Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Salad Chef Salad Dressing Maker with Automatic Battery Powered Mixer
Customer Review: Good for the most part...
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the previous reviews on this product before buying it. I have only used it a couple of times, but generally I like the product. It's what I was looking for, mostly for the cruet that can be kept in the fridge. There seemed the be some concern with other buyers about the storage lid not being secure enough, but it works well. I've used it to make the dressing then transport it over for a dinner party, and it worked great. I do agree with the complaints about how the device operates. It is difficult to move the blades around while you are mixing, in order to get to the bottom to churn everything up. It sounds as though the previous model had the control up top, which seems like it would work better. All in all, for the price, I am happy with my purchase.Customer Review: Flawed 'upgrade'
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a real bummer when a product maker changes it, just to change it, and makes a wonderful gadget a bit more annoying to use. The previous model of this salad mixer had two key improvements:
1) The mixer portion could detach. This made it much much easier to clean since you could just pop off the mixer portion to clean.
2) Activating it used to be on the top, this made it easy to turn on then whip the contents around. Now you have to push down with a pretty hefty force which makes it awkward to rotate around the inside to get a good mix.
I consider these fairly large steps backwards (It probably made it cheaper to manufacture?), so while I thought the prior model was a 5-star, the current model is just a 2-star.
Customer Review: Almost Didn't Buy This! Glad I did!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched this little mixer on the WWW and a number of folks loved it but didn't like the seal of the plug on the decanter. It doesn't feel like it is secure when you put it on. I mixed up a batch of balsamic vinegarette in it and put it in the fridge. Later I knocked it off the top shelf while reaching for something else. Caught the darn thing as it was falling, upside down, and the lid stayed on, didn't spill a drop. Later my friend couldn't believe the story, so she turned the container upside down (over the sink, thankfully!) and the plug stayed firm, again. I love this little mixer. Great for salad dressings, and great for beating up eggs for omelets!Customer Review: Wonderful Kitchen Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought many of these. The mixer is wonderful for salad dressing and eggs and any light duty mixing.
I give these as gifts and everyone always says how much they love them.
It comes with a great little salad dressing book. Cruet is marked for no fuss measuring.
After 5 or so years of using this for scrampled eggs and other things the plastic propellers broke. If I could have found a replacement part, it would have lasted for another five years.
Well worth it.
Customer Review: Product has changed, but still works
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great little mixer. Before, the top grey part was the part you pressed to make it mix. Now, you have to get your hands under the bottom grey part. I don't use it to make dressings but to make shakes. It still works, but I liked the other way it ran.
Still a great product and it is nice to have the dressing stored (comes with a white stopper for the top).
The measurements on the side are great and easy to follow - great recipes, too.
