(Awful taste) 『Based on the reviews, I ordered a 6 pack of these. BAD IDEA. We have tried a number of different varieties of pods, these are by far the worst. This stuff is so bad no one here will drink it. You might want to buy one bag and try it before ordering a 6 pack.』
(review) 『This is a bit strong, I have had other brands that are more pleasing to the taste』
(Tastes like the worst "office" coffee) 『I ordered this case of pods based on all the positive reviews, which are usually right on (thanks everybody!), but I thought this coffee tasted horrible, and was especially disappointed because I love Starbucks Sumatra and it didn't have any of the distinctive Sumatra taste. This is Sumatra BLEND. I didn't notice the "blend" part but regardless it tastes like Sumatra blended with the cheapest office coffee ever. So bad I gave it away. Sorry I can't be more specific about the flavor except to say it tastes like cheap coffee...』
(Sumatra is the best pod from Senseo) 『I've tried all of Senseo's coffee pods and by far the Sumatra blend is the best they have to offer. DH and I have been drinking this blend since it came out a couple of years ago. Even my cousin's wife, a Starbucks manager, admitted that it tasted along the lines of Starbucks coffee. This is a good buy from Amazon with their discount and free shipping with autoship. Don't bother with the flavored blends (french vanilla, hazelnut, Irish blend) they are sure to disappoint with their weak brews, try this one instead for a full bodied, rich cup that is not bitter like their dark roast.』 『Sumatra Blend is bold and intense due to its premium blend of Arabica beans selected from the mountainous regions of Sumatra and some of the finest coffee regions in the world.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (save on lunch meat) 『It slices nicely , runs smoothly and is easy to adjust thicknesses. It was also easy to clean. I previously owned a Krupps slicer that had cost $100 dollars (years ago), it was noisy and cheaply constucted . This machine already shows itself to be superior. I am sure it is a good buy, and recommend it highly.』
(Nice macine for the money) 『No one should expect a restaurant quality machine for $100. I have worked in restaurants and therefore know how nice they can be. Was I let down when I got this machine? Absolutely not! Actually I am very pleased. I have sliced meats, breads and vegetables with it and it has worked great. I needed paper thin bread for a German recipe that I have and it worked great. I needed meat cut to¼ of an inch for another recipe and again, it worked great. The blade does rotate slower than a restaurant machine so you will want to go easy as you feed the food into it but overall it is a smooth working machine. Others have said the plastic piece holding the blade in is easily broken; I have just been gentle with that piece and have had no problems. My wife and I both agree, it is a welcome addition to our kitchen appliances』
(Pretty good for home use) 『Slices through meat well. Easy to take apart and clean. The blade/motor sound like they are moving pretty slowly, but they still cut pretty quickly. We have only used this to slice proscuitto (that's the reason we bought it - It is difficult to cut proscutto thin enough without a slicer).
The pieces are heavy plastic and light metal. This is NOT one of those commercial slicers - but it does just fine for our occasional slicing needs.』
(Home deli!) 『Used slicer for the first time about a week ago and was very pleased. Purchased the unit in reponse to ever increasing supermarket deli per-pound costs, with plans to use it to slice lower per-pound cost pre-cooked bulk deli meats from warehouse/resturant supply stores. The slicer did the job on 10 lbs. of turkey, 9 lbs. of ham and 5 pounds of roast beef without much effort. Lots of power for a home use unit. Size limitations required a little downsizing of the bulk meats, and slices were not quite as thin as at the supermarket, but our savings were awesome!』
(Great product) 『Really I like this slicer going to use it mainly for slicing beef jerky.. first time i used it the meat was about an inch, inch and a half thick and I let it set out for about an hour, now you could hear the motor slow a little but it went right through it... I'm really happy with it was easy to clean, and did everything I needed it too... I know my family has used it for different things and they aren't complaining so...
Great Product Would buy it again if anything would ever happen to this one』 『Chef's Choice Model 610 Slicer is a premium gear driven food slicer. It has a reliable, smooth and powerful cool running high torque electric motor. It is a versatile, rugged slicer which features all structural components of cast aluminum and stainless steel. The large capacity food carriage retracts fully to permit slicing of extra large roasts, hams and other foods.

