little metal with each pass and is excellent at restoring an acute edge to well maintained sharp knives. For dull blades or for knives in need of initial sharpening, this DMT steel is too slow and probably an inefficient tool for the job.

Excellent value.
This honing rod was perfect for me. I got the green 12 inch (extra fine diamond).

I've been a chef and cooked all my life and I am extremely OCD about knife sharpness. Ive used every type of sharpener imaginable. The easy automatic ones where you just pull the blade through (bad for blade), ceramic rod, diamond rod, carbon stone. All of it.

I've realized the best way to stay sharp is old school. I use a carbon block (my grandfathers from the 1950s), and this extra fine honing rod.

This is the sharpest you can possibly get. I'm saying razor sharp. I use the block to edge the blade (probably once every six months), and I use the honing rod each time I cook.

I dont recommend the extra fine rod if you dont have a carbon block or something to make an edge. The extra fine maintains an edge but it doesnt make an edge.

Using the fine by itself would maintain a sharp, but not as sharp edge, the ceramic would basically constantly be making...

Very nice product.
This is a well made pro quality tool. It will hone a chef knife back to a sharp edge in just 2 or 3 passes. It is not made to sharpen a knife. It is made to keep and edge on an already sharpened knife. It dose this well. If you know how to use a honing rod, I suggest this one.

TOP Quality keyboard case for samsung galaxy s3 i9300, galaxy s4, i9500, bluetooth keyboard, laptop keyboard, ipad keyboard, keyboard for galaxy note in Black

Compact and easy to use
This folding Bluetooth keyboard is one of the few electronic items that has performed as advertised. Compact and easy to use this is a wonderful adjunct to any smartphone or Tab. Delivery was faster than projected. Thank you for the complimentary Thumb drive Seller. Highly recommend.

Excellent bluetooth keyboard. No hassle setup.
This folding keyboard for Samsung Galaxy (Siii in my case) works great! It takes a bit to arrive, as it comes from China, in case you are in a hurry. It also only comes with Chinese (I assume) instructions, but they are not needed. It is truly turn on and use. Put in the batteries and tell your phone's bluetooth to recognize it and it works. After that, it works every time you turn it on, as long as Bluetooth is on. Comes with a free gift (card reader in my case). Thanks seller! Highly recommend for those who are tired of touchscreen typing.

Nutone 9093WH Deluxe Heat-A-Ventlite 70 CFM 1500-Watt Heater with Ventilator and Incandescent Ceiling Light, White

Some things for consideration
This unit comes with its own wall switch: two rocker switches that control all four elements (light, night light, heater, and vent). Not needing the night light feature, at all, I decided to buy a separate Nutone switch Broan-Nutone P66W Fan Control Switch. The 3 unit switch works just fine.

The unit is heavy enough that it will get a bit tiresome installing it, but it's very sturdy overall. I am noticing some rattling issues, but it may not be level (there were three of us working on this, and I haven't had a chance to "check their work" yet...). Loosening the grille seems to silence the rattling somewhat.

We may just need to look things over again, but this fan doesn't pass the toilet paper test, at all. Holding a long, loose piece of tissue ON the fan doesn't even move the paper one iota. We may have something blocking the damper, but honestly, if we do everything we know to and...

Retro fit
This Nutone heater-vent is a replacement for a orginal installation. This was a perfect fit with the same wiring color code and hardware. The one I replaced had been in the house for over 30 years.
The shipment was on time and packaged great.

works great
The heater is very functional and puts out a lot of heat from the ceiling. At first I was was concerned it would not heat as much as a floor heater - no problem. It is fairly quiet for it's output but would not win first prize. The vent and fan are about even in their noise. The nite lite feature designed for the old pre fluorescent days is a little silly as it only has space for a 7 watt small incandescent which draws 50% of a fluorescent bulb likely used. We still use it, however.

Nutone Aluminum Hood Vent Filter, 97006931

Hood vent
I was very happy with my purchase and have recommended the site to my friends looking for the same type of item.

filter - 2stars, customer service - 5 stars
This filter is aluminum mesh only. No charcoal filter or any other material to help with odors or grease. Basically, it will keep big chunks of gunk out of your fan and grease will stick on the mesh but not much else. Please note - the filter is not what I expected but the bulk of that is my fault for not doing better research. Due to M error, I have 24 of them that I will have to replace. Next time, I'll do my research!

