Shiny I think I was distracted by the bright sparkling blade of this knife when I put it in my cart. This is a pretty low grade "stainless steel" and is very very light by weight. The tang is almost full, but not quite to the end of the handle, and not quite the entire width of the handle either - likely just enough to contact the rivets. Don't have very high hopes for sharpening in the future. As always with knives, you get what you pay for.

it's a great mop I think this is a good product at a reasonable price. I have used it twice and find it works great on my tile floors. I find that it is best to let it warm up a little longer to get the steam going, but it cleaned up fine. It is a little hard to push around, but it is a mop, after all, and better and easier than the traditional mops. I like not lugging a bucket around the house. I like not having to use detergent. I like not having to rinse and squeeze a mop. It is a good product and very convenient.

Barely worth the $10.00 I paid for it. It staggers me that stores or a store is charging $119.99 for this radio/DVD player. Discs do not play very well. Changing functions does not work very well. When you push the power button or the station memory button, sometimes it works, other times not. Sometimes when you change channels, the display will change but you will continue to hear the previous station. This is not a fluke. The first one arrived with a non-operational disc player. However, Amazon sent another one faster than I could send the first one back. THAT was amazing service. A workmate wanted one because she "liked the pretty blue light" but it works the same way mine does. We work next to each other and its plainly obvious. After that, the price started to climb. Another workmate wanted one but the price had risen to around $60.00. I thought THAT was high! HAH! Just nuts. Its worth $10.00 to me. Not a penny more. Oh, it DOES NOT have a weather Band. Period.GPX CRCD-6306DT Clock Radio and CD Player with Digital Tune AM/FM Stereo Radio and Weather Band

Do not buy these sheets--you will regret it After the first wash, the fibers on the sheets started balling up. While they fit my oversized mattress, they do not remain taught on the bed and begin to slip off after only a couple nights. Very unattractive. See-through. Like mosquito netting. What a waste of money at any price!!!!

Poor Carafe Design Regarding the Cuisinart DCC 1200 -- Well, I am sorely disappointed in this product. I could not even get the lid off the glass carafe. Terrible design. Two stingy little molded-in plastic tabs about depth of toothpicks where one is supposed to use their fingernails to pry the lid loose. Not made in the United States. I did not even try to make coffee in it, because I refuse to be subjected to tearing my fingers up trying to lift the lid. Bad, bad, design. Somebody fell down on the job. I am hoping they will take it back, refund my purchase price and postage. If they do, I will post a positive on their customer service, but at this piont, I am one unhappy customer.

Just Long Enough... Had a chance to use at the BBQ and show all the neighbors just how cool I was the first time I used it... Lucky, becuase it never worked again. Like others I seem to have burnt a section of the cord and the temp is all over the place.

This is NOT diswasher safe as described I ordered this for my parents as a Christmas gift solely because it said it was both nonstick and dishwasher safe. I just found out from them that the instructions that came with the cookware say DO NOT WASH in dishwasher because it will ruin anodized coating. These are not as advertised.

Never worked properly - broke in 9 months First, the product description is wrong. It reads the toaster has "11.5 inch wide toasting slots". The toaster has toasting slots that are just over 5 inches, which is part of the problem.Despite the Cuisinart name, this is a fairly basic toaster. Given the chance to do it again, I would pick another toaster. This one is a good deal but there are two features that I would prefer:1. The Cuisinart toaster browns the bread more on one side than the other side of the bread. It's not bad, but noticeable. I'd pick one that toasts evenly on both sides.2. The Cuisinart fits a traditional sized piece of bread, such as Wonder Bread or bagels (thick is ok in this toaster, but any longer won't fit). Most of the bread I eat is in longer slices, such as sour dough or Oroweat.Note: My rating is based on the toaster itself and not the incorrect description that's posted in the listing.Update, December 28, 2010: It toasts inconsistently. For example, I've kept it set at "6" and toasted bread from the same loaf. Each comes out slightly more or less toasted than the one before it. I've reduced my rating by one star (now rated at 2 stars).Update, September 10, 2011: The toaster won't turn on anymore. It's toast. Because every other toaster I've had has lasted years (even a $10 toaster from Walgreens), I give it 1 star.

