Hamilton Beach 72610 Fresh Chop 3-Cup Food Chopper Review

Hamilton Beach 72610 Fresh Chop 3-Cup Food Chopper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is incredibly handy, compact, and powerful. I've found that it's great for baking preparation, chopping nuts, mincing vegetables, and blending thicker sauces (My peanut sauce came out great!).
However, there are a few problems I can't overlook:
1.) Do not fill the processor more than half way (This reduces the capacity to about 2 cups) -- especially if you are making beverages or thin sauces. When you remove the canister to pour the contents out, the contents sometimes spill through the center of the canister (all over your kitchen counter), even if you have left in the blade attachment.
2.) Ice is a no-go. I almost burnt out the motor trying to make margaritas. (I was on vacation and accidentally left my blender at home.)
If you need a mini chopper select projects (e.g. baking, salad making), this is a good investment. However, if you need more flexibility and power, I would suggest buying a larger model.

KItchenAid Food Processor Compact Lid Review

KItchenAid Food Processor Compact Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a replacement work bowl lid for Kitchenaid's 11-cup food processors, models KFP500, KFP600, KFP650, and KFP670. These models have been discontinued, and parts and accessories for them are no longer available from Kitchenaid. It is a perfect fit on my KFP600, purchased February 2000, and it looks a little more robust than the original lid (thicker plastic). I thought the price plus shipping was exorbitant for a piece of injection-molded plastic, and I considered knocking off one star for that reason. But unlike the KitchenAid 4176273 Food Pusher you could not make your own replacement, and this lid is less than one quarter the price of a new 12-cup Kitchenaid food processor.

Back to Basics BPE3BRAUS Blender Express Plus 11-Piece Mixing System Review

Back to Basics BPE3BRAUS Blender Express Plus 11-Piece Mixing System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's funny, the different experiences people have with the same products. Now, this review is for the Blender Express, not the "Plus." The only difference is the attachments. My wife picked up a couple of these at Wally World after Christmas (2005). They were in a clearance cart for [...] each. I figured that they were probably pretty cheap and I'd have a backup after I burned the first one up. Well, a little over a year later, I'm still using the first one. I use it 3-4 times a week for smoothies and frozen coffee drinks. I have to say that I really abuse the little guy. My coffee drinks call for half of the mug to be filled with crushed ice.
It will make these drinks with a minimum of "crunchy" ice particles and they are quite enjoyable. I never expected it to last this long because, truthfully, from day one, I have been able to notice the "burned wire" odor coming from the unit as I continuosly overload the mug. Yet, it is still chugging along. Even at the full price, a year of this type of useage certainly makes it a good value. And, cleanup is extremely easy and the "make it and run" mug is really handy. Of course, for larger quantities, I fall back on the larger blender. If I ever do wear out both of these units, I would not hesitate to purchase another.
UPDATE: 7/10/2009
Just wanted to add this note. Two and a half years after the above review (makes the unit three-odd years old), we're still using it!!! It still makes the smoothest frozen drinks. I guess we really got lucky with this one. I can't even remember where we put the second one! :)

Whether setting up house for the first time or looking to add versatility to an already busy kitchen, this 11-piece mixing system provides exceptional convenience. The set includes a powerful 350-watt motor base, one chopping blade base, one ice-crushing blade base, two 24-ounce heavy-duty plastic travel mugs, 12-ounce and 18-ounce plastic blending containers, two leak-proof closable sipping lids, and two comfort-fit drinking rims. With its small footprint, the compact unit takes up minimal space on the counter, yet it replaces a food processor, blender, and coffee grinder. Use it to grind fresh coffee beans or to make homemade salsa, salad dressings, milk shakes, and more. Simply add ingredients to one of the two blending containers, connect the container to the power base, and turn the dial from "low" to "high" speed or to the "pulse" setting to set the blades spinning. Even more, the containers feature durable see-through construction, which makes it easy to keep an eye on the consistency and to identify contents at a glance when stored in the refrigerator. A user manual with recipes comes included. Quick to assemble and easy to clean, the mixing system, with its sleek brushed-chrome exterior, measures approximately 6 by 5-1/2 by 13-1/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

KitchenAid KGM Stand-Mixer Grain-Mill Attachment Review

KitchenAid KGM Stand-Mixer Grain-Mill Attachment
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Grinds whole grain wheat into a nice fine flour for bread making. Works as advertised.
Dinged it a star because:
- limited to grinding 10 cups of flour during a session, then having to wait 45 minutes for the motor to cool. Instructions do not delineate between professional series mixers and smaller models so not sure if this is an issue for the bigger mixers.
- blades are steel - long term storage requires disassembly and coating blades with mineral oil to limit rust. Must clean initially before first use to avoid clogging
- housing is fairly substantial aluminum, hopper holds about three cups of berries. The housing does rock and roll a bit when you grind at the finest setting for flour in a single pass; nothing broke and I guess it would be ok, but seeing the deflection in that housing left me uncomfortable.
Bottom Line - ok for occasional use. Buy a dedicated device if you have 10 kids and make bread every day from fresh ground flour as I can't see this holding up to serious use for any length of time.

