Editorial Review

This multipurpose tool created a stir in the kitchen when it came out, as the food processor did a generation earlier. In order to blend, whip, and chop smaller amounts of ingredients, it's no longer necessary to wrestle with bulky appliances. Immerse the 7-1/2-inch blender shaft, with its little blade on the end, into a pot where vegetables have been simmering, press the switch, and in seconds a creamy soup appears--with no need to dump everything into a big blender. Blend sauces and baby foods in their cooking pots, too. Blend a milk shake or juice drink right in its drinking container, or in the 2-1/2-cup beaker included in this set. Whipping cream and egg whites is just as convenient: a 5-inch whisk attaches to the motor when the blender is removed. For chopping nuts, herbs, garlic, or onions, there's a 2-cup chopper bowl with a special blade. The motor with the attached blender shaft can be mounted on a wall (mount included). Everything but the motor and the chopper-bowl top (both should be wiped with a damp cloth) can go into the dishwasher. This tool is more than handy, it's a revolution. The instruction sheet, unfortunately, is harder to comprehend than the tool is to use. Read more

• Blends soups, sauces, baby food, juice drinks, and milk shakes

Motor dies
The motor of this thing died and almost burned my hand in the process. I was trying to chop raisins (bad idea, however no word about that in the instructions... they tell you to not chop cheese, but nuts are said to be OK) and after a couple of seconds, a spark came out of the button where I was holding the blender(since you need to press the button to have it work, you have to hold it there).
GREAT!!!
We use it to make food for our 8 month old. We've been using it for about 3-4 months now and it's worth every penny.

Great Set
I received this hand blender as a gift, and i was very happy with it. Its a must have in every kitchen as its very handy. The chopper bowl also does a great job to make diffrent pastes. Again a good item to gift. I would definitely recommend this.

This appealing blender looks great, with a rounded triangularshape that marries form and function. It pours perfectly and cleansbeautifully, but what we noticed first was the terrific grip on thehandle: firm and comfortable, like a great handshake. The lid is alsowell designed, sealing easily and snugly, with tiny rubber tipsattached on three sides to facilitate a smooth release and opening.This blender packs a lot of power, puréeing in seconds andturning eggs and oil into mayonnaise in fewer than two minutes. Fivespeeds let you whip up everything from chunky salsa to velvety soups;there's also a pulse mode when you need an extra surge to add solids orgive something one last stir. As a bonus, this blender looks great onthe counter or stores easily in two parts in the cupboard. Read more

Features

• 525-watt blender with 58-ounce capacity
• 5 speeds plus pulse setting for just the right amount of control
• Heavy-duty, stainless-steel blade crushes ice quickly
• Triangular lid design allows pouring from 3 different positions
• Measures 14-7/8 by 8-1/2 by 11 inches; 1-year warranty

Defective and Impossible to Return
As mentioned by other reviewers, the gear at the base of the blender (which drives the blade) is made of plastic, and the teeth break off easily.I owned this product for 6 months, only making my daily smoothie and my son's protien shake, and three of the six gear teeth broke off.The major problem is this, however -- the blender is virtually impossible to return unless you live close to one of the "authorized" repair shops that Braun has listed on their website.You can't return it to Amazon after 30 days, and Braun will only repair or replace defective items through their difficult-to-find repair sites.Don't waste your money on this one.

High expectations, disappointing results
We purchased this blender because it was rated a Consumer Reports Best Buy.However, about 30 seconds into its very first use (making a simple smoothie), it started emitting a HORRIBLE, burning plastic sort of smell that quickly filled the kitchen. I wasn't terribly impressed with the blender's power either, as it didn't seem like a significant improvement over the cheap Oster it's replacing.As mentioned by some other reviewers, the jug design is not ideal for pouring, and seems to promote drips.On a positive note, I do appreciate the fact that everything (except the base, of course) is dishwasher safe.