How did I do without this? Some how I discovered electric kettles. I read through all the reviews - not just this one but many.I selected this one because it seemed to be the right size and the parts touching the water are stainless steel. I'm concerned that over time the plastic ones I looked at would not stay clean or begin the leech in to the water.This is the right size to fill a teapot. Fill it up by just running the tap water into the spout - you don't even have to open the lid. Simple. Put it on the pedstal and push the on button on the top. Simple. It boils very quickly and turns off when done. Simple. I've used this every day since just before Christmas and wonder how I got by without this.Some have commented that it's heavy. I don't think so. How often are you going to boil 7 cups of water? My large teapot only takes about 5 cups and that's a lot of tea! Oh, and did you know that you can fill this full, boil the water and then dump it in to your pasta pot and you just skipped 20 minutes waiting for your pasta pot to boil water on the stove top?

Completely quit in less than a month! I ordered this as a Christmas gift. It was used as a toaster three times and as an oven once. After only a few weeks in use it died completely in the middle of trying to use it. What an exspensive lesson in buying an applilance from Amazon. I live in Jacksonville,Fl.and there is not a repair place in the entire city. I guess this goes to the dump!

NO REGRETS! A friend of mine with who owns 2 cats suggested the Dyson DC 14 Animal vacuum to me. We own 4 dogs that continually shed. We have been using a bagging Hoover which has frankly not been performing very well. The Dyson DC 14 blows away anything I have ever used or heard about!! After vacuuming the living room with the Hoover I quickly assembled and ran my new Dyson over the same area. Holy Cow!!....I filled the canister twice!! The carpet looked better than it usually does after vacuuming AND shampooing!! INCREDIBLE!! The best part is that there is NO ODOR that usually accompanied my vacuuming. I was very skeptical of spending over $500 for a vacuum cleaner, but this has turned out to be the best money I have ever spent. BUY THIS PRODUCT AND PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK FOR THE SMARTEST PURCHASE OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

Best can opener We liked this can opener so much we were sad when we couldn't find it after a move. So, we ordered it again (maybe another seller the 2nd time). Then ordered it for the third time recently as a Christmas gift. I cannot locate the order history of all 3 purchases for this so I don't know where we went wrong but one of the times we ended up with a black handle version with a plastic knob. Both versions are good but I think the silver/black handle one is superior and that is the one we most recently received which we ordered from this listing.

A great bread machine! Breadman really makes a great product. I should know since this is the third Breadman I've had. The first two are still in use and being enjoyed by their new owners. I used each machine a lot (1 or more loaves a week for years) but eventually decided to step up to a newer model. This new one is really great.I don't think the product description really does this product justice. For me there are a lot of improvements in this machine that weren't available when I bought my last Breadman 6 or 7 years ago. In addition to making a horizontal loaf this machine has many other great features such as: a hopper for dispensing nut or raisins (not just a beep to let you know it is time to add them), a pause button, power failure backup, bake only cycle, and the ability to program 5 custom bread cycles. The price is great too.

Ugh! Love Good Grips products, but this one is a stinker Rarely do I return anything that I buy on my own accord but I purchased this based on the Mario Batali infomercial demonstrating this product.When I attempted to use this product, the grip was awkward and did hold a chunk of the food product - the blades were really dull mangling the food I was trying to slice.I tried to slice green peppers and mushrooms - both did not slice well. I packed up this and returned it promptly.Trust me, you would be better off using a knife than this product! If I could give this zero stars I would!

