cheap, easy, gets the job done!
As a new coffee making person, I wanted something cheap and functional. This seems to work great, no problems, (it was only $17 when I bought it, so the price was right, looks like Amazon has raised the price since then) | 45 stars

Divided Cube Additional Information
I just purchased this cube and discovered the trays I was trying to use didn't fit. I knew it was a long shot since the interior dimensions aren't listed anywhere. So here they are for the rest of you. It is 13 5/8" wide and each shelf is 2 1/4" high exactly so a container would need to be slightly smaller. The outer boards are 5/8" wide and the inner shelves are 1/2" thick each. Hope this helps. I wish they had options to go with these cubes. | 34 stars

Capresso 455
Excellent grinding and coffee maker. Programing takes a little to get used to but once you've done it's not hard to figure out. | 45 stars

SIMPLE
I have had one for almost 5 years now after a had a tree literally go "timber" on me fully decorated. Talk about making an impossible job fool proof. I love this stand and even bought one for my mom as a Christmas gift. I give it an A+. Its simple and sturdy. | 45 stars

Amazing
Love this tea. The flowers are beautiful and the tea taste amazing. Hardly ever need to add surgar or honey. It makes an awesome gift for those tea lovers in your life. | 45 stars

Nice prodict
Good quality, as all Precious Moments merchandise is. Lost a star because they're a bit too proud of their product - should be less expensive. But that's to be expected. | 34 stars

ITS NOT BLUE!!!
The color says SLATE as being BLUE, but its NOT BLUE, its green!!! So if you're looking for that pretty blue color that its showing that it claims it is, KEEP LOOKING, this is NOT IT. However if you are looking for a dark green grey with light blue shimmer, but OVERALL DARK GREY OLIVE GREEN, then this color is the one for you. | 12 stars

Wonderful chairs!
This chairs are just what I wanted ... at a fraction of the cost!They arrived right on time ... a bit time consuming to assemble, but worth every min.! | 45 stars

Good but stuff still gets HOT!!!!
These potholders are waaaayyy better than regular cloth ones. They are handy as jar openers and as trivets but the one drawback that I have found is that if you have to hold a hot pot straight out of the oven for more than 60 seconds, the heat comes through the silicone and becomes unbearable. While it won't burn you, it is uncomfortable enough to want to drop the pot. While most people probably don't have far to transport the heated food, I live next door to my sister and frequently have dinner together. Getting the food next door entails me to use towels and the potholder together. The first time I used just the potholders, I nearly dropped my Le Creuset pot! Otherwise, they are a good buy and very attractive. What happened to the pink ones???? | 34 stars

Wonderful Product
I have used vertical roasters for years but needed a new one. I like to use mine in the oven. Saw this on America's Test Kitchen and decided to order it. I used my favorite herbs with 1/3 cup water in the infuser and basted the outside and seasoned it as I always do. It was perfectly roasted and exceptionally moist. I now have two so can have plenty of perfectly roasted chicken with company. | 45 stars

small but mighty
Really like the small Le Creuset spatula it cleans out the bowl better because it is so small and I also like that heat doesn't effect it. | 45 stars

Replacement died within a month.
The first of these that I bought died within 6 months, so I got another one as a replacement. That one died in one month. Perhaps it was just battery failure, and not the fault of the thermometer itself, but for fifteen dollars, I would expect something like this to last longer. | 01 star

Perfect Dices BUT watery and involve a struggle...
Okay one you manage to push the onions using all your strength the dices are perfect cubes but watery. And the skin often gets stuck in the blade (use the comb to oush it through - in fact impossible to clean this thing without the comb). The V slicer is better. But this is less teary - saves your ears, tries your hands though! | 23 stars

For Their Size...
These are made from stainless steel with a proportionately "strong" hinge-spring wrapped around the hinge-pin. Because of the semi-soft rubber strips bonded to them, these are fine to hold notes, lists and photos to the side of the frig or a tool roll cab or even one of those steel-magnetic bulletin boards without marring them. They might even be useful on a clipboard to keep hard-copy documents such as blueprints, parts lists and invoices stable on a job sight. They could be used to clip junk-food bags. Their size (2.00 long x 1.25 wide x .562 deep - at hinge half open) keeps their usage to small applications.While they have reasonably strong magnets, they seem to have been added as a glued-on after-thought as there's no formed area to help with their adhesion retention on the clip like the magnets bonded to theGood Grips Stacking Magnetic All-Purpose Clipsalso made by OXO.I'd recommend them to someone looking for light and small application gripping and retention. I'd be reluctant to do so for medium or larger applications. | 45 stars

broken bowls upon arrival
when the bowls arrived, they were broken. There was NO packing in the box with them. So much for that Christmas present as well as the aggravation of packing them and taking them to the post office. | 01 star

