Waring 028372 Cord



Works, but needs a better magnet
This cord works with my Waring fryer model. The connection seems very light, however. The cord pops off a lot easier than the OEM cord that I misplaced. It seems like the magnet that holds the cord in place and is designed to snap off when tugged is of lesser quality than the magnet in the OEM version. But it's workable, so I give it 3 stars.

Did its job
This was bought to replace the original one after we misplaced it. I could not see any difference from the original one.

WORKS.
I found the fryer for this cord for an amazing price at Goodwill, but alas, the cord was missing! I feel a bit stupid buying a cord for the same price I spent on the fryer, but it works, so I'm glad I have it.
This cord is stupidly short, though. Unless you have an outlet within less than a foot of your device, expect to have to use a multi-outlet strip or extension cord just to power your device. It's held in place with a magnet (safety feature), so you can't use the cord without leaving slack in it.

GE Part Number WE1M856 KNOB ASM TIMER - WH



Good Quality Replacement Part
Not much you can really say about a knob, but they do seem to be made a little better than the OEM know that cracked.

Effective
It works as intended. It's a shame such a small piece of plastic costs so much. Gets the job done.

DOES NOT FIT GE like it says. Completely different from GE smart filter. Had to send back and order the "real thing" which is more expensive.

Refrigerator Water Filters
Well, who would guess that these would be excessive. Our filtered water through the door on our GE Profile Side-by-Side stopped working and could not be fixed. Plus other problems with this unit. So, we have water filters that we will not be able to use since moving this unit into the garage where there is no water supply. The filters work OK but now we have unused units.

no water pressure
The filter fit as a replacement, but there was absolutley no water pressure after we installed it. I will be returning it for a refund.

WB49X10176 GE General Electric Microwave Glass Tray Plate replaces WB49X10114



Glass Microwave Tray
We shattered our original glass tray and needed to find a replacement. We selected this one because it was the least expensive. So far it has worked flawlessly!

Its round!
I know this is OEM, but I hope it lasts longer than the original turntable that came with the microwave. I think a mix of microwave and convection shattered that one. Will avoid using with convection from now on... it probably states somewhere in the manual not to use it with convecion, but who reads instructons.

Perfect fit.
Good price, right fit, same as original part. I recommend for anyone needing replacement part for GE microwave. Don't ask how, but I broke the first two, this is third plate we have had!

Emerson Electric Wine Bottle Opener - Black



What a pleasant surprise
I thought I owned the best wine bottle opener in the world in my little double screw wooden gem I also own of those gas powered wine openers. It works well but taking the cork off can be a mean trick. Plus the loud "pop" sounds like a bottle of champagne. Then I received this electric wine opener as a gift. The only reason I kept it was because I have one of the Wine Saver bottle sealers and they looked a lot alike. I put it on the shelf and did not ever plan to use it. I mean, it was just a corkscrew in a tube. I had as friend over on Valentine's Day and she wanted to see it work. W O W! It was the slickest thing i EVER USED. I mean, it not only took the cork out with a minimum of noise, but it extracted the rock with another push of the button. No loud POOP like the gas unit, and no cork in the bottle. (I know because I opened several of wine just to see it fail. It never did. I have now ordered my customary spare because this one will get a lot of use.

Quick and Easy
A "Consumer Reports" favorable rating convinced me to buy the product. Not disappointed. It takes about ten(10) seconds to uncork a wine bottle. Simply amazing. No one using a conventional method is that quick. The opener has a beautiful black matte finish and looks handsome in the kitchen. Also comes with a foil cutter discreetly hidden in the charging stand. A great wine opener you will not regret purchasing.

excellent gift, easy to use, very elegance.
this item is an excellent gift for wine lover, also it look very elegance near a winery, bust the most its the easy to use, just press the bottom down and up and the wine its ready to drink, no mess or broken corks. great price....

Foodshell Vacuum Sealer



Takes Getting Used to....
Got the unit right away, and pleased to see a roll of bags in the package as well as some sandwich-sized singles already sealed on one end. I fired it right up after reading the instructions (which I didn't quite understand as I found out later). I snipped some of the big roll off and attempted to make a closed seal on one end of the tube-like bag. I thought the instructions said (and they did verbatem) to open the locks after 10 seconds. I counted to 10 seconds and popped the latches to find it hadn't sealed in the center. Tried again and held the center down hard for 10 seconds - same result. I misunderstood what they were trying to say was to wait 10 seconds after the heating lamp went out, NOT 10 seconds after the vacuum stops. It really seems so simple now, but I am a stickler for following directions precisely as written. I went through this long explanation because if I hadn't found out how it was supposed to work BY ACCIDENT (my Wife distracted me and I left the last...

