Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor
Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor
Housed in attractive stainless steel, this 900-watt juice extractor features a unique five-speed smart juicing system. Its powerful motor comes with a built-in electronic smart chip that increases power to the cutting disc under heavy loads. As a result,
the filter extracts more juice and can make an 8-ounce glass of juice in just five seconds. Speeds range from 6500 rpm for softer fruits and leafy greens like cantaloupe or spinach, to 12500 rpm for maximum extraction from denser foods such as apples or beets. The unit's 3-inch circular feed tube makes it easy to process whole fruits and vegetables, without pre-cutting, slicing, or peeling, plus the feed tube sits uniquely positioned directly over the center of the cutting disc for better balance and consistent results. The juice extractor also provides a stainless-steel micromesh filter and cutters, engineering-grade polymers, a backlit control panel, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Accessories include a 1-liter juice jug and froth separator, a detachable spout for juicing directly in to a glass, and a cleaning brush. The juice extractor measures 16-4/5 by 15-1/2 by 10-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor Reviews
The juicer is excellent! It definitely deserves a spot in my "Best investments" list. So far I have tried Oranges, carrots, celery, apples, and spinach. Makes great juice and there hardly anything left in the pulp. Spinach, however, does not get fully utilized (even after following their instruction to pack it between other fruit/veggies). I have had so much difficulty consuming fruits and veggies because of time, cutting and other things. With this juicer, I am done making, drinking and cleaning parts all under 10 minutes and I love it so much that I have not had a cup of coffee since I bought this juicer 4 days ago. Why to drink when much healthier alternative is available? Overall My family and I are very happy with this unit.

Frigidaire FAA065P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Reviews
We bought this to cool down our large master bedroom. The room is about 30 feet by 15 feet and the unit cools it down relatively quickly. I wouldn't describe it as quiet and I think it would not be tolerable if trying to watch tv with it on. The noise, however, has been unexpectedly soothing, like white noise, for my husband and myself to sleep. It was simple to install and seems pretty sturdy.
We purchased this unit before a massive heatwave in NYC, and it saved us. we use it to cool a rather large bedroom (22 x 18), mostly at night, which it does well. If we use it during the day, we use the energy saver feature; at night, this is a little noisy, so we leave it on "cool". It will *not* cool your entire house, but if you have a contained space it works well. Have not yet seen an electricity bill, although it claims to be inexpensive to run. Highly recommended!

Cheap Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Equipped with a 12 amp motor and patented WindTunnel technology, this bagged upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. It uses three distinct air channels to lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA media bag. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control, and a bag-check indicator so there's no need to guess when the bag needs changing. The cleaner also comes with fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, and a headlight, as well as a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Reviews
We bought this vacuum based on the good reviews but I just had to write another one after using it. When I started using the vacuum I thought the "embeded dirtfinder technology" was the biggest gimmick there was. After using the vacuum for a few minutes I realized that it actually works. There two lights (one red and one green) on the lower left corner of the vacuum and they switch from red to green when the carpet is actually clean. I thought to myself "yeah right" but when using it, the light stayed red for a long time in high traffic areas of my house but in the spare bedroom where no one ever walks it was green almost right away. I really worked harder on those high traffic areas to get that solid green light and I really feel like my carpet is clean now. Give it a try - it makes vacuuming much more entertaining.
I was still using my Decade 80 Upright Hoover (28 years now) and decided to buy a new Hoover. I am very pleased that I like this new one as much as I did my old one. I shopped around everywhere and could not beat the price on Amazon and then the free shipping. The only complaint I would have is the short attachment hose. My old Hoover still works but has been retired to the basement. Very happy with my Hoover!

Weighing less than 12 pounds, the cleaner moves effortlessly from room to room and up and down stairs. It also provides illuminated fingertip controls for easily turning the power on and off or switching between high and low speeds. The upright vacuum cleaner uses a dust bag with a HEPA filter, which traps 99.97 percent of dirt, dust, and pollens down to 0.3 microns for better indoor air quality. The quick-release, self-sealing bag prevents dirt puffs from escaping, and the cleaner's check-bag indicator illuminates when the bag needs to be changed.
Other highlights include a 12 amp motor, a 14-inch-wide nozzle, automatic height adjustment, and edge-cleaning brushes, as well as a lifetime LED headlight, a comfortable D-shaped handle, and a 35-foot power cord.

The upright vacuum cleaner measures approximately 15-1/2 by 13 by 45 inches and carries a six-year limited warranty.

With 1000 watts of peak power driving a variety of accessories that make every meal easier to prepare. No other processor does it better!
Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor Reviews
I just purchased this food processor to use for a weight loss program I am currently enrolled in. One of the things I make with this is a lo-cal mouse which involves chopping alot of ice for the base formuls. I just returned the 11 cup plus machine because it couldn't handle this rigorous routine. The plastic container on that one cracked and the machine would dance across the counter while chooping the ice, this processor is as steady as a rock. I plan on using this machine for many other things but this is currently my primary function. Great machine and it is easy to take apart and keep clean.
Cuisinart finally got it right! I have owned a cuisinart since 1978. My first one lasted almost 20 years, my second lasted a dozen years. I was skeptical because nothing is made stronger, heavier, better than the appliances I used when I first got married. But I needed one and I was reluctant to switch to another brand such as Kitchenaid, even though that one also got good reviews. I LOVE MY NEW CUISINART. I love the three bowls, I love the specialized dough speed, I even love the new cover which conveniently comes apart better than the old one. I am probably in the kitchen more than anyone I know, I make everything from scratch, breads, pastas. I have a library of about 800 cookbooks, it is my passion. This model cuisinart will not disappoint!

