Black & Decker FHV1200 Replacement Filters 2-Pack

Convenient purchase
I bought my Black & Decker mini-vacuum mainly for my mother, as it is lightweight and easy to use to perform small house cleaning tasks, such as picking up crumbs in the kitchen. The mini-vacuum itself is useful, although it must be re-charged very frequently, so one cannot expect to cover much territory in cleaning kitchen floors or car interiors. However, if one has already purchased the mini-vacuum, it is helpful to have refills on hand. I find that I need to brush off dust from these filters and gently wash them from time to time in order to allow the mini-vacuum to operate effectively. I recommend these filters to anyone who purchased a Black & Decker mini-vacuum.

Found
I found these hard to find filters for my hand held vacuum. I was able to get the best price. They arrived on my door step, quickly and undamaged. This is the way to shop!

CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT
These replacement filters are perfect for my Black & Decker handheld vacuum. These vacuums are so terrific I bought another for upstairs as well. Great product.

Black & Decker Food Processor, 8-Cup

Great Product for the price
This f.p. is somewhat noisy, but an excellent value. (I got mine at WalMart for $25). It is the same as the B&D fp1800b model, but is slightly larger (10.7 x 17.3 x 7.5 inches ;7 pounds VS 7 x 10 x 15 inches ; 6.5 pounds), meaning the newer version probably has a bit more plastic parts. Otherwise, it is identical. It is WONDERFUL at chopping onions and slicing veggies (potato gratin is now a BREEZE to make).

If you want EVEN chopping, without mush, PULSE the f.p., then run it for a bit, and then PULSE again. This mixes the vegetables, so you don't end up with chunks.

It does a great job with pasta dough and pie crusts, but again, use the PULSE function.

Model Number FP1700B-- Make Sure You Have the Right Model Number
I was a bit hesitant about buying this food processor because I read the reviews for all the models and all of the reviews for the various models seem to have been dumped in together by Amazon under one UPC. However, once I had the Model Number it all came clear.

Contents of the box: 1) the base, 2) the processing bowl, 3) chopping blade, 4) slicing blade, 5) disk stem, 6) food pusher, and 7) lid with chute.

I got this for the specific purpose of making nut butter. I'm still trying to perfect the process but I'm pretty impressed by the food processor. There's two buttons on the first. The one on the left (facing the base) is a stop/pulse button. The other is an on button. I use the pulse button except then I'm trying to mush things up together.

The unit was easy to assemble. Sit the work bowl on the base with the handle a little to the right of the lock, slide it to the left and it locks into place. If you are using the chopping blade just...

Just what I needed!
As I believe other reviewers have noted, this is not a water-tight food processor. However, it works great for heavier sauces and solid foods. If you hold the lid down tightly, you can do thinner sauces with minimal leakage (remember to put the tamper in too...). I make chopped salads, flours, and sliced veggies without any trouble. There are only two people in my house, so the size is perfect. If I were cooking for three or more, it might be a bit small.

Note that this is not a high-powered processor. Sauces will not be the creamy smooth they are on your favorite food blogs or in cookbooks. They will be edible, but not great. This is a processor for chopping and combining solid foods; sauces are a risk you'll take yourself. (Specifically, I've made several cashew-based, vegan sauces with unimpressive results.)

For the price, this is a great addition to an amateur kitchen.

Black & Decker JW200 Lids Off Jar Opener, White

Black & Decker Lids Off
I bought this product back in May of 2003, when it first came out. I saw it advertised on TV. My wife had been complaining for years that she could no longer open jars, and she had to wait for me or my stepson to get home, to open them. Since her Birthday is in May I decided to buy one for her Birthday. At the time this was a new product and I could not find in any stores. I ordered it from the Black&Decker web sire for $49.99 with free shipping.
I gave this to my wife on her birthday and she loves it. She uses it all the time for the jars that she can not open. All you do is sit a jar in the machine, close the holders on the bottom of the jar, and then lower the top down to the lid. Then you push a button and it turns the lid and takes it off. A great invention, what took so long for it to come out? I see you now can get a good deal on Amozon for only $39.99 don't pass up this great deal.
My only complaint is that the top dosn't raise high enough to open soda bottles.

Much-Needed Gadget
I bought one of these devices for my wife and one for my mother and both enjoy them very much. It may sound odd, but as folks get older a simple task such as opening a jar can be quite a challenge, especially for people living alone. The same is true for people of all ages who suffer from arthritis or other problems that restrict hand strength. This product is ideal for such people. We found it to work exactly as advertised. It was simple to use, required almost no effort and opened even the most difficult-to-open jars, large and small. No more banging, prying or using hot water. My 89-year-old mother had no trouble using it with only minimal explanation. And now my daughter-in-law wants to buy two more--one for her mom and one for herself. It remains to be seen if this product will survive the test of time, but so far it seems to work fine.

It works
I bought this on sale and was pleased to see that it works. My wife is very petite (under 100 lbs.) and when I am not home sometimes unable to open sticky jars. Well, this will open anything you can fit into it (pretty much any jar commonly used). I have used it a couple of times for wet jars rather than look for the rubber grip. I like it too. Would be wonderful for anyone with grip or strength limitations. It does take up a lot of counter space, however.

Black & Decker T4569B 4-Slice Toaster, Black

Perfect Bagel Toaster
I love bagels and primarily use a toaster for that one purpose (with some toast thrown in from time to time). This toaster is exactly what I needed as it actually caters to bagels without substituting quality in other applications. Functionally it's pretty flawless. I can get my bagels toasted evenly and at the correct brownness with little effort. It's a nice looking modern toaster, and while it might not have every whiz-bang feature that more expensive models offer, it does what it does humbly and with excellence.

The toaster slot size is 5.375 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.

PROS:

1) Dual trays for bagels or toast with self-adjusting guides for thinner items like sliced bread

2) Cancel button that makes it easy to eject something mid-way through. This is especially handy as you're getting to know the toaster and how to get your desired level of toasting.

3) A bagel button for toasting just the inside of the bagel. There are...

Outstanding
This toaster is exactly what I wanted and expected. Bagels are perfect, toast is wonderful, and frozen items toast great with the frozen button. I really like the cancel button when something doesn't work. Love my toaster.

SLOT IS A LITTLE TO DEEP
Toaster works great and we love the cancel button, but many things that we toast do not pop up past heating elements, where you can safely retrieve them. I have many light burns trying to get things out. I finally sat a pair of tongs by the toaster to get items out. Yesterday my wife put some thin buns in and one slid by the cradle and went to the bottom of toaster. I had to unplug toaster, turn toaster over and shake it out. We love how it looks on the counter and it does a great job toasting, but you have to be extremely careful removing products.
