Promising review: "This little gem is NOT one of those small appliances I get and put on a shelf until the 'some day' that never comes. I LOVE THIS EGG COOKER, for lots of reasons. The key, to me, is I set it up for the eggs I want (add the level of the water for soft, medium or hard eggs) and — now get this — turn on the machine and WALK AWAY. I can go get ready for work and my eggs are ready for me in seven minutes or less. There is no worry about the cooker causing a problem overheating because the unit turns off by itself. If I forget I cooked some eggs for some reason, I don't have to charge back home and turn it off." —Julia Wolfe

Promising review: "I use this at least three times a week. I got it as a Christmas present from my mom and it is the best! You can get so creative with these. I will say the first time you use it, it will have a plastic-burn smell at first, it will eventually go away. There is a light when it is ready, but you have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off." —alfe

Promising review: "This Griddler is awesome! It is so easy to cook with and clean. I got it for my fiancé because he loves making grilled cheese and Cuban sandwiches! I figured we could just use it as a panini press, but let me tell you, after we made delicious grilled cheese and saw how fast and easy it was, we decided to make burgers on it. We ground our own beef and put the Griddler on 'sear.' It seared the beef right away, all liquids were pouring into the container, it was draining excess fat perfectly, and it took probably five to seven minutes to make the burger well done. It was juicy and delicious!" —Kate

Promising review: "This is perfect for someone counting macros. Also for people like me who don't really read directions, because we think we are smart and don't need them (you know who you all are) — if you place something like a container on it and THEN turn it on, it will automatically take that container for you, such a nice feature. I LOVE this scale. Also, it's super easy to switch between grams, ounces, and pounds." —R. A. Black

Promising review: "This is the appliance I never knew I needed! I saw it on an Amazon and thought, what the heck let's try one. I am blown away. I have been baking most of my husband's bread for several years. He has celiac disease and must have a gluten-free diet. This bread maker has a gluten-free setting which works awesome. I've made loaf after loaf and they've all come out great! And it's so easy. I just have to dump my ingredients in and walk away. It's never been so easy. And I've discovered it does other things I had no idea a bread maker could do! I have made several batches of jam in it and they all come out great. This poor machine has run for days straight now making one thing after another as I tested it out. I wasn't sure I was going to keep it at first because I didn't think I needed another appliance — I tried it on a whim. I'm so glad I did! It has really made my life much easier!" —Laura A.

Promising review: "This toaster oven works so much better than ones I have previously owned. It's perfect for cooking up a loaf of bread, and for cooking up side dishes during busy holidays like Thanksgiving when sometimes there just isn't enough space in a full oven. It heats quickly and temperature seems accurate. It also looks great in my kitchen." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This toaster has been in daily service for three years and has performed well. It's a moderately priced appliance, so I don't expect perfection, but this unit has come pretty close. The bagel setting heats the entire bagel (not just the exterior like other toasters with bagel settings). There are lots of toasters that claim to have a 'retro look' but this is unique in its old-school feel. With periodic maintenance (emptying the crumb trays, using a toothbrush to clean the elements, etc.) this is a great investment." —Karen Little

Here's why it's worth it: The five-quart stainless steel bowl has a convenient handle and is big enough to mix dough for nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread in a single batch. The mixer has 59 touchpoints per rotation around the bowl so your stuff gets mixed real good. It tilts to allow clear access to the bowl and attached beater or whatever accessory you're using. Plus, it'll stir wet or dry ingredients, knead bread dough, and even whip up some cream. The mixer includes coated flat beater, coated dough hook, six-wire whip, and a one-piece pouring shield. The flat beater and dough hook are dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "Really wish i'd bought this mixer sooner. I've been wanting one for years. Spent my day yesterday making Christmas cookies and this mixer made it so much easier and faster. I chose the 'caviar' color, which is basically a metallic black. I was so happy with the color. Bowl fits a double batch of your basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Love it! I will be looking for more reasons to use it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I researched a lot of blenders before I decided to buy this one. I needed a blender that was powerful enough to use daily but cheap enough (I'm sure those $200 blenders are amazing, but I honestly don't see the point in spending that amount of money on a blender). This model has a glass vase and the rest is plastic. It looks fine in the kitchen, and doesn't look like you grabbed the cheapest appliance you saw. It has a very useful feature — the top can be used to pour the liquid, so you don't have to use a separate jar! Very convenient." —eli