Cheap Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum
Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum
The Hoover Platinum Collection LINX Stick Vac gives you cordless convenience with powerful upright performance. It is the first cordless stick vacuum with Hoover's patented Wintunnel technology, which utilizes three suction tunnels to lift and remove the hidden dirt. One touch activation of the brushroll makes for an easy transitionfrom hard floors to carpets and edge cleaning bristles allow for closer access to walls and corners.

It has the Energy Star rating and a Best-In-class six-warranty.
Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Review
We purchased this vacuum through Amazon three weeks ago. The vacuum is used for our large kitchen (laminate floor), laundry and entry way from our garage (laminate floor), front entry way and three bathrooms all with ceramic tile floors. Based on one of the customer reviews we'd read, we were concerned with the battery life. This has not proven to be a problem at all with us. First, the battery charges to full capacity in just about two hours and not the three we expected. We use the vacuum almost every day and the first charge lasted for a good two weeks. We are now on the second charge. The brush option is seldom used as the vast majority of the vacuuming is on hardwood floors and not rugs. It is our belief that limited brush use has allowed the battery to last longer. We've emptied the cup twice and did not have a problem with getting dirty. If your cleaning needs are similar to what I've explained, I would highly recommend you buy this vacuum. We also like the convenience of being able to charge the battery away from the vacuum and not be limited to where the charging can occur. So, we prefer to place the charging unit on a counter top.
I have a Siberian husky and four cats this thing works wonders on my hardwood floors and area rugs, my husband cannot believe the amount of hair and dirt this thing gets up, oh by the way we live on a farm so there is lots of dirt to pick up so much better than a canister vac.

Cuisinart Food Processors Reviews
I just received my DFP-14 and love it. I used to have a hand-me-down no-name food processor that died last year. I had been wanting a new processor, but didn't want to spend the money for the new model Cuisinart. When I saw the price on this, I ordered it immediately. I've already used it 4 times this week, from hummus to pizza to a huge batch of homemade bread. Unbelievable. And dishwasher safe. This huge workbowl can handle anything. Several family members have different brands of food processors, but I've noticed that the ones with Cuisinarts still use them years later, and they work as well as they did on day one. I'd never use another brand. An incredible bargain on one of the best products on the market.
Just purchased my first food processor last month. LOVE IT, I've used it for bread, brownies, cookies, meatballs, chopping and slicing carrots, strawberries, potatos, cucumbers, bread for breadcrumbs, & onions. Even made my frosting in it. Been married 15 years this month and wish I would've gotten one 15 years ago. Easy to clean, safe, I even dirty less dishes which is a good thing since I don't have a dishwasher either. Buy one, you won't be sorry. Just be sure to leave it on your counter and use it, even for the simple things, cleanup is a snap.

Cheap Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer
Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer
Jiffy J-2000 clothes steamer, 1300 watts, with plastic steam head. Similar to the J-2 model, but with updated design and ergonomics Quick 2-minute heat-up time, high-impact polymer outer housing, 1300 watt heating element die cast in solid brass, 50/60 Hertz electrical system, low profile, easy-to-handle water reservoir, new "no spill" check valve cap for easy filling, over 1.5 hours of steam per filling, color-coded high temperature wiring, fusible link with automatic shut-off for safety, 360 degree swivel casters for mobility, assembly wrench included. Made in the USA.
Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer Reviews
Over time this machine will save you far more money in dry cleaning than it ever cost. Do not expect miracles though. If you think it will replace ironing shirts or pants you will be sorely disappointed. It will remove most wrinkles from "wrinkle - free" pants and shirts. Do not expect them to look freshly starched. For most of those items that need dry cleaning, it will remove the wrinkles from daily wear. I have a blue blazer that is fairly light weight that it does not work with -- the blazer looks like it was caught in a fine spray -- sort of "peeblely" looking. On the other hand most wool slacks and wool sport coats or suits it works miracles -- quickly removing wrinkles. Do, however, let the cloth dry and cool off after steaming (a few short minutes) before donning-- otherwise it will wrinkle again fast. Highly recommended -- if your expectations are reasonable.
The Jiffy garment steamer is a great appliance to own. You can easily steam shirts, pants or any garment in a fraction of the time necessary for ironing. This product does not damage fine garments such a silk or linen like an iron can. It easily removes wrinkles from all types of fabrics and is easy to take care of. Just change the water routinely and let the steam flow. I use my Jiffy Steamer every day and I wish I owned a travel model as well!!

