The good...the bad... the ugly
I was given the Nostalgia fondue fountain last year for Christmas and just used it for the first time the other day (almost a year later) I was really worried about the operation of the machine, since the instructions list pages of things that "can go wrong" and what not to do! Now the machine is on the noisy side but I was fairly happy at the way the machine worked. I didn't have the bad balance problem that some others complain about. This machine is a little difficult to clean, but extremely easy to put together. I got online and found a great chocolate recipe that has you adding 3 bags of assorted choc. chips. (I used, semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and 60% cocoa chips) it's a nice balance of flavor. I put them in a gallon size ziplock with 1/3 cup oil. Cook on high in the microwave for 4 min. When done be sure to use your hands to blend the chips together by squeezing the bag. When the chips are all disolved and blended then cut the corner of the ziplock and squeeze into pre-heated fondue fountain. The chocolate favor is a huge hit and the microwave method for the chocolate makes for a very easy cleanup that's fool proof. My last complaint with the machine is that the cord is very short so in most cases if you are putting this on your dinner table you would need an extension cord to be able to plug it in. Not a bad starter machine for the price.

Please Be Quiet!
We used ours for the first time in February, during the Olympics. We had some friends over for a viewing party and decided against putting it in the TV room with us. It is just way too loud. I've sort of lost my enthusiasm for using it now. The Rival one I just noticed said it has a "whisper quiet" motor. Truly? I may have to check that out. I'd recommend not getting the Nostalgia one, if you like to be able to hear your guests and background music.

VERY LOUD- GET THE RIVAL CFF5 INSTEAD
A relative originally gave us a Rival cff5 chocolate fountain as a gift and it works great and runs very quiet. So we thought we would buy another to do cheese so we bought the Nostalgic Electrics brand chocolate fountain on an online auction. what a mistake! The Nostalgic cost about the same as the Rival but is very noisy and holds far less chocolate. The Rival fountain has a removable bowl and is much easier to clean. I would say that with the noise the Nostalgic brand makes when it runs it is defective right from the manufacturer. We are trying to get rid of theNostalgic fountain now. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

With an exclusive six-blade configuration and powerful 400-watt motor, this efficient blender works great for smoothies, frozen drinks, soups, salsas, and more. Its easy-to-use touchpad has selections for eight mixing modes, a powerful ice-crusher, and a pulse mode for added control, while a soft-start feature helps to prevent splattering. The unit easily stirs, whips, chops, mixes, purees, and liquefies with six blending speeds, and with its juice-extractor attachment, blended fruit drinks only take a few minutes to make. The blender's 50-ounce, calibrated, glass jar is designed with a dripless-pour spout for easy serving, as well as a watertight locking lid with a convenient, built-in, 3-ounce measuring cup for easily adding ingredients. Its blade assembly is removable for quick clean-up, and the unit measures 14-3/4 by 8-3/4 by 8 inches.Read more

Most convenient blender available
The Krups GMA211-70 Power Extreme VI blender is the most convenient blender I ever used. Easy handling; easy to clean not even necessary to take apart; just rinse and put in the dish washer! No spats when using, due to the perfect sizing and wide opening with good sealing lid. Easy to pourA true top quality item all the way. Love the easy to clean front with the covered push buttons. Looks like new all the time. Is easy to store because of its weight. The button functions are true to what they say they do.
Beware of this blender
My husband and I registered for a similar Krups blender (model #243) two years ago for our wedding. The blender has been a huge disappointment. First, the letters and numbers on the main face washed off with plain WATER. Next the blender started to shake, getting worse so that now we both must hold it down to keep it from flying off of the counter. This shaking has cracked the base. Since over a year has gone by, Krups will not replace, repair or refund. What a shame! Please don't waste you money in the same way we did. ... Read more

Makes lukewarm cocoa
I bought this unit expecting to save money on trips to Starbucks. At least Starbucks makes HOT chocolate! This unit makes warm cocoa at best. And it fails to make a foamy, frothy drink, either.
waste of money
Being a Hot Chocolate lover I purchased this last winter. It worked very good the first few times I used it and then it was hit or miss. I took it out this year to give it another try and it will not work. It is also not worth the hassle. It is not that easy to clean.
