I bought this item some weeks ago and decided that before doing a proper review that I'd give it a good testing first of all to be as unbiased as possible. This morning - for example, I opened three jars which I was unable to open with my hands as I didn't have the strength.
This little machine is not only a "Must have" Kitchen gadget but also amazing as to how it works. It has two sets of jaws. The lower one clamps onto the jar and then the upper one clamps onto the lid and applies a 25lb pressure before turning in it's own axis. the tighter the jar, the better it seems to work..
Be prepared for a crack like rifle shot noise as the inside air vacuum is suddenly released from the tougher jars.
I like useful gadgets in the home and decided to purchase what looked like an unique item. Generally I've never been satisfied with Vegetable peeler's until some months back, I found one with a sturdy thick handle and good blade. So I now have two.
This model takes 4 AA sized batteries and it't both pretty powerful and feels nice and chunky in the hand. The plastic blade cover is pretty useless and easily falls off. Poor retaining clip - actually zilch clip.
To give it a fair trial; I got two young female friends as well as myself to test both peeler's on Potatoes; Tomatoes and Apples.
They both liked the Electronic model but felt (as I did) that it had a distinct preference for working at it's own pace ... Read More:

I am writing this review because I love the Tefal Quick Cup and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Both my husband and I use it on a regular basis and after 5 weeks we're still using the original cartridge which I think is excellent. As for energy saving then it remains to be seen if our electric bills go down, but at the same time as buying this kettle we did change all our light bulbs to energy saving ones, but in this climate I guess every little helps.
The only downside of the Tefal Quick Cup is how noisy it is, but since its only for a few seconds per cup its easy to put up with.
I have read mixed reviews but I read with an open mind and prefer to make my own mind up and in this instance I'm ... Read More:

I have purchased and have personal use of this product. Ideal for anyone who has any difficulties in lifting a Kettle and/or having to stand and wait for the boil. Simple as pushing a button, cup/mug is simply placed on the worktop under the nozzle the pre programmed amount of water is dispensed into the cup/mug and that's it. I fill the water in the tank and can leave the device with full peace of mind knowing the extra safety of this product will take care of things!... I notice few reviews have mentioned the key advantage over a standard kettle.
I am delighted with it!

This product is simply superb. The candles are attractive and look authentic (save when viewed from above!). They're safe and clean (they don't smell when you 'blow' them out). They instantly create a lovely mood. I think they are a great addition to any home. I particularly like the fact that you can sit outside with them and they never go out. They are my favourite purchase of 2008. Don't think twice - you'll never regret buying them.

For the price, this is brilliant set of scales. As one of the other reviews said, no longer do you have to bend down to look at eye level - its all there in front of you.
I particularly love the setting to zero when u have a bowl on the scales - great. I would recommend these to anyone yay
Hi purchased these luggage scales recently for a holiday to orlando florida.They were absolutely brilliant,very easy to use and accurate.We used them on the journey home to make sure we were not carrying too much hold or hand luggage, which in todays climate where air carriers are eager to screw every penny from passengers for excess luggage they were invaluable

This gadget is totally useless. There is an inadequate overlap on the screw top and consequently it leaks, or as happened to me comes loose when shaken, depositing its contents all over me and the kitchen. Don't buy this item!

It managed to make a hole in the first tin. After extricating it, with enormous difficulty (the rest button is "handily" inaccessible when it is stuck on a can) I tried a second can - it didn't even breach the can. Then it made a nasty crunching noise and is now in the bin.
