This smaller version of George Foreman's famous "as seen on TV" Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine is perfect for preparing quick, low-fat meals for one or two people. The double-sided grill surface heats in less than five minutes to an even temperature perfect for grilling most foods. The high grill grooves and slight angle allow fat to run off the grill as food cooks, and the nonstick surface requires little or no additional fat for cooking. The plastic, grooved spatula works well to scrape off any bits that may have stuck to the surface.Read more

Features

• 6-by-7-inch nonstick cooking surface
• Great for grilling burgers, fish, vegetables
• Includes dishwasher-safe plastic drip tray and spatula
• Patented grill grooves let oil run off while food is cooking
• Interior wipes clean easily

So So
I like the grill, but when I saw the sale the picture had the bunn warmer on the unit. When I received it, it didn't. But as for the grill, great tast and quick meals.

Great, like all Georgie's products
I had a smaller version of this for 5 years, used almost daily for veggie burgers and other meatless items. I am moving into a larger place and decided to upgrade my grill. This is great, just like the one before!

Excellent quick grill for the kids & adults
I purchased this so that my 14 year old wouldn't use the stove on his own. I wished I had bought one of these years ago for myself. It cooks evenly and the meats retains moisture. The only drawback is cleaning it - other than that it's a great product. ... Read more

KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 300 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. Read more

Features

• Powerful 300-watt mixer with 10 speeds; measures 13-8/9 by 8-2/3 by 14 inches
• Tilt-back head for easy access to mixture
• 4-1/2-quart bowl holds dough for 2 loaves of bread
• Includes flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook
• Reconditioned by the manufacturer to "like new" condition; includes 6-month warranty

Must have for baking
I have been in U.S. for two years but I always struggled for finding some "good" bread living in a non-urbane location.Bread sold at the normal supermarket is surprisingly bad that I can hardly eat.So, I started baking some bread, cookies, and scones by myself and this Kitchenaid stand mixer made my life so easy.
dream machine!
I had wanted a KitchenAid mixer for years,my aunt had one she had received as a wedding present in the forties,it still looked and worked great throughout the many years she used it.Apparently its still working great today.I am so happy to have received my own mixer! DO not pass up this deal!You won't regret it.My mixer came 3 days earlier than Amazon predicted.It works like brand new and looks like brand new.I made a cake and a loaf of honey-wholewheat bread,my machine ran perfectly;no problems or hitches, perfectly normal.I cannot wait for the Holiday's, I will be giving it a big workout then...My expectations were far exceeded.Thankyou Amazon and KitchenAid.

Couldn't ask for better
I waited a year before putting this review in seeing as it was refurbished. Maybe it is the luck of the draw but mine looked absolutely brand new when I recieved it and has not given me a bit of trouble at all. Heavy, solid, finely made ... this one will be with me a long time . I don't know what kind of heavy glue -like dough it would take to slow this thing down but I haven't been able to even come close .I figure if something were to go wrong it would have already so I guess I totally lucked out on this great deal. I would say to definitely give it a chance . ... Read more

Editorial Review

Drop a dime into the jukebox, press F2 for Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill," and dreamily drift back to the '50s, when bobbysoxers and guys with ducktails or wearing white bucks (never, ever both) idled away after-school hours at the local drugstore's soda fountain sipping chocolate malts that had been churned to a smooth, frothy consistency by a mixer exactly like this one. Hamilton Beach's drink mixers began appearing at soda fountains in 1911; this 14-1/2-inch-high, 70-watt model, in creamy green, recalls Elvis's first decade. But it's 21st-century, too, blending fruit smoothies and health drinks as well as milk shakes and malted milks. Also use it to mix puddings and beat eggs for omelets. Two speeds offer mixing flexibility, and the tilting head makes it easy to remove the spindle for cleaning. Its professional-style, stainless-steel cup holds 28 ounces and is dishwasher-safe.

Nice little shake machine
It does't make the 32 ounce shakes I remember from the good old days but it does a good job and perhaps less is better for the waist line.

ahh...the word "plastic" might be helpful
I'm an idiot for not reading the product description more carefully, but usually the word "chrome" implies I'm buying something made of metal.This p.o.s. on the other hand is made entirely of chrome colored plastic. The only thing metal in the box is the cup (which coincidentally is the least important part of the whole unit).The tip of the mixer rod is also made of plastic.It will not crush ice.If you want a serious mixer, either go to your local restaurant supply (the smart move) or buy a Waring.

