Product Description

KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.

From the Manufacturer
The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.


Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.


Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.

Optional Attachments
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

"Wonderfull mixer!" 2010-09-17
By Niki
I am having so much fun with my new KitchenAid mixer! I haven't had a good working mixer for years and I am really enjoying having one again. It does a good job with all the tasks I've given it so far. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that this baby is HEAVY! I don't have space to leave it on my kitchen counter, so moving it out of the cupboard onto the counter can be a job.

"I would never wish KitchenAid customer service on even my worst enemy.." 2010-09-14
By K. Thomas
I received this mixer as a gift less than 2 weeks ago. It ran okay the first time I used it but that was short lived. While making a very light frosting the beater started to skip and hesitate. I noticed sparks coming from the inside of it as well as the smell of something electrical burning. After turning it off I called customer service and explained all of this to them in detail. They did not sound the least bit surprised by it. The woman on the phone had me convinced that I was crazy and told me "it's like a new pair of shoes, you just need to break it in. The machine isn't used to being ran". She told me to just let it run a while longer, I told her I was worried about doing that because of the sparking and the smell. Again, she made me feel crazy and told me all of their mixers do this. I for some reason believed her and went home to let it run with the results being the same. I call them back the following day and they asked if I could hold my phone up to the mixer so they could listen. Are you kidding me? I couldn't help but laugh at the request. My word wasn't good enough, you want to attempt to identify the problem by listening to it? I humored her and did so. Moments after hearing it she tells me that isn't a normal sound. Really? Thank you for assuring me that I am not crazy. I called because I knew it wasn't normal. I asked if she could identify the problem based on the sound and was told she couldn't. I can't help but think that's a lie because of the 3 times I called none of the reps sounded at all surprised by my problem. My new mixer is on its way but I can't say I am as excited for it. I only used this first one a couple times and already had problems, clearly the design is cheap and I fear it may happen again.

  
"Wish it was "new"" 2010-09-14
By g3y9 (Hawaii)
I was so excited to receive this mixer! I'd wanted one for years. I opened the box and almost cried! It was scratched and scraped, but that's not the worst part. There was someone's food remnants still stuck in the bowl. I clearly got a used one. For as much as I paid, I expected atleast a NEW one. I won't even bother with a replacement from Amazon. I just want my money back. That's unsanitary and unethical.

  
"Non-functional from time of purchase" 2010-09-12
By M.W.
I recently purchased this model of mixer (in red) and was disappointed to find that the product was broken right out of the box. Specifically, the mixer makes a high-pitched squeal when in operation, even if none of the attachments are in place. Of course I cannot be sure whether the shipping process or the manufacturing is to blame, but if you are considering ordering a KitchenAid online for the discount, keep in mind the possibility that you will pay it back in wasted time and shipping fees.

Amazon.com Review

You don't need a 6- gallon oil vat to enjoy deep- fried foods at home--this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil. A compact 7 inches in diameter, the fryer features easy controls for precision frying: it automatically maintains the proper frying temperature, letting you focus on cooking instead of fussing with the controls. The fryer features a snap-on lid, so you can store oil right in the fryer for reuse. All surfaces are nonstick for tidy cleanup (the fryer is not dishwasher-safe and should never be completely immersed in water). A hand scoop is included with the fryer for easy stirring, lifting, and draining, and the 120-volt AC cord unplugs from the outlet, while the attached handle makes the fryer easy to move around the kitchen. The fryer has a two-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

"DO NOT get this for fried chicken." 2010-09-12
By Cliff
It runs about 25 degrees too hot. The breading will be way too dark by the time the meat is thoroughly cooked. I had to learn that the hard way. The people saying they're cooking wings must be using frozen pre-cooked wings or something. Egg rolls and chimichangas didn't come out great in this thing either. Everything else has been fine. I'd only use this unit for small things that don't require a lot of cooking time like fritters or seafood. Also, don't put the lid on until the unit is cooled down, or else it will melt.

  
"It works, but...." 2010-09-07
By dynamok (MN)
It will fry, but:
you have find a lid to cover it there is nothing that will tell you that you're ready to frythe bottom gets very hot

  
"great" 2010-08-19
By M. Heon (Philadelphia, PA USA)
frying became a lot easier with this. we should have bought it long time ago. This doesn't have a temperature controller but still works fine.
new model released with it. if you think of buying this, go get new model with temp. controller

  
"Fucntional. Compact. Accurate. Straightforward. 5 stars." 2010-08-18
By J. MACLEAN (Centreville, VA.)
Primarily I bought this because I like to make french fries at home (steak-frites anyone?), and I had grown tired of doing it in the stockpot, and guessing at the temperature. To be sure, this is basically a bucket that holds oil. But it's one that has the ever important feature of automatically heating to 375F. That's really all I need and want. It doesn't have a bunch of features, save for the automatic heating and quick release plug. And that's what I wanted.

