Green Queen Wheatgrass Juicer - Home Model Electric Wheatgrass Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been drinking wheatgrass for years, but I only recently decided to start juicing it at home. I have to admit, at first I thought it might be difficult, but this machine makes it really easy. I can put it together, juice a few ounces, and clean it within a few minutes. Its also a lot cheaper than many of the other juicers like it, but it works just as good if not better. Its also really small so it doesn't take up too much space in my kitchen. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to juice wheatgrass at home.

Vitamix CIA Professional Series Variable-Speed Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor and 64-Ounce Jar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)However, please be aware that unit cannot handle heavy loads that thicken quickly. Be sure there is plenty of liquid if used on high speed. Unit twice in two weeks shut down on me, once for 8 hours because the ingredients thickened quickly (potato-leek soup). I had to finish recipe in my food processor. Because of this sensitivity, if I had to do it over again, I would put my investment elsewhere.

With its 2-plus peak horsepower motor that generates blade-tip speeds up to 240 miles per hour, this versatile countertop appliance works great for blending, pureeing, chopping, juicing, grinding, and more. The blender features a laser-cut stainless-steel blade assembly that can crush through ice in seconds, container-to-base drive coupling made of durable metal-to-metal (not rubber or plastic) to ensure long-lasting high-quality performance, and variable speed control for processing at just the right speed for the task at hand. Flip the switch up to "high" for maximum speed or down to "variable" for adjusting the speed with the 1 to 10 control knob. Another switch makes it easy to turn the unit on and off. In addition, the blender's oversized 64-ounce BPA-free jar creates a powerful vortex that forces ingredients up from the blade and back down through the center to ensure thorough blending. Other highlights include a generous jar handle, a secure-fitting lid with a removable insert, and nonslip feet for stability during operation. Make everything from delicious homemade dips, pureed soups, and appetizers to creamy sauces, dressings, desserts, beverages, fruit smoothies, and more--the options are endless. An exclusive new recipe book comes included, "Recipes and Techniques from the CIA Master Chefs", which features over 20 recipes developed by the CIA's Certified Master Chefs. The blender also comes with an instructional DVD, an owner's manual, and a space-saving easel-style recipe book packed with over 300 easy-to-prepare recipes from some of the country's top professional chefs, including Joanne Weir, Michael Symon, and Hugh Carpenter.

Champion Juicer G5-NG853S-SILVER Household Juicer Review

Juicelady JL500 Pro Electric Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Juicelady a couple of months ago, and it works wonders. The engine is great, and shreads even the thickest of carrots with ease. The juicer extracts the juice, and lets you enjoy the yummy juice without any pulp of any kind. I love pulp, but man, this lady is a great juicelady! The only problem I have with this machine is the cleanup. The machine is quite large. The worst part is cleaning the net container. Those who own this know what I'm talking about. I suggest you use a toothbrush when cleaning the net.

Made by Salton, the handsome Juiclady JL500 14-inch tall by 11-inch deep by 8-inch wide, heavy duty Juicelady juicer makes it possible to create juice-bar style juices at home. No need to peel most foods; simply feed pieces through the tube in the clear plastic top--pulp is ejected into a molded white plastic container--and the juice pours through the stainless-steel spout into a pitcher or tumbler. Two power settings handle hard vegetables like carrots and soft fruits like bananas and tomatoes. Wash with warm, soapy water with occasional dishwasher cleaning of some parts. An easy, yummy way to a more healthful diet, the Juicelady Pro comes with a one-year limited warranty and a recipe pamphlet.

Fatal Funnel FFW-6P Wasp and Hornet Traps, 6-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product worked so well that I had to dump all of the yellow jackets out because there was no room left for the new ones to drown! Seriously the surface of the bait liquid was covered with bodies and the new Yellow Jackets would just sit on top of the old dead ones and rarely drown. The secret is in the baiting and the time of year. The older the bait the better it works so try not to throw out your bait when you need to empty your bottle. My wife and kids love sitting and watching the yellow jackets fly in and get stuck. That's how fast it works!A little YellowJacketOlogy:
During spring and early summer these things feed on bugs and other sources of protein. They take this protein back to their hive and feed it to the larve which in turn secrete a sugary substance as waste. The older Yellow Jackets (YJs) feed on this waste. During the late summer all of the larve are grown and hunting/feeding on their own so there is no source of sugar in the colony. The older YJs start to scavenge around human garbage, picnics, etc looking for sugars. My guess is that the negative reviewers were trying to use these baits earlier in the season. Next spring I will try this again but with more meat since that is what the YJs will be looking for at the time and update my review.
Bait:
1 cup water
1/2 cup juice
2 tbsp sugar
several small pieces of raw ground beef or other raw meat
1-2 drops of mild dish detergent (To break the surface tension of the water for rapid drowning)

