Easy to use Espresso maker with great latte results! by pkalugdan Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean, produces good crema and froth.
Cons: Sometimes hard to get milk very hot before it froths over the carafe. I purchased the Breville Cafe Modena because I had been eyeing espresso makers after a couple of friends treated me to homemade lattes. One of them has a very expensive Gaggia (delicious!), the other has a DeLonghi model (pretty good) that is less ...

The Little Toaster that Couldn't - Oster 6329 Two Slice Toaster by naphtalia Pros: Office staff will soon destroy and we'll get a different toaster
Cons: heating elements too short. doesn't eject bread far enough. inconsistent Since relocating, the office where I'm employed has had one industrial type coffee maker, but has gone through numerous toasters and toaster ovens. The problem seems to be that they get an inexpensive model that isn't designed for the use it gets from ...

Cons: Not sure what they mean by anti jam but this doesn't have it. I am known to be a bargain hunter but often times find that my deals end up not being deals at all.Design It has a rather nice design that is not only pleasing to the eye but looks attractive with all the other appliances in the ...

Adequate general stand mixer with bad design flaw by naatz Pros: Heavy duty;heavy weight.
Great for beating of cookies, cakes, etc. American made. Cons: Does NOT do bread dough, has one plastic gear weakening entire drive. Reliability. My wife and I tend to buy high quality kitchen and clothes cleaning appliances having been burned in the past on certain brands. She is a "foodie" and while she does not push her small appliances past tolerances, she uses them a lot so we buy ...

Happy with my Handy Handheld Blender by dianapinions Pros: Fun and fast, easy to clean. Use it right in your soup pot or beaker.
Cons: None for me. A couple years ago, I politely suggested to my husband that a Hand Blender/ Immersion Blender would be a very nice Mother's Day present. Yes, I had seen some recipes that called for a hand blender, and was intrigued with the idea of being able to ...

Just Okay by robynk Pros: Hammacher Schlemmer's Lifetime Guarantee of Complete Satisfaction
Cons: Coffee is not hot if carafe has not been pre-warmed; filter basket; lid. I researched (on Epinions.com of course), various coffeemakers as it seems we run through them every few years. My search was finally narrowed down to a Bunn and this one. I liked the Bunn because I know it makes great tasting coffee but my ...

Keurig Special Edition Coffee Pot by scentednights  Pros: Fast, easy and makes a fantastic cup of coffee that is always hot and fresh.
Cons: The machine is a bit bulky if you're limited on counter space. Keurig is the leader in single cup coffee technology. The Keurig Special Edition is one of their premium coffee pots. The Keurig SE brews one cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate at a time. It's always ready just when you want it and ...

Was this Coffee Maker Designed as an April Fool's Joke? by dianapinions Pros: Reliably makes 12 cups of piping hot coffee
Cons: Reliably drips water, coffee and sometimes even coffee grounds, all over the place. Messy! Typically, I read reviews before purchasing appliances. However, there was just no time, this time around. Caffeine-addicted house guests were arriving the next day, and while I was running errands, I suddenly remembered that our coffee maker had broken ...

Cons: Uses a lot of power, not used often in our home My wife once worked in a clothing boutique, years before I met her. She told me how one of her jobs was to steam wrinkles out of clothes using a steamer. She said she loved to do it because it was both fun work and the hot steam helped to ...

Most Affordable Coffee Maker! - Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker CHX23 by KMINER Pros: easy to use, features we wanted
Cons: no major ones, not a lot of fancy features We seem to receive coffee makers a lot from my inlaws. I think, knowing their youngest son so well, that coffee is his lifeline to the world. So even when we don't seem to need or request a new coffee maker usually around the holidays we find ...

Black & Decker CTO4400B Convection/Toaster Oven by Qiy Pros: Great price, fits well on coutertop under cabinets, cooks well
Cons: Crowded interior, racks difficult to adjust, runs a bit too warm on the outside After the great success we had with our GE 169055 Countertop Convection Oven, we decided to buy one for my 78-year-old mom who isn't comfortable using the regular stove oven any more. Unable to locate the GE model (except at Walmart), we ...

Half a million cups of coffee by texas-swede Pros: High volume, solid, sturdy, durable, no standing water, quick.
Cons: Expensive for basic brew action. At work we have the high volume Bloomfield 1000 Gourmet Thermal model 8782 Coffee Brewer. We are about 100 Engineers who are sharing two of them. We've had them for about 6-7 years which makes about half a million cups per brewer. As far as I know we ...

The Magic of Hollywood makes this look cooler than it is. by wrldtravler Pros: Doesn't take up much space. Is easier than cleaning a blender.
Cons: Not as amazing as the infomercial shows but somewhat practical. Everything looks cool on a television infomercial. After watching the infomercial, I felt like I needed one of these. After owning it for a while, I don't feel like it is a necessity. This is a lot less convenient than the infomercial shows. Watch the ...

Vita-Mix 5200: Invest in your health. by Qiy Pros: Easy to use, no pulp to throw away, and clean is a breeze!

Amazing oven! by momomom Pros: Its gorgeous, fast, handy, works great, thinks for you and well built.
Cons: Cannot use aluminum foil or glass. High price tag. I have had this oven now for about a year. In that time it has proven its high price tag to be worth every penny. I had wanted a toaster oven and was not really thrilled with the available selections. I wanted something that had some ...

The Grown-Up Toaster by minkypolly Pros: Beautiful, robust

The Kerig Coffee Maker - One of my better investemnts by tucker300 Pros: Makes GREAT coffee!
Cons: The K-Cups can get costly! I must say that I have never agreed with spending $129.00 on a coffee maker but I broke down and bought the Kerig B60 Brewer. It without a doubt as far as I am concerned was money well spent.I love my coffee and I love it hot and that is ...

Not up to par with the Cuisenart name. by wrldtravler Pros: Small size. Powerful motor for grinding coffee/ice.
Cons: Motor too powerful. Even on low speeds. The Cuisenart mini-prep food processor seemed like a great idea when I bought it for $50. I had been hesitant to buy a full sized Cuisenart because I am usually cooking for myself. I did want to reduce the amount of preparation time and dishes I would ...

Pretty to look at, but deeply flawed on the inside - the Cuisinart DCC-1200 by akpalau Pros: Attractive, sleek design; drip-proof carafe; excellent temperature maintenance.
Cons: Tiny reservoir opening with difficult-to-read depth increments. Makes mediocre-quality coffee. As kitchen appliances go, coffee makers are not highly complex, so you’d think most of the ones available for purchase would capably do their job in a reasonably intelligent way. Regrettably, that is not so, and price is not entirely a ...

Requires Much Babysitting and Time by llukins Pros: Both attachments work with the same base and it does a somewhat decent job.
Cons: Must hold when using, blades fall out of processor, not good at crushing ice. We purchased this Oster 6749 blender as a replacement for an old one that had gone out. We were attracted to this particular unit by two things: the fact that it was made by Oster, which we thought was a good brand, and the food ...