Pacific Drums by DW Mini Timbale, Chrome Plated Steel, 4X10
I wanted to have some Latin flavour on my drums and this Timbale has been a pleasing addition to my Mapex drum kit. It sets up comfortably with the rest of the kit and gives that Latin flavour to it. In my opinion it is fairly priced, very good quality and looks.You can have a look and its sounds at [...] under MrLatinDrums.Thanks for Amazon to keep Global Trade alive and kicking!!! | 45 stars

Good inexpensive model
Easy to use, great-looking design, doesn't take up a lot of space. Good pressure. biggest complaint is milk frother is too short but typical for this level of espresso machine. But for the price, can't be beat especially with the $20 mail in rebate. | 34 stars

Good and Bad
I have had many different types of water bottles and this is the best so far. It keeps drinks cold and the cap is easy and quick to open. The lock on the cap is good for throwing in a backpack. Though there are setbacks.... if you leave water in it for a few hours, it starts to taste like metal and if you put juice or flavored water in the bottle, the taste/smell lingers for a few washes. Soap taste will also stay if you don't wipe it out. And for some odd reason, the bottom of my bottle is not level and recently got a dent so it does not always stand correctly, but this is not a major problem. Overall a good bottle, but I'm still looking for something that doesn't taste like metal or plastic. | 34 stars

Finally Bought One and Sorry I waited!
I must have passed this floor cleaner up a dozen times while in different stores. Each time I looked at it and said to myself that it was just too much money for a floor cleaner. Well, finally I broke down last week and bought one. Now I'm asking myself why I waited so long!I'll simply summarize my thoughts as the other reviews here are very good and accurate.PROS1. Easily cleans hardwood floors and at that's not the best part --- while you clean it also suctions up the fluid leaving them BONE DRY!2. Brushes do a good job of getting at the grime on the floor.CONS1. Dry vacuuming hasn't worked exceptionally well -- when I used it the dry vacuum seemed to push around the dirt more than suction it up. I think this would work well for someone with very find dirt/dust -- however if you have cheerios and other large items that your kids have dropped on the floor then you should use a dustbuster or vacuum to pick them up first.2. I had some minor problems when pushing the unit === it seemed to suction itself to the floor occassionally -- this very well could be my fault in how I was pushing.Overall the usefullness of this product is exceptional. It achieves its primary purpose of cleaning your floors even though it does fall a little short as a dry vacuum cleaner. | 45 stars

Finally a mixer that is geared properly!!
This is the fourth hand mixer I have purchased in the last four months. The others were taken back because they were not geared properly and would throw the product being mixed out of the bowls. The nine speed KitchenAid Hand Mixer (KHM9P) is truely a professional mixer. Would I recommend it to family and friends? A resounding YES; thus the five star rating! | 45 stars

Love this clock!
10" wall clock that I truly love. It is sleek and clean, and compliments almost any decor. It also has the respected La Crosse name.I bought this clock a while ago for my kitchen. It is the right size for my wall and easy to read from any angle or distance. I did not realize when I bought it that it sets itself and always shows the true time. You don't have to reset it for daylight savings either. That is the coolest feature.We unfortunately knocked it off the wall too many times and broke it. It did put up a good fight, but we killed it anyway. I tried to replace it with another similar clock and hated it. I ordered a new one from Amazon and it arrived today. It makes me happy to see it back up on the wall. | 45 stars

Omega J8005
Great machine. Very quiet and does a wonderful job. This is the first juicer I have purchased but after much research this is the one I chose. | 45 stars
|
Great so far!
Perfect purchase thus far! It's big enough to make appx. 4 cups of coffee and does a great job of keeping the coffee warm in-between cups. It's all steel, so no worry about glass breaking or plastic leaching harmful chemicals into your beverage. The mesh filter seems to be constructed well unlike a previous french press I've owned. We'll see if it stands up to multiple uses. | 45 stars

Best Ever
I worked with Industrial Espresso machines for several years, I wanted one for myself at home. The "Breville" tops any industrial one out there!!!This is simply the best espresso machine and so easy to use.Thank You,Patricia S. | 45 stars

Received what I ordered - No surprises
It's hard to say "I LOVE it" - after all, it's just a vacuum filter - but I am perfectly satisfied with the purchase. The price was reasonable, it arrived promptly, and works as expected. I would be inclined to order this item again when the time comes (I can't find this anywhere in stores). | 34 stars