Open Country Dehydrator Gardenmaster Digital 1000 4-Tray



Brains over beauty
A lot of research went into choosing this dehydrator. While I like the look better of some of the square, black models on the market, the functionality of this machine won out. I liked that the heating element is on top, so if there are any drippings I don't have to worry about it leaking into the motor. There is a fan that evenly distributes the heat to make it faster and more efficient. It is also extremely easy to clean. All of the layer come apart and can simply be wiped down. The thermostat and timing features are easy to operate and read and it comes with a great instruction manual that helps you determine the heat and time setting of a wide variety of foods. Finally, I liked that additional trays can be purchased and up to 20 trays used at a time. I purchase large quantities of fruit when it is in season, and can now process it quickly. I sat on the sidelines for a long time looking at dehydrators but when I finally jumped in I'm glad I chose brains over beauty. I have and...

AA++ product
Previously used the 500 watt Open Country Dehydrator and it worked great. This 1000 watt dryer is awesome. Ordered 2 extra trays to expand drying capabilities. Makes great jerky.

Household Essentials Presswood Table Top Ironing Board with Pull-Out Iron Rest, 12-Inch x 30-Inch



JimB
I purchased this item for a gift and was very pleased with the quality. When the individual opened the gift she was pleased also with the quality, features and heavy duty construction.
Feedback from this person is that she is very satisfied.

Great Iron Board
I was looking for an iron board that can fit my small NY apartment. The size is perfect and great price. Highly recommended.

Perfect!
I don't have much room to store an ironing board. This one folds flat so it stores beautifully. The padded top is nice too--I've used it on my clothes and on a quilt I'm working on. Its' small, so large items must be done in bits, but this is less of an issue than storage for me.

Whirlpool 2200859 Thermostat for Refrigerator



Great price and works as expected
The local parts dealer here (Irvine, CA) wanted about $80 for the same part. Had to wait a few extra days as only UPS ground was available, but it was simple to replace (note there is no documentation of any kind included) and fixed the problem. Old thermostat was intermittent - fridge would run fine for awhile, then not run for several hours; had to manually fiddle with the cold control to get it to run again. The only reason I didn't rate this as five stars was it seems to have a very narrow temperature range. Instead of cycling on or off every half-hour or so, it now cycles about every 10 minutes. The internal temperature is probably more stable, but I don't know if this will cause the compressor start components to wear out sooner.

fixed the fridge
The repairman wanted over $300.00 to fix the fridge. We fixed it with this thermostat for under $40.00. And we got a nice boost to our self esteem in the process. YES YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN REPAIRS!! :)

excellent
Great price on an OE part. Item was shipped immediately and received in 3 days. Completely satisfied with product and service

Hefty E2-1218 5 Count Trash Compactor Bags



Works great for my purpose
I do NOT use these as intended by the manufacturer. I use these as a waterproof lining in my backpack for hiking. I open it up, put it in my pack, and then start filling my pack. It doesn't tear, its far larger than the interior of the pack so you get full coverage, and it keeps everything inside dry. A+++ for this use.

Good, strong bags
Use it for backpacking and fits into my 50L backpack perfectly with a little room to spare. Might be good up to 60L bag.

Nice
just what youd expect in a plastic bag...they're plastic and baggy. Fit well and strong. How much can you say about a bag

Amana Freezer Door Gasket 12550116Q



Easy Peasy to install
Fit perfect and saved a bunch of money by installing it myself.
Put this item in some pretty hot water for a bit before installing. Had a hair dryer handy to rewarm it during install and for working out the creases and malformations after install.
I found some instructions on line that stated to removed the food from the door (leaving door attached to fridge) and just loosen all the factory screws about half way. Slide the old gasket out, slide the new one in. Worked like a champ. Tightened the screws back down, heated up some areas with the hair dryer, close the door, let it sit a bit to let the cool temperature "set" the gasket, rinse and repeat for problem areas.

Fit fine with a little work
THis was just as advertised but would have been nice with some instructions to help it seal better. I got it to seal but had to go on the internet to find out how.

Other than that this was fine.

Not what I ordered
Based on the OEM part number, they sent me the wrong part. I had to return the merchandise. Ended up being stuck for the freight.

SINGER Perfect Finish 1700 Watt Anti-Drip Steam Iron with Brushed Stainless Steel Soleplate and LED Electronic Settings



No more water splashes!
THE OLD
I was never entirely happy with my German- made Rowenta which had a water retention problem. It was so bad that on the higher steam settings my clothes would get soaked on a regular basis, and when it started to stain my white clothes I just looked for an upgrade.

THE NEW
Two new Singer models advertised an anti- drip mechanism; this one and the Expert Finish. According to Singer's website, the models are similar except for the LCD and more temperature levels on the Expert Finish. I'm from the "keep it simple" school of thought, so I forewent the wizardry and picked this version.