(I make popcorn EVERYDAY! and this does the job!!!) 『It's so easy to make fluffy yummy popcorn with this. I like adding Extra Virgin Olive Oil then popcorn and hit the "Popcorn" button on my microwave (add Salt if you like after popping ... I like using Kosher Salt). Never burns and easy to clean and store. Makes a great gift.』
(Solution for "old maids") 『I use this product almost nightly to make some plain popcorn without all the nasty chemicals contained in microwave popcorn bags. I've read some reviews saying that this leaves alot of old maids. I've found a workable solution - remove the popped popcorn from the bowl and return just the kernels back to the microwave and pop them. You can pop almost every single kernel so there is little to no waste!!』
(WELL WORTH IT!DONT WASTE MONEY ON AN EXPENSIVE ONE!) 『I am soo glad I ignored the negative reveiws because of my tight budget. As a result I got the popper in the mail and watched it VERY carefully as it popped. It never burned so I didnt wait so long that it caused scorching on the plastic. It was a little smokey the first time, so I cooked it for 30 seconds less. WOW! I now make PERFECT popcorn without even adding oil EVERY TIME! Its so great! I am so glad that I didnt get a more expensive one. Just be careful the first time you do it and it will be fine. My microwave is pretty low power and it takes me 3:30 to perfect popcorn. WOW! Tip: for lowest fat popcorn that can still retain salt spray popped popcorn with non-stick cooking spray and salt! SOOO GOOD! Popcorn is a weapon in my weight loss arsenal as I have lost 48 pounds now! Wooo-hoo! Did you know Popcorn is WHOLE GRAIN??? Well this is a quick and healthy way to make it. Save money all the way around by popping your own quickly with this affordable micro popper! U can add it to an amazon order and get free shipping like I did too! So worth it! God bless u~ Mrs. K』
(Nice idea, wish it worked better,) 『This seemed like a good idea - I like popcorn with no fat, so I thought this might replace my old Power Popper. While the popcorn it makes tastes fine, it never pops all the corn. Not even half the corn. After trying different temp settings and times, I gave up. Back to the old Power Popper.』 『Ideal for popping delicious popcorn with or without oil. Serve directly from bowl. Quick and easy popcorn, from your microwave. Dishwasherµwave safe. Make light and fluffy popcorn in about 4 minutes. Just place 1/2-cup of popcorn kernels in the bottom bowl and cover with the lid. When the popcorn has finished popping, invert the bottom bowl and lid, and you instantly have a container for your freshly popped corn. 12 cup capacity. Proudly made in the USA by Nordic Ware.』 『Made of gemstone, an unbreakable, chip-proof cookware material, the Nordic Ware corn popper efficiently transmits microwave energy directly to the popcorn kernels, popping them quickly without oil. It produces the results of a hot-air popper without an additional appliance. This oil-free method is refreshing when compared to bagged corn, because you don't have to contend with grease, salt, and artificial flavoring unless you dress the corn yourself after cooking. However, take care to monitor the progress of corn during the first use. The manufacturer lists a three-to-five-minute cook time for 1/2 cup of unpopped kernels, but as microwave ovens vary, it could take considerably less time to pop. And overcooked corn burns fast using this method. Luckily, the base and lid are designed not to warp or melt, so burned kernels won't damage them. Use this versatile popper for cooking, storing, and serving popcorn and other snacks. The popper base is also ovenproof.--Carol Gnojewski』

OXO
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The wife says it works just fine) 『The wife predominantly uses her knives but the occasonal use of a mandoline comes in handy.
Several years back my solution for a mandoline was the Bron, you know, that "the choice of chefs around the world" thingy.
My wife found the Bron cumbersome to setup/adjust and pretty much left the thing packed away and had to relearn the unit at next use.
Don't get me wrong, the Bron is an excellent device but it's meant for frequent use, it probably needs to be "broken in" to setup/adjust easily and frequent use means no extended learning curve on how not to damage the unit.
The OXO does all she needs, it's setup/adjustment is intuitive for the occasonal user and the "fear" of damaging an expensive kitchen gizmo is non-existent.