Breville BKC700XL Gourmet Single-Serve Coffeemaker Reviews
I've been wanting a pod coffeemaker for some time now. I'm glad I waited to purchase this model. After having it only one day - I used it 6 times for both my daughter and I. The coffee strength is good for prepackaged k-cups and making my k-cups is easy. I ground my own coffee beans fine and weighed about 12 grams of the fine coffee into the mesh basket. I selected the 7.25 oz size and my coffee came out perfectly. I used the my k-cup for tea and hot chocolate too. For my tea, I opened 2 tea bags and finely ground the leaves and then placed them in the basket (basket about 1/2 full) and selected 7.25 oz and my tea came out awesome. I wanted more tea, and I used the same grounds but on the 5.25 setting, and it was another perfect cup! For hot chocolate (Godiva powder) I measured again about 12 grams of fine powder and selected 7.25 oz and again another perfect cup. I'm pleased with the quality of the taste of prepackaged k-cups and my experiences making my k-cups.
This product is very easy to use and it's quiet. The water heats up quickly and you have a cup of whatever you want in less than 20 seconds and clean up is easy. I like that I don't have the hassle of coffee filters, cleaning coffee pots and throwing away coffee I couldn't drink. I enjoy that my guests can choose what they want to drink and that there is always a fresh cup. The bonus is that this product looks great on my countertop. I own other Breville products and can say that their quality is definitely high end.

Merrick Flossies Dog Treats Reviews
Our Daisy dog loves these treats! I tried the cheaper ones but he knows the difference and won't chew anything but Merrick Flossies. Our vet says our dog has the cleanest teeth he has ever seen because of the Flossies. Love your dog? Treat him/her with Merrick Flossies ... you are sure to get a smile in return!!
I purchase Merrick Flossies regularly for my two Westies as well share them with my "dog park friends" of various sizes, breeds! I have not known one dog who refused such addicting treat! Larger breeds would normally woof this size of Flossie down in a few minutes while the smaller breeds much longer.
My boxer loves these flossies. In the past I would by them individually from the local store. They are expensive snacks but I could not find them locally in bulk until I looked on Amazon. Only problem is my dog eats them fast. I'm currently trying the Jumbo Phat flossies.

Cheap Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner
DC17 Animal; The most powerful upright for pet hair. Outcleans all other vacuums, room after room. Level 3 Root Cyclone technology. Unique cleaner head and motorized brushbar for the bets pick-up across all floor types.
Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner Reviews
this is advertised everywhere for 549... it is available at sams club for 479.. at target it is currently 549 but you get a free 100 giftcard for future purchaces, so it is actually cheaper if you shop at target regularly to get it there.
it has a 5 year warranty and so don't buy an extended warranty unless you have money to burn or you want the ease of taking it back to sams and no questions asked they will hand you a new one.
We just took this Dyson Absolute DC17 Animal out of the box 2 hours ago, snapped it together without much trouble (but DO refer to the instructions). Oh-my-gawd! The first room we vacuumed had already been vacuumed with our old machine, and then steam cleaned. It looked clean. But the Dyson stunned us to the point of disbelief when we gave that "clean" carpet the once-over and the canister on the Dyson was full of dirt and pet hair from our black lab and short-haired cat! I'm not kidding here people, this model of the Dyson lives up to the rave reviews it gets. So it's almost $500 and maybe you are thinking "I'd never pay that much." Well, it's cheap by comparison with most of the disappointing competitors out there. We keep our carpets clean but when I saw all the filth that the Dyson pulled out of our "clean" carpets, I was blown away. I'm not prone to gushing about any product but this one really lived up to the advertising. Only one thing (there's got to be one thing, right?) and that is it comes with some useful attachments and one very UN-useful one called the "Mini Turbine Head." It is in sharp contrast to the rest of the Dyson vacuum in that it simply doesn't work worth a darn. For one thing, the instructions don't tell you how to hook it up to the hose. Once you call the 800 number and figure it out, it's still pretty worthless. But since it wasn't a separate purchase, I'll just leave it in the closet.

Cheap West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn
West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn
Designed for offices, churches, break rooms and cafes. Serving light indicates end of brew time, instructions printed on faceplate and interior water level markings make coffee-making easy. Twist to secure cover and heat resistant base/trim for added safety. Convenient coffee level gauge and on/off switch.
West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn Reviews
This West Bend 100-Cup urn is the most dependable of all my "fleet" of coffee urns. In my opinion the polished aluminum doesn't look as ritzy as stainless steel models, and requires a bit more scrubbing to keep it new looking. But one of my two new stainless steel models (in my case, Waring) stopped percolating after only 5 uses, and gave colored water rather than coffee during a presentation. My replacement, if Waring won't fix it under warranty, will be West Bend models. Long-term reliability/dependability is far more important than fancy looks of imported stainless steel.
Our Local Kiwanis Club purchased this Coffee Urn for the Wautoma/Waushara County Senior Center, located in the City of Wautoma, Wisconsin. As a self supporting facility, the Senior Center depends on service groups, such as the Kiwanis Club to help support their facility. As a member of the Kiwanis Club of Wautoma, Wisconsin, I was very happy to lend a hand in purchasing this product, knowing that I got the best price from Amazon.Com

Dual Dock Alarm Clock Reviews
so i was primarily looking for an alarm clock/charger for my ipod touch 3g. i came across this and discovered it did just that and more: its dual dock! so it charges my nano 4g as well. WIN. this is my first ihome and i am thoroughly impressed. the unit doesnt look or feel cheap at all. the sound is incredible; my dad heard it and thought it was one of the smaller bose speakers. the remote control is about as thick as the touch, as wide as the nano, and weighs about the same as the nano. which means i might lose the control soon if i dont pick up a habit of leaving it in the same place over and over again. the price may be a bit steep, but the dual dock makes up for it since most households have more than one ipod.
Excellent choice for a couple with 2 iphones--no more hunting around for the charging cables. It is elegant, easy to program. The remote is excellent--it lets you control an ipod (I haven't figured out how to get my iphone to respond the same way). The reception quality for the radio turner is excellent. I use this in the kitchen, rather than in the bedroom, so I don't use the alarm functions. The light for the clock can be dimmed, and it's nice to have another clock in the kitchen. My only complaint is that the volume control on the unit could be easier to adjust (it mimics the wheel of the ipod, but isn't always responsive, so i just use the remote).