THE GOOD
As expected, the iron is easy to use. Pressing the power button cycles through the four temperature levels, lighting up the appropriate label on the handle. I really like that the temperature label blinks while the iron is not yet at the correct temperature, a useful gimmick which even...

Steamed!
This is the BEST iron I've ever used, and I've gone through lots of irons - at least 2 per year. I iron every day everything I own. The Singer Perfect Finish 1700 Watt Steam Iron is simple to use and doesn't drip water all over my clothing. I have not had any issues with finding the correct temperature to iron each piece of clothing. I love the audible signal that tells me when the temperature level has been obtained.

Not all that is cracked up to be......
I first received this iron about 4-5 months ago and like most people, I was really happy with the results when I first started using it. About 3 months ago, I cleaned the iron for the first time and everything went fine. Well, this month (April), I cleaned it again. Well, sad to say that the iron starting acting crazy. It kept beeping and shutting off and then it starting dripping water from the holes and at the bottom. When I set the temperature to the max setting, it would flash for awhile and then go back down to the first setting. Then it would leave the first setting and then go to the second setting and up to the third setting and then it would shut itself off. After awhile, it would not come on at all. So now I am stuck with an iron that will not work.

So buyer beware of this iron. I have read all of the reviews in regards to this iron and everyone has given it 5 stars. Well, unfortunately, I have to give it a 1 star because it has not been a full year and the iron...

KitchenAid 7-Speed Digital Hand Mixer



Good Hand Mixer
I have an earlier version of this Kitchen Aid hand mixer, which was purchased in 1994 and still works but I had been thinking about replacing it with a newer one. After reading some of the other reviews, I was a little skeptical about purchasing this model. When it arrived I compared it with my older one and thought this new one seems lighter and wondered if it would be as good. On Thanksgiving Day, I gave it a good workout mixing up 5lbs of potatoes to mash -- I was very impressed with how well it did the job. For me, I think I made the right choice to purchase this hand mixer.

Wonderful
I have the larger Kitchen Aid mixer, but found that I needed a hand mixer as well. Being very satisfied with my larger Kitchen Aid, I looked at the Kitchen Aid hand mixers. I received it just in time for my holiday cooking. I liked the digital dial for the speeds and the ease of the beater release. It is very light weight and easy to hold. It also came with a liquid beater for drinks. I have used it alot already and I am very satisfied. I would recommend to everyone.

RIP KitchenAid - Sorry To See You Go
It would seem that KitchenAid has joined the long list of iconic American manufacturers who can no longer be trusted to produce a quality product. I had always considered KA to be a "quality" brand, I've owned a K5S "Stand" mixer for about 20 years (and most of the available attachments) and it performs perfectly to this day. About 8 years ago I got a KA 5 speed hand mixer for lighter work and from day one I was extremely disappointed by the lack of power. My complaints were heard and this past holiday season, my daughter gave me a new KA 7 speed digital hand mixer. I had high hopes, but that first one wouldn't let me insert the beaters, so I returned it for another. The second one wouldn't even turn on. It went back to Amazon as well, but not before I noticed something very interesting; the mixer I.D plate revealed that this 7 speed model had the exact same 60 Watt motor as my old 5 speed. When I researched the subject, I found that even KA's $100 9 speed digital model uses the same...

Cooks hot and fast
This pizza oven works great! You can cook a pizza in about 9 minutes to perfection on the high setting. I do like the digital settings and the fact that there is a fan to cool it. Good purchase - I am happy with this purchase

Not What They Used To Be
I have had a double pizza oven by Wisco for 20 years. Great product. Ordered this one & am sending it back. They are now making some cheap crap. The cheap ass door does not close properly & it is simply a cheaply made product. Not only that but I ordered the product through the Company & the price with tax was 157 dollars. Same product through Amazon 95 dollars with shipping. Figure that one out. Believe me When I say I let the Company know haw I felt.

Great product, expensive for what it is, but works perfect.
I had been using self made covers over the AC vents in the past. They were a pain to put up, and take down and looked really bad. These not only look nice, they are almost invisable. They are well made and should last for years. Also they were easy to install and easy to take down and store for the summer. I highly recommend them, even at the inflated price.

A/C vent covers
These were exactly what i needed for my central A/C vents. They immediately stopped my drafts that i had coming through the vents. Very sturdy and very well built, easy to put on and easy to readjust. I ordered "11" for our whole house.

Vitapur VWD5446BLS Full Size Water Dispenser



Can not recommend this cooler/heater
We've had this Vitapur cooler/heater for approximately 1.5 years. And I have had to replace the main circuit board once. My time +$25(Can) for a replacement board. This because we could not find our purchase receipt(we purchased at a local bricks&mortar). The circuit board was full of corrosion.
This past summer the heater stopped working. (the connection to the element appears to be corroded and was making poor contact and now the contact is completely burned off).
The final straw is that the cooler stays on and freezes the water in the reservoir to a solid block of ice.
I would leave the whole thing on the curve tonight for garbage pickup but it's got freon in it so I have to take it to the local hazardous waste disposal.
It is a shame the design & build quality is so poor, the machine is attractive looking and was exactly what we were looking for.

