Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Review (rating: 4):
I purchased the Breville Compact Juice Fountain in December and have used almost daily since. I think the juicer works very well. I have had a couple of problems with the juicer and when I contacted Breville they took care of them immediately. I find the clean up isn't all that difficult especially if done immediately after juicing. I live in a 5th wheel and have limited space. This juicer doesn't take up a lot of counter space. I'd definitely recommend it.
Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush

Review (rating: 5):
I bought this brush mainly to bring an order total up to enough to get free shipping. After I "peeled" some carrots with it, and decided that is was a really neat tool. After a few uses, I have begun to wonder if I even need a veggie peeler.
At Christmas, my daughter-in-law was doing some dishes (lovely girl) and she picked up my veggie brush and started to clean a griddle. I was concerned that she ruined my brush. But, not only was the brush fine, our Teflon coated Presto electric griddle was stain free.

Review (rating: 5):
We really like apple recipes, but it was such a hassle to peel and slice the apples. No more! I'm usually skeptical, but after reading the reviews on Amazon plus the Cooks Illustrated review, I decided to try it. So easy and quick! Haven't tried it on potatoes yet, but wish I had had this before Thanksgiving! It would have saved me a lot of time and work!

This peeler has a comfortable grip, slices thinly enough that you are not wasting vegetable, and even has a notcher to remove potato eyes! Very happy with my purchase.
Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor

Review (rating: 5):
This is the best product I ever bought. This juicer is easy to clean, it takes me about 5 minutes to do it. The company made it even easier to clean by providing special brush.
I want to share my secret, after I did my juice I collect what is left- I mean grounded fruits and I eat them. What I do not it I keep in refrigerator for next day.Those fruits are the best source of vitamin and fiber. I stay healthy all winter.
Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White
Amazon Price: .99
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Review (rating: 4):
I had an early salad shooter and loved it. When using the new pro version, I realized how much better it could get. Yes, the salad shooter is missing a fine grater cone, but the new version is much easier to turn on and off. Sounds strange, but the little flip switch versus a sliding switch made a world of difference to me.
I love this device and use it for cheese, vegetables and fruit.
Watch those stringy vegetables such as celery...your knive will work better on those.
Cheese is best shredded when frozen. It doesn't stick to the cone as much.
Anyone with carpal tunnel will sing the praises of this device.
Oxo Good Grips Potato Ricer
Amazon Price: .95
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Review (rating: 5):
I used this for the first time for Thanksgiving 2008 and it worked just great! It squeezes out a little potato around the top when you squeeze, but that doesn't bother me. You can only squeeze one medium to large potato at a time due to a small basket; but if it was much bigger, it would be hard to squeeze it shut. It does take a little arm strength, but put in less potato if you can't squeeze it with a large potato in it. If it bothers you to do a little at a time, you would probably want to buy an electronic grinder or such instead of this. My family loved the mashed potatoes and I am very happy with it, especially for the price.

My wife has been making jelly and canning for years. She had always gotten the jars out of the hot water with regular kitchen utensils until I got her this set. What a difference. Much easier and I think safer. Well worth it and she loves them.
Debbie Meyer Green Bags

Review (rating: 1):
I bought these bags on a whim while dieting. I was eating healthy foods (fruits and veggies) but could not consume them fast enough before they went bad. When (if) you read the directions it reccommends that you check your produce daily and "wipe" out the bag. There was condensation on the inside of the bag that actually cause the produce to go bad faster than if you just left original packaging. Will never purchase again, would give a minus score if I could.
