This machine only makes blended soups, but they are insanely easy and delicious. However, after 3 perfect soups the heating element completely stopped working. Just would not heat up at all. Fortunately, Amazon has a wonderful return policy so I am sending it back and getting another. I hope the new one keeps working because except for the malfunction, I LOVE IT. I could only give it 3 stars because I don't know why it just quit on me. I would give it a higher rating also if it didn't leave a burnt ring of soup on the bottom like another reviewer mentioned. Until somebody invents a better "Soup-Robot" than Soup-a-Chef, I'll have to stick with it though.

I would give five stars except for the fact that every time I make soup there is a small strip of burnt food at the bottom of the blender, no matter what kind or quantity of soup I make. Other than that, the machine works magnificently. I made San Marzano Tomato soup, potato soup, summer squash soup, turnip/parsnip/carrot soup, mushroom soup, pea soup with mint. The machine nicely chops and then purees the vegetables and pauses to heat and cook the mixture until ready to eat. In about half hour you can have delicious home made soup. I have used fresh vegetables as well as defrosted frozen ones. Vegetable, chicken or beef broth. And you can bypass the heating and just use the blender to make tasty smoothies.

This machine is half the price of its competitors but does the same work and gives you delicious and nutricious soup. The manufacturers could give you more recipes, however and the problem of cleaning the burnt food at the bottom of the blender is still an annoyance. All in all, it is still a great value and a big help in the kitchen.

This was an impulse buy at a discount store (I found out Amazon has it cheaper!), but I must comment on it. I was looking for a way to eat more vegetables but I'm a super lazy cook. This machine has changed my nutritional life! I merely roughly chop some veggies from the fridge (broccoli, carrots, celery, potato, sweet potato, whatever I've bought to cook but probably won't!) with a few staples (onion, garlic, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes), and in 30 minutes I have soup! Today I pulled out some frozen spinach, a can of artichokes, broiled some onion and garlic to soften, and I'll soon see how it tastes in the form of soup.

I agree with the other comments regarding things sticking to the bottom heating element. THE SOLUTION: A LIGHT COATING OF OLIVE OIL TO GREASE THE BOTTOM BEFORE ADDING ANY INGREDIENTS. HAS WORKED LIKE A CHARM FOR ME! AND, OLIVE OIL IS GOOD FOR YOU, SO NO HARM DONE.

Just bought one for my mom who has to pulverize everything she eats now due to radiation damage to her bowel. Can't wait to see what she thinks of it! If this unit dies, I will be sad then promptly purchase another.

Addendum: My mom loves it. I just noticed a leak at the bottom of the base on mine, I think the jug is leaking. Drats!

Honest reviews on Soup-A-Chef Electric Soup Maker

This a good product. It is simple to use and easy to setup. The product makes excellent soup and the recipes are good. I haven't tried independent recipes but I would expect them to be as good as the ones provided.

The only problem that I have seen with the unit is that the lid has to be exact even though it will go on various ways. It has to be align correctly with few guidelines. This is a minor problem however. Something to be looked at in future generations.

I look forward to using this easy appliance in cooking. I would recomnend it to all who like soup made easy.

Zojirushi CV-DYC40 Super VE 4-Liter Vacuum Electric Dispensing Pot Review

I have owned several different electric kettles, but this one is by far the best. The Zojirushi is easy to use and set up. The timer is the best feature of all, I set the timer in the evening and the water is at the perfect temperature when I wake in the morning. The whole family uses it, for tea, hot cocoa, coffee (french press), instant oatmeal, roman noodles and more! This is the best purchase I have made in a long time, and the Zojirushi is worth every cent.

All in all, this electric pot is wonderful. Heats as stated in the manual (about 35 minutes for entire pot). Easy to use (plug and go). Keeps the water hot for a long time and the digital readout lets you know the current temp of the water.

Couple of drawbacks that maybe they'll fix in the next model: 1) Runs on 2 "AA" batteries for dispensing when not plugged in. Batteries only last about 7 hours. 2) When the batteries run out, you can't just replace the batteries and continue using the pot. It doesn't recognize the new batteries. For the new batteries to be recognized, you must plug the unit back into a wall outlet. That really defeats the purpose of going outlet free.

Seems a bit expensive for the 2 problems noted but otherwise I'm almost universally happy with all Zojirushi products I've ever purchased.

My only complaint is: It is only stainless steel for the outside look, not for the container that actually holds the water. As a result, the water dispensed from it always tasted/smelled a little weird, not like from a real stainless steel kettle.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi CV-DYC40 Super VE 4-Liter Vacuum Electric Dispensing Pot

I own this particular model along with a couple CD-LCC models and other boilers. Hand down, Zojirushi is the best for having large amount of hot water ready at home or small coffee shops.