Soda Fountain Retro
While this is a "lightweight" unit and not commercial, it does make a nice useable "retro" item for the soda fountain in our 50's room. ... Read more

Love the mixer
Got my mixer for an x-mas gift!I love it!I've purchased several attachments to go with it.It's the best addition to my kitchen!

Better than Artisan Model - Two Precautions
I was a bit reprehensive about purchasing a reconditioned unit, but it arrived like new.I've had my mixer for a few days and it has performed well.This model is a step up from the often advertised Artisan; it has ALL-metal gears and is more powerful, but unlike the professional models, maintains the tilt (hinge) feature rather than the bowl lift (see the Kitchen Aid website).I like the tilt because the lift requires you to detach the attachments before removing the bowl.The attachments and bowl can all be placed in the dishwasher except for the whisk, which is easily cleaned by hand.

The mixer is outstanding. When I opened the package it was in like new condition and had no Blemishes. I would buy refurbised again.

Ideal for mixing margaritas, making pesto, whipping up smoothies, or pureeing soups, this classic blender offers solid, back-to-basics features without compromising ice-crushing power or thorough mixing. Made with KitchenAid’s legendary quality and attention to detail, it provides precise control with pulse capability at each of the three speeds. A durable, sturdy base ensures stability, while the unique StepStart technology starts blending off slow, then provides gradually accelerating power to prevent splatters. A special electronic mixing sensor automatically adjusts power depending on the jar’s contents, maintaining a consistent speed even when blending harder items. The patented one-piece blade assembly features oversized stainless steel blades operating on four different planes to chop through chunks of ice handily, even at the lowest speed. The CleanTouch control pad wipes off easily, and the 40-ounce glass jar resists scratches and stains and cleans up in the dishwasher when you’re done. Its lid is textured for a better grip, and the cap is sized to measure out precisely 2 ounces of liquid ingredients. The enclosed recipe guide and instruction booklet even provides inspiration for further culinary creations. The Ultra Power blender weighs 13.2 pounds and measures 7 inches wide by 8 inches deep by 15 inches high. Read more

Not too used to it...
First of all, let me give you my past experience in using a blender. I used my boyfriend's blender, which is "cheap" according to him, something you buy from the supermarket or department storef or less than 30 dollars. I loved his blender. It made awesome smoothies.
Works fine
This machine has heft to it. Had the box not said so, I would not have known it was remanufactured. Use it exclusively for crushing ice for smoothies. Made 35 or 40 and so far, so good. Burned out another more expensive brand in no time flat. Better to stop and pulse again at the first sign slowing down (which it rarely does but after reading reviews of other machines and how common burn outs are I'm taking it slow...which means maybe 60 seconds more to make a smoothie).
The more I drink, the more I like it!
Makes frozen margaritas without bursting into flames--what more can a gal want? Arrived looking and smelling new. For the price, I'll be happy if it lasts 2 years. Can't beat it! ... Read more

Good item with good price
I have used it for one month and it works well for me. I like the steamer insert that you can steam your dish the same time with your rice. The warmer function is ok, not a flaw at all I think. I may keep the rice warm for up to a few hours and then unplug it as a habit. Few people would keep it warm for the whole day! What's more, the price from amazon is great, much less than those for the same item from other sellers. Anyway, I am very satisfied with it.

This rice cooker has a fatal design flaw
Got the rice cooker because of the good price from Amazon.However, I would strongly recommend to avoid this rice cooker because there is a fatal design flaw-it has the warmer function on all the time even not cooking.The only way to turn off the warmer fuction is to unplug the power code, which is potentially dangerous if you forget to unplug the power code.I think the engineer who designed the rice cooker should be fired!The Amazon description on the item does not correctly reveal this problem. ...

Dangerous at any price
This machine is an accident waiting to happen. In order to pull out the (very hot) toasting rack, you have to attach a separate handle. Not only is this awkward and inconvenient, we found after many attempts to attach the handle safely, we were unable to do so, since it attaches at an angle that requires on's hand to come very near to or actually touch the EXTREMELY HOT frame of the oven. Avoid this item at all costs.

