"Not perfect, but very good" 2010-08-28
By M. Clayson
I love my kettle- very fast heating, easy to clean and to fill, compact and always available. It is comfortable to pour, and easy to put back on it's heating element My only complaint is that it does not shut off at once after coming to a boil- it sometimes takes up to a minute of boiling before it shuts off. Despite that, I would recommend this to my friends.

 
"its really LOUD!!" 2010-08-27
By ChasingMegan (San Francisco, CA)
I bought this because a friend of mine had one. Her's is amazing. Mine, not quite as amazing. I bought this one because it has a really modern look to it. Thought the other specs would be the same all around. Ya, mine takes a while to heat the water if there's a lot of water in it. To speed things along, we always just put enough water to fill 2 cups. Plus its so loud that if you are watching tv in the next room, you won't be able to hear what you're watching.

I do like it, does the trick, but next time I'm going to ask my friend what brand she has, because although her's is plastic, it heats a full thing of water almost instantly while being really quiet at the same time. Mine is so loud I feel its about to take off into outer space!

 
"Non-plasticky boiling water in a couple minutes." 2010-08-26
By TinyPliny
This kettle is one of the most frequently-used appliances in my kitchen. I used to microwave the water for my tea or boil water over stovetop. Microwaving wastes a lot of energy and stovetop is just too slow. The Aroma kettle boils a cup of water in under a minute. It is also perfect for brewing coffee in a french press or steeping coffee the grad-student-with-a-broken-coffeemaker way. Tea tastes so much better when the water has just come to a boil.

I really like the fact that there is no major contact of the boiling water with plastic. The only places where the water does come into contact with plastic are:

a) The plastic spout/filter assembly -> I fixed this by taking the assembly off. It's totally unnecessary.
b) The small entrance to the water meter is also plastic -> I am not sure if I can take this off. I might try in the future but it seems like a very minor contact to bother about.

When I first received the Kettle, I got a defective one that wouldn't shut off on its own. It also had a few scratches on the inside wall - spotted with minor rust. I returned that piece and got a very prompt and courteous replacement from Amazon.

Overall, I am really glad I got this Kettle. It has made tea-making at home 10x easier and tastier! I am considering getting one for my office.

"how did I live without this?" 2010-08-25
By momxfive
this is one of the best purchases I have made. I always used a tea kettle on the stovetop and recently visited my son who had one of those little white hotpots[scary little appliances with no off or on switch] but a great and fast way to boil water for tea or recipes. So i went searching for a better product. After going back and forth between several products I purchased this, it is fantastic! water comes to a boil quickly and it looks great on the counter. I highly recommend this product.

  
"Worth every penny" 2010-08-24
By B. Faktorovich
Best kettle I ever had. I never turn empty kettle on because of small window that shows how much water is left in. And with plastic spacious handle, my hands do not get burned anymore. I can not imagine using something else for heating water.

"good deep fryer" 2010-08-23

"Hot to touch and loses heat" 2010-08-23
By P. Brady (Tallahassee, FL)
As much as I would like to not have to pack it up an send it back, that is what I am going to do. After two attempts, same problem. Oil loses heat dramatically and takes a LONG time to recover. The sides of the unit also get hot, very hot. Like other reviewers said, but I apparently disregarded, the steam from the unit prevents you from adjusting the temperature without getting a steam burn. Two baskets side by side or the one larger does not hold much more than my old Euro-Pro one deeper basket. Pick another fryer.

  
"Its big!" 2010-08-22
By Suzie Q (Destin Florida USA)
Ok, I just got this a few days ago. I haven't used it yet, but once I do will come back and tell you all about it, that is presuming I can lift it out of the box!! Its very big and pretty heavy. Where in the world am I going to keep this thing? Right now its on the fireplace in the family room. LOL!

  
"Smart purchase" 2010-08-19
By aspentool
I reviewed all of the fryers I could find on Amazon and elsewhere, and this one came up the winner. Many others seemed overpriced with gimmicks and reviewed poorly. For the $, this one had many more positives than negatives.

It is well made for a noncommercial fryer. I use it on the back deck to keep the cooking odors outside so the filter makes no difference to me. People complaining about the steam are not using it correctly. Expect Steam and odors. It is part of the cooking process. Some have complained that food in the basket does not get covered by oil while cooking. I do not believe they read the directions very well and are actually trying to fry while the basket is hanging on the drain hooks. Put the basket down into the fryer.

3 stars--it is not perfect and there is always room for improvement. If it breaks tomorrow I will still be happy and at this price I will buy another.

  
"excellent results" 2010-08-17
By D. L. Tripp (Texas, USA)
this little fryer works like a much more expensive product. It was a gift to my husband, and he much prefers it above our larger (and more expensive) turkey fryer.

"Finally...the perfect waffle maker..." 2010-08-19
By B. L. Dvorachek (Wisconsin)
I have been searching for the perfect waffle maker for some time. My kids love waffles for breakfast and my old cheap waffle iron no longer was functional. I purchased the heart shape waffle maker with rave reviews from Amazon but I could never get the waffles as crisp as I would have liked. If you are looking for restaurant quality...large crisp waffle...you have found the right product. Do your self a favor and pair it with the Heartland Food Product Waffle Mix sold on amazon and you will not believe your results. My search is finally over...

