I've had this fridge next to my bed for a year. I'm a very light sleeper and have never had a problem with this fridge waking me up. It's extremely quiet and I've never had a problem with it. see less

Great item for a dorm room, and later used in life for camping and a garage fridge. Great item, fits pretty much everything. The freezer is really nice. A Must buy for a college student or camping utensil. see less

I was apprehensive to buy this brand new for my classroom. Mostly because I don't have the time to haul it back and forth if it were to break, nor do I have the money to throw out if I can't get it returned or fixed. I took the risk and am glad I did. It's quiet, keeps the ice frozen and the food and drinks cold. My students love having it and so do I! It works for us! see less

[...] Attractive price an ... see more

[...] Attractive price and ease of buying at Target Perfect operation for both cooling AND the freezer compartment! QUIET operation! The interior and exterior styling is simply brilliant and beautiful ALL MY STUFF FITS! The freezer space is good for ice cubes and a couple smaller packages of frozen items. I am not merely satisfied, I AM DELIGHTED WITH THIS EMERSON! I have it set up on a nice black drafting table I already had, table has nice wire shelves, so the fridge is up high and everything is easy to reach. Reading reviews for several models was important to me, so I thought I better post this here for you now searching. Those huge 20 cubic foot [$] fridges also seem to tear up your floor over time. This one WON'T! see less

Just purchased this item to free up space in main refrigerator. We use it for pop, beer and water. Space is great, I still have room for other items, and it keeps everything nice and cold! see less

I've had this fridge for only eight months, and have using it for less than six, but it's already stopped working. From the sound of things, I was lucky. I've run into other buyers of this product--also from Target--that had these pieces of junk last half as long. If you want quality, go somewhere else! see less

Had this for a little over one year and then opened the door one day and everything was warm. I have an old emerson cube fridge in my garage that I've had since 1978 and it is still working. Quality must have gone down a little. see less

Good size for house parti ... see more

Good size for house parties. Exterior well-made. Impressed w/how sturdy & attractive it looks. Easy set-up. Used Sephra choc which was smooth & delicious & easy to prepare. No oil needed to thin out the choc unlike other brands. It's pricey, but for me, worth every penny. The motor is quiet - ran for about 6 hrs. Sephra has excellent customer service. Called with a question & it was quickly answered the same day & they also called me the next day to follow-up! Clean-up was my concern as I went back & forth between Classic & Elite - removable basin. Difference in cost was not worth it to me. Clean-up was easy. Do it while choc is melted. Take a part auger, etc., & clean in warm soapy water. I tipped fountain on its side & cleaned out basin w/warm soapy water. I wiped sides of base w/wet wash cloth. No regrets choosing Classic over Elite. This was a hit! Permanent fixture at our parties & look forward to using it again. If you're looking for a good quality fountain, this is it! see less

I tried it and must say am very impressed with it. It is very easy to operate. It was more economical for me to purchase the rolls for the purpose of making custom bags. I sealed one end first with little or no effort, placed the item in the bag, and then sealed the other end. I am satisfied with the final outcome, and plan on vacuum sealing all the meats in my freezer now that I have mastered the operation of the product. The manual failed to provide a complete diagram of the parts, which was a little frustrating. However, the carton provided some additional helpful information. see less

I don't know why I resisted buying one for so many years. Now I don't know what I would do without it! Veggies are fresh as the day I packed them! The bags are reasonably priced too! see less

I bought this fridge for ... see more

I bought this fridge for my office. We were looking for something bigger than a dorm fridge, but not as large as a freezer. This fridge fit the bill size-wise and honestly, is of much better quality than I imagined. The door has slots for soda cans so they don't take up space in the fridge. The shelves are deep and tall enough that you don't have to contort your items to get them to fit. It's quiet -- no humming, no strange gurgling noises. It's a great, hard-working little fridge. It came with an egg tray, which we pulled out and a small ice tray, which we also took out. There is a small freezer. Enough for a frozen meal or so. Plenty of fridge space for a bunch of bottles of water, salads, sandwiches, etc. Just be aware that it's about 70 pounds, so you will need to figure that into your budget for shipping. Overall, excellent price for an excellent product. see less

When I was looking for a refrigerator, the information I read is that this item was all refrigerator. Not true. We don't need a freezer during our naturist gatherings. I am not happy, but needed it for yesterday's Independence Celebration. It was too heavy for me to return to our local store and hope to get a replacement in tim. see less

I got this as a gift last year and I bought one from my dad. It's not super fancy but does a really nice job of chilling my wines. While I like to keep some wines in my refrigerator, I think it's slightly too cold This is a great alternative to store and serve. It's definitely at that right price point if you just need a reliable storage chiller. see less