What we needed!
We recently moved to San Diego and it has been HOT this summer! With no A/C, we have tried everything from multiple fans to s dehumidifier to try and stay cool enough to sleep at night. This fan finally did the trick! It keeps the miserable hot upstairs down to a tolerable warm during the day and at night when it's cool outside it works wonders so that you can sleep. I recommend measuring your window first, we had to rig it to fit in ours. This is not meant to cool an entire house, but it will make a noticable difference in the room that it is in. Shipped super fast as well. | 34 stars

So far it's great
Powerful, blends very well and easy to clean. No BPA parts (that touch your food) is awesome especially for blending hot soups. The detaching blade makes storage and cleaning mindless. Love it. | 45 stars

Good product
I was dubious about this product after reading the reviews. However, it works quite well and I have used several times a day--every day--since I purchased it a week ago. I love to whip it out after my twins spill a box of Rice Crispies or smash their crackers on the floor. I also use it on the bathroom floor to pick up any hair that fell out after I finish doing my hair. Of course there are some items that it cannot pick up. However, I have sucked up dried macaroni and cheese, cereal, sand, hair, etc. The only reason that I am giving it four stars instead of five is because it should be designed a little better for sweeping edges and corners. I love it, though, and wouldn't give it up!!!! | 34 stars

Wonderful!
This can opener is super smooth! I will never waste my money on cheap can openers again! I've had to throw away several cheap can openers in the past 6 months because they weren't sturdy enough. I would definitely recommend this one. | 45 stars

Battery is hard to find and doesn't last
The so-called "long-life replaceable battery" is impossible to get without going through the manufacturer. I have had the scale since 2002. It is a nice scale, but pretty worthless without the battery. I got a replacement battery by going through the manufacturer once, but it was quite a hassle, the battery was expensive, and it is already dead again a couple of years later--and the scale is hardly used. Please comment on this review if you know where I can find a battery. | 01 star

Perfect! Don't understand others' problems.
I've had a used water jug on the counter forever. I wanted something nice and CLEANABLE! This little jug is perfect.Others have complained about sealing the lid. It ain't rocket science - you push the lid in and turn the inner part until it seals. You can't pour with the lid sealed - DUH!I only use it for water, so I don't seal it, but it's very easy to do and you can shake it if you want to mix something with no spillage.5 stars - easy!p.s. I keep it on the counter. The plastic lid may behave differently when left in the fridge. Don't know. Haven't tried. | 45 stars

Simple and Elegant
I haven't bought new bedroom/bed furnishings for 6 years. So, I wanted to get something that would last another five at least. This was very inexpensive, and it came in a nice carry bag, that can be used for later storage.I wanted the red and gold, but after receiving the green and gold, I was glad I ordered the green. It's not as bulky as the more expensive comforters, but for me its great because I live in an apartment and need to wash things quite often because of my cat. She likes it too!Jaquards can sometimes be stiff and scratchy, but this one is quite soft, and since I enjoy the darker green colors, it goes well with my other bedroom items. All in all, a great buy for the budgeting decorater. | 45 stars

Great sheets for the money
I am a sheet person and I have had many sets over 500 thread count. I've paid over $100 in most cases. These are great quality for a great price! They are thick yet soft. I love them and would highly recommend them. They are a bit wrinkly coming out of the dryer, but I have not found sheets yet (that weren't silk) that come out perfect. If you take them right out and smooth them out on the bed, they are beautiful. | 45 stars

Great little skillet
I needed to replace the 8" non-stick that I used for several years for scrambling eggs. I have good stainless steel skillets, but forget scrambling eggs in them. So I purchased this Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Nonstick Stainless-Steel 8-Inch Skillet and it works great. The easiest cleanup ever. I do use a slight amount of butter before adding the eggs to the skillet, but probably wouldn't have to. Its a great little skillet for cooking foods that tend to stick in stainless steel. | 45 stars

Last for years
I'm still using Christy towels (white, cotton, loops) that I bought in the late 80s. THey are no longer as soft as the ones that I bought eight years ago, but they are STILL better than most other NEW towels. As to lint - why yes, they do shed -- for about two washings. Get past it! Do NOT use fabric softener on these or any other towels. Treat them with a modicum of respect, and you'll have them around for a long time. | 45 stars

Best little indoor grill ever
Enjoy grilling indoors when it's too hot outside-- or too cold!! No smoke in the house thanks to the water pan and lid. Cleen upIs a breeze. Timing directions are right on the button for juicy but nicely grilled on the outside fish, steaks, chicken and pork ribs!!! | 45 stars

