Best Lemonade Ever (after some testing)!,
May 22, 2002 A. G. Totcky "Khayymm-The Rose" (Dearborn, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Salton LM8 Lemonader! Lemonade Maker (Kitchen)
Although the "machine" itself is a little more work than I thought (it does take time to "squeeze" the lemons, but it is soooo much easier than by hand) the fact that it makes a syrup from the sugar and hot water that then mixes with the lemon juice makes it a much more "old-fashioned" taste ... none of this powdered stuff (or just lemon juice with sugar). I adore a good glass of lemonade and this has got to be in the top 3! You do have to test the sugar and lemon amounts to your taste and 2 1/2 quarts isn't really much, but it is more than well worth it!!!!!!

There's Nothing as Refreshing as a Glass of Fresh Lemonade!,

This review is from: Salton LM8 Lemonader! Lemonade Maker (Kitchen)
I love kitchen gadgets and I love real lemonade, so when I discovered the Salton Lemonader I had to give it a try. It's similar to a coffee maker in that you add water to a reservoir, sugar to a holder in the top, and ice cubes (you need about 3 1/2 trays of ice cubes) and water to the pitcher. Then you plug it in and use the motorized reamer in the top to juice your lemons. The water heats and is forced through the sugar, and continues into the pitcher with the lemon juice. I like a mix of 6 large lemons and 1 cup of sugar. Couldn't be any easier.There is a steam vent in the top back, but I had no problems with steam coming out when I was juicing the lemons. If you are afraid of getting burned, just plug in the Lemonader, juice the lemons and THEN press the brew button. The whole appliance is nicely made. My only complaint is the lid which fits on top of the juicer doesn't seat correctly, but it does not affect the workings of the Lemonader. When you're done, you can put...Read more

Yummy!!,

This review is from: Salton LM8 Lemonader! Lemonade Maker (Kitchen)
Bought this the other day and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. The lemonade is delicious, but you will probably have to play around with the amount of lemons and sugar until you find the combination that tastes best to you. It does takes a few min. for it to "brew" the lemonade, but its not that that bad, and the after-product is well worth it. Be careful not to touch the top as it is brewing, it does let off very hot steam, (warnings are written on the top lid, so this shouldnt be a problem.) I didn't find it ultra-messy, everything went in my dishwasher afterward, and the leftover lemonade in its handy pitcher went into the fridge. I read the directions fully before using it, so I new exactly what to expect.
All in all, I liked this product a lot, I didnt pay msrp. for it, I got a deal, and it was definately worth it!!