Objectively, it's not huge, so it's hard to imagine producing fries for more than a pair of 200 pound adults, but for some items, you may be able to cook for 3-4 people, especially if it's a side and not an entree. For making Tonkatsu, for example, I've also used this FryDaddy, and it will hold 2 breaded pork chops.

Be aware the unit is hot to the touch, so it's a good idea to avoid touching the outside for the first 30 minutes after turning it off.

My conclusion is it's efficient for cooking for up to 2 people, but for more, except for children, you'd need to look at a larger capacity unit. With those expectations, I consider it compact, functional, and and an accurate heater of oil. It does what it's designed to do and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

  
"Good gift!" 2010-08-17

"my little workhorse" 2010-09-08
By melissa (Humble, TX United States)
This is one of the small kitchen appliances that I use the most. I don't really use the special slicing or grating blades that much (although the slicing blade is perfect for apple pie), but I chop and puree the heck out of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, as well as making sauces and things that need both chopping and emulsifying. The capacity is perfect since I'm usually cooking for just me - there have only been a couple of times I was chopping for a large dinner and wish I had the larger one.

I also appreciate that it's loaded with multiple safety mechanisms to make extra sure that you don't accidentally chop your hand off.

  
"Cusinard Pro classic" 2010-08-29
By Kristina
I really , really , really like this food processor. It is a great time saver and has brought my cooking to a new level because who has a lot of time these days... Clean up is a unbelievably easy. Now I want to cook all the time! I actually go out of my way to find recipes that include lots of ingredients requiring chopping, slicing, dicing and grating. Before I used to avoid these types of recipes because I couldn't stand having to do all the prep work. This is the best thing I have bought myself in a long time. I can't believe it has taken me so long to buy a food processor. I think this is the best food processor - it's very easy to use, the instruction book & video are clear and understandable. While I'm sure the bigger, fancier processors can do a lot more, this one is perfect for me since it is easy to clean, simple to understand and easy to use.

"Put my Kitchen Aid to shame!" 2010-09-12
By zac thomas (Asheville, NC)
It's sweet! Feels a bit cheap in the controls, plastic buttons but who cares. The jar, sharp blades, lid are all exactly like my parents Osterizer they got for their wedding in the 60's (which is still going strong). I make smoothie-whey protein shakes everyday (juices, yoghurt, apple sauce, whey protein, ice cubes, frozen strawberries-blackberries-blueberries, flax seed) all this stuff fills it to the top and the Oster made short work of it. Ten seconds or less. I think I kept it running longer just because I was used to my Kitchen Aid blender that I ran at multiple speeds plus pulse and still had chunks left over.

Anyway, it's cheap, it's basic, it works better than high dollar blenders. I blend daily, I'm totally happy. 'nuff said.

  
"Oarwe blender really works." 2010-09-07

Purchased this to replace a Procter Silex blender I just bought that does nothing. The Osster blender will take ice cubes and make it as fine as snow. Makes smoothies that are smooth. Bought this on Consumer Reports best buy rating, and it is great.

"Don't waste your money" 2010-08-25
By Gregory MacDonald
I purchased this rice cooker mainly to cut down on the time required keeping track of brown rice. Not only does it not save any time or hassle, it doesn't even do white rice well. Regardless of ratio of rice to water, setting etc. the rice (white and brown) always ends up sticking or burning and usually undercooked until I add more water and try to bring it back to an edible state. The company has been totally unresponsive to several attempts to figure out why this piece of junk doesn't work.

  
"Works Well" 2010-08-15
By Beverly J. Hall (St. Paul, MN USA)
Does a good job of steaming vegetables. I haven't used it to cook rice yet. The one thing I was a little surprised to discover is that while there is a delay timer to start the cooker at a preset time, it does not have a timer to cook the veggies, unless I missed something. I have to use a separate timer but it does the job. A little nit is there is a clear plastic piece that captures the water condensation when the lid is opened. The manual says nothing about this since it needs to be drained after each use. It is easy to take out the piece, wash it and replace it but I was surprised the manual didn't mention it.

  
"does what it has to do perfectly...." 2010-08-13
By Pramod Padal (NJ)
Did I mention perfectly.... yes every time.... After using for 5 month now... I can say that...
I am from India... we eat rice a lot.... and I cook rice in variety of forms... like Veg Pulao, Veg Biriyani, Tomato rice, shrimp Pulao.... etc... What ever I Cook, I was never disappointed.....