PUR Flavor Cartridges, 2-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)the cartridges do not last long enough for the price, even when they function properly. I am on my third cartridge. The first one worked well enough, but it only lasted a few days for my family of three. The second cartridge didn't work at all. The third cartridge dispenses about half of the time the button is pressed.
A few warnings:
---be prepared to push the flavor button several times to get any flavor at all
---the claim on the package that each cartridge can flavor up to 75 servings is absurdly optimistic
---the cartridge easily becomes dislodged from its resting place during use
---the pitcher must be refilled incessantly, as its filtered water compartment is quite small
---if you try to pour water while there is any water in the unfiltered reservoir, the lid will fall off
The good news is that the taste of the flavor additive is pretty nice, if you're accustomed to diet beverages.
I was hoping to keep a few water bottles out of the recyling bin or landfill and perhaps save a bit of money while doing so. I'm returning this product. I'll probably buy something similar in the future if a more reliable model is developed. Great idea, PUR, but poor execution....

Roma Food Strainer and Sauce Maker for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this strainer for my current cherry tomato crop (as usual, I planted way too many), and it has made short work of squishing the pulp out while separating the skins and seeds. I simply wash the tomatoes and dump them in. The only reason I give less than 5 starts is that the suction on the bottom kept releasing periodically, even when I tried sending fewer tomatoes through. I tried dampening the bottom, which helped, but it still eventually lost its grip. Also, the plastic gasket that is supposed to keep tomato guts from squeezing out the top of the screen (top as in end closest to strainer body) doesn't fit well (at least in mine), and won't stay in the machine. This doesn't seem to make much difference, however, as long as you have everything on tight.
Overall, it was a good purchase.

Urnex 14-CL12-3-13 Urnex Cleancaf Coffee Machine Cleaner and Descaler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just my TWO CENTS:
Expensive to use? Bitter taste after usage? Not Recommended by OEM's? Use lemon juice? Maybe it's just me, but I really don't get it!
Unless you're using your machine commercially to make hundreds of shots per week, you're wasting your money, not to mention killing your machine by decalcifying constantly. I have nearly 6,000 shots (!) on my one year-old Saeco Incanto Sirius machine and I just finished my FIRST 3-package Cleancaf box. In all this time, the machine has only prompted me to decalcify ONCE. It bases this on a water pH test you perform at the time of new machine commissioning and the coresponding water hardness setting of the machine resulting from the set-up test. I ignore the prompt and just decalc every THREE months or so (i.e, like the package instructions recommend, LOL!) I've never noticed a decrease in water flow (during coffee or steam/hot water wand usage), nor has there been any decrease in coffee temperature. FWIW, I fill the machine reservoir (I have spare reservoir that I use for decalcifying only) all the way up with warm water and one packet of Cleancaf...it has a two-litre capacity. Then I rinse with TWO reservoirs full of clean warm water. It DOES take a while....the machine is next to the sink, so I aim the wand at the drain, let the thing go and walk away to do other things. I NEVER have an issue with taste after cleaning and I am anal about coffee taste, freshness and machine cleanliness. FWIW, the machine uses the Aqua Prima in-reservoir micropore and charcoal filter, and I use supermarket-brand spring water (loaded with mineral and micro-organisms, LOL) in the one-gallon jug (lots of them, with the amt. of espresso I brew, LOL!).
For those of you thinking of using a non-authorized acidic solution (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) for decalcifying, think again. SAECO USA as well as Whole Latte Love (authorized SAECO sales/service) will tell you to use SAECO Dezcal (it's also made by Urnex)or Urnex Cleancaf ONLY for decalcification. They're non-toxic, bio-degradeable, chelation-process cleaners (Dezcal is weak sulfonic acid, Cleancaf is classified "non-hazardous" per their respective MSDS hazardous sheets). If you use lemon juice or white vinegar you will very likely cause water circuit damage and VOID your warrantee. Don't believe me, call the manufacturer and ask yourself...it's in the owner's manual as well. BTW, most Starbucks Barrista espresso machines are OEM'ed by SAECO in Bologna, Italia.
My machine has been in to the local factory authorized repair center (broken grinder...fixed FOC under the OEM warrantee), and they remarked on how spotless the machine was, inside, outside, in the brew circuit and in the hot water circuit...especially considering the amount of shots I make!
SAECO, WLL and the local warrantee station (The Repair Shack) also recommend Urnex Cafiza (I use the Tablets, you can also buy it in powder form) to keep the COFFEE circuit as spotless as the HOT WATER circuit. You can see it work as it "peels" the layers of stuck-on coffee residue that even constant rinsing on my part (remember, I am anal, LOL!) does not remove and flushes it out. That, my friends, DEFINITELY results in me being able to fully appreciate my Lavazza Super Crema-based espresso, caffe lungo (caffe crema) and capuccino with NO bitterness caused by a dirty machine! If you're going to spend the money on an expensive machine, and use expensive coffee, you might as well get great tasting caffe, right?
My vote: HIGHLY Recommended. Just use it sparingly and enjoy your coffee!

