Does anyone know how this compares to the Prepology Collapsible Colanders from QVC?

Whilst I have never owned the Prepology Collapsible Colander, I can vouch 100% that OXO is the "Rolls Royce" of kitchen gadgets. I have owned my colander for a couple of years and have absolutely no problems with it. Hope this helps you in your decision process.

Never used the ones from QVC, but the oxo brand (I have 2) are fantastic, and I have had mine for a few years

The materials are the same, and most of the silicon cookware is about the same thickness. The main difference then would be with the handles. The OXO Good Grips Colander had a metal support ring for the the top edge as well as the handles. The handles also have plastic molded around them for a larger grip surface. So unlike the Prepology Colanders I've seen, you can't "ball and roll" this one up. The OXO seems to be fairly rigid, it holds its shape quite well and doesn't slouch. The rigid top & handles allows you to hold the colander and shake water out. Which may be a bit more difficult with hot food such as noodles with the Prepology brand. If you'd like a colander that's more flexible, go with the Prepology, if you'd like one that's got the rigid top and extended handles, go with the OXO.

I saw your post about the yogourmet yogurt maker. I also want one I can use with the SCD . Have you found a more suitable one yet?

Here's a nice comparison for those thinking about getting this or a Vitamix. I found it useful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI0PEviX0qg

I would guess that they're comparable. This one is $5 less expensive though. I can tell you I use my prochef multiple times a day and am very happy with the quality for the price. I've had $30 scales in the past that have gone glitchy quickly with my excessive use.

The difference is in the quality of the plastic and the sharpness of the blades. This grater is a heavier plastic, so it's not wobbly in your hand, nor does it flex like cheaper types, or even some stainless types. This is the same type of grater you see brought to your table in Italian Restaurants, like the Olive Garden. If you purchase this one you won't be unhappy, and it washes easily in your dishwasher with no problems. My dishwasher is set at an extra hot water temperature and it hasn't harmed this grater in the slightest.

We use a few different types of holders. One is shaped like a mini pail with cover and we found it more of a pain keeping it assembled. The other issue is whether the spindle in the container will fit the paper or plastic tube which the bags are wound onto. We find that the best style is the soft zipper case. These bags fit fine. These bags are easy to pull out and separate. The writing on the bag tells which side is up. It is just a better product than any we have used before. We found the hard plastic shapes to be more of a bother, falling off, or just clunky. Yes I would assume these bags will fit most any container. We use a few different types of holders.

They are two different brands, but the makers look almost identical. I compared these two and chose Eurolux due to the cheaper price. I think these two have no significant difference. My friend has a CucinaPro and it works just like Eurolux.

Sorry. I am not familiar with the fridgesmart products. However, assuming that it is similar to other Tupperware products, this prepworks is a little cheaper in manufacture. However, it works very well at preserving leafy vegetables. That is all I have used it for.

It depends on what you want to cook, I think both do similar things, the Rmertopf is bigger, more traditional, the glazing makes cleaning the chef a bit more easier.

It's a strong well made colander. It will hold rice, quinoa or anything else you wish to strain or put in it.I've used it many times, put it in the dishwasher and never have I had a problem with it... It's well worth the price.

difference imo is not actually in price but in quality . the regular rubbermaids tend to get stained either by sauce or just because its worn out. these premier actually don't get stained they stay as new . i have the 1st stain resistant that came out and loved them, so decided to buy these for my mom. hope you do as well :)

I believe newyorkchef got the dimensions just about right according to my measurements. It does fold up nicely and has four wheels that turn which helps with going around corners and such. My favorite thing is it is so light to use yet so strong that it can carry a pretty heavy load. I have carried a 24-pack of bottled water plus my groceries in it and it does just fine and is easy to use because the cart itself is so light weight. I also use it to tote my laundry back and forth to our apartment laundry room and various other types of loads and it has held up wonderfully! I am thinking of getting a second one to keep in the car. I hope if you decide to get one you will enjoy your's as much as I do mine.

I just spoke with Cuisinart, and got some good info. First off, thank you, Swidgen, for noticing that the 10S comes with a flat lid whereas the 2007N doesn't - - Cuisinart confirmed this. (For those who don't know, the flat lid comes in handy when making things like hummus or pesto, that don't need the push-chute). Also, the additional weight of the 10S is due to a 600w motor, compared to a 500w motor in the 2007N. Knowing this, will get the 10S, especially since it will sit next to my white Vitamix, and they will make a perfect-looking pair. :-)

Yes - that's the model I have. I also bought the 5.5 qt (wide bowl) for my vacation home & have found out it works well with this model also. I really like the smaller bowl - it's good for whipping cream, and smaller batches of baked goods.

I am not sure if there is difference between the other cookers and the "professional". The difference in the liners is that some are non-stick and some are porcelain. We LOVE the non-stick. Cleans up so easily, but there is the potential for chipping of non-stick so make sure no metal is used in them. Also, just a tip, we have 2 of Nesco cookers. One has a removable cord and one doesn't. I would make sure to get the removable cord in the future. It makes storage so much easier. One other tip, you can order replacement inserts (cookwells) from the NESCO site.

both are probably decent, generic versions may be made with cheaper metals. Klean kanteen tends to be thicker and higher quality for long term use. The ones given out might be just as nice though.

I own both versions: gave the original to my parents and by the time I went to buy my replacement, the short version came out. Short Jar is the newer version, likely meant to mimic the newer Vitamix squat jar type. With the short jar, it barely fits under cabinets, but it does fit. Personally, I think it looks better too. Base of the units are identical, except in coloring. Short version has red accents. While I have not done a side by side comparison, I get the feeling that the tall jar blends a bit better. I think the blades are identical between the 2 jars, but the more narrow profile of the tall jar seems to suck material towards the blades a bit better. I feel like I've had to use the plunger a bit more in the squat jar, since it's wider and didn't seem to homogenize as well by itself. At the end of the day, however, for me, the short jar allows me to keep it on the counter and actually use it on a whim, vs. stuff it away and have it fall out of mind. So, in terms of living with it, I'd vote for short.