Good cooler...
Looks great, works great. Took a chance with some bad reviews because I liked the design. Looks very well built.
Paired it with the Greenway water filter.

I like the on-demand hot water. Some reviewers did not. It only takes a few min. to boil. Very hot! The blue LED lighting in the dispensing area is kinda cool too.

I'll give it 6 months and update my review.

-->> ***Update at 6 month ownership***

Have owned for 6 months now. Still give it 5 stars. Only problem I've had... Once time I hit the hot water button and nothing happened. Just unplugged the cooler and plugged it back in. Worked fine after that.

It's still cooling great and is very quiet. Actually quieter than when new. Hot water is still boiling hot. No leaks, no nothing!

Will update at one year or if I have an issue earlier than that. Again, very happy with this purchase.

Stay away....really!
To bad you can't rate this with minus 5 stars...had to give it a (1)star. Purchased a Vitapur water dispenser a few weeks ago. Like other reviewers stated, their patiented "hot" water system, and I use the term 'hot' loosely, will only provide a cup of hot water in about 3 minutes. It is not a constant hot water dispenser like others I had, and the cold water even on max is not much over room temperature, and again not much over a cup at a time without having the machine re-chill. It has no on/off switches, and the water jug piercing spindle for standard water jugs is longer than most, with holes only on the top of the spindle so even though the water jug is empty the cap "well" is left with water standing that needs to be removed with a towel because if you place a new water jug in, when it seats, water splashes up and over the sides and surroundings. It may be stylish, but no where near fuunctional if your looking to have instant hot water and cold water like conventional...

36 COMPACT TRISTAR CANISTER VACUUM BAGS



Bag the dirt!
These vacuum bags are constructed well. They are not flimsy and will not break. They do their job of trapping dirt while still maintaining air flow and suction power through canister. Very reasonably priced.

right price bag
It does what ot os suppose to. The price is affordable and I can't tell a difference in the quality from any other replacement I've bought. So if you just need to buy a vacuum bag for your TriStar and you're worried, don't be.

Inexpensive source of bags for my TriStar
I had been paying exorbitant prices for replacement bags before I discovered these, so the savings alone is a value to me.

More importantly these fit my vacuum perfectly, are sturdy, and this 36-pack lasted me well over two years.

Frankly, I cannot tell the difference between these and genuine TriStar bags, even when I carefully compare them side-by-side. Also, these bags last as long as a genunine TriStar bag, so the value is significant.

If you own a TriStar vacuum you can buy these with the confidence that you are not cutting corners or purchasing replacement bags that are inferior. The only thing 'less' about these is the price.

Great Northern Popcorn Black Lincoln Antique Style Popcorn Popper Machine Complete with Cart and 8-Ounce Kettle



Awesome Popper!!!
We did a LOT of research to find a unit for our web and mobile development studio (eight bit studios) :) The Great Northern Popcorn makers stood out and this unit ended up being the perfect pick. The size is perfect for our team of 10-12 that our in the office. It's big enough to make things feel official and use official popcorn scoop shovels, but not so big that it's taking up a whole room. It took two of us all but 10 minutes to assemble. The separate switches for the light heater, kettle arm rotator, and kettle heating element are great. It's completely silent --and fairly quiet even when popcorn is popping out of the kettle. We have found it easy to clean. The stand with the storage door is tall enough to fit a standing Flavacol carton and deep enough to also include a gallon of coconut oil. This unit is ALL GLASS, including the doors!

Ronco Donut Maker



exactly like the metal type used in restaurants to make pancakes ! just tiny and plastic
was exactly what I needed, just like they use in restaurants and washes very easily. Filled it makes about 3 big pancakes, great for kids that slop mix all over everything , this keeps it very neat..

kinda works
this kind of works. it does make small donuts though, more like donettes! wish it came with more recipes, i had to buy a separate book for them.

Great batter donuts
I like to make donuts but making yeast donuts is a lot of work. I always thought batter donuts wouldn't taste as good until I tried apple cider donuts and they are now my favorite type of donut. If you want to make a whole bunch of donuts faster than what it would take to make yeast style, this is a good device. If you plan on making thousands of donuts, this is not the device. There was some learning on the get go to keep from making a mess all the time. If you use a spout to pour in the batter to the hopper with, no mess (don't use a spoon or ladle -- big mess). If you make donuts all the time, maybe get a more reliable product. But for the occasional donut maker (like myself), this is a great product.

