Cuisinart SB-5600 Supreme Super 600 60-Ounce 6-Speed Stainless Steel Blender with Glass Jar



Great and stylish blender
It's simply a great blender and is very modern looking.

The buttons on the side of the blender are well placed and responsive. There's a small light to the left of every button except "OFF" that goes on when that button is selected, very nifty.

The glass container is sturdy and slightly heavy with measuring markers engraved in the glass. The blender has many blending options as well.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but even I find it easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble.

I highly recommend this product.

UPDATE: I've owned the blender for over a year and it still works and looks as good as it did the first day out of the box.

POWERHOUSE!
We drink protein shakes 3x a day. I love lots of ice in mine, and this blender is perfect for that! Even the lower settings are more than powerful enough to chop the ice up. And the fact that it is very good looking didn't hurt either! I used to run a juice stand and this does as good as any of the professional models I've used.

Great Blender for a Great Price
I wanted a high power blender similar to a Vitamix, but I noticed that Vitamix blenders were priced at approximately $400. Although this Cuisinart blender is not quite as powerful as a Vitamix, the price is much better and so is the overall look of the blender. This blender is the most powerful in the Cuisinart Line.
I have used this blender to make soups and fruit & vegetable smoothies and it has worked extremely well and is very easy to clean. The jar is also very strong and can contain a high quantity of liquids and solids. It is the best blender I have ever owned and would recommend it to anyone.

Hitachi R18DSLP4 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum (Bare Tool)



Very nice 18v Vac
Great little 18v vacuum! Powerful for its size and compatible with the 18v li-ion batteries used by Hitachi drills and other power tools. This is a bare tool. NO BATTERY INCLUDED. It is designed to be used with a Hitachi set that you already own. Comes with three different head attachments.

Bare Tool means No battery an NO charger
So yeah - not very forthright - so why buy from them?

If they were honest folks they would say "battery and charger sold separately"

They fail to even have a link for the battery and charger - the bare battery sells for somewhere between $44 and $77 - I don't know how much as they don't say what battery you need to go with it. I would bet the charger goes for at least $25 - so this is really about a $140 vacuum..

Rheem Ruud Weatherking OEM Protech Parts 62-22578-01 Furnace Hot Surface Ignition Control Module



Ignition control module
The part number shown on Amazon doesn't match any part number printed on my failed ignition control module so I encountered a small problem in locating it on Amazon's website. Also, the price was too high. I found another internet posting selling this module for $57, however, I feel much more secure ordering from Amazon because I know that I will get what I ordered without any hassles. On the good side, the ignition control module arrived in a timely manner; important because my furnace was down and my house was cold. Most important, the module worked.after installation. It took me only 30 minutes to install it and It's good to have my heat back. Significant to me as well, I saved $300 over what a local HVAC company wanted to install this module.

Five Star Delivery!!!!
I ordered the ignition control to restore heat in my house by replacing the defective factory part in my furnace...the product was in my mailbox two days later and several weeks later it continues to work like a Swiss watch. Would DEFINITELY order again from this seller and highly recommend them for their prompt delivery and quality of the product. Best wishes to the seller for contin ued success.

Kitchenaid KFP0711 Food Processor Onyx Black



Nice machine
Had zero problems with this product out of the box, everything works as described and I love the ability to adjust the thickness on the slicing blade.. I can alot of peppers and am on my 10th bushel of peppers thru this machine without a single flaw. I would recomend this machine to anybody that needs to speed there processing times up this machine will do it..

2 Bad Units in a row!
We purchased this model from a local Bed, Bath and Beyond. The first unit we bought did not work, no power was going to the unit base. We returned it and bought another one. The same thing happened! Seems like we bought two lemons in a row. I am not sure if this is BB&Bs fault or KitchenAid's but beware! So we purchased a Cuisinart instead and it worked perfectly, right out of the box.

Complete waste of money!
Got this food processor as a Christmas gift from my son. The first time I tried to use it, the main blade that fits onto the stem fell apart. I got in touch with the company and they were very nice and sent a new one. It worked once, but now the power will not come on when it is attached. When I use one of the other blades, it will sometimes work. The problem seems to be how well the blade apparatus "sits" on the site, in order to activate the system. I am tired of fooling with this processor, as it is utterly unreliable and frustrating! Avoid at all costs, as it will cost you both in $$ and in good spirits!

BIONAIRE Portable Air Purifier With ULPA Filter UA-1560



Bionaire Air Purifier with ULPA filter
This is my second air purifier from BIONAIRE. I was intending to just purchase a new cartridge filter for my old one but the cost difference between a newer product and a filter made my decision easy to just purchase the whole new machine. As the old purifier was well over 12 yrs. I am more than delighted to have the new BIONAIRE. It is a very good air purifier and not noisy at all. Very easy to move around as it is light plus an attractive item for anyplace you place it.

The best air purifier I've ever tried
We get a lot of the smoke from the eruptions on this island and it can sometimes cause resperatory problems. All I have to do is turn on the Bionaire and in a couple of seconds, the air is clean and the coughing stops. This is a great machine.

Cuisinart Coffee Maker - 12 cup - White



Excellent coffee!
Bought this coffee maker for my mom for Christmas, and it makes just about the BEST tasting coffee I've had in a long time!
Easy to set up....no dribble or dripping, a five "beep" signal when it's done perking and a two "beep" signal at the two hour auto-shut-off.
It's the least expensive of the Cuisinart line, but for the money, it's the best tasting.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great coffee maker.

Cuisinart got it right this time
I bought the Cuisinart coffee maker with a thermos carafe. Not bad, but disappointing in two respects. First, the coffee was not hot enough, and second, the carafe did not pour well, due to the need to have a sealed top, I assume.

So I tried again with a more standard Cuisinart coffee maker ((DCC-1100C). It replaces a Braun, which had worked well for years but suddenly died. This model is pretty close to ideal. Coffee good and hot, a setting for a small number of cups that actually works well, a great carafe, and, of greatest importance, excellent coffee. Also pretty easy to clean.

Finally found a GOOD coffee maker! Cuisinart DC1100 WHT
I have purchased several coffee makers over the last few years, and I can findly say I LOVE my coffee maker!

We have owned two Hamilton Beach, and one Bunn. Not happy with either one of them.
I purchased this coffee maker after reading different reviews, and liked what I read.

We have had it for a month now, and still pleased with this coffee maker.

Pros- reasonably price
the hottest coffee EVER!
love the preset brew (coffee ready when I wake)
nice apperance/ I have the white
Cons- I have no complaints
I would totally recommend this coffee maker to anyone looking for a nice HOT cup of coffee :-) *****