Customer service - I rate that at 5 stars. I communicated prior to the sale, received prompt responses and the seller was very accommodating. The seller shipped within 24 hours of my placing the order, it was well packed and he communicated with me after the sale. Such stellar customer service is by far the exception within the online, impersonal buying experience. I would patronize this seller again in a heartbeat.

Good purchase!
The item is as described. It was a perfect replace for the old one that I had. It looks very similar to the original.

Black & Decker VF96 DustBuster Replacement Filter for Model CHV9608 Hand Vac

good filter but gets clogged fast!
these are impossible to find anywhere so I was happy to see they were here on amazon... these filters work well but they get clogged with dust very quickly and the dust busters performance suffers until you clean them out.. I use my buster a lot every day so I have to blast my filters with canned air every couple of days to keep the performance up to par. the other style filters with the louvered surface seems to go much longer before needing a cleaning but my new dust buster can't use those filters.. these do hold up well for many cleanings but it's a dusty messy process getting them clean.. over all good quality but requires some not so fun maintenance.

Dustbuster filter
This filter is so hard to find! That's great I could find it here at amazon. Simple and effective!

As expected
The filter arrived as described, in a timely manner, at an acceptable price. It fits my Dust Buster, as noted in the customer photo I posted above.

Nesco 4842-47 Professional Roast Air Roaster Oven with Convection, 12-Quart

Pretty good but there is a hidden cost
I use this roaster to slow-cook large chuck roasts for large batches of soup. It does this well but there are a couple of design issues with it, and a hidden cost.

Design issues:
1. The power cord comes out of the right side near the FRONT of the unit. So the cord has to snake around the very hot roaster to reach a power receptacle at the back of a kitchen counter-top. This is a dumb idea - the power cord should exit at the rear of the unit like normal well-designed counter-top appliances.
2. The handle for lifting the lid is in the center of the lid. The first time you lift the lid when the unit is at operating temperature, hot air and/or steam will rise up around your arm. You will only do this once, and then develop the habit of reaching around the side to the rear of the unit to pull the the lid up.

Hidden cost:
The standard porcelain cookwell is difficult to clean after food has baked or boiled onto it for a long time. Plan on spending...

great addition to my kitchen
I have had other cookers and never been happy with them they just stayed in my cabinet,
this cooker is great. Heating cooking cleaning is all wonderful. I use it everyday.

Size is great
I like the size and the multi functions. I can cook a whole ham or a large roast with no problems.

Marna White Piggy Steamer, 8-1/2"

Simple and Cute
To cover round or square containers in microwave, this is a top choice. The design is so simple and with good humor. You can pick up the "pig" by its ears when its cold. You can pick up the "pig" with your chopsticks when hot. The nostrils of the "pig" is for steam to escape. So easy to clean. It is the cutest item in the kitchen.

great product!
I bought a smaller version of this at the MOMA store years ago (for more money!) and we use it ALL the time. It beats plastic wrap or wax paper and really steams veggies well. I love that soups/etc don't splatter all over my microwave. This larger size is great because it fits over the bigger bowls nicely.

Does everything it should - works perfectly!
Not sure how I ever lived without these, honestly - I use them all the time now in the microwave

Very Good Product for the Money
I have ordered this product before and it definitely meets our needs and is an excellent value for the price.

good and cheaper
these bags are not as sturdy as the ones made by miele but they work just fine. the closure is made of cardboard as opposed to plastic so you need to be careful when you lock it. you cannot use too much force or it will break. i'm usually careful so i have not had any problems.

Air King 9012 Commercial Grade Oscillating Wall Mount Fan, 12-Inch

Space-saving cooling marvel! Not "wobbly" at all
I can't understand why wall fans are so difficult (impossible?) to find in stores. If you need a fan in a cramped space, or just want to use your desk/shelf space for something else, you need a wall-mount fan. I have a small office, and this 12" fan was just what the doctor ordered. The person who wrote the fan was "wobbly" probably did not mount it properly. You need to read the directions for mounting, because the proper method for mounting is not intuitive. However, once mounted properly it is unusually solid and stable. I'm not sure if I would go so far as the reviewer who wrote that, once the fan was properly mounted, you could hang from it, but that's not far from the truth. This fan has an extra-long cord so you probably won't need to use an extension cord. I like the fact that it has a pull-string to instantly turn off the fan, regardless what speed it is on. It is reasonably quiet and very powerful for its size. I rarely use it on anything more than the lowest speed.