BonJour Mini Frother, Silver



Not just for coffee
I bought this frother, along with the white as a gift because I have one and use it all the time. They are amazing and a great investment for $10. Not only does this frother work great for coffee, but it is very handy for other things. I make my kids instant breakfast drinks in the morning using a powdered mix along with a protein powder. Rather than dragging out my blender, I just stir the drink with my frother. It has no problem mixing everything completely and the kids like the "froth". I've also used it to "destroy" some flour lumps in gravy when I didn't get it mixed in completely. It whips eggs for scrambled eggs. Granted, it's not high powered enough for some jobs, but overall, this frother is one of the best $10 gadgets I have ever bought. At this point, I'd be lost in the morning without it!!

Great Bang for Buck
I agonized over whether to buy this or one of the more expensive milk frothers or coffee makers. Some fancy models go for hundreds even thousands of dollars. I figured for $10, I would try this little guy first. I am on week 2. I don't know how long it will hold up, but so far, I am thrilled. I hate the idea of spending tons to buy one of the super fancy new coffee machines. My 20 yr old Mr. Coffee actually makes decent coffee as long as I use decent beans. Let me tell ya, you take some nice fresh Peets house blend beans, you grind 'em up, you drip your coffee. Meanwhile, pour 1/3 a cup of low-fat milk in your mug. Microwave it for 35 seconds. Plunk this little frother in there and let her rip. Keep the frother positioned at the border between the liquid milk and the building froth, so that it can keep getting air. Tilt the cup to and fro as you froth. You will not be disappointed! I can get the whole cup full of froth if I want. And, trust me, the result is 100% coffee house! Yay!

Can't go wrong for the price
Have had this for more than a year, use every day, still working great and still on original batteries.

Tiger America 10 c. Elec Rice Cooker/Food St ( JNP-1800 )



Warm rice all the time
I have owned this type of Rice Cooker for more than 2 years. It is a little pricey compared to other rice cookers, but from my experience, it is worth it. This rice cooker cooks rice quickly (15 minutes or so) and it keep the rice warm until you are ready to eat. I had my rice stay on "warm" one time for two days without the rice turning brown and the bottom getting hard and burnt. We always have our rice cooker on "warm" so that we can have rice available 24/7. We eat rice for lunch and dinner and sometimes for breakfast too, so I always cook rice in the morning and it will last us until dinner. If we have left over rice for dinner, it will still stay warm and fluffy the next day.

I have tried several cheaper rice cookers sold in Target, they do a good job in cooking rice, but they dont keep it warm and soft... after a few hours of being on "warm" the rice turns brown and hard. These cheap rice cookers are only good for occasional rice eaters and for those who can finish...

Best Rice Cooker - Dependable - Great for the Money
Got Rice? Our family eats rice every day (2-3 times) and our last Tiger 10 cup rice cooker was a Christmas present from my parents over 10 years ago. When the non-stick got too worn out, I decided to buy a Panasonic based on decent user reviews. Well, the quality of rice that came out was not up to TIGER standard. With TIGER, you have fluffy rice that kept well for hours, not crusty/hard/crunchy. Well, after seeing this on sale, I had to buy it. Trust a life time rice eater. This is the best rice cooker for around $100 (or more) that you can buy.

Rice the way it was meant to be eaten...
I have owned this cooker for almost 17 years, yes, only one of them. And though the lid doesn't always close tightly any more, it still makes incredible rice. International friends who come to my house are always surprised, and pleased, to see the cooker. They know they will get to eat good rice. I have eaten what comes out of cheaper cookers. Buy a good one, and this is a good one. We use it one to two times a week and it has been a workhorse, 3 servings, 10 servings, it does them all. It keeps the rice warm for hours. A great investment.

Frigidaire 316217002 Oven Temperature Probe



Perfect OEM replacement
After trouble shooting my kenmore Elite cooktop oven F10 code after a self clean was finished, found that the most likely culprit was the oven temp sensor. I purchased the exact OEM part and installation was a snap. Just remove both mounting screws in the oven that hold the sensor. Pull out the stove and unplug the unit. Remove the screws around the upper back panel. The sensor as you will see is located in the upper right corner. Unplug the quick disconnect and pull sensor out from inside the oven. Install new sensor and snap connector together. Install rear panel and plug in. Simple. Saved myself maybe $150 or so. The most important thing is that the part number is correct when ordering. This sensor is used in other brands as well. Hope this helps.

Oster 2614 2-Speed 250-Watt Hand Blender, White/Silver



Junk, pure and simple! There are better products for similar money...
The bottom line first: don't buy this piece of garbage. With far better choices on the market, such as the Cuisinart, the value equation just doesn't work out.

