U-Line : CLR2160B-40 15 Clear Ice Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought one a month ago and it is SOOOOO noisy. It drowns out conversation and is awful. I have a busy loud house with 5 kids so you would imagine we wouldnt hear it but it you cant believe how loud it is. The ice melts within seconds and we have had it adjusted many times. It makes slushy ice at loud noise level and is expensive, so nothing to recommend it. Am giving up on it and sending it back and trying out sub zero as have never had any issues with their products. Will keep you posted!!

Yogurt Culture 2-Packs (Sealed Together) of 5-Gram Each Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally tried it out. I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews. I used 5 grams Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Starter (one packet, only) and 32 oz. whole milk following the directions on the back of the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Starter package. I ran the Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker for 7 hours to incubate the yogurt. I think this is the best tasting yogurt I have ever had.

Mr.Coffee Replacement Iced Tea Pitcher TP30, White Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Mr. Coffee line of iced tea makers are decent products and we've now had three different ones in the last 10 years or so, mainly because the pitchers don't last long. They seem to be made of the same composite plastic as the original 2 qt maker/pitchers we first bought.
We didn't pay much for the maker at our local Wal-Mart, but it's the idea that you will have to buy a replacement pitcher in less than a year that gets to me. So once you pay about $20 for the iced tea maker kit, you will have to pay another $10-15 for a replacement pitcher if you can find one locally (plus tax), or online (plus shipping).
I think it's the fact that the hot water over the cold ice tends to make the pitcher get hairline cracks. I always hand wash it and take great care to gently add the ice instead of simply throwing it in.
The handle is much more comfortable than previous versions. I just wish it would last longer, that's all.

Ice Cream Ball - Pint - Red- Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pretty simple- we used the ice cream ball according to the manufacturer's instructions, and made an incredibly yummy homemade ice cream- OMG it as so easy and SO good!! The only thing I wish was different about it is I wish you could unscrew the inner canister to place that in the freezer without having to place the entire ball in the freezer- if you have leftover ice cream that is. And if there was a special spoon to scrape/spoon out the ice cream from the long cylinder, that would be nice too. Otherwise, it works great- you'll be happy with the results!

Hog Wild Idea Kitchen - Zoo Pops Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter loves these molds, the treats look really neat once they are frozen. However, I have had problems each time I've used them (which has been about 3 times) with leaking, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or my set is defective in some way, but all of the molds leak once I pour the liquid mix into them. I have to put down paper towels in my freezer to sop up what leaks out while they are freezing not to mention rush to the freezer once I have them full. Also, be sure that the molds are on a very flat shelf in the freezer, if they tilt at all the leaking will be even worse. Some of the shelves in my freezer have ridges in them, which created another problem for us. I tried "nesting" the molds together for freezing like the instructions recommended, but mine won't stay together. The penguin handles are cute, but I think would work better if they were longer. We tried one of the recipes that came with the molds, the Dripless Zoo Pops made with Jell-O and they turned out really yummy. Since my daughter enjoys them so much I will keep using them...and cleaning up sticky messes in my freezer!

Shake N Take Sports Bottle Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've now owned four of these. Each has had the motor die. One after a single day. The longest was six months. The system is a good one. The bottle works well and is a good size. But, the motor simply can't handle regular use.
You can limp it along by putting fewer frozen pieces in -- say under half the bottle -- or by only mixing for a few seconds, before walking away and letting it rest. But, in all, you shouldn't have to baby it quite so much.
I'll probably try another type next to see if it works better.

Black & Decker IC200 Arctic Twister Ice Cream Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the reviews before purchasing it, and was pleasantly surprised when I tried it out. The ice cream came out easily firm enough for cones.

