  • Product review of cuisinart griddle.

    Having an appliance that takes on more than one function is a great asset to today’s kitchen. The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Four-In-One Grill/Griddle is a good way to have one product perform multiple functions while saving space. With a change of the cooking plates, this model can become a panini press, a contact grill, an extra-large open grill or griddle. Use it in the morning for pancakes and sausage, in the afternoon for grilled cheese or panini sandwiches and in the evening for fish and vegetables. The nonstick grill and griddle plates are dishwasher safe and have the added benefit of being designed to drain away fat and grease from your cooking food.

    Adjustable temperature control lets you know your food is cooked to your liking, plus the floating hinge adjusts to any food thickness. Also includes dishwasher-safe cups to catch grease and a scraping tool. Overall, customers providing reviews liked the Griddle’s four cooking options and its overall design including the floating handle. However, one common theme did appear to involve the Cuisinart Griddle nonstick surface of the plates beginning to peel or come off after time.

  • Small product picture of garmin forerunner 305 GPS review.

    The Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS is one of the most accurate, reliable wrist-mounted GPS trackers on the market. A top product for Garmin and a major advancement from other GPS trackers, this device is on the cutting-edge of technology. The Forerunner 305 includes heart rate monitoring, performance tracking, GPS reception and the capability to connect to Garmin’s wireless bicycle speed and cadence sensor. Few other GPS trackers come close to this innovative design. The Forerunner 301 is what started it all, but the company knew that the model lacked in the design department and set out to remedy the issue.

    Offering the same accurate, dependable features, the Forerunner 305 is a step-up from the 301, offering a distinct design that puts it over the top. Highlights include curved casing that allows the antenna to face upward, a waterproof exterior, widescreen display and high resolution that offers supreme clarity. It appears as if Garmin’s work on the Forerunner 305 has paid off, as this product has received exceptional reviews. With thousands of online ratings from product owners, the vast majority have been more than satisfied with the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS. Product owners point out such highlights as being able to customize the display screen, its dependability and consistency for more efficient workouts, and relatively fast syncing with the satellites. A small percentage of online reviews were negative, stating that the device had trouble acquiring the satellites.

  • Product review of the official spalding basketball.

    The game of basketball is played by kids, teens, and adults across the country in gyms, driveways, and city parks. Basketball is an easy game to pick up and put together anywhere you can find a basket and a ball. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have access to a nice gym with hardwood courts, leaving them to play pickup games on the asphalt of their driveway or nearest park. Any basketball lover will tell you the street game requires a whole different kind of ball and the Spalding Official Size NBA Street Basketball is THE basketball for outdoor fun. Let’s take a look at the details of this Official Spalding Basketball.

    The rough and tumble outdoor game requires a ball that can live up to the brand of basketball played in streets across the country. The Spalding Official Size NBA Street Basketball features deep, black channels for excellent handling and pebbling all over the ball to increase grip. Best of the entire ball has a tough rubber cover to withstand the asphalt of the street game. Those players dreaming of a career down the line on the hard court can get the feel for the NBA ball as the Spalding ball is the same size, 29.5 inch circumference, as the pro ball. While some users have found that the deep channel design of the Spalding Official Size NBA Street Basketball hampers the ball’s flight to the rim, the overwhelming majority of users found it to be the perfect fit for the outdoor game given its tough outer design.

  • Product review of a lasko heater.

    If you’re interested in heating a small room or office, this Lasko Heater is a product that won’t let you down. Small, compact and affordable, this heater has 1500 watts of power for warming a room safely and efficiently. You don’t have to worry about this product overheating, as it features an automatic shut-off, adjustable thermostat and a control panel that has high, low and fan-only settings. The sleek design makes this the perfect heater for a small space or tabletop, and the device comes fully assembled so you can get warm right from the start. A similar product that consumers often consider is the DeLonghi Heater, which features the same design and ceramic material.

    However, the DeLonghi is nearly double the price and difficult to set up, with some product owners struggling to get the device to be stable. For half the cost and the same customer satisfaction, product owners are happy to put their trust in the Lasko Heater. Although there are a few negative reviews, there is no consistency across reviews, suggesting that there are no major flaws with this Lasko Tower Heater. A few reviews found the unit to be too loud, while others felt the heater was insufficient. The majority of reviews were happy to report that the Lasko Electric Heater is a fast and reliable heat source that is sturdy and won’t tip over around kids or pets. Best of all, the product carries a 3 year limited warranty.

  • Product review of the stir crazy popcorn popper.

    What is family movie night without a bowl of delicious, buttered popcorn? The West Bend Stir Crazy Six-Quart Electric Popcorn Popper is a great way to make popcorn for the whole family. The main feature of the Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper is the motorized stirring rod which constantly stirs the kernels during the popping cycle to make sure every kernel pops. If you have five minutes, then you can make up to six quarts of fresh popcorn. Only one tablespoon of oil is required for every quarter cup of kernels. If you desire a butter flavor, the butter well feature has been designed to evenly distribute butter over the popcorn.

    There is no need to transfer popcorn to a bowl, either, as the plastic cover does double duty as a serving bowl; flip the unit over when the popping is done and serve. Clean up is as easy as swiping the unit with a sponge. Some customers did have issues with the teflon coating beginning to flake off after a period of usage. Most reviews that I read online, however, were very positive. Customers did note that every kernel does get popped in this Stir Crazy Popcorn Maker.