Another reviewer says that this works fine as long as you're not using it for ice. Well, I was trying to puree a soup made with fully cooked (soft) vegetables and chicken broth. What could possibly be easier than that? The shaft broke after a minute of use.

Even in this era of disposable "Made in China" stuff I couldn't believe it, so I read and reread the instructions to make sure it wasn't something I did wrong. In this case -- Oster, it's not me, it's you. After you look at the inside of this thing, it's easy to see why it broke. The shaft is so cheap and flimsy, it's a joke. Tiny gears made of the cheapest plastic drive the blade, they stand no chance of holding up.

I purchased a Cuisinart CSB-33BC Quick Prep Hand Blender after this thing disintegrated. The Cuisinart has been great so far...

Very poorly made.
This item needs zero stars, but that's not an option here. I bought this for Christmas 2004. After one use the handle broke off and we noticed there was a fine crack up the shaft. Oster sent us a new blender, no return of old needed, which was nice. We looked at it and saw that it, too had a hairline crack going up the shaft. One use and it also broke. They again sent us another. Guess what? It was the exact deal - it broke immediately. When I called again they stated they have never received any calls about a problem like this and I told them I thought it was pretty unbelievable that I was the only one in the United States with three blenders that break at the shaft. The person insisted she'd never heard of this complaint. Well, they wouldn't send me another of course and when I asked for a different model because that option was offered to me with the prior phone call, I was told no. I needed to cut off the cord and mail it back to them with the receipt for a refund. I...

a whiny blender
The motor is more noisy than the Braun and GE immersion blenders, and it gives a sad little whine as it starts up and winds down, so I think there is a problem with the interface between the motor portion and detatchable blender portion. After blending for 15 seconds, the motor housing smells charred, so maybe there is a problem with the motor as well.

Waste King FRC-4016 Fiber Optic Controller Base Unit



Awesome
One word review.....Awesome. You need to buy the button for this which in total is considerably more than the regular type of disposal controller. This allowed us to mount the button inside the cabinet door without drilling another hole in the granite. Little more trouble to use it this way but my wife didn't want holes through the granite. Next time I'll build the house before getting the wife.

New disposer installation
During research for shopping and buying a disposer (new install) I noted that I would need to run power to under the sink and into the wall for it's control switch. Running the power to under the sink was easy but it was going to be a real pain to install and wire a switch on the wall near the sink. I found in one of the home supply stores an air type pressure switch that could be used for turning the disposer on/off from the sink top and this looked like a good solution. During more research I found this fiber-optic control unit that does the same job but I wouldn't have to worry about the sink-top pushbutton getting grimed/gunked up and sticking down the road.
Installation of the unit couldn't be simpler. Mount the unit out of the way under the sink and run the fiber-optic cable up to the sink-top pushbutton switch, plug the control unit in and then plug in the disposer and you're done....sweet.
I especially like the auto shut-off feature of the unit turning itself off...

great product
Great upgrade from prior disposal switch. Small button in the counter and optic controller base is hidden from below. Used with Insinkerator disposal, it is not limited to use with a WasteKing

KRUPS TT6190 2-Slice Digital Toaster with Stainless Steel Housing, Silver



Good, but not perfect
Overall I'm pleased with this toaster but it's not perfect. While it toasts evenly and is easy to use, the slots aren't long enough for some breads I've found. These aren't special breads, but normal loaves from the store. This requires me to lay the slice in length-wise and have about 1 inch stick out of the top (not getting toasted). Bagels can be a very tight fit depending on their size (length and width). English muffins toast perfectly, and are easy to remove. Also, as a nitpick, the buttons for the controls have a cheap feel to them when pressed.

Looks good, but not quite perfect
This toaster is actually the nicest toaster I have ever owned. I struggled between 3 and 4 stars, but really, it's a toaster. If it doesn't do everything you want, you can't really find something else to compensate.

Pros: Love the digital controls and the timer.
Slots are more than wide enough to accept bagels
Toasts my bagels and english muffins to perfection

Cons: As others mentioned, the slots are not long enough to take longer pieces of bread, like a panini
This is the worst for me: the power cord is PAINFULLY short. I don't think it's even 12 inches. If you have a huge kitchen and tons of counter space, you may not see this as a problem. But my kitchen is tiny, and I have a SINGLE outlet to use. Because of the cord's length, I practically have to have this up against the wall (the controls on the side add to this problem, it seems to me every other toaster I have owned has the controls on the front). It's inconvienent, because I have...

Finally a proper defrost setting...
I received this toaster as a gift for my birthday two months ago and have been using it every day (often several times per day). For a decade I've been on a yeast-free gluten-free diet which means I have to make my own bread and freeze it. Long ago I had a toaster that would defrost the bread and then toast. It was a great machine until it died. Since then I have gone through quite a few toasters only to discover the 'defrost' is actually just prolonged toasting which basically means my toast comes out burnt, or burnt on the edges and undercooked in the center. The Krups finally gets it right. For the first time in years my toast comes out perfectly and there is the option to just heat the bread without toasting. It's brilliant! You can actually feel the warmth in the defrost cycle, but the elements do not come on until it's toasting time.