Suggestions for using:
1) place parts in freezer 10-15 min. before use
2) put toppings in freezer before using (if the toppings are warm they will melt the ice cream as they are mixing)
3) Buy a half-gallon of ice cream in the rectangular carton, open it up and use a butcher knife to quickly chop the ice cream into cubes to put into the machine (doesn't take long, so the ice cream is not too soft)--note: you can just fold the box back up and put it in a freezer bag when putting it away
4) rinse the parts immediately after use--easy clean-up
5) I make ice cream for my family, and then I eat the ice cream off of the "dasher" that everyone is complaining about (It is not sharp, and you can hold it like a big popsicle, and then not much is wasted)
Improvements Needed:
1) It mixes the ice cream a little slowly
2) It would be easier if the on/off switch didn't have to be held down constantly

Ice Cube Tray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)S U B T I T L E......R O O M....F O R....I M P R O V E M E N T
When I first saw these ice-cube (tube?) trays on Amazon, I KNEW they
reminded me of SOMETHING I had seen before. I thought a while, and then it hit me....THE LOOK JUST LIKE OLD-FASHIONED CANDLE-MOLDS! Now, I have never made candles myself...but I have seen, (as I guess every American school-child, past and present, has seen), pictures of women in the American Colonies, making candles from andle-molds. Every time I will use these, I thought excitedly, I could think of those long-off days of self-reliance, thrift, hope, and love...virtues far too overlooked in today's world. What a nice way to be reminded of these things -- and get some great ice-cubes, too!
Excitedly, I sent away for a tray, with visions of Pilgrim ladies filling my mind....
When it arrived, today, I noticed something I had neglected to see in the photo of the ice-cube tray: there was a BLUE BOTTOM to the tray, attached to it like a slim pedestal. I read the directions for using this ice-cube tray, and the "pedestal", (or coloured base), in using it....
The directions are:
1_ Press base into each individual tube. You will hear a "snap" sound as each tube seals
2_ Fill tubes 3/4 full with water
3_ Freeze
4_ Run coloured base under warm/hot water evenly for 45-60 seconds.
5_ Ice will slide out
6_ Store unused ice in an air-tight container
7_ Enjoy an "ice-cold" bottled beverage!
Well, maybe I don't have enough strength to re-attach the pedestal part to the main mold. All I know, is that after trying for a while, I heard hardly any "snaps" at all. When I filled the tubes, MOST stayed filled....but there was still a depressing
little stream of water coming from the bottom, of those molds that did not have a pedestal "out-cropping" fitted into them.
After 2 hours, I tried to get the ice-tubes out. Those that were full did come out, (from the bottom, not from the top!) -- but there was still a depressing thin sheet of ice, under where the tray had been, which is where the drippings from the water that did not go into some of the tube-molds went. I did manage to get about 10 ice-tubes, (out of 27 molds), out. They make fine, solid ice-tubes....but there has GOT to be an easier way!
And...guess what? There actually is! If you want to put ice into a sports bottle, or other narrow-necked container, USE THE CAMCO ICE-TRAY FOR SMALL REFRIGERATORS! I had bought some before & they are great! But, history-lover that I am, I couldn't resist these "candle-making" ice-cube trays. What a mistake!
As for this "Ice Tube Tray" ice-cube maker... Well, maybe I can use it as a pencil-holder or something....?
Looking carefully at the wrapping, I see that these trays are made by
"Ice Tubes, Inc. -- The 21st Century Ice Cube". I wonder if the manufacturers, too, thought of candle-making molds, when they made this design. Maybe it will work for someone stronger than I am....but as for me, they don't work at all. Was candle-making so ardurous a task as trying to make ice-tubes from these molds? Right now, I don't know. I do know, however, that these tubes are "Made In U.S.A."...., by IceTubes, Inc., ([...]), in Tallmage, Ohio, 44278. This, of course, makes any patriotic North American VERY happy, (as SO many things are sadly made in Communist China, today) -- but I only wish the trays worked --- er, worked better?
My suggestion here is to make the individual tubes with closed tops...(bottoms?), and to use the "base" only as a covering device. When the ice is molded, all one has to do is wait five minutes for the ice to unmold. Then put the finished tubes into an ice-bin, SHAKE, and IMMEDIATELY place in the freezer. Shaking will keep the tubes from sticking to each other. And making the ice-tube trays with CLOSED TOPS (bottoms?) will make the creating of these ice-tubes much easier.
Hope this idea will "hold water", Ice-Tubes, Inc. I really like the "candle-making design" of this ice-cube tray. Now, if it only make ice cubes easily!

