Good4U® 6 - tray Food Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After much debate on buying the Good4U or Excalibur dehydrator, this one won out. I was impressed with the price and design of the unit. I wish I had got the Excalibur, with the problems I have had!
I used it 5 out of 7 days a week for 3 months. It started to make a loud clicking noise to which my husband figured out that the electrical tape holding some wires had come loose. After fixing that, a week later it stopped heating altogether. The heating temp switch also broke. I cook a lot of raw so it was upsetting not know what temp I was dehydrating at.
We have contacted the website and called the company's phone number to no end. Two months later NO ONE WILL CONTACT US BACK. This dehydrator has great potential, but some bugs that need to be worded out before buying. It needs the company to stand behind its guarantee to its registed buyers!
BE CAREFUL when buying this. I wish I would have bought the excalibur, because I now will buy it in addition to this broken one!

This juicer is fantastic. I only have those huge juicebar types vs. the little shredder 99$ ones to compare it too, and it blows them both away. A juicebar type omega would be nice if I ... owned a juice bar. But I'm just juicing for two at the most and this little 8 hp baby does the trick. The automatic shut off is a great feature for someone who likes to burn appliances up trying to 'do frozen' because I'm impatient, but I've only managed to kill this one once, with too much frozen corn- I was making Thai fish cakes.
It does not shred to juice, it twists to squeeze out the precious fluid and the hopper lets you control how much 'pulp' aka fiber you want in your juice. I love the engine purr and the squeak of kale as it's pushed through, I just wish I had a black or red one! haha This is a good price for a well warranted product, a great design, easy to clean up (though I don't know about a minute flat or whatever), I usually just rinse the pieces as I take it apart before I even drink my juice.
I primarily use it for juicing vegetables, and while it's tough I still cut my carrots into the size I would give a kid for veggie sticks, broccoli, beets too, the harder veggies need to be sliced up a bit, but i stuff celery whole down the chute, chunks of cabbage, ginger, kale... I will be making nut butter with it, and sausage if I can cope with the skin *shudder*
I love to use the pulp in veggie burgers, extra fiber in meatloaf, carrot cake, makes awesome compost and you can even throw some nuts on top of the dry pulp (run it through twice, sure!), dates, olive oil and have a salad later. Mix it into homemade dog food! No reason just to throw it away...
I can't wait to use my Samson juicer tomorrow morning, just talking about it.
TEN STARS
Pasta, pate, sorbets, spice grinding, and I hear they have a new nozzle for making oil!! I'm getting one...
The only thing that comes close to a hassle is the juicing screen (which does not spin, it's a little stationary cone inside the plastic nozzle that you can trade out for a solid cone for pate, etc). I figured out quickly though that using the little brush (toothbrushs work well when the bristles finally wore down) on the INSIDE of the screen first, then going around the outside of the screen in circular motions is most effective, under a little running water. Everything else if you don't clean it right away (which would be silly) or are running meat through it, can be put in the dishwasher!
I have an older model that looks exactly the same, 10 yr instead of 15 warranty, and they say they've improved some of the pieces.. I can't imagine it being more perfect though!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TOFU PRESS! This item has really changed our diet in the way we've been wanting to, but haven't been able to because of being time/energy challenged at the end of the work day. My husband and I have been slowly becoming vegetarian with leanings toward vegan over the past 2 years. Tofu, with protein and calcium is esp. important for woman to have, but it is such a p. in the a. to prep. With tofuxpress prep is effortless--no more endless paper towels, no more extra dishes towels to launder, no more old biology and calculus textbooks to weight down over cookie sheets to get the tofu's water out. JUST YUMMY EASY EATS! And you can use pre-bottled 'meat' marinades to make it even faster.

OMEGA 8003 WHEAT GRASS MULTIPURPOSE ELECTRIC JUICER/FOOD PROCESSOR/PASTA EXTRUDER Review

OMEGA 8003 WHEAT GRASS MULTIPURPOSE ELECTRIC JUICER/FOOD PROCESSOR/PASTA EXTRUDER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this juicer at least partially out of curiosity. I've had a Champion 25+ years, an Acme for 20, and Breville, L'Equip and Omega centrifugal juicers.
The problem with these centrifugals is that they are awful for leafy greens. The Champion will do leafy greens okay, but I was interested in higher yield. Plus, I do enjoy a shot of wheatgrass and the Champion won't do it at all.
I looked at both twin-gear and single-auger types. Twin-gear juicers are still being developed, so I ended up single-auger. After watching the TriBest infomercial demonstrated by some babe who acted like she was on cocaine, I went to Omega. My Omega centrifugal works flawlessly. I purchased the 8003 over the 8005 or 8006 because I like white appliances.
The 8003 is heavier than it appears in photos. However, it is quite compact, smaller than my Champion. Assembly is quite simple; the auger housing, auger, screen and end cone fit logically and the locking wheels are able to be operated with wet hands. As stated by another reviewer, the feed tube is not large; if one wants to drop whole pieces of fruit in this isn't the juicer for you. This is by far the quietest juicer I've owned.
No, where this juicer excels is with leafy greens. It will happily chomp its way through any green one wants. Unlike the Champion, stringy greens such as celery won't accidentally get wound around the auger. The trick with this juicer is to let the slow-turning auger feed at its own speed, helped with the pusher. BTW if anyone wants to see this juicer in action, go to YouTube and there are several excellent demos. I can run several carrots at a time through the big-mouth Breville; not on this juicer. However, of course, the Breville won't do leafy greens as this one does!
The downside to a white juicer is that carrots and beets can stain. Doesn't bother me, but if that could be a problem, buy the chrome finish one with black peripherals.
I know there has been a model 8006 introduced recently with an auger that's supposed to be several times harder than the melamine one used here. For ~$125 more, I don't see the benefit. I expect the price on the 8006 will drop when the novelty wears off.
If one wants to juice carrots, apples, and other firm fruit, a centrifugal will probably be the juicer of choice. I still use mine for these. However, if one wants to increase leafy greens in one's diet, one of these will definitely fill the bill.

