Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2.3 Quart Electric Thermal Hot Pot Review

Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2.3 Quart Electric Thermal Hot Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My relatives have an equivalent Zojirushi model. The only difference is this one only has a 6 hour delay whereas the Zojirushi has a longer delay setting. It actually seems like the Panasonic insulates and holds the heat in better than the Zojirushi as it doesn't seem to reheat as often. I'm sure it would save a few pennies in power costs if I could delay it a little longer while I'm away at work all day but it isn't worth almost double the price to get that. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I actually like and prefer the nonstick interior and unless you've got hard water, you don't have to clean it as often as they suggest. It's over a month for mine being used every day and it doesn't look any different than when I bought it. I figure I'll clean it with lemon juice every other month.
Note that you don't have to buy the special cleaning solution. Make your own citric acid with a half cup of lemon juice concentrate mixed in with the water and then run it through the cleaning cycle. If you use fresh lemons make sure you get the pulp out.

Perfect for serving tea to a crowd, this electric thermo pot boils and safely dispenses up to 2-2/7 quarts of hot water through a front-access spout with a simple touch of a button. The unit automatically boils water then switches to a keep-warm setting; it can also be set to start boiling up to six hours later thanks to its energy-saving timer. For tap water high in chlorination, the pot offers a dechlorination mode, which boils the water longer to reduce the taste and amount of chlorine for better tasting beverages. For safety, a magnetic power cord disconnects if necessary to help prevent the unit from tipping over, while a locking lid keeps boiling water from spilling if the pot accidentally does get knocked over. Other thoughtful details include four variable keep-warm settings, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, a low-water warning, and a removable lid, as well as a non-stick coated interior, a cool-touch exterior, and a plastic carrying handle. An instruction manual in English, French, and Chinese comes included. The thermo pot measures approximately 8-1/2 by 9-2/5 by 11-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Tribest SoloStar II Multi-Purpose Juicer for Wheatgrass and more Review

Tribest SoloStar II Multi-Purpose Juicer for Wheatgrass and more

Drawbacks
My SoloStar II has been plagued by problems. In less than a year, many of the outer parts have broken. The juicing screen ($35.00) has broken three times. When the juicing screens break, it happens before the pulp container is even full. As a result, the auger and juicing screen need to be cleaned constantly within a session. The screen locking cap ($5.80) has also broken. Speaking of the auger, even that cracked ($35.00). Several times, I e-mailed customer service about such issues with no reply. When I called, Tribest Life promptly sent out free replacement parts.
Benefits
When the parts aren't breaking, the SoloStar II works very well. It's simple to assembly and operate. The actual extraction process seems efficient. Cleaning is a breeze since most of the parts rinse under the sink. The only cleaning challenge is the juicing screen. Along these lines, the modified toothbrush that comes with the unit is worthless. I now use a steel auto detailing brush that does a great job. The SoloStar II is visually pleasing and the unit operates at a good volume. I was inspired to purchase the juicer after watching the online video as hosted on the Tribest Life web page. It accompanies the juicer in VHS format. Being a first time juicer, this was extremely helpful.
In conclusion, there are benefits and drawbacks to the SoloStar II. While it may have been a good introduction to the juicing world, I definitely look forward to an upgrade. Talking to juicers (people who juice, not the machines;), it seems that you really need to spend around $350.00-$400.00 before getting a quality juicer. Should you decide to purchase the SoloStar II, make certain that you send in the warranty/registration card. That was essential in getting parts replaced at no charge.

The Geo Square Cutting Board has an attractive geometric design and, since it is Totally Bamboo, it's super strong, lightweight, and eco-friendly. Made of Bamboo; this board is 16-percent harder than maple, yet easy on your knives, it's naturally anti-microbial and it's eco friendly; it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. Totally Bamboo uses organically grown Moso bamboo, so you need not worry about harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Plus, this bamboo is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda. Totally good for you and totally good for the environment. Hand wash board and occasionally use Totally Bamboo's Revitalizing Oil to extend the life of the board and keep it looking beautiful. Board measures 12 by 12 by 1-inch and features an outer groove that collects run off liquids and debris.

Corelle Coordinates Happy Days 19-Ounce Acrylic Square Glasses, Set of 6 Review

Corelle Coordinates Happy Days 19-Ounce Acrylic Square Glasses, Set of 6

I think the 19 ounce size is a bit large for my everyday use. I also bought the 14 ounce and like that size better. These are so tall and while they stack it is hard to stack for easy storage as they are so tall I can't fit more than 2 high. Otherwise love the design and whimsy but think a 12-16 oz glass is a better fit for my daily use.
