Black & Decker G49TD 3-in-1 Grill , Griddle and Waffle Maker



Thin and crunchy, just how we like them
My husband and I were given this waffle iron as a gift for our wedding three years ago. It is just like the one his grandmother had, and make American style (small holes, not deep like Belgian) square waffles. Ours never come out square because its difficult to pour the batter just right for that.

I have never experienced difficulty with the irons staying in place. There are clips that secure them. Reading the instructions should make that quite clear. I do find it inconvenient to clean the baked-on oils from the waffle side of the irons, but they did design it so they remove for cleaning, so I can't complain.

The maker has a heat dial, with a setting for waffles. It adjusts easily to make your waffles more/less brown. The light comes on while baking, and shuts off when finished.

I don't find the design at all cheap. As I said, his grandmother had one. My husband experienced her waffles on this same iron through his whole childhood. I expect ours will...

Black/Decker Waffle Bake/Grill/Grid
I previously bought one for me and now bought one for my daughter and daughter-in-law (at their request). I like the ability to flip the grids depending on the desired usage. I fif find that you do have to spray the grids, otherwise the pancakes or waffles stick. Eventually, the spray builds up. It's a decent product.

Exactly what I wanted.
I have used this kind of waffle iron for many years. Just a couple of years ago my old iron stopped heating. rather than try to have it fixed, I tossed it out before I moved. Well, a replacement was not to be found. I did not like all the new fangled waffle irons. I wanted this one. Well finally I saw it on Amazon. It is a exact replacement for my last. After carefull seasoning, I was able to produce perfect waffles.

Black & Decker BDH1720SM SmartSelect Steam Mop



Cleans well, but I doubt the claims that it sterilizes
I've had bad luck with Black and Decker in the past (toaster oven, hand vacuum, cordless drill) so I almost didn't order this item. I hoped with the $79 price tag it would be better quality than the other items I had that lasted a year.

I used this steam mop on my tile kitchen floor yesterday (and a small patch of sealed hardwood in our entryway) and while it did clean up dried food spills and muddy tracks, I'm not convinced that the amount of steam applied to the floor actually killed 99.9% of germs. My opinion of the pros and cons of this mop are listed below.

Pros:

- Nice long cord - it's 23 feet so I didn't have to unplug and move it
- Attractive design
- Re-useable microfiber pads save money
- No chemicals, for those who are sensitive to them
- Heats up in 15 seconds
- Height of handle is just right for me (5-4)
- Handle clicks into upright position so it can stand by itself while I move furniture
- Clicking...

Average performer
I was curious about what the new design from Black and Decker brings to the field of steam mopping - and this is one of those perfectly average products that leaves me unimpressed overall. There is nothing really to hate about the product - but its misses are kind of frustrating. First, the steam temperature is way lower than what my Eureka puts out. I don't need to have a thermometer confirm this, because I can immediately sense a difference in the floor temperature between whet this steamer and the other ones. Also, there is a good amount of water being left behind. On the Eureka the combination of high temperature and lower amounts of water makes the floor dry up quickly. With the Black and Decker, it has not been 20 minutes and I still have patches of wet floor. I have also found that the microfiber pad does not have the scrubbing ability of the good ole' fashioned cotton pads used by the Eureka steamer. It could be a combination of the microfiber and the lower temperature, but if...

Good Mop But I'm Still Prefer My Hoover
I have this and a Hoover TwinTank Disinfecting Steam Mop. This works pretty well and delivers hot steam pretty quickly. But I just think that my Hoover produces a little more steam alittle more consistently. I also like the triangle head of my Hoover better thant the straight head of this one. Maybe I just prefer the Hoover beacue I've used it longer and am already used to it. I don't know if other reviewers like the straight head but this is just my preference. Other than those two points, the two mops I'm comparing are very similar. This one might be a little lighter thant the Hoover but neither are burdensome. I'm 6 months pregnant and still have no trouble steam mopping my floors.

I do have one bit of money saving advice, I use microfiber towels after the mop pads wore out. The towles work great! They're the yellow ones that are sold for washing/drying cars. You can get a huge pack here on Amazon for bucks. I use them in the kitchen, on my cars, and I have some reserved...

Black & Decker 1 1/2-Pound Bread Machine, White



The bread does not rise
I have tried this machine over and over with my own ingredients and packaged bread mixes. I have followed the directions very carefully and each time the bread only rises about 3/4 of the way up the pan. I called tech services who were useless. I stuck it on a shelf and forgot about it. I tried it again yesterday and it did the same thing. I assume the temperature is off, but now it's too late for a return. It was < $50 so I'm not hysterical, but I would really like a machine that works. Now I'm afraid to try another one.

Update 8/3/2013 After I posted the original review I was contacted by a B&D rep. He was very nice and immediately sent me a replacement. The new one works great and I'm very happy.

It does what I want.
I bought it to knead my bread, since my wrists are failing. It does a good job of that, and I'm happy. I will use it to bake when I am not making sandwich bread, but I prefer the normal loaf for that.

Yum! great machine
The bread machine is good and easy to use. The instruction booklet could have been better though, it is a little vague. There are many more recipes that can be found online at least, but it would be nice if the booklet included more recipes and information. We have been enjoying being able to eat warm, fresh made bread whenever we like. Delicious
