Love at first shred, July 14, 2011

This review is from: Royal 14-Sheet MicroCut Shredder (MC14MX) (Office Product)

I traded in my Aurora As662C, a cross cut shredder, for the Royal MC14MX. I was able to find it at Sams club for 100 which was an amazing price for the product. I did not want to spend 300 or more on a paper shredder, which is the price for many that I searched for. I run a small counseling business, and need to have security in shredding medical information. This product is a major updgrade to my previous shredder. The cross cut shredder was good, but I feel much more secure in the micro shredder of the MC14MX. I previously experienced jamming of papers when I tried to shred 3 or more sheets at one time. This product eliminated the time and the unjamming I had to do before. My major pros: very fast, quite, enormously large capacity for the waste basket. Cons: the large size could be too large for a small space...but this is not a problem for me. The rollers make it easy to move.

Very nice shredder, June 22, 2011

Do not believe the "other" ones review on here. Some people need to lay on a couch and consult a professional. If you plan to use this for home use, it is perfect. Is it a tad slow? Maybe, but it shines when it shreds. This should be more than enough for home use. And the good part is because it shreds a piece if paper into 1500 micro pieces, you can just throw it in your recycle trash can with no worries about bad people putting these pieces back together. Not gonna happen. This is a great machine. And I bought it at Sams Club for 99.88. Even better! The "tinkly" noise whom one person was concerned with is normal for the machine. All that noise is are the cutters doing what they are suppose to do.

Looks Like a Good Shredder, November 11, 2010

Received the Royal MC14MX on the date promised. Opened and unpacked,read the short, straight-forward instruction manual and shredded a waiting pile of receipts and junk mail. So far, so good. It is not super fast but fast enough unless you have a giant pile to shred. Was able to shred 2 unopened credit card offers at a time. I really like the small size it shreds to: about 3/8" x 1/8" along with the ease of dumping the waste - just remove the bin, dump it, replace it and shred some more.

Shredder does what it says it does and the basket is great and easy to clean. Just remember to close it back to keep it operating

I recently purchased this shredder and it working real well. The motor is not real noisy and I like the fact that it sleeps when I am not using it. For the price, it seems, so far, to be a good buy.

Perfect for small spice/herb grinder/mincer, October 29, 2001

Brian Massey (SF Bay Area, USA) -

This review is from: Cuisinart MM-2M Mini Mate Chopper / Grinder (Kitchen)

Cooking Thai, Viet, Chinese, Indian dishes requires quick chopping/mincing/grinding/puree of *multiple* spices. I searched all over for something of small size for per-meal quantities. This is it! Just a few pulses, and you have minced garlic, galanga, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, chili peppers, whatever. Works good too on small quantities of nuts, and even coffee beans, in a pinch. Another review says several pieces to wash; I don't get that, you just have the included bowl and blade thingee to rinse. The motor top doesn't get messy because it's on top; you just sponge it off when done. Love mine; inexpensive and to purpose. Perfect for that mini-spice/herb/food-processor you've been looking for. Enjoy!

My first Mini Mate died within 60 days because a metal piece fell of it. The replacement I received (pay attention, you pay shipping for sending it and a 10$ check) broke after being used twice.

Makes purees very well, but hard to clean, October 4, 2003

Don Anderson (Seattle WA USA) -

This review is from: Cuisinart MM-2M Mini Mate Chopper / Grinder (Kitchen)

I tried two other small food processors, the KitchenAid Chef's Chopper and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus for making two to four servings of pesto, cilantro sauce etc, but pureeing these small amounts of ingredients in the approximately 3 cup work bowls was difficult because the blade throws the ingredients on the sides. Scraping the ingredients down several times helps but the finished product was still not smooth enough.

The MM-2M works much better for making these small amounts of sauces. You still have to scrape the ingredients down once or twice but the puree is much smoother. The blades turn much faster than the other two processors and there are also two speeds. You can reverse the blade holder to choose a blunt or sharp leading edge. The blunt edge works well for pureeing.

The unfortunate drawback to this processor is that the motor housing forms the top of the work bowl. As a result, quite a bit of the finished product ends up coating the end of the motor housing. If you are not extremely careful when cleaning the motor housing you will get water and perhaps food into it. If you're just chopping relatively dry ingredients like coffee or dry spices, this would not be so much of a problem.

Very Noisy, January 7, 2007

bz (USA) -

This review is from: Yard Machines 121R 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator/Tiller (Lawn & Patio)

It starts. It spins. It gets the job done. It is the cheapest model you can find. That is about it. Nothing special.

Pros:

If you have something stuck in the wheels, the clutch engages. So, it will not force the engine to stall. It is not heavy either. You can fold the handle in half to save space.

Cons:

It starts easily if you follow the instruction. But it is very difficult to pull the rope. It is not smooth at all. It feels like there is something stuck inside the pulley all the time. Every time I try hard to pull the rope, I feel like I am going to break the thing.

Another thing is that this engine is very very noisy. I can compare this with my lawn mower and string trimmer. My lawn mower is not that noisy at all. My string trimmer is kinda noisy. This cultivator is extremely noisy! You can lose your hearing with this engine. My neighbor actually came over and got mad. So, be prepare if you are going to use it all weekend.

There are better choices for your money, November 11, 2007

J. Thompson "Book Worm" (Severn, MD USA) -

This review is from: Yard Machines 121R 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator/Tiller (Lawn & Patio)

I had my #121 Cultivator for just over one year when it broke. I had only tilled our 400sqft garden with it two times before it went kaput and am very disappointed with its durability.

Pros:

- It is inexpensive. Having said that, there are several other models comparably priced.

Cons:

- As another reviewer noted, the pull is exceptionally hard. I'm a big guy, but it always required a tremendous effort to pull the starter.

- It doesn't have a very deep till depth - only 5 inches. I am going to look for a new tiller with at least 8 inches.

- It is very noisy.

- The tines tend to go along the surface of the soil vice dig in. As a result, you spend a lot of time man-handling the unit to try to get the tines to turn over the soil.

- It only lasted for two uses. This fall, something in th edrive train broke. The tines no longer spin, the pull is no longer connected to the motor, etc. While it may still be under warranty, I'm not sure that I want to go through the effort of repairing.

From the research that I have done, for the money I'd recommend that you skip this tiller and take at look at the Ryobi cultivators with the "JustAddSand" feature.
