Home Appliance Reviews

My experience with this Daewoo microwave convection oven (model WM1010CC) is that I couldn’t wait to replace it. Absolutely a disappointment both as a microwave and as a convection oven. A member of our household had special dietary needs, and getting a convection oven (w/the microwave being an added bonus as a space saver) seemed like a great idea for heating/baking/crisping sundry menu items for him on those days where the rest of the family’s meal did not require “the big oven”. I wound up having to heat up the big oven anyway, because the oven setting on this unit simply didn’t cut it. For example, pizza burned on top, soggy/limp on crust. Gross. Waste of electricity, waste of pizza.

I am a vacuum freak. I am always checking out what is out there and the new features. I have 12 in my home. I like to switch them out. I have a dyson, kirby, rainbow, and a miele, just to name a few. So i know quality when it comes my way! I saw this vacuum on clearance at target for only $55. I figured what the heck. I have a $25 gift card so I bought it. I had a dirt devil canister and absolutely loved it. When I saw that chance that I could own an upright for so little I jumped on it…….

Pros. Great suction power, easy to handle on carpet and floors and not to complicated for anybody. I like the dirt indicator alot. Cleaning the dirt cup and filter was easy with a hand brush, 1 minute is all it took outside and it was a snap. I did a lot of shopping for over a month, Eureka, Brissel, Kenmoore, and Kirby did not compare for vacuum quality and suction for the price at Wal-Mart of $ 148.00. The warrenty is excellent on this too.

Cons. I am had just one and it was a easy fix. Found that a lot of my suction, about 20% was being taken and being applied to the wand. Easy fix, small plastic lunch bag tied around the wand end gave me full power in the suction at the working end of the vacuum. total time for my fix 20 seconds. one small lunch bag and one rubber band.

In my 40 plus years of appliance ownership, I have never experienced a failure rate similar to that with items produced by Electrolux the parent company of Frigidaire. I will not bore the reader with details of previous issues since this evaluation is centered around refrigeration, particularly the FRT18 series.