』
(V-Blade Oxxo Mandoline) 『Excelent. easy to use. Offcourse, it's made of plastic and obviously it bends. What you expect?』
(waste of money) 『So I got this about a year ago, and it's only been good at taking up valuable space in my kitchen tool drawer. It worked great for about the first two or three uses, but then the blade got dull and despite all my best efforts I can't seem to get a good edge on the thing since it's more than a little tricky to hone a v-blade or a julienne blade all of which were dull when I got the mandolin. The set up of some of the other blades has been difficult and more than a little counterintuitive, not to mention dangerous. The plastic deck at the tip of the V isn't nearly sturdy enough so if you have to use any pressure on the food you're slicing, and you will, it dips down and then none of the slices are thin or uniform enough. The safety guard is an unweildy mess and I end up having to ditch it after a few seconds, which, you know is a great feature for a safety device. This thing is only good on softer veggies, or hard veggies that have been boiled to tenderness prior to use from what I can tell. Don't use this if you're trying to cut anything denser and harder than a boiled skinless yukon gold potato. Oh, yeah, and I think the only thing that's been sliced effectively on this thing after the first three uses has been my hand on more than one occassion. I'm not a novice with this stuff since I've cooked in restaurant kitchens before.』
(What fun!) 『We got this off our wedding registry and are having a blast with this! We made homemade French Fries followed by homemade crinkle cut potato chips the same day we got it- delicious! It was really easy to use and very safe (especially for someone as clutzy as I am!). It does take a little bit to figure out how to switch out the blades, but if you just take the time to read the directions, it's a snap. I'm definitely very happy with it!』
(Great mandoline slicer!) 『We purchased this mandoline after it "won" the top spot on America's Test Kitchen's product reviews, over products that were much more expensive. America's Test Kitchen was considering safety features, as well as good slicing and convenience. It does have great safety features (which is a good thing, because those blades are SHARP!!!) And it works as well at slicing ripe tomatoes (which many mandolines mangle) as it does at slicing onions or potatoes. Great product, and yet another example of Oxo's great product design!』 『The very versatile OXO Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline slices fruits and vegetables with ease. Four blades and a simple height adjuster make straight slices, crinkle cuts, French fries and julienne strips in a variety of thicknesses. The blades store on board and are easily removable for cleaning. A textured surface keeps food from sticking to the Mandoline and the food holder securely holds food and protects fingers. The handle and turning knob are soft for comfort and non-slip feet keep the Mandoline secure on the work surface. Fold the feet and lock the Mandoline for compact and safe storage. Hand wash the blades; the Mandoline body and food holder are dishwasher safe.』

(Thin edge) 『This knife has such a fine edge that I had to modify my sharpening technique. You cannot be too aggressive when sharpening or you will curl the edge over.
This does a fine job on pot roast, which is difficult to cut because it is so soft.』
(Great Knife.) 『Well built and very sharp. Cuts without meat clinging to knife. Well worth the money and cheaper then many others.』
(This REALLY is a great knife) 『This is a great knife! I'm an amateur cook, now graduating to doing lunches and dinners for up to 300 people, so my knives do not sit idle in the drawer. This is a terrific slicing knife-almost effortless--if you use the same pressure in slicing that you have been with other knives, you'll probably bounce the meat right off the board onto the floor--I'm serious. No shredding, no tearing, no slices sticking to the knife blade. Probably the closest thing to a professional deli slicer there is (but unfortunately not as "automatic"). I have been very satisfied with all Victorinox knives I have purchased--this is no exception.』
(Great Knife..great deal) 『This is a remarkably good knife for the price. Much bigger than I expected, but it is wonderful for carving large cuts of meat or whole turkey. Cuts through those things like butter..』 『The R H Forschner by Victorinox Slicing Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.』

Oster
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Poached eggs come out PERFECT!) 『Poached eggs come out so easily and perfectly in this! We have used ours VERY frequently for about 10 years to make both poached and hard boiled eggs. For poached eggs, we found some tricks. When you start poaching, wait until there is a little steam and then put a tiny glob of butter or margarine in each cup. Swirl it around to make sure the cup is well coated. That way the egg will slide off the cup easily. Then, we use a plastic utensil (a plastic spoon or knife is fine) to "pop" the egg out, so the teflon does not scratch over time. BE SURE TO TAKE THE EGG OUT AS SOON AS IT POPS, so that it will not stick to the cup. That way you will have perfect eggs, and an extremely easy clean up.
