I have a black and decker electric rototiller that I have used for 30 years and now it's about ready to give up the ghost. Is this model worth the $$?

This is a good buy. The only drawback is that the machine is too heavy to move when it is loaded with sand.

YES! I love mine. It is easy to use and quick to set up. I use mine to till small areas when I'm ready to re-plant. I have a big garden area and use a big gas tiller to till the whole thing in the spring, but when I want to till a small area to get early plants in I use this tiller. It will do a great job for you.

Yes....I have used it quiet a bit at this point and it has done a good job. For some tough dirt I have had to wet it down before I till and add weight to the front to help dig in but the tiller has stayed strong and runs great.

I just bought mine a couple months ago, and, as it sounds, you are a kitchen gadget lover, too. I had a Cuisinart that I used it to death in less than 2 years. I hoped by the Kitchen-Aid reputation (and you can't beat nearly half price) that it will take the use at least as well if not better. There's a bit more to this set, too. I'm thrilled with it so far, and I'll bet you would be, too! Happy Holidays!

Hi Peg, I'm sure the Black and Decker is a fine product, but I know nothing about it. My Mantis has been wonderful, though. I've given it rough usage over three summers, cutting through hard turf and rocky soil, making flower and vegetable garden spaces. No overheating ever, and when it does get stuck on a root tangle, or fist-sized rocks, its breaker stops the Mantis instantly. Your question has reminded me how much I like and trust it.

I would tell you to avoid this blender, because the electric motor is designed to burn right after waranty, but you already bought it. It does not come with this to my knowledge. For anybody else reading this post, please do not buy this cr**.

I chose this item based first on brand. I trust Black & Decker. I also chose it for its size and price. The majority of the reviews on it were positive with the only real negative reviews coming from the mess that the steam makes. I haven't found this to be a problem.

I had the Haier model for about six months before it stopped working for me. I replaced it with the Danby and have been using it for about a year. It handles a larger load, and the agitator does a much better job of cleaning than the pulse action on the Haier.

I don't think that I am the person to answer this question. I would suggest going to the Black and Decker web site and iquiring there. I would think that they could appropriately advise you. Thank you for placing your trust in me. I LOVE the Gizmo!

If you're going to spend that much, buy a MIELE brand. I'm looking to replace ours, which is about 10 years old. It's easy to use and lightweight with great suction. I'm looking to see if any other brands are equivalent and cheaper possibly for replacement. I saw your comment and thought I'd comment.

10 vacuums in 50 years? I have had only 3 in 36 years and the first one was an inexpensive Kenmore, only lasted about 3 years. I have had 2 Electrolux, need to buy another cannister vacuum now, but was weighing the $$$$ Miele against the $$ Hoover. I want one that will go another 10 to 15 years. After reading the comments, I am not sure the Hoover is going to fit the bill.

It's built pretty well and may hold up to that kind of use, but ultimately it's a home machine. It's a calculated risk. It may hold up for years. It may not. Regular cleaning and de-liming should improve your odds.

I hate to say this, but just throw it away. I have been using the cheap Black & Decker and it makes great coffee - they only last a year but for $20 they are worth every penny. I truly hate Cuisinart products and will never buy them. Such a great Company at one time. Now garbage products.

Karcher power washer is junk used mine about 3 times and now will not work properly warranty is for 1 year after that you are screwed when I called for tech support and went thru the automated phone crap they asked if washer was more than 1 year old to press #4 i think when I did the call was dropped they hung up. I have had a Coleman Powermate for 10 or more years and it still works but wanted something with more power but Coleman is out of business and the Karcher sounded like a good deal but I was WRONG! buy a gas powered model made by Honda or at least one with a Honda motor install a gas shut off valve in fuel line use sta-bil in the gas and at end of season run the tank and carb dry Home depot sells a quart can of leaded gas pour it in run the motor for a while to make sure all of this crap gas they sell now is gone turn the shut of valve to the off position and run it till it stops and you should be fine if you can remove the carb bowl and pour out any gas in it. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for but in the case of Karcher look for something else. if the gas washer is to much work I have seen washer for as low as $99.00 at that price if it only lasts 5-6 times you are not out that much cash. when i finally found some one who knew Karchers explained my problem it did not take him long to tell me the faulty part was $65.00 plus shipping at that point I told him I am not spending that kind of money and then have something else go wrong and at 65.00 I am over half way to a cheap washer. I hope this helps

generally it is a good buy but as with all black and decker products it is a little hit and miss if you are doing things around the house and need an occasional accessory to do something this is fine but if you are in an industrial environment where you are using it a lot go with something that's more heavy duty and built specifically for what you are doing hope that answers your questions thanks

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

I have also had a Panasonic wet/dry shaver very similar to this for about 15yrs (use it once a wk on face and twice a month on head) and I'm finally looking to replace it with another Panasonic for sure. (Posted this in support of the quality/longevity)

A few things. If it's several years old and it's running all day, the motor could have burned out. After usage, was the humidifier cleaned including wiping the blades? Was it ever stored where there is dampness such as a basement? Several factors. I've had mine over 8 years and it's a table top. When it goes, I know I got my money's worth and will buy another unit. It is NOT worth it to replace the motor IF that is the problem as it's too costly. Good luck.

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.
