"Hand Mixer Update" 2010-09-27
By Pete Adkins
As always from Amazon, I received my item promptly in the mail. The reason I ordered the Cuisinart HM-70 mixer is because the mixer I had finally broke after more than twenty years of faithful service. I have plugged in and turned on the mixer, but have not actually used it yet. It seems to have a good motor in it and I like the design of the beaters that come with it. I am a big stainless steel fan so that is one of the features that I like about it. Sorry that I don't have more to say but may update this review after I have had cause to use the mixer. I plan on making cheese cake in October which was a strain on my old mixer. We'll see how this one does.

16OCT10

Okay, I just finished making my cheese cakes and the mixer performed very well and was much better than the old one that I had been using. There was some sort of electrical oder coming from the unit as I used it but I will file this under normal for now. Works great and cleans up nicely. Very easy to use. Have no regrets or second thoughts about my purchase.

  
"I returned after a few uses" 2010-09-20
By kab (Chicagoland area)
I was so excited to receive this mixer, but was only left feeling extremely disappointed. The mixer shook terribly in my hand on any speed I used it on. I would double, triple check to make sure all the beaters were secure, and they always were. Additionally, the slow speed power up was hardly of one, and even the low speeds were very fast beating. I could not get used to the mixer; I returned it to Amazon.com.

  
"excellant mixer" 2010-09-20
By G. Robinson (CO)
I reserve 5 stars for products that exceed expectations. This mixer is an excellent tool and works as described.

The Good:

Lots of power
Multiple speeds let you select the best one for the job
Less splatter than most hand mixers.


The Bad:

The fan is noisy (not horrid but still).

Can splatter if you just pile up the flour and then crack a couple eggs into it like for some breads and pizza dough or lift the beaters out of the material with the motor running. (Well Duh don't do that).

The Ugly:

Not a replacement for a stand mixer--well unless you consider the light duty ones.
Can produce a lot of torque in heavy dough, hard on those of us with arthritis.
Overall a excellent mixer at a very good price.

  
"Gets the job done." 2010-09-20
By Billy T. Kid (California)
Easy to use. Beaters are easy to clean. My only complaint is a slight wobble as if the mixer is out of balance. It seems like the shape of the beaters which are not symmetrical is causing the wobble. Otherwise, it's a good value and has plenty of power.

"Cuisinart 12 cup food processor blows Kitchenaid away!!!" 2010-10-13
By luvtocook
I recently purchased the Kitchenaid 12 cup food processor. After using it for 3 weeks, I returned it for the 12 cup Cuisinart, and so glad I did. They are not even in the same ball park. 1. The stem inside the bowl of the Kitchenaid is too short and liquid leaks all over the place/ The cuisinarts stem is very long, and the blade LOCKS into place. No leaks. 2. The blade locks in on the cuisinart, so if you are pouring, it stays put, not so on the kitchen aid. 3. There is a pour spout on the cuisinart and makes it easy to pour your mixtures into a bowl easily, not so on the kitchen, it makes a mess and runs down the side. 4. The blades snap on and off easily with the cuisinart. 5. the small mixing bowl blades also locks, so when you make dressing for example, you just leave it attached to the big bowl, and pour it over your meal. The kitchen aid did not, so you have to take it all apart just to simply pour from it. 6. The plastic bowls on the Cuisinart are a much higher quality than the Kitchenaid, 7. Cusinart comes with a recipe book and a VERY helpful DVD. Kitchen aid, nothing, your own your own. 7. The top to the storage case on the cusinart has hinges and a lock, so pulling it out of a cabinet is easy and pieces stay secure. The kitchenaids is cheap, and the lid falls off and the contents go everywhere.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Do yourself a favor and stick with the tried and true Cusinart, you will love it!!!! No comparison.

  
"Dough blade DOES NOT LOCK" 2010-10-11
By kitchen witch
great machine with two issues, locking system for blades is not that great. The dough blade does not lock at all. I have had it raise during dough cycle and get dough up inside dough blade housing. Messy. Rather inconvenient when using smaller bowls to have to clean ALL of them.

  
"It is pretty good" 2010-10-10
By Roberta L. Willoughby (Roscoe, IL United States)
The positive is that it works great. Easy to clean. Nice storage box. Love the retractable cord.

The negative - If you don't the the back part of the top of the machine hooked over the back part of the bottom of the machine - what a mess! Be very careful, because the machine leaks somewhat as it is, and if the top isn't on exactly right, the machine will run, but leaks really bad.

"Love it" 2010-09-20
By A. Soul (Montana)
Only gripe I have, is don't always notice the lid isn't down all the way. Handle part clicks, but the front isn't always in. Just need to double check it is all. ON the other hand, I love all the parts that come with it. The different size bowls are good to make smaller batches. I love that the cord is retractable!!!! I always keep it on the counter, but don't have room to keep all things I need, plugged in. Makes less cord mess. It is my new fave kitchen toy.

