incorrect temperature
I bought this because my oven thermostat seemed to set the temperature too low and baked goods were not cooking all the way through.This thermometer showed the set oven temp.(set a various a number of temps. between 300 & 450) was 50 deg. F, too low. This seemed excessive, so I increased the setting on the oven by 25 deg.. Everything burned.My conclusion is that this thermometer reads too low. | 01 star

Love this toaster
While this toaster is not the fastest toast maker - you can speed it up by placing a small cookie sheet on top, as mentioned by a previous commenter - thank you for this tip - I've turned down my setting for toast by 20% and get the same amount of toasting - this toaster is the perfect size (it's small) and usefulness for me. Plus, I love the design. | 45 stars

Very good
I used the steam cleaner to clean the car mats; they were very dirty from all the winter weather and all that entails. I also used it to steam clean the bathtub/shower walls; it worked great. This is the original reason I purchased this machine. I'm going to use it for my spring cleaning as well. I love the fact that it is on wheels and I don't have to hold a heavy machine in my hands, just the wand. Another feature I like is the button that allows you to keep the steam running without having to continually hold the button down, a great feature. | 45 stars

Ecomonical on Produce and a Great Travel Buddy
I bought this juicer to use in my travel trailer. My Electric centrifical juicer broke down the other day so I pulled this one out till the new one comes.I juice everyday and this one obviously takes more time then the electric one but it worked great.It juiced every vegetable I put in it and some of them I didn't even bother to cut up. The pulp was fine, no chucks. You can throw it back in if you want it dryer. Definately getting your moneys worth by not wasting produce. Easy to use, you don't need to be strong to turn the handle. Easy to clean, I just rinsed it off by hand.Very sturdy for something made of plastic, I was impressed.Later that day I used it for my wheat grass which I can't juice in my centrifical juicer. The strainer screen seems to need to be dumped often but it's not really a problem. There are several parts to this juicer but if you clean it right after use they should be easy to keep track of.I can't say I will use this one everyday at home after the new juicer comes because of time. But for travel this will be great, very light weight, small size, versatil, economical with the cost of produce, no noise, no electricity neccesary and you can just rinse it off in any hotel sink.If you can't afford a expensive juicer I wouldn't worry about it because this one juices everything.Also it won't heat up your juice with this auger style of grinding, it works just as good as any expensive juicer but the price is way better. | 45 stars

Love these
I love these containers! I bought two - one for my sugar and one for my flour. They have a small spout and a bigger spout. Very handy. They seal very good. | 45 stars

Brand New Out of the Box
I just received the T-fal Family Pro-Fryer Digital (FR4017002) as a gift. It was purchased at a local Target store and appears to be exactly like the manual version (FR4015002) sold here, with the exception of the control panel. This is my first fryer and I was excited and pleased to see it was well packaged in corregated egg-shell like cardboard and was wrapped in plastic (easily removed). All pieces were in "New" condition as should be expected with a new item.In preparation for use, I disassembled the fryer (easily done) and washed the frying basket and enamel coated scratch resistant non-stick bowl. When grasping the edges of the bowl, I noticed they are cut straight so the bowl sits flat on the housing. This makes them slightly sharp, but not dangerously so. Although the bowl and basket are dishwasher safe, I chose to wash them by hand b/c my dishwasher was only half-full at the time. Next I sponge cleaned the control unit and heating element and dried all well with a soft towel. Everything reassembled quickly and easily. Now I am ready for the exciting part...frying up some home-made french fries.So far I give T-fal a 4-star. I will review again after its first use. Till then... | 34 stars

Puts everything within reach
I purchased these turntables for the far reaches of my corner cabinets. It used to be a pain to retrieve anything from these areas. Now everything is easily within reach. I love it! And such an easy fix! I also purchased a smaller one for the cabinet next to the stove to store spices and herbs. No more clutter next to the stove or in the cabinet! | 45 stars

