It works pretty well.
Cons:
Highest setting is LOUD!
Filter seems to get dirty fast. This could be a good thing or a bad. The filter seems sort of thin/small so maybe that's why it gets dirty fast. But at least its picking dust up?

Pros:
It works? Nice fan too.

I have a 7 quart crock and a smaller 1.5 quart crock, but needed and in between. This has fit the bill perfectly!

An old, dark filter proved it was working. Due to cost, it wasn't replaced more often but was vacuumed. I stocked up when it was on sale in the Gold Box and at a 4 for 3 special.

I brought this juicer as it was a cheaper option to other juicers. Unfortunately the juicer was incomplete and had no switch on it. My advice is that you spend a bit more and get your moneys' worth.

I'm a tea lover, and I'm thrilled with the Hamilton Beach Iced Tea Maker. What I like:

1. It's much safer than boiling water on the stove (and possibly forgetting it!) or having to pour boiling water into a pitcher.

2. The tea tastes better than tea made the conventional way. I use 2 large bags of Luzianne tea, with the "strong" setting, and it turns out great - a pretty amber color, no bitterness, just the flavor of tea. Leftover tea tastes good hours later or even the next day. I love that this appliance allows you to dial the strength of tea you want.

3. The pour spout on the tea pitcher does not leak or spill over! This may seem trivial, but it's not to me. Most of the pitchers I've had in the past were messy to use.

4. The appliance is compact. The tower fits easily in the cabinet under my sink. The streamlined pitcher takes up little refrigerator space.

5. The price is reasonable. And, Amazon puts this item on sale most weekends, with free shipping for purchases over $25.

I couldn't be happier with this appliance. I just hope it lasts forever (we'll see!).

I filled the 6 qt. pot about 2/3 full, set it on Low, and then pushed the 6 qt button. I checked on it after 2-3 hours, and could see that the food was literally boiling! I plan to return this item. A slow cooker without a reliable Low setting is of limited value to me.

We have used this can opener for several months and are very pleased with the quality of the product and the ease of operation. For certain, it is the best can opener we have ever owned.

This blender is handy for on the go drinks but not very good at blending frozen fruit. I haven't tried ice for that reason. If large pieces of fruit are put in first before more liquid items, frequent hand mixing is needed. A bit of a learning curve is needed as to what works best whereas a larger, more powerful blender would not be a problem.

Although I like this air cleaner because it does seem to filter out dirty particles, I have decided not to continue using it.
1) filters are way too expensive1
2) the air cleaner is noisy - I turn it off when watching TV, or conversing with others in the family room.
3) the air blasts out of the top of the unit -- you can feel it as you walk by; this has a chilling effect on a person as he/she walks by - especially in winter.
(The smaller 4381 unit for my office, on the other hand, is quiet, efficient and more affordable!

I was looking for an inexpensive small personal blender that was powerful, easy to use, and could blend a perfect smoothie. I did a lot of research and looked into about a dozen other brands including the famed "Magic Bullet". What I found out was that not all personal blenders are made equal. The "Magic Bullet" didn't get very good reviews even though it is by far the most popular. After all my intense research, I settled on this one... The Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender. Here's the scoop on what makes this surprising blender the "cream of the crop" :)

Pros:

-Simple and easy to use
-Easy to Clean
-Powerful enough to chop frozen fruits (and probably ice too)
-Pulse button allows you more control because you can start or stop it.
-Seems very sturdy and only has 3 parts to it. (lid, glass, and base)
-This thing is freaking cheap... got mine for $15.
-Blends Smoothies perfectly with no unchopped pieces of fruit.
-Power cord can be tucked in and wrapped around bottom of base for storage.



Cons:
-Emits a slight 'burnt oil' odor while it is in operation... but it's not as bad as it sounds.
-The Lid seems kind of flimsy.


Conclusion:
At $15 this little blender is not only a bargain, it gets the job done and does it well! In fact, it works just as well as my friend's personal blender which costs more than twice the amount I spent on this one. The elegance and simplicity of the design is also to be admired. The plastic blending container also doubles as a travel mug and the Lid to it doubles as a sipping lid when used as a travel mug. It's a nice surprise to see a product in which you can see that they put a lot of thought into it's design. It's positive aspects greatly outshine the few negatives... especially when considering the price. So if you need an amazing blender but you're on a budget, pick this one up and never look back! By the way, this thing is also available elsewhere... like "Wally World" and "Target" ...and at the same low price :)
