Advantages: Very easy to clean, quick consistant results Disadvantages: none
...I've had my Breville TR40 for about a month now and I wish I'd bought it sooner!
My old sandwich maker had finally bitten the dust after it lost it's non stick plating, probably due to my having to scrape the contents out on nearly every occasion-not so with the Breville TR40.
This cafe style appliance is medium sized but amongst the smallest in the range of new pannini style toasters, with an attractive chrome finish.
It has quality non-stick plates which unlike run-of -the -mill sandwich toasters, means you don't have to chisel out your sandwich with sharp kitchen device! It has an automatically adjustable floating top plate which means that your sandwich will not get squashed to smithereens, however thick it is, or whatever the filling.
The floating hinge can be adjusted to either sit on top on the sandwich...

Advantages: Good storage of bits and bobs Disadvantages: Cleaning
...Once our 20 year old Kenwood food processor had given up the ghost we were on the look out for the perfect replacement. I was tempted by the celebrity endorsement, (Worrall Thompson) for the Breville at £69.50 from Argos - it had more blades than its competitors and higher wattage but what swung it was the generous quantities it could accommodate, 1kg dry weight and 1.5 litre liquid, with a liquidizer taking 1.5 litres. Perfect for when hubbie makes the Christmas pud. These measurements beat the present Kenwood food processor overall (even though its dry weight capacity is 1.3 kg - liquid is only 1.3 litres and liquidizer only 1 litre) which retails for about the same price as the Breville.
It has all the usual blades and gadgets, slicing, chipping, grating, kneading, chopping, together with citruspress, juice extractor, sieve...

Advantages: can extract juice from most types of fruit Disadvantages: huge, bulky, must peel the oranges, lots of froth, v. time consuming
...Let me state first what I wanted this juice extractor for: I like having a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. I currently use a Philips comfort citruspress which requires cutting the oranges into halves and manually pressing them down. I really tfancied he type of juice extractors I have seen in bars: all is required is to drop the whole orange in and juice comes out at the other end (quickly & no effort).
This is not what the Breville Anthony Worrall Thompson Juice Extractor JE15 does !
It seems that the fruits are grated and spun to maximise the juice extractions (I thought the extraction was via a press): this means that the oranges (and other citrus fruits) have to be peeled first.
Having discovered that I could not insert whole unpeeled oranges, I also then realised that:
a) it is really huge & bulky (many...

As many of you will know, I'm partial to the odd beer or two...although, maybe unusual would be a more apt word. Anyway, on scouring the beer cellar for something suitable to douse my thrapple, to my shock and horror, there was a definite paucity of beer more