Best Peeler
This is the best peeler I have ever used. I see that Kyocera has a newer, adjustable peel depth peeler out now, but I am so happy with this one, I don't feel any real need to change. | 45 stars

decent at best
I used this for about 2-3 years before it broke when crushing a clove of garlic. I was squeezing down pretty tight when, bam, the metal just broke. I also have to say that it was always a pain to put in the diswasher b/c whenever I took it out, water would leak out of the handles from in between the metal and the black plastic coating. I'm not a fan. | 12 stars

30' Vacuum Hose
The item arrived on time and in perfect condition. I also purchased a hose set from my big box home repair store. Between the two products, I had lots of adapters and was able to extend the reach of the product to about 40'. My next step is to construct a connector so I can vacuum inside the house while leaving the shop vac outside the house. With the shop vac outside the house, I won't have to worry about polluting the air in the house. | 45 stars

Awesome!
I had to buy a second one after trying this. Allows cookies to be pulled out while they are still soft for perfectly browned and still chewy just they way we like them. I let the cookies sit for a couple of minutes after they come out and they will never stick. This is my trick to avoid hard cookies, and getting them too browned. | 45 stars
|
Not bad
While it's not the best out there, you can't beat the price. My problems are that the screen that shows the time is small and not very bright so trying to read it at any type of angle or at night is difficult. The sounds are pleasant but tend to sound similar to each other. I like the buzzer alarm because it's more of a beeping and not one of those loud obnoxious grating sounds most alarms use. All in all, it's a good product for the low price. | 23 stars

NOT stainless steel interior!
The only reason this review isn't 5 stars is that the interior is not stainless steel. I have ordered 2 Contigo Elle mugs, each with the same description (except for the exterior color). The red one IS stainless steel... the black is not. My husband decided to keep it anyway to use for water, since these are by far the best travel mugs ever!! They do not leak, period! | 23 stars

Terrible PR job by Maytag
Looks like a great product. However, I have been trying to get more information on this thing for 6 weeks. Maytag has done a poor job of releasing details of the product. I am anxious for more information before I deal with 200lbs of product that I might have to return if it is not as expected. I have called, emailed, etc. Maytag, please release more info! | 34 stars

Light and portable
I am a huge fan of this grill compared to most of the other heavier duty ones. It folds flat and takes up little space in our camping gear. The legs are long enough to give sufficient room underneath so that you aren't completely charring your food. And there is enough surface area to cook meat and veggies all at once. It's lightweight enough to carry in a backpack without effort. Not great if you are only backpack camping because of the size, but it's great for car camping. | 45 stars

Worked like the original.
A direct drop in replacement for the cannister bags that I originally purchased. Was a bit concerned, since the pricing was so good. | 45 stars

Best Little Vacuum
This is the 2nd dirt devil hand held that I have owned. The first one lasted about 10 years and then wore out. It is a great product for the stairs and that's mostly what I use for.It's inexpensive and last a life time (or at least ten years) not bad for less than $3.00 a year.Excellent product. | 45 stars

Where do you get parts??? for the Thermos 2465P
Amazon source... I have had two of these for about two years. the lids are NOT interchangeable between bottles so I have had to scratch an identifier on one bottle and its lid. I have almost lost the ring on one bottle and it is quite stressful to keep track of it when washing the list. Also, the tube seal (that blue button) has developed a black mould looking ring and I have no idea how to clean it.I would really like to buy about 4 sets of lids for these two bottles.Oh, and I own three or four similar, larger Thermos bottles in addition to those I have picked up and lost over the lsat 50 or so years. There is NO other brand.Like to see - website source for parts, filter a la Clear2go or brita to interchange like the infusion top on the 24oz? model. ability to buy the gasket ring or the blue button separately from the lids. I must admit that I am spoiled by having a national Igloo factory within 5 miles of me here in Houston. Easy to drop by and buy new hinges, etc for coolers. Why not same availability but online for the bottles??? Cups are the hardest thing to keep track of with the large bottles.thanks, chas | 34 stars