Cheap Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White
Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White
The Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-pint Dehumidifier is an Energy Star Compliant 70-pint per day dehumidifier capable of continuous operation when the unit is located near a suitable drain. It features full-function electronic controls, an easily accessible collection container with level indicator, and a washable filter that removes both moisture and airborne particulates. The integrated casters allow you to move the unit easily to wherever it's needed.
Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier Reviews
I've been using this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now. I guess it is a brand new model for this year and that is why I am the first review. I figured that last years model had good reviews so this years model can't be too bad. Plus I've had great luck with our 16 year old Frigidaire refrigerator so they must know compressors well.
Unit was boxed very well and packaged acceptally from Amazon. You cut the plastic straps off and lift off the box exterior from the base. You can then pick up the unit from the handle on top. It is a plastic handle but doesn't feel fragile when you lift it. It is pretty heavy, but wasn't a problem for me to carry downstairs to my garage.
Setup was easy if I remember correctly. Just pull off some tape in a couple of places and plug in the cord. I had it run on continuous for several days but have now dropped it down to keeping it at 35 or 40 percent. It has digital pushbutton controls which I haven't really explored too much. There is a 2 digit numeric display which I think shows the set value and after a moment the current humidity that it is seeing. I'd have to check the manual on that for sure though. That is the way it acted.
I current have it in a garage that is not very warm. It has been into the upper 30's and 40's there the past couple of weeks. I needed this dehumidifier out there to keep a bunch of woodworking tools from rusting. I drive the car into the garage and all of the snow drips off of it and onto the concrete. I was worried about the humidity level in there even in the winter. The equipment I have out there is worth too much to have it rust!
It is really sucking the moisture out of the air though. After about 5 days of running, I had a full bucket. It holds a lot of water. The bucket is easy to remove from the unit. It has a handle to carry it with. There isn't really a good spout on the bucket to pour it out of though - at least I haven't found a corner that works well yet. I poured the water down the floor drain and it kind of splashes a bit.
There is a way to hook a threaded garden hose up to the unit so you can just dump the water into a floor drain or wherever.
That is probably my biggest gripe is that they should of included a small 2-4 foot hose for that already. I don't want to go buy some 25 foot garden hose and cut it off to what I need. I'm going to see if I can buy a threaded end and basically make my own out of some tubing or something. I don't want to have to dump the bucket every few days and since I have a floor drain right there, that is the way I would operate it. Of course if you are using this in your house without access to an easy drain, you'll have to remove the bucket and maybe dump it in a bathtub or something.
I would imagine that as soon as the humidity gets here this summer, this unit will really be working hard. Of course opening the garage doors a couple times of day will really let the humidity back in but it will just have to pull it back out.
One more thing - I could NOT find this specific unit listed on any Frigidaire websites which kind of worried me that it is some off-model unit or something. I think Amazon just probably has access to selling it and have it listed before Frigidaire actually has it listed up on their website.

WORX GT WG151.5 Reviews
Received this item today.....charged the battery in about 30-40 min and took it out for a test run....Edged the front lawn by the 156 ft of sidewalk (both sides)that's over 300ft! and the driveway edges in no time and did a GREAT job.....then went out back to tackle the 9 brick and stone lined gardens....again did over 1/2 of the back before battery needed a quick recharge....went in to put battery on the charger and and registered product for the warranty on-line..had a coffee and battery was ready to finish...Did a great job...quite, powerful, clean and so light weight! Looks like gas trimmer will sit on rack most of the time now....this will do my over 1/2 acre yard so easy....Love it!
This is a great little tool. The Lithium-ion battery is tops. Lasts about 45 minutes full throttle. Very light weight. Doesn't hurt my back. It is totally adjustable to your height and size. Balanced well in your hand. It also recharges completely in about 30 minutes. The trimmer is nice and cuts well. Takes a little while to learn how to best cut with, but really does the job on my small yard. The best thing about it is the edger. My old B&D corded trimmer was nice but always hurt my back to lean over and such. It had an edger mode too, but the wheels on the Worx make it a clear winner. I have trimmed the yard and edged about 6 times now and am still on the same spool of trimming cord. I have never had to stop and take it apart to feed the line back thru unlike all the other brands. It feeds the line automatically each time you start it to the right length. When I do the yard, I start with this tool. If (very rarely) I ever need more charge on the Lithium-Ion battery, then I put it on the charger and mow. By the time I finish mowing, it is fully charged and ready to go again. Try that with any other brand. My yard has never looked so good. If you have a small to medium sized yard and want a nice light-weight trimmer with just the right power, this is it. And did I mention NO GAS needed......

Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner Reviews
This is going to be short because the other reviews covered the operation nicely. I just want to comment on how nicely the machine cleaned up afterwards. I just bought it and have used it once. I was amazed how easy it was to clean it up after cleaning the carpets. I have a dog that sheds a lot and there was hair everywhere on the machine when I got done. I ended up taking off the plastic parts on the bottom of the machine to get all the hair out from under and around the brushes. The parts came off easily and cleaned up very nicely. They also went back on well. The 2 in 1 tank also cleaned up easily.
OK I will say I've owned bissells before and they always worked good but something ended up breaking and I'd get a new one. So after my last one broke I got a Hoover Agility. So I will base my review on comparing the two. The hoover was good, did a decent job, drove me nuts how it didn't have a rinse option, so if I tried to rinse my carpet was soaked for days. It seemed to lose the suction power after a while. It also didn't have a dryer or a heater, which I realized I really missed from other bissell. I still have it and will keep it, figure one downstairs and one upstairs why not? I used the new Bissell on my new carpet in the basement thanks to very muddy dogs. It work amazing, the carpet looked just like it did when I bought it. I was really impressed. It even dried quicker with the dryer on this machine. The only thing and it may be my carpet was I ended up with alot of fuzz. And I mean alot but that could just have been my carpet. The machine is alot heavier then I thought but I like the idea of the clean water/dirty water sharing the same tank, the Hoover is seperate and it drove me nuts. One would always be filled or gone before the other one. The only thing I was a little annoyed with and it may just be me, is that I had a hard time seeing the water being sucked up, it is just the machine is so big you don't see it that well. But overall I am much more happier with this cleaner then the Hoover, I liked the Hoover just doesn't cut it that well for a house with 2 kids, 5 cats and 2 big dogs. I'm going to try it on my boys room and that will be the big thing! Id' say definitely go for it if you are considering this. Definitely worth the money you spend! I was also surprised and impressed with how many extra attachments it came with.. including a hard wood floor attachment. The hoover's attachments were cumbersome and often fell off the cleaner.

Cheap Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor
Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor
Prepare delicious, vitamin-rich juices in seconds, thanks to the extra large feed chute and efficient stainless steel micro mesh filter. No need to pre-chop fruits and veggies such as apples, tomatoes, and carrots. Just place them in the chute and push with the pusher. While juicing in bulk, there's no need to disassemble the juice fountain to empty the pulp container, it just slides right out. A powerful motor pushes fruits and veggies through the mesh filter to separate seeds and fiber, maximizing juice output. You can have a glass of juice in 5 seconds, and be through clean up in not much more. The easy clean design has fewer parts and rounded smooth surfaces that can be easily rinsed after use.
Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor Reviews
I own a juicer that is more expensive and rated as one of the better juicer on the market... it does a lot but it is bulky, heavy, cumbersome and very difficult to clean so I never use it. I did some research and decided to buy the Breville juicer. I made an excellent choice. I love this juicer. It has great power, is quick, effective, good-looking, fits nicely on my counter and yields lots of juice... but most of all it is so very very very easy to clean. I have only owned it for 24 hours and I've used it three times already. It assists me with keeping everything very simple and enjoyable!!!!
Wow!!! The most life changing appliance I have ever owned. I was given a Juiceman II for a wedding present years ago and used it a few times but got fed up with all the preparation and cleaning time. The Juice Fountain on the other hand is amazing. I use it almost every day and it has changed my life. It's like having a juice bar in my own kitchen and I am making healthy recipes like carrots, cabbage and apples, as well as great tasting juices for the kids like strawberry and pineapple. I pick the fruit, I pick the ingredients and it takes only seconds to make and a minute to clean. It says on the box that it makes a glass of juice in 5 seconds and it's true. My husband and I wake up energetic and refreshed and I'm now off caffeine altogether. I can't say enough about this appliance. Thank you Breville.

Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger Reviews
I bought my first serger eight years ago and it was a Brother. I liked it but went to have my Singer sewing machine tuned up a couple of months ago and got talked into buying a Singer serger. I traded in my Brother and that was a MISTAKE! I took the Singer back for a better one and that one is now sitting in the box in the basement. I then ordered the 1034D Brother serger from Amazon and I am happy again. It threads much easier, it is quieter and I don't have to keep re-adjusting the tension. I like the foot feed lever on the right. I also like that there are no obstructions near the loopers and the regular needles. With the Singer I could not get my fingers in there for threading. I would recommend this Serger to anyone who sews and wants a machine that is EASY to use.
I have been sewing for years....and I can't believe I waited so long to get a serger! It has made sewing so much more of a pleasure. I can work with delicate fabrics now without any worries. This serger is the best for the money! It serges the most delicate of fabrics like a professional. If you are looking for a good little "workhorse" serger without spending tons of money this is the one for you. I love it!

