Customer Reviews of Pinzon 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Barware Set
Customer Rating:  Summary: Great Starter Gift Set Comment: This is a great starter set for anyone setting up a bar. I am giving this as a housewarming gift to all my friends who are finally in their first homes - it's a really good quality basic set with all the tools needed to start entertaining with cocktails and you can't beat the price. It's packaged in a plain recyclable brown box - which makes a very nice and simple statement that I know my environmentally conscious friends will appreciate. Customer Rating:  Summary: Pretty Good Comment: This is a pretty good starter barware set. It is sophisticated and durable enough for my home needs, but not fancy at all. All of my friends who come over for drinks find it very practical and useful, which is good enough for me. The ice bucket is not as heavy as the other one I own, but it seems durable enough to last. Overall, good value for the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Dishwasher safe Comment: To me, anything that is dishwasher safe is always a super plus. This stainless steel set is dishwasher safe and looks great. The handles are weighted so it doesn't feel cheap when you are using them. The ice bucket is...an ice bucket. It holds more than enough ice for a cocktail party for family gatherings. It's not like you will be leaving ice sitting out all day if you plan on using it for mixing. The strainer works, and fits on top of my shaker that I got at Target just fine. I love the double jigger since it has a handle and I don't have to worry about spilling alcohol on my hands when I am pouring. I already have a knife I use to cut fruit, and won't really use this one just to cut fruit. I tried it, and it does cut lemons, but not as well as the knives I already own. The bottle opener opened a bottle of Michelob Ultra with no problems. The set looks a bit cluttered on the stand when displayed, but it is nice to be able to keep them all organized. All works as it should, and for about $30, it's an ok deal. It's very nice looking, and if you want something ascetically pleasing, this would be a nice set. It's a barware set, and everything works like it should. When it comes down to it, it is all depending on your personal taste if you like it, and if you think it will fit your home decor. All in all, look carefully at the pictures and decide whether it will clash with your decor or match it perfectly. It matches well with mine, and I enjoy it. Customer Rating: Summary: Not A Serious Bar Tool Comment: The Pinzon 8 Pc Stainless Steel Bar Set could have been a winner. Short comings begin with the ice bucket. Designed with a somewhat sharp lip, the small bucket loses style points for having no liner or lid. The accompanied knife has absolutely no true edge and would make cutting any fruit with the exception of canned peaches, very difficult. Nicely balanced, the stirring rod, whisk, and the handled jigger could probably go the distance without any long term replacement. A pleasant surprise was the quality of the toothed tongs. The jury is out on the bottle opener. Besides the knife, it would probably be one of the first items replaced. Two obvious items missing is the cocktail shaker and wine screw. No bar is complete without them. Even with bar tools attached, the stand is somewhat weak and unbalanced. Nicely finished but flawed, the Pinzon 8 pc Barware Set could never be considered a serious tool for true bar owners. I would find it very hard to even recommend this item as a good starter kit. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for a Gift Set Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1YG4XI0XZAL4X Mediocre quality, nice looking, limited in usefulness compared to a quality version of each piece included. For the most part, the pieces feel solid due to weighting in the handler. I was disappointed in the size of the ice bucket, hoping for a larger bucket, but am very happy with the way that it looks. My guess is that over the next few months, everything will get thrown away except the bottle opener, the knife (which is not very sharp but probably good enough for cheese), and the ice bucket. It probably makes a good gift set or a starter set, but not super good quality. However, it is probably about right for the price. Take a look at the video to see everything that comes with the set and see if it is right for you. More Reviews Every home bartender needs a set like this one. Completely made of stainless steel, the elegantly designed set includes a brushed-finish ice bucket that holds one quart of ice, along with a polished stand that keeps six bartending tools at the ready. The tools consist of a pair of toothy tongs, stirring rod, bottle opener, cocktail whisk, bar knife, and double jigger. The last four utensils all have cylindrically shaped, weighted handles that provide good balance for the tasks at hand. The stirrer and stand feature unique fan-like handles. To preserve the luster of the steel, the barware set should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box 
Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers A large number of freezers have eliminated defrosting by continually circulating the air inside the freezer compartment, thus avoiding frost build-up -- a feature well worth paying a little extra for. Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.