Great grill!!!!
We are not allowed to have a charcoal or gas grill at our condo, but are allowed to have an electric grill. We'd never seen an electric grill that "looked" like a charcoal/gas grill until we researched this grill. We used it recently, and it works great; you can hardly tell the difference in taste from a charcoal/gas grill. This grill cleans up very easy, and will be very easy to maintain. The other great thing is that we bought the grill from Amazon $50.00 cheaper than from the George Foreman website. | 45 stars

Speedy delivery, correct product, lacked instructions
There are no instructions included with the product. As I acquired the unit second hand, I was unsure which way the filter went in. From the hunterair.com site: When you replace the filter in the unit, the white filter material should be facing outward (towards you) and the black carbon material should be hidden from view (inside the unit). | 34 stars

Good buy
I needed to cheaply make an older mattress last a few more years, so I bought this hoping it would work. It looks like we have a brand new mattress and it helped make the mattress a little more comfortable. I'm really satisfied with it. | 34 stars
|
Good product
We like it fine for the cost. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is that we had a more expensive Krups combo machine for several years before the hard water in the Southwest put an end to it. We paid over twice what we paid for this one but it was worth it. | 34 stars

Nice lid, and not just for Farberware
I have a set ofCirculon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 8-Inch and 10-Inch Deep Skilletsthat I picked up last year, and have been searching local stores for glass lids to go with them without any luck. Enter the Farberware glass lids (8" and 10" versions.) They are a nice, heavy lid with a metal rim, stay-cool handle, and best of all they fit my Circulon pans as if they were made for each other. | 34 stars

Sonic Boom Review
Small size but a powerful alarm clock. If the alarm doesn't wake you up, the shaker surely will. Plus it has an adjustable alarm pitch control so that no matter what of hearing you have lost you can adjust the pitch to your own level. | 45 stars

Organic Buckwheat Pillow - Twin/ Standard Size (20" x 26")
Well, I did not buy this for myself directly; this item was purchased for my wife. She would buy new pillows every few months as after a short time the pillows would give her a headache through the night. She wanted to try this one so I purchased it on November 16, 2011. I waited to report as I wanted he to have a month trial. The result so far, no headaches. She loves it and I will add every other month if I can the status. She says two thumbs up, 5 stars, no headache and excellent pillow. 12/22/11 report. | 45 stars

Looks good on your table
These little forks are sturdy and look good when you are serving anything. I use thermoforming cheese and crackers, antipasto all throes of things and everyone comments on how nice they are | 34 stars

Good so far
This humidifier works well for how much it cost, and I'm satisfied so far. It's relatively easy to fill and it lasts for a while. I haven't done any humidity measurements to see how effective this product is, but the streams of vaporized water coming out the cow ears work psychologically for me. My fiance loves the cowness of it, so that's a plus.I used to wake up with a dry throat and the occasional bloody nose, but it hasn't happened much recently (perhaps still a little dry in the throat). Since the weather is warming up there's no way for me to tell which factor is really contributing.Given that many of the bad reviews for this product have been more long-term product failures, it makes sense that this review is a little positive. I'll update if anything bad happens. | 34 stars

14x17 Frames
The frames are high quality and exactly what I was looking for. The only thing is I'm still figuring out how to use the hooks they gave with the frames. No directions were given and I definitely don't have a handyman knack, but I expect the seller to give me a speedy response (I e-mailed them a day ago). | 34 stars

Shame it doesn't work.
Tragically it is true, if you open and reclose a bottle a few times and repump every time, it keeps the air pressure in the bottle up, but since the partial pressure of CO2 is different then air, the CO2 will still come out of solution, e.g.... your pop will go flat. I bought one on a bet, and tested it in hopes of disproving the myth. Oh well.For 3$, enjoy the bubbly placebo! | 01 star

Fast & Furious
I saw this thing in action and it works great. It was sturdy, worked very quickly and was easy to use. It does exactly what it claims to do and does it well. Peeled easily and cored easily. | 45 stars

