    Despite the name French Fries, this tasty treat is almost as American as apple pie. French fries are found in almost every restaurant around the country and are a staple of meals in America’s fast food industry.

  • Small product picture of a mclane edger review.

    Nobody likes to admit it, but owning a home can sometimes be a giant competition with your neighbors to see who can add the most curb appeal to their home. While additions such as front patios, porches, decks, and shrubs are often extremely attractive; sometimes the simplest of details can add beauty to your property. A well trimmed and landscaped lawn is a perfect example. If you want to have beautifully manicured lawns you’ll need the help of a tool like the McLane Gas Powered Lawn Edger. With the Mclane Edger you can have the neatest lawn edges in the neighborhood and your neighbors will be asking how you do it.

    This particular McLane gas lawn edger is powered by a 3.5 horsepower, 4.75 gross-torque gas powered engine. This powerful landscape edger offers a 9-inch edging blade and ball-bearing 8-inch wheels. McLane edgers are all constructed with heavy duty steel frames and have smooth cutting performance thanks to dual cutter head bearings. There are a variety of edgers available on the market, but gas powered models remain the most powerful despite the efforts of newer, green models. While the majority of online reviewers gave the McLane commercial gas edger high marks for ease of use and reliability, there were those who did not have a good experience with their model. Even the lawn edger’s dissenters reported good quality work from the product; they didn’t care for the lack of quality in design. A handful of users reported issues with the throttle and various belts giving them trouble after just a few uses. Electric and battery powered edgers may be all the rage these days as people try to “go green” as much as possible, but sometimes you can’t beat the power and performance of an old fashioned edger like the McLane gas edge trimmer.

  • Product review of dualit 4 slice toaster.

    Looking for a well built, high performing toaster? Then given serious consideration to Dualit’s Four Slice Toaster. This toaster is assembled totally by hand. The company promises even browning every time thanks to the unit’s patented ProHeat elements. While the four slots are wide and deep to accommodate larger items, the unit also has adjustable wire slots for thinner pieces of bread. A keep warm feature also is featured, allowing the unit to complete the toasting cycle but keeping the bread inside the slot until you are ready to eject it with the ejection knob. Choose from two or four slice toasting and use the four minute timer for desired toast results.

    Designed for use in English hotels, this unit is made to stand up to eight hours of continuous use and can produce an astounding 130 slices of toast per hour. The 2 slice or 4 slice toaster is stylish with an insulated stainless steel body. An adjustable leg can be used to accommodate uneven surfaces. Reviews for this stainless steel toaster were split almost evenly; about half of the reviewers loved the toaster. The other half felt the Dualit 4 Slice Toaster didn’t toast evenly and was not accommodating to various sizes of breads as promised.