Bad DeLonghi Experience
We purchased a DeLonghi toaster oven and both the toaster and oven functions stopped working right after the one year warranty expired. We barely used this product. When contacting customer service we were told that there were no replacement parts available for our model and there was nothing we could do and nothing they would do for us. My $20 toastmaster lasted more than 15 years! This is the lsat time I buy a toaster based on appearance!

Still the champ...
I owned two DeLonghi's previously and after a brief affair with a Cuisinart TOB-30 I am back for good.None of these ovens are perfect but the DeLonghi does more things right than anything else on the market.

Little noisy but works great.Big hit!
We had a lot of fun with this fountain at a couple of parties.It's a little noisy, but you won't notice it if it is a larger party.Everyone loved it and asked where I got it.I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $40 using one of their 20% off coupons that come in the mail almost every week.
THE BEST
I LIKE THE FOUNTAIN ALOT BECAUSE IT MAKES A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE WITH ALL MY FAMILY

JUNK JUNK JUNK !!!
I didn't expect great things from this machine, considering the price.But I did expect at least the very minimum. I bought 2 because I knew I was hostessing 3 baby showers this year & thought it would be really nice to have 1 machine flowing milk chocolate & a 2nd flowing white, with a nice tiered arrangment filled with fresh strawberrys & assorted fruit. Maybe a tier of nice cookies...WOW I was so dissapointed the 1st time I used them, what a nightmare! They don't flow smoothly at all,one of them malfunctions badly & the 2nd is not much better! I even tried them at the 2nd baby shower thinking maybe I was being unfair or had done something wrong??? Nope exact same horror! Clean-up is not a good or easy thing either! I have packed them up & they are going back! For that 3rd shower I will dip my own strawberries & make a pretty arrangment, stress & clean-up on that will be much much less! I am so frustrated over the machines I hate that I even have to give them 1 star. ... Read more

Pretty fantastic little machine
My mother bought this for myself and my husband for xmess about 4 years ago.We were in love!The coffee is amazing, better than anything you can get at St@rb*cks and waking up to freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee is a fine motivator to get out of bed in the morning.
Coffee shop coffee
I bought this unit 6 or 7 years ago and have loved it ever since.Features like the programmable timer, water heat selection, self clean are all useful, but what makes this a great coffee maker is that it grinds the coffee and passes hot water through it within seconds of finishing the grind.That you can program this so you can have fresh ground and brewed coffee waiting for you in the morning is one of the finer things in life.
absolutely love this and mine is durable!
I've had mine for 2+ years and have used it every day with no problems at all.The coffee is the best I've ever tasted....nothing beats fresh ground beans.I love waking up to the sound of the grinder, and when it's finished brewing, the machine makes a beeping sound to let you know........it's like a snooze alarm.I think it's actually easy to clean, just 3 parts to wash. ...

Does not have Pump and hose
The previous reviewer was correct. This item does not have the pump and hose for using it without a garden hose. I was easily able to order these parts and the clip to hold the pump from the Coleman website. Just look at the hot water on demand there and open the replacement parts link.
Confusing information and pix....
Having used a coleman model before I was happy to find this unit... But,I am in agreement with the other review... When I purchased this item there were two reviews and one of them stated that this item comes with a pump... It does not... The Amazon info is a bit unclear on this it does not state there is a pump but one of the customer posted photos shows a pump... That coupled with the now missing review that states there was a pump is confusing... That being said this is still a great bargain as you get the same heating unit as the coleman with the spray hose (optional w/coleman), and the garden hose adapter (also optional w/coleman)... Without the pump, you just need to be able to get the water to the unit which could be as simple as placing a water container couple of feet higher(gravity fed) than the unit and plumbing a hose to run through the garden hose adapter... or running a seperate 12v marine pump(cheap but, requires another power source) to the hose adapter... Amazon should remove the confusing photo...

Nice but not complete for camping
I ordered this after reading the review here on Amazon which stated that theirs came with the hose/pump as shown on the coleman heater.Mine did not, so I am now with out a hose and pump to get the water into the heater.I planned on using this for camping so a water hose won't be available to me.So I either need to return it or find a place where I can purchase the pump that runs off the internal battery along with the water hose that has the special black clip on end.Can't find it on Coleman's site or Ebay at the moment. ...