Skip Original, Go Extreme!
I wasn't really sure how to rate this product, as I've experienced both good and bad with the Twin Draft Guards.First of all, I bought the original Twin Draft Guard a few months ago and it was very poor-fitting around our front door....it was floppy, and made of thin, cheap fabric. I kept it at the door all this time and just figured it was better than nothing. For these reasons, I rate the original version 1 star.The other day my Mother-in-Law recently put a draft guard on her front door and I commented how nicely it fit on the door. The fabric was a sturdy twill and the insulating tubes were larger and fit snugger than ours....it turns out she bought the Twin Draft Guard Extreme!I went out today and bought the Extreme version and it is a 100% improvement from the original Twin Draft Guard. It fits great and snug under the door and has the nicer twill fabric. Don't Buy the Original, Buy the EXTREME! This sturdier version definitely earns a better rating.It's just a shame the original is such a poor product, especially since it's advertised to fit tightly around your door, when in reality, it is pretty awful! Only buy the Extreme version, otherwise, save your money. | 23 stars

My last 12" Skillet.
This pan is the right size to cook for a family of three or more and priced right. It was very easy to finish seasoning by cooking bacon, sausage and hamburgers its first week. Now it splits time between my gas stovetop and oven. I put it in the cupboard for a day before bringing it out again.I've had a pair of 8" and 10" Lodge skillets for 20 years, they weren't big enough sometimes. To save money I kept buying then tossing out large, soon scratched up, non-stick skillets every couple of years...and yes I used nylon or wood spatulas in them with low to medium heat. So not worth it.On durability...my 83 year old South Carolinian grandma left her antique 10" Lodge cornbread skillet to my Dad, who passed away at 77 and left it to cook for my 41 year old brother's family in this century. One of his kids will likely get it. If cared for...meaning not left to rust Lodge pans do not wear out they just get smoother and better cooking with time. Do yourself a favor and get this pan. I plan on leaving all mine to my 10 year old pancake maker, Alexei.On weight...what better way to avoid old lady flabby arms than to lift some heavy iron each day. | 45 stars

the best timer ever!
Oh my gosh! The first timer I found of this magnitude was when my first daughter was a student at A&M; in College Station, Texas. That was 2001. During the Thanksgiving Holidays 2008, my timer went out. I was then in the search for the same replacement, but to my dismay, there were none to be found in San Antonio or Victoria, Texas!!! So I went to the internet, and found it on Amazon.com...an extended long ringer timer...recommended for anyone approaching or after the age of 50! Everytime it goes off, I can hear either one of my three "over the age of 20-years old" daughters exclaim, "Oh, My Gosh...how long is that thing going to ring!" I love it...I ordered two so that should last me until I'm well over the age of 60! Highly recommended! Dearly loved!Mary in Victoria, Texas | 45 stars

Disappointing
I have had these shears for about a year now, and I am already in the market for a new pair. I primarily use my kitchen shears to cut poultry. These shears worked well for a few months, but they got dull very quickly. By the 6 month mark, I was no longer able to comfortably cut the backbone out of a chicken (which is mostly cutting through thick skin). They are fine for snipping herbs or other simple kitchen chores, but I am disappointed that less than a year later I have to buy a new pair of poultry shears. | 12 stars

Handsome, Well Constructed Book Shelf
It is so hard to find nice little book cases that are not made of particle board or don't cost an arm and a leg. Since this came with Super Saver shipping, it was far away a better deal than anything I could find locally. This is a well constructed unit and though it took a little elbow grease and patience to put it together, it came out very well and looks fantastic. I really like that after you tighten down the screws, you can hammer in solid wood plugs to cover the holes and really make it look a lot more expensive than it is. I can easily imagine this unit lasting for many, many years. | 45 stars

Perfect Product
I bought this as a replacement item for one we had previously. It works just as its supposed to for rice. We haven't tried using it for anything else, but for rice its great. | 45 stars