I like the price and the overall quality and performance of this wine fridge is excellent. I did not select expedited shipment but got it 2 days. maybe I got a free upgrade. it cools quite well and 28 bottles works for me. very happy with this purchase. see less

If you are looking for a ... see more

If you are looking for a freezer that both performs well and lasts, do not purchase this product. I have owned mine for 2 years and it no longer works. The warranty ran out a year ago. I would have to have it serviced by a professional. I have a used washer and dryer that last longer than 2 years, thankfully. I will never buy this product or any product by Emerson ever! see less

Wish there had been reviews available BEFORE I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS!! LOST OVER 80 dollars in food because of this WORTHLESS piece of junk!! AND I had to waste an ENTIRE afternoon emptying it and cleaning it out- the odor was HORRIBLE!! They would have to pay me 1000 dollars to make up for the ICK factor of that task!! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! Beware- this is JUNK!! Now I have to spend MORE time looking for the receipt and fighting to get some kind of satisfaction. It won't let me give ZERO STARS but that's what this piece of scrap deserves! SHAME ON YOU EMERSON!! see less

When I opened the freezer ... see more

When I opened the freezer this morning, it was warm and everything including several packages of rather expensive meat was completely unfrozen and warm. The light was still on. All the food had to be thrown away. It was working ok when we opened it previously about a week ago. We tried to get it started again later but all it does is get warm, no cooling at all. Needless to say, we are very disappointed. I'll be checking about the warranty tomorrow. I'll not trust another one. see less

I received this fridge as a birthday present from my girlfriend. One corner was dented so we returned it and got another. I have had it for over 2 1/2 years and its still running great. Energy efficient, quiet, and keeps a constant 55 degrees on my bottles. As a wine distributor I definitely recommend this fridge, especially since the price has gone down. see less

I ordered this as a gift and when it arrived, it was damaged. They took it to the nearest Target store and they immediately took steps to rectify the problem by offering to get him one in the store to replace the damaged one. He was completely satisfied and so am I. see less

I had to go through 3 deliveries to get a unit that was not badly damaged. The one I finally accepted had only very minor plastic breakage. I could not afford the time to return/order a fourth. I have a 2 year warranty and I hope I will not need to use it. see less

Our fitness club was in need of a beverage cooler so our members would have cold drinks available to them during/after their workouts. We didn't want anything too large or expensive. This unit seemed just right as it was compact & affordably priced! Also, the blue light adds an attractive apperance. After 2 years of use it is still working great. We highly recommend this unit!! see less

Wine Enthusiast Silent 12 Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator is absolutely quiet and holds the preset temperature perfectly. The only slight annoyance so far: the shelves are too close to each other, so to put a bottle in or to take it out, you have to pull the shelf a little out first.Otherwise, a perfect small wine fridge. see less

My best friend is having foot surgery and has hooked this up in her bedroom with drinks and food in it since she won't be able to walk far for a couple of weeks. She loves that it lights up when you open it. I'm glad I found something that's cooler looking than an old dorm fridge for her adult apartment! see less

The Panisonic bread maker is rated the best bread maker on the maket. I totally agree. I have researched other makes. My sisters have other brand name machines that do not compare to the value and quality of the bread made by this machine. see less

I was surprised to read s ... see more

I was surprised to read some of the other reviews about this bread machine, because I have been using it for over a decade and rarely have any trouble. It's been my experience that when bread machine bread doesn't turn out right, it's because the user is unfamiliar with bread machines. They definitately have their quirks, but here are a few tips I've found: 1. Heavier loafs, gulten free loafs, or loafs with high water content such as ciabatta do not work well in bread machines. Darker loaves such as rye and pumpernickel need to be formulated specifically for bread machines. Try a bread machine cookbook, 2. Remember to check your loaf while it is kneading. If the ingredients didn't combine, or you have glue instead of dough, add water or flour in half cup increments until the dough is a smooth ball in the center of the pan. 3. Be sure to remove your yeast from the refrigerator before you combine your ingredients in the pan to allow it to warm to room temperature, especially if using the rapid cycle. While many bread machine recipes can be made with active dry yeast, fast or rapid rise yeast always works better in machines. Make sure your yeast isn't old or cold. 4. Water should be lukewarm. Cold water will fail to activate the yeast, hot water will kill it. 5. Precision measurement is the commandment of bread machine baking. Level all measures before adding. see less