Disappointed
I bought this blender (like other reviewers) based on consumer reports recommendation.I had it only 6 months.The plastic gears have stripped twice, and the teeth on the bottom of the jar have broken too. This is a cheaply made blender, which worked OK for smoothies, but I would not recommend it over any other cheap blender. I had the blender repaired under warranty the first time, but won't waste my time now that it broke again.Save your money. ... Read more

Pretty good Blender for the price
I make smoothies nearly every morning and the occasional party drinks (Margs, Coladas, etc.). I had been using a basic Oster blender that I purchased from, I think, Target in college over 5 years ago. It got the job done, it was just VERY loud and I was always having to stick a spoon down in it to break up "ice jams". So I figured it was time for an upgrade. I was hesitant to buy this machine because it was refurbished and didn't want someone's nasty used goods on my kitchen counter. I've also noticed that KitchenAid stuff is very hit-or-miss with the quality. Some items such as my pancake griddle and kitchen tools (can opener, mixing spoons, spatulas, etc) are excellent. Other items like the hand food chopper and the vegetable and apple multi-slicer just plain SUCK! So, I took the gamble. My refurbished blender came yesterday and was in good, not excellent, condition. Some of the Styrofoam had rubbed off on the lid so much that I cannot get all of it off. Also the base was a little scuffy, but overall it was in good shape for the price. I used it this morning for the first time, after washing it, to make a smoothie. It worked pretty good.It took a lot longer than I had hoped to actually blend everything evenly. I did notice that it didn't get rid of ice chunks as well as it should. However, it was SO quiet! Even on the highest pulse speed, it was so quiet. Maybe I'm comparing it to the Oster I have been using which is almost mind-numbing, even for me in the morning when my mind is already numb. Overall for the price, it's a decent blender, but nothing to really go crazy over.
Not well refurbished
We received this quickly and it looked great, felt heavy and substantial etc.The first time I used it I noticed that mango was not very well blended - a mango!Hardly the toughest of fruits to blend when mixed with orange juice and a banana!The second time we used it the ball bearings seemed to stop working and the whole thing is just unusable.We will be returning this pronto and feel that we've wasted too much time on this product.It's just too much of a lottery with refurbished.I'm glad that some people got one that was properly fixed.This one was not, and I hope that some other sucker doesn't wind up with it when we return it!

good little blender
I gave this blender 4 stars because it's practically perfect. It's compact enough to fit easily under my overhead cabinets.The other thing I really like is that it's so very easy to clean.The base is all smooth and you just wipe it off. No cracks or crevices to collect stuff. The only problem with this blender is that it always leaves a few small lumps of something, ice cubes or fruit.It's not a big deal and I'd love it if it blended perfectly. After other blenders I've had, the good qualities of this one more then make up for it's one downfall. Otherwise it blends quietly and very efficiently.I like the glass container, don't like the plastic ones that seem to scratch and get crummy looking. this is one of the bestblenders I've ever owned and I got it at a great price. No problems at all with it being refurbished. It was packed up like it was brand new. ... Read more

Brushed Chrome is Chrome Colored Plastic
The main reason I bought this Imersion Hand Blender was to replace my old one with a plastic body.I was extremely disapointed when I received my "Brushed Chrome" Blender only to find out the body is chrome colored plastic.Upon reviewing the item description, it does say in the fine print "This Brushed Chrome SmartStick Hand Blender is made from ABS housing".Well in my book Chrome is metal and ABS is plastic.The only things I like about this blender are that you can remove the shaft assembly for cleaning and the motor is pretty powerful.

Dangy-dang!
Holy guacamole! I was a disbeliever, but now that I have this Cuisinart immersion blender, I am a True Believer. It is substantial yet quiet, and it works really, really well. It is easy to clean as the blender piece pops right off. I love that I can just place it into the pot and puree my soup right there! Awesome! Carrot soup, cauliflower soup, sweet potato soup have all fallen under my spell with this magic wand. Recommended.

Ah hah, I'm all shook up!
Well ok, maybe I am not all shook up so much as BLENDED up. I purchased this immersion blender after my older no name brand unit purchased at Wally World died in the middle of blending a pot of hot soup. I like that you can wash the blenders blade assembly in the dishwasher and the stainless steel shaft is not stained like so many of the ALL PLASTIC models. Another thing I love is the power of the unit and the sharpness of the blades; they will reduce a pot of cream of broccoli soup to a smooth consistency in nothing flat.