A dangerous flaw in the design
This product has a dangerous flaw in the design. Where the base connects to the upright there is an electrical connection. That connection arcs and causes the unit to cut in and out. Eventually the connection melts and unit will not run. There is a definite fire hazard with this product. Additionally with Fantom's warranty policy you have to ship the unit to them at your cost and include $19.99 for return shipping. | 01 star

Great value-Gets the job done
Came quickly and ready to use out of the box. Easy to use, just tap with your toe before you stand on it. Has a little switch underneath it to switch between kilograms and pounds. Only complaint is the initial reading is usually off by a hair, which is common with digital scales. Every reading afterwards is consistent. | 34 stars

Nothing wrong with it
It is good looking, functional, and not too expensive. A good all around piece for bath or kitchen.The $10 list price is over priced. | 34 stars

Just what I was looking for
I'm trying to move away from nonstick pans as much as possible, so this was a great find. I'm very happy with the sturdiness and functionality. It's great for both baking and storing food. As other reviewers have written, the lid can double as a cookie sheet. The lid is quite thin compared to the pan, so it won't withstand huge amounts of abuse, but it certainly does the job. | 45 stars
|
Easy to assemble and sturdy
This product is very sturdy and extremely easy to assemble. The unfinished wood is well manufactured and ships in a very compact package. Also, as a futon the numerous wood planks provide good support for use as a bed. No complaints whatsoever. Currently using as an everyday bed. | 45 stars

Not Recommended
I gave this coffee maker to my wife as a gift. She thought it looked nice and we have always preferred thermal carafe coffee makers. Two weeks after we started using it the carafe liner exploded without provocation or warning. Black and Decker was non-responsive to their one year warrantee claim I called in. I can't recommend the quality of this B&D product nor their warrantee. | 01 star

Scratchy - Awful Color
Even after several washings these sheets are stiff and scratchy. And, as another reviewer pointed out, the sage color is a very light, unattracive green. It, is true, however that they don't wrinkle. | 12 stars

Must have if you can't finish the bottle
Been using these for years, Stick the stopper in the bottle, pump a couple times and viola! wine stays fresh, bottle doesn't leak, back in the fridge it goes til you're ready for the next glass - even if its a couple days later. | 45 stars

Nice warm towels, but watch your electric bill!
There's nothing nicer than a warm, dry, towel. And in the summer this heater keeps towels from getting musty so quickly. But, our electric bill went up $40 per month and we didn't know why....until we unplugged the towel warmer. Now we plug it in long enough to dry the towels, or to heat them while we shower. Then we turn it off again. Other than being an electricity hog, this is a great product, and we love the feeling of being pampered and comforted with heated towels. | 34 stars

Good Quality at a great price!
I was suprised on how good the quality is with this bar. It is perfect for a corner of a room and really adds a metro look to your home. Amazon had the best rates and shipping was really cheap. Great bar for wine drinkers on a budget. | 45 stars

Finlandia.... who knew???
I purchased a set of six cups on an on-line auction about two years ago and had no idea of the pattern name or that they were made by Churchill. These mugs are beautifully made and are truly dishwasher safe.. they still look like new. They are sturdy (I still have all six mugs) but they are not your normal "clunky" looking or feeling mug. I found these by looking at teapots... which I am now going to order (to match my mugs!) | 45 stars

Really Nice. We use it in our RV/Camper

Fantastic!
I originally bought this for my desk at work, but found it was in fact too large. I kept it in the box and was planning to use it eventually since the price was so good.I sent it to my husband because he's working on our new home in another state. He has to always sleep with a fan pointed at him.I sent it to him brand new and couldn't wait to tell me how great it was.I definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs a small fan. | 45 stars

Worth the money
These thermoses seem expensive for something to keep coffee/tea in, but they are worth it. This one keeps my tea too hot to drink all day if I don't keep it open for a while to cool down. The best part is that I cool the tea down to the temperature I like best, and it stays right there for as long as I take to drink it. The lid makes it easy to drink out of and no problems with leaks. I read some negative reviews here about them leaking when the lid was messed up and ruining all their documents. Just give it a shake test before storing it with important papers if you want to make sure. Or just use your brain and avoid storing important documents with hot liquids. | 45 stars