Corelle Coordinates Secret Garden 8-Ounce Acrylic Glass, Set of 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must have ordered these "glasses" in mistake. They look okay, at least while they are new, but the size is for a small child. They are very tiny.
Besides, when you wash them, either in the dishwasher or in the dish rack, water accumulates at the top, because it has borders that hold the water. Not practical. This problem must probably apply to all sizes.

Weston Wheat Grass Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a good juicer. It's heavy, but it's cast iron so it's expected. I use it in my dorm for wheatgrass that I grow and it's great. Just make sure you wash it immediately, you wouldn't want it to get rusty, right?
All the parts work well. It even has an attachable rubber "foot" so you don't scratch things or maybe it's for better grip. I'm a 19 year old girl and I can crank it just fine.
It's not beautiful but it gets the job done. :)
I'm going to try apples and celery and other fruits and veggies sometime.

Ninja Blender NJ600 XL - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I drink a lot of smoothies that contain frozen fruit and various vegetables. I was using a standard blender that could be purchased anywhere for normal household use. It was not powerful enough to handle all of the frozen fruit and items that I threw in it and the motor burnt out very quickly. I purchased the Ninja Blender to replace it, and here is my feedback after using it daily for two weeks:
Perks:
It is very powerful. I can fill it full of frozen fruit, various vegetables and greens, and it blends them very quickly and effortlessly. For that, I love it! It is easy and safe to use, even my children can operate it safely. It has a large pitcher that is easy to pour from. It is easy to clean-no need to disassemble it, the design is brilliant in that the parts are solid and well constructed, and easy to remove from the base to wash.
Downfalls:
It DOES NOT blend to a smooth consistency! If the most important feature of a blender for you is that it blend the contents smoothly, this IS NOT the blender for you. It does break everything down quickly and efficiently-power is not a problem. But no matter how long you blend the contents, they will still be grainy or "minced" at best. In other words, I must still "chew" my smoothie a bit. I believe it is the shape of the blades that are the downfall of this blender.
Because I blend daily and demand a lot from the blender, yet cannot afford the $300-400 units that would blend the way I need them to, I am opting to keep the Ninja. I am surrendering to the fact (for financial reasons) that it will not blend smoothly. I make my smoothies using a two-step process: cycle it through the Ninja first breaking everything up as much as possible, then pouring the amount I want to drink into my Magic Bullet and blending it again to a smooth consistency (I already owned the Magic Bullet, but rarely used it before because it simply wasn't big enough to suit my needs). This works for me because I make a huge Ninja pitcher full in the morning and put it in the fridge, then pour out and blend small amounts to drink in the Magic bullet throughout the day, "fast food" if you will.
It would be a benefit to the manufacturer of the Ninja Blender to construct an additional blade that will fit on the base of the current unit that blends to a smooth consistency.
***UPDATE***
I decided to contact the manufacturer to find out if there was a better blade available for the Ninja Blender. I was unhappy that their customer support was a non-English speaking representative. I could barely understand what he was saying, he could not understand me...I THINK that I discovered there is not another blade available that will puree my food/smoothies to a smooth consistency.
Ultimately, I returned the Ninja Blender. I grew tired of my two-step process described above, and felt it was not worth the money spent versus a less expensive blender that was perhaps not as powerful but would puree to a smooth consistency.
Because of my unpleasant experience with the customer service, and the fact that the blender does not puree, I reduced the rating to 2-star, and would NOT recommend this product for the money spent.
I would not recommend this product.
