Discount Danby DAR1102WE 11-Cu.Ft. Designer Mid-Size All Refrigerator, White

Customer Ratings:

The Danby is great and it almost the only frig on the planet this size.

We wanted to replace an old frig-freezer in our bar with a frig only (no freezer). The built-in space was just barely enough for the old machine and we wanted something a little smaller. Turns out that every other frig only in our town was either just as big as the old combo or sized for a college dorm room. Amazon's price was within a few dollars of all the other sellers on the net and I trusted them with good reason.

After converting to a vegan diet, we found that our built-in refrigerator (several thousand dollars purchase price) did not have the right storage capacity for fresh vegetables and other foods that have now become a part of our eating plan. So, we decided to add a secondary refrigerator. After checking out several local stores for a "refrigerator only" appliance, we turned to the internet and found the Danby. We ordered it, received email communication regarding delivery, had it delivered, and set it up ourselves. It works great, holds a lot, and is small enough that we could put it in the corner of our dining room. It is quite, unobtrusive, and has great interior space. The literature we received with the Danby shows a freezer that is the same size as the refrigerator. Side by side, they would offer a great alternative to the traditional refrigerator/freezer. Hope this review is helpful.

Overall, this product does the job: it is compact, with full glass shelves, great for extra refrigerator space, which is how we and others seem to use it. It doesn't cool as effectively as we would like; we see a big swing in temperatures with no change in contents. Most of the time the temperature is at the very top end of the desired refrigerator cooling range.

We bought this about 4 months ago and have not had a single problem with it. Not too big and not too small. The door compartments are nice for holding milk, the draws are nice and roomy and the shelves can hold more than you might expect.

We have a garden and will be storage garden vegetables in here. We were looking for a second frig with a small footprint because it needed to go into the corner of our mud room area between the dining room and the garage. There aren't many on the market this size. I only found one other made by Summit and it was $250.00 more. The unit fit perfectly where I wanted it to go. What a great space saver. Inside has more than enough storage and compartments. The design is typical. I can keep 24 quart bottles of my favorite sparkling beverage on the top shelf and my wife puts all the redundant items like half and half, jarred veggies, and all those items you would like to not keep in the main frig that take up all that space. I won't know for sure on the performance of this until the warmer weather gets here. We didn't get it until the beginning of December. So far it has been fine.

I had been researching dehydrators for months and finally decided on this one. I am happy I did. I have dried veggies, fruits, made jerky and fruit leathers so far. It is easy to use, has great recipes and works well. It is nice to be able to give the kids snacks that are not full of sugars and things no one can pronounce. I only wish it had a timer. I will probably use a regular timer and plug it into that.

Pros: *fan not in bottom of unit allows for more uniform drying

*temperature control

*size fits nicely on a kitchen counter

*availability of accessories

*ease of use

Cons: *no timer

*no on/off switch you have to unplug the unit to turn it off

I was so surprised at how well this dehydrator works

expected it to work okay but not this good!

I put 5 pounds of beef to dry, expecting it to take at least a day.

5 hours later and it was done!

This was thicker sliced than the paper thin I usually do

on top of that!

I love that the heater and fan are on the top

that makes clean up after jerky

a breeze.

My sister just bought one too and is very happy she did.

We both contemplated on buying the Excalibur one but

this by far is a better deal for your money.

I have had it a week now and have used it almost every day.

With the excellent quality of this dehydrator I expect to get

many , many years of use out of it

Update...

over a year later and we found that we needed more than one dehydrator, so we purchased another one of these with extra trays, screens.

we were hooked on dehydrating...so easy and no food spoilage!

We found ourselves needing even another dehydrator to keep up with all the

fresh produce and meats that we would purchase in bulk to save money.

This time we bought an Excalibur 9 tray with timer.

I have to say, we should of just bought another Nesco American Harvest

FD-75PR. The Nesco dehydrated the corn faster than the high priced Excalibur and I found I did need to rotate the trays in the Excalibur,

because the foods on the back of the trays dried faster than the foods on the front of the trays.

So ...if we need another dehydrator down the road we're sticking with

Nesco American Harvest FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator and putting the extra cash we save in the bank!

9/21/2012 update...Over 5 years later and still going strong. Have used it for everything from dehydrating fruits and veggies,various types of jerky, raw foods recipes , roll ups and dehydrating meals for camping. Still Very happy with this dehydrator.

Very impressed with this unit. Don't waste your money on a lower cost dehydrator that lacks a fan or variable temperature. I have made about 6 batches of jerky and each has turned out great.

Pros:

Can expand the number of trays

Temperature selection

Fan to circulate air

Cons:

No timer this is a serious bummer

Trays aren't totally dishwasher safe heat will warp the plastic.