Promising review: "This juicer is exactly what I wanted and needed. I use it every day to make some fresh vegetable and fruit juice, and I'm having a lot of fun trying different combinations. The product provides a cleaning brush with very stiff bristles, and it is very helpful in removing the pulp from the strainer. It is a bit loud, but that is to be expected with the power this machine has. I have had no problems with any of the parts and I've juiced apples, broccoli, beets (be careful of the juice as it stains very quickly), carrots, cucumbers, chard, oranges (with the peel), limes, strawberries, and pineapple. The only drawback that I've seen is that because the machine is so powerful when I drop some food in the chute while the blades are going, some pieces fly back out. They aren't big pieces, and I honestly don't mind. My only concern is when I'm juicing beets because the juice that comes flying out can stain very easily." —Becca Rose

Promising review: "I've actually had this food processor for about a year and a half now and every time I've used it I've thought, 'Man! I need to write a review of this thing because it is really just unbelievable how fabulous it is!' So, this time I'm actually writing it. And, really, I would be happy with this food processor even if I had paid $200 for it. It just works so well. I have never had better pesto than what I make with this thing. The size is great, too. I put five or six cups of basil in it with no problem. And, although I'm not going to say it is easy to clean, it's not bad. Honest, it's not bad. Most of it can just go in the top of the dishwasher. I did, however, wash it by hand tonight and I was surprised at how easily the pesto came off. Olive oil, you know. So, yes, I LOVE it." —JoeBad

Promising review: "I love these thIngs so much, this is now the third one I've bought. I have one at home, one in the office, and I got one for a coworker. They are simple and easy, and work great. I just buy regular popcorn and put in a little oil and salt. I never burn in the office anymore and it tastes way better than the bags with none of the chemical taste. The silicone is easy to clean, just be careful because they are super hot when you take out of the microwave." —Jumesan

Promising review: "This bad boy really gets the job done! Price is good, and quality, size, and durability are spot-on. We like the way it looks with the rest of the appliances in our kitchen. We're very happy with the features and the way it cooks; my wife likes the fact that she can actually peek and see what's cooking without grease splattering all over the place. ENJOY!!" —Freddie L

Air fryer basket and basket separator are dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "I had planned to buy an air fryer for close to a year. I kept reading reviews, would put one in my cart, then change my mind. I finally decided on this one. All I can say is, 'Oh My Goodness!' I wish I would have bought it a year ago. I don't deep fry anything because not only is it not healthy, I can't stand the lingering smell in my house. All the things I have been making in the oven — fries, fish sticks, onion rings, chimichangas, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, etc. — come out tasting so much better in this air fryer. I used no oil for most things. I would definitely recommend this item. I have been telling all of my friends. Everything comes out crispy!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love, love, love this coffee maker! Usually, I am the only coffee drinker in the house so the ability to make one cup of coffee without having to use expensive pods has been wonderful. It's nice that I can use pods if I choose to, but the one-cup filter works great with my own ground coffee. I can brew directly into a travel cup or I can use a standard coffee mug if I'm going to be drinking my coffee at home. The machine shuts off automatically when one-cup brewing is finished and I never have to worry about whether I remembered to turn it off or not. When I have company I can brew a full pot, a half-pot, whatever quantity I need. It's incredibly easy to switch from one-cup to carafe brewing —there's just one button to slide to the other setting and it's ready to go. There's no need for paper coffee filters so there is less expense and less waste. I've never had any problems with leakage or poor functioning. This coffee maker is a great mash-up of single-brew coffee and carafe coffee. If I had been asked to design the perfect coffee maker, this is what I would have designed." —LauraZ

