the Bullwroker Classic is the best model. I keep a Classic
927571
I have several Bullworkers and the different "brands" that are Bullworkers. In regards to the newer "versions" that have hit the market the last few years, the Bullwroker Classic is the best model. I keep a Classic, Iso 7x, and the little known Steel Bow 28 at work. My coworkers and students prefer the Classic. It is not "inexpensive" but it will last a couple of generations of family before it wears out.

The Rival brand lasts forever. I've always made my own ice cream and use the 6 qt size.  My only complaint with this model is that the bucket is oval instead of round and, for some reason, the motor has a tendancy to sometimes release from the bucket.  Drove me crazy!  Took me a long time and a lot of messy re-starts to finally get it.  Just be sure that the motor and bucket are properly locked together and keep checking it.

This is my second Weber Q.  The first was the 200, several years ago.  My son borrowed it, fell in love with it and I never got it back! This one is just perfect for 1 person on a daily basis, or 2 or 3 people when I have guests.  As with the first one, it is easy to operate, the food turns out great everytime, and it looks good.  I absolutely love the grill:  asparagus, my favorite to grill, doesn't fall down through.  Shrimp, too. You can't go wrong with this series.  The only decision is which one.

This is the best version of this toaster oven.  I had the one that is listed as the newer version for a couple years but it doesn't have the cool retro look, like the rounded handle.  It also has some nice features that the other does not have.  Bought both the black and the red cuz these are seriously the best toaster ovens and may be the only one that has slots for the toast.  Must get 22703 or 22708 cuz the other model just isn't the same.

I just finished my first use of this model.  It is excellent. The first B&D we had was MM575 (18" 12 amp) which lasted four years.  Then we had the MM875 (19" 12 amp) for nine years.  It needed one repair but it was in warranty at the time.  I really liked the MM875 and didn't think it could get much better.  However this model (MM2000) is noticeably better in almost every way. For example:
- The blade is an inch longer (I measured).
- The hand release was right-handed before.  Now it works equally well with left or right handers.
- The chassis is noticeably smaller than the MM875 but is more powerful.
- It is quieter.
- It allows closer cutting with the edge feature.
- Height adjustment is the easiest I have ever seen by far.

To prior B&D owners, unlike the older models where you would just squeeze the handle and go, each time you are about to squeeze the handle, you first need to push and hold a large orange button and then squeeze the handle.  You then release the button.  It takes a second and is easy.  I saw a video where a prior owner could not get it started Im guessing because he didn't realize he needed to push the orange button first.

It would be helpful if B&D did a short video (3" - 5") for new and prior owners.

It's a beautiful knife that I kept putting off about buying, but all of the vanguards and vanguard zippers are 420C stainless steel. I can only say that the new 113 is going to be my favorite knife along with the classic 103 for skinning and butchering my game animals. As with all of Bucks US made knives, they all work, and all fit a job of some kind. The 120 is light enough to carry on a bayed hog hunt, and it's long enough to stick the larger 400 pound boars and kill them. All US made Buck knives are great for a great lifetime working knife. Buy the one you like best!

I've had several stainless steel gas grills. I would get 2 good years with them and maybe a couple more "less than pleased" years before breaking down and buying another. When I bought our current house it had a broilmaster hooked to natural gas mounted on the deck.  I looked like car, grates were rusty, paint was faded and the cover was ripped up.  I had my previous gas grill and was planning to chuck the broilmaster.

I bought some steaks one day to put on my stainless gas grill and found the burner fell apart during the move and had no choice but to cook on the old crappy looking broilmaster. I cleaned and oiled the grates and gave it a shot. It cooked evenly and got hot enough to to sear the steaks nicely.  I decided rather than tossing it into trash I'd see if I could get some new grates and "get by" with it.  I soon found how expencive and great this grill is. You can buy any part on the grill.  I replaced the grate with stainless, new pad for the lid handle, ceramic brickets, paint and cover. It looks brand new and works like a charm. The best part is that it was mounted on the deck in 1996 and after 19 years it is still going strong.

I'm not saying that it cooks better, tastes better or does anything any other grill can't do, but no other grill will do it for 20+ years.  Is doesn't have a bunch of bells and whistles, but I'll be using this grill until a tornado takes it away.  I am looking to buy the broilmaster charcoal grill for the fact these are built like tanks and charcoal tastes better.  I love a weber kettle and have a smokey mountain, but when I wanna cook something quick after work, this grill can't be beat.

I love this version of the Big Shot, I've had mine for several months now and use it constantly.  The wider 9" opening lets me send my dies and embossing folders through in any direction.  A bonus -- smaller cutting plates, the magnetic plate and basic platform you might have if you previously owned a standard sized Big Shot (like me) work perfectly in this Big Shot Plus. My new Plus cutting plates that came with the machine are still in great shape after tons and tons of use; I don't anticipate needing to replace them for awhile yet. Sizzix announced early in the year that the roller in this machine is newly redesigned specifically to provide a more even cutting experience and less warping of your plates.  There's definitely a whole lot less warping going on, although admittedly not completely gone.  It cuts evenly no mater where I place my dies on the platform, so as a result, I can run quite a few dies through at once with no issues as far as cutting goes. If you need to replace your standard Big Shot, consider the larger version, it is a work horse and beautifully built.  Absolutely no negatives here from me.