A correction I once owned the FD-50 version of this dehydrator. It sadly got washed away in a flood.

For all of you who want a timer: Go to the hardware store and buy an outlet timer. This is what I did with the FD50 and it worked great.

OK, this is my first dehydrator so I can't compare this to other units but so far I'm truly impressed! I made my first batch of beef jerky in about four hours and it was delicious! I also made some chicken jerky for my boxer (one of the main reasons I got this unit) and it works great for that as well. I can't wait to try some new stuff!

I've seen a few comments concerned about power consumption so I figured I'd post my findings. This is a 700 Watt unit but remember that appliances controlled by thermostat don't run at peak power the whole time. I tested mine for 4 hours at 160 degrees and it used 1.68 kWh or an average consumption of 420 Watts per hour. Current cost of power where I live is around 10 cents per kWh so this unit costs me a little over 4 cents per hour. If I run it 10 hours a week, I'm looking at around $1.82 per month. I saved more than that making my first 1 lb of jerky!

As others have said, clean-up is a piece of cake especially with the clean-a-screens I recommend going ahead and getting enough of these to cover each tray. I didn't have to do any rotation and the jerky was done evenly throughout. The fan is quiet like white noise and the unit puts off a little heat but only right around where it is sitting (where else is the air passing around the food at 160F going to go?).

I guess a timer would be nice but I can pick up a timer at the hardware store. It even helps dog-sit as my boy wouldn't leave the kitchen the whole time it was going...

January 2011 I've now had this dehydrator 2 1/2 years and it is still going strong. I really don't use the clean-a-screens anymore, I just use the dishwasher to clean the tray's and bottom you just have to make sure you select "air dry" so the trays don't get damaged. I'm up to 9 trays and for me that's as many as I'll probably ever need. It is nice to know I could add 3 more if I needed to and I have no doubt it would work perfectly with 12 racks. This thing has paid for itself many times over and continues to produce great tasting treats!

Update: June 2013 Just a quick update to say 5 years in and this thing is still doing great. I wish all of my appliances were this reliable!

Review of Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700

Customer Ratings:

Last summer I bought five Air King window fans and one 20" box fan for my family's summer cottage in NE PA. I gave a five-star review to the window fans last year, but I neglected to review this excellent box fan. It's built well, has full air flow, a thermostatically controlled cooling knob and three speeds, sits still and does not rattle. I know it costs three times as much as other box fans, but if you've ever tried to nap with a twitching rattling rouring low power fan in the background, you will be happy to pay the extra price. With temps in the mid-90's in early June, I will be ordering one or two more.

With local energy prices scheduled to soar this summer, I bought this fan hoping to be able to reduce the thermostat setting and still be comfortable. The two main criteria for me, since the unit was going to sit in my living room, were that it must be quiet, and it must be efficient. The fan has lived up to all expectations. Many fan makers do not publish their noise levels, but Air King did, and I have found the specs to be accurate. The lowest setting is quieter than my PS2 or XBOX. The 20" blades move plenty of air, even on Low. High is like sitting in a tropical storm, really needed only for quick cooling after a long period of yard work.

I like this fan, I find the quality to be just fine, and I would buy another in a heartbeat if I needed one.

Best Deals on Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700

The first problem I noticed with my new King 9700 20" Deluxe Box Fan was the three places on top of the fan where the paint must have been chipped and then repaired with a brush. The repair was done very poorly. This obviously happened at the factory since the paint was touched up with the same color paint.

When I turned the fan on for the first time, I heard a loud vibration noise and I noticed the fan motor seemed to be out of balance. After some investigation, I removed the back grill and noticed that one of the bolts that mount the motor to the fan's frame was jammed into the windings area of the motor instead of into the mounting hole. After fixing that, I noticed the other three mounting bolts were not tightened.

The fan is much quieter now (the vibration noise is gone), but I still think it is very noisy, even on the low and medium speed settings.

I thought that by paying more for a fan I would get better quality and less noise. I was wrong. I would have been better off buying a $19 fan.

the fan arrived on time and in good shape. it worked great right out of the box. i bought this fan to replace a standard 20" box fan of the type that cost around $20.

i paid $55.37 delivered . it feels twice as heavy as my old fan. the metal case is bigger and stronger , and the motor is a lot bigger. the plastic grills are about the same. the fans speeds work , but all 3 a fairly similar. the thermostat works at the temperature i used about 70. i'm using it as an exhaust fan and it moves a lot more air. it is noisy and might be annoying if you used it in same room . so far i think it was worth the money , but it will have to last 2 or more years. i'll try to remember to do an update. i think it could pay for itself by the end of summer by cutting down on ac bills.