Please note that CV-DYC40 was mainly designed for holding water at 208F and 195F. The unit is designed to be plugged in 24/7 and refilled as needed. Note that a whole gallon of water is contained in an extremely well insulated container while the boiler heats to 212F every single time one adds water! It takes about 2hrs for the insulated units to cool to 175F, which is painfully slow. If you insist on holding water at 175F, I suggest getting a non-insulated CD-LCC model. A workaround for CV-DYC40 is to boil about 2/3 of the water and top off with cold water.

The battery function is very nice as you can take the boiler anywhere in the house, coffee shop, outdoors for parties, catering etc. If you own a small coffee shop and are looking for a boiler/kettle for americanos and hot chocolate consider that this boiler is very slow (30-40min to boil a 4 liters) and you may end up using this boiler as more of a 'fancy' carafe, still using a regular kettle to boil water.

Lastly, for those of you who are tea aficionados, part of the tea flavor comes from oxidation. As the water sits in the boiler at, say, 195F or 208F oxygen and other gases escape which may lead to some teas tasting slightly different. But, hey! If you can't tell a difference then who cares?

Having a Zojirushi rice cooker, it is a trusted brand in my house. I am a frequent flyer and two problems arise from weekly flights: a weaker immune system and jet lag. Proper hydration reduces jet lag and any device that easily increases my water intake keeps me healthier.

I have a large collection of tea of coffee apparati. For tea, I enjoy the instant satisfaction of filling up a cup with more hot water, and have always relied on electric kettles. The Zojirushi has a very large reservoir, definitely enough to fill my 12-cup Bodum Assam teapot twice full for a tea party... No pun intended.

The stovetop method is what I've used the past few days. 7min and boiling water, viola! This method produces water too hot for coffee, and scalding hot for green tea. No control!

Previously, I used 2 Pino digital electric kettles ($70/ea) and found them to have much more flexibility for teas and coffee. They were far better at maintaining temperature to 2-3F, and had a smaller reservoir of 50oz. I found myself refilling the kettle on occasion, perhaps 2-4x daily during the winter months. Major issue is that I used them so much they ended up burning out after 1yr or so of use.

As previously mentioned, the Zojirushi has a massive reservoir. It is great for all sorts of kitchen uses and dare I say household uses. The toilet clogged and we used boiling water and soap to fix it. I'm told it would work well for gelatins, hot breakfast cereals and instant noodles, as well as hearing baby bottles.

For teas, I find the Zojirushi to lack the sensitivity I'm used to from a digital kettle. Rare teas are to be steeped as low as 160F and that's harder to hit that target for me now. I find myself mixing hot water with cold tap water to get exactly where I need to be.

For coffee, 203F is a good target to hit. This water boiler runs hot and the timer works well for waking up to hot water.

Overall, I like the larger reservoir but have sacrificed the control that my Pino kettle had. Hopefully this will at least last longer. It is very easy to make crappy green tea if your temperatures are too hot, less so for black teas.

This model in particular requires batteries. You can make your device portable. To be honest, you can do this with a Zojirushi thermos and save a few $$. The stupid thing is that the batteries literally allow you only to dispense water without being plugged in. For $30, this feature doesn't seem worth it, considering the boiler is insulated. I thought I'd use this for reheating on batteries but that isn't the case.

More updates after sustained usage to come...

This little thing hold the temperature well. We are picky about the way we make our coffee and teas and temperature control on this baby is one thing we don't have to fuss over, especially early in the morning. In our opinion, this little gem has water ready to go at any moment whenever a caffeine fix is in order is priceless. We had larger models in the past and they all worked flawlessly. We like this smaller version so much we will get a second one for office.

Pair this up with a nice french/tea press and you are set!

*Took away one star for pricing, comparing it to larger siblings, this thing should be priced around $100 in our opinion.

For a long time I tried to find a way to get hot water without scum taste. I tried various kettles and water boiling devices all produced a water with bad scum taste aftera while. Zojirushi devices (I own two of them, different models, one is used at home, another at work) are excellent. Although there is an instruction of how to clean them using citric acid, there was no need to do it for last 6 months or so I use them every day. It also unbelievable convenient to have a hot water ready for tea at any moment. Or am I just getting lazy?

The shovel is smaller than pictured and it does not go together the way they show. However, I really brought this for the brush which was well worth the price. I can sweep hot coals back into the fireplace and it does not melt. The hanging hook is really great as well. Get if you need a brush but not if you want a combo set.

The short handles are convenient for cleaning up when you're sitting by the hearth, and the hooks are handy. These were a great deal at $15, and they look OK and seem sturdy enough. But the workmanship is not great: many of the cuts, rivets, welds, etc. are rough or crooked.