Great
I have to disagree with the wobbly fan person. If you mount it correctly, per the instructions that are included, you can hang from the fan if you wanted to. Now I have two of these in my sun room and they are out of the way mounted on the wall and much more powerful than those cheap fans you get at home depot. Pull string lets me change the fan speed with a short tug I recommend these to anybody with a home garden.

Good Buy For The Money
I purchased this fan to get rid of all of the cords my wife had running across the sinks in the bathroom. After showering she'd overheat while doing her hair/makeup in the steamy bathroom. I opted with mounting it on the wall between the sink basins and running the wiring through the wall and into the attic to connect. Yes, the fan is not whisper quiet, but is no louder than most and a great deal quieter than many. You can tilt it to some degree and it is reasonably attractive as oscillating fans go. My wife leaves it on almost continually and I've had no issues with vibrations.

LG OTR 1.8 CF 1100-Watt Microwave, SS

LG Microwave
My 5 year old GE Profile Spacemaker 2 microwave turned out to be junk and I replaced it with an LG. The LG unit was approximately the same size and I had only to change the wall mounting bracket. The mounting holes for the under cabinet type mount matched the GE unit. Within 15 to 20 minutes I had the LG unit installed and working. The LG unit does everything the GE unit did and does so much quieter and at about one-third the price. I expect to get more than 5 years out of this unit; but, if not, I'm still ahead money-wise. The unit was purchased on-line from Amazon which I recommend highly! Great price and I had the unit in a few days.

GE Replacement
The installation was really easy the same bracket from the GE fit the LG perfectly. It was not that heavy and if you are brave you can install it by yourself. I'm 6', 200 lbs (okay 210) and I was able to hold the microwave up, drop the screws in the top from over cabinet and tighten them to the point that the microwave would not fall then I used a latter to finish tightening them from above.

I think the presets are better than the GE I had previously. For example, reheating pizza using the pizza button melts the cheese on top but does not over heat the bread. Overall, it seems to do a better job of heating the entire piece of food not just the middle.

By the time the real quality of this microwave is determined it will be long since discontinued. I based my decision to get an LG on the quality of other LG appliances that I own (washer & dryer and computer monitor). I have been happy with the quality and function of all these appliances and will continue to...

Great product
I researched several models with different companies and after reading reviews on Amazon I thought I would buy this product. It is a great product. Easy instructions to set up. I have had it running for a week and it works like a charm in the basement. The seller delivered it way before the expected date.

Surpassed my expectations
I have a 1200 sq/ft basement that during the summer months often gets a high level of moisture in the air....I have battled this situation for 3-4 years with little if any success in resolving this problem....since purchasing this unit it has removed the annoying moisture smell and humidity in the air effortlessly............One of the best purchases I've ever made and for a really good price!!

Best Dehumidifier ever.
This is such a quiet unit, you don't even know it's running. It beeps to alert when bucket is full. It is doing the job in a 1000 ft basement.

Ok, still love this unit. We are however having a problem with the customer service dept. that sold us this unit. A small tab broke on the water float in the bucket. We glued it and I called many times sitting on hold for 30 minutes or more to get a replacement part. I was told they did not have replacement parts for the unit so they would open a new box and send one out, tab broke again. Waited about a month, received nothing, called again, waiting way too long to speak to a body again to be told the parts for unit are not in stock and it may be another month before they get a part to send out to me. They told me to drill out the part, get a pin of some sort to replace the broken tab, etc.... Seriously... why should I have to do this to a unit I had less they 2 month?????? So we still love the quiet unit, but as for the customer...

Whirlpool 3406105 Door Switch

Switch fixed the problem
This switch was remarkably easy to install; it took longer to open up the dryer than it did to put the switch in, and I'm far from mechanically inclined.

perfect
It's a simple and easy product to replace. Save yourself the professional sized bill, and give it a few days to arrive. The price difference between purchasing here vs a appliance repair shop is worth the short wait. Product works great and the actuator lever is just as strong as the original but more pliable so less likely to break again.