Disappointed
I was disappointed with the initial quality of this comforter by Wamsutta. It did not seem to be of high quality: it felt rather brittle and not soft or luxurious in texture and the color did not look warm and inviting as it did in the Amazon.com photos. I almost want to return it. | 12 stars

West Bend 76220 20-1/2-by-10-1/2-Inch Griddle
The griddle is very spacious. Eight pancakes easily fit on the surface at one time. I haven't tried to fit an entire pound of bacon on it at once, but it looks like it is big enough for the job. The heating element gets up to temperature fairly quickly and maintains its temperature consistantly. The only problem that I have found is that the the surface temp. is not distributed as evenly as I would have liked. Pancakes may come out two toned, golden brown where they were directly over the element and paler toward the edge. | 34 stars
|
Dehumidifier
I basically got this item for free through a promotional deal on Amazon / with the manufacturer. As it needs to be used long term in order for a true assessment, I can't say much about it at this point. I will say that, even though it came with a hook for hanging, I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out where to put the hook. Yeah, it could be a "user error" but I kinda' doubt it. The product comes with minimal instructions. | 23 stars

This is a great dustbuster!
Black & Decker CHV1400 14.4-Volt Cyclonic DustBusterThis is a great dustbuster. I had a less powerful one for 10 years before it finally gave out. Even though this one is a little expensive, it has great suction and it has it's own tools stowed on the bottom. It is quite a bit heavier than the other one, so if you have weak hands or wrists, this is not the one for you. Otherwise, it's easy to operate and I can clean all the baseboards in one room plus stair risers in one charge. I would definitely recommend this product. | 45 stars
|
Great product if you use it right!
I love this product! And plan on giving several as Christmas presents this year. I wouldn't reccommend using it for tomatoes and I usually quarter my onions, peppers, etc. before pushing it through....But it absoluetly cuts down on my prep time by at least half. Totally worth it!!! | 45 stars

Waste of money
After this percolator stopped working, we were instructed to send it to Dulalit's service center for repair (Electra Craft, Inc.) Customer service at the repair center was very unprofessional -- they would tell us the package was shipping out to us, and nothing would arrive. It was only after persistent calling that they finally shipped the percolator to us and it arrived in worse condition. It took them four months to return the percolator to us. They refused to replace the percolator because we owned it for more than 30 days. Amazon was very helpful and understanding and assisted us with a refund.We unfortunately own two of these percolators and when the lid broke on the second one, I had to contact Electra Craft, again. They were able to provide the part, a simple stainless steel lid, for $25.00 plus shipping and handling! I'm sure their other replacement parts are overpriced as well! | 01 star

Perfect
Got this for my daughter for Christmas for her bathroom vanity. It was the perfect fit and color, nice and rich. Should have bought it as soon as I saw it because when I went to order it the price had gone up. Snooze you lose, however, it was worth the money. Easy assembly. Would buy it again. | 45 stars

DO NOT BUY BREAKABLE ITEMS FROM AMAZON
In the last year of ordering correlle abundance dishware as gifts for my mother in law from Amazon, they have managed to pack absolutely nothing securely. The latest blunder being the packaging of a ceramic baking set, which they dropped in to a cardboard box and applied one thin sheet of styrafoam packing. Getting this item replaced has been a 3 month nightmare, ending with Amazon telling me sorry for the trouble we can't meet our obligation to you, here's your money back. 100% unacceptable from a retailer who use to carry such high standards in customer service. | 01 star

Reflections tablecloth
The quality of the product is excellent. My only complaint is that they sent the wrong type - rectangle instead of oblong. Didn't have time to exchange, so I guess something is better than nothing. | 34 stars