"Bad design, cheaply made cracked within a month" 2010-09-22
By Paulene Quig
The back plastic where all the wired attach to the iron is poorly made and takes all the rotational force. It cracked after a MONTH of light use. Not worth the price and very disappointing. Also uneven heating between both sides.

"Great purchase" 2010-09-17
By Diana M West
No disappointment here. Just don't overfill or it is hard to rotate. Less is best for the amount of batter used.

  
"Great Waffle Maker" 2010-09-05
By Gary Calega (Marlton, NJ United States)
This product works as advertised. If your are making waffles for 6 grandchildren at a time, you need a device that makes more than one at a time.

The only caution I have is to follow the directions exactly as to how much batter to put in the waffle iron. Do this and you'll love the results.

"Hit at the tailgate" 2010-10-01
By Barbara Schifter (Mount Airy, MD)
We have only used the fryer one time so far but do plan to use it more. We took it to a college football tailgate and made chicken wings. It worked just like it was supposed to. It did make a mess of the fryer and was some work to clean it up but that is the nature of fried oil.

"Great for steaming clams and corn" 2010-09-06
By Debby Withawye
We purchased this turkey fryer because we love to steam seafood and corn-on-the-cob and this is the best way to do it. We can have 12 people for a clam bake and do 100 clams per pot and the best part is it keeps that seafood smell outside and not in my house! Love it.

"Aids Healthy Eating" 2010-09-25
By Opiessence (Detroit, MI)
This is a very attractive item to sit out on the counter, etc. It cooks quickly. I like the outside water indicator, however, it is a little hard to see being clear water and a clear over over the indicator.

"Simple and effective" 2010-09-25
By MARK J LEFLER
Great, easy to use product. It is nice you can cook either frozen or thawed food in about the same time. Meals take under 30 minutes to make and come out tasty and healthy. If only it would clean itself...but the dishwasher safe plastics make most of the cleanup a snap.

  
"Make sure you clean the steamer out soon after steaming." 2010-09-21
By R. Sims (Springfield, MO)
I really like this steamer. It produces abundant steam and cooks very fast (must watch not to overcook foods.) I must say though it's very important to drain and rinse the cooker out soon after use. I was lazy and waited til morning to clean it and by then it was a smelly mess. I put some baking soda in it and turned it on for awhile. I then drained it well and left it out to dry.

I like this steamer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing a steamer.

"Sunbean 5891 2-lb. Breadmaker" 2010-10-02
By B. Battibulli (Albany, New York)
I really don't get into reviewing products, but I just had to for this bread maker. Before I purchased the Sunbeam, I had an expensive Breadman go bad in a very short time. Didn't have a lot of money to spend, but I bake my own bread constantly, so I saw the Sunbeam advertised on Amazon.I wasn't sure how it was going to work out because it was inexpensive. I have to say that I love this Bread machine!! It is so much better than the expensive Breadman I had. The bread comes out perfectly each and every time so far. Last time I made bread, I forgot to add the butter just as the first knead started. I stopped the machine, pulled out the bread, added the butter and threw it back in the machine. The bread came out perfect!! I really can't say enough good things about how great the bread turns out. I will never go back to spending a lot of money for a more expensive brand again. The digital readouts on this Sunbeam were much easier to read than for my Breadman. I make bread twice a week, each and every, week, so if this machine lasts (and I see no reason why it shouldn't), I think it's the best buy on the market.

  
"Disappointing Machine" 2010-09-30
By Sherry Williams (Decatur, AL)
This is my third bread machine. I bought this one when my Westinghouse died, and have never made a really good loaf of bread in it. I have to use about twice as much yeast as the recipes call for to get the bread to rise, and every loaf has almost an inch of extremely hard bread at the bottom. I'm not sure what would cause that but I am looking for a new machine.

  
"Fabulous" 2010-09-25
By Jeanne Lachance (Goffstown, NH)
I love making bread, but it is so time consuming. I decided to buy the Sunbeam bread maker and it is the best buy we have done in a long time. So delicious and recipes that come with the bread maker are great. The Sunbeam bread maker is just wonderful.

  
"Great breadmaker" 2010-09-25
By M. Wilson (Chicago, IL)
I've made two loaves so far and it's been great. The only thing I wish it had was a setting to add nuts/chocolate chips/fruit. But, I just set a timer to go off during the second knead setting and it wasn't a big deal. The basic bread recipe came out perfectly. I also found a Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Bread recipe online and it came out well, too!