One of my best purchases in the last 2 years
These pots are awesome. I paid less than $200 for this set and for that I got some really sturdy non-stick pots and pans. Honestly, I can't recommend them highly enough. | 45 stars

I got a lemon
The cord is way too small; it is almost strange. It makes it harder to let the water out. The only other thing, and this is a big one for me, is that the auto shut-off doesn't work. I combed the manual to see if I missed something and found in a place you wouldn't normally look that one should unplug and plug the item before each use.(who need that)?So I tried that realizing I could live with it.And, nope, it didn't work.I immediately emailed the seller about this and haven't heard back yet; I think it takes a few days.****IF YOU BUY THIS UNIT, BUY FROM AMAZON; THEY IMMEDIATELY SEND YOU A LABEL COVERING SHIPPING CHARGES***I have since boughr a cordless electric kettle for 3 extra bucks. I am sorry I didn't think to do this in the first place. | 01 star

GREAT TOWELS ... TERRIFIC PRICE
These towels are a great buy. They are SUPER SOFT. Great in the wash and a bargain. I bought the white because it is easier to just put them in and bleach them. Very absorbent. I did find them a little thinner than my older towels but still dry just as well. I would order them again..And Amazon is terrific as usual. | 45 stars

Perfect Glass
I am not sure why people review them that they break easily. They are glass, NOT plastics. They will break eventually. I had dropped them in the sink and knocked them over. At the right angle, it will break like any other glasswares. The great things about the glass is the vaccum spaces in between the glasses creates a thermo layer. Keeps the hot and cold longer. The are no sweating on cold drinks like other glasses. I bought a set from Warehouse Club couple about 3 years ago. I broke a few of the 12 oz glasses. The running statistics are we broke 2-3 larger glasses and haven't broken any small 8 oz glass yet.I would highly recommend anyone to get them. They look cool and a great conversation piece too. People would ask I get them from. | 45 stars

I went back to paper filters
It didn't take me long to realize that this product wasn't for me. My coffee always had grounds in the bottom, and cleanup is NOT a breeze. Grounds stick to the plastic frame, and the filter itself gets residue stuck on it at the water line.I went back to paper filters. | 23 stars

piece of junk
Received this in the mail & it was slightly dented to begin with - but not in a spot that would have messed with the production of pasta. The first & only time we used this, it broke. The dial on the left completely snapped off & was unable to be repaired. Thank goodness the Amazon return process is so easy - that alone deserves a star :) | 01 star

Don't "Google" around for more choices, this is your juicer
Since I never had a juicer before I was spending quite a lot of time on the internet to understand what I wanted vs what machine could offer. Because of my weight problems I decided to go for liquid diet so I knew I would not use much fruits for my diet (higher content of sugar) but rather vegetables. So it has come to decision between centrifugal juice extractor (Jack LaLanne juicer and Breville 800-JEXL) or masticating juicer extractor (Omega 8005 or Green Power). I wanted machine for the "greens" and masticating type supposed to do better job with all kinds vegies and grass (it doesn't produce heat like centrifugal action). In the case of Green Power juicer - I am not sure if it offers good ratio of price to juicing action so I have bought less expensive Omega 8005. The juicer arrived just in time (and as scheduled)and in perfect condition. I was already fasting for 7 days and I wanted to drop finally some nutrients in a big hole I have created there, so I did my first glass of juice (I've purchased books "The juice fasting bible" by Sandra Cabott, MD and "Juice Bible" by Pat Crocker). I couldn't believe my eyes, me a glutton, I couldn't finish this glass of delicious juice (called hot spiced carrots). My stomach has shrunk! The next step was to disassemble machine and clean it. It was quite easy and I was expecting 30 min chore but it took me less than 5 min. The only thing which probably will take longer, it is preparation of the food for juicing action. You have to cut them in smaller pieces because the opening is intentionally made smaller to prevent jams from bigger chunks. Does it bother me? No, I like solutions which works and so far no jams. With the help of juicer, finally, I was able to settle down for my loosing weight diet. For 2 days of liquid diet, I drink daily 2 glasses of juices and maybe some water, tea and coffee. On the third day I eat smaller amount of solid food, mainly meat with the steam vegetables (plus liquids) because I lift weights and I bike. On the 4th day total fasting (only water) and the next day a new cycle starts over again. Now, in the 6 weeks of this diet I was able to go from 255 lbs to 221 lbs. I think, drinking a lot of juice now, helped me to stop cravings for sugar and other "evil" carbohydrates (cookies, pastas, bread, white rice etc.) I have no more cravings for this crap food which created overweight problem for me. So, Omega 8005 is at core of my healthy diet, now. It was excellent purchase for me and well spend money. The machine look simple and solid. I can't imagine which part of Omega 8005 can break down even after many years of using. | 45 stars