It's Ok for carpets To keep the long story short: I own it for 6+ months, it works Ok for carpets to remove stains when using hand tool (get ready for hard work). Standard mode does not do much as well as TurboBrush works for marketing purposes only. As for hardfloor cleaning - this thing fails miserably (bare floor attachemnt does not help much eaither).As for chemicals - look for other brands. Bissel cleaning solutions are useless. I've tried Pink Solution and it works well, but remember to use hot water for SmartMix Tank on the last run - otherwise this chemical may cloak the system. Scotchgard is a joke - carpets stay cleaner without it.On the positive side - it is powerful and I really like the water tank idea - easy to replace and clean.

KitchenAid Pro 600 Series Mixer I purchased this KitchenAid Pro 600 Series 6 Mixer for my husband who is the cook in the house and he loves it. We are now making our own bread without all the preservatives in regular bread. And he is experimenting with other foods just to test the mixer out. It does dough great. I am going to buy the slicer/shredder attachments for him soon. I am glad Amazon had this on special on that day, or I would have never purchased it. Thanks Amazon.com Joann

Don't buy this!!! I bought Farberware because of my previous experience with them. I received a Farberware percolator as a wedding gift. It lasted over 50 years.

Best sandwich grill I ever tried Being an older person, I was made my grilled sandwichs on the stove. This is much easier and much quicker. About 65 years ago, GE made a grill, that also had changeable plates for waffles. This was very nice, but no longer made. Thank you for bringing the sandwich grill back. It is so simple to use and cleanup. The sandwiches are great.

tiny sticks I was shocked to recieve 4 sticks instead of 4 nice potted plants. The michigan bulb website says it's "normal" for ALL their plants to look dead when they arrive. That is NOT normal at the Gurreney's website where I've had much success. Apparently I spent Over $20 bucks on four little sticks that won't look like the pictures for over 5 years. That's what the folks at michigan bulb told me. 5 years. Next spring they will have leaves, so at least they will be prettier, but I didn't buy them to raise sticks for a year :)

not as advertised These fitted sheets don't fit my mattresses. Although the description claims that they fit mattresses up to 15" as has become standard, the packaging states they fit up to 13". Unfortunately, I had already washed and ironed them before I tried them on the bed and discovered the gaps on each side. They were line dried, too, so I know they didn't do any shrinking in the dryer.The unwrapped set gets returned; looks like I get to pay to ship them back. I am not thrilled about finding and waiting for another set from somewhere else.

Mom likes it Good kitchen shears. Well being honest... I don't know much about kitchen afares. I bought it for mother's day and my mom actually didn't please about my present. Don't give kitchenwares to mom by the way. They want something more gifty. Anyway, some months later, she said that she likes its usability and quallity. She said Henckels' are mostly very good and it is the case this time again, although she complained again the very fact that I got kitchen stuff for gift.

Not for the casual cook! This wok requires seasoning, something I was totally unprepared for. I am a casual cook who just wanted to wok around a little. Additionally, there was no warning that seasoning a wok on an electric stove is extremely difficult. Once the wok is seasoned (good luck!), it requires much extra care, and can never be washed with soap. Try the non-stick version of this or any wok if you, like me, are a casual cook.

Great cups for lunch. Here's a tip on those lids... I agree with some other reviews that the lids leave little to be desired. They stain badly and don't really vent well when getting super-heated in the super-nuker at work. Here's what to do: Loosen that lid but keep it placed on top while heating. Even better, put a layer of paper towel between the cup and the lid, so whatever food is in the cup doesn't splash up and stain the lid. Even when I'm not heating it, and using it to store leftovers in the fridge, I put a small piece of plastic wrap on top of the mug to keep it separated from the lid. The lid still seals securely, and you won't get stained lids. All and all, a great, sturdy item, easy to clean, easy to transport.

Would recommend this coffeemaker I am really enjoying this coffeemaker. It makes a very good cup of coffee using coffee grounds and the permanent filter is very easy to rinse out and clean. When using coffee pods it is less effective as I have found I need to use 2 per 10 ounce cup of coffee otherwise it tastes like hot water. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to others.

not worth the money These are nice and sturdy, wont bend or break, and look great the day you take them out of the box. Never ever put them in a dishwasher and never use soap to wash them. I got 5 sets because we thought we finally found daily use flat wear that would last forever. Problem is they rust!!!!!!!!!! And it can happen in as little as one week after using them. I am extreamly disappointed in this item. Now i have to throw them away and start all over again.

