Pyrex Storage 3-Cup Rectangular Dish with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, Clear Review

Average Reviews:

I like the fact that I can put it in a microwave and it doesn't stain. I prefer rectangular containers because they use space in my rather small refrigerator more efficiently. I wish it was a little deeper with the width and length the same. When I bought it in February, Amazon didn't give its dimensions with the product description. Now (May 16, 2009) I'm editing my original review because Amazon says it is 12.2 x 8 x 5.8 inches. This is false; perhaps those are the dimensions of the box used for shipping. Embedded in the glass, it says "3 cup - 750 ml, 7 x 5 x 1.5 in", which is far smaller than Amazon says. Amazon's error on this makes me skeptical of dimensions on other Pyrex Storage Rectangular Dishes with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, which I would otherwise consider purchasing. I like the product in principle but knowing the actual dimensions is very important to me in deciding what to buy.

Sunbeam SGC7701 0.7 Cubic Foot 700 Watt White Compact Digital Microwave Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The interior glass plate can't be properly stabilized, so anything that weighs more than a few ounces (a mug of coffee water, for instance) bumps and slides and spills its contents as it rotates. Also, it gives off a strong Polyvinyl chloride smell when heating which hasn't "out-gassed" away even after a month of use.

Cuisinart CPM-900 Popcorn Maker Review

Cuisinart CPM-900 Popcorn Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I gave this unit 1 star because in the course of a few of months I've had two now that have broken. Here's how it works when it breaks: you call customer support, they give you attitude, grill you as if you've done something wrong, they charge you $10 to ship the replacement unit and then you have to ship the broken unit back - so ~$20 to get a replacement for something under warranty. What breaks? There are 3 main pieces to the unit: the plug-in base, the heating element, and the bowl. The heating element detaches from the base, a very nice feature, but after about a month on the first unit the handles and clip that attach to the base broke. After another couple of months on the replacement the heating element stopped heating.
From a looks and *appearance* of built quality I'd give this unit 5 stars. But I think even with the vents in the top it still retains a little too much moisture. I think this keeps the popcorn from being as light as it could be. This is what I mean by good, but not great popcorn.
I've tried a lot of poppers over the years and I've learned that good popcorn matters a lot. My favorites are from [...] and Paloma De Colores (sometimes amazon sell this). Also, I've made my best popcorn with a whirly pop and just a pot on the stove. Problem with the whirly pop is they're a pain to clean and gets "icky" after a while, problem with the pot is that it's "interactive" (you have to shake it).
It's a nice looking appliance, the 3-piece design is a good idea, you can legitimately put what needs to be cleaned in the dishwasher. But you can easily double the cost of the unit in paying for shipping of replacements and you'll have to deal with very poor customer support. I'm now searching again...

I purchased these containers at Costco because I'm not too fond of plastic for health and environmental reasons. The containers are awesome. The glass is very thick and will most likely last me a lifetime. I can cook in them compared to plastic that melts even if they're just microwaved. The lids are super tight and lets nothing out. Awesome product!

Acme Sterling Maple Finish Kitchen Cart Review

Acme Sterling Maple Finish Kitchen Cart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really looking forward to this cart, as it was really needed and its hard to find a large cart like this at such a low price.
The cart itself is pretty nice, and I probably would give it four stars if not for the packaging problems (see below). It is particle board furniture, so I didn't expect much. There are some issues with its construction that are a little annoying. The dowels used to build it are probably too big, and when you press them in to get a good seal on the joints (which sometimes you don't even get leading to visible gaps in the top portion) they press through the other end of the particle board! This happened three times, luckily on the very top of the unit so you can't see it. Besides that though it looks good, and seems sturdy enough. The power cord included is nice, but it has ungrounded connections. Most moden microwaves have three prongs and wouldn't even work!
The major issues I have are with the delivery of the package and with the ACME company itself. The package was it really bad shape when it arrived, with a visible hole in the box. Luckily I don't think anything was lost as it was in a corner with only larger pieces. There was some visible damage on two or three of the pieces which sadly I couldn't hide. In the end however, this wasn't enough of an issue for me to send it back to amazon and wait for another box. The biggest problem was that there were no assembly directions in the box! I decided to call ACME, because I figured that they would be more likely to have the instructions than amazon. I got transfered around a little bit and the last guy I talked to said that he had the instructions but refused to email or fax them to me. His excuse was that because I did not buy from them directly, he has no idea if I actually own the unit. I really don't understand what that has to do with getting instructions. When I attempted to explain this to him he hung up on me. I called amazon, and they were more helpful. They said that they didn't have extras lying around, and the only way to get the instruction was a return/exchange (which again, the box is 60-70lbs, and I didn't want to worry about it). I told him about the ACME company rep, and the amazon customer service agent said he would call the directly and request the information. After calling ACME he said that they would give me the information via email shortly. That was over 5 hours ago, and still no email from ACME.
I finally gave up and decided to try and build the thing myself using the picture on the website. Luckily, the assembly was pretty straight-forward, and I was able to build it without instructions.
So the unit itself is fine, amazon customer service was surprisingly quick and helpful, and the ACME company has absolutely horrible customer service. I will never buy from them again, even through Amazon.

Have had this microwave since October and it still works great. It is really sleek looking as well. The great option is that if the oven overheats the microwave... the fan automatically goes on and will not turn off until the desired temp. It is great and the sensor cook actually works on this model. Another great surprise was that you can actually defrost meat in this one without it cooking the meat. Would recommend it and are now trying to aquire the matching oven.