Good sharpener for the $
I already had a set of knives and a storage block but no sharpening steel. I bought this one because it matched the rest of the knives in the block. It does a great job of restoring a knife's cutting edge with just a few strokes. If you've never used one of these before, there are several on line videos about proper sharpening technique. | 34 stars

bait and switch
this is how i feel about keurig. i needed a new coffeemaker and have always thought the keurig would be so wonderful to have. so, i investigated, compared prices, ($ per cup) and decided to get one. within 2 months mine started to act up and it took 3 days to resolve the problem, on and off the phone with customer service reps. then it was working okay and now the price of k cups has skyrocketed. i was paying $17 for 50 with subscribe and save. now they are up to $28 ish for the 50 count boxes and my favorite is not available for s&s.; (jet fuel) my husband is back to using the french press, and as soon as i run out of k cups i'm putting the stupid thing in a box in the garage and joining him. the sad thing is that i WAS going to buy one for my 2 sons and their wives for Christmas, so i'm glad this all happened before i did. i had thought it would be fun to send them k cups all year long. so, keurig/green mountain, just lost all of my future business. if you are considering getting one, please reconsider.Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System | 01 star

Simply The Best & Freshest Yogurt I've Ever Had
I have always enjoyed eating yogurt, but had never tried homemade yogurt until purchasing a Girmi JC70 Yogurt Maker. By using organic milk and following its simple instructions, we have consistently made the best and freshest tasting yogurt that we have ever had. Instead of spending money on purchasing pre-made yogurt at the store that is filled with preservatives and who knows what else, as well as having sat on a shelf for an unknown amount of time, we'd much rather make our own and know exactly what is in it using only organic ingredients and be able to eat it as soon as we chill it only hours after it's been made.Therefore, for ease of use, low cost and only a small amount of required storage space, I whole-heartedly rate the Girmi JC70 Yogurt Maker with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars. We also purchased an extra set of yogurt containers so that we make more yogurt of different varieties more quickly. If you're on a low-carb diet or prefer to eat organic foods, the Girmi JC70 Yogurt Maker is definitely worth having. | 45 stars

Sharp Microwave Review
I bought this item for my daughter, who lives over 600 miles away. Her reports about it have been extremely favorable. She indicates that she is well satisfied.Sharp R-402JW 1-2/5-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave, White | 45 stars

Had it a month and it works well
After reading all the other reviews we selected this one. If there is one weakness it is that it's an LCD display (large #) but not easy to read in a darker room. The one we used to have lighted up.I'm guessing it is accurate as it's pretty consistent. | 45 stars

NOT SMOOTH
If your looking for smooth creamy ice cream then this is not it.I bought the machine with hopes of making good home made ice cream to impress the ladys. When I got my 1st maker I used it once then tried to freeze the bowl with no luck. Left the bowl in the back of the freeer for 24 hours & still wouldnt freeze. Exchanged that maker & got another sent to me. The 2nd maker as soon as turning it on started up with noise & a smell of burning plastic. Just wanting to make ice cream i pushed forward with my ice cream endeavors... So I finished one batch. It was very soft so i put it in the freezer for a few hours. Took it out to find out that it was rock hard... Then defrosted it a little... Put some in a bowl stuck my spoon in with a surprise of ICE CRYSTALS! I hate me some ICE CRYSTALS! Not smooth at all. Tried a few diffrent ice creams from the booklet they give you with the maker. ALL WHERE CRYSTAL FILLED! So i returned that maker and went to the ice cream shop.. | 23 stars

Adequate but leaks
I was delighted to find these caps since I had been using my jars for simple short term storage and the regular caps were starting to rust. The only problem is that they leak, so if you use them for liquids, beware. If they could create a better seal, it would be a five star. | 23 stars

Waste of money
I bought one of these coffee pots when we moved into our new house. The first problem we ran into was that even though we rinsed out all the parts (basket, fileter, etc.) before each brewing, after 5 months you couldn't pour a cup of coffee while it was brewing. The seal was already wrecked. 3 months after that it would only steam instead of brew a cup of coffee.Well we bought another one thinking that maybe we just had a defective one. This one lasted less than 3 months. Today it just totally stopped working. You set it to brew and it does nothing. Even the hot plate doesn't get hot. All the lights are on and the clock is working.I'll never buy another one ever! These are total pieces of junk! | 01 star

