This Sanyo Counter High Small Refrigerator Fits Well In Any Corner

October 19th, 2017

There could be many reasons why someone would want a small refrigerator like this counter-high model from Sanyo, including use in dorm rooms or small living spaces. This unit provides some nice features in an elegant looking package. With this model, you’d be getting a 3 2/3 cubic foot interior and enough space within the door to store 2-liter bottles. Inside the refrigerator boasts a crisper, a vertical can dispenser and shelves that are clear and spill-proof. In addition, the unit also has a freezer that is full-width complete with an ice compartment. Sanyo has also included manual defrost and an adjustable thermostat.

A big draw of this model is as much its style as anything else. The stainless steel reversible door comes complete with an acrylic coating that resists fingerprints and helps maintain a sleek, clean look. Black is the color for both the outside and inside. The top of the small fridge is durable and can double as a serving station or extra counter space and even can contain a twelve ounce spill. After researching reviews of the product online, it seems the biggest drawback of the small refrigerator freezer is actually getting it to your house unscathed. A number of consumers noted issues with inferior packaging, making for various damages before even plugging the unit in. It seems, though, that if you can get a model to your door in good shape, you’ll like the functionality and stylishness of these small or mini refrigerators.

Hamilton Beach Crock Pot Creates Healthy, Home Cooked Meals

October 17th, 2017

Want to be greeted by the smell of dinner upon arriving home? Are commitments cutting into your cooking time? A slow cooker could be the answer. The Hamilton Beach Set ‘N Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker is large enough to make meals for a family. The heavy, removable crock holds heat well once it reaches temperature. It also has a lock down lid feature to avoid spills. This cooker features a digital control panel. While it is programmable, it is limited in what can be programmed. For example, it cannot be set to cook on High and then switch to Low for the remainder of the cooking time.

The main advantage of a slow cooker is not having to watch food while it cooks. While Hamilton Beach’s “Set ‘N Forget” feature is wonderful for a cook, it should be noted some who purchased this model complained of the unit randomly turning itself off or switching from Low to High during cooking without warning. A slow cooker can be a great asset. With the ability to make cheaper cuts of meat tender, the Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker is an easy and affordable way for you to make a home cooked meal.

Fortunately, there were no real issues with the product in terms of quality or mechanics; consumers just felt differently about how much they were willing to spend on these toasters.