No problems!

Sunbeam 2591 350-Watt MixMaster, Black

Great for the price!
This mixer is great for the price, and for the average baker. If you want something inexpensive, but you are a heavy duty baker, don't be cheap! You need to pay for what you need to serve your purpose. There are no accessories available for this mixer, but it serves it's purpose even if you bake often. Contrary to one reviewer's comments, Walmart sells a different model Sunbeam stand mixer with bread hooks. Buyers should be mindful of the fact that these mixers have various model numbers, yet have the same physical design. Investigate what you want to buy first, and make informed decisions. Kitchen Aids are great, but who needs a $200-minimum priced mixer for average baking and other purposes. There are also other Sunbeam models that offer additional accessories that bakers use. This mixer works well for a multitude of purposes. If you need heavy duty, then investigate other Sunbeam models or by yourself a Kitchen Aid.

Great Mixer if you don't want to spend big bucks
I bought a mixer to make cookies. Sick Cookies, that is. Anyway, using a mixer once a year didn't warrant my $200, so I spent $65 at target on a sunbeam with a 350-watt moter and 4 quart bowl. Made 9 batches of cookies tonight and it worked great!

Easy to clean and work with.

Took it Back!
The lowest speed does not allow for a smooth start and is entirely too fast. Because the beaters sit high in the bowl I had a hard time just creaming eggs, sugar and butter. Detaching the beaters to use without the stand was not easy. In manufacturing they used some type of machine oil that exudes an obnoxious odor. After one week the odor was just as strong and permeated my entire kitchen. In comparison to the 'old style' Hamilton Beach mixers, the new stand mixers all have a lot to be desired. Maybe the new Cuisinart stand mixer is the way to go?

Frost King CC30XH 34x30 Round Central Air Conditioner Cover (Heavy Duty Reinforced Polyethylene)

Does what it needs to do
This AC cover is fine for what I needed. It is a little larger than my AC unit, but a little rope around the cover keeps it in place in the winter winds. Nothing fancy, no zippers or velcro, just a cylendrical plastic cover. It's a better alternative to the cut and duct taped plastic garbage bag I used in prior years. We'll see if it lasts more than one winter.

My A/C unit is a monster so I wasn't enthused about removing and reinstalling it for the winter here in Michigan. I put this cover on the inside of A/C unit, behind the curtains.

Nostalgia Electrics MSB64 64-Ounce Margarita and Slush Maker

great, but not for everyday use
I got this as a Christmas present (only in green)and used it almost daily for making ice coffee and smoothies. It shreds the ice just right with no problems. The spout is a great idea because you leave it going while you fill up your cup so nothing has a chance to settle and you get the perfect consistency. But here it is August and parts are breaking :( The plastic teeth on the top of the base that spin the grinder have broken. I was able to super glue enough of it back on so it will still work for now. The spout leaks lately even when you have it as closed as possible. It is also hard to clean if you make a smoothie with berries. I had to take a screw driver to unscrew the grinder so I could clean below the grinder.
Bottom line is that plastic breaks and leaks. Why don't they do a testing on how easy it is to clean? I would recomend this if you want to make ice coffee or other drinks without seeds occassionaly, but I am looking to upgrade to something more durable and easy to...

Works Well, but NO Owners Manual
I bought this as a gift for my Wife... actually, I gave her the promise of making frozen drinks such as Rum Runners and Orange Julius knock-offs. So I actually get to operate the machine and she benefits from my love of gadgetry!

I think it works better if you CRUSH THE ICE BEFORE ADDING LIQUID. This is my opinion, but since it did NOT come with an Owners Manual, I'm not sure if this is correct (as the Engineer that designed it).

Long story short, IT WORKS, QUICKLY!

(OK so it's loud... but after the second glass, you can't tell anyway.)

P.S. If anyone from Nostalgia Electrics reads this, please make the Owners Manual available to download on your website. Thank you!!!