Nice little vacuum
The Eureka is one of several hand-vacs I was looking at to replace another unit we had. Like many of the other reviews here that I consulted, our experience so far has been very positive. As soon as I got it, I tried it out on our carpeted stairs (which was the main reason for getting it), and I couldn't believe what it was getting from an area that I thought was relatively clean. The filter does fill up fast, and I use another shop-vac to clean it. My only question is going to be how long the filter lasts before I need to replace it. It's definitely a keeper. | 34 stars

Great set at a great price
I saw this as a Gold Box special and wasn't sure whether to purchase or not without seeing it. The reviews looked positive and I decided to purchase it and am glad I did. The weight of the pots and pans is great. Also, the price being on a Gold Box special was even better than hoped for (over 1/2 off) listed price. I'm replacing parts of my Calaphan All Clad set that have kind got worn. Also, relatives said that some of the All Clad pieces were too heavy to use. These are just a bit lighter and better balanced. I also like the medium sized pot as that size wasn't in my previous set and sometimes that was the size really needed. | 45 stars

My favorite glasses
I first used these glasses/cups at a teashop. I absolutely loved both the aesthetic and the practicality of it. I almost purchased the cups right at the teashop, but the they were a bit pricey so I held off. Glad that Amazon carried them at a reasonable price! Love the fact that you can use it for cold or hot beverages. When drinking hot, your hand and lips will stay cool. When drinking ice cold, the cup will stay dry outside so that your hand won't get all wet and messy. It's a beautiful cup, and I like the fact that you can see the color of your beverage -- often, teas have pretty color but the color can't be appreciated when in a mug. I love the round shape of the cup, although if you have a smallish hand, you may be more comfortable using this brand's other design which the cups are a little slender. Overall, I'm very happy I purchased the cups, not to mention the great price Amazon offered and the speedy shipment. I gave them out to a few of my friends for holiday gift, and they all love them. I only got a set of two cups for myself. I think I will probably buy more of the same shape cup, or some other styles of this brand. | 45 stars

Cute humidifier
Works pretty decent--raised the humidity in my office, and we're breathing a little better, and my hands aren't as dried as they used to be. I go through roughly 1 Penguin body-full of water per work day, when it's turned up to maximum output. It stops on its own when it senses the water level is too low.Slight gurgling when it's on max, but I don't hear it anymore--I've tuned it out. | 45 stars

Not Honeywell
They will not send you a Honeywell filter. These filters that I just received from Amazon are from a different manufacturer. This is a classic case of bait and switch. In legal terms, we call it FRAUD. The item appears as though it is of comparable quality. But it is clearly not a Honeywell brand product. If you are purchasing this based on your confidence in the Honeywell brand you will be disappointed; because you will not get the item that you pay for. | 01 star

Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Sweeper
I like this product but because it simply rotates the brush to bring items into the trash container - it will not pick up slightly heavy things. Great for a fast simple pick up though.**UPDATE**This sweeper did not stand the test of time. Was dissappointed. For the price it should have lasted longer. :( | 12 stars

breadman bread maker
This Breadmaker was purchased as a christmans gift for my daughter and son in law, who had been diagnosed with celiac diseaseover two years ago. This diagnosis means that he has an allergy to gluten whic is present in all wheat products.This breadmaker has a feature for baking with gluten free flours and has provided them[ASIN:B000FZZ0VE Breadman TR875 2-Pound Breadmaker, Stainless Steel]]the opportunity to have "bread again" at a reasonable price with purchasing the special flours in bulk. They love it. I hope to borrow it back this summer and use the jam feature during the berry season. | 34 stars

Love this pan!
This pan is a dream! The only downfall is that it's quite heavy to handle. I would highly recommend this. The surface is still as perfect as when I bought it. Super easy to clean. | 45 stars

Not worth the price tag.
This is the second grinder I have owned. The first was an old Braun that worked well for years until I lost it during a move. I purchased this grinder because of the seemingly easy to use feature for making coarse, medium, and fine grinds. I was somewhat disappointed when I realized that the difference was only in the duration of the grinding. I was further disappointed when I noticed, particularly with coarse-medium grinds, many of the beans are unground or ground unevenly. In fact, all the grinds are uneven. What I usually get is a mix of really finely ground beans with really course grinds, regardless of how long I grind it. Varying the amount of beans does not improve this. I give this two stars for lack of precision. | 12 stars