Cheap Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker, Black

It offers a safe and convenient side-loading wood tray. This Smoker has 100-percent insulation for energy-efficient cooking.
Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker Reviews
I bought this a month ago and it works great, and is super easy because of the digital thermostat. Works best and gets the most smoke flavor if you leave the vent all the way open and reload the chips every 45 mins. Soak the chips for only about half an hour, you don't want them too saturated. I knew ribs would be great, but I had no idea how awesome a whole chicken would turn out, really moist and smokey all the way thru. Everyone says it's the best chicken they've ever had . Cook ribs and chicken with a bbq rub at 225 degrees, for 4 hours and fill the drip pan at least half way with water at the start. Haven't done a brisket yet, or a whole turkey, but that's next.
It works great. You just have to get a feel for the proper amount of wood chips to be using as it is not set and forget. I feel it is far superior to charcoal smolers as you never need to interupt the meat to keep the heat going. If you have never smoked food before, you will have a learning curve and the instructions with the Smokehouse are very brief.

Soleus Air DP1-70-03, 70 Pint Portable Energy Star Dehumidifier Reviews
My basement runs about 80% humidity all year round and stays about a constant 62 as well.I have had this unit running for a month and it has done everything I have asked of it.The basement is 1200 square foot and this dehumidifier has lowered the humidity to 55% which is where I have it set.I have it hosed to a drain and it is fairly loud on the high setting.The only negative I would note is the bucket seems a little flimsy if you are opting not to hose it to a drain.Actually it is the handle of the bucket that is suspect.Overall very happy with this product.
My old dehumidifier died and we needed to replace it so I checked all the reviews for different dehumidifiers and this one kept coming up with great reviews. Yes, it is a bit noisy, but it pulls the musty smell out of the air and has been pumping out a full bucket every day and it's not even summer yet. I live in Georgia so the weather here in summer is very humid and our lower level has always been very humid and smelled musty and slightly moldy, but since running this every day at 50% humidity it is perfect down there and I enjoy being in the lower level again. Thank you Soleus for making a great unit.

McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner
Steam clean like a professional! The McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner does it all. Melt away grease and grime from your engine, wheels and chrome accessories. Steam away stains and odors from upholstery, carpeting, floor mats and hard-to-reach places. Steam produced by this cleaner is hot and pressurized. Care must be taken to avoid burns or other injuries. Never point nozzle at people or pets. Please read all instructions prior to using your McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner.
McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner Reviews
I absolutely love this steamer! Unlike the smaller hand held steamers this one holds enough water to steam for almost an hour! And it packs a punch! I can't stop steaming! I've steamed my cupboards, refridgerator, oven, microwave, floor boards, carpet, silk plants, tile floor, showers, tubs and more! I haven't been disappointed once! Also, cleaning without harsh chemicals is such a blessing because of my sensitive skin! Light weight, quick and easy to use! Love IT!!
I agree with all the favorable comments others have left on this steamer, and I bought it based on those comments. It is very well-made, with high-quality heavy-duty materials. The tank is big enough that it will steam a long time without being refilled. We are preparing to move into a rental house, and I shudder to think of the germs left by prior tennants, even though it looks fairly clean. Today I took the steamer over and attacked the dirtiest thing in the house - the electric cooktop. I took off as many parts as I could and steamed and wiped them one-by-one in the sink. I'm sure some of these parts haven't been this clean since they were new!

Cheap George Foreman GRP90WGR Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates, Red
George Foreman GRP90WGR Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates, Red
George Foreman Next Grilleration Grill with five removable plates for contact grill, griddle, waffle, bake and panini cooking. All grills are coated with George Tourgh exclusive scratch resistant triple tough non-stick coating. Dishwasher safe removable plates for easy clean up.
George Foreman GRP90WGR Reviews
We purchased the original Forman Grill, forever ago and decided it was time to upgrade. I purchased this one & just love it ... Even more than I loved the first one. I usually only made grilled cheese or warmed up leftover hamburgers on it for my little ones. With this one, among other things, I am able to make waffles, cook bacon & eggs for a great Suday breakfast for a family of 6. The only drawback for me is the fact that I've got to store all those different plates and try not to scratch them up too badly. Overall this is a worthwhile purchase.
I had the family size George Foreman grill for almost ten years when the non-stick coating finally wore off. I finally decided to replace it. I originally was planning to purchase the Cuisinart Griddler afer reading all the fine reviews, but while I was shopping I saw this Grilleration. It looks so much like the Griddler that I thought it was the same thing. It is almost identical in appearance to the Griddler, except in red. Some people have said the design is outdated, I think it's very retro looking - which is of course very "in" now. I chose it over the Griddler because it slopes, allowing fat to drain, like the other Foreman grills. I really like this feature. In addition, the grooves are deeper than the Griddler. It comes with an additional flat baking dish, and the two waffle plates and a steak plate. It also comes with a very nice cookbook, better than anything I've received in a kitchen appliance. We followed the directions exactly and had great waffles in 4 minutes. I'm not sure why other people had problems with it. I've never had a waffle iron, but this was no problem to do. I will keep this on my counter full-time, as I mostly like to grill meats and vegetables for meals. It's pricey - which is unfortunate, but it has already got much use in my kitchen, and if it lasts as long as my previous Foreman grill then I should get my money's worth.