Review of Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control

Customer Ratings:

This is absolutely the best heater available. It is essentially the same as the Bionaire BH3900 (see reviews there), but this one has a wireless remote control that allows you to set it at a certain temperature, and it will maintain that temperature consistently. Just like the reviews said about the BH3900, this unit is almost silent, except for a soft "click" when it toggles on/off, as well as a slight crackling sound, which is produced as the elements expand and contract. It is very safe, as the heat comes up from the top, not the side, so the side will at most feel warm, not dangerously hot. The remote makes this heater from good to GREAT, because you can set the heater to the exact temperature that you want. No more guessing and playing with unlabeled dials. Also, you can set the remote to the other side of the room and it will only turn off after the entire room is warmed to that temperature. Then, when the temperature drops by one degree, it will kick on again to heat things up. We have a two year old in the house, so we keep this unit in his room. We can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that regardless of how cold it is outside, we know EXACTLY what the temperature will be in his room.

There is one potential problem with this unit. If you press the "mode" button too fast on the remote, it will become out of sync with the heater. For example, if you want to set it to auto-low, you would have to press the mode button three times (low->high->autolow->autohigh). If you press the button too fast, then instead of autolow, the heater will think you want it to be on high instead. The remote will still show "auto low", but the heater will be set on high. This is bad, because if you leave this thing on high all night long, the room can get close to 100 degrees! There is a very simple solution to this, however. After you press the mode button on the remote, simply check the lights on the control panel of the heater to see if it is on the right mode. I always give it a quick glance after I set it on the remote, so it is always right and it always works perfectly.

One very strange thing about this unit is that it is generally not available anywhere. The BH3900 is available at a few places, but the more advanced BH3930 is not. It is not even available from the manufacturer at the time of this writing. So if you find one, new or used, buy it!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, provided the remote does not break. Without the remote you can set the heater to LOW or HIGH and in either case the room becomes a sauna! I have three of these heaters in my house, one for each bedroom, and with the remote they are really AMAZING (read the other reviews, they are 100% accurate). But I have broken one remote (the mode button is stuck) and misplaced another remote, and BIONAIRE does not have any additional remotes for sale. In fact they suggested that I return the heaters (even though I bought them 3 years ago at Sharper Image) and they would replace them with new BIONAIRE BH 3900, which are the same heathers but with no remote. So I think that Bionaire kileld this product because without the Galileo remote the heater is useless. That said I would pay just about any price to have two remotes, or for Bionaire to introduce a new units with BOTH a remote and an on board thermostat.

We are using this heater for three years and it still works great. There is really only one way to make a heater to keep an accurate room temperature to have a remote thermostat. It's so surprising that other manufacturers don't get it, so far I've only seen Bonaire heaters with remote wireless thermostat. We use it in our daughter's bedroom and for three years the heater kept the room temperature between 68 and 69 degrees at night. We also have a LaCrosse wireless temperature sensor installed in the same room and the temperature never fluctuated more then 2 degrees from the Bonaire setting. I think it's the best portable heater on the market.

Cheap TSM Products Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator with 10 Stainless

Customer Ratings:

In my opinion, this is the best dehydrator on the market. I have one of the largest raw food websites on the internet, and two published books on raw food recipes. I am constantly using my D10 dehydrator as I have found that nothing on the market even comes close to how well this dehydrator works. And to top it off, it is made from stainless steel, not plastic, and it is quiet! I have never had a failure with this dehydrator and find it easy to dial in the temps to dehydrate with. The addition of the mesh screens and the non-stick sheets make it perfect for everything that I dehydrate.

I have friends who have companies that produce products and the TSM is the only dehydrator they will use. It is the one that I always recommend.

We decided to get the 10 tray dehydrator because we're drying large lots of fruits and vegetables -enough for 2-3 weeks at a time.

This dehydrator worked better than expected right out of the box. Our first batch of dried fruit was wonderful. Much better than store bought. Be sure to get a thermometer to track the temperature if you don't already have one.

The stainless steel is great: We clean the shelves easily in the dishwasher, and I don't have to worry about plastic leaching chemicals on our food.

Well worth the cost.

As a small sideline of my smoked salmon business, I've been making smoked salmon jerky & Indian candy for many years, now, using a locally built dehydrator. I wanted to shift to an all stainless steel version, and, after lots of research and indecision, settled on the 10 tray TSM dehydrator. It's a gem. It's shortened the time to jerky stage by several hours and requires much less tray turning than my previous dehydrator and a real bonus is a snap to clean up. It's also fairly quiet certainly much quieter than my previous dehydrator.

