Nice little coffee grinder ~ It gets the job done!
by reginafug
Pros: Compact, sturdy, hands-free operation, and inexpensive.  Works great!
Cons: Only grinds 1/2 cup coffee beans at a time.  Not intended as a heavy-use grinder.
After reading various reviews for the Hamilton Beach Coffee Grinder Model 80365 (and one other brand) I saw that the average rating was only 3-stars.  In spite of such average reviews, I decided that the Hamilton Beach Model 80365 ...

WHAT IS THE 411 ON THIS PRODUCT? First, let me say that I've always wanted one of these restaurant-style deep fryers, but I really didn't have a lot of room for one. That there are an awful lot of them out there - all in different sizes and shapes! ...

Margaritaville DM2000 4-Speed Blender

by moonsista
Pros: Makes perfect frozen drinks & sno-cones; easy to use; excellent quality; glass pitcher/jar; appearance
Cons: Pricey; loud; big; heavy - but worth the price, noise, space and weight
I love strawberry daiquiris, slushies and sno-cones. In general, I love cold drinks with shaved or pulverized ice in them and could, if I had time, consume three or four trays of ice cubes per day. I've struggled with regular blenders that ...

Black & Decker CBM210 Grinder
Absolute waste of money

Pros: Looks good. Cheap.
Cons: Cannot do fine grinds at all.
I received this grinder as a gift from a fellow coffee lover. I think he was impressed by the burr grinder and the price. The Black & Decker CBM210 grinder is a waste of money and counter space. Looks great, but B&D invested ...

by befus
Pros: Sturdy; performs consistently; budget price; easy to clean; utilitarian but sleek look
Cons: Cord's too short; 4 quart won't be large enough for many families
Up until a few years ago, I'd never really used a slow cooker. My mom had a crockpot when I was growing up, one of those 70s' kind of crockpots with a vegetable motif design on the outside, but she hardly ever used it, and I wasn't sure I saw the point ...

Aerobie AeroPress™ Espresso Machine & Coffee Maker
Not espresso, but very good coffee.
by indintruk
Pros: Simple to use, nearly idiot proof, and makes great coffee.
Cons: It does not make espresso as claimed.
Oh boy, where to start with a product that hypes itself this much.  The packaging is oh so cheesy; reminiscent more of a toy maker than the manufacturer of a serious coffee making device.  But, this can be forgiven, as Aerobie is a toy maker; ...

by bmcnichol
Pros: functional, lightweight, easy to use, easy to clean
Cons: no retractable cord
I don’t use a mixer much. I had an old stand mixer that I had inherited from my mother when she bought a new mixer. It was taking up too much room and I rarely used it. It also was a hideous color of green that did not match anything in my kitchen. ...