If you want waffles this is the way to go
Never was a big waffle person but I like the throw big brunches so I thought I would incorporate a waffle station.Very easy to use, hardly any cleanup (just butter the grids a little before each waffle), and makes them quick, probably every 4 min or so.I am definitly enjoying this unit, looks great too came in perfect condition.The only thing is once and a while the timer does not go off.Seems to be every third waffle so I keep an eye out for that. (hence the 4 stars)But this is so worth the $40.

Excellent Product
Relative was very happy with the product and I even got to try it out:) Waffle maker looked like new when I got it, and is operating very effectivly. Only paid $9.99 for mine(promotional gift) and free shipping!!

WOW!!!
I've wanted one for a long time, but, like others hesitated at the $80 pricetag.I was so excited to find this for half price and it was worth the wait.The box, interior packaging, literature and unit were in brand new condition...in fact I had to look through the paperwork to find any indication of the unit being remanufactured.Solid construction and smooth movement and more importantly DELICIOUS WAFFLES.The very first one (which I made as soon as I got it out of the box) came out perfect on the #4 setting; so did the last one.Perfectly golden brown, perfectly consistent, flawless non-stick.Timer indicator worked just fine. It beeps when it is ready for the first waffle and it beeps when the cylce is complete.

An inexpensive introduction to the delights of rotisserie-roasted meats and poultry, this countertop device is large enough to spit-roast two chickens, a 15-pound turkey, a leg of lamb, a rack of ribs, or six kabobs. Place the spit through the wire food basket that accompanies the rotisserie and it will rotate chicken wings, salmon steaks, or other foods through the roasting cycle. Meanwhile, place the enameled-steel steaming tray atop the rotisserie, cover with its plastic lid, and the rotisserie will steam vegetables or shrimp.Read more

Excellent Rotisserie!
This is a fantastic prduct. I've had mine for 5 years. It makes fried chicken without having to add ANY OIL!
not built to last
I bought this back in 1999, and I love the way it cooks chicken and salmon steaks, but it's not built to last.First, after about 3 years, the tracks where the door slips onto the bottom broke off due to the screws being too tight, and then the 5th year, the knob broke off, so I have to use pliers to turn it on.It still cooks chicken great, but after trying to superglue the "feet" back on and the knob, they broke again right away.
Great Buy
This machine is a great addition to any home! It does have its cons, but overall the meals produce from this modern marvel are awesome. I have never had dry chicken come out of this machine, ribs are moist and delicious, lamb comes out awesome. Heck, I have even done some venison roast with this insane carnivore contraption, and they came out mouth-watering good.

You get what you pay for
The coffeemaker is a piece of junk. I bought this for my son for his birthday and he got it and it worked two times and then it didnt come back on. So I sent it back and they replaced it with another one and it worked for the first day and it quit working too. So I requested a refund.

Russel Hobbs coffee maker
Good coffee maker for the price, although getting the coffee in the filter is a little difficult.

Benefit of the doubt
I was online searching endlessly for a coffeemaker that had certain features. Well this one was the perfect size, it had a timer and the stainless steel feature was what i was looking for. I had read the reviews on this product and none of them were good, but the price was right so i gave it a try. When i received it there was already a plastic piece broken off and when i put water in it all came out the bottom. I returned it the next day wishing i had listened to the negative reviews. There is a reason why its priced so cheap, because it is cheap. ... Read more

Beats our old Starbucks brewers, hands down!
Flavor is great. Pot beeps when coffee is ready; beeps when it shuts off the heating element too! Coffee ground issue is, I'm sure, related to the brass/plastic basket that comes with the pot. If you overfill the basket with gounds, they do get in the water. However, if you use a paper filter with the same amount of grounds , it works fine. Poorly engineered ground basket. If you want a brass basket, purchase a third party one. We also have the KA coffee grinder which is better than any I've owned, including the Braun and Starbucks which both died an early and untimely death. KA appliances still going strong after more than a year.

Looks Great - Tastes Mediocre
I'm usually a big fan of KitchenAid appliances and I own a Proline coffee grinder, which is excellent. But, I could not get a good full-flavored cup of coffeee out of this machine. I usually brew 4 cups at a time. They have a setting for 1-4 cups, but the coffeee still turned out slightly weak and slightly bitter. I returned it and will try something else.

