  • WenX - Works!

    The quality is amazing. The unit is very well made. The handle,the base,feed slot,meat holder and slot holder and turn stye is all hard plastic. The parts fit perfectly, and operate together like a symphony. The vacuum clamp really holds it tight. The short handle makes the grinding easy on your arms. It does a extremely good job at grinding the mean finely. The downsides are that this is not a good grinder for the elderly. You must have some muscles to use this. Also you must have a smooth surface or the suction cup will not hold very well. Also you have to make sure there is another around you due to the juice from the meat which will squirt out. Most grinders have a longer handle that extends over the edge of the counter. Bummer. The design is absolute genius. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

  • Yvonne Gorniak - SodaStream since July 2012

    I ordered my SodaStream in July 2012 and have been using it ever since. I've read quite a few of the negative reviews and I just want to address some of the issues. I do NOT own stock in the company so my comments are just as a consumer.

  • June49 - Scott Pratt has become one of my favorite authors!!

    Another good story from author Scott Pratt! Just like the Joe Dillard series, Darren Street is a character that is likeable and I hope the author plans on more stories for Mr. Street. The story is suspenseful and a good cast of characters. Darren Street is a good guy who has a troubled childhood and rises above it. However, it does play into who he is and how he reacts to different issues. I like that he is not afraid to stand up to anyone no matter what the cost. He gets into trouble and framed for murder when he encounters someone who he has a bad history. Do not want to spoil the story for anyone just highly recommend this book. I look forward to more books from Mr. Pratt as so far I have read all his books. A very enjoyable read!!!

  • Wm D. S. - Unbelievable!!!

    I have suffered with constant constipation for many years and I've tried it all, fiber every day, fruit every day, fiber cereal every day, yogurt every day, and finally I started trying different probiotics. During my trial and error attempts with probiotics I have experienced the same problems as everyone else, gas and discomfort etc.. I found one probiotic that worked wonderfully (centrium pronutrients) but then it was discontinued sadly...
