Black & Decker T2100 2 Slice Wide Slot Electric Toaster, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One criteria for this toaster was the size - it had to fit in a basket on my counter (did not want to have to replace the expensive basket also). I have always had good experience with Black & Decker appliances. My only problem with this toaster is the size of the slice holes. A small amount of the bread sticks out at the top no matter which way you put the bread in. I usually just turn it around mid way through the cycle - however, not really a problem if you don't. Also, like the bagel feature.

Oster FPSTMC3321 3-Cup Mini Chopper with Whisk, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love my new Oster Mini food chopper! The reason for a 4 star rating: Use caution if blending liquids as they tend to foam up and flow out under the blade/whisk and into the motor housing. This happened to me. After letting it dry out for a few days, it's working fine. And the hot chocolate was delicious, although I will use a larger blender next time! So be careful! This could happen with any food processor, large or small. This is a pleasure to use! Chop an onion in seconds, make bread crumbs instantly, many other uses. I recommend it!

Make quick work of everyday food-prepping tasks in the kitchen with the help of this mini chopper. Equipped with a 150-watt motor, the efficient unit offers a 3-cup-capacity work bowl with a sharp S-shaped stainless-steel blade that chops, slices, dices, purees, and more. Two extra-large buttons make it easy to switch between low and high speed settings depending upon the consistency desired. Use the mini chopper for anything from chopping vegetables to layer onto a homemade pizza to pureeing garbanzo beans and garlic for a hummus spread. The Oster mini chopper's lid features a small opening that allows for safely adding water, olive oil, or other liquid while simultaneously processing for smooth results (no need to remove the lid). The unit also provides a handy whisk attachment for optimal whipping results, and a spatula that works well for scraping food off the sides of the work bowl. Housed in black with chromed accents, the mini chopper's cord tucks neatly away for compact storage, and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap.

Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro Wide-Mouth 10-Cup Food Processor, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
1 - 500 watt motor is more powerful than most other food processors
2 - Two speeds allows a little more precision during use
3 - Suction cup feet hold it pretty steady even when chopping a lot of veggies
4 - Comes with a dough kneading blade
5 - No louder than my little 3 cup chopper when running
6 - Has a wide mouth chute (see cons below)
7 - Large capacity (10 cups)
Cons
1 - No convenient way to store the cutting disc or blade when not in use. Both won't fit in the bowl during storage. The B&D FP2500S model comes with the storage lid. Or you can order it for $9.95 (part # - 07239GZ4)
2 - Goofy feeder chute only allows you to continually feed food into the small chute. In order to use the wide mouth chute, the chute must be removed, stopping the machine.
3 - Like most other Food processors, will only hold about 3 cups of liquid before it runs over to top of the shaft and leaks out the bottom. This is common with most brands and this model is no different.
4 - Having to lock the bowl on the base, the lid on the bowl, and the chute on the lid before the thing will run; is a pain. I understand the B&D is trying to make sure no one gets hurt using this thing but...geezz.
I own several higher end appliances from Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart. No one is going to mistake this food processor for one from either of those two companies. That being said, at $60 bucks it is one third the cost of a comparable sized Kitchen Aid unit.
I have owned this unit for a couple of weeks and have used it on about a dozen different chores. Overall it performs very well. It shreds cheese easily assuming the cheese is cold. I have used it to chop nuts and make bread crumbs. And it shreds carrots well. It comes with a dough blade, but since I have been using my Kitchen Aid stand mixer (the one appliance I could not live without) to knead dough for 10 years, I doubt I will ever use this feature.
If you need an inexpensive food processor for occasional use...this unit should work well for you.

Slice, chop, shred, grate, or puree just about anything with this 500-watt food processor, an invaluable addition to any busy kitchen. The appliance offers a large 10-cup-capacity work bowl with a generous handle and a wide-mouth feed chute that accommodates whole apples, potatoes, onions, and other whole foods--no need to cut into smaller pieces first. Use the stainless-steel chopping blade, stainless-steel reversible slicing and shredding disk, or the dough blade depending on the task at hand. Choose from three soft-touch Mylar buttons for low speed, high speed, or pulse, which delivers an extra burst of power as needed. Other highlights include a safety-interlock system for peace of mind, heavy-duty suction-cup feet to keep the machine in place during operation, convenient cord storage, and dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup. Sleek and sturdy, the food processor measures 11 by 9-3/5 by 16-3/5 inches.