NO better knives than these...
If you are buying knives, don't bother to look anywhere else. I have gone through 4 knife sets and all of them ended up in the trash. I was trying to be cheap about the whole thing, and you just can't. They rust or they are too dull. These knives are still cheap considering how wonderful they are. My husband cut himself on them 3 times because he wasn't used to such a sharp knife!! They look nice and are fantastic, no better buy than these. One tip on keeping knives sharp, don't put them in the dishwasher, especially such nice ones. | 45 stars

Bad Design Ruins the Whistle!
I love the "train whistle" sound of Chantal tea kettles and was thrilled to find one with a trigger lift for the whistle, but after less than a month of use the oval shape of the kettle directs (gas) heat from the bottom of the kettle around to the top of the kettle, melting the otherwise sturdy plastic parts and ruining the seal over the spout, allowing steam to escape around and not through the whistle. How disappointing. I also suspect that with the wasted heat going around the kettle and not kept at the bottom, that boiling times are longer. I have now gotten a flat-bottomed, bell-shaped tea kettle (with a less fun whistle) that does a much better job and hasn't had problems. Too bad! | 12 stars

You'd be better off spending a little more money
I had this blender a couple months, and I ended up replacing it. I bought it because it was cheap, but it's just too weak. It would stall a lot when I used it, and I would only have to use it for about 30 seconds before it started to smell like something was burning. | 12 stars

perfect lid
The lid is well made and fits perfectly on the Scanpan. The best thing about it is you can see through it to check the cooking process without removing it. And the handle on top is stay cool, so you don't burn yourself in the process of removing it. And it cleans easily and quickly. The quality of the lid complements the extremely high quality of the pan that it was designed to fit. | 45 stars

A decent average quality sheet.
This sheet feels a little stiff when you first take it out of the package but it softens up a bit when you wash it. Don't expect an extremely soft sheet; it is about average, but, for the price it isn't bad. Also, unlike many people I prefer the cotton/poly mix in my sheets because they don't wrinkle nearly as bad as pure cotton.I would recommend this sheet to all but the most fussy sleepers. | 34 stars

reality
the carpet cleaner works well except if you do not have the recovery tank on properly it will not pick up the waste water.i tried numerous times to put the top of the recovery tank, on to no avail,after numerous attempts i got it on,but its very hard to have it on properly so the machine will work. cordially russ | 23 stars

Not a pack of SIX.
$15 for one single pie plate - that's just crazy. $15 for six pie plates would have been crazy too but that's what it says in the title and description of this listing. But, of course, only one pie plate came in the mail. Do not order this hoping that it will actually be as described. | 01 star

a former barista's review
I think I have a bit of an advantage in that I have previous barista experience on a manual espresso machine, so I already knew going into this how to tamp the grinds etc., and the art of pulling a shot. I do agree that a lot of these negative reviews come from a place of inexperience and simply not understanding how to to pack the grinds.Saying that, I think before anyone purchases an espresso machine that's never pulled a shot before, be sure to read up on it and watch youtube videos so that you can get the best out of this wonderful machine. The way you pack the grinds will definitely effect the outcome of the shot.Back to my review. I got my machine in yesterday, and after that I began reading the instructions (which seem to be awkwardly translated, i think) watching videos on the use of the machine itself, and reading fellow reviews. I also practiced without grinds on the machine. This morning i woke up & set the machine to steam and 10 minutes or so later, steamed my milk first (per suggestion). I then set it to the "make coffee" setting and pulled a beautiful shot and did NOT have a soupy mess afterwards- oh and also, i tightly packed my grinds with the recommended tamp. No problems.When you fill the container with water in the back, make sure it's suctioning to that thing at the bottom (you'll see bubbles rise) because i noticed i hadn't done that and the water wasn't heating. It's simple things like this that need to be checked.Overall, like many others, this is a great little machine. Hopefully it lasts me a good while! | 45 stars

Makes great ice cream
My friend bought this and told me about it. I have made 4 batches so far and all have tasted great. Granted it does not make the ice cream hard in the half hour but to a soft serve consistency. I usually put it in the freezer for a half hour before serving. I only cool the ingredients for an hour- but I also do not use the recipe that requires cooking. I use 2 cups heavy cream, 2 cups half and half and 1 cup whole milk with 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tsp vanilla with a half cup of cocoa. As far as having to freeze the container for 15 hours I just keep it in the freezer so it is always ready so I don't have to plan ahead. Both my friend and I are very pleased. The icecream does not get ice crystals like a previous cheap maker I had. | 34 stars