Other advantages are the simple setting via the digital backlit screen. It's lcd screen and stainless finish are quite stylish and...

General Electric WD28X10152 SILVERWARE BASKET ASSEMBLY



Perfect fit for smaller dishwasher
This is for the GE monogram series that's not full-size. We had been searching everywhere for one because after a Few years the plastic gives and your utensils fall through the bottom, hence the four stars. But as a new product it is a five star to have one that holds utensils in every section again!

Sturdy and useful!
I bought this for my office since the old one had so many holes, the utensils were falling right through!
This is very sturdy and fits perfectly!

Perfect oem replacement
This is identical to the original basket that came with my dishwasher. Just what I needed. Wish the holes for individual pieces of silverware were bigger.

6.5 Inch - Indusclassic Himalayan Salt Lamps Therapeutic Special Quality ~ Tiny



Beautiful
I have two salt lamps that I purchased through Amazon. One by another manufacturer which cost $10 more than this lamp. Both are beautiful and create a calm and cozy ambience. The more expensive lamp has a dimmer which is a very nice feature but since I'm not using either as a night light the dimmer was unecessary. I would recommend the Indusclassic if you do not need a dimmer and want to save a few bucks.

This lamp is great
does it have therapeutic qualities? I don't know but I have been sleeping better, I'm not nearly as stuffy. Plus, it makes a great night light since you can adjust the output. Expensive as a night light, but still nice. :)

Warm Orange Glow
I am not expecting any health effects, but the lamp has a nice warm glow suitable for spot lighting in a TV room. Very nice.

Cigar Oasis XL Plus Electronic Humidifier Refill Water Cartridge



good product
I have owned an Oasis XL for over a year and am on the third cartridge, I like the product it works perfectly!

Great replacement
As advertised, my cartridges old cartridges needed replacing, this work perfectly. Humidity, has improved over the old cartridges. Highly recommend.

good replacement
I have had the Cigar Oasis humidifier in my guitar cabinet and wanted a replacement. The foam in the original unit started to get moldy (from the constant moisture) despite using distilled water. I figure I'll have to replace it every 6 months or so and this was the exact replacement part, so it fits perfectly.

Great.
They fit my vacuum, don't fall off or come loose, and hold dust. Not much more to them than that. Also, super reasonable price.

Frigidaire 316220002 Knob for Range



wrong knobs
the knob was shipped wrong. The look is the same but the inside hole was wrong, won't fit my Frigidaire stove burner. After complaining they said they don't have the correct one in stock, I have to return the knob for refund ( shipping cost was not refunded ) so it's cost me 2 times shipping cost = the cost of the knob itself ??? for the seller's mistake of shipping the wrong knob ???

Just as promised
Delivered as promised, fits without a problem and really enjoy having all my knobs working properly. This is the place to get the replacement ones if needed.

wrong one
Hi,
The one I ordered was another after market part that was not exactly the same stove knob and it did not work. I did send it back and got credit less the shipping.
Ordered one from different company and got the same, sent it back too.
Not sure where to get the correct one. The number matches my part , but the insert is slightly different and doesn't work
on the stove.
Thanks,

8181684 Kenmore Maytag Whirlpool Water Pump 8181684



fits like a glove
This pump was designed for several different washers, so it include different fittings. The instruction provided helped a lot in installation. This may not look similar to the original but it fits like a glove and almost half the price of the original.

On time and a great fit
The part arrived earlier than expected, actually. We installed it right away and it was a perfect fit. Our 10 year old Whirlpool Duet is working terrifically again.

Not sure if it fits right
Just got the part and not sure if it is the right one. I haven't had time to install it but it looks different. Be careful while ordering that you get the right one.

Hoover 38528-040 Belt



Thank you Hoover
The belts are fine, but what's more important, my old Hoover vacuum cleaner is still as good as any new vacuum out today that's affordable. So the real importance to me is, Hoover continues to make belts and to support their older vacuum cleaners (which still outperform the fancier, newer models). Thank you, Hoover!

So good!
It's not only very affordable but also very easy to install. Plus, it works very well and makes my old Hoover vacuum work like new.

Should have bought two
I looked for this belt in a hardware store and two supermarkets--to no avail. When I ordered it on line it was delivered in a timely fashion at what I consider an excellent price. It fit fine and got the vacuum up and running. My only regret is that I didn't buy two of them.

