Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read previous reviews of this and other toasters that I had considered purchasing. I have always had good experiences with Krups, Kitchen Aid, Braun, and Cuisinart products-- in that order. At home, we really enjoy and have had great experiences and reliability from the first two brands in particular.
Many of today's toasters seem more like small ovens, given the amount of wattage output they can deliver. In the case of the toaster, I chose the Krups 4-slice toaster. (The Kitchen Aid was a bit too long for the small amount of counter space that I have in my apartment's kitchen). Both have very wide slots, seemingly designed for bagels and frozen breakfast treats.
I noted that some reviewers had complained that the Krups does not toast evenly. I have used a number of brand name toasters, and one could say the same for all-- especially those with the wider slots.
What I do like about the Krups is that it does do a great job in positioning and holding bread evenly between the heating elements in each slot, which in turn is helpful in evenly toasted bread. Whether the toasting is even depends, I found, on the freshness and size of the bread; also, you should experiment with the heat settings, to determine which is best for you. Larger loaf sizes will bend slightly to one side or the other in the slots; hence, I do not always obtain even toasting of these bread slices.
I am very satisfied with the results that I obtain from the Krups toaster, and recommend it without reservation.

The Krups 4 slice toaster has 1600 watts of power and two independent sets of controls. Each chamber is designed to quickly brown the surface of the bread and retain the soft texture within. The integrated warming tray is easy to clean, removable and dishwasher safe. It quickly warms breads, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods without drying them out. The 8- setting browning selector accommodates all toasting preferences accurately and consistently at all levels. The 3- position metal control lever turns right to toast and left to raise the bread for easy one- handed removal.Bagel function toasts bagels from the cut side while warming the crust while the defrost function warms frozen bread through then toasts. The stop eject button halts the toasting cycle at the touch of a button. Comes with 1-year warranty.

Team SM-17947 1500-Watt 4-Slice Sandwich Maker, Stainless Steel and Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an easy to use basic 'stuffed sandwich' or 'pocket sandwich' maker. It uses regular sized store bought bread (think Wonder Bread size) and you can use whole wheat or even use home made bread if you bake it in that size. The inside style is the exact same as the the Cuisinart Sandwich Grill except that this "Team Sandwich Maker" makes double the amount of sandwiches, so you get four sandwiches, which can be cut down the seam in the middle to make 8 pocket sandwiches. This is the same basic design of sandwich maker that has been around for years. This takes 8 slices of bread at a time.
This works great for lunch with the kids -- they can personalize their own sandwich fillings and all the sandwiches cook at once. They take about 5-8 minutes to cook depending on the fillings and how done you like them. Some the kids favorite sandwiches are peanut butter, jelly, and banana (just a few very thinly sliced rounds), pizza -- mozzarella cheese and favorite pizza toppings, served with pizza sauce on the side for dipping after the sandwiches are baked. I like a swiss cheese and veggie melt. If you do an internet search for 'sandwich maker recipes' you will find a bunch of ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dessert recipes to make in this. You do have to be careful not to overstuff the sandwiches or you might have trouble closing the sandwich maker and fully cooking them.
This is a big sandwich maker and does not stand up vertically to store, which would have been nice. It looks like it might have been supposed to stand up, but it is not sturdy enough to unless it is up against a wall. There is also no cord wrap around but really those are just little cosmetic storage problems that do not affect the sandwich making ability of this item.
I would buy this again for sure because it works as expected and it is tough to find one of these sandwich 'stuffers' that makes four full sandwiches instead of the usual two.

Make 8 sandwich pockets with this easy-to-use countertop appliance--great for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. Simply layer ham and cheese or a vegetable medley between four slices of bread, set on the grill, and close and lock the lid. Sandwiches come out perfectly browned and sealed, with a diagonal indentation making them easy to slice in half. The grill can also be used for making waffles and omelets. The 1500-watt unit heats up quickly and features nonstick plates that ensure effortless food release and simple cleanup. Other highlights include power and preheat lights, safety pilot lights, a cool-touch handle, and a convenient cord wrap, as well as a stand-up design for space-saving storage when not in use. Housed in durable plastic with a decorative stainless-steel plate, the four-slice sandwich maker measures 12-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 6-1/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Sharp R-55TS Warm & Toasty Toaster/Microwave Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the aesthetics department this item is top notch for anyone going for a stainless steel look in their kitchen. Brushed steel on front, with a black glass window - black metal on sides. Surprisingly, this is more important that I would have thought.
It microwaves well, though at 650W. The controls are convienent, and fast - with a single "one minute" button to save time on reheats. Seems to cook very evenly.
A nice function is the ability to turn the sound off completely - ridding your home of one source of beeps and chirps.
The oven works well for cooking. The toaster works surprisingly well, but it takes close to 3 minutes for a slice of bread. In the toast department, I'd recommend a stand-alone drop-in style toaster.
You can combine cooking and microwaving in steps (thaw then cook, not both at once).

Krups FEM2B 2-Slice Toaster, Black & Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having gone through several toasters that looked sleek, but couldn't toast worth a darn -- let alone set off the smoke alarm -- I turned to Consumer Products for guidance (11/04). We picked their number 2 because it looked functional without too many needless gimmicks, whereas the brand name of #1 reminded us too much of the toaster that burnt the bread and toasted its electronics. Also, rather than spending over ten bucks on a "Small Applicance Contract", we tossed in three more bucks to get the number-four-rated toaster as a backup should the Krups ever fail. The toaster yields a nice evenly browned slice of bread or toaster waffle without beeping, dancing or burning up the kitchen. Sorry to learn that others encountered uneven browning -- we are delighted with the Krups, and it looks good too.

DeLonghi 35760 Non-Stick Dough Hook for Stand Mixer Model DSM5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazon has listed this item as working with both the DSM5 and DSM7 models. I own a DSM7, 7-quart, and this is far too small to be workable.
If you have a DSM7 avoid this product.
If you have a DSM5, 5-quart, this probably works just fine.