I bought this as a backup to my original machine, also a Panasonic, and have started using it every other day since purchase. It is like my original that I have been using for 14 years, and I've been very pleased. It still has a heavy weight pan so the bread doesn't burn as I've seen with others. Can't say enough good things about the Panasonic! see less

I am so excited to have a dishwasher! The first time since moving out on my own...10 plus years...a great find, super quiet compared to some dishwashers. I was impressed, not only with the quietness, but the clean sparkling dry dishes that came out of the dishwasher even on the light cycle. So so happy! see less

This dishwasher arrived on time. The inside was wet and I was a little concerned, but the water was fresh & clear. It appears that they test the hoses before shipment. Loading is a little getting used to, but the booklet is comprehensive. Although it is countertop I put mine on a rolling TV stand. It works very well. When I'm done with it at the house I'll be putting it in our RV. It looks good and cleans very well. It doesn't use much water, depending on the wash cycle you choose. I purchased this as a gap closure until my built-in is delivered and installed. Now I'm not so sure I need the built-in! see less

I have a family of four but with a load, sometimes 2, a day it keeps up with our dishes. I don't put our pots/pans or bigger things in there, but it is so nice not to have to wash the glasses, plates, silverware, etc. that is so time consuming. I would def. recommend this dishwasher. It is def. what I was expecting from a small countertop dishwasher. see less

I bought this cooler simply because the size was exactly what I needed in my kitchen. It is extremely quiet. The wine seems to be at the proper temperature. I bought this model at my local Target on sale (139.00) so I could not be happier with it. see less

This wine fridge has been great to me over the past 3 years. I have no complaints and will order another one when I need the space. For anyone's interest this unit consumes 1.33kwh for my house set at 74F when the fridge is set to 59F. see less

It looks like a dorm sized fridge but beware, the interior is acutally smaller. There is a component for the motor that cuts into the available space thus making it smaller than expected. Still works for my needs just not as spacious as the picture leads you to believe. see less

soooo much fun & so fast and easy to use !. i saw this reviewed on atk, americas test kitchen & it was reviewed by them as their top pick . when i went online to purchase it no one had it in stock .that i considered to be a good sign as to its popularity . next i search for other reviews,everyone seems to agree , THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE !!! ive made a number different recipes and not only is it fast and fun ,but it really makes great ice cream . DONT HESITATE ! GETTEM WHILE THIER AVAILABLE SURE TO BE A SUMMERTIME FAVORITE AGAIN !!! see less

Sure it's a little noisy - but just a little, nothing worse than a big microwave. And that little noise makes a full two quarts of any-flavor-you-like-best ice cream, sherbet, frozen yogurt, and sorbets within 30 minutes. So, you'll have to wash the container by hand and either unscrew the plastic lid to rinse it or just wipe it clean while still attached; I'll bet you won't complain once you've made your own frozen treats. Besides, it's easy to clean.[...] Nice job, Target! see less

Bought this chiller for long-term storage of a few bottles. It's quiet and compact and one of the cheaper models we looked at. It seems to keep an internal temperature only slightly below room temp which is what we needed. One problem is that is only fits the shorter red wine bottles that we have and not the taller while wine bottles. Other than that, we're happy with the purchase. see less

We bought super cute popcorn maker for sleepovers and movie nights. It is adorable, and a nice ambience setter for a fun girls night. It is a good size, and made popcorn quite easily. I looked at all kinds of popcorn machine reviews prior to purchasing this one, and even though there weren't any reviews, I thought I would take a chance. It does a great job. The girls loved it! My only "con", is that the whole thing is plastic. It is kind of flimsy, especially for the price. It probably should be more in the [$] range. I also think it's a bummer that they don't sell this in the store. see less

Pretty disappointed with this item.. It's very cheaply made esp for how much it is sold for... It does look cute but im scared to use it.. Its made with very thin plastic all around.. They could have at least made the door more durable since it will be used.. But over all its not worth it.. see less

Just downsizing from 10 rooms to 4 rooms. The way the new apartment is made there are 2 spaces that are perfect for this freezer. The small baskets take up too much space so i plan to take them out the 3 small baskets and use them in my pantry. This freezer is so quiet that you don't notice it's in the room. I love it also because I can make and keep a lot of ice. I had to get rid of my ice maker and super large freezer due to size, space and inconvience of cleaning them. see less

When looking for a small freezer, I was having no luck at all in finding one to fit our needs.I went to Target's web site and after reading the reviews on this one and seeing it was a top of the line review with 5 stars, I was hooked, so for so good, it's working out just fine no complaints. And the most important thing is my wife loves it, just the perfect sizes, fits any where. Thanks !!!! see less

