Usually ships in 24 hours customer 's review (It works, but....)  
(Great product)   
(I'll call it a scraper blade!)    
(What a great invention!)    
(Smooth Catering)     The beater blade is good and does clean the side of the bowl. However, I find it retains the "thinner" (ie: eggs, etc) in the middle of the blade and I have to make sure it get mixed back in by stopping and pushing it out into the batter. Also the blade retains some of the first mixed dough on the blade so it is advisable to scrape it off before you are finsihed mixing. I have used this many times over the past month and am finding that it does a VERY efficient job of mixing ingredients. I haven't had to scrape down the bowl at all. I hope that the fact that it is plastic rather than metal doesn't mean it will have a short life. That is my only concern. I really do like this beater for cakes. I don't have to wipe down the sides of the bowl. I think it mixes very well. What a difference between this and the flat paddle that comes with the Kitchen aid mixer! I have the 6 quart mixer, and I have always had to stop the machine during mixing to scape the bowl. Well, I don't anymore thanks to the Beater Blade. It incorporates ingredients perfectly and very quickly too. No more scraping necessary! I liked this product because it cuts mixing time. When your doing bigger jobs, such as those that the 6 qt handles this is your friend, in a time crunch. This product deserves an award for Best Kitchen Gadget Innovation of the year. I also love it because although it's a light weight plastic, it doesn't chip like the coating on the good quality kitchenaid beaters when you tap them on the side of the bowl to get the batter off. I don't like the burnish beaters that come with the 6qt because they are not dishwasher safe and these are. But don't let the light weight plastic fool you into thinking it can't handle thick batters, it can! This was a perfect fit for my 6 qt mixer.I wrote a review for the smaller beater blade as well because I like the product so much I included another review here after using both beater blades. BeaterBlade continuously beats, scrapes, folds and mixes ingredients for KitchenAid 5-qt. Plus and 6-qt. Stand Mixers. Virtually eliminates hand scraping and batter build-up on the beater or bowl. Ingredients are thoroughly incorporated ensuring foolproof mixing and baking preparation. BeaterBlade can also be used for mashed potatoes, compound butters, meatloaf, pie fillings, gum paste and more!Patented BeaterBlade ???wing-system??? design acts like a wiper blade that continuously scrapes sides and bottom of bowl while it mixes. Cuts mixing time by as much as 50%. Perfect for cakes, cookies, frostings, quick breads&much more. BeaterBlade is not recommended for bread dough, ultra thick cookie dough and some frozen foods. If the batter becomes too thick, revert to your traditional flat beater. Rerations < New Metro Design Beater Blade for KitchenAid 6-Quart Mixers, White >

(The BEST that my MONEY CAN GET! BYE BYE DULL KNIVES!)    
(just not worth the cost) 
(Works as advertised)    
(Yes, it really does work)     I learned how to sharpen knives, sisors, shears, lawnmover blades... This is do in 30 seconds what would take me an hour. It's well worth the money if you like your knife sharp. My mom has bought it for 2 years. It makes knife-sharpening so easy that all our adult family members can do it. Now, she's very happy and proud of her knives. Before that, there were many times, she's very frustrated because she could not cut the meat. She had to keep buying new knives when the old ones get dull. The majority of them cost approximately $25 a piece or more.
To use it sucessfully, you have to read the manual carefully first. Then, it will take 5 to 7 minutes to make a knife very sharp.
However it does not work in 3 situations below.
1. It does not sharpen serrated knives good enough. I believe it's because the structure of that kind of knives. I've never heard of any other sharpeners that can do this.
2. If your knife is a cheap one, this machine won't work. For example, the knifes that cost about 5 dollars or less, this sharpener won't help. It's because of the cheap steel of the knife. It's meant to be thrown away after getting dull. No sharpener can fix it.
