Kenmore 13742 / 13744 / 13749 Built-in Dishwasher
13742
by tsonaquaNew Member
Pros: Quiet, tall tub, attractive, not much else.
Cons: Top rack design, odour, no better then my 20 year old Kenmore. Poor drying.
Purchase: Wife and I purchased this late last Winter, so I'm guessing we've been using it for about 5 months. Bought because of all the CR propaganda rating it a top buy and regret it. Sound: The machine is quiet, audable, but still ...

Weber Q Propane Grill
What a Great Grill
by doggiebus
Pros: Compact, doesn't take up much space in the garage/patio, easy to clean, cooks fast/evenly
Cons: Side tables are a little flimsy for heavy plates.
After our large Ducane ($600) died after 8 years, we looked at buying the Weber E320 at around $700. We didn't want another grill that took up a huge amount of space in the garage or had to be left on the patio (an eyesore in our opinion) as living in ...

Miele S571 Bagged Canister Vacuum
Good Old Fashioned Miele Values!
by nar2
Pros: Beautifully made, very practical, very powerful, slightly older in style.
Cons: No longer made; uses a bag, if it comes up on EBay, seize it!
Now that Miele have launched a new range of compact and smaller cylinder vacuums on the market starting off with the S4000 ranges and has received the same Best Buy recommendation from Which consumer magazine, second hand prices of the older S500 range ...

Broan-NuTone Economy 414201/ 414202/ 414208 Kitchen Hood
How much do you really have to pay for quality?
by guzmos
Pros: Quiet, easy to install, does what a range hood should do
Cons: None
In 2005 our range hood just up and died. The fan stopped working and the outside of the unit was in poor shape. I determined to replace the entire unit, rather than waste money repairing the older unit. It was loud and I can't even remember the brand ...

Rainbow Technologies E series Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum
I've never met a bad Rainbow Vacuum
by jillybean-meowNew Member
Pros:

Best vacuum ever!


Cons: You HAVE to clean it every time. But then, why would you not want to??
My first introduction to the Rainbow Vacuum was back in about 1975. My mom agreed to a home demonstration. For a child of the depression to be sold on a $1000 vacuum, it has to be good! 33 years later, it's still going strong. I tried to get her ...

Sebo Air Belt C3.1 Bagged Canister Vacuum

Pros: Lots of suction power, well constructed and has smart design.
Cons: Vacuum is Pricey! Bags and replacement filters are too.
I have owned my Sebo C3.1 for over 6 months now and I am so glad I paid the extra for a quality vacuum. Our home has white carpets, we have two active teenagers and a dog. Having a good vacuum is a must. I had shopped around for a ...

Pros: Really does the job. Must work constantly over long period, but who cares?
Cons:

Defective after initial use. Problematic tech support, but ultimately OK. Details in the main review.


OK. I've wanted to get this thing for a long time, and finally broke down and bought it. I figured I'd given iRobot Corp. a chance to impress me.As you may have read from my previous review, customer support and reliability is *the* most ...

by bep1972New Member
Pros: convenient, great interface, good design, low energy, low water, ventless, 115v power, all-in-one
Cons: hard to get repaired
I love this machine--love it--with all my heart. We even named it. We've had it for 3 years even now with very few problems. Shortly after buying it, it tossed up an error code, but a BestBuy tech just had to come and reset the internal control unit (I ...

Whirlpool Refrigerator White-on-White (21 cu. ft.) - ET1CHEXVQ
Just your basic fridge, but a great deal
by waltinny
Pros: Top mounted frost-free freezer, ample capacity, Energy Star compliant, ice maker.
Cons: Seemed like a lot of "do it yourself" to reconfigure/put together.
The fridge I had was a Kenmore that I bought in 1999. Lately, it seemed like it was running incessantly, and wasn't as cold as it should be. Worried that I would be receiving an electric bill large enough to subsidize the CEO's annual bonus, I started ...

Pros: Beautiful dishwasher, cleans great!
Cons: Top rack is small and poorly designed. The bowls fall over.
I'm on the search for a good dishwasher! So far I've tried two and the third is coming next week. The good people at Lowes cringe when they see me enter the store. I have never returned an appliance in my life until now. I have tried the Kitchen Aid ...

Pros: Gets items clean, very quiet, attractive
Cons: None really
The KitchenAid KUDM03FT works well. It gets dishes clean, it's easy to operate, it's attractive, and it's very quiet - quieter than most KitchenAid dishwashers, let alone those from other manufacturers. The last is vitally important to me because the ...

I have several vacuums, including a Kirby, a Rainbow, and this Miele. I've owned the Plus for more than 5 years now; it's identical to the one still for sale. I've seen vacuums come and go, but this Miele gets more use than any other in my ...

Pros: All-metal construction, dual belt drive, generic/inexpensive supplies, durable, repair-able anywhere
Cons: Not a featherweight, sewer must do own thinking!
I own 3 of this model Necchi, all purchased on EBay. I got one new in the box for $40, and paid around $25 for the other two that are like new. A visit for each to my trusted dealer and they were/are adjusted perfectly. For those into sewing, ...

Cons: Can't buy them for $75 at Wal-Mart!
I own around a dozen sewing machines, including two other Bernina machines. I purchased this machine specifically for travel, as it is a 3/4 sized machine. Surprisingly, this machine isn't much lighter than the full-sized models. All Berninas have a cast ...

Pros: Looks nice, good price
Cons: Sensors depend on exact sizes of product -- NOT CONVENIENT.
I bought this as a replacement for an existing microwave whose turntable had broken. The cost to replace the turntable was about half the cost of a decent new microwave, so I figured I'd go for it.The GE JES1142SJ is easily the worst microwave ...

This is a great microwave oven. It is *not* a convection oven, however - that seems to be a retailer mislabeling problem. Unfortunately another reviewer gave the microwave low marks because of that problem.This oven is powerful and consistent. ...

The dishwasher itself has been wonderful, until the breakdown (my issues with that are at the end of the review). This dishwasher is relatively quiet. I hate to admit it, but the primary reason for the purchase of such a pricey dishwasher was ...