Enjoy the superior flavor of freshly ground baking ingredients with the help of this simple-to-use mixer attachment. Designed for use with KitchenAid stand mixers (sold separately), the all-metal mill attaches easily to the mixer's hub to quickly grind any low-moisture and low-oil grain--everything from wheat, corn, and oats to rice, buckwheat, barley, and millet. Choose from barely cracked to extra-fine consistencies--and several settings in between--to achieve the exact coarseness desired for each recipe. Best of all, just-ground grain imparts a rich, hearty taste and texture to foods, and it prevents the depletion of nutrients common with store-bought items. Great for those on gluten-free or other special diets, the unit also makes it fast and effortless to prepare delicious cracked-wheat bread, chunky cornmeal muffins, and other everyday staples for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The grain-mill attachment comes with a cleaning brush and measures approximately 8 by 4-2/5 by 8-1/5 inches.

No complaints about this bowl. The small size is fine for our needs but we don't prepare large or fancy meals very often. I bought a replacement bowl for my DLC-1SS because the bowl became really dingy and filthy-looking after using it to grind some allspice. The texture of the spice acted like sandpaper and scarred the inside surface and it looks dirty all of the time.

KitchenAid KFPW760 Food Processor, 12 Cup Wide Mouth Review

KitchenAid KFPW760 Food Processor, 12 Cup Wide Mouth
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very unhappy with this much touted processor You can't make a decent pesto sauce, neither the small blade for mini bowl, or normal multipurpose blade chops basil or small leaves well..For pesto you need a different appliance or mortar and pestle, not this behemoth. Worse, it is impossible to clean the multipurpose blade inside the shaft. When you make a paste or forcemeat it sticks like crazy glue to the plastic and no amount of soaking, heavy duty cycles in the dishwasher or wishful thinking can get the gunk out of the blade. Other foods stick to the plastic bowl - very difficult to clean, even after two runs in a good dishwasher. Kitchen Aid customer service couldn't offer any advice. Totally useless to call them. They are of absolutely no help.
This appliance is very heavy, don't count on taking it out each time. It has to have a dedicated spot on the counter. Doesn't come with fine slicing or shredding blade. Pulse action works well. Next time I'll go back to the more reliable and user-friendly Cuisinart.

This blender has great power - which is why I bought it and the price was decent. The base (where the motor is) is nice and solid and metal cased. The glass jar is solid and huge. The part which I have BIG complaints about is the bottom part (which you screw the jar and blades into) This part is made of CHEAP THIN PLASTIC plus it is very very difficult to screw on tightly (to prevent leaks when blending) and even more difficult to unscrew once you finish use and want to clean it.

OMEGA 8003 WHEAT GRASS MULTIPURPOSE ELECTRIC JUICER/FOOD PROCESSOR/PASTA EXTRUDER Review

OMEGA 8003 WHEAT GRASS MULTIPURPOSE ELECTRIC JUICER/FOOD PROCESSOR/PASTA EXTRUDER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this juicer at least partially out of curiosity. I've had a Champion 25+ years, an Acme for 20, and Breville, L'Equip and Omega centrifugal juicers.
The problem with these centrifugals is that they are awful for leafy greens. The Champion will do leafy greens okay, but I was interested in higher yield. Plus, I do enjoy a shot of wheatgrass and the Champion won't do it at all.
I looked at both twin-gear and single-auger types. Twin-gear juicers are still being developed, so I ended up single-auger. After watching the TriBest infomercial demonstrated by some babe who acted like she was on cocaine, I went to Omega. My Omega centrifugal works flawlessly. I purchased the 8003 over the 8005 or 8006 because I like white appliances.
The 8003 is heavier than it appears in photos. However, it is quite compact, smaller than my Champion. Assembly is quite simple; the auger housing, auger, screen and end cone fit logically and the locking wheels are able to be operated with wet hands. As stated by another reviewer, the feed tube is not large; if one wants to drop whole pieces of fruit in this isn't the juicer for you. This is by far the quietest juicer I've owned.
No, where this juicer excels is with leafy greens. It will happily chomp its way through any green one wants. Unlike the Champion, stringy greens such as celery won't accidentally get wound around the auger. The trick with this juicer is to let the slow-turning auger feed at its own speed, helped with the pusher. BTW if anyone wants to see this juicer in action, go to YouTube and there are several excellent demos. I can run several carrots at a time through the big-mouth Breville; not on this juicer. However, of course, the Breville won't do leafy greens as this one does!
The downside to a white juicer is that carrots and beets can stain. Doesn't bother me, but if that could be a problem, buy the chrome finish one with black peripherals.
I know there has been a model 8006 introduced recently with an auger that's supposed to be several times harder than the melamine one used here. For ~$125 more, I don't see the benefit. I expect the price on the 8006 will drop when the novelty wears off.
If one wants to juice carrots, apples, and other firm fruit, a centrifugal will probably be the juicer of choice. I still use mine for these. However, if one wants to increase leafy greens in one's diet, one of these will definitely fill the bill.

The power is amazing. The suction cups on the bottom hold it in place but don't require a weight lifting belt to get it free from the counter , like the first version did. I gave away my new KitchenAid in favor of this product , the KitchenAid was damaged in one light use.