The best Coffee ever
I have not had any problem with this coffee pot. I think it is one of the best ever. I have not had any problem with grounds in my coffee or electrical problems. Great all the way around. ... Read more

Blend ice slushies, puree cream-based soups, or whip up a delicious viniagrette dressing in Krups’ Power XL6 blender. This machine uniquely uses six blades, which, combined with its powerful motor, blends ingredients more uniformly. In addition, the XL6 offers 14 different blending speeds on an easy-to-set adjustable dial, giving you better control over the proper blending speed for your ingredients. Like many food processors, this blender also has a Vari Pulse button, allowing you to blend in spurts and avoid overprocessing. Another special button crushes ice in just seconds for making great frozen juice drinks and cocktails. The blender’s large calibrated glass jar holds up to 50 ounces of food--enough to make huge quantities of soup or sauce without having to puree in batches--and a 3-ounce measuring cup hidden in the lid assists in measuring out ingredients. The locking watertight lid ensures that food won’t escape out the top during vigorous blending and a pouring spout eliminates dripping. The glass jar and blade assembly on the XL6 are dishwasher-safe and the entire unit is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Read more

• Powerful motor and 6-blade configuration for thorough blending
• 14-speed adjustable dial, variable pulse button, ice crushing button

Krups, you gotta be kidding!
After being in storage for over a year, waiting to move into our new house, this toaster oven unit succeeded in lasting for only 5 months.Due to the length of time that it was stored, the warranty has run out and I see no reason to try and fix it.The dials are impractical and the oven racks misaligned.Toast came out fine, but now the heating unit doesn't work on the top or bottom.Look at the overall sales ranking in Kitchen and Home for this item! In the 30,000s at the time of this review.Let the buyer beware!There are better toaster ovens out there.I am going for the Cuisinart Classic - 5 stars and #80 ranking.

ToasterOven Died After 10 Months
I bought this toaster oven in August 2005. I read the reviews of this product AFTER I bought it.I was concerned about all the complaints of the toaster oven dying out around 1 year after purchase, but hoped mine would be different.Well mine's not.I am here to say that my toaster oven by Krups just completely quit working too (only 10 months later)!Krups should be ashamed of themselves, it's aparent there is a problem.Now I'm stuck with an expensive toaster oven that doesn't work and I can't find the reciept.I'm not going to bother contacting Krups after hearing all the hassles of sending it to get repaired and waiting 6 months, and then finally get it back for it to only work for 1 week.I will NEVER buy a Krups product again.The only way Krups can redeem themselves is if they do a recall.I'm sure they are not going to since they haven't already! What a shame.This product doesn't deserve even 1 star.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
I'm adding my negative review to the others....

Editorial Review

Strikingly chic with a high-tech design and stainless-steel accents, this electronic toaster features 1500 watts of power and an advanced, interactive, digital control panel. A nine-position electronic browning control provides consistent toasting slice after slice, while a memory function conveniently retains four "most-used" settings. Other settings include "waffle," "defrost," "reheat," and "bagel." Extra-large, 1-1/2- by 5-inch, self-adjusting slots evenly toast all different kinds of breads. The unique two-position bread lift with an angled design makes it easy to remove smaller pieces of toast, while an anti-jam feature stops the toasting cycle even if oversized bread jams the lift. For added safety, the toaster features a security lock to keep the appliance childproof, a safe-to-touch cool exterior to protect fingers, as well as a "stop/eject" button to stop the toast cycle at any time. The toaster comes with cord storage underneath, an easy-access carrying handle, and a front-access, CD-style crumb tray for easily removing crumbs and keeping the toaster clean. The unit measures 12-3/4 by 12-1/12 by 10 inches and carries a one-year warranty. Read more

Great machine..no problems here
I've read some good and some very bad reviews of this toaster.I ordered it for $39.99 with free shipping a couple of weeks ago, and after receiving it and using it daily, Ihave nothing bad to say about it.It works flawlessly and looks great.Sounds like some people received defective units with rust etc.., but my guess is that Amazon has corrected the matter.

I'm Very Upset!
I got this toaster today and after reading the reviews, I didn't think it could happen to me.
A great looking toaster
Price was very attractive as is the toaster.The bread could be toasted more evenly but one gets what one pays for -- and it looks great on the counter top! ... Read more