Black & Decker T4030 4-Slice Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this toaster for about two months now and am very pleased with the toast I get from it. It seems to be almost impossible to find a toaster these days that will toast bread evenly and consistently. This one not only does the job, but is also reasonably priced.
I have used the "bagel" setting for English muffins and it works well, toasting just the inside surface of the muffin while warming the crust side. Bread is evenly toasted on both sides. It doesn't matter which slot I use, the toast is consistently the same degree of "brown." Each pair of slots has its own set of controls, so you can toast to different degrees of "brown" at the same time. The "frozen" setting works with frozen bread as it should. In short, this toaster does exactly what it's supposed to.
I have only two criticisms. First, it takes a long time to get the job done. That is ameliorated somewhat by the fact that there are four slots, making it twice as fast as a two-slot toaster. To toast bread to a medium-brown takes about 3:30 (minutes:seconds) on setting number five. The settings go to six, which yields a smoking, almost black, piece of toast after 4:30. If you want your toast truly black, you'll have to use the "frozen" setting.
My other criticism is its size. Check the dimensions and make sure that you can live with them. This toaster is large.
Edit: I have found one more criticism, but it still doesn't affect my opinion that this is an excellent toaster. When the toast pops up, it isn't raised high enough. The toaster will allow you to lift the toast another half-inch or so, but unless you are toasting a full-sized piece of bread (think English muffin) you will not be able to reach it without a tool. This is an annoyance, but I just stab the muffin with my butter knife and pull it out.
All in all, an excellent toaster. I'd buy it again.

Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We looked at a number of ovens and wanted something that did the basic things and didn't take up too much space. No convection (we have a convection oven) and no digital - its just a basic appliance. We looked at the B&D 240 but this just seemed too basic and too flimsy. Then we saw this one. It has all the basics, it's a good, small size and its silver / black which matches our kitchen. It has 3 controls (as compared to the basic model w/ 2) making it easy to select temp, function and time. The handle is securely attached to the glass door -the metal ends wrap around the glass so it won't fall off (a complaint about other ovens). It has a nice slide out crumb tray that has access from the front with the oven door close - this makes it very easy to empty. Nicely toasted our first bagel in just a few minutes and it was very evenly browned, something our regular toaster did not do well at all.
Pros
Gets hot fast
Basic controls work well
Easy access crumb tray
Even toasting and heating
Cons
Not many
The top and sides do get hot so don't store anything on this!

Black & Decker EK700 9-Inch Electric Carving Knife, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perhaps the first reviewer had a defective knife because I can only give this inexpensive little knife the very highest recommendation. Initially, I had purchased a very (in my opinion) expensive electric knife ($65) which lasted all of, what? Two months? Yup, two months. Since I couldn't really afford to drop that kind of cash so soon again on an electric knife I got the Black & Decker EK700, not expecting it to last for very long because on average I bake at least a dozen loaves of bread a week, half of which are heavy wheat or rye breads.
As of today, February 28, 2008, I'm editing this review to make this comment: I used this knife for about a year before I posted my original review and it is STILL WORKING! Honestly, how can you beat that? I am really amazed at how sturdy it is. With the use I put it through I would have expected it to last no more than six months. But after all this time, with steady, hard use, it's running almost as well as the day I bought it. Great knife, unbelievably sturdy, easy to clean -- frankly, I can't think of anything bad to say about it. Highly recommended.

Alternately, use the industrious knife to slice quickly through hard cheeses, create uniform slices of freshly baked bread, or slice effortlessly through hard-shelled watermelon and gourds. Its nonslip handle affords unparalleled comfort and security, while its safety lock prevents potential injury caused by accidental starts. Additional highlights include a flush-cut blade design, nonslip tabs for easy blade removal and quick cleanup, and a compact design that stashes neatly in a drawer when not in use. The electric carving knife measures approximately 12-2/5 by 2-4/5 by 3-1/5 inches.

Black & Decker B2250 All-In-One Automatic Breadmaker for 1-1/2 to 2-Pound Loaves Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you've read many breadmaker reviews like I have you'll notice many very negative reviews and many very positive reviews for the same machines. You'll also notice a tendancy for newbs to have great success and experienced users to fail dramatically. I don't understand why; though I suspect a conspiracy ;)
I am a newb bread maker, and I didn't read the other reviews on this product when I bought it on sale at ... a retail outlet for under $50. The price was great and it was the only one in the store. I knew I could return it if I wasn't happy. I wanted one as I want a better diet. I can't find any good tasting breads in stores that are also good for my blood sugars (diabetic eh). There may not be one anywhere as I now find out that all recipes have some white flour or equivalant to make them fluff up and stick together, but that's another tale.
This machine has made two loaves for me without a flaw. I made the plain white sandwich bread on medium nad a Robin Hood Oatmeal Raisin bread on light. Both were fantastic! I've written enough, so I'll point form the positives and negatives I found:
Positive:
+ does not burn. Bread was perfect.
+ shakes but moved only 1/4 of an inch on the #5 (3:40) setting, less on the sandwich (1:55) setting.
+ does not stick. Nope, it's very slippery. If you can't clean this, you should not be allowed in a kitchen.
+ LCD very visible
+ beeps loudly
+ very sturdy paddle. No issues.
Negatives:
- thin recipe book/manual. I'm skeptical of a currant bread with no currants.
- buttons very hard to read
- buttons backward from manual descriptions (pfft!)
- cover does not come off. My 2nd loaf did stick to it a bit, and cleaning was not difficult, but if a disaster happens, cleaning could be tough.
- it's a vertical bin, but that's what you pay for.
So far I'm very happy.