Reviews of EdgeStar 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater

EdgeStar 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
This is a general overview of the Edgestar 14000 BTU dual hose air conditioner.

Buying experience: Average

Product was slow to be delivered, approximately two weeks from the time I placed the order until I actually received the item. Buyer's need to keep in mind that this product is not sold by Amazon. It is some external site that sells via amazon. Most buyers will not face any complications but it is important to know that dealing with some little dotcom is very different than dealing with Amazon in terms of service, quality of product, and returns.

Design: Below average

Product itself is extremely bulky in girth and tall in profile. The "portable" tag is rather misleading. Yes, anything is portable but due to the weight and size of this unit, it is not very portable at all. While it looks very slim in the pictures, it has a large rear section where the dual hose is located. The control panel on the unit is also not very touch sensitive and the power button became non-responsive after a few uses.

Product use: Poor to Unacceptable

It is also very unlikely that this product is a 14000 BTU air conditioner. It cannot, I repeat, cannot cool a space larger than 500 sq feet. It has been used in a wide range of temperatures (72-95F) and completely fails to lower the room temperature by more than 5F. I would estimate that it can cool a space that that is at most 200 square feet. Also note that the unit is very prone to condensation and leaks. Puddles form around the unit on high humidity days. Be careful when using on hardwood floors. It is a disaster waiting to happen. Window kit also had a nice big crack around the hose connection area.

Manufacturer/Tech support: Below Average

As mentioned previously, when dealing with an external seller, it can range from annoyance to frustration. First tried the seller for help and as expected was referred to the manufacturer as "this unit should be covered by the warranty". Manufacturer was must have all of one employee working for them. Impossible to get a live person and even then it was the standard read from a script response.

In summary, this is a dismal product with even worse support. It would be best to avoid this brand and seller. I would not recommend this air conditioner even on a sweltering summer afternoon.

I bought this unit as a birthday present for my husband's new workshop. The square footage of his shop is well under what the unit is rated for, but it was worthless in real heat...we live in South Texas. We called Compact Appliance, who sold it to us with a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and they told us to call the manufacturer. They have ignored all subsequent requests for assistance. Manufacturer said its not designed to work where the ambient temperature is over 90 degrees. REALLY?? Why would you spend that kind of money to air condition an already cool place? I will never buy from Compact Appliance again and I will tell this story to anyone who will listen.

I bought one portable air conditioner and heater from Sonic value company for father's day gift.and i got damage item. and i confirm and recorded everything before i ordered this item that it is gonna be a new item and not any kind of damage. and the after i got this kind of item.So, i called them and explained everything.and every time they were giving excuses and not giving good customer service.and they were telling me to send pictures about damage, about label, more clear pictures,box pictures.and i did every time. then after they did n't do anything. So, i asked to my money back and one day the company vice president send me E-mail and say you are wasting my and my staff time and bla bla bla...

So i sent below reply.

First of all I have not received the email you are talking about. You

guys have all my information you guys could have called me. Just like

you guys were calling me when you wanted our business. And this is not

the way to respond to the customers. I am very offended by your

response, ,which was awfully rude. I will never shop with your company

in the future.

Secondly, If you feel like we are wasting your time then I will send

back the item as soon as possible. We will never do business in the

future and I will make sure that other customers are aware of the

service you guys are giving. And may be you should re-think about

being in business if customer issues are waste of time for you. I

feel like I am wasting MY time by going through all this with you, it

should be other way around. I will take this to consumer affairs. I

don't want to deal with the company who does not know the customer

value and respect.

Thirdly, talking about language, Obviously you guys don't speak

language that customers speaks.

So, Please don't buy anything from this company because this company does not know how to deal with customers and how to make customers happy.and if you need more head ache in your life then i will advice you to go with this company.

Don't buy this money pit!!! Big waste of $730 (original purchase plus repair costs!!!)

On the day after the one-year warranty ended, it stopped running. The manufacturer was rude & very difficult to work with and as a "favor" sent the replacement part at no charge. The part that failed had been redesigned because a tendency to fracture under heat stress. I opened up the back and realized that the job was way beyond my own diy skills. I shelled my own $130 for the repairman, who was very hard to find. He kindly informed me the secret is most AC techs are not qualified to work on mini-duct ac's, which is technically what this unit is.

One year later, the electronics have failed, and having moved to New England, there is NO-ONE who does mini-duct AC work. Still need an AC, though, to keep the creepy basement dried out and the mold at bay...

THIS IS a great heater. It heats the entire first floor which is 1300 sqft and then takes the chill off the upstairs also 1300sqft. On HI the main floor get to 74 or 75F. as the temp goes in the single digits it does not hold up as well. However keep in mind that the area is larger than what they estimate it heats. Go for it you won't regret it.