Nature's Recipe Healthy Skin Canine Vegetable Formula Food Review

Nature's Recipe Healthy Skin Canine Vegetable Formula Food
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OK--I know dogs are omnivores, like people, and can eat plants & animals. However not all breeds have evolved to handle some diets equally well, and the rise in allergies in pets attests to that. With veterinary advice, we tried several different foods (all natural without preservatives, Iams, Science Diet, etc.) and none cured our dogs' skin problems long term. I wanted to avoid preservatives like ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT, plus artificial colorings, and my reading suggested they might contribute to some skin allergies too. After much trial and error we discovered Nature's Recipe, and have been so impressed with the results. Our toy poodle's hot spots disappeared, she quit the obsessive licking (no longer itching), and has enjoyed the food and remained vibrant and healthy eating only Nature's Recipe Vegetarian Canine Allergy Formula. We noticed another possible bonus: her dark "tear stains" disappeared (I think due to no coloring agents) and her white fur is beautiful again. Try this food in a small bag first, and allow your dog to adjust to the new diet gradually by incorporating it with present food, a little at a time, and I hope you'll be as impressed as we are! (P.S. Watch the ingredients in your dog snacks too--or you'll defeat this food's effects. Take time to read the labels.)

I bought this thinking that I could make wonderful angel hair pasta with zucchini. Wrong. The shreds are so fine that they are only good for garnishing. After putting pesto onto the zucchini it turned into mush. I then tried carrots. Carrots are VERY difficult to do. You must put ALL your weight on it and turn. The shreds are great for garnishing a salad but I can do the same thing with a hand shredder that I already have. I tried apples since my kids wanted to play with it and they didn't have the strength to do the carrots. The apples turned into mush.
I am now looking for a horizontal type slicer that I saw in a Japanese store. Don't bother with this one.

My boxer-mix has suffered terribly with allergies. Constant yeast infections in his ears, skin problems, general stinky dog problems. After taking him to the vet for like the 100th time for steroids and a super-duper ear washing at the cost of $278, I finally decided to research a better solution. I found that my dog could be allergic to corn or chicken and it would be best to cut that out of his food all together. I found this brand at Petco and ever since we went to this vegetarian formula he has been *basically* allergy free!! He's like a whole different dog!!! Clear eyes, clear skin, lost a bunch of weight, runs around with his brother like they were puppies all over again, doesn't smell and hasn't needed to go back to the vet for his ears!!! My doggy loves this food and I love that he's finally healthy.

Waring JEX328 Pro Juice Extractor Review

Waring JEX328 Pro Juice Extractor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My understanding is that there are basically 3 types of juicers:
- Masticating - like a Champion Juicer
- Centrifugal - like this one
- Citrus only types
Masticating juicers are generally thought of as the best type, but they are more expensive - around $$. If money is no object, a Champion Juicer is probably the way to go.
But, since money was an object for me, I got this one. We have used it almost everyday for about 6 months with great results. The primary thing that we juice is carrots - usually about 20 large carrots each day, and it handles these carrots with no problems. I am very satisfied with this juicer, and I would buy it again.
A few other notes -
Noise. I do find it moderately noisy, but it's so fast that I'm done juicing before it bugs me or anyone in the house.
Cleaning. There are five parts to clean - the lid, the strainer, the pulp collector, the juice collector (looks like a stainless steel cup), and the pusher. The pusher, the lid, and the juice collector are a breeze to clean - about 15 seconds each. The pulp collector is fairly easy to clean (it detaches) but it does have a few small areas which the enclosed brush helps to clean - takes about 1 minute. The strainer is hard to clean without a brush. The brush that comes with is very small, maybe too small for daily use cleaning the strainer, but if you get a larger kitchen brush, the strainer cleans easily - about 1 minute. All together, around 3 minutes to clean.
Other minor notes. The juicer has rubber nobs on the bottom, so it doesn't move on the counter when it's running, which is nice. The juice collector (cup) does move a little sometimes when juicing, so you have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't slip off. The pulp collector does fill after about 10 large carrots, but it's easy enough to take the lid off, dump the pulp, and start again - takes about 10 seconds.
All in all, a great juicer for the price!

This citrus peeler makes peeling oranges, limes, lemons etc. much safer than using any knife. Notice I said safer and not quantifiably faster! There is still a bit of manual peeling required after using it, but I'm no longer worried about slicing my hands as they get slippery while cutting other fruit for my juicer. A must have tool for anyone who has taken up the healthy habit of juicing.