  
"Incredible Waffles From a Great Waffle Maker" 2010-08-15
By Anonamazon (Pennsylvania)
I purchased this waffle maker based on the great reviews on Amazon. Believe them. It's easy to use, easy to clean and makes great waffles. It's a well-designed product. The flip mechanism seems to contribute to the quality of the waffles. Crispy on both sides and soft in the middle. The griddle plates can be stored in an upright position. The timer is very simple -- you add time incrementally by pushing the minute or 30-sec buttons. The timer starts to count down about 3 seconds after you last push a button. You can't turn the alarm off once it's set, so if you find the three tone alarm to be annoying (as some reviewers have), don't use the timer. Takes about 3 minutes to make a waffle.

  
"Works fantastic!" 2010-08-15
By Russell R. Eacott (Deerfield, Mass)
Makes a perfect waffle every time. It cooks all the way through, so no undone areas and its easy to clean, store. It's a very good product for the money.

  
"lord of the rings" 2010-08-12
By leslie
I am usually a little suspicious of the negative reviews on sites. Most often, I think that if people are paying attention, the product will work. Well, go with the reviews on this one. There is a ring of nearly burnt waffle around the barely browned center. At first, I wasn't putting in enough batter and sometimes forgot to turn it over, but after correcting for those errors, the baking is consistently uneven. I'm sending this one back.

  
"Good belgian waffler" 2010-08-08
By Nataliebeth3
This is a great waffle maker that does its job just fine- delicious waffles! I like that it flips the waffle like one of the fancy ones that turn, but doesn't take up nearly as much room, or make you look like you are crazy for having one of those in your kitchen! Sure the timer is separate (and battery operated) and it doesn't automatically shut off (you have to unplug it), but who cares? The result is a delicious, restaurant quality waffle.

"Gear broke!" 2010-08-28
By Deniece Clarke
I bought this blender 4 months ago when my VERY old Sunbeam blender finally gave out. I used it almost exclusively for smoothies, however after only a couple of months one of the plastic gears on the top of the base broke off. The blender still functioned and I continued to use it since I didn't have another one. A couple of weeks later another gear broke off. It's too late to return it to Amazon. Black and Decker is offering me an exchange, but I told them I don't want another one. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, or how hard I'll lean on Black and Decker, but I sure don't recommend buying this one. Even before it broke, it only did a so-so job. I bought an Oster blender and so far it's working nicely.

 
"i like it" 2010-08-27
By Nahid
i really like the black n decker blender
i was already using one .....but for some reasons the machine or the base stopped working n i had to replace it
it does all what it says it does...except for dry chopping which i have not tried yet
a heavy duty machine that goes on for long yrs to b your companion n make ur tough jobs easier
i would definitely recommend it to a friend..

  
"Very Heavy" 2010-08-27
By MBell (Diamond Bar, CA USA)
The container is made out of a thick glass which is probably good for durability but makes it very heavy. Motor is very powerful. Have had it 4 months under light use and no problems so far. I would probably not buy it again and instead would look for one with a plastic jug that my wife could handle more easily.

  
"Great Quality - low price" 2010-08-23
By Lora Shinault
This blender is so much better quality than my old blender. Crushes ice wonderfully - and this is a quality product

  
"Good value for money" 2010-08-22
By John
I own this blender for week and it works flawlessly it is very powerful even though it has just 450W motor blades spin very fast and at first i thought it had ~800W motor when i started it first.

I mainly use it for smoothies, and i add no water just fruits and then blend them to liquid and never yet had any peaces of fruit stuck under blade, this is big plus since with my old value blender i had so many stuff stuck under the blades even though i shake it and roll i could not get it out before opening it and getting stuff from beneath the blades. You have to shake this one also (i think its true with any blender if you run it dry) if you want to chop dry fruits (or start with more liquid like oranges) then add everything else when it already has liquid juice.

It looks sleek and fits my stylish kitchen well, and not like other $25 blenders that just look cheap.

In my opinion it has too many buttons i never read manual but seems like they all spin on about same speed. So i just use Liquify button for now. It also got pulse button and Ice chopper button, the container is made out of glass.

Cons:

*No safety switch if you remove glass container from top it still spin if you press any button. This is not safe and must be careful when cleaning. Wash the container and put back on as soon as you finished (Its good idea anyway since its hard to clean blades when they have dry food on them. While food still fresh all you have to do is rinse it off with water. To clean blades pour around 1-2 glasses of water and start blender for couple seconds so blades will clean themselves, then rinse again and viola i don't even use soap since fruits dissolve in water just fine and carry no bacteria, unlike meat). If it wasn't that easy to clean i would probably not use it every morning.

*Glass container is to loose its especially bad if you shake the blender like me, i almost slip off the base while motor was running and had minor damages to rotor because of this. Good thing its fixed easy by just placing some tape on the locking mechanism of the base you will figure it out and it wont show when container is on. But again make sure you unplug it before doing so because it has no protection.