The Perfect Party Drink Maker and Dispenser
I love that this drink maker doubles as a server. You can "freshen up" the drink before you pour it to make sure you're not getting the melted part. Mine DID come with an owner's manual and I found it very easy to use. The drink dispenser flows FREELY when switched to open, so you have a small learning curve to avoid over flowing smaller glasses. I would definitely recommend to others! I might order a second one so we can have Coladas and Margaritas side by side at the next big event.

Coffee Maker - Drip with Pot, White Porcelain 19oz.

Nice and the price is right.
I like it a lot and it's very inexpensive compared to other porcelain sets I have seen(I have seen porcelain filter holders costing more than this whole set!). I bought Melitta no.1 filters and they work okay but overflow a little too easy for me, and they require more attention since you have to keep filling it over time to prevent overflow. I might try some no.2 cone filters, I have a feeling they might be the best fit. UPDATE: I did get some Melitta no.2 filters and they are the perfect fit, and that's what I will get in the future. Before I bought the no.2s, I used some Melitta no.4 cone filters and they work fine and prevent overflow but they do extend way above the rim. I don't recommend buying no.4s, but if you already have some you can use them to see how you like it before buying no.2s. Some people might perfer the no.4s if they don't aim very well. ;)

Just be aware it is a small coffee maker and that the coffee doesn't stay hot too long in it. I find myself...

Love it!
I am so happy with this little drip coffee maker and it worked perfectly. I bought the #2 coffee filters as the other reviewer recommended and they worked out just right.

I can only drink decaf which my husband does not like so this little coffee maker is perfect for me...also the 2 cups of coffee is all I need.

I fill the little pot with water then pour that into my water kettle so that I never have to worry about over-filling. Once my coffee is brewed I put it on a cup warmer to prevent it from getting cold.

For the price you cannot beat this little drip coffee maker. It was just what I was looking for.

Simple and easy alternative
A simple alternative to electric, plastic, run-of-the-mill coffee makers. After experimenting, I found a fine grind works best -- about 2-1/2 tbs to two cups water. Total prep time to microwave the water, grind the beans, prep the filter, pour the water, and brew: about 4 minutes. I'm trying to move away from using plastics for food preparation and storage, so this was a good option for me. And, unless you drop and break it, it will last forever. Can't beat that.

Vitamix Wet Blade Free Black 48 Oz Blender Container with Lid

Good things come in small packages
The quality of this container is just as nice as the taller version that came with the blender I just bought. I happen to prefer this handle to the larger container (also clear plastic) because it's rounded while the taller one has squared edges so it's not as comfortable of a grip as this one. But those are minor differences, it's really a non-issue.

The rubberized lid to this container is not the same as the lid you get with the 64-oz container so if you ever see this container sold without the lid don't think that you can use the 64 oz lid with it. But you can use the same tamper (as long as it's the newer model). I'm mentioning this because I almost made the mistake of ordering the mini-tamper thinking I would need it with this shorter container. That's why the two aren't sold together, the new design of tamper works for both containers.

Great size - Great Vitamix quality.
I am really enjoying this 32oz container and have found it to be an invaluable addition to my Vitamix 5200. Like others have stated, the measurement increments printed in black on the side of the container have been very handy. I can easily measure right into the container instead of getting a measuring cup dirty. Yes, the larger container that came with my Vitamix has measurements but, to tell the truth, before I looked at this one I never even noticed because they are too 'tone on tone' to easily see/use.

I also really like the way that the bottom part fits inside of the four prong things on the base of my Vitamix 5200 so it seems even more steady than my original container that goes outside the prongs. I use both, but I am very pleased that I got this one too. It's nicer to have a smaller container for many of the things I make.

One more thing - For others who may be curious, as was I because it was not addressed, the tampers that come with both sizes of...

Fantastic
Needless to say after spending 400 bucks on my Vitamix I was less than anxious to shell out an extra $130 for the 32oz. container but I just couldn't help myself.

The 64 oz. container is just big enough to make rinsing it a bit of a hassle (lazy I know) and it is beyond overkill when I am just looking to make a quick protein shake with 8-10 ounces of liquid.

I mainly use my Vitamix to make green smoothies and while people normally recommend around 32 oz. of green smoothies per day I just don't want to drink 32 oz. in one sitting and I don't like drinking the same "flavor" twice per day - instead I prefer to make two separate smoothies of about 16-20 ounces twice per day and the 32 oz. container is just perfect for that.