Response to Melissa's Review
Melissa, have you broken your Oster yet?I've gone through two Oster blenders for the sole reason that they keep sending me new ones.So, though I speak highly of the company, they alas, will also break.While other blenders have that rubber connection to the motor and the Oster's is metal, the metal piece is connected to the motor with a rubber grommet that you won't see until it breaks.I don't want to mislead that the performance of the blender isn't outstanding while it's working, but then it's broken.So my only problem really is being out one blender for about 12 days while I'm waiting for my new one to come by UPS.

Powerful Blender!
Solid and powerful, with sharp blades. Only thing I wish it had were more variable speeds. But great for smoothies and frozen drinks... grinds right through ice.

An Outstanding Blender for the Money
I had an Oster previously which after much use and many years finally gave out. I thought very highly of it and therefore purchased another one. It is somewhat loud but it does do the job--it's great in chopping ice for drinks. For the money, you cannot beat it! ... Read more

The next best thing to an in-house sommelier, this professional-quality wine opener offers the same impressive performance and stylish design as corkscrews that cost far more. Made from durable, nickel-plated, zinc alloy with easy-grip, ergonomic handles, it uses metal gears to extract corks in seconds. The entire process requires minimal effort, and best of all, there are never bits of mangled cork floating around in the bottle afterwards. This MIU France wine opener comes with an extra corkscrew, an attractive presentation stand, and a foil cutter to prepare bottles for opening. This product is dishwasher-safe, and has a lifetime warranty. ... Read more

Used it tonight
I am a disabled vet with one good hand, this opener can not be easier to use.A simple squeeze of the handle, depress the lever, and your wine is un-corked.Do the same in reverse while holding the cork and you have the cork intacted for re-corking.We love it!

My favorite wine opener
I bought this wine opener to replace a regular corkscrew and I'll never go back. This tool is incredibly easy to use, from removing the foil to lifting the cork from the bottle to releasing the cork from the opener. In addition to its ease of use, this wine opener is also a fun tool. I bought a second wine opener as a gift, and I'll continue to give these as gifts - they're great!

timely delivery, strong product
The product arrived slightly earlier than expected. The wine opener itself is heavy and sturdy, works perfectly, and came in a nice little box, with extra screws. MUCH better than the plastic one I had that broke while opening a bottle, and sadly I paid more for that one! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Founded in 1756, Austria’s Riedel Crystal is the world’s premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are part of the company’s first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel’s prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher.

super breakable!
were great until they broke in the sink while washing...too fragile for everyday use.

Wine Tastes Better!
Swirl your cab in these glasses, and it smells fantastic. While other reviewers have rightly given accolades to the functionality and beauty of the design, most important is that these tumblers truly make for a better taste and bouquet. We were first introduced to "O" at a tasting at Miner Vineyard in Napa, and have been fans ever since.

Lovely and delicate even without the stem!
I love these. Like a reviewer below, my husband has broken our wine glasses. 5 stems off a set of 8! I gave up and ordered these :-)They are wonderful. delicate and pretty but as foolproof as a wineglass can get. They *are* thin but they are a joy to use and suit our more casual home perfectly. I enjoy serving our friends with these while we watch old movies! ... Read more

Hit of the Beach
Just back from a week at Cape Hatteras with the crew.We have a total of 9 couples who have shared a house in Sept/Oct for many years now.This was the first true test of the Frozen Concoction Maker and it passed with flying colors.Probably had about a years worth of normal usage in a week and amazed everyone (and we are very serious about our margaritas - we even have a gas powered blender for making frozen drinks on the beach)
Best Invention of Mankind
This is how my boyfriend described this machine and although that may be a little extreme, it sure is a purchase I'm glad I made! It seems very well-designed and sturdy. I expect to be enjoying delicious frozen concoctions from it for a long, long time! It's so cool, it's even fun to watch it do it's thing! The price is a bit steep, but I seemed to forget all about that when I got to sit down and enjoy a delicious pina colada! I looked at this item on other sites, but saved over $30.00 in S&H and tax by ordering it from Amazon with their free shipping! That's a plus!

Excellent
Prior to purchasing thethe machine I read the prior reviews.I must tell you that I highly recommened the maker if you want a great margarita.