They Don't Last! I own the Frog and the Elephant. After one year, the Frog wouldn't output any moisture unless it was turned to full blast. I checked to make sure that the fan wasn't blocked, and it wasn't. It just quit working. After just a matter of months the Elephant quit working all together. It only made a grinding noise when turned on. I am extremely dissapointed with this product and DO NOT recommend it!

Great Buy!!!! I bought this about a half a year ago and have never looked back; This was one of the greatest purchasers I have made. I am from the south were it is dusty, hot, and muggy. This porduct has faced the toughest conditions and has come out victorious on the end. i dont know why other people have given this a bad review. This dehumidifer is much quieter than most others and most importantly, doe swhat its supposed to . not to mention this classy design. It fits easily into any room in my house and i serves many purposes. I reccomend this to any especially with pets or allergies.

Great humidifier I like to make it shortPro1) Quiet2) put out just right amount of mist for my 20 x 16' bedroom3) Cheap and good looking design4) Filter-less - save money on filterCon1) White dust build up if using tap water - 2 days of using it2) Expensive if using distilled water as recommended by manufacturer- $1/day - I used distilled water for 3 days and it is free of white dustI ended up using filtered water after 5th day instead for cost saving, but I have to let it stand for 24 hours before I fill the tank up just to let the fluorine getting out. This works best me.No more white dust, no more frequent trip to grocery store for distilled water, and best of it, no filter replacement but just my drinking water filter only

Very deceiving product! The towels look and feel thick, rich and fluffy. But, don't let their appearance fool you...or the positive ratings. They do not absorb the water. Instead, you dry yourself with a "wet" towel. The water droplets stay on the fabric, as though there is something in the dye or cotton that repels water. They are a great buy if you only intend to hang them in a spare bathroom for appearance. But, their practicality is questionable, as is their dollar value. Sorry.DMS

Piece of Junk twice in a row I bought this machine the first time in 2003 on the recommendation of a salesperson. It worked very well for three years and then just quit putting out solution. We sent for a replacement part but the shampooer never worked again. So, I figured maybe 3 years was its lifespan. I ordered the same but slightly updated model again in December, 2006. This time the solution dispenser switch failed in only 8 months. I might add that I had not used this 2nd machine very much at all. One failure I could chalk up to a lemon--a 2nd failure in such a short time I can only conclude that the product is defective. Not only will I never purchase anything from Bissell again I will try and leave feedback about my bad experience everyplace I can. BTW, I bought this through Amazon. I give the shampooer an F.

Great quality for the price I was a little skeptical about buying these bath towels because of how inexpensive they were but after reading a few of the comments I decided to purchase just one set to try out. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these towels. They are don't take long to dry even though they are super fluffy, they are a great size, and they come in a wide variety of colors. Now I only wish I had purchased more when they were on sale.

Good for standard home use I've owned mine for over a year and with almost daily use (many times even twice a day) it still works as well as the first time. It's possible the harsher reviews here may be consumers expecting a commercial-quality blender. Make no mistake, this is not a Vita-Mix machine and it isn't intended to work like one. It's great for normal home consumer use and has paid for itself in my opinion.I don't rate this a 5-star item because it does not have a smoothie "stir-stick" attachment in the top (the thing that those cheap smoothie makers have). If Black & Decker offered that attachment as an option for this blender, I would give it 5 stars.Here are the caveats:You have to use some common sense with the ice crushing, which can be frustrating if you expect to throw a bunch of ice cubes in and have a smoothie in seconds with no effort. I find I do have to stop the pulsing, remove the lid, and stir the ice and ingredients around many times before seeing any action (hence why the "stir stick" attachment is needed). If you let the motor continue revving without stirring the ingredients to give it resistance, the motor will burn out -- as will an $80 or $100 blender.Also, you'll need to use a recipe (as with most blenders). If you don't put the right ingredients in there to help liquify the product and get it at a good consistency early you will have trouble. Just tossing in a bunch of fruit and ice won't blend right, won't give you the expected results, and will decrease the life of your motor.

