You will not believe what the folks at Frigidaire are now selling to their loyal customers. First of all, Frigidaire no longer even exists as Frigidaire (the refrigerator specialists) since they were bought by Electrolux, the vacuum cleaner specialists. Expanding on their vacuum cleaning line of products, Electrolux has gotten into the Microwave oven business, as well as other appliance manufacturing businesses. Now that you're aware of the fact that today's Frigidaire is NOT the Frigidaire of yesteryear, I will tell you about THIS microwave oven. It is very simple: This microwave oven is THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN. Why? Only ONE REASON: The CLOCK does NOT change from A.M. to P.M., nor from P.M. to A.M. at either noon or midnight! That's right, the "people" who programmed the CLOCK of this model have FAILED TO MAKE THE CLOCK CHANGE FROM A.M. to P.M. or from P.M. to A.M. at 12:00! The clock is the most simplest of things in a microwave oven, yet, Electrolux (or Frigidaire) could NOT make even the clock work properly! Amazing as it is to write, customers must know. It's not an isolated problem as the factory representative tried to convince me of. Instead, I convinced THEM that THEIR oven's manufacturing was defective. If they can't make the CLOCK work, how can you trust them to make the rest of the electronics work? Even if they did work, the fact that the clock can't tell the right time, makes me doubt the reliability of the entire unit. How can you trust this product that can't even display the correct time?!

Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Clear Review

Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Clear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you need some wide, shallow mixing bowls, these are a nice choice. Their design is attractive and basic, and you know the benefits of Pyrex. Before buying, you should consider stainless steel instead, as it is lighter (these are a bit heavy) and won't explode into sharp bits if you drop it on your tile floor. Also, bear in mind that these bowls are shallow, so if you are a messy mixer (or use an electric mixer or a fast whisk), you may end up slopping ingredients out over the side.
Their wide shape and clear material lets them do double duty as informal serving bowls, which a true (high sided) mixing bowl doesn't do very well.
In short, these are nice to have around for certain uses, but choose high-sided stainless steel bowls as your main set.

Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ Review

Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Breville Smart Oven is a must-have kitchen appliance. In many/most cases it can serve as a replacement for it larger cousin the conventional oven/range. However, the Smart Oven is much more energy efficient (using roughly 50% less electricity) and can fit into the smallest of kitchens
Things that we enjoy
+ Depending on the setting (Broil/Bake/Toast) you have the ability to manage the temperature zones in the oven. This helps to ensure perfect cooking depending on you individual requirements.
+ The magnetic door helps to prevent any burns (see video)
+ Door seals nicely - reducing energy waste and the unneeded heating of your home.
+ 9 programmable settings - HOWEVER - you also have the ability to tailor the settings to your individual needs.
+ Nice Stainless steel finish will look nice in all kitchens.
+ Despite being stainless steel the surface of the oven does not show too many fingerprints.
+ Three pans included - Pizza - Baking - Broiling
+ Great operating manual
+ Not just a standard toaster oven - this is also a convection oven!
+ AS A OVEN IT WORKS GREAT
Areas to improve
- The cord is a little short (less than 3 feet) - while many people may appreciate a short cord it does mean that you have to have outlet near a space where you plan to use the oven.
- You may not be able to operate other appliances on your electrical circuit - At full heat the Smart Oven will pull between 15-20 amps - make sure that you have at least a 20amp breaker on the plug that you are using.Final Verdict.... this is an easy 5 stars - purchase with confidence.

Attractively housed in reinforced stainless steel, this 1800-watt convection toaster oven features a 4/5-cubic-foot nonstick interior and Element IQ technology, which provides smarter control over the heat. Choose from nine pre-set functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, or Warm; each one comes with its own pre-programmed temperature and cooking time, eliminating the guesswork. The unit's broil function activates just the top heating elements to melt and brown food; its toast function activates the top and bottom heating elements to seal and crisp; and the bake function uses both the top and bottom heating elements, as well as the convection fan, to ensure thorough cooking, inside and out. Instead of the oven's five quartz heating elements having a fixed wattage, however, Element IQ functions much like a dimmer on a light switch, increasing or decreasing the power with a simple turn of the knob. The time and temperature for the pre-set programs can easily be adjusted to accommodate individual preferences--the oven will even remember the new settings for next time.
Thoughtfully designed, the oven's push-button and turn-knob control panel, as well as its blue back-lit LCD screen, makes it effortless to operate the unit and to see the current function, temperature, and adjusts made. Other highlights include fast heat-up times, energy-efficient operation, three rack positions, a wire rack that ejects automatically halfway out of the oven for safe removal of hot items, an embossed and ribbed top surface that can be used as a warming tray, and a front-access removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Combining durable materials and powerful performance with a strikingly modern design, users will want to leave the oven out on display and conveniently accessible for everyday use. Accessories include a 13-inch non-stick pizza pan, a 12-by-12-inch enamel baking pan, and a 12-by-12-inch enamel broil rack. The oven measures 18-1/2 by 12-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Medelco 1-WK112-BL-4 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle Review