Smoothies are fast and easy--but the Bullet does a lot more
Aha! Yet again, the infomercial sends its siren song when you are up watching tv on a sleepless night. Is it the wooziness of insomnia, or is the Magic Bullet the best thing since a food processor for the kitchen. Here's my opinion.
So far so good
I have read the other reviews about the ice and gears wearing out.I have had mine for about a month now.I put ice in it everyday and frozen fruit.It hasn't stopped working yet.I drink smoothies for breakfast almost every morning.I love the way this think makes one cup.When I used to use my blender it made about 3 times as much as I needed.Plus, I hated the clean up.
I love this thing!
I have only used mine to make smoothies, shakes and slushes, but it really does the job!

Wine should breathe a little, but not overnight. Putting an end to the oxidation process, which turns a favorite Merlot into vinegar, is easy with the Vacu Vin Wine Saver. Made from high-quality rubber, which will not affect the taste of the wine, the Wine Saver uses a vacuum-style pump to release air to keep a wine fresh. And it's easy to use--just place a stopper in a bottle's neck, place the pump over the stopper, and pump air out until some resistance is felt. This process is suitable for preserving all but sparkling wines, and will save Chiantis, Syrahs, and others for up to two weeks. Read more

The most useful thing
I bought my Vacu Vin set about 4 years ago and it's still working perfectly.It's so easy to use and it does preserve the wine flavor for at least a few days.We no longer have to finish a whole bottle in one sitting or risk a spoiled wine.I've recommended it to a few of my friends and they all say they can't live without it now.
Waste no more wine
I had ruined several bottles of wine before I tried this wine saver.By removing the air that causes wine to go bad after a short time, I am able to enjoy it and know that in a week's time it still tastes as good as when I opened the bottle.It works effortlessly and the "click" sound tells me that the air is removed - so simple and quick!! This was a great idea and it works for me.No more wasted wine.

You have to know what it's good for
Looking at the reviews on this page, you see reports that are deeply contradictory. It's interesting that there is such a divergence of experience with such a simple product. The ideas behind Vacuvin are pretty simple.

Great stuff
For the price it is definitely a good pick. It however can't grind small quantities. Also if you wish to grind a very large volume you may have to do it in batches. If you are patient enough to run it with the right volumes you get the best results. If you need the best belnder you need to spend the right amount. For this price it delivers more than its value.

A perfect addition to the college student's kitchenware
This blender is probably one of the best around at its price, but don't be fooled based on this sentence alone into thinking that you'll get a better blender by just paying a few extra dollars.Spending under $20 on this one will do you fine.
Lumpy lumpy lumpy
Every smoothie came out lumpy, and with a bit of plastic aftertaste.I've had three blenders in the past. All could chop up almonds if you waited long enough, added a little juice, and tapped the sides.This thing has such a large and round jar with such small blades that it will just not reach every piece. Lumps and more lumps. I even tried sharpening the blades. The Krups turned almonds to powder in 10 seconds. This turnes almonds to small pieces in 2 minutes. So it makes a good alarm clock to wake the whole house.Even the banana was still lumpy. I read all these reviews and no one mentioned this problem.I'm definitely getting a different blender. ...

Function Fails to Follow Form
Like most reviewers, I found these glasses to be elegantly modern and sleekly minimalist.Like a number of other reviewers, I found that one of my glasses leaked.Unlike one other reviewer, I was unable to eliminate the water between the glass' walls in the microwave, and when I tried to do so the glass became very hot because of the steam produced.To my mind, elegance of form can never compensate for a failure of functional design.5 stars for form, 1 star for function:2 stars total.
Bodum Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2
These Bodum glasses are simply amazing.There's no other way to describe a glass out of which I can have my coffee in the morning and ice cold liquids at night.

