Volume 1: A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.:

This is the definitive account of the exciting decade when radio first entered the home and changed forever the way of life in America. It features the start-up stories of almost 150 different radio manufacturers in the United States and gives detailed information on the products they produced, making this an invaluable guide for radio collectors and historians alike. It includes rare photos of the factories and hundreds of pictures and reproduced magazine ads detailing their products.

Thousands of early radios are identified by make, model number and important features. The evolution of radio design is traced from crystal sets and one-tube "regens" to the first AC sets and superheterodynes.

Learn about the beginning of some of America's largest consumer electronics manufacturers like

  • General Electric,
  • RCA,
  • Raytheon,
  • Westinghouse,
  • Zenith
  • ... and others.

Organized alphabetically by manufacturer. Volume 1 includes A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.

Very slow--5+ minutes to froth and warm milk
Color: White-Stainless
Pros-- Makes nice froth and warms the milk. Both froth settings produce the same kind of froth. it's relatively easy to clean-- usually just a strong rinse will do. It does fine in the dishwasher too. The noise level isn't bad. Cons--it takes between five and six minutes to froth milk. It is very slow. I can froth latte art milk on my espresso maker in less than a minute, by comparison. The forth it produces is too thick to make any kind of latte art.

Quality
Color: White-Stainless
What really impressed me is how fast it works—in just a couple of minutes, I have hot, creamy milk with thick, rich foam. The texture comes out smooth and fluffy, just like a coffee shop. It’s super easy to use, and cleaning it is quick too. I’ve used it for lattes, cappuccinos, and even hot chocolate, and it works perfectly every time. Definitely worth it if you want something quick, easy, and makes great foam in large amounts

Very nearly perfect!
Color: Matte Black
Admittedly, I'm writing this after making only one latte, but it was almost perfect! The milk was hot enough, but not too hot. The froth on my half & half was luxurious. It was super easy to use and select the what I want. I love the glass pitcher and being able to see my half & half as it heats and foams up. The only thing that isn't perfect, and I didn't take any off on my stars for, is that the frother is plastic. I'm striving for a plastic-free life and this Milk Frother and Steamer is very close to that, but heating plastic releases nanoparticles into the contents. I may have to buy another one, since it seems that there is no spare pitcher available to buy. Two pitchers would be very handy.

Easy to use, reliable machine
Color: White
Great product! I have a fully automated DeLonghi cappuccino/latte coffee machine. After 5 years of use, the machine's milk frothing function started to fail. I purchased this product to supplement/replace the milk frother on my DeLonghi automated coffee machine; it works great and produces copious milk froth with much less mess.

Best frother ever!
Color: White
This is the best frother ever! Works better than my expensive espresso machine frother. So easy and makes a large amount enough for 2 large cappuccinos.