Simple but GREAT!
It is a simple toaster which is what I wanted. I had previously gotten one that made toast, eggs, and sausage at the same time and the thing made it no time at all. This time I just wanted something that would do our toast, poptarts and hamburger buns! THIS ONE DOES ALL OF THIS GREAT! It has wide slots and we can do our buns which is great as hubby likes his toasted! Also if something short is to low to grab, just push up on the lever and it raises it up a bit so you can grab it! All in all, it is a super, simple but nice looking toaster! | 45 stars

Disappointed
I bought the Briel Artemis for my husband, for Christmas, but it's now on its way back to Amazon. I don't know whether the one we had was faulty in some way, but the espresso it produced was very weak and tasted more like coffee made in a coffee press (like the Bodum). We have had an old Gaggia for years and the espresso and cappuccino made in the Briel do not compare with that from the Gaggia. Although we got a nice crema on top of the espresso, the flavor just wasn't there. Very disappointing!I had taken some time to review many kinds of machines in this price range before choosing the Briel but I guess we'll just keep looking for an alternative for our very old Gaggia. | 12 stars

it gets the job done.
easy to assemble and none of the parts were missing. i followed the directions and felt quite accomplished when i was through. the entire process took less than an hour, or half a glass of wine, to complete. it looks swell to top it off. | 23 stars

LOVE this salad spinner!
This is a great salad spinner, not flimsy like a lot of them you find in the store. I got a smaller one at Whole Foods a year ago, and my mom wanted the same one so I found it on Amazon (no Whole Foods close to me). It was bigger than I expected, but better too big than too small, I guess. I use it often after I pick lettuce from my garden. Would definitely recommend it! | 45 stars

I really like it!
I need a lightly insulated lunch bag for myself. This lunch bag is simple and well made. Price is very reasonable. I really like it. Highly recommended. | 45 stars

Most Comfortable Whisk Ever
Finally, a whisk that doesn't cut into the palm of my hand. The rounded top is comfortable and the shape of the handle is just right for my small to medium sized hand. I have joint pain and find other whisks hurt my hand, but not this one. I like it so well that I ordered it in the smaller 9 inch size, too.Another plus to me is that it seems to be sealed very well so that water does not get caught up in the handle. Other whisks I've owned dropped water drips into my food as I was beating with them. Yick! This one does not drip anything. Much more sanitary :) | 45 stars

Call Bionaire Directly
If you have a Bionaire console humidifier, you need these filters, which should be replaced roughly every two months.But as much as I enjoy using Amazon (been a Prime member for years), this is not the product to purchase from Amazon. Call Bionaire directly. Instead of complaining about getting a non-Bionaire replacement, you'll get the genuine product, often for less. As I write this, they are having a 40% off sale on filters -- filters <$8, wicks <$10 per pair -- and free shipping on orders over $25. | 23 stars

First time juicer and owner of a juice maker
I basically purchased this product on a whim. I have never owned or even used a juicer prior to this one. After reading all the reviews it appears that this macine was the best long time investment. My firts thoughts were to save money and go with the Jack-la-lanne Juicer. However, after receing this device I extremely pleased with my decision. The overall quality of this device is not comparable in asthetics, weight, and functionality. It actually compliments my upgraded kitchen. The juicer itself has a low and high speed that is 3 times the performance of the single-speed Jack device, however, they do share the same cutting blade. Overall, you get what you pay for. The only downside is the clean-up process. If this is the worlds easiest to clean I would be very upset if I had to clean up the others. It's too time consuming to clean between different fruits. To save time I clean after juicing everything. Perhaps patience is a virtue. Also, I'm finding that the juice needs to be consumed within 2 days, otherwise the taste diminishes rapidly (personal opinion). Overall, its a very solid device that looks and operates at the highest levels. | 34 stars

Great Plate
This whole line is really great. Different look than normal and is really striking. Used this as a relish tray for different olives, pickles, etc. A lot of uses for a cute plate like this. Would buy again.Highly recommend the matching set!Villeroy & Boch New Wave Cottage 6-Piece Serving Set | 45 stars

