how does it compare to kitchen aid colander?

Its better for fruits and vegetables because the mesh provides better and quicker rinsing, cleaning and draining. Its also easier to clean after use.

Basket measures 13.5 wide. Don't know the Kitchenaid. Biggest complaint is also biggest asset - the mesh is smaller than it's predecessor, which is both good and bad. Harder to clean but also holds smaller things. I use it for rinsing fruits and veggies. I have a OXO over the sink colander for pasta which has holes drilled in stainless steel, not mesh. The Cuisinart is mesh.

Actually it is a colander, as well as a strainer. It is not as fine a strainer as the flower measure and sifter items you buy, but I use it when making a cake to sift flower, sugar, baking powder etc. mix and it works for me. I use this "baby" (don't know how I ever cooked without it) for everything...from spaghetti to potatoes. It is wonderful and holds up under many of my uses. It is sturdy and easy to clean using a food brush after draining soft or gooey things.........I LOVE mine and highly recommend it. I hope this helps you Alan.....Happy cooking or what ever!

I personally think the Nutrimill is easier to clean, as the only thing that gets dirty really is the top hopper and the bottom bowl, both of which clean up easily, and it's very practical because you can use it at different settings for other things, and it takes up less space on the counter too.

Yes it is. Though sometimes I just give it a quick wash. It's a nice, sturdy colander.

I have the Rubbermaid and I love it. The reason I went for it was the bigger pad - I have a lot of cleaning area, but it might not fit behind a toliet. The pad is thick and holds a lot of fluid. If I were you, I'd compare the pads of each product and see which you'd prefer to be scrubbing with. It's really the only difference.

The Pizzazz Plus is just the way the manufacturer is branding the newer version of the appliance, indicating that it can cook pizza "plus" lots of other things, like chicken wings, etc. The newer model has an improved timer, in my opinion-the older model that I owned years ago had kind of a touchy timer. Also, the non-stick finish seems to be better on the newer model. Get the "Plus" model, even if it's a few dollars more-it's worth it. You will use it a lot!

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 grew up using the Kitchen Aid mixers in my mom's & grandma's kitchens, both of which had the tilt head. When I got my own as a wedding gift (I didn't pick it out), it has the bowl lift rather than the tilt head. My husband likes it well enough, I guess, but I am not a huge fan of it. I much prefer being able to tilt the head back and reach in to scrape the bowl, because it seems like with the bowl lift I have to not only lower the bowl, but basically take it all the way off the stand in order to really be able to get in there and scrape the sides.

I believe they are the same-- This is one of the best kitchen tools I have. You won't be disappointed!

Maestro: The plastic model works well, But for the few extra $'s (10.00) I would get the stainless if I had to do it again.DO NOT put the plastic version in the dishwasher. If you take it apart and do this it will loose its shape.

Truly a personal preference however i have had mixmaster for years Tried the kitchen aid and donated it to goodwill and bought another mixmaster

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 found I didn't love this model- dried out my rice too much so I bought a zojirushi instead. It has a rubber knob you pull and the top pops out for easy cleaning more expensive but I like it better

The largest colander is 9 3/4" across at the top, 8 3/4" across at the bottom, and 9" deep. The smallest colander is 8 1/2" across at the top, 8 1/4" across the bottom, and 3 1/2" deep. Hope this helps you! :)

I have owned both. I first used the Littermaid and various aftermarket upgrades found here on Amazon. Its no comparison to the Litter Robot. They are very well made out of a solid Rubbermaid feel while the Littermaid is a flimsy plastic that regularly broke down on us. Also with the Litter Robot we could go a week without cleaning vs 2 days with the Littermaid and thats with 2 cats. You can call the LItter Robot office since they are built in the US and will answer any further questions you may have.

The Kitchen Aid toaster I bought appears to be a dufferent model. My problem was that shortly after buying the toaster, the lever would not stay down. It was in warranty and Kitchen Aid replaced it without any fuss. _ Ed

Don't have mine anymore. The plastic handle broke on mine (broke several times & I was able to glue/tape to keep using it but not the last time) & I replaced with Cuisinart Classic Pro (made in China) which I like better than the KitchenAid. The Cuisinart was only $20 more than replacing the KitchenAid plastic bowl with handle.