Medelco 1-WK112-BL-4 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this kettle strictly for heating water for French press coffee making. Since this kettle is glass there is no chance of it imparting off flavors to the water (then the coffee). I got tired of my metal kettles becoming discolored and rusted, even with proper care. I love the idea of glass for coffee making and this kettle by Medelco is indispensable for coffee making!
It is also easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and looks wonderful. It holds 64 ounces of water when filled to the bottom of the rim, however DO NOT boil that much as it will erupt and shoot steaming water up out of the lid. I feel safe however boiling 50 to 55 ounces of water, which is more than enough for even the largest French presses.
I like to use a probe thermometer to monitor the water temp and stop at 200F, which is the ideal temperature for coffee brewing. This kettle does have a whistling lid that I use (I simply insert the thermometer into the whistling hole). The plastic handle is sturdy and remains cool (remember you can't use HIGH heat and expect the handle to stay cool, I like medium-high heat) to the touch and pouring is easy (the lid must be removed to pour). All the componets are thick and durable (especially the glass). With minimal care this kettle should last a lifetime.
All the features I wanted in a coffee kettle and add to that a fantastic price. Although inexpensive this kettle does not feel cheap. A wonderful value!

A modern take on the classic stovetop tea kettle, this uniquely designed item features a thermal-shock-resistant glass carafe that not only allows for viewing water as it boils, but that also helps ensure pure-tasting water--no chance of imparting off flavors to the water like with metal kettles. To use, simply fill with up to 12 cups of water, snap the lid into place, and place on the range to boil. The kettle's lab-quality borosilicate glass can be used on gas or electric stovetops; the included metal heat diffuser, shaped like a three-leaf clover, should always be placed between electric range coils and the glass carafe for safety. The kettle also provides a stay-cool lid that whistles to indicate when water has reached a full boil, and it removes easily with a slight pull of the small, curved handle when it's time to pour. Other highlights include a large heat-resistant phenolic handle that offers a secure grip, a drip-free spout for graceful serving, and a rugged design that cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Ideal for making tea, coffee, soup, and more, the 12-cup whistling kettle measures approximately 9 by 6 by 7-1/2 inches.

Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter Review

Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is in response to some comments regarding wire and fuse size selections for this inverter and others like it.
In response to other review quoting a table from the National Electric Code (NEC). While the table that was posted is correct for 115VAC (household voltage) is does not translate directly to 12VDC (automotive voltage). When dealing with a 12 volt system there is less concern with wires overheating, at least in the way that the NEC considers it, and far more concern with voltage drop. When running wiring a reasonable distance (a couple hundred feet or so) there is little concern with voltage drop with AC power. But when dealing with DC, simply increasing your wiring distance 5-10' can have a drastic effect on voltage drop. That is why this inverter should be wired with, at the very least, #4 wire and really should be installed with #2 or thicker, especially if you need to run wire 15 or 20 feet or more.
The purpose of a fuse in a DC system is to protect the rest of your electrical system in the event of a short. That is why you always want to install your fuse as close to the battery as possible (no more then 3' if you can help it). As far as the amperage goes, there is a really good quick reference chart for automotive wire size that can be found at Tessco's web site here:[Turns out I can't link to an outside page so I'll paste the contents of the table at the bottom]. But to boil it down, you can safely fuse a 12VDC circuit at 150, or 200 amps, or more on #4, #2 or #0 wire.
Now this unit at full load is something like 85% efficient. So if you do the math -- 1500 Watts / 12 Volts / .85 efficiency = ~147 amps, A 150 AMP FUSE IS REQUIRED. If you take peak power into account you would need to double that to a 300 amp fuse, but because the inverter cannot run at peak power for more then a moment, a slow-blow 150amp fuse may work just fine, or perhaps you could step up a 200amp. I wouldn't go all the way to a 300 amp fuse unless you really found that you needed it and had the inverted is wired in such a way that it could handle that level current (read: installed using very heavy gauge wire). Now if your vehicle is running while your inverter is working the amperage will be a little lower because your dealing with 14.4 VDC rather then 12 volts (watts = volts x amps -or- amps = watts / volts). But at the very least, a 150 amp ANL fuse is very good idea and not at all over sized.
Just a FYI on fuses, most car stereos are installed with AGU style fuses, but they only go up to 100 amps.
You will need an ANL style fuse to get one rated at 150 amps or more. See these links for examples:

This inverter provides household power on the go. It converts battery power to 120 V AC household power, allowing you to power up office equipment and household appliances from your vehicle. This unit is ideal for such appliances as microwave ovens (1000 watts or less), coffeemakers, laptops, TVs, video game consoles, CD and DVD players, cell phone chargers, and more.

