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.