PS The only thing negative we found was that the wall above the heater gets very hot. Maybe thats because we did not get the fan.

We are switching to propane and ordered this heater to put in the basement. It's not as unattractive as what I thought it would be but still personally wouldn't want it in my upstairs living area. We had my brother in law (who delivers and installs propane) hook everything up for us. He said it was a fairly easy install and switching it over to the LP selection. It definitely throws out heat. However, it's not cold enough to use right now so I can't say on how well or poor it does in cold temps. I will say that the blower that is sold with it is not very strong. The angle that it goes into the box and points upwards into the box is almost like it is inhibiting alot of the air flow going through it. But it's not completely useless and does throw some of the air around. As of right now I am happy with this purchase and am anxious to see what it can do this winter, and the reason I gave it four stars is because I don't know yet how well it will heat this winter.

I connected the product as instructed, once I turned my pump on it immediatly blew the end off a brand new 35foot hose. I had added two of these hoses to get the panels into the sun. I replaced the blown hose, and tried again, this time it worked for a couple days, but leaked at the ends where the hoses connected to the panels. After a couple days running one of the panels ruptured from the amount of pressure. I didn't know it ruptured and it ended up draining my pool.

I must preface that I have a Master's degree in chemistry with a minor in physics. I believe I have a better than average mechanical ability. Also, until ordering from this manufacturer, I have used another manufacturer's panels for 5 years.

For me, this product has failed on 3 accounts:

The most serious problem is that while I could easily connect the three segments on one end using their bayonet-style connector design, I could not connect any of the three segments together on the other end (1). The instructions were not explicit as how to connect the panels, presuming it to be obvious to the assembler (2).

The third problem was that extra assembly hardware was present and needed assembly hardware was absent.

I heat my woodshop with a 55,000 BTU kerosene heater. The heater I have has a built-in thermostat, but it's junk. I had taken to turning the heater on high until the shop was warm, then turning it off until I noticed it was getting cold. Not good! Since Dad's got this thermostat on his kerosene heater, I knew it would be a good choice.

What I didn't realize until after I bought this thermostat is how good of an idea it is. Now the shop is a much more constant temperature, and it is much more pleasant to be out there.

The only downside to this thermostat is that it would be nice if it had a dedicated power switch, and perhaps a power light so you know when it's plugged in and turned on.

This works fine, but the rotary temperature selector should be bigger. No way to select it to a precise degree. For example, 70 and 75 are so close together that you can select somewhere between them and it will keep somewhere between them.

I gave the heated mattress pad to a friend who sleeps in an attic. It has very little heat and he was finding that blankets just weren't doing the job. I gave him the mattress pad for his birthday and he said he can't BELIEVE what a difference it makes. For the first time since he started sleeping there, he can sleep through the night and not wake up shivering. In addition, he had been suffering with back pain and that seems to have subsided too, starting the first morning after sleeping with the pad.

He said the warmth generated by the pad is amazing. So much so that he rarely sets it higher than three (out of a possible 10). He said he loves it and didn't even know this product was MADE. He had heard of electric blankets but never a heated PAD.

He said he loves it and would recommend it to anyone.

Like another reviewer, I was very surprised at how warm (hot) the pad gets. I've never been able to tolerate it set above a 3, but do initially (before getting into bed) set it at 5 or 6, but then instantly turn it down when using it as it's very intense heat at the higher settings. Because of how hot it gets, I would be concerned letting a small child use this, even in a supervised home-setting as I would be afraid they could turn it up accidentally. We put a mattress pad over ours (I believe the instructions frowned on that plan) as we could feel the wires, so while these sell for somewhat less than other brands, expect to feel the wires in the pad, just as you might feel them in a heating blanket. We do not feel them with the standard, mattress pad in place. Good and warm for the money and I'm buying four more for the rest of the family.

THIS IS THE GREATEST ITEM. I HAVE HAD A TWIN, FULL AND A QUEEN SIZE.

IT IS GREAT TO GET INTO A WARM BED. ALSO, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS HOW EASY IT IS TO WASH IT AND PUT IT IN THE DRYER OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IT IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE. AND I HAVE LIVED IN CALIFORNIA.

I bought two twin size heated pads and one queen size pad.

All of them works very good.

They are warm.

Used the pad for a while now. A few negatives make me not consider it for replacement. 1) The very large socket lies at the foot of the bed. I constantly kick it during sleep, sometimes hard. 2) I can feel the wiring elements. 3) I constantly get an 'F2' reset, which has been harder and harder to reset. [I.e., unplugging the power cord.] Unplugging a power cord when you're trying to get to sleep is not fun. The mattress is defective. On the positive side, the mattress pad heats quite nicely. We both like the power 'start-up' feature.
