Pampered Chef is great about making things easy on people. I throw mine in the dishwasher all the time. I've had them for 6 years the look brand new.

C, I have not used any other kind so I don't have a comparison. It feels a little like a loofah if you've ever used one. There is definitely some texture to it and it gives a nice scrub. Only problem is that it started unraveling after only a few uses. Hope this helps.

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

Absolutely. This is the best one on the market. I've had several. None worked as good as pampered chef's and it's easy to clean. I've used it on all sorts of raw veggies (especially onions) and it does a great job. Cooked vegetables and meats should be a breeze.

I've actually owned both of them and the more expensive one is much more effective at cleaning your teeth. You get what you pay for in this case? The batteries do run down quickly on the cheaper version. I usually carry the cheaper version on vacation so that I don't have to bring my charger for my more expensive toothbrush. It's more convenient. :)

My neighbors have a pretty new Vitamix (not sure which model) so when I bought the Oster Versa I invited them over for a "blender challenge". We spent an afternoon making identical recipes in both blenders. The results were identical except that the Versa heated the soup recipe faster than the Vitamix. The only other difference I noticed is the Vitamix's lowest speed is much slower.

I've never used the Pampered Chefs containers, but I can tell you that the glass lock containers are excellent. The glass is really thick and the covers are weighty and lock very tightly. I have no hesitation in recommending.

Looks like the Gourmet Chef kitchen has a better sink, with fun knobs and a deeper basin (from pictures it looks that way - I didn't get to see it in person). I probably still would have chosen the one we got for storage reasons, as there is a good space beneath the Creative Cookery model that is large enough for a basket of extra toys.

I have bought both brands. I think they are pretty close to the same product. More of your preference then anything else.

Yes definitely. That's the main thing I use my larger pampered chef one for...onions and garlic. My buddy liked it so much I bought him the mini one. For onions, you'd probably have to quarter them first.

Yes it is comparable but I definitely prefer the original in-shower body lotion with shea butter. To me it is a much better product. Love all of Oil of Olay products but this is my favorite.

From what I can tell it is. I have one bought from the mall, and I bought my daughter one online, both react the same, except mine cost me about 50 dollars more! The hair serum is the same online as well, and it's 25 dollars less. We are happy.

U429085 is better quality and thicker. It is also more expensive. The difference is not really noticeable to me as I've bought both. But some reviewers note there is less humidity with food staying good longer.

The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better. It seems to have more copper coverage which is why I was attracted to it to begin with. I see no reason for the new one to be more expensive. I would get the older model if I were you. I love mine. I do hand wash it. I don't know why but it is so simple and quick. I just put a drop of soap in it and wash it out as soon as I take the food out. Takes about 30 seconds. It cleans easier if you do it while the pan is still hot. I would not buy the new expensive model if you can still get the old one. The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better.

I personally thought the cheaper version of this product didn't look as strong or sturdy as the one i have...I spent the extra $10 and this saucepan is very well put together...Again, personal preference...

Pricewise , it is about a 1/3 the cost of a Vitamix. I use it on a daily basis and it has performed very well and does just about everything as well as the more expensive Vitamix. The unit has sufficient power to make many of the Vitamix recipes with no problem. I feel that the unit performs as well as its more expensive, higher priced cousin. I believe the Vitamix has a lifetime warranty. I would rather save the few hundred dollars and get similar results utilizing the HeathMaster Elite.
