As a long time cook and home maker I can appreciate appliances and items that performed as they should, stand up to their reputation, and deliver as advertised. I have been in retail and sales for over 31 years and was an assistant and department manager at Sears and managed the housewears department. So I am very familiar with housewears appliances and how they should perform. I receivedseveral customer commendations for friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge of product and going the extra mile to please the customer. I was named department manager of the month for housewears on several occasions.
