Customer Review:

king of the world

I fell in love with this product the moment I saw it. blends very well with variable speeds and a extra long cord for greater movement.

What more can be said

It's a KitchenAid and at $25 with a $5 rebate, what more do you need. Simply 9 Speed dial on top to pick from for pleanty of power, a 4-cup beaker capacity with lid and KitchenAid 1-Year hassle-free replacement warranty and their History of quality. You have the option of punching 2 different attachments, Wisk and chopper attachment that make this very useful tool and I must for any kitchen. Just to get this great price you only have the Cobalt Blue color to pick from which was fine since all my KitchenAid appliances are.

Simple, sturdy........almost perfect

After having used this for a couple of months, there are two impressions that are evident. #1, this looks like it will be another life-long product from KitchenAid. It is solid and fits just right in a cook's hand, it is deep enough to reach the bottom of any pot I own, and, finally, it is an absolute snap to clean. #2, the blender I have will be going into the end-of-summer garage sale.

Holmes HAWF2043 Twin Window Fan

This double window fan draws in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhausts stale, hot air from inside. It can also do both simultaneously, because each of the two fans can be set independently to draw in or exhaust out, allowing the unit to exchange inside and outside air. Operable either manually or automatically--with its thermostat turning the fans off and on to maintain a selected temperature--the unit has a one-touch electronic control and two speeds so it can be adjusted to conditions. It's designed to fit double-hung, vertical-slider, and casement windows. A built-in 7-inch extender and two 3-inch extenders permit custom fitting for windows from 24 to 37 inches wide. Because the unit is lightweight plastic it can be moved easily from room to room. The fans have six blades and measure 8-1/2 inches in diameter. Overall, the unit is 12-1/4 inches high, arrives fully assembled, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Customer Review:

I LOVE IT!

This is probably my best buy this summer! It not only brings down the temps in my room, but best of all, it freshens the air! I set one fan to exhaust and the other to intake. I leave it on at the lowest setting for a day or two. Now, when I come home from work, my room smell so fresh, dry and clean! Repeat when necessary :)

Holmes Twin Window Fan Model 2043

This fan is one of the most efficient fans, I've used. Being able to set it for different temperatures, plus using it as an exhaust fan, takes the hassle out of having to get up at night to adjust it. It is also light weight and easy to install in a window, and take out during a storm. Storage during the winter is easy because of the small size. I think they are just as efficient as an air conditioning unit when used for pulling cool air in at night. I intend on buying one more for the guest room, then my cooling system will be complete.

Nothing is perfect, but it's better than to have nothing

It's a good product, it does take out the heat from my apt. It helps my a/c works in my whole apt.

Simply Calphalon Nonstick 1-Quart Saucepan with Stainless-Steel Lid

The Simply Calphalon Nonstick Anodized line of cookware is an excellent alternative for those who prefer cooking on a nonstick surface and who desire Calphalon quality at a budget price. Perfect for single servings, this 1-quart saucepan cooks an individual portion of vegetable soup, puttanesca sauce, or quinoa.

Made of durable hard-anodized aluminum of uniform thickness, the pan is an excellent heat conductor and cooks food quickly and evenly. Its double-coated nonstick interior prevents food from sticking and makes cleanup easier. The pan has a contoured oval stainless-steel handle with a blasted satin finish that is comfortable to grip and is held in place by sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The contrasting brushed stainless-steel cover is slightly domed for steaming foods, offering more versatility to this pan. This saucepan is oven-safe up to 375 degrees F so you don't have to dirty several pans to make one dish. All cookware in this line is 100-percent dishwasher-safe (although cleaning with soap and water is recommended to maintain the nonstick finish) and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Review:

You're Kidding, Right?

This much quality for this little price?

After reading the previous review, I kept an eye out to match that price, and tripped over these little guys briefly at $9.99. Not to be outdone, I also picked up three.. The one quart size finished out my cookware upgrade... I have both Calphalon and Cuisinart, anodized, nonstick and stainless - all bought on sale from Amazon...

I was really plesed with the quality of these little saucepans - I was expecting thinner material, at least as thin as the Cuisinart.. The only place I note they may have cut corners, is that the handles aren't polished - but I don't find that a problem at all, in fact, the "out of the cast" finish improves the grip... And because I got them at that price AND free shipping, I kept checking to see if my order actually went through.

Thank you Amazon...

Perfect for small servings

Excellent quality for the lesser calphalon cookware line. I bought 3 on the friday sale for $12.98 and consider that quite a bargain. The Amazon product review is right on target!

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-1/2-Quart Saucier with Lid

You just might find yourself using this versatile piece of cookware more than any other in your kitchen. Reducing sauces, braising meats, boiling pasta, browning chicken: this pot can do it all, on the stovetop or in the oven. This saucier has straight sides and a wide profile, and two sturdy double-riveted handles make it safer and easier to lift when full. (Don't forget that the cast stainless-steel handles remain cool on the stove, but heat right up in the oven.) Like all of the products in Calphalon's commercial hard-anodized series, it distributes heat efficiently, so foods brown quickly and cook uniformly. In fact, try cooking over a lower setting than you customarily use; Calphalon cookware conducts heat so well that it's easy to overdo the first few times around. Unlike cookware coated with a synthetic nonstick finish, the hard-anodized surface won't chip, crack, or peel if you use a metal spatula, and it doesn't react with acidic foods such as citrus or tomato. All of Calphalon's commercial hard-anodized cookware comes with a lifetime warranty, and if treated with care, it'll last as long as you do. Always wash this cookware by hand with mild cleansers, and don't place a hot pan in cold water--it could warp. --Mary Park

Customer Review:

great value

This is a very large pan diameter-wise. Cooks evenly and works well on ceramic cooktop. It cleans easily but is really not "non-stick". A terrific value for the money. All pros...no cons.

If you have room to store it, get it

This is a great pot, if you have the room. It's very big and takes up 2 burners on the stove..however, you can cook an entire package of lasagna noodles, nothing sticks or boils over, you can make enough spagetti for 6 teenagers, it's great for a 1 pot meal for up to 12 people. The heat distribution is even, it cleans up easily and is nice enough to put on the table. You can't really beat the Amazon price either.

LOVE IT !!!

I love it. I wasn't sure when I first ordered it but now that I have it I hate to use anything else. I am putting in more orders soon.