I had couple of different, even cheaper rice cookers like Black and Decker and some thing else....

I always used to blame the rice, for making the rice too soft or sticking a lot at the bottom.... when both of my cookers became old enough, I was looking for something good.... so I was researching on Amazon this time instead of just picking some thing from Wal-Mart.... so after some 100 good reviews.... I gave it a shot.... and guess what...peace of mind.

Cons: however I found one Issue... when I finish cooking and take it on to dining table... it does not come with a glass top. Not a big issue, but that would have been a lot of Convenient.

  
"Think twice before you buy!" 2010-08-09
By Lisa Zurek (Santa Maria, CA United States)
We bought one of these at Costco. It was to replace an old rice cooker that we had had for 8+ years--the plastic finally cracked. This rice cooker looked really modern. It was a piece of garbage. Although the first time or two it was fine---the steam opening on top would spill over into this sticky mess and I would burn my fingers trying to clean it off the top of the lid before it streamed down the sides. I thought that maybe I should rinse the rice out and get rid of some of the starch. Didn't work. Thankfully, I was able to return it (with no receipt!) and get a full refund.

"Pool-side Ice Cream" 2010-08-25

My grandchildren had fun playing with the ball at the swimming pool. The ice cream was great for a hot summer day. This product is a great outdoor activity.

  
"Mmmm! Just follow directions!" 2010-08-16
By Katherine Steigman (Austin, TX)
Here's the basics:
- The ice cream came out delicious. I made mine with 1 part heavy whipping cream, and 1 part half and half so it was creamy and the consistency was lovely. The two varieties I've made are chocolate chip/blackberry ice cream, and peach ice cream-- both were great.

- FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Most of the bad reviews seem to be because people didn't follow the directions. You have to stop and scrape the sides, add some ice, and continue throwing the ball back and forth for another 8-10 minutes. For those who said they couldn't get the top off, there is a tool that they provide you with if the lid gets too tight. Just read the very short instructions and you should be fine.

- Probably not great for small kids. My boyfriend and I made ice cream with this when we went camping. I have the pint-size one, and it was pretty heavy throwing it back and forth. It wasn't very difficult, but if you dropped it on your foot or didn't catch it right, it would hurt.

  
"Ice Cream Freezer Ball really works!!!" 2010-07-25
By DesertKat
This product is great. I first found out about it on Unwrapped (The FOOD Channel). I purchased the quart size and it was more than enough for the 5 of us. We took it to the park for a Fourth of July picnic and we really made a hit! We didn't have quite enough ice in the ice chest but was able to get some from the neighbors. It is easy to use. My only reccommendation is to use all half and half, the whipping cream was way too rich. The kids loved it.

Product Description

Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Bakery with 4 Baking Modes

Amazon.com Review

Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well. The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer

There's nothing quite like the warm aroma of freshly baked homemade bread from the oven. With the help of this user-friendly bread machine, even those with a busy, on-the-go schedule can enjoy this simple pleasure--without the time-consuming hard work normally associated with baking bread. Just add ingredients, press a few buttons, and it takes care of the rest.

Soft-touch control panel with LCD digital display and 13-hour preset timer.

Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough

Bake loaves of white or whole wheat bread for slicing and slathering with butter and jam or for making sandwiches. Create croissant or pizza dough for shaping by hand and baking in the oven. Make the classic fruitcake to serve during the holidays. From basic recipes to custom creations, the bread machine produces delicious results--and without the additives and preservatives found in store-bought brands. A recipe book with over 50 original bread and dough recipes comes included.

Customizable Settings

The unit's top-access, soft-touch, push-button control panel with an LCD digital display helps ensure easy programming. Choose from three different loaf sizes (medium, large, or extra large) and the crust color (light, medium, or dark). It also offers up to six different types of bread or dough options--Basic, Whole Wheat, Multi-Grain, French, Pizza, and Cake. Baking modes include Bake Only (great for fruitcakes, gingerbread, and teacakes); Rapid Bake (reduces the baking time of basic and whole-wheat breads); Raisin (offers an audible beep to signal when to add raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the dough); and Sandwich (produces bread with a soft crust). Dough modes include Pizza, Rolls, and Raisin Dough. Best of all, the appliance comes equipped with a digital timer, which can be set up to 13 hours in advance--great for waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a warm loaf will be ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner.

Choose from 3 loaf sizes and 3 crust shades from light to dark.

Healthy and Nutritious

Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and making choices between a variety of options, homemade bread can be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and older family members alike. High in fiber and low in fat, bread contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron for healthy bones and teeth. Add nutrient-rich eggs to the recipe or choose whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but they're also another way to add to the overall health factor.