Now it's two years later (August 2013), and I still think it's a gem. However, it wouldn't start early this year. The seller recommended replacing all of the circuitry, but I had done a continuity check with my electrical metre (I'm Canadian we spell this word in the French fashion). As a result, I knew that the problem was the on-off switch, which wasn't available from the seller. So I went to Amazon to find a replacement I found the same switch (Amico red light boat rocker switch) for less than $4 (compared to the about $200 to replace the complete circuitry). When I spoke, again, to the tech at the selling company, he was surprised but I'm not. This switch is not particularly robust (I bought two, so that the next time I won't have any down time). Still, despite this, my experience with this dehydrator would lead me to buying it again. For the price, it's a fantastic bargain.

The heater is smaller than expected; it's barely a foot tall, but it does the job admirably. It has two heat settings and when the room is warm, I turn the heater off and the room stays toasty for hours.

It also has a fan setting that I will try out in warmer weather.

I've updated my review after 6 mos of use: I've found the Homemedics PS-200 "Perfect Steam" has been fine for all types of clothing. This is the smallest, value-priced model, so I wouldn't expect it have enough steam for thick upholstery or to press creases and folds. It's upright. Commercial steamers don't do this either without a flat surface. They're for removing wrinklesnot pressing clothes.

I bought it to use instead of a steam iron and for the same price, it's faster and easier. It has worked for denim jeans, suits, blankets, wrinkled khakis and dress shirts. Read the manual for tipsit helps to have the pole all the way up. When the hose starts to gurgle, water is condensing in the hose. Just hold the hose straight up and let the water drip back into the tank. The manual says this is normal and the condensation does not affect the steam. I find it's ready in 15 seconds! Also, steam runs consistently when the clothing is hung higher than the polemeaning I have to hang clothing from the top of a door frame or shower rod. The hose is long enough to reach but I wish the pole could have been made to extend a foot taller. I'm sure the reason it's not longer is that it would have made the unit too unstable (tip over more easily with added height) it's a very lightweight unit with a small base. It's small enough to fit inside my tiny closet. Distilled water is a must in Colorado. The water does need to be emptied out after each use or else mildew/mold will form. You may have to lift and tip the unit over a sink and shake the hose to completely empty. I was expecting much less for the price and was pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn't rate it as a "commercial" use steamer... Especially with the reports of the hose breaking off if you're not gentle in handling it. It's too light a model. The light weight and small size is convenient for home and the reason the pole can't be extended higher (requiring you to hang your garment up separately from the pole), but it's not sturdy enough for industrial/commercial needs.

I had the same problem with the steam petering out. What is happening is that there is buildup of minerals in the pipes and it eventually clogs. The way to fix this is to take off the hose and the reservoir and put vinegar in where the hose was and where the reservoir was. Let it sit. Then take a turkey baster bulb and put it over the opening for the hose and flush. AFter a little work it will finally free up and you are good for another 8 mos. If you used distilled water it wouldn't do this but that is ridiculous.

As for the how breaking....mine did that after about 2 years. The plastic simply fatigues. I called homedics and they said they will send me out a new one free immediately.

The above sounds like a hassle... but this steamer beats the pants off the Conair and the Shark and..it sounds like it beats the rowenta.

The only thing I don't like is that the pole could be longer.

My sister and I each received one of these steamers as a gift for Christmas, 2003. In a now familiar chorus, after nearly a year of use, hers started tripping the reset button every time she used it, and just today, the hose snapped off of mine, just like reviewer G. Williams.

I loved this little steamer, and probably used it an average of 4 days out of the week. I never had a problem with the performance until now...and the broken hose is a big one! How ironic that just today, I was bragging to someone about what a good little machine it was. Famous last words.

update: 5/05...i went on the homedics website to send an email about the hose. there was no product category for the steamer, so i just picked one of the other products and wrote about the steamer anyway, asking how to buy a new hose. after about 3 weeks, i got a reply from their CS who said they would just send me a new hose...free! it came about 3 weeks later...during which time they had gotten mixed up and sent me an additional brush, and even called my home and left a message about the mix-up and apologised profusely. I was really pleased with the way this was handled.

So, now my steamer is back in business, and I am once more wrinkle free...at least from the neck down.

Honest reviews on Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer

The garment steamer was easy to assemble and begin using. The user manual is adequate -we'd recommend special attention to the need to hold the hose up high frequently to drain any condensation back to the reservoir -to avoid sputtering on the garment. Because it does exactly what we expected it to do, we rate it at 5 stars -a very nice applicance for a reasonable price.

I read an article about steamers, and decided to try this one because it has all the features suggested for a good steamer, and at about 1/4 the price of commercial grade ones. It does a nice job, so far, I have to say i am very pleased. I think if you take care of it, by emptying out the water container and small amount of water left in the bottom of the machine between uses, as the instructions suggest, this little steamer should be fine for household use. I like to freshen things up between dry cleanings and it really does the trick and saves lots of time.