Broke after a Year Liked it at first. But if you want a lot of pepper it will give your hand/wrist a workout. After a year and not even finishing off one refill the handle broke out of the main base. I'll go with an electric one next time.

absolutely the best fan ever made I don't know why anybody hasn't commented on this fan because it is absolutely the best by far. I have owned every brand of fan and this one takes the cake. On low setting it is whisper quiet and blows the perfect amount of air to sleep to. Its even quieter than my 16 in holms fan that I threw in the garbage. On high setting its like sitting in a wind tunnel :-) perfect when you get out of the shower and need to cool off and dry. I saw this same fan at Sears for $110._

Love this chopper! This little beauty is great! I have never used a food processor before, and I was unsure about buying this one because I was afraid it would just take up space on my tiny counter without being used.

Perfectly serviceable For the price ($14.95), I thought these sheets were excellent. Yes, they come out of the dryer a little bit wrinkled. But for heaven's sake, they're 100% cotton. What do you expect? They were no more wrinkled than any other 100% cotton sheets I have owned, and they cost half as much. Some customers have complained of pilling, but I didn't see any. I washed the sheets in warm water and removed them from the dryer promptly. They weren't as smooth as when they came out of the package, but that's just because they had been ironed before packaging. If you wanted to take the trouble to iron these, they would be like new.I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

The Giver Review The Giver is a pretty good book. It had exciting parts in it. It is about a community that has no color or pain. Everyone is equal there except the Giver and Jonas. They have to experience pain and suffering. Then one day they think of a good plan. Jonas leaves so that the community can experience the pain and memories. Jonas found out what they did when people got releast. He was horrified when he found out that they were killed with a poision. He didn't want that to happen to the baby that lived with him till it wouldn't cry during the night. So when Jonas left the community, he took the baby with him. He pedalled for days and days. Sometimes he had to hide from jet-planes that flew overhead looking for him. He pedalled till it snowed and finally reached a place called Elsewhere where no one ever went to before. The ending kind of leaves you hanging. But it is still a good book.

Dyson Impressive machine overall. I've had a problem with some carpets causing the beater bar to stop resulting in the loud percussive clicking of the beater bar clutch. Looking around on the internet, this seems to be fairly common. I understand the clutch is there to prevent issues with the beater bar breaking things, but the clutch seems a bit weak on mine.The attachments are great for hard floors, and furniture.I am amazed at what it pulls out of my carpets every time I use the machine, but the beater bar is pretty annoying for a machine at this price point, even the refurbished one.

Just the Worst Junk Don't waste your time on this product or any of their line. I bought 3 at a price of $19.99 each. Why this particular one is over $40, I don't know. The pieces are all cut wrong. Out of the 3 I purchased, I was able to get enough pieces together to make 2 full cubes. The directions are terrible and the sliders don't fit into the holes. You have to pound them in, and since the sliders are made of plastic, breakage is very likely. Once you get them together, the drawers don't slide well and it's hard to shut the drawer all the way because of the mis-cut pieces. When the drawer is open all the way, the cube wants to tip over, so if you are wanting a single cube, you'll have to secure it to the wall or floor.I don't usually write reviews, but this product is so inferior, that I just had to give a warning.

This iron works great! I actually enjoy using this iron! I've had it for a few months now and so far it is working great. I really enjoy the retractable, self-winding cord and the automatic shut-off features. It glides smoothly over all of the fabrics I've tried it on. The toughest job I've given it so far is removing the wrinkles along the hems of my cotton sheets. The steam removes most of the wrinkles, or at least minimizes them enough so you don't notice them. I'm very pleased with this purchase from Amazon.