Lello 4091 Replacement Bowl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What is there to say, really? It's a spare bucket. Obviously only of value if you have the appropriate Lello ice cream maker.
So, is it useful to have a spare bucket? Sort of. Mine does not just collect dust. If I want to make a couple of batches of ice cream relatively quickly, I can do so without washing the bucket between batches. I find it a little more convenient to wash two buckets at one time than to wash one bucket twice. But it's not hard to wash, so it's not like that's a really big deal. And you have to store the spare somewhere, since only one bucket fits into the machine at a time.
Mainly I only bought the spare so that if anything bad ever happens to one of my buckets (or I lose it), I don't have to wait around to get a replacement. All in all, this is not a necessary or especially useful accessory for your ice cream maker, but it is exactly what it is supposed to be. So I give it five stars.

Disney Mickey Ice Shaver & Snow Cone Machine in Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Disney Ice Shaver Snow Cone machine is Cheap Cheap Cheap. I purchased for several reasons:
1. I liked the style.
2. I liked the color.
3. I wanted something cheap to try out before I spent big money on a 'real' snow cone machine
First impressions...
Opening the box, I found that everything was well packaged in formed Styrofoam. The accessories fit into their locations well and are essential to complete the look of 'Mickey'.
The fit and style of this unit are pretty good for a completely plastic appliance. Mickey is light and looks good on the counter with the red/white accents (including the bright red cord - nice touch). This machine is pretty small and compact and can be put in an area 9" x 7" on the counter. I put him in the corner of my island for easy reach since we have snow cones everyday.
Accessories:
1. Snow Cone Cup Holder
2. Two flavor/syrup containers
3. Snow cone shaping cup/snow cone holder
There are two things to consider with these accessories:
1. Will you use 'standard' sized cups for your snow cone treats or another type of cup?
2. Will you make/store the syrup for your dessert in the ear cups?
To answer the first question, you need to understand how large the cup holder actually is. I purchased reusable plastic snow cone cups with an integral straw from Walmart for use with mine. These 'barely' fit in the holder and tilt slightly away from the base because there isn't quite enough room to fit them onto the holder. This is a minor issue since the cup still catches most of the ice. If you want to have a full to overflowing snow cone like my wife, this may bother you.
The size of the snow cone cup/top shaper is also small. This is designed for a small snow cone cup (5 oz or so) and not anything larger. It has styled mickey ears on each side of the cup that interfere with compacting the ice into a nice dome that we all expect when having a snow cone. Also, as a snow cone cup, it is very small (it's use is further diminished by it's lack of fit into the snow cone holder).
To answer the second question, the two syrup/topping 'ears' that sit on perches on either side of the hopper are pointless in my opinion, but do an excellent job 'looking pretty'. these two cups are difficult to work with and quickly become so sticky they must be washed to remove residue from previous snow cones. Though these fit will with the style and location for use, they do not fit into the base very well. As a result, I have sent these things bouncing on the floor many MANY times during use of the machine. Operation:
The Mickey Ice Shaver is a journeyman snow cone maker. It is loud (100dB at the point of use - use ear plugs if you are going to make more than one), it makes shaved ice slowly (about one snow cone per 90 seconds - when it is working correctly), and must be completely full of ice for the machine to work well. This last statement is intended to be a guide since it will technically make ice with less ice in the hopper, but something about the design does not allow the ice to move quickly into position when there is less weight pushing it into position.
The metal blade that does the work on this device is replaceable and can be accessed by taking the hopper screw out. This blade does not wear quickly and should last the life of the machine for the average user. If you are a snow cone fanatic, be prepared to sharpen/replace the blade. It is not a typical razor blade, so think about using a knife sharpener to perform this task.
Speaking of the full hopper required for it to work well, after I have made my last snow cone of the session, I place an empty snow cone cup under the nozzle to catch the dripping water that inevitably comes when the ice inside the hopper melts. (I learned this the hard way after seeing water all over the counter). This is a minor thing and should be expected of a machine that has no basin. The water dripping out of the machine does not fall on the electric parts and shouldn't cause an issue with operation. If you do want to get the ice out of the machine, there is a removable cover to access the hopper. After removing the cover, it is possible to invert the machine and remove the ice or, by unscrewing the hopper retaining screw (plastic wing screw), the ice can be removed by hand. Since the machine is so light and portable, I usually pop the top and pour the ice out if I have time (I usually let it drain into a cup, since I am not sure when the next snow cone will be made and the ice in the hopper may be useful minutes after I think we are done).
After several snow cones...
If you have a large family, you will probably be making more than one snow cone per child per day. If this is something that you only bring out for parties, be prepared to buy another machine. After 4-5 snow cones in a row, the motor is HOT and the mechanism is at it's limit. Although I was unable to get it to overheat with 6 snow cones placed through it continuously (motor never shut off), I have had the machine over heat and stop on me after 3 cones fairly close together.
If you enjoy the style and are an occasional snow cone consumer who wants a cheap, stylish machine that doesn't take up much counter space, this may be the machine for you.
If you have a large group eating multiple snow cones everyday, or if you desire something for parties, spend a bit more money and step up to a machine with better performance.
Style: 5 out of 5 stars
Quality: 3 out of 5 stars
Price: 5 out of 5 stars
Value: 5 out of 5 stars
Overall: 4 out of 5 Stars (mainly because it is so cheap!)