I recently purchased an 3.1 cu. ft. Upright Freezer and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I live in a small space and having the extra freezing storage has been a blessing. I love to cook and need to have room for sales on my food purchases plus storage for finished products. see less

I bought this refridgerator for my game room. I love it. I had it on for a week now. It does not say anything about turning it off for an hour after you have it on for 48 hours. I let it run and run. Go on line and buy one. You can hear the fan on the refridgerator going. Then you know it is working. [...] It is so cute. see less

If your a collector like I am it's great. Item is very noisy when on. You can only use it 48 hours at a time, then turn off 1 hour, not a continuous use object. It doesn't get cold enough to satisfy your thirst. I thought it would be like a refrigerator, nothing of the sort. Really cute item but doesn't get your sodas cold enough. Would be good for camping. see less

I have the white model, not the black one but basically the 2lb models are the same. I use the Zojirushi to make 2-4 loaves of whole wheat bread every week now for 1 3/4 years and it is still going strong. It has all of the bells and whistles and it can take whole wheat dough without wearing the machine out. One thing though, let the pan cool before soaking it in water so you will not have to eventually purchase a replacement pan. This is the best machine for whole wheat dough and the most versatile besides. see less

I am so enjoying using my new breadmaker. I hesitated spending the extra money for this, but have no regrets. It mixes dough so wonderfully. I love the double paddles. I've cooked a few loaves with it as well and it's been great. I highly recommend the Zojirushi! see less

I've owned many bread machines and this is the best!.I received it last Friday and since have made wheat bread, strawberry jam and dutch apple cake. Every recipe turned out delicious. This is the first time the crust on my wheat bread was not hard. Buy this machine, it is worth the extra money. I live in high altitude and had no problems with this machine. Enjoy! I also own the Zojirushi rice cooker and coffee maker. see less

I have great success with ... see more

I have great success with this bread maker every time. I've made about 8 loaves now. The basic white bread is fantastic and the basic wheat loaf is good but I've been experimenting with the firm white bread recipe with a soft crust and substituting as much as half the regular flour with whole wheat and it's my favorite (but I like densely textured bread). I also substitute a little butter for olive oil just because I like the flavor and it comes out nice.I do spray the pan with cooking spray only because I'm paranoid. It slips out perfectly every time but I've never tried without cooking spray. The only real issue is that the kneading paddle is stuck on, but it works perfectly. I should probably have sprayed it and the knob it sits on with cooking spray before I did it the first time.Perfect size for one or two people a couple times a week. I never have to throw bread away anymore or store in the freezer or fridge.Directions are good, very simple and easy to use. see less

I was a bit nervous about ... see more

I was a bit nervous about using this for gluten-free baking as it can be tricky, but using a gluten-free bread mix and this machine (on the "quick" setting) resulted in bread that was so much better in both flavor and texture than anything I've been able to purchase before.The machine is very easy to use and comes with both printed instructions and a DVD. It is easy to clean, is very quiet during operation and takes up a very small space on my counter. see less

While this does take up a bit of space, I love that it doesn't use chemicals or have harsh fumes. I have children & pets & it's very comforting to know that there is nothing that will harm them. Very easy to use & seems to be well made. see less

This has been a life-chan ... see more

This has been a life-changing product! I used to disinfect my kitchen with bleach, but I feel SO much better knowing that I am sanitizing without using any harmful chemicals. The spray bottle works great for cleaning, and I've even used some of the extra oxygenated water to water my plants, which are now suddenly thriving! The bowl works great for washing fruits and veggies. The only annoyance I had with it was when I was processing a batch of strawberries that had a few soft spots. It gave me an error four times, but I figured it was due to the fact that the strawberries were a overripe and a bit mushy. Other than that, the Lotus system has been my new best friend. see less

We have been using the Te ... see more

We have been using the Tersano Sanitizer System for several years now, and we think it is a wonderful product, when it is working. We have members of our family that have sensitive immune systems and require very clean, sanitary foods. Salads were normally out of the question, but with this machine, they have been able to enjoy fresh raw foods again. It is great because it is not toxic and just returns to water in a short time.We use this product every day, sometimes several times a day, and we have definitely had some problems with failing machines. So far, the company has stood by their one year warranty and replaced the machines when they break down in that time.This product is unique on the market. There is nothing quite like it available to the home consumer that is as good of quality, even though they are prone to breaking down. I am hoping they can learn to create a more durable product. But if you want to know that your food is really clean and safe, it is hard to live without.I also think that the bowl and the lid need to be upgraded. The bowl cracks easily and the lid does not stay secure at times. see less