Spires are the best hopper in the business. Virtue is the best company in the business. The 260 holds more paint and is smaller than everything else that holds anything close to that.

Bottom line? There is nothing like it -- other brands attempt to match the quality and fall short! It cooks BOTH SIDES of your meat at the same time -- a real time saver! You can grill onion, bell peppers, then add chicken strips for Fajitas. You can slice lemon and grill fish fillets with lemon juice and light seasonings. You can cook hamburger patties, and grill vegetables -  add a touch of butter or garlic for vegetables. season to taste.  It is quick clean up with a CLEAN, NO SOAP WET dishcloth .Do not wait to clean it -- clean while moderately warm, steam clean with SQUARE WET CLEAN DISH CLOTH or several wet paper towels :)

I've had an OLDER MODEL for many years (update will post later)

Be sure to place the juice drain pan carefully so there is no leakage.

CONS - this model is for a single portion - you want to get the $50 to $60 model if you have two people. It cooks one chicken breast or two medium sized hamburger patties -- great for chicken tenders or chicken breast strips, or ONE man-sized burger.

CONS - this model# is NOT like the original at all -- the case / outside is plastic (not metal) and the plate is a copper beige color (not black). It is a much lighter weight grill.  I will update when I start cooking ON THIS MODEL of grill.

You love them or hate them. I love them. I dampen the leather from the back side for the first few rides and that shortens the otherwise lengthy break-in so that it conforms to my bones. I mostly do short rides but occasionally loaded tours.  I've tried the synthetic saddles that come with bikes and have never found one that works. If you don't abuse your Brooks (don't leave it out in the sun and rain for months and do put a little dressing on it), it should last for decades. I have five of them spanning 46 years and they all still work. My first Brooks came on a cotter cranked Raleigh back in 1970 and it does have a few cracks from being out in the weather on bike racks, but I can still ride it.  I have both the special and the regular B17 models and few others including a Pro and a B66 (three speed model with springs) and they are all wonderful. The special has gorgeous copper rivets. The older models had raised (embossed) lettering on the metal label but they switched to a cheaper flat label. I don't know what they use today. If you want more comfort and don't mind the weight, get Champion Flyer, a B17 with springs. It is by far my most comfortable mountain bike/road saddle. A few years ago I rode on one for 14 hours on dirt mountain roads and endless desert washboards before I found a place to camp. It was mounted on a White Bros Air post, but the air post only works on the worst bumps, the saddle springs handled the washboards. I was so lucky that I had a Brooks Flyer instead of a plastic monster.

Best model ever. I have tried other brands and designs. These are the best. Don't waste your money with the shorts, get this and cover with the proper shorts for your sport.

I have the older model (non-locking version) and am jealous of the person I who received this. Its well designed and hasn't leaked.

I have a 1980's version of this model which is better than this model. The newer model, this one, is cheaper made, but i must admit it works just as well so far. For people who say it's hard to pump, i say the old one was the same until you break it in. I am a fan of the older style, but the newer one has a few better things. You really should buy the stock for it, makes it allot more accurate.

the is the greatest, it doesn't sweat like older models, you can set desired temperature, a new feature, crispy tator totes, etc.  Overall, it is fabulous.  The dome is smaller and more manageable.  The base is much better than the older model making it easier to clean, overall I would recommend this to everyone.  This is the 5th one I have owned.

I've owned this replica for a year and have used it in multiple games and all types of weather. It is very dependable, shoots accurately, has a powerful kick, and is easy to reload (both the BBs and the CO2). I definitely prefer it over my Green Gas replicas. Only drawback is that there does not seem to be a lot of aftermarket internals for upgrading.

This is the second time I've ordered this model and I'm glad that it's still made. I had the original for so long that I can't remember when I bought it but I know it was three houses ago. I absolutely hate two cycle technology as it's primitive, persists only because it's cheap and is highly polluting. If the build quality of this purchase is the same as my original purchase, I'll have this for another ten years or so. Yes, this requires more maintenance but it's worth it to me. I use this thing year round as I'll blow light snow off the steps during the winter and blow leaves off the low hanging gutters whenever needed.

The last model even retained it's original spark plug, I just cleaned the plug every spring. That and keeping the trans oil level topped off was the sole maintenance it needed. I practiced some bad habits like leaving the gasoline in the tank year-round. Nevertheless, all I needed was a shot of starter fluid for the first start after any period of non-use. Started quickly after that.

I'll post any difference from past experience. No news is good news.
