Definitely a NO FRILLS item but for $15 DOD it's been a handy edition. Super for heating pizza leftovers, baking 2-3 frozen biscuits at a time or toasting bagels or garlic bread. Beats using the stove oven for small items in warmer weather. Takes a little longer but even does frozen entrees in a pinch. Not even hard to clean if you have foil under anything that might spill over.

Featuring a slower first speed to minimize splatter, this Hamilton Beach 62692 6-speed hand mixer delivers 275 watts of peak power for efficiency. The QuickBurst button provides a pulse of extra power to help quicken the mixing process.

I was expecting this to be more streamline and capable of hanging up but what I thought was a holder is simply storage for beaters and takes up unnecessary space. Disappointed with lower speeds as they fling ingredients out of the bowl so better to use an oversized bowl than deal with cleanup!

Short lived :(

Bought this to have Netflix in the spare room but after only a few uses this unit started to crash frequently! Of course the 30 day period was already up before it got used for more than set-up. Watch for 15-20 minutes and then you get a black screen. Let it cool down and same scenario. It's a shame because it came loaded with apps and options better than most players if it would just work!

Enjoy a warm and crispy breakfast at home with this Bella Belgian waffle maker. The Healthy-Eco ceramic coating on the plates prevents food from sticking and burning, and the reinforced titanium design resists scratching and ensures lasting use. This 1000W Bella Belgian waffle maker rotates on its stand for even cooking.

Decent for Price

Saw this on DOD right before my grands were scheduled to visit and they all love waffles. Does a decent job however it's a little slow for multiple people. Design is flimsy but for the price it can sit in the cupboard stored for months and come out whenever you need one without feeling guilty about the price.

I like it

I like the pan, excellent for burgers draining the fat away from the meat while cooking. Cleans up fairly easy after soaking a bit. I would give it 5 stars if it were an inch deeper and came with spatter screen or lid. Makes a mess of the stove top.

Prepare meat quickly with this 6-quart Bella pressure cooker. Powerful pressure levels create faster heating than conventional cooking. A safety locking lid, cool-to-the-touch handles and a steam release valve help prevent accidents in the kitchen. Use the 10 one-touch functions on this Bella pressure cooker to evenly cook delicious meals.

Nice for outdoor cooking

I like it because I can put it out on my patio table on hot days rather than heating up my kitchen. Although it requires longer cooking times than conventional stove-top pressure cookers it gets the job done.

Like my ancient one much better

Posted by: technogranny
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an old slicer from 40 years ago and it recently started making loud noises and the motor seems to be slowing down but I prefer it over this slicer mainly because it all breaks down with exception of the motor for thorough cleaning. This slicer to me is unsanitary because only the blade and hand guard are removable to put in hot soapy water wash. Simply wiping down with a damp cloth especially after meat is like smearing the bacteria around. Adjustments for thickness are too limited. Its redeeming quality is price as $30 is reasonable for a slicer.

Good Sequel

I wasn't too sure after watching 50 Shades of Grey but as it turns out the sequel is the better of the 2 movies. A bit of suspense in the end piques interest for the 3rd installment. Looking forward to it.

They function

I got tired of paying $4.50 for 2 batteries and these were a bargain at $.50 each by comparison. No they don't last quite as long as Durecell but they are a fraction of the price and work just as well. I split a box with a friend and we've both been happy with them so far.

I purchased this 2 months ago and just like my Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-Ray player it as hung up and will not get past the welcome screen. How do I get this repaired or returned?

Good luck with this.....only a 30 day return window. Similar issues with mine except I only got a black screen or it would freeze and you'd have to unplug for hours to reboot. Unfortunately mine was past the 30 days before it even got used.

will it do faxing?

No scan and no fax. Prints photos with photo black cartridge, envelopes and everyday printouts as well as printable disks. It's small and definitely not very sturdy but has a dedicated 4X6" photo tray

Will this printer work with Windows 10? Any problems?

I am using it with windows 10 64bit and it's had a few hangups but overall it hasn't been bad. You will need to update the driver during the install process but as far as wireless this was my easiest set up so far

Each phone unit has a built in speaker at the push of a button. Hope this helps :)
