KitchenAid KHM900ER 9-Speed Hand-Mixer, Empire Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a truly nice product in every way! These beaters won't rust and are easy to clean. It's comfortable to hold. It's not too heavy but yet is built solid. It mixes without making much noise. Splatters quickly wipe clean off the mixer. Best of all, you're really getting your money's worth!
I'm glad to see after placing my review of this product that its price only went up $10 instead of $80 like the other product I wrote a review on.

(More customer reviews)Put boiling broth in the hotpot and it starts boiling again within a couple of minutes. No problem contolling the boiling. Good size for one or two people. My wife and I used it 5 times in the first two weeks.

Samsung : RSG257AARS 24 cu. ft. Counter Depth Side by Side Refrigerator - Real Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This model is newer inside than the larger, non-counter depth model RS275ACRS. I returned that model to get this one and am very glad I did.
1. This model has interior LED lights when you open the refrigerator instead of the hotter old bulbs like the 275.
2. I am somewhat compulsive about temperature control. I have two precision thermometers, one in the fridge and one in the freezer compartment. On the RS275ACRS, the temperatures were nowhere near what the external display was reporting them as. On this model, however, the refrigerator is usually within 0.2 deg F of the reported temperature (at coldest setting of 34F, thermometer reports 34.1 whereas the 275 would be all over the place, never lower than 37 or so). In the freezer, this model is rock solid at -10 F when the external display is -14 F. I consider this excellent, as most freezers can't get this low. The 275 was lucky to get to -7 F with the display at -14 F. And yes, I allowed plenty of calibration time and took multiple readings over weeks. So, in my testing anyway, they have definitely upgraded the innards since the 275.
3. This model has the icemaker on the freezer door, not hogging the upper shelves of the freezer, which I love.
4. It is, obviously, slightly shallower than the RS275ACRS, but the markedly improved performance is well worth it to me.
5. Fridge very quiet.
6. External display slightly improved vs RS275ACRS.

Whirlpool : WFE381LVS 30 Freestanding Electric Range Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first foray into a convection oven & a glass top, I'm hooked.
This is a nice looking oven/stove. While it's somewhat easy to clean there are trade offs from the old burner style. The glass top & stainless steel need to be wiped off regularly as they show any goofs readily. The old porcelain ranges & old style burners hid smudges & messes well but when it did come time to clean it was a big job.
The glass top will scratch if you're not careful. If you use cast iron a lot you might not want the glass top. I have a large cast frying pan that I use carefully but I've still managed to scratch the top. I assume it's from my cast iron cookware even though I've checked everything for burrs on the bottom & haven't found anything that I think would scratch glass....?
The dual zone burners are great for sizing to the pan/pot. The largest is 11" & heats my 12" cast pan great!
In my opinion the oven heats a tad slow and boiling water on the top could also be quicker but maybe I'm expecting too much.
The electronic timer doesn't turn off the oven like & hoped. You can accomplish the auto off but it takes more programming.
The storage drawer is a joke. It closes crooked & jams unless you use two hands to keep it perfectly straight. The drawer is not as deep as it could be & things will fall out of the back of it easily which means you'll be on your hands & knees fishing baking sheets out from under your oven. It's very cheaply made. I don't understand why they cut some very serious corners here.

20330T - Toro Recycler (22") 190cc 3-in-1 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used it several times now and I'm very satisfied with the mower.
Rear Wheel Drive: Works well with the pressure assist handle. The harder you're pushing the faster the wheels turn. It helps on the big hills.
Clean Out Feature: Attach the hose and let the blades clean out the under carriage. Works very well and helps motivate you to keep the mower clean.
Mulching: Works great. I slow down through the tall grass and it doesn't leave any piles behind. I plan to use mulch almost exclusively.
Engine: Started up when I wasn't even pulling hard. I was just working the oil into the engine and it kicked off...very easy start. I used it in very deep grass the other day and it had plenty of power to chop through the worst of it.
Side chute: Attached it the other day going through a large section of very wet/muddy, very tall grass. Probably should have weed whacked it but I don't have one yet so I mowed. It was a mess. The wheels were spinning and I was sliding all over the place but the mower never faltered and plowed through a very messy job. The clean out feature worked very well that day.
We had just moved into a house that was vacant for a year. Our lawn has not been cared for and the first few mows have been brutal. Even walking the yard a bunch of times I could not get all the debris and limbs out but the Toro blew through them like it was nothing. I've been very impressed with this mower so far.
I take care of my tools and will clean and winter prep it properly not to mention getting the blades sharpened each year. I plan to have this mower for many, many years.

Super Angel All Stainless Steel Twin Gear Juicer - 3500 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Angel Juicer:
INCREDIBLE Juice Yield. The pulp is super dry.
(I use to have a Breville Juice Fountain Plus- The pulp from the Breville(Centrifugal Force Juicer) was very wet. Breville would juice Carrots, Cucumbers, Apples, Even Kale pretty well producing 60% Juice and 40% Pulp. But the Breville was unbelievably easy to clean by comparison. After a year of juicing with the Breville, I got my cleanup time to about 3-4 minutes and then stuck it in the dishwasher and it was ready to go the next day)
Angel Juicer- I can not stress this enough, but the pulp was extremely dry. The angel juices spinach + other greens, brocolli, etc. very very well. It is time consuming to juice since the feed chute is smaller than the breville and the juiceman.
I estimate that the angel produces between 75-85% juice of whatever vegetable or fruit you put in. Even though it seems like you get only 15-20% more juice, the quality is far, far, far, superior than the Breville and the Juiceman.
Now for the bad part:
The cleanup for the angel is way longer. Initially, when I first used the angel juicer, it took me 35 mins to clean. Especially if you juice carrots, the pulp gets lodged inside the holes in the screen.
I originally purchased the angel juicer because I figured there are only 3 parts to clean (2 twin gears and 1 screen). The plus side is that the gears are very easy to clean, just pour water on it and the pulp just rinses away.
The screen is a different story altogether. The screen Length is very long which is great for getting a high juice yield but tough to clean. Your hands can not reach all the way inside so you have to use the included brush and then scrub scrub scrub for a very long time.
(However, I have not tried putting it in the dishwasher or used vinegar to clean it because the juicer is expensive and I did not want the juicer to be damaged with high heat from the dishwasher.)
My recommendation: Its an ok Juicer, I am not sure if I will juice everyday if the total time to juice is over 40 minutes (minimum).
For me, I am going back on the hunt to find a juicer that juices greens as well as the angel does but takes half the time to clean. Hope this helps. :-)