Promising review: "Great kettle and oh so cheap!!! This kettle is easy to use and very good. I have been using it for about two months and it still works like the first time. Has clear indicators for the amount of water you are filling. Gets boiling hot in about one minute. The automatic off switch is perfect for mornings so you can do other things while the water boils. Make sure you empty all the remaining water out of the kettle and leave the lid open to let all the steam exit to avoid corrosion or anything. Love this little thing." —Darin French
Price: $20.99. Try some relaxing, stress-relieving tea for your new kettle too.
Promising review: "This little gadget is crazy-good! Don’t use spray or oils on its cooking surface. Preheating takes maybe three minutes and when it’s ready, a red light goes off. I used a cup of batter for each waffle and had no overflow. An independent timer can be used (on its handle) but I didn’t need it. I used the watch-the-steam technique. When the steam escaping reduced, I opened the top and there sat a golden brown, perfectly shaped waffle. I used plastic tongs to lift it and that could not have been easier. I am loving this ceramic surface! After making several waffles and letting the unit cool, I wiped it down with a damp cloth and stored it in its locked upright position 'till the next time. This is easier to use than the big ones at hotels." —Lynne

Promising review: "I bought this mixer based on people saying it had a good low speed, and it does. My old mixer's speeds were high, super-high, and bat-out-of-hell. To counter what others have said about the mixer's high speed seeming like medium, we put it to the tachometer test. Yes, the BF has a tachometer, so we hooked it up to the mixers. In the tachometer test, the old mixer's low speed started at 1050 rpm, with the highest speed being 1250 rpm — not a lot of range. This KitchenAid 5-Speed's low speed was a nice mellow 260 rpm; second speed was 450 rpm, then 650, 800, and 1100 rpm respectively. The thing is, even at the high speed, it's very quiet, and doesn't sound like a jet engine about to take off, so I believe it *sounds* like a lower speed, but it's more than enough to whip cream, egg whites, or whatever else you want that high speed for." —badcat

Promising review: "I purchased this after much debate about whether or not I needed a two-quart ice-cream maker or just the original Cuisinart one for $49.95. I am so glad I bought this one. It is so great, easy to use, makes a lot of ice cream, and is so sleek looking. I have a tiny kitchen and every time I turn around I am buying something that will clutter my counter space, but I have to say, this I don't mind." —H. Woolsey

Promising review: "I made rice in this little cooker that turned out great. This morning I poached eggs in the steamer (make a 'cup' out of aluminum foil, spray with nonstick stuff, put an egg in and put that into steamer basket, turn on and keep an eye on it for doneness), and then made steel-cut oats by leaving the lid ajar (put a plastic egg spatula under the rim of the lid, and when the oats and water are mostly just thick and gooey, turn the cooker to warm and let the cooker finish them). This is my first rice cooker and I always wondered why anyone needed to use one, but now I see the light." —Mary

Promising review: "I must admit I thought this seemed gimmicky — UNTIL I tried it. Super easy to use, easy to wipe up, and makes a delicious piping-hot breakfast sandwich every time. So fun to dream up new variations. Come up with your toppings as it heats, let it cook for five minutes, and voila, breakfast is ready! We use it almost every day now. The only con I can think of is that it doesn't fit a full-size bagel. Guess we'll get the mini bagels instead. Crumpets work fine and if you cut the corners off your bread that works great too." —Karen Bramblet

Promising review: "It's only been a couple days since this arrived at my door, but somehow I don't remember what life used to be like without it. I imagine it used to be like something out of a Mad Max movie. This Aroma hot-plate-pot-thing is awesome. I was immediately hooked after a single use. It replaces my oven, my microwave, a second oven I had, an old hot plate that I really didn't use, a third oven, my slow cooker, the neighbors oven, my clothes dryer, my dog, and my grill. My wife said she didn't like it that much, so we are getting a divorce. It works out though, she took everything but my Aroma slow-cooker-heat-pot-thing, and I really think I am better off for it. I now spend my days cooking various meats and vegetables and meat-vegetable combos. To an outside observer, my life may look like it's falling apart, but it really isn't. I have my Aroma hot-cooker-pot-thing and that's all I need." —Joe S.
