    December 14th, 2019

    Product review of oster beehive blender.

    A cool Retro Blender-The Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender is a modern day kitchen tool disguised as something straight out of the 1950s. Its retro look makes it an interesting additional to any kitchen. However, it is more than just a conversation piece; it is also a very powerful and reliable blender. The Oster Beehive Blender has a 500 watt motor that is powerful enough to cut through ice. The glass container will hold 40 ounces giving you ample room to create your next smoothie or milkshake. It is easy enough to take apart and clean and the glass container is dishwasher safe. The instruction booklet included contains recipes to get you started.

    The “spinner “ found in the base of most blenders today is plastic but this Oster blender features a metal shaft that makes for a strong and longer lasting blender. You are unlikely to find many blenders it this price range offering such quality. Powerful, cool looking and not too expensive it is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a blender for their kitchen. Oster has hit a homerun with the Beehive Blender.

    The Cuisinart 7 Speed Hand Mixer Is A Dependable Hand Blender

    December 1st, 2019

    Product review of cuisinart 7 speed hand mixer.

    Cooking and baking are made a more enjoyable experience when the chef utilizes the right tools. A great tool to have around the kitchen is a dependable, sturdy hand-held mixer. This version, the Cuisinart HM-70 Power Advantage Seven-Speed Hand Mixer, gives you many speed options in your hands. First, this model boasts a “220-watt motor with automatic feedback” and seven mixing speeds from which to choose. A touch of the cook’s finger on the mixer’s slide control is all it takes to switch between the speeds. Another nifty feature is the swivel cord that makes the mixer conducive for use with both right- and left- handed persons.

    The beaters, which eject at the push of a lever, are extra-long and dishwasher safe. Besides the instruction manual, a spatula and recipe booklet are included with this Cuisinart 7 Speed Hand Mixer. A favorite feature of the unit based on reviews at Amazon appears to be the slow or gentle start feature which allows users to start mixing slow so as to not cause splattering. Being able to mix heavy dough or light batters with ease using the same product proves this mixer would be very handy to have around the kitchen.

    Haier Portable Dishwasher Is A Solid Performing Tabletop Dishwasher

    November 22nd, 2019

    Small product picture of portable dishwasher review.

    If you don’t have a dishwasher in your home or apartment, don’t think you have to wash all your dishes by hand. With the Haier portable dishwasher, you can enjoy the convenience of a dishwasher anywhere you’d like. This unit fits compactly on a counter or tabletop and accommodates up to four place settings. The electronic touch pad includes three wash cycles, and other highlights include a drain pump and filtration system. To use the portable dishwasher, there is a quick sink-connect option or a fixed-installation option, and when not in use, you can store the dishwasher in a cabinet or closet.

    Although there are several portable dishwashers on the market, many cost hundreds of dollars, while the Haier model comes at an affordable price. Some consumers have debated over the EdgeStar Portable Dishwasher that has a similar cost, a 4-place setting capacity and stainless steel interior and spray arm. However, many consumers have complained about the size of the dishwasher, saying that it’s not capable of holding standard-sized plates. The Haier 4-Place-Setting Tabletop Dishwasher has received great reviews, and customers love how well it cleans, the large capacity and the reasonable cost, making it one of the most affordable portable dishwashers on the market. There have been some complaints about the dishwasher leaking, but online reviewers recommend using a wrench to tighten the drain pump and then wriggling the pipes so that extra water can drain into a pan. Overall, this is an excellent dishwasher for singles and couples who would like to free up time from washing dishes by hand.

    This Sharp Small Microwave Oven Is Compact Yet Powerful

    October 16th, 2019

    Product review of small microwave oven.

    With crazy frenetic paced lives, microwaves have become more and more important in our daily lives. It is important to get a microwave that can handle all the different tasks we throw at it, not just re-heat a cup of coffee. The Sharp 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave is perfect for a single person or a couple looking for a powerful machine in a small sleek package. This microwave defrosts meat and poultry by weight instead of just a time setting, taking the guess work out of perfect defrosting. There are 15 automatic settings at differing power levels depending on what you are cooking. There are 4 cooking options for popular foods for either servings.

    There are also 6 reheat options that make it easy to perfectly heat popular foods like pizza, rolls, muffins, and beverages. The convenient Minute Plus button sets the oven on high for a minute. One of my favorite features of this microwave is the popcorn option. There is a sensor that monitors the popcorn to make sure it is popped to perfection without burning or a plethora of un popped kernels. This feature works regardless of the brand of popcorn or the size of the bag. This comfort or small microwave oven is easy to use, but fully loaded with great features. It looks good and doesn’t take up a lot of premium counter space. It is made by Sharp so it is high quality. If there is only 1 or 2 of you, this is a perfect little multitasking powerhouse.

    Customers on Amazon had a mixed bag of reviews for this product. Many of the reviewers stated the product worked great, but thought it should be noted the processor is good for small amounts of food only. Most found operating and cleaning up the processor easy. It should be noted that a few customers had negative experiences with a plastic ring becoming dislodged from inside the processor and being chopped and blended into the pureeing food.