Cheap Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press
Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press
Breville die cast commercial-style designed Citrus Press is wonderfully functional and excellently designed. It has a die-cast stainless steel juicing cone that will fit all size citrus fruit. It boasts innovative juicing action for maximum juice extraction. It also has two stainless steel filters for variable pulp control. It gleams with brushed stainless die-cast steel housing and motor body. It will be an item that will enhance any kitchen countertop.
Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press Reviews
This is an extremely well made machine that is very easy to use.It comes with two different gauge strainers to allow either more or less pulp to fill the glass. I prefer to use the fine strainer so as not to allow the very small seeds to get through. Then I'll take a small spoon and fill the glass with pulp after I've weeded out the seeds. This does not take long. Clean up is very easy. This is not an inexpensive juicer,but if you want a machine that should last for a very long time and is a pleasure to use then this is the one. It also looks great sitting out on the counter.
I juice my own oranges several times a week, and after my pathetic Cuisinart juicer gave up the ghost, I knew I needed something a little more robust. I read the reviews, and this looked like the best, so I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and sprang for it. Yes, it's an obscene amount of money for a citrus juicer, but as a friend said, it will probably last a lifetime. It's that solid. And if you use it a lot, it's worth it. I love how quiet it is, how fast and thoroughly it juices (except with very pulpy fruit--it doesn't particularly like those). I have one or two minute quibbles: Because it doesn't have a reverse mechanism, there's often some juice left among the pulp in the strainer, with no effective way of extracting it, and the spindle and adjacent depression in the base can get sticky, and are a bit hard to clean. Then again, they don't come in contact with the fruit, so it probably doesn't matter that much. Once you make the decision to spend this kind of money on a juicer, I can't imagine that you won't love it.

Cheap InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Evolution Compact. Includes Dura Drive 3 4 HP induction motor, SoundSeal technology (at least 40% quieter), multigrind 2 grind stages versus 1 in a standard disposer, 34.6 oz. stainless steel grind components, removable quiet collar sink baffle. 4 year
InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer Reviews
I am the sort who reads consumer reports and online product reviews before making a decision -- even about a garbage disposal. This seems to be a fine product. I had read someone who said it was so quite they thought it wasn't working. I thought, "yea, right." But then the same thing happened to me. When I first turned it on (without waste the first time), I had to look to be certain it was even functioning. One quick caution -- I also had to use larger wire nuts than the ones that came with the electrical connection kit. Also, there seem to be two versions of the evolution disposal out there. I have seen both a 5/8 hp and a 3/4 hp by the same name at two major competing home supply retailers. I have the 3/4hp from Amazon. While I suspect they are both fine, you will want to be aware of what you are getting.
I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Evolution Compact disposal from InSinkErator. I had a fairly high end Kenmore disposal for about a year. It did a good job but was noisy. Then this year there was a fire in my condo unit that resulted in several rooms having to be rebuilt, one of which was the kitchen. When working up the remodeling details, I ran across the Evolution Compact at Home Depot. I wasn't up-to-speed on this new series so I went home and read up as much material as I could find. In short, though I didn't really need a new disposal, I decided to give it a try to see if I could reduce the noise in the kitchen. I am SO GLAD I spent the money for the Evolution Compact. It is significantly quieter than the Kenmore. My sink doesn't rattle like it's going to come loose from the countertop when the disposal is running. Best of all, the Evolution quickly gets rid of anything I've thrown at it, all they while doing it quietly. One thing that attracted my eye in the store was the blue color of unit. It stood out from all the blacks and greys around. While appearence in not necessarily something you look for in a garbage disposal, it does project the image of a high-quality, high-end appliance, something that can be a positive if for any reason you decide to sell your home. I highly recommend the Evolution Series to anyone looking for a new garbage disposal. I agree with a prior reviewer, there are other places where you find the Evolution Compact for $159 so it's worth shopping around unless you live in an area where you have to make a long drive to get to a home center like Lowes or Home Depot.

Cheap Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold
Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold
Perfect for serving hot beverages to a crowd, this electric water boiler and warmer provides up to 135 ounces of hot water for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and more. The unit features a micro-computerized temperature-control system and four keep-warm temperature settings that include 140, 175, 195, and 208 degrees F. Simple one-touch controls supply a reboil button, which reboils water to 212 degrees F; a dispense button; an unlock button that must be pressed before pressing the dispense button; and temperature- and timer-setting buttons. The unit's energy-saving timer function--from 6 to 10 hours--automatically turns on the boiler at a later time to save electricity, and its LCD display shows the actual water temperature at all times,
as well as the temperature and timer settings. The dispenser also comes with a cafe-drip dispensing mode, which decreases the amount of water dispensed to 60 percent of the normal setting, making it suitable for brewing cafe drip coffee. Even more, its steam-save function automatically lowers the power just before boiling to reduce the amount of steam emitted from the steam vent. Other thoughtful details include automatic safety shut-off, a wide window water-level gauge that shows how much water remains in the unit, and an interchangeable melody or beep indicator to alert the completion of the boiling process or a low water level. A removable 3-foot power cord, swivel base, carry handle, and easy-to-clean nonstick interior provide added convenience. The 700-watt water boiler and warmer measures 11-3/16 by 8-3/16 by 13-1/2 inches.
Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer Reviews
I thought that I was a little silly buying this thing as I have an electric kettle that works fine. However, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thing. I am on a diet and drink a lot of tea now (instead of sodas, juice, etc.). I like to make large mugs of tea instead of making a whole pot each time. This appliance gives me hot water instantly and keeps it hot all day long. I am glad that I got the four-litre instead of the three liter. I am surprised at how often I end up filling the thing! I use it more than I thought I would. The different temperature settings are great if you enjoy gourmet teas. You can set the guage for the optimal brew temp and there is no guessing. The quality of the product is also excellent. The color is very neutral and goes with most everything, but it would have been nice to see a range of other colors to choose from.
I bought my first Zojirushi water boiler in 2004 soon after I visited Japan for the first time. It has changed my habits in the kitchen and I do wonder every day how I managed without it - it is a brilliant product, and it lacks in the fanciest kitchens. This one I got for my Mom. She loves it and so does everyone else in the household. Apparently it is more advanced than mine because it has a very nice chime when water is ready, and 3 or 4 different temperatures for varieties of tea. A must-have in the kitchen from the ONLY brand I would trust. Zojirushi rocks!