3. If your knife has been sharpened many times. How many times are many? It depends on the knives. For expensive ones, the steel is good and there is a large amount of it on the knife blade. For cheaper ones, the amount of real steel is little. After being sharpened many times, the real steel section is gone. What is left is the section with bad steel. This area can't be sharpened at all. this product just does not do what it was intended to do as well as the cost should make it do.
i am certainly not happy with the outcome. I just received this as a gift. After reading the well-written instructions, I went to work sharpening my loved but neglected kitchen knives. Twenty minutes later all my knives were razor sharp. It was very easy to use and did an excellent job. I'm going to try to sharpen my pocketknives but I don't expect the small blades will work as well. Without too much effort you really can get a knife sharp enough to shave with. Literally. The newest breakthrough in sharpening technology, the M130, presents all your sharpening options in one compact appliance. It professionally sharpens, steels or strops all brands and types of knives; straight edge or serrated, kitchen, Asian style, sports and pocket knives in seconds. Three stages make it possible to obtain a "better than factory" edge quickly and effortlessly. Stage 1, using 100% diamond abrasives, sharpens the edge. Stage 2 is a super-hardened miniature steel that develops a shaving sharp edge with ultra-sharp microscopic teeth, providing a superior edge "bite". In stage 3, a revolutionary flexible stropping disk polishes the edge to hair-splitting sharpness. Using these stages in different combinations produces custom edges, suited to a particular cutting task. Built-in, high precision, user friendly elastomeric angle guides guarantee fool-proof sharpening. Rerations < Chef's Choice M130 Professional Knife-Sharpening Station, Platinum >

Braun(2005-10-01)
customer 's review (Lives up to reviews received)    
(Hot Coffee)    
(filter door flips open - causes mess)  
(Great coffee, brewed fast!!)    
(Bad Coffee) We bought this product only after reading all the positive reviews on many different sites. We haven't been disappointed---the coffee is hot and stays that way for the one plus hours it takes for us to finish a pot in the morning. Very satisfied. The one thing I have found lacking in most coffee machines is the ability to produce a hot cup of "joe". However, this Braun makes it hot&keeps it hot. I also appreciate the hot plate turning off automatically after 2 hours. Great product! I got this Braun as a replacement for my 10 year old Braun. 2 complaints-
1) I've noticed a plastic taste with several coffee makers..I'll live with the Braun for 2 weeks and see if it dissipates...if not it goes back. Krups was by far worse in the plastic taste department, so at least Braun it might be OK with some time.
2) The spring loaded filter door latch doesn't firmly hold the filter in the closed position. It pops open and water drips everywhere, since the coffee filter is in the "out" position. I initially used scotch tape to hold the filter door closed. Then I partly disassembled the top and removed the torsion spring. Now the door stays closed. The button to release the door is not needed anyway. For years I just pulled the filter door in or out, and never thought anything fancier gizmo was needed.
I'd have been happier if Braun spent money on better plastic materials with less outgassing...I don't like drinking plastic-flavored coffee.
This coffeemaker did everything it was advertised to do. It brews delicious coffee with ease in the blink of an eye. Seriously the fastest brewing machine I have ever seen. The design, in typical Braun fashion is well thought out in that it has only four buttons-On/Off, Auto, and hours and minutes. By holding down the On/Off you can program when your machine should automatically shut off (I set mine at 1 hour and 12 minutes). By holding down the Auto button you can set the time for when you want your brew to begin. Other machines have had a separate button for each of these functions, and not only is it intuitive but it just makes sense! In a word it is excellent. This purchase was very disappointing. Although it's attractive, it is designed in a strange way in regard to the basket and how it attachs to the rest of the product. No instructions about this and putting it together was a real headscratcher for a klutz like me. Unfortunately, it turned out to make rather bad coffee as well. If I want a decent cup of coffee,I'm afraid I will be forced to buy a replacement for this product. Wake up to freshly brewed coffee with this Braun KF590E Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker. Not only does it provide a 24-hour timer for pre-set automatic brewing, but it also offers programmable automatic shutoff for setting the unit to turn off anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours after brewing. The coffeemaker's fast-brewing technology delivers hot, fully extracted and aromatic coffee. Removing the carafe pauses the brew cycle, which allows for pouring a cup midbrew. Its 54-ounce glass carafe provides a handy water-level indicator and a distinctive non-slip open-handle design for simple pouring. The unit's exclusive, filter basket-release button makes it simple to remove the basket and conveniently place it on the countertop for easy filling or cleaning. Other highlights include an LED digital clock and timer, a pilot light and preset brewing indicator, an integrated cord-storage compartment, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. The unit comes with a permanent gold-tone filter and a Brita water filter, which prevents calcification, significantly reduces chlorine, and improves coffee flavor.

