Monday, February 14, 2011 Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2-2/7-Quart Electric Thermo Pot Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My relatives have an equivalent Zojirushi model. The only difference is this one only has a 6 hour delay whereas the Zojirushi has a longer delay setting. It actually seems like the Panasonic insulates and holds the heat in better than the Zojirushi as it doesn't seem to reheat as often. I'm sure it would save a few pennies in power costs if I could delay it a little longer while I'm away at work all day but it isn't worth almost double the price to get that. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I actually like and prefer the nonstick interior and unless you've got hard water, you don't have to clean it as often as they suggest. It's over a month for mine being used every day and it doesn't look any different than when I bought it. I figure I'll clean it with lemon juice every other month.
Note that you don't have to buy the special cleaning solution. Make your own citric acid with a half cup of lemon juice concentrate mixed in with the water and then run it through the cleaning cycle. If you use fresh lemons make sure you get the pulp out.

Product Description:
Perfect for serving tea to a crowd, this electric thermo pot boils and safely dispenses up to 2-2/7 quarts of hot water through a front-access spout with a simple touch of a button. The unit automatically boils water then switches to a keep-warm setting; it can also be set to start boiling up to six hours later thanks to its energy-saving timer. For tap water high in chlorination, the pot offers a dechlorination mode, which boils the water longer to reduce the taste and amount of chlorine for better tasting beverages. For safety, a magnetic power cord disconnects if necessary to help prevent the unit from tipping over, while a locking lid keeps boiling water from spilling if the pot accidentally does get knocked over. Other thoughtful details include four variable keep-warm settings, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, a low-water warning, and a removable lid, as well as a non-stick coated interior, a cool-touch exterior, and a plastic carrying handle. An instruction manual in English, French, and Chinese comes included. The thermo pot measures approximately 8-1/2 by 9-2/5 by 11-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Friday, February 11, 2011 GE GFSL6KKYLS 25.9 cu. Ft. French-Door Refrigerator with Water and Ice Dispenser - CleanSteel Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had a GE Profile bottom freezer refrigerator for just over a year.I was limited by the space available, but we were able to make adjustments.We purchased a model similar to the one shown, but without the ice maker as I was wary, given the reviews I've read about problems with those.If I had it to do over again, I would try to find an alternative to GE.Initially, things seemed to be working reasonably well. Then, within a few weeks, cracks appeared in the plastic surround of the bottom glass shelf that holds the crisper drawers.After playing telephone tag for another few weeks, we were sent a replacement part.Unfortunately, it was the wrong part.A further round of calls and missteps finally produced the right replacement.Shortly after that, one of the crisper drawers began freezing the produce.I made sure the vents were not obstructed and experimented with different settings of both the refrigerator and freezer.Nothing I tried solved the problem.I called the company where it was purchased and they gave me the name and number of the Authorized Service Dealer.A call to them proved futile.They wouldn't make a service call since they hadn't sold the item.After a long back and forth with the company and the dealer (a large national retailer), we were finally able to get someone to come take a look.And, that's what the service person did.He came.He looked.He shrugged, said I had done everything he would have suggested.He left.The problem persists.The crisper drawer is useless for storing produce, but is a handy place to temporarily hold meat before wrapping to go into the freezer.It's also not bad for quickly chilling white wine.Fortunately, I have an Amana refrigerator that I've had running for over 30 years that keeps my produce in perfect condition.It's in the basement, so we get added exercise running up and down stairs when preparing meals.I have heard that GE was no longer the reliable company it used to be, but this is pathetic.I will be extra vigilant in future to avoid their products.I may even stop watching NBC - not that I do that much now.BUYER BEWARE!!