To clean up, I take the cups and just wipe them clean with a paper towel right away. No soap or water is necesary. If you do it right away, after the eggs are out, the cups will be perfectly clean and you will protect the integrity of the surface.
I am SO glad Oster finally started making these again. I have no idea why they stopped.
They are very well made, but do not last forever. Over the years have resorted to buying several used ones from Ebay, since that was the only place we could get them. We are so in love with the PERFECT poached eggs these make, I can not imagine having poached eggs another way. They also make effortless hard boiled eggs. It's also a great gift for couples or families who like poached eggs.』
(AWSOME!!!!!) 『This is in the top 2 gadgets I have ever purchased! What a great machine, easy to use super easy to clean, and work perfect! I love it.』
(Great Product) 『You can't beat this egg cooker. I like poached eggs. This cooks them absolutely perfect everytime. Turns off automatically when done. Only negative is no ringer or bell to tell you it's finished, but the click is loud enough I can hear it with no problems.
Can't recommend it highly enough.

I love that I have an option to use whole beans or ground coffee, but if I want to use whole beans I can do so without needing a seperate grinder. I am very happy with this coffeemaker.』
(Good product, great price) 『I wanted a grind-and-brew coffee maker for the longest time. Very happy with the product, it's easy to use and clean, and looks great in the kitchen. Love that I can wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The only thing is that it's pretty loud when it grinds the beans.. it definitely can double as an alarm clock!』

This is too bad as it is supposed to beep when ready to cook and when the waffle is done - The measuring cup is merely a suggestion. We have to fill below the line with our waffle mix to prevent the batter squirting out the side when cooking
It does cook a waffle, but it is far from a "set it and forget it" activity. We will keep using it until the waffle mix is gone and look for a better one.』
(Great Waffles the two times it worked.) 『I got one on these as a gift and the second time I made waffles it quit heating. Then I got it replaced and the second time I made waffles it quit heating. I would not get another one of these and probably would not get anything made by this company because of the quality. When it did work it made really good waffles it just seems a little pricey to buy a new waffle iron every other time you make them. I got a 40+ year old waffle iron from my in-laws estate that works much better and never has a problem.』
(Waffles IN demand) 『During a trip out west and staying at Econo-motel with continental breakfast, enjoyed making several for our breakfast. Compared and Bought this unit and waffle mix. Works fine. "Thought" this was a 8+ inch maker. Is more like 7.5 or 7 diameter. Can't remember ever seeing size in description.
It's fun to crank out waffles and watch everyone gobble them up. I am always eating nice, hot, FRESH-made waffles, since my sons have been eating the frozen extras before I can get to them. Making double batches. 28 waffles and counting. Need about 70 more waffles to break even $$$ with store-bought production type waffles. Still tweaking the batter recipe.
ADJUSTMENTS (personal preferences): RE-engineered the handle to lock down (in other direction) when the iron is closed (unable to open) in cooking position. Keeps the waffle iron from 'flopping' opening during storage. I painted some arrows (direction of turn) on the handle, too! RE-bent the tray to store with the cup (between iron and base). Haven't got into the lights, yet.』
(I should have heeded the negative reviews:() 『If you read through the reviews here and elsewhere you'll find a reliability problem. Ours died 1 year and and day after purchase. I figure 60 waffles total. It died 3 weeks after last successful use, element never heated up.
No response to emails from Waring. Probably 20% of these things die due to a faulty thermal fuse, the fuses are either under rated or defective. I can buy one for $1.25 + $5 shipping for the same junk that failed in the first place.
I "fixed" it by cutting out the open fuse and shorted the wires together with a solder-less crimped connector. If the heating element burns out, who cares.
Waring seems to be a company that doesn't care about the quality any longer.
I suggest passing on this product. My only suggestion why this waffle iron has "Pro" label, isn't really for mixed company. 』