(Love it)    
(Hot Shot a must have)    
(Hot Shot Wins My Respect)    
(Great Product!)     I really enjoy having access to HOT water almost INSTANTLY. It is very fun pouring water onto this device and knowing that it will be hot in seconds. For the price you pay to get access to INSTANT hot water this device is priceless. Now i dont have to get a headache whenever i want to make hot coffee or a soup! We have been using this Hotshot for a couple of years. It was a Xmas present from a friend who has been using one for over 20 years; obviously this is a newer model. It has replaced my cumbersome teapot and now my husband uses a French press for coffee instead of a coffee maker. So our kitchen seems a little less cluttered. It's very quick, even at a mile high. We leave a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup in it. No leaks in ours! I have used hot shots for years. I would be lost without it. Every kitchen should have one. Great for instant coffee,tea,jello,soups, hot chocolate, and on and on. Quicker than a tea kettle and better than the micro. Now they come in black which goes with my other appliances. I am a happy customer. A friend introduced me to the Sun Beam Hot Shot a couple years ago. Before that time I would fill the kettle put it on the stove and wait for what seemed forever for the water to boil so I could finally enjoy a cup of tea. However with the Hot Shot all one needs to do is simply pour the amount of water the cup will require into the top of the Hot Shot, depress the activate button, and wait about 45 seconds or less...and wa-la...you have a cup of steaming hot water. It is worth every cent I paid for it and when I wear it out I will buy another one...as they are just wonderful. Love this product! Heats water in a minute or two. Works great! My only comment would be that some of my taller mugs don't fit in it. I would definitely recommend this product.

Zojirushi
customer 's review (It's OK for its Price)  
(Poor Design)
(I like the insulated carafe!)    
(This Thing Stinks)
(Zojirushi Better Than Braun Thermal)     The Good: Coffee is brewed quickly, tastes fine, and it stays hot. The Bad: It doesn't pour well. The lid is crazy and hard to line up. The #4 filters the mfg. recommends have to be cut down because they're too tall. The Bunn stainless steel pour-over is a much better coffee maker but it's also twice the money. Thermal? Even with the extra little cap provided, the stainless steel pot keeps coffee hot about 2 hours. We had a glass thermal coffee pot before which kept the coffee hot for at least 4 hours. The lid is hard to tighten,has ridges that are very uncomfortable to turn and it's hard to tell if you have it on tight. When you pour, you can only tip it so far or it spills all over. It looks very stylish on my kitchen counter, but that's the only thing I like. I wish I had my old coffee pot back, but they don't make it anymore. Be sure you buy the BD15 vs 17. This is the height of the unit and the 17" will not fit under most US counters. The carafe does keep the liquid hot for 12 hours as advertised. I don't know why people rate the turn top as difficult to loosen. You don't have to screw it down so hard-dah! I am a scuba diver and you learn to tighten the knob and then back it off just slightly...this can be true for many things in life! I switched to this type of make because I am tired of a glass carafe which has no insulatory capacity and also breaks very easily. Buy it! Just packed up my second one to be returned. I never even got to the point of making coffee. Both units leaked water out of the main tank, and not just a little. The first one leaked so bad that I had several cups of water on the counter before I dumped it back out and this was while I was trying to put coffee in the filter. Don't waste your time.