Whirlpool : GH7208XRQ Microwave Review

Whirlpool : GH7208XRQ Microwave
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We put in a totally new kitchen and chose this microwave to be installed above our range. Excited, we used every cooking feature and were so excited - at first. We noticed first the paint on the inside of the door was peeling and falling off in pieces on to the stove. Called and talked to Whirlpool; they had me call their licensed repairman in our area. We had to pay I believe it was $120 for him to come out and agree there is a problem but the company would not recognize there was a problem, saying they had never heard of this problem and it must have been something we had done or were doing. Checking the web I found many stories of people with the same problem but the company still insisted they had not heard of it. Now, today, my daughter was using the microwave, simply to reheat something, and it began to smoke and smell extremely strong like electrical burning. I am now afraid of this unit and will try, again, to find more information on this problem. We paid a lot of money for this unit and have now had it for 2 years. (I will find the exact date before I call Whirlpool). I do not expect them to agree to the problem again. I would not ever recommend this unit to anyone!!!

Bacon Wave Rack Review

Bacon Wave Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Was absolutely loving this product, until I had one little problem with the skewers that come with it. The bacon I cooked the other day seems to have gotten hot enough to melt the plastic (or silicon) and break the skewer in two while in the microwave the other day. The product works wonderfully - lovely crispy bacon just the way I like it, but if you fill it completely, the inside pieces cook faster than the outside. It could stand to have bigger handles too, but generally I love this.

I bought a package of these General Electric appliance bulbs to use in the light in an overhead range hood. These are supposed to be usable in an oven, so the heat in the hood would be far less.
Two of these bulbs burned out in less than six months of very limited use. (I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I avoid it whenever possible.) I have experienced premature burn-out with other GE bulbs as well.

This thing is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy and durable (doesnt bend) with an ultra fine mesh screen. I think this is the 13 inch size (use for 12 inch skillets). It may seem that it is easy to find a splatter screen, but most of the ones out there are crap so people end up breaking them or not using them. I was looking for a good one for months, and this is the best out of the dozen or so that I looked at (including the ridiculous $50 All Clad model). Although not absolutely necessary for me, I like the added feet so that you can set this down without making a mess.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a decent microwave but it was a gigantic metal beast so I bought this one to save counter top space. I wasn't asking for much since I only use a microwave to reheat left-overs, after all, cooking is better left to the oven. This microwave is small but still fits the largest plates I own, and it does an even job. I can't seem to set the power on it, and the timer function makes one barely noticeable beep when done. The microwave is so light that opening the door would slide the whole microwave down the counter until I put some rough furniture stickers on the bottom to increase friction. Despite these very minor problems I'm happy with it!

Frigidaire Gallery : GLMV169HQ Microwave Review

Frigidaire Gallery : GLMV169HQ Microwave
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When our counter top microwave of over 13 years finally stopped working, we had to look for a new microwave. First off, we needed to find a BISQUE colored microwave and I wanted to try to match our oven. We have a dual fuel oven that happens to be made by Frigidaire but I was open to any Bisque colored Over The Range (OTR) microwave. While looking online, I was surprised to see very few reviews and even fewer places to get the latest model microwave that places like Frigidaire make.
While the pictured microwave here is black, I have learned that you can get white or bisque by asking for the proper model number and having it special ordered. I actually found that Lowes was extremely helpful in this and was able to get my bisque model in only 10 business days from the day they placed the special order. Shipped direct to the store and saved me money on shipping. My cost was reduced further by a matching Home depot coupon of 10% off.
The install was relatively easy. The directions are poor but I located the studs to secure the back bracket with some modifications (I needed to drill another hole to catch the stud). The install I did used the recirculating fan so I did not deal with a vented install. That looked challenging.
As for usage of the microwave, we are very happy with it. The microwave appears more powerfull than our previous one. Then again, our previous one was obviously on its last leg. The senor heating for popcorn worked perfectly (to our surprise). There is nothing too fancy as for buttons and options. The optional rack seems like a waste so we leave it out. The power levels work well once you figure it is different from our old Sharp model.
All in all, I have no complaints. For a basic, solid microwave, this will work well. One thing I did learn was that reviews of GE were overall poor. Samsung seemed to be the best but they don't do bisque. Good luck!

Whirley-Pop Theater Gift Set with Stovetop Popcorn Popper Review

Whirley-Pop Theater Gift Set with Stovetop Popcorn Popper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Give the Wabash people a call. They will ask you when you bought the popper and they will register your product. Then they will send you a brand new lid no questions asked. They will continue to do this for the next 25 years. I wish the entire gear system was made of metal, but with impeccable customer service like Wabash provides, I can overlook that.
As for the popper itself, the other reviews pretty much cover it. More fun and healthier than microwave popcorn and easier to store than a hot air job. I use 1/8 cup olive oil to 1/2 cup popcorn and don't even bother turning the gear until I hear the first kernel explode. I'm hoping this will save wear and tear for next time. I melt a tablespoon or two of butter over the top just 'cause I like the taste and add a little salt right in the kettle (be sure to use a potholder...it's hot!). Once the popcorn is gone, I fit the lid back on and stick it back under the cabinet. I don't even bother to wipe it out. Keeps it nice and seasoned!