Yeast dispenser automatically adds yeast at optimal time to ensure perfect results.

Ultimate Convenience

Thoughtfully designed, the bread machine also supplies a YeastPro automatic yeast dispenser. Just add a measured amount of yeast into the holder on the unit's lid, and the machine will automatically dispense the yeast in with the other ingredients at the perfect time for optimal results. Even more, the unit's inner bake pan comes fitted with a wire handle (use an oven mitt when hot) for easily removing it from the appliance when the bread has finished baking. The pan's nonstick coating allows baked bread to slide easily out of the pan onto a cutting board or a wire rack to fully cool for easier slicing.

Inner bake pan offers built-in handle and nonstick coating for effortless bread removal.

Unique Design for Professional Results

Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing window. The absence of a viewing window allows a more even reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color. The machine also benefits from a unique temperature-control program that automatically optimizes the temperatures and times for each stage of the process. Its comprehensive microprocessor program makes slight adjustments as needed to ensure perfectly baked bread regardless of conditions like climate and room temperature.

Panasonic delivers excellent results regardless of different types of ingredients used, different seasons, and different room temperatures.

In addition to the recipe book, accessories include a measuring spoon, a measuring cup, and a kneading blade that fits onto the base of the inner pan for thoroughly mixing ingredients. Other highlights include a top-loading locking lid, a handy indicator light to show when the baking or dough cycle has completed, a safety fuse for peace of mind, and power-interruption protection that allows the baking process to resume even when there's an interruption in power for approximately 10 minutes or less. All parts should be hand washed only. The small appliance comes in a compact design that fits neatly on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt bread machine measures 13-3/8 by 9-1/16 by 14 inches, weighs about 15 pounds, and carries a one-year limited warranty.

"Best Bread Machine Ever!" 2010-08-28
By Fredericks Workshop
I have owned as many as 5 bread machines prior to purchasing the Panasonic SDWD250, this is the easiest and best machine I have ever used, and the bread comes out fantastic! My first bread machine also was a Panasonic Mod. SD BT6D over 30 years ago, I went through 3 bread pans and could not purchase parts for it any more, so I went to several other brands some over $200.00 and they were terrible machines could not even get the bread out of the bread pan do to the stupid double mixing paddles, both of the same manufacturer, I now use them for making dough only! I am extremely pleased with my Panasonic SDWD 250, I do not believe there is a better bread machine that will even come close to this one.

  
"Great machine, worth the $$$" 2010-08-26
By Matt (Grand Rapids MI)
This is a very decent machine at a mid-level price. Tons of features (more than I know what to do with, but not overwhelming). We've tried 25+ recipes with this machine and have been happy with how it functions on all kinds of bread. We did develop a slight problem where a bracket that holds the heating element in place broke; it has not affected the cooking of bread. We are contacting Panasonic for a replacement part. Good product otherwise.

  
"great bread maker" 2010-08-23
By James Sanborn
I bought the Panasonic (SD-YD250) to replace a tried and true breadman bread maker that I had used for many years. I wanted something that would be as reliable and that made a more elongated loaf. I did some research (friends and on-line) and decided to try the Panasonic. I am very pleased with my purchase. The bread it makes is fantastic! I've tried many of the included recipes and have not been disappointed. I have made my old stand-byes from when I used my other machine and they have also been great. The Panasonic seems well made, it's quiet, has easy-to-use controls and is easy to load and clean. I can't attest to its longevity but after a month it is doing well with making daily loaves. I can smell a loaf baking as I write this (french setting - very nice) and am looking forward to slicing into it for dinner.

  
"Best Breadmachine Ever!!" 2010-08-17
By J. Davis (Chehalis, WA)
This is the third Panasonic machine we have had!! (You might say we are a Panasonic family!) The first one we inherited; boy, were we surprised making that first loaf!!!We liked the machine so much--when it died, we bought our second Panasonic machine. After having it for a few years, it quit mixing properly---so now have our third and new--"what else" Panasonic SD-YD250, and absolutely LOVE it. Wouldn't buy anything else!! We use it almost daily and it is a super machine you can depend on to give you a great loaf everytime. (Just don't forget putting yeast in the little dispenser.) I have nothing bad to say about this machine, it rates really well and deserves that rating--it is a great, great machine. This machine costs a little more, but worth every cent!!! Now I have bought all of my three children one just like it for their families. They are that good!!!

