I've been using this for about six months now; I previously had the older vertical-style Zojirushi maker. Some observations:

Unlike as is mentioned in many of the notes here, my loaves come out too dark even on the lightest setting, particularly the 1.5 lb. ones. I tried programming it for a shorter baking phase, but it appears that the machine is too smart for this; it raises the baking temperature so that the loaf comes out even browner.

Other than that, I use it mostly for mixing dough. The features I bought it for (programmable phases, loaf shape) work fine. But I do wish they supported programmable rising temperatures. When the dough comes out of the maker, it's been rising at 100F and won't continue rising satisfactorily at a lower temperature, so I have to put it in a makeshift proofing box (my oven, preheated for one minute.) This does not work for French bread, which wants to rise at 72F for many hours to develop flavor.

I may also have found a solution to the lopsided loaf problem: I adjust the paddles so they are facing each other before I add the ingredients. It doesn't come out perfect but seems better to me. Does this work for anyone else?

I have always baked bread by hand and never owned a bread machine before this one. There are times when the loaf is lighter on top than I'd like. The bread does bake under the paddles but following the directions for cleaning and soaking a few moments seems to remedy for me. The paddles are a bit tricky to get off sometimes but nothing major. I've had no trouble with the non-stick surface as of yet. As to the browning of the bread - using this recipe I found online I get a great loaf every time. I add them in the order the manual says: 1 cup + 1 tbs. water, 1 large egg beaten, 4 1/2 tbs. vegetable oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tbs. rapid rise yeast. I use the quick cycle and the medium crust. Other recipes yield various results but this one is a staple in our house. Just my two cents worth, all in all I really like this machine for when I don't feel like making bread by hand.

I got this about 2 months ago because I wanted to reduce some of the cat hair in my room but honestly I can barely tell the difference. I leave it on 24/7 at medium speed (high speed is way too loud)

I have been through several air cleaners and found the filter replacements were expensive and hard to find. This air cleaner is great for the money and the filters are easy to find and affordable. Not to mention it actually works well.

This is a piece of junk!!!! The beater inside broke while making the first batch of ice cream and the ice cream hadn't even frozen totally.

I used crushed ice, but the ice seemd to clog the motion during the first use. The main plastic stir part broke on first use. I keep searching the internet for the part. Like previous reviews, the bottom froze, but the top was very liquid. After re-freezing, the end result was quite good. The Cookies & Creme recipe was easy for my 12 yr old son to make. As of now, this is expensive for a one-time use. I can't understand why the most important part was plastic

This product does an excellent job of making home made ice cream provided you use a recipe that will freeze up well. We tend to put more of the cream products in (whipping and half & half) to give it more body, so it takes longer for it to freeze. But, with liberal use of salt prior to the actual "cranking", it will freeze up quite nicely. Good product!

I bought the 510 (mainly for my dorm room)after I returned the 610, thinking that the 100W difference wouldnt matter much.

Let me tell you, the change was VERY noticeable. The highest power setting felt like medium on the 610 and it doesnt circulate air to well with medium or big sized rooms. The fan is still great but not worth it for the price in my opinion.

I returned the 510 back the next day and got the 610 again. If you are looking for a fan for a big room, pay a little extra and get the 610. Well worth it. Stronger and circulates air much better.

However, if you are looking for a small fan for a small room, you would be better off looking else where.

The fan works like it says it does. I leave it on all the time. I would like it to have more power but it is advertised as an air circulator, not a breeze creator.

I bought this model from Amazon 3 years ago. It is still working just as well as it did right from the box. Small in size, this thing can blow you away on high speed. It has excellent adjustability, speed control, and best of all....it's built to last.

I am truly impressed by this company's products.

I love everything about this measuring cup except that it's not stackable. I would buy other sizes if it were. Otherwise, it's great!

I love this measuring cup. I love that it is plastic as well. Very nice.

Although it is very expensive, the fan is worth it. Its not very big yet very powerful and can be eaisly moved from room to room.

It is perfect for almost any room, especially a dorm room. It circulates and provides cool air for the whole room. A very great alternative for air conditioners.

Fan is a tad bit bigger than I expected, but it works great! If I need another fan, for whatever reason, will be starting with Vornado's

The fan isn't really big but it puts out a good breeze when on high and it really isn't loud at all. If you can get over the high price you will enjoy the fan.

First of all, I never leave negative reviews of products on Amazon because I hate being a complainer. I felt the need to warn others about my experience with this model. I was so excited about this vacuum when I first got it. Everything was awesome. The suction is great, the cord is longer than other models. I didn't have any problems with it whatsoever and was prepared to happily keep this for years. After about 5 weeks of normal use, it started making a horrible noise and a strong burning odor filled my house. My husband took it apart and the belt had slipped off and was melting the plastic next to it. He fixed it once and then it happened again. I notified Amazon and they let me return it for a replacement (hoping it was just a freak incident). Well just yesterday, after 6 weeks of use, my 2nd vacuum did the exact same thing. I am so frustrated because I love this vacuum. I read some other reviews about problems with the belt. I told Amazon to let Bissell know about it so they can recall it. I have another Bissell model and have never had a problem with it, so this is in no way a negative review of the Bissell brand. I just wanted to let potential buyers know that there's a pretty good possibility that this could happen to other units as well. Please shop around before you take a chance on this.

im amazed at how much this vacuum sucks up. i just used it for the first time an hour or so ago and im very pleased with how well it works. the only thing i noticed is the vacuum gets very hot...maybe this is because it works so good though?? we will see but for now im very happy with my purchase. another plus is i selected the free shipping option and i got it in 2 days!! :)

I bought this hoping to wow my family with some 30 minute meals but this doesn't work great on my electric stove. If you leave it up too high for longer than a minute on the grill side the griddle coating burns off and stinks up the place. If you can't leave it up high you don't get good grill marks. I end up putting on high for a few minutes and then back down. Doesn't cook thick meat for chicken breast through well. You are better off finishing them in a real pan in the oven. The coating chips easily. I am thinking of going with cast iron as it is more work in the begining but I think it worth it in the long run.

This is a wonderful cooking piece. I've only used the Grill side so far. I cooked steaks and they turned out great. I would purchase this item again and give as a gift.

Just tried out the new griddle. It's awesome! I made two juicy sirloin steaks on it. They did not stick and did not burn. Came out perfectly medium rare. The clean up was very easy. This is my first griddle; I'm glad I chose this one.