Oster 6812-001 Core 16-Speed Blender with Glass Jar, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BOTTOM LINE SUMMARY: This blender performs at least as well as blenders that cost 2-3 times as much, and it has more specific speed options than the more expensive blenders.
Before I begin my review, I should start out by saying that I am a bit of a blender snob, and I collect them for fun. My sole purpose in getting this blender was to see how it compared to a KitchenAid (KSB5ER4) and a Cuisinart (BFP-10CH). Also, this is an initial, first-time usage review - I will keep the review updated over time so I can attest for its longevity, consistency, etc.
That being said, I am very impressed with this blender. It is consistent with the quality that I expect from Oster. It blended the same Strawberry Banana Smoothie that I always make MUCH better than the 7-year old KitchenAid blender that I often use - no chunks whatsoever. I tested the ice crush feature, and it made mince meat out of ice in 2-3 seconds. In fact, I would dare say that it crushes ice perfectly, and faster than any of my other blenders. I also appreciate the Easy Clean feature - a definite bonus. I like the metal drive shaft MUCH better than the plastic teeth on the KitchenAid and Cuisinart - there is no guesswork as far as where/when to place the jar on top of the base; no teeth that could potentially break/wear (note: the teeth have never broken on my KitchenAid or Cuisinart, so I am just speaking about potentialities). The jar is designed for MUCH easier pouring than any other blender I have used. If you are at all concerned with the presentation/appearance of your blending results, this blender certainly delivers.
Why a 4-star instead of a 5? The plastic collar is much more fragile than other blenders I have used (also, more fragile than other Oster's that I have seen) - in fact, I haven't yet figured out how to get the collar off without breaking it. (Revision: I took a closer look at the bottom of the collar, and it has instructions for removing the collar - so, no problem there). :-)
The rest of my cons are very nit-picky and may not bother most people. There is no perfect manual, but I found the manual to be overly brief - in fact, I will probably find myself referring to my vintage '70s Osterizer pamphlets for hints - the manual and blender are largely for people who are already very familiar with blenders.
If anyone is familiar with the smell of a new blender motor, this blender (along with Cuisinart and Waring blenders) has that new motor smell if you let it run for more than 15 seconds. Personally, this does not bother me, but I have noticed that it makes some people nervous. My initial ice-crush experiment actually produced ice that was infused with the smell, but a few good cleanings should solve that problem.
The lid is not the best I have ever seen - It does have a removable cap in the center, but it is black and does not have measured lines like the Cuisinart.
Louder than the KitchenAid, but quieter than the Cuisinart.
Despite these minor things, I would highly, highly recommend this blender!

The appliance features sharp ice-crushing stainless-steel blades to ensure smooth results and an exclusive all-metal drive system where the two connecting pieces, from motor to blade, are made of metal (instead of plastic) for enhanced durability and long-lasting performance. Best of all, the glass jar can safely go in the dishwasher for effortless cleanup. From one breakfast smoothie or party drink to the next, the blender, which measures approximately 8-3/5 by 10-1/5 by 14 inches, might be best left out on the counter for quick, easy, everyday access.