  
"Great machine" 2010-08-16
By Jason P. Skrzypiec (Newport News, VA)
I have had this product under a week, and have already made a few loaves. The raisin bread recipe really surprised me. It has you add the fruit an 1-2 hours in to the cycle to prevent crushing them. I had thought that would result in just a glob of raisins in one section, and nothing in the rest. I WAS WRONG. Raisins were evenly spread throughout the entire loaf. The "french bread" came out a little denser than I was expecting, but the taste was amazing. The wife is setting the timer so we can have some fresh honey wheat ready for breakfast in the morning. Cleanup is easy. The included manual has 42 recipes in it, and the variety is pretty good. They even include some ancient breads.

The only down side is the long time for the cycle to complete. Our last machine (a $50 Walmart special), would have most options done in under 2 hours. The average cycle time for this one if 4 hours, but that is due mainly to long rise periods and an ingredient rest period prior to the cycle.
For a link to the manual go to :

If you are considering buying a bread machine, and obviously you are, buy this one. The quality of the machine and loaves, combined with the low price, makes it a winner.

Amazon.com Review

A waffle baker, grill, and griddle, this three-in-one appliance comes in handy during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after school. Key to the unit's versatility are two 8-inch-square cooking plates--one set into the product's bottom and the other into the hinged top. On one side the plates form grids for making four waffles at once. Flipped over to show their flat sides they're capable of top and bottom grilling a sandwich or steak. To create griddle space, the top opens up flat, forming two 8-inch-square cooking surfaces for all foods that love a griddle--such as pancakes, hash browns, and eggs. Channels send grease to spouts in the griddles' corners, where it drains away. Nonstick to release food easily and wipe clean, the cooking plates also can be removed for scrubbing. A heat control offers high, low, and medium temperatures. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 900-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the unit upright for compact storage. It measures 11-1/4 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 11-3/4 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

"It's not non-stick" 2010-08-28
By Pam Meyer
The few times I have tried to use this waffle iron the waffles have stuck so bad that I had to soak and scrub them off. I just stuck the waffle iron in the closet out of frustration. I even oiled it before pouring the batter on to see if that would help. It didn't. I've never had such a bad waffle iron.

  
"Very Disappointing" 2010-08-25
By M. Baker (Louisville, KY)
I've had this appliance for several years and used it lightly (2x per month). The plates have never heated evenly - one side was always hotter than the other. Now it's so bad the waffles only get done on one side.

  
"Couldn't even use it once!" 2010-08-24
By joeshmoe (MA)
Despite some negative reviews, I purchased this waffle iron to replace my old one. My old one was the exact same design, but by another maker (Grill Max, I think). My previous waffle iron was amazing and lasted seven years. I used it about 4 times a month for the last 5 years. No really. I love waffles. I never had any issues with it, until one day something blew and it wouldn't power on anymore. So I decided to try the Black and Decker version. Maybe I just got a defective one. But the bottom plate wouldn't stay on. It kept popping off...as soon as I got it out of the box. I certainly can't cook with a waffle iron if the plate won't stay down on the heating element.

Thank you Amazon for making returns easy.

  
"Good for Waffles" 2010-08-23
By Toterose
Trying to save space and time, I purchased this waffle baker to replace a much smaller one and a very nice Cuisinart Griddler for pancakes. And since I only seem to make waffles and pancakes when we have a crowd, I wanted them to come out fast and plenty. The new B&D Waffle Baker does a great job on the waffles, but used as a griddle, heats unevenly. We love the waffles and the ease of cleaning. Overall, a good choice, but not as good outside the waffle making. I guess I'l have to make space for both the B&D and the Cuisinart!

  
"Waffles" 2010-08-21
By Fred
Overall, the waffle iron is almost identical to the one I bought 30 yrs ago. Works well except it cooks quicker on one side than the other. Not a deal breaker but not preferable. Much better than anything I found on the shelf at any of the box stores.

"Great product!" 2010-08-17
By Christopher DeSantis (New York)
Exactly what I was looking for. Size is perfect and it's quite powerful. Can't beat the price :-)

"Cheap microwave broke after 3 months" 2010-08-16
By Tihomir Piskuliyski
Very cheaply made. Seemed like an ok buy especially since I don't use a microwave all that often. After 3 months it stopped working. The motor would work for 10 sec and then stop for 5 while the plate in the microwave is still rotating.

  
"Sharp Microwave adequate for limited needs and price" 2010-08-05
By Judith K. Campbell
Limited size kitchen accomodates this microwave. Size was deciding factor. I don't use it for anything fancy.

"Sharp looking too!" 2010-08-02
By Beach Bird (Clearwater, FL United States)
Our purpose for a microwave is warming up food and heating water for tea. This is perfect being a small size and more than powerful enough to cook if we needed to. Very happy with everything of the Sharp brand I have ever bought, this is a another great product.