How to get a replacement probe
I love this thermometer but the probe went bad within the first year. I contacted Taylor Precision Products and the emailed back promptly. They told me to send a check for $5 for each probe (includes shipping) to Taylor Precision Products, 2220 Entrada Del Sol Suite A, Las Cruses, NM 88001.Be sure to include the model number, your name and address, and a telephone number where you can be reached. They say they will ship it UPS. | 45 stars

Sharp R-820JS is great, but has flaw
The Sharp R-820JS is a nice package: microwave, convection, space saving size, and professional looking case (silver). The unit seems to have plenty of power, and is easy-to-use. Futhermore, you can move the unit without breaking your back.One critism: Sharp could easily have designed a better digital readout. My digital display is virtually unreadable when viewed from above (the unit sits on a counter that is not eye level). From eve level, the diisplay is adequate. | 34 stars

handy item
This unit cleans up easily and an omelet made in it is VERY quick and tasty. I have a different microwave egg cooker that does NOT clean up this easily. | 34 stars

Easy, Yummy, Great Design
We had a Krups combo coffee pot/espresso machine and after several espresso calamities in a row, I gave up and got this Cuisinart. So far it has been great! It seems that there used to be only basic espresso makers or extremely expensive ones on the market, with nothing in between. But the Cuisinart satisfies the coffee connoisseur on a budget by making truly wonderful espresso and more.One of my frustrations with our last model was the "perfect froth" tip, which was disastrous to say the least. I just need a basic steam wand and I can take it from there, and the Cuisinart fits the bill - it steamed and frothed my milk easily and quickly. Just be careful to use less milk than you might think, because the volume doubles in no time. I'll probably switch to a larger pitcher than the one that comes with the Cuisinart, though it's fine to start out.A couple tips to get started: the instructions say the heating light should come on right away, but it didn't for me until I switched the small knob to the droplet icon (as opposed to the middle neutral position). I figured this out by watching the video, which I recommend as the instruction manual is pretty bare. It's also good to see how much pressure one should use to tamp the grounds.The only negative thing I can say is that the warming tray doesn't seem to get very warm, but I do like being able to store my cups on top anyway (more space in the cabinets now, plus a certain café aesthetic is always nice), so I don't mind. Positives are that it's fast, it's quiet, everything is sturdy and well designed (and clicks or locks solidly in place so you know things are seated correctly), and the espresso is truly café quality - an enormous difference from the more basic espresso machines on the market.UPDATE: Since this review I have had some experiences with clogging. Cuisinart customer service was totally unhelpful, but here's what I do to remedy the situation:1. As soon as you notice espresso isn't coming out, turn off the machine, take off the basket (you may have to wait for the pressure to subside), rinse it out well, and fill the machine with water.2. Scrub the underside of the metal grid that the filter basket attaches to with a damp cloth.3. Reattach just the basket with no filter. Heat water and run that through to get any clogs in the upper part of the machine. I fill up a milk pitcher. Then turn the big black dial to neutral, add the empty filter to the basket, and repeat. As long as water starts running through that ok it should be all right. I hope it works for you! | 45 stars

If you value your kitchen and house, don't buy this product
Wow. Just got around to opening this thing from Christmas as it was a present but have been too busy to open until now. First thing I noticed upon exiting the bathroom (as I was running the water through for its initial, and final, run) was the acrid smell of plastic burning. I thought, hey, this is a new product and it probably just needs to get through its first run before it stops smelling. So I leave it be, go upstairs, and then start browsing the net for some customer reviews of the unit. Next thing I see is "bad plastic smell" and "will catch your kitchen on fire" and I couldn't help but notice that nasty rancid burning wafting into my upstairs room. I quickly dashed down to the kitchen to see a rising vapor of smoke and had to both unplug it and toss it into the sink at the same time. JESUS this is a horrible product. Who in the heck let this out on the market?! Please don't buy it. Don't expect it to last. Just get rid of it before your whole house goes down with it. Seriously. End of story. | 01 star

Looks great and quality made
Not sure what other reviewer's mean when they say it's not sturdy. If you're familiar with the intricacies of assembling modular furniture and do it right, this is a very sturdy piece. I used glue on the dowels for added confidence. Don't overtighten screws, make sure the cam-locks are all turned 180 degrees, etc... and you'll be fine.This thing looks great. I couldn't find any other stand this nice looking in this price range. I paid a little more and bought it locally but I wanted to avoid the hassle of returning a 100lb box if it showed up damaged. The packaging seemed fine and you shouldn't expect damage unless it's abused or handled with zero care.Definitely recommended. | 45 stars