Disintegrates after a while I loved these spatulas and I had them for a while but I had to throw them away because they got so bad. Don't expect them to last more than a year or so.

Save your money I had a mug that was similar in appearance that I purchased from Eddie Bauer many years ago but unfortunately lost. Eddie Bauer no longer markets the cup and so I purchased this one to replace it. I'm severely disappointed in the mug's ability to keep its contents warm. A hot cup of coffee cools rapidly. It appears the quality of the materials and construction are just not the same as my Eddie Bauer mug. An example being that the protective rubber bottom was already peeling off when the mug arrived and after it did peel off in the first washing, the crudely tack welded bottom of the cup was revealed. Save your money. Don't buy this product.

Sadly not worth it I have an all pink theme to my kitchen and happened to need a new smallo food chopper/processor so my mom got me it for my birthday. I'm sad that it wasn't worth her money spent. The first time I used it, it kept getting stuck (I was chopping a scant 1/4 C of onions), the second time it leaked everywhere, and the third time it burnt out and stopped working (I was mixing a few berries into a 1/2 C of yogurt). My mom took it back and I went and purchased a cheap no-name brand food processor- still works today! I would definitely invest in a bigger food processor possibly from Cuisinart or Kitchen aid as I've heard great things about both brands food processors that are large, but not this one again.

Amazing Kitchenaide My husband bought this for me for Christmas cause he knew how bad I wanted one and for how long. I tell you, money well spent!!!! I love this machine!! This isnt the EXACT color that i wanted but its growing on me and now i think its gorgeous! I highly recommend the Kitchenaide to any and everyone! Its quiet, easy to clean, durable and it serves so many other purposes other than just baking. If you are torn between whether or not to buy this...DO IT, you wont regret it!

pasta machine I ordered and returned this item twice. I was under the impression, I was ordering a new./ never used product. Both times the item was used, not completely cleaned with some visible rust spots, and a piece missing. I have returned it and ordered elsewhere.

I Expected More I thought these sheets were great for the price until I washed them. After three washes they are pilling. I did not think sheets with this thread count would do that.

Great stand, needs more understanding... ;) I bought these a few years ago and have been VERY happy with them. They are quite well built and I love that they are bent at the top to focus on your target. My only complaint is that at full extension the base is a little too small and they are easily tipped over by pets and children. I am manufacturing a secondary base to attach them to. It would have been nice if there were slide-out 'tip bars' or something to expand the base when needed. I have also noticed that the base tends to somehow unscrew itself over time and must be tightened every few months. Still - these are far more useful and visually appealing than any other speaker stands that I have seen.

Very good but some flaws This is a very good little appliance, but I can't quite give it five stars. Here are the strengths and weaknesses:Strengths:1. Fantastic at baking. It heats up fast, and it's a great alternative to a full-sized oven, and the convection oven works very well. I love this.2. It's big enough to cook a whole pan of brownies (9 x 9 pan). I'm pretty sure you could cook a whole small chicken in there too (though I haven't tried this).3. Sturdy, well-constructed, feels like it's going to last a while.Weaknesses:1. Toast! It takes a long time to toast compared to my old toaster oven. If you lower the rack, the toast gets burn marks on it.2. Controls are poorly designed - it's hard to figure out how to do stuff with it. I still can't figure out how to raise the temperature once you've already got the oven going, and I filed the instructions away already.3. Crumb tray access through the back - this is an inconvenience more than anything.4. The fact that you have to pull the rack out to get at anything is surprisingly annoying. I didn't think this would bother me, but it does a little.Though it looks as if there are more weaknesses than strengths, I still give it 4 stars because it is so good at what it does well, and the construction is so sturdy.

BATH FIXTURE The robe hook hook was promptly delivered. It works very well as a bath towel hook too. The finish is great and it looks nice on the wall and with all the other fixtures.