Best Night's Sleep Ever
This down comforter is awesome. It's very light weight but yet still enough cover. I live in Florida and it's perfect. The crisp cover and satin edging keep it cool to the touch even on the hottest evenings. | 45 stars

Great for your morning espresso
I love how these glasses hold the perfect dose of espresso and how cool they stay to the touch. I was so impressed with them that I bought another set. | 45 stars

3 years and still going strong.
Unlike a regular box fan, this one will last. I got the older orange model over 3 years ago and it still works as good as new.Yes, it's loud. Yes, it moves air. Yes, it works. | 34 stars

Good for the price
A bit heavy and awkward, but for the price, it does the job. | 34 stars

Great Set
I would recommend that anyone who has bowls that are a little too small should get. This gives me the option of using a bigger snack bowl. The mixing bowl is great too. It is the perfect size for me to mix up meatloaf or have cut up vegetables in. | 45 stars

No whistle...
What a disappointment. I have owned another Simplex chrome over copper kettle for years and it works beautifully, I needed another kettle and ordered this one - and, to my dismay, it does not whistle at all. I had trusted Simplex to continue to produce a great product - and, instead, I received a defective product. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning it. What a shame. | 01 star

awful product
This is the worst steam iron I ever had in my life! When you need steam you'll have only a blinking Auto/Off button, is leaking, does not clean itself as it claims... overall I hate it! Now I'm planing to buy a PANASONIC one and throw this Rowenta to the garbage. | 01 star

Cuisinart Replacement Carafe
You had the best price with shipping on the carafe. I would recomend to anyone that purchasing this item from you would be a good experience. It shipped quickly. I was just disappointed that the carafe broke in the first place...just 3 weeks after purchase.It had a tiny hole in the bottom and leaked coffee all over my kitchen.The origninal one that came with the coffemaker must have been defective. | 34 stars

Lasagna Pan
Great pan for Making Lasagna for a large group. Well built and not chintzy. Love it. May buy a smaller one for small portions | 45 stars

Recommended
Packaged correctly and safe. Used it first day it arrived indoors and it works great! Healthy cooking at it's finest and easy to clean. Grease drain makes it easier to clean since you can rinse it off and drain the water that falls down the grease drain. Highly recommend this high quality/cost effective product. | 45 stars

Lasted one year, but company replaced it
We bought this can crusher December 2010 it broke by September 2012. It worked ok for that period but plastic is a horrible material for this use. It cracked which rendered the entire unit worthless. This was a complete waste of $30.I have contacted Easy Pull about the warranty and will update if and when a replacement arrives.Update: The replacement arrived yesterday and works great. I am increasing my rating to 3 stars due to the great customer service. I hope this one lasts longer than a year. | 23 stars

Little workhorse
Just perfect for melting chocolate for dipping treats and fruit. No fuss clean up, relatively quick heating and easy to store. I gave two of them to my candy making friends and they enjoy the little dipper as much as I do. | 34 stars

great for your desk
I really enjoy this cup at home and work. It is the perfect size. I wish it fit better in my car cupholder, but I usually take it to work empty anyway. I have been using them mostly for cold drinks right now and it works wonderfully. They do sweat, but most cups do. I like a lot of ice in my drinks. Its a great cup at a great price. | 34 stars

Gotta love it.
What's there not to like about a Wusthof knife that matches my set, plus cheaper than any where else I can find it new. | 45 stars

what a pleasant surprise
Moving again - for the 4th time this year, and the 15th time in past 20 adult years. I have assembled more furniture than I care to remember, and I'm getting old and tired. So what a wonderful surprise to have this be as absolutely simple to install (you just open it), and as good looking as promised. It's just that easy, and it's stable etc. Was delivered right on time - 2 of them - in perfect condition. Thanks! | 45 stars

Why is this a favorite?
The lid is hard to seat right & is not hinged so you're stuck trying to figure out where to put this hot oily lid. It is somehow very good at filtering the odor though & does a nice job cooking/crisping | 12 stars