What you would expect from a commercial smoothie maker
I was looking for a new blender to make smoothies with after burning the motor out on two previous ones.I was also tired of having to stick spoons into the blenders and mash down the ice/fruit to get it to blend thoroughly.The Back to Basics Smoothie Maker solves this problem by providing everything you would expect to find in a commercial machine.
We are having a blast!!
This is our first smoothie maker and we are having a great time! It is so easy touse and clean. I just whipped up a smoothie using peach nonfat yogurt, frozen blueberries, frozen mango, 1 frozen banana (just throw your over-ripe bananas in the freezer), orange/pineapple juice and ice. It was ready in 1 minute!! Needless to say, with those ingredients how could it not taste wonderful. I can't believe how powerful this machine is as I am used to a plain ole blender that used to overheat.
powerful machine
After years of trying to make smoothies in a regular blender, and having to stop and stir, and stop and stir, and worry about burning out the motor, we now don't have to worry any more. Even when ALL of the fruit we add is frozen, this machine grinds, chops, and smooths with impressive power. It's fairly easy to clean, provided you don't wait for days, and has a handy pouring valve thing. A few recipes are included. ... Read more

Simple, Easy
This tool is far superior to any standard wine bottle opener.Highly recommended.

A Vital Piece of Equipment
Whether you're having wine for a small dinner or for a large party, the Rabbit is what you want.I saw one being used by a friend, and bought one on his recommendation.I'm glad I did.
Easiest corkscrew ever!!!
I could *not* believe my eyes the first time I saw someone use a Rabbit. I've shredded SO many corks and even broken bottles trying to get corks out. I've tried so many different kinds of corkscrews (and the two-pronged non-screw-type cork-pullers), and I've been all kinds of frustrated. I'm a big and strong guy, and I've still been frustrated at how hard some corkscrews are to use.

Not what I thought
These tumblers are very nice...but I was under the impression that they were the Tervis tumblers.I purchased the lids to go with them and they don't fit!

Fantastic Item
I have looked very hard to find these large insulated 24oz tumblers for the last 3 years since my old ones finaly fell apart.i could find 12 oz or16 oz but those were too small ifyou wanted to add a lot of ice and your drink. I was amazed to find these, they of excellent quality, and the service i received with my order was fantastic. I couldntbe any happier. Was one of the bestpurchases ive made in a long time.Many thanks too all that got my order prepared and shipped in a timely manner

Great Wine Glasses
I have had these for about a month now and use them almost everyday.They have been great through the dishwasher and have a nice substantial feel to them.Definitely worth the price.

Amazing, seemingly invincible glasses...
These are the most amazing glasses ever. I don't know if I have been exceptionally lucky, but last night, for the third time, I dropped one of these tumblers and rather than breaking, the glass rolled (no joke) and remained 100% intact. My husband and I have never been able to keep wine glasses for more than a few months without breaking them all.
Just what I was looking for.
These wine tumblers are perfect for every day use and especially in situations where a stemmed tumbler may be unstable. The flat base and low center of gravity of these tumblers (a bit of a misnomer) make them less likely to "tumble" unexpectedly. The crystal is strong yet light and cleans up easily. They look great in a display. Highly recommended.

A great gift for a wine lover, this powerful, award-winning tool effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle in 3 seconds with simple lever action. Handles with comfortable rubberized padding easily clamp onto a bottle's neck; the lever drives the tough worm into the cork with a push and then pulls the cork out cleanly with a simple pull. Releasing the cork involves the same action, only with the handles clamped onto the cork. Ruggedly constructed of polycarbonate and reinforced nylon, the cork puller has the heft of a fine, precise high-tech tool and comes by its name, Rabbit, because it resembles a bunny's head. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. Read more

Wine-o who loves this opener!
This wine opener is wonderful! I have used many openers since I began drinking wine and this by far is the easiest one I have ever put my hands on. In 2 seconds the bottle is uncorked - it's that easy! And wow - for the price??? How can you beat that? I highly recommend this product!

Good Product
The Rabbit works great. Just make sure you line up the lip of wine bottle with groove in Rabbit top. Works every time.

Editorial Review

This set of simple but elegant crystal wine glasses would grace the simplest outdoor picnic as well as a multicourse formal meal in the dining room. The glasses are 9 inches tall, 2-1/2 inches across the top, and 3 inches across the wider portion of the tulip shape. They have very thin stems and wide, stable bottoms that won't tip easily--a design bonus, since no one likes trying to clean red wine out of a tablecloth. A set of these glasses would make a lovely housewarming or wedding gift, along with a select bottle from your favorite winery. Read more