The only other thing I really use my Vitamix for is to make a peanut sauce and even with a rubber spatula getting it out of the 64 ouncer is a bit of a chore so I look forward to making it in the smaller container.

I was also...

General Electric WB02X10776 Charcoal Filter

IT IS ONLY ON ONE SIDE FOR A REASON (Two Independent Systems)
This filter fits perfectly in its intended position and there is only one filter for a specific reason. Explanation Below.

Actually the two fans are divided and control air that intakes from separate areas. If you do a little bit of inspecting the microwave, take a flashlight and shine it into the left fan and you'll see that the light doesn't shine through to the right which means they're independent of each other.

You'll also notice that the fan on the left is venting much more air(where this filter is to be placed). This is happening because it is the only fan that is recirculating the dirty air from the stovetop itself and that is why it needs a carbon filter.

The fan on the right (without a filter) actually intakes air from the top front right corner of the unit, which is clean air (place a piece of paper towel in front of it and turn it on and you'll see the suction). This air is then used to cool down the microwaves electronics and is vented out...

Badly designed microwave and filter.
I bought this filter for my GE JVM1540 microwave. ABT shipped it quickly.
My microwave didn't come with a filter when I bought it, so this is the first time I've used one. While installing it, I found a fatal flaw- the microwave blows air out of two ducts on the front of the microwave, but GE only provided the capability to install a filter over the left one. So you're only filtering half of the exhaust. Actually, I think you're probably filtering less than that- after I installed the filter in the left duct, even more air was exhausted from the right duct than before (I'm guessing the wind resistance of the filter causes air from the left duct to back up and flow out the right, bypassing the filter completely).

I don't see the point in buying a filter to filter only a portion of the air coming out of the microwave. And I can't believe that GE let that design flaw slip through.

How to install a perfect JVM1540 grease filter
The prefilter media sold for honeywell air filters can be used for microwave carbon grease filters, such as needed for GE JVM1540 DP1BB. Here are instructions.
The oem part is a charcoal filter in a metal casing. The size of the opening is 135x160mm, but the filter has to be smaller than this because of the thickness of the rigid metal casing and the plastic guides that hold the filter. Filters you buy online may fit somewhat correctly, but are not likely to fit precisely. However, if you buy carbon filter media, such as the Honeywell 38002 carbon pre-filter or equivalent, you can use scissors to cut a 135mmx160mm piece that will fit precisely in the filter slot.
To access the filter, depending on the exact model, you remove screws on top of the microwave, then open the microwave door, and remove the plastic vent cover that extends across the length of the microwave at the top. In my case, there are three screws, and once they are removed, the plastic piece needs to be slid...

Waring PBB212 Professional Bar Blender, Retro Green

The best Christmas present I've gotten in years
I've long been interested in having a really great blender. Something that will crush ice, puree soup, make smoothies for breakfast or snacks and of course blend up a nice margarita. :)

I looked at dozens of blenders, and finally chose the Waring bar model in stainless based on design, other reviews and power. The metal jar was also very important. I have always been afraid of breaking the glass on other blenders I have owned, and in fact have broken one.

This blender is just lovely. It is loud, but because it is so powerful and simply *works*, you don't have to run it very long anyway. There are no plastic buttons to get sticky and goopy. One *metal* switch and two settings are plenty.

Rather than the "turn to lock the jar in" method that most blenders use, this one drops in. You can't do it "wrong" -- it just won't go in if you have the canister turned the wrong way. The jar, which does need to be held steady with one hand, never kicks or bucks when...

blender of the year
A name you can trust and have trusted for years. This blender does it all. weather you need 1 drink or 10 drinks. Problems crushing ice with your old blender? Not this one. I go through pounds upon pounds of ice a night and this blender doesn't even slow up.

Waring Blender
This blender has been completely satisfying. It crushes ice consistantly and thoroughly. My smoothies alwalys come out like silk. I use the blender several times a day, and the motor hasn't burned out. The steel adds a unique touch while leaving me fearless of broken glass. And, the warrenty that comes with it is a comfort in the event I have problems with the unit. I highly recommend this product for it's quality, distinctiveness, and dependability.