I have the Braun KF 600 and it stopped working after a few months so I purchased the Zojirushi and was pleasantly surprised. The Zojurishi brews a better, faster pot of coffee and keeps it hotter in the thermal carafe much longer than the Braun. It is also half the price of the Braun. It is rare that you find find a better product at a lower price, but the Zojirushi fits the bill. I am pretty picky about my coffee maker and I am very impressed by this product. Zojirushi Fresh Brew Coffee Maker EC-BD15 features a 1.5 liter stainless steel vacuum insulated carafe with excellent keep-warm performance for fresh tastingcoffee. Unlike other coffee makers with a burner that quickly bitters the taste of coffee, the Fresh Brew Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker comes with a stainless steel thermal carafe that keeps the coffee hot for hours without altering the taste. It also features an electric timer clock module to set the coffee to complete brewing by the desired time. Lots of folks dislike the burnt flavor that coffee gets when it sits in a glass pot over a heating element. To avoid this, coffee shops often brew right into large thermal pots to keep the coffee warm without it becoming overcooked. The Zojirushi Fresh Brew does that, too, but in home-sized batches. It looks great, too, with a glossy black body and stainless steel carafe and brew basket.To brew, lift the lid and swing the water outlet spout to one side while the filter is being loaded; the spout will return to its proper position when the lid is closed. A small red ball in the water gauge makes it extra simple to read. And an electronic clock module also serves as a timer that will start the brewer at a specified time. The carafe's lid is designed to be on during brewing, with a small cap to help keep the heat in after it's ready. The Fresh Brew also has a pause-and-serve function that stops the flow for 30 seconds while a cup of coffee is served. To clean the brewer unit, use a solution of white vinegar and water, following the instructions in the accompanying booklet. The unit is not immersible. The exterior can be wiped with a damp soft rag; do not use abrasives or scouring pads. The filter reservoir is removable; clean with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. The coffee brewer measures 15 by 12 by 9 inches (includes carafe handle when unit is completely assembled), and it uses #3 cone-shaped disposable paper filters. The Fresh Brew comes with a detailed instruction booklet. Zojirushi guarantees its products with a one-year limited warranty.--Garland Withers Rerations < Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker >

customer 's review (Rival 2 1/2 Crockpot)    
(Awesome little crock!)    
(Love this)    
(Oatmeal does burn)  
(Perfect size)     Believe it or not, I have never owned a crockpot, and I am 60 years old. I decided to purchase one and enjoy making some comfort foods for myself. I love this little inexpensive crockpot, in fact my sister says that I am going to wear it out. Even though I no longer work, I love putting everything in it, and enjoying the aroma as it cooks, and then later in the day have a wonderful meal, such as my beef barley stew, chicken soup, pineapple pork chops over rice, and now I am going to make some rice pudding and bread pudding. For the money, you could not get a better little crockpot, and I highly recommend it. Enjoy! I own four Rival sow cookers and this one gets used most. It can hold a lot more than it appears. I use it to cook small roasts, warm hot dogs for teh kids, make side dishes, for pasta dishes, to bake potatoes and yams, for rice pudding and so much more! My larger Rival crocks have had problems such as the handles breaking off from the lid or the heating element stop working, but this one keeps on going. We are a family of 6 and find so many uses for this little crock. It is a great investment and a great price! We bought this crockpot because of the great reviews and it has been great. We've used it to make stew (beans, barley, meat, and veggies). We cooked it on low for 17 hours and it was great. If you're going to cook your food for a long time, make sure to put enough water and keep it on low. If you fill it to the top, it's a full meal for about 4 people. Yes, the overnight oatmeal does get crispy/dry/burnt around the edges. The second time I cooked overnight oatmeal, I reduced the cooking time from 7 to 3 hours and it helped. Less burning. Next time I will keep it at 3 hours and add more water. Overall, it's a decent product. This size is just right for one, two, or three people. Rival is a good, steadfast brand, and I have used it for years. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY:andnbsp;andnbsp;1 YEAR Rerations < Rival 5025WG 2-1/2-Quart Crockpot >
