  • Small product picture of beer keg refrigerators.

    Beer drinkers rejoice – the BeerTender Home Beer-Tap System brings the beer drinking experience directly to your home. Krups, a leading manufacturer of small appliances, and Heineken, a leader in premium imported beer, joined forces to make the perfect beer keg refrigerator. To use, insert a 5L keg into the machine, place the plastic tube from the keg into the spout and close the lid. The keg will be kept at an ideal temperature of 41 degrees and remain fresh for 30 days. This beer keg refrigerator is a great accessory for the Heineken beer lover, as it has a silent operation, an LCD display and detachable, easy to clean parts.

    Note that this beer-tap system can only be used with Heineken kegs, as the beer kegerator is built for the crisp taste of Heineken beer, along with the signature head of foam. Heineken is known for having that “perfect pour” and this system keeps consistent with the image. Product owners love this draft beer dispenser, as one can enjoy fresh beer from the tap at any time. Plus, the beer tap really does achieve the perfect pour and the adjustable controls are an added bonus. Some online reviews are more critical however, with a common problem being that the beer keg only produced foam. Fortunately, many owners suggest pulling the handle all the way out and pour at an angle to avoid pouring foam. On the whole, these beer-tap keg refrigerators are excellent products that allows kegs to stay fresh, cool and crisp for up to a month.

This apple peeler takes the work out of peeling and coring apples, making this delicious red fruit a hit in the kitchen. The traditional design cores, slices and peels apples and potatoes, being perfect for making salads, pies and other tasty treats. You don’t have to worry about this apple peeler slowing down, as it’s made from enamel-coated cast-iron with stainless steel blades and a chrome shaft.

Even with all the positives, there were still some issues with the apple peeler. Peeling and slicing the apples and potatoes are what product owners found to be difficult at times.

  • Small product picture of wusthof steak knives.

    This portable ice maker from NewAir is a kitchen appliance I wouldn’t have thought to buy – unless, of course, I didn’t have a fridge that made ice for me. When I did the research for this review, I almost decided to buy it anyway for those hot summer days when we have company over and the fridge can’t keep up with demand for ice for the glasses of lemonade. The icemaker is a cute red color, and it looks sleek and modern – kind of like an updated bread machine. It’s something I wouldn’t mind leaving out on my counter for display. Plus, you can take it with you anywhere you can plug it in, which means you don’t have to buy ice for the family reunion anymore.

    Most reviewers who bought this portable ice maker to fill a need seemed to really love it. It works quickly – popping out a load of ice in six to eight minutes, depending on who you ask. Like any other small kitchen appliance, it’s got a few pros and cons, though. Many reviewers were impressed by how well the NewAir ice maker worked – and how quickly. Like I said, it can pop out a load of ice in six to eight minutes, according to most reviews. Reviewers also liked that you could choose the size of ice cubes you wanted the machine to make, so it was easy to get whatever you needed. One thing to note is that this ice machine is surprisingly quiet until you hear the ice popping down into the container. I wouldn’t have expected this from a small kitchen appliance like this one.

This julienne peeler can make colorful strips of veggies, swirls of chocolate and julienned apple slices. It’s made entirely of stainless steel and includes a blade protector. Easy and comfortable to use, this peeler can be tossed in the dishwasher for a quick clean. It’s also been rated the “Best Gadget” by several newspaper and magazine food editors. When shopping around for julienne peelers, many consumers consider the OXO Good Grips peeler.

    This julienne peeler has a stainless steel blade and comfortable, non-slip handle. However, product owners are often disappointed to find that the gadget doesn’t live up to its expectations, with the blade not being strong or sturdy enough. Fortunately, the Kuhn Rikon has no negative reviews and for the same price, product owners find that the peeler is a superior product with a quality blade. Online ratings are consistent with what magazine and newspaper food editors are saying; however there are a few things to caution. When using the peeler, make sure you have a good grip, as it could slip and the blade is rather sharp. Also, some reviewers found that the peeler was easier to use on harder veggies instead of soft ones. Overall, this is an exceptional tool at an affordable price that can dress up your meals for more fun at the dinner table!

  • Product review of the step machines.

    The Stamina InStride Pro Electronic Stepper workout device is a fun workout system to own for people who enjoy watching movies on television while exercising. These step machines claim to be good for people who weigh 220-pounds or less, however, there are some reviews on online that are from people who weigh more than the weight limit. Where problems are seen are in the reviews from lightweight people with small feet who seem to be having a little bit of trouble positioning their feet correctly on the exercise stepper. Stair-stepping exercises are recommended for people who need to build up their stamina, and for people who need to take daily walks.

    The Stamina InStride Stepper comes with a battery operated monitor that gives readouts devoted to the number steps taken every minute. This information can be helpful to incorporate into all types of fitness or sports training routines that take place outside of a fitness club or gym. Due to the compact size of this exercise step machine, it is very easy to store, transport, and use in all types of settings. This Stamina electronic stepper would be a great gift choice to consider for people who do not have tiny feet or a body-frame that is too large for this model of stepper to handle. These reasonably priced Stamina stair-steppers seem to have better reviews online than the other brands that appear in the same price-range. The aerobic exercise steppers come with a warranty period, and there are replacement parts available from the manufacturer.