T-Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle

Product By T-Fal     (144 customers reviews)

Lowest Price : $39.99 

Technical Details

• 1750-watt high-speed kettle boils 7 cups of water in just 5 minutes
• On/off button located on handle; boil-dry protection with automatic shut-off
• Variable temperature control; lifts off corded power base for cordless pouring
• Exterior water-level indicators; concealed heating element; anti-scale filter
• Measures approximately 8 by 11 by 8 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Product Description

T-fal's new high-speed kettle employs 1,750 watts of electric power to bring 1 cup of cold water to a rolling boil in one minute. With the kettle filled to its 7-cup capacity, a full boil is achieved in five minutes. That makes the kettle ideal for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or instant soups. To ensure that the water doesn't boil away if attention is diverted, the kettle shuts off automatically once the water reaches full boil. For convenience, it lifts off its corded power base for cordless pouring, can be set on the power base in any direction, and turns on (or off) with a simple push of a button on the handle. Inside the spout there's a removable and washable antiscale filter that extends the kettle's life. With an exterior of hard, gleaming plastic, the kettle wipes clean easily. It's pleasingly plump, has water-level windows on both sides and a cord wrap underneath, and carries a one-year warranty against defects.

"Ultra so-so" 2010-10-01
By J. Carroll (baltimore)
We keep buying these kettles for some reason - 3 US models so far - and they keep breaking down after 3 years or so. In every case, the electric connection to the base has deteriorated. You can fiddle with it with a pair of needlenose pliers and keep it limping along for a while, but only a while. Even with with the heavy but non-abusive daily use we subject them to, there's no reason these things shouldn't be able to last longer. The one we have now looks practically new except for that screwed up connection. It's just bad engineering.

Why have we continued to buy them? My wife has been using these exact kettles since her youth, although without the useless temp control and in a 220V version. Overall, we like their form and function better than other kettles. I suppose having to invest an average of $14 a year in an electric kettle (which functions in our household like the cast-iron cookstove once did in homes of yore) isn't the end of the world. But I am seriously thinking of forcing myself to habituate myself to something else just to punish this company for its lax quality.

"So far, so good..." 2010-09-27
By Spin Disorients (Shrewsbury, MA)
The kettle appears to be nicely made. It certainly heats up water very fast and the auto-off feature is great! It means you don't have to wait close by while it heats. I only have a few reservations:

1. You need to have a minimum of 0.7 liters of water in the kettle. Since I use this mostly for myself, I might have looked harder online to see if there is a smaller electric kettle on the market.

2. When brand new, the plastic gave out a lot of "new plastic" smell and taste. This went away quickly over a week or two and is now not a problem. But is it healthy to have Made-in-China plasticizers leaching into hot water that you drink? Would a kettle with stainless steel innards be healthier?

3. Like everything these days, it is Made in China. Which usually means something will break on it in a year or two and it will need to be replaced. Initial quality looks excellent (better than I expected), but I wonder about the life of these things?

  
"Nasty Plastic Taste" 2010-09-22
By S. W. DAVIS (Oakland, CA)
The product works great, but the water is undrinkable. The smell and taste of the water is of strong plastic. I'm scared to think what chemicals leached into the water to give off an odor and taste like this. I'm returning this product. I washed the kettle, I used it for over a week, but the smell remains.


"Terrific kettle!" 2010-09-21
By Nina (Northern New England)
I've been using this kettle for 6 months and I really like it! It's great for setting up the night before. Push the button and in less than 3 minutes I have water for 2 large cups of hot beverage. The best part is the temperature control dial. I cannot conceive how anyone can drink coffee at the temp it is served at in restaurants. Ouch! I use this on the lowest setting and it's still hot enough to put in liquid creamer and be perfect drinking temp. If you're taking it to go, you just turn it up. I read a complaint about the hinge. I guess I wouldn't have noticed as I have simply filled it through the spout this whole time. It stays cool on the outside and I got an additional one for my 87 yr old mother in law as it's so easy to handle and requires no stove usage. (other caregivers will understand)

The only, and I mean only, reason it didn't get 5 stars is because I wish the water didn't heat in plastic. (to be fair I did call TFal and there aren't any of the "bad" plastics in it, but...) I'd rather it was lined in stainless steel rather than just on the bottom. I imagine it is not because it would make it hard to control the heated temperature, with metal holding heat so much more. More metal, more heat, less control. As a second choice, I'd be happy if it were lined in tempered glass, like pyrex or the like. But, other than that, really it's a terrific little kettle!

  
"Strong Plastic Aftertaste and Smell" 2010-09-21
By Steven Elfant (Boston, MA)
We used this kettle for making everyday green/black tea, and occasional coffee.

Unfortunately, after 3 months of use, the water coming out of this kettle stinks of melted plastic and has a bit of a chemical aftertaste. I emailed T-FAL numerous times, with no response. Do not make the same mistake we did, if you intend to actually drink this water and taste/smell matters to you at all.

The strong points of this kettle is that it looks good, has water temperature control, and boils the water really fast. Excellent price too!

Anyone still want it? You pay shipping and its yours for free. ;)