Cheap Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper
Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper
Heavy duty professional corded animal clipper. Powerful universal rotary motor. 2-speed. 3,000 strokes per minute on low speed and 4,000 strokes per minute on high speed. Compatible with all Oster CryogenX detachable blades. Includes: clipper with standard Oster #10 blade, blade guard, blade oil, grease, cleaning brush, extra brush and spring set and instructions.
Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper Reviews
These are expensive, but worth it. I bought a $80 Andis model at Petsmart and they lasted six months. I have had these for almost a year, and with 3 dogs, and cat, they are great. Only downside is that they're too big for little faces ( I have 2 shih-tuz and one Lhasa ). I have purchased a set of Oster mini-max for faces, and just use scissors. Haven't tried clipper guards or diff. size blades, but the clippers paid for themselves the first usage. At $50 per dog, per groom, a $150 set doesn't seem so outrageous. Don't bother buying anything cheaper if you groom your dog on a regular basis and are trying to save money on a professional groomer. You'll end up buying a new set of clippers every year.
I purchased an oster A5 clipper 23 years ago, and used it professionally for 12 years, I still have it, and use it for grooming my own dogs, and my friends dogs and cats regularly. After sharpening the blades for around 7 years, I had to buy a new set, and now am looking to replace those. All blades can get hot but a few tricks will keep you and your pet comfortable. Use your vaccuum to get excess hair out that builds up or a blade brush to keep blades hair free. Kool lube is great for cooling off your blades or you can have an x-tra set and switch off. I lay mine on a cool metal surface to help cool them, and work on another area with a different blade if I need to.It still is one of the best purchases I made, and easily maintained when you follow the easy cleaning directions provided, they will last for years!!!

Nespresso CitiZ Automatic Espresso Maker and Milk Frother Reviews
All, I bought this two weeks ago in the U.S.A and it is amazing. Finally what was coveted by the Europeans is now here. The espresso shots,lattes and cappacinos I make with this machine are sooo much better than Starbucks, Petes, and my local shops. If you drink lattes more than a couple times a week, this pays for itself in 3-5 months. What I loved about it was how easy it was to operate, easy to clean (Super easy), and how quick my lattes were made. It is MUCH faster than brewing a cup of regular coffee, and cleans faster. Yes, the nespresso capsules are mail order, but they arrive very quickly and Nespresso has quite a variety. The reason it is mail order instead of walkin store, is to keep the quality and so that the capsules don't stale on the shelves.The Milk frother works both hot or cold, and is teflon coated for easy clean. I invited my neighbors to check out our system, and after they tasted the coffe, they went out and bought one. They called us to tell us how happy they were with their machine. This is a gem that has made life better and no longer am I bothered waiting in lines for mediocre espresso (With 19Bars of pressure, the espresso has a nice crema (smooth taste). Plus I don't have to be a talented barrista in the morning when I am half asleep and could'nt do a jumping jack even if my life depended on it. Its cruise control espresso and Lexus taste. Plus I control the taste... can make it with organic milk and syrups. The Milk Frother is magnetic and amazed me at how frothy it would get my cappacinos. Love the blue Arpegio Lungo, and within 2 minutes I have a latte, within 5 minutes I am poured and everything is cleaned. Plus it is made in Switzerland- QUALITY. Citz....I'm a beliver, the experience online and in-person was white glove.

Omega J8003 Reviews
My last juicer was centrifugal type and lasted 20 years. When it died recently, I started researching a replacement only to find a mind-boggling amount of brands and styles. After all the time invested, I'm glad I decided on this Omega. The juicer is really impressive. Very compact. Quiet. My first item through was frozen bananas using the blank and I may never buy store-bought ice cream again. Next I juiced a combo of veggies and fruits. All processed smoothly, quickly, and effortlessly. The juice is clearly superior to that of my old juicer. No froth, very cold and fresh tasting. The cleanup is NOTHING compared to my last juicer. It cleans completely and quickly; no mess stuck in the screen that you have to work at. Very few parts. Really sturdy. This is a dream juicer, and at this price it's even more incredible. I'm thrilled with it!
I wanted to get into juicing so I started researching juicers on Amazon. I originally bought the Breville BJE200XL. This juicer is very popular on this site and received good reviews. I beg to differ. It was cumbersome, difficult to clean, and the juice didn't taste very good. I immediately returned this juicer and did more research. In my opinion, if you're serious about juicing I would highly recommend the Omega 8003. It's quiet, easy to clean, and produces great tasting, high quality juice. It's worth every penny and i'll never make the mistake of buying a centrifugal juicer again.