How The Cobra Power Inverter Works The Cobra power inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and built to take low-voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your automobile or other low-voltage power supplies and convert it to standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) power like the current you have in your home. This conversion process thereby allows you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and virtually anywhere else.
Cobra 1500 Watt Output Waveform Some very sensitive electronic equipment might not operate satisfactorily on "square wave" or "modified sine wave" power. The output waveform of the Cobra Inverter is a "square wave" or "modified sine wave." It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.
AC receptacles With three ground AC receptacles, you can connect and power multiple devices at once.
USB Output The 5-Volt USB output allows charging and operation of modern portable devices, such as iPods, BlackBerrys, and cell phones.
Remote On/Off Switch Capable An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack, allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed out of reach.
Safety Features The CPI 1575 will notify you with a flashing meter and alarm sound when there is a power problem, and will shut down for protection in the following situations:
Current Overload Protection--If the inverter is overloaded, it will shut down to protect itself.
Short Circuit Protection--If the AC output of the inverter is short-circuited for one second or more, it will shut down to protect itself.
Low Voltage Protection--If the input voltage drops to 10.0V or less, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
High Voltage Protection--If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself.
Over Temperature Protection--If the internal temperature rises to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F), the inverter will shut down to protect itself.

Sharp 1.5 cu.ft. 900-Watt Convection Microwave - White Review

Sharp 1.5 cu.ft. 900-Watt Convection Microwave - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a Sharp microwave/convection oven that stopped working after ten years. It was built into a cabinet so we were happy to find this model which had the same dimensions and features. The first one we received had a dent in the side panel and the feet were not level. We sent that one back and asked for a replacement(very good service from Amazon). The second one again was not quite "square" and the door was slightly crooked. We decided not to send this one back and attributed the defects to poor workmanship. The door does not feel as solid as the old one and this new one in general seems to be poorly made. Let's see if this will last for ten years.

WE've had this oven/microwave for 4 months now and absolutely love it. We got it so that we could have a second oven without doing a major renovation. So far it's worked well as a microwave and great as an oven. I'll assess them seperatly.
--AS a microwave, it's a little slower cooking than others we have had, but heats evenly, has a turntable, and rack. We really love the dial control...kind of like an ipod, simple and efficient.
--As an 2nd oven it is perfect for us and we actually use it frequently as the primary oven because 1) It heats up faster and cooks faster 2) It is more energy efficient with a smaller space to heat adn 3) it vents outside so it doesn't heat up the house in the summer at all.
As for the price, it is expensive, but was a much cheaper way to get a second oven for us and we are very happy with it.

Per a Consumer Reports recommendation, I bought this model just over 6 months ago in the fall of 09. The turntable stopped working before December. Two repair calls later the motor and arm had been replaced (under warranty) and it worked again. That is until now when the same problem happened again. This time I noticed that the arm has black marks where it broke from the motor. Could this have caught on fire? I hope this is not a common problem but as I've used reviews on Amazon myself before purchasing, I thought I'd share my experience with this Microwave (Whirlpool Gold GT4175SPQ).

Amana : AMC2206BAS 2.0 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel Review

Amana : AMC2206BAS 2.0 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased this item from a local appliance store on Feb 19, 2010. The salesperson praised the Whirlpool line over Sharp or GE which they didn't sell. The Whirlpool line has Magic Chef on the low end, then next up is Whirpool and Amana with Maytag their top of the line. He didn't think it was worth the extra $100.00 to buy the Maytag for the little extra quality or features and neither did we. We were replacing our less than three year old Panasonic that had a spin dial and inverter that went out and the parts were as much as a new microwave.
The first one of these microwaves we brought home we got out of the box and the control panel was hanging loose on the front. The holes on the side of the unit looked like they should have screws to hold the control panel in and they were missing. We called the store and took it back for an exchange when we were in that town next. On 2/24/10 we brought the second Amana microwave home. They opened, inspected and tested it before sending it home with us. The panel was a little loose and had no screws in it but we were comfortable using it.
On 3/6/10 the light inside of the microwave went out. We called in and the appliance store sent us out a bulb for free but we have to install it because it wasn't covered under warranty. To even change the bulb you have to have a speciality security screwdriver to open the case (which we happen to have).
3/22/10 - We received the bulb but hadn't installed it yet and went to warm up some breakfast and the microwave was asking us to set the clock. We set the clock, opened the microwave and the screen went dead. When we would open and shut the door the control panel would flash about 6 times but now has stopped even flashing. It was completely dead. We tried plugging it into a different circuit, and plug (along with other items that were plugged in and functioning) and nothing. We have called and will bring it back to the store again and they are going to give us our money toward another one of these which we will NOT buy or another microwave in the store.
Save yourself the hassle we have had and buy another brand. At least we have an appliance store that will take a lemon back.

If it weren't for one little tiny sticking point I would have given this five stars. It's about the smallest usable microwave you can buy. I have a small space for my microwave so I needed one that would fit, this is one of about three options in this size. I love it's cooking options, particularly the popcorn one and the defrost settings. This is the first microwave I've ever used where the popcorn function REALLY WORKS and there are only a dozen or so unpopped kernals left in the bag!
This microwave is a huge improvement over the 13 year old machine this one replaced. I do miss having a timer only function; my old machine spoiled me. The one and only issue I've run into so far is the control pad; it's not very touch friendly. I literally have to punch the buttons to get the function I want. I sometimes have to take a couple stabs at it. The control pad needs to be a little more touch sensitive and they'd have a five star machine here.
