Napa Glass Cold Beverage Dispenser with Grape Design Review

Napa Glass Cold Beverage Dispenser with Grape Design
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ITEM. JAF misrepresents it's cost. There are 3 different prices listed on site $131.25 is list. $54.59 is regular and $45.49 as sale. Thinking I was purchasing an item worth $130.00 for less than half the list price. The item arrives with a manufacture price tag for $50.00. Item arrives in a box from Gottschalks a store that is going out of business. JAF states I got a great deal. I know different. Item not worth any of the prices. Spiggot very poorly inserted. Actually cracked when I tried to turn the knob. A product defect. I have no doubt it would have leaked or fallen off after the first use. I was told by a JAF employee that I could return the item and they would not charge me a restock fee. Like they were doing me a favor. I asked to be reimbursed for the return shipping or send me a pre-paid shipping label and was told that was not their policy.
When I took the item to the UPS store I was quoted a price of $25 to $42 to return to JAF. JAF's shipping and handling cost would be $8.71 the cost it took to ship to me. I passed this on to JAF and was told they are very sorry it will cost so much but their policy is still the same. I would have to return the defective and worthless dispenser at my own cost. Basically paying for it a 2nd time. Not acceptable to me.
I called Amazon and they took care of the problem very quickly. Refunded my entire purchase price including shipping and handling. If JAF wants their item back they will have to send me a pre-paid return shipping label. Which is what I asked for to begin with. How quickly and easy this whole mess could have been resolved. BUYER BEWARE!!

I bought this for a few gatherings I was having at holiday time and I was so pleased with it. It is really beautiful and looks so nice. I filled mine with punch and then put various berries in it for added flavor. It looked and tasted really good. Also, the spigot works well and there was no leakage at all.

60 oz. All-Purpose Pitcher with Lid Review

This is a nice pitcher. However, the lip on the lid is shallow and you cannot turn to close off the spout hole. Sothe spout hole is always open and circulating air in fridge has access. However, the lid goes down far enough to strain out ice cubes.
Still, nice polycarbonate pitcher for the price

Creative Ware Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser with Removable Ice Core (3 Gallons) Review

Creative Ware Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser with Removable Ice Core (3 Gallons)

I loved the concept of this dispenser, but it leaked throughout the party the first time I used it. It was very embarrassing! We emptied it and tried to tighten the spigot, but it continued to drip.
We finally tightened the crown nut gently using pliers even though the directions said to hand-tighten it. It seems to be working now, but the spigot is plastic and the quality is questionable. I think it will work for our next party, but I don't like not being confident in its performance when we have company over.
The idea of this dispenser was perfect for the party and the ice core worked great! It kept the sweet tea cold throughout the party without watering it down. It was easy to clean, easy to use and easy to put together.

Nostalgia LJS-402 Old-Fashioned Lemonade Juice Stand Review

Nostalgia LJS-402 Old-Fashioned Lemonade Juice Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Nostalgia Electrics Old Fashioned Lemonade Cart was on my wish list this past Christmas, and I feel fortunate to have received it. Not detracted by the fact that it looks like a toy, I had a serious intention in mind for it: To put the hundreds of lemons that would otherwise begin to rot in my yard to good use. Happily, this product delivered more than I had hoped for. It eliminates the step of either whipping the water and sugar together to the point where your arm wants to drop off, or heating the water to dissolve the sugar faster (and then having to compensate for the heated water by adding extra ice, risking an overly diluted lemonade in the process). This citrus juicer solves this problem by continuously stirring the contents of the 8-cup capacity acrylic pitcher the entire time the extraction motor is active (and yes, you read that right: It can hold a full 8-cups, not the meager four cups implied by the 1-quart designation in the description).
Not only do the plastic paddles combine the juice and the sugar effectively, but to that you may add crushed ice. This all but eliminates the need for refrigeration prior to serving. I wasn't loving the short spout, the constant dribbles and the hassle of finding just the right catch basin while juicing with my Cuisinart Citrus Pro Juicer. This product, by contrast, all but eliminates the usual citrus juicing inconveniences. That means it will stay out on the countertop and get regular use, which is more than I can say about the Cuisinart, or even the Jack Lelanne juicer I also own.
The LJS-402, the model designation for this product, offers a relatively quiet 25-watt reversible motor (rotates clockwise/counterclockwise). The four-legged lemonade stand design prevents the unit from rocking and walking the countertop the way my Cuisinart Citrus Pro Juicer does. It also offers a sliding switch that makes it possible to increase or decrease the amount of pulp in the juice to suit one's preference. And unlike many citrus juicers on the market, the container in which it collects the juice also doubles as a pitcher that can go from stand to refrigerator because it can be removed from the base on which it sits. So to recap, there's no need to come up with a receptacle into which the juice flows, it dispenses easily from the attached spout, and it is possible to stow the leftovers in the refrigerator without fishing a pitcher out of the cupboard. Nifty.
Bottom line? This product may look like a toy and sadly may also feel like a toy. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly convenient, and a timesaver compared to competing products. Moreover, there are fewer items left over to clean up because the process is self contained from start to finish. This is an ingenious design, a great kitchen conversation piece ---- you can't help but smile at a product that looks like this one does ---- and one that I ultimately hope Nostalgia Electrics will market more aggressively. As of this writing, you won't find this product in your local Bed, Bath & Beyond, nor at Walmart or at Macys. That's a real shame. Nostalgia/Helman Group has come up with their share of duds, including the donut maker that bombed this past holiday season (judging from the almost unanimously negative reviews elsewhere on Amazon). By contrast, this compact, space-saving citrus juicer is not the gimmick it may first appear. I personally like this juicer so well that I am seriously thinking about buying a second one to stash away before it is discontinued -- and I never buy two identical copies of any product so that's saying something! Kudos to Amazon for stocking it.

Make refreshing and delicious lemonade, limeade, and more with this unique appliance. The old-fashioned lemonade stand juices fresh citrus fruits whole while simultaneously mixing ice and other ingredients. An "on/off" switch activates the juicer and stirring mechanism, and its dispensing spout with a simple on/off valve ensures graceful, drip-free serving. In addition, the unit's two-wheel-cart design features a see-through tank, four legs for stability, and a yellow side panel with the words "Lemonade 5 Cents" in a handwritten style. Great for birthday parties, barbeques, carnivals, or fundraisers, the 25-watt lemonade juice stand measures 9-2/5 by 6-2/3 by 15-2/7 inches and carries a 90-day warranty.

Creativeware 3-Gallon Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser Review

Creativeware 3-Gallon Unbreakable Beverage Dispenser

Purchased 4 and used them for an event for about 125 people. Used them outside on a very warm day. No leaks - worked great. I anticipated that the ice in the bottom bowl would not keeps the drinks cool enough to suit me - so I inserted tall vases in the container and filled this with ice and lemons. Filled with lemonade and tea just below the rim of the vase. Between the ice in the bottom and the ice inserted in the vases - the drinks were plenty cool throughout several hours. (and also were not watered down by indirectly introducing the ice).
Highly recommend this product.

Serve cold beverages with ease indoors or out. The lightweight acrylic design is easy to transport and will not break if accidentally tipped over. The design features a compartmentalized base that can be filled with ice for additional cooling. And it's easy to fill the container with a favorite beverage, since it features a wide mouth and removable lid. The lid's handle makes it easy to lift off for adding more ice, fruit, or sweeteners when needed. Amply sized to hold 3 gallons, the container features a no-drip, easy-pull spout for dispensing. Great for parties or everyday use, the beverage dispenser makes a great gift for newlyweds or new homeowners. Hand wash and rinse for easy care.