Not what I expected This was ok, not great quality. I bought another Wamsutta product and the quality was bad with that one too. Do not buy unless you want cheap sheets.

Very poor quality This was not at all what I expected it to be. It was hard to take apart, and worse to put back together. I returned it without even trying it. It just wasn't a good purchase at all.

Love this sifter! This sifter is exactly what you want. The sifting action is great, no quantity/time of sifting trouble like other reviewers. I filled it up with my dry ingredients and it sifted through the whole amount easily and with little effort. The design is good and the caps/lids for both ends are AWESOME. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Fast, Easy, Fun and Great Taste! I purchased the Tassimo about 1 1/2 months ago. I just love it. The water cannister is large and includes a water filter to remove impurities. I really enjoy the Gevalia and Kenco coffees. The Cappuccino and Latte's are also very good and the milk really froths. The beverages are always exactly the right temperature. Not too hot. Just right to drink immediately. I also like the manual feature which works very well with the espresso t-discs. After dispensing the "appropriate amount". You can press and hold the button to dispense more espresso into your cup. This will not work with the coffee t-discs, but I believe the flavor of the espresso discs holds up with this process and you can get more drink out of the discs this way (also works with tea).I do wish there were more selections of tea and such, but I contacted Kraft and they said that come October, more Kraft brands will participate in this venture.

Kitchen Aid Grinder Product is awesome. Performs just how I would have expected. Quality is top notch. Recommend to anyone who wants to grind meat etc... with their Kitchen Aid mixer.

Cheap plastic crap My food processor managed to destroy itself almost as soon as I started using it. The machine barely managed shredding cheese and it did a very poor job of cutting potatoes. After the half an hour of use when it finally stopped working completely I took it apart (it was a wedding present that wasn't even used till after its warranty expired) I found it had failed in two separate places where meter gears connected to plastic gears.Do not buy this product and if you have already take it back while you still can.

Inconsistent Bought this scale based on Consumer Report reviews. Found scale to be inaccurate. Gives a different weight each time, varying by 2 or 3 pounds

No Customer Service at Sealy My first set of Sealy sheets lasted a full four years, enduring weekly washings. They got softer with every wash, fit my very oversized mattress beautifully, and were wonderful to sleep on.Unfortunately, my old washer decided to eat the bottom sheet, so I pulled out my backup package of these 300 thread count sheets.After the second wash, the bottom sheet started pilling terribly. They are not of the same smooth fabric I enjoyed for so long with the first set. I had purchased a set for my sister, which she put on prior to my opening the backup package. My brother-in-law complained about the pilling after only a few washings, but I thought he was exaggerating the issue.I sent a very nice email to Sealy, advising them of the problem with the second set, and asked if they could advise what might be causing the pilling. I received no response whatsoever. In this day and age, most businesses pride themselves on customer service.I have since started putting on the bottom sheet inside-out to buy myself a few weeks, while I search for another brand. By a company who values their customers.

it sucks (really sucks), do not buy it. I can not add anything new, but to recap: replacements filters are impossible to get, battery life is short, batteries not powerfull enough for more than 5 minutes at a time (when they were new), and batteries can not be replaced unless you have a degree in appliance engineering. Just buy something else, anything else, I hope this is as bad as they get.

Never again, Cuisinart! Like many others, I was attracted to the sleek design of this coffeemaker. However, after going through FOUR of these makers in the last 5 years (yes, I am a bit slow sometimes) I am through with this coffeemaker, which in my view suffers from a number of design flaws. First, as others have noted, you need to use an inordinate amount of coffee grinds to make a reasonably strong pot of coffee (my new Kitchenaid coffeemaker will pay for itself in no time in coffee bean savings). Further, it's all to easy for the grinds to spill over into the well during brewing, and once that occurs, the coffeemaker is doomed. Before long, it has trouble brewing and most of the water is dissipated as steam. My email to Cuisinart documenting the most recent coffee maker failure went unanswered. When I called, Cuisinart refused to do anything for me because I did not have my receipt and the manufacture date was 3 and a half years ago, even though I am quite certain that I purchased the maker less than 3 years ago. I purchased a Kitchenaid coffee maker a couple of weeks ago, and so far, am pleased. The coffee comes out hotter and stronger. I'll have to see whether it holds up longer than the Cuisinart...