CoverMates Mixer Cover : 14W x 9D x 14H Quilted Polyester



Great Product.....Wrong Size! Be Ware of Returns.
I was looking for a cover for my Kitchen Aid Mixer. At the time, this was the only size offered on Amazon. Since the cover was next to the stand mixer like mine, I ordered the cover. Once it arrived, I was very dissappoint because it was too large. The receipt said you can reorder on line and return the original but if you are an Amazon customer call Customer Service. Already, I felt isolated because I purchased the item through Amazon.

I call thinking the company would gladly exchange the cover I received for a smaller one once the original was received in there warehouse. But this was not how it works. You must place a new order through Amazon for a smaller cover to get the right size and, return the original one to get credit back to the manufacture.. I really liked the cover so I did so. I thought this was not the best customer servicing. I expected to be able to return the item to the company and receive a replacement without being charged twice only to have to...

Breville BOV650PP12 12-Inch Pizza Pan for use with the BOV650XL Smart Oven



Lightweighr pizza pan for a heavyweight price.
Breville 12-Inch Pizza Pan: Disappointing. Lightweight and overpriced. Poorly finished: Lightly scrubbed baked on glop spots with a plastic scrubber and the finish lifted off with the spots. I've moved on to a Probake 12 in pan.

Coating comes off
We've had our Breville Oven for less than a year and this pizza pan came with it. The coating is coming off already. We don't scrub it harshly or anything. We are going to have to toss it. What a waste.

Nonstick comes off ...
This came with the Breville oven, so the "price was right" and it fits the oven. But those are the best thing about it. The nonstick loses effectiveness after a few months of use, requiring more scrubbing with a nylon pad to get off the baked-on foodstuffs.

High Quality Washable Reusable Filter Designed To Fit All Dyson DC16 Hand-held Vacuums; Compare To Dyson Part # 912153-01; Designed & Engineered By Crucial Vacuum



Dyson filter
It fit perfect. I was worried it might not fit. would buy again when I need another one for my Dyson DC16

Good fit
Purchased this for our handheld Dyson (our old filter was disgusting). It fit our DC16 model perfectly and we've had no issues.

Wrong shape and doesn't fit
The filter is smaller than the designated pocket, which leaves a gap for air to pass without through the filter. I am not if this is because the vendor shipped the wrong part, or Dyson gave wrong specification.

World Marketing Pelonis Ceramic Safety Heater



Pelonis 5200 BTU Electric Convection Heater
This heater replaces an older Pelonis heater which we have had for 20 years. We are pleased with the adjustable fan speed and the adjustable heat. The heater turns off if picked up, so that is a nice safety feature. The heater works fine for a bath, but would not work well in an office, since the fan is very noisey.

Ceramic Heater
This heater is just what I was looking for at a reasonable price. I wanted a heater just for my bathroom, so I don't have to turn up the heat in my whole house. This does the trick perfectly, and safely.

Great little heater
Very small, but is better than most large heaters. Perfect for a room, or as I'm using it, in my RV.

Woolite All In One Tool, 16C9



Must-have tool for pet owners
This is one of my favorite household tools! It comes with two scoops, so you don't have to touch anything gross while cleaning up messes. There's a brush head for scrubbing and the cleaning fluid is stored in the handle so you don't have to juggle a bottle as well. It all snaps together when you're finished for easy storage - no missing parts! If you have pets who ever get sick, you need one of these!

Great replacement for the Woolite Pod
I loved the Woolite Pod product for quick and easy clean up of carpet spills. This product is a great improvement on the Pod. The scoopers are just right for cleaning up "chunky" messes, the cleaning solution works, and the new design does not leak (as the Pod was prone to do).

Keep your carpet clean
Replaces the disposable ones that worked so well. This is less expensive and works perfectly. I use it to clean up the hairballs that our cat leaves on a gold colored carpet. Had the carpet six years, still looks almost new.

GE WH08X10024 Driving Belt for Washer



awesome once i figured it out.
The product arrived quickly and I tried to put it on and immediately got worried it was too small. Finally after a day of struggling I saw someone with a great tip.

Use the plastic pull ties to strap it to the tumble wheel and then put it on the motor wheel. Then turn the tumble wheel and strap another one on so it doesn't slip off. Got it on in 35 Seconds. Cut the ties and it works perfectly. Saved me a ton of $$

Exact replacement part!!
At half price buying from AMAZON when compared to everything else online; and even less when compared to buying it from the repairman, this was an AWESOME DEAL!! Be warned though- this is a STRETCH belt. At first glance I thought it was 2 inches too short but after my wife of all people showed me how to put it on, it was perfect. But even with her knowledge and help, it's not the easiest task. One other note- if your pulley is even a little loose / slack (Pulley should be tight with NO PLAY), a new belt will ruin it. Highly suggest replacing both at the same time so you only have to do it once.

works great
replaced the drive wheel at the same time as replacing the belt. you might as well do them both at the same time.
