I have one and I love it. Water heats up fast, turns off when boiled with no waste of energy and water is boiling hot. Will give it as a gift to my 85 year old Mother. Than I don't have to worry about the watering boiling away on the stove. I highly recommend it.

i havent the vaguest idea why my wife pressed BUY on this hideous 1970's looking piece of junk, but in doing so she rewarded me for my $40 by screaming "FIRE!!!!" 1 minute after plugging it in. It started burning up with smoke coming out of the right side. I highly recommend you buy this item if you are unhappy with your life circumstances and seek to retire from your time on this Earth.

I wish all simple products were as well designed and well executed as this toaster. A good buy.

we got this immersion blender because of the price point and we wanted one for soups and baby food. we're very pleased with this blender. it works really well for baby food and is able to blend stuff to the right consistency for our 6 month old baby. our only complaint with it is that after a while your finger hurts holding the "engage" button, as noted by someone else.

other than that one complaint, great immersion blender for twice the price.

I needed a counter-top friendly utensil, and the usual 4 quart-sized versions were unnecessarily large for most of my needs. This version works perfectly and has three useful settings: "high" heats quickly (to just under boiling, and MUCH faster than my large unit); the medium setting works well for all-day or over-night recipes, and the "keep warm" setting does just that. I use this every day to prepare whole grains or beans, and it's perfect for the purpose. The construction is good and the price is better!

-Guys.

Lend Me Your Ears.

This thing rocks.

I bought one of these about four years ago when I was just learning how to drink coffee.
I got it for ten bucks at the Longs Drugs down the street.

It worked then, when I was making joe with my roommate's hand-me-down Mr. Coffee crap machine.
It works now, with the beautiful Breville espresso maker I (we) just got as a wedding present.

If you're having trouble getting a fine grind, you just hafta shake it. For espresso, I shake it for about thirty seconds and everything kinda turns out alright.
Sure, there are some beans that didn't get totally obliterated, but this is a ten-dollar coffee grinder that has lasted me for four years.

It's no $100 burr grinder, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one of those, but this thing is like thirteen bucks! If this is your price range (i.e. the 2 large lattes price range) you really can't complain too much.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but I'd get this grinder's back if it took me to a party and s--t started to go down.

I have been on the market for a good waffle maker since the nonstick coating on my old one started chipping away. I purchased the Waring Pro due to the good reviews but found it to be WAY too big and it did not even produce good waffles in my opinion. I decided to try out the Proctor Silex and I was blown away. It made the most perfect restaurant style Belgian waffles quickly and easily. It can be stored vertically so as not to take up much space as well. My only criticism has to do with the handle. It is inconvenient since it is located where much steam escapes causing you to potentially burn your fingers. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with this item.

I have a Magic Bullet & it is hard to chop anything in it without it turning to mush.The Proctor Silex Food Chopper doesn`t do that.It`s quick,easy to use & easy to clean.I would like to eventualy get a bigger one to do bigger jobs but this little one is perfect for me because I recently had weight loss surgery & need smaller portions.My mom also has one.I would definately reccomend this product to anyone.

I have been using this product several times a day- almost daily- for extended periods of time and it has worked like a champ. The only reasons I didn't give it five stars is because: 1. The spout tends to dribble down the side a bit when you go to pour it out - maybe it's just me, but I don't feel I should have to experiment in finding the "optimal pouring angle". 2. When I go to turn the tempurature down to the off position I will not only hear a click (no problem) but will see a flash through the water container. While I have been hit by house current before (and worse) I really don't consider it a hobby so this has me a little anxious. Maybe some other user can provide information to see if this is common with this unit or not.

Great for the occassional item that has a few wrinkles. Not for heavy duty use.