Just what I wanted and needed! The nylon pan scrapers are exactly what I was looking for. I had some of these before, but they were accidentally thrown away. I would recommend this product to everyone! They get stuck on food off with very little effort.

Oregon Scientific RM313PNA Self-Setting Projection Clock, Silver We are very satisfied with the projection clock. It is exactly what we wanted. It does not show up on the ceiling during daylight, which I appreciate.

An Exercise in Frustration I just wrote this to Brita about my slim pitcher:I have model 0803 and to say I hate it would be an understatement. If I hated it just a tiny bit more, it would be in the garbage even though it isn't two months old and I have four more filters to use.The lid falls off whenever I try to pour out of it, the innards want to fall out which probably makes the lid come off, and the little spout thingy falls off. It is as though no one ever actually tried to USE the darn thing before they sent a whole load of them to WalMart.Just so's you know--it's a piece of garbage and I'll never trust the Brita brand again.-----Seems to be a different model than the one on Amazon, but the other reviewers have the same problems I did except no carbon in the bottom in my case. This pitcher stinks. Try another brand.

KitchenAid stand mixer I was not pleased when I tried to whip a butter cream frosting. The mixer did not go fast enough to whip it fluffy before it would shut off.I had to use my hand mixer to finish the frosting. This is the only complaint I have with it. I would buy again but maybe not one this big.

Good idea, poor product Even without putting anything, it bends backward. May probably hold only packs of foil paper. Bought 4 of these, not enjoyed it at all. Not recommended!!!

Not happy with my purchase It's suppose to be set of 4 and I only got 3. I was very disappointed when I opened the box. I thought they would have covers too but they didn't. I would not reccomend this product.

Bad Coffee This purchase was very disappointing. Although it's attractive, it is designed in a strange way in regard to the basket and how it attachs to the rest of the product. No instructions about this and putting it together was a real headscratcher for a klutz like me. Unfortunately, it turned out to make rather bad coffee as well. If I want a decent cup of coffee,I'm afraid I will be forced to buy a replacement for this product.

A little heavy but functional This waffler is not so stylish as some others, heavier than a lot, and it doesn't flip over like many current wafflermakers. However...it works. The temperature dial leaves a bit to the cook's judgement and experience, with quite a range labeled "waffles". I started with the mid point, and that worked fine with Fiber One Pancake and Waffle Mix.The reversable plates make sandwiches, grilled cheese, etc. pretty easy as well. You can even make pancakes or other grill items on the smooth side of the cooking plates.And the best part...the cooking plates are removable for washing. That was my first requirement in a waffler, which can get messy sometimes.

Christmas Present No, not a present for me but for my husband. All of last year he had grumbled about our glass bowls disappearing. Santa found these bowls on Amazon and left them under the tree for my husband. Now, how many men get glass bowls for Christmas? He loved the bowls, and I eas happy because he was happy!

When good, good; when defective, DISASTROUS Bought a new one for octogenarian parents. Worked 2 months (just past return time without penalty). Paid in excess of $50. for shipping another. It has NEVER worked. Rating: NO STARS!!!! (I had to give one just to do the review)

Neato, simple, tasty A simple coffee maker that grinds and brews very good coffee. Although the manual says not to, I've found no problems with throwing the two plastic parts, and the permanent filter, into the dishwasher. Clean-up is easiest I've seen of any grind-brew maker of this type. A cool machine, makes good coffee, and I like it!

Not for 9 or 11 cup bowls This blade is for tiny bowls, it is way too small for 9 cup ones so the food gets pushed to the sides where the blade does not reach it.
