Awesome Price for Great Sheets
We bought this set in King plus an extra set King pillow cases. The total price was less than what you'd expect to pay just for the sheet set. The sheets have a great sheen to them, and feel great when in bed. Like the other customer that bought the "Sand" color, we noticed that under luorescent lighting the color appears to have a light olive-green cast. That minor problem disappeared in the darker environs of the bedroom. We are ordering another set in a different color. Oh, as for the review about the sheets "pilling" after only one week, we did not have that problem. We have 8 dogs that share our King-size bed (now you know why we have a King) and the sheets still look new. We have washed them twice, and they are folded and stored in the linen closet ready for the next time we use them.Overall, I recommend these sheets. At this price they are a steal! | 1positive

Quality is lousy - and seller has disappeared
Only had this a few weeks and the knob to tighten the line already broke. I do NOT recommend buying this product as you will be wasting your money! I can't track down the seller and I am NOT going to get just a partial refund from Amazon (plus pay shipping) for a defective item that has already broken. Next time I will shop locally so I can return a bad product. | 0negative

KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl
This is an excellent mixer. The wife has used it several times and she loves it. I bought all the extras including the specal mixer paddle with the plastic edge. She said the edge makes the mixer work a lot better and cakes come out with more raised layers. | 1positive

It became useless in less than a month.
In about one month, during which I used it about 10 nights, it started losing air and became useless. Re-pumping didn't help. Also, since it was impossible to locate the leakage, there was little that could be done. A piece of junk. | 0negative

disappointing purchase
These towels may be soft but they are not very good quality, and I definitely wouldn't purchase them again. I had only washed these towels once when I noticed that the hem was already unraveling on both towels, exposing an unattractive unfinished edge. Also, I think it's strange that the decorative bands (2 stripes of different textured fabric, same color as the towel) only appear on one edge of the towel. I don't understand why they made them asymmetrical like that. I suspect they sent me a batch of factory seconds. | 0negative

Seems overpriced
Sure, it's fun to make ice cream this way once in a while as a novelty, but I've been making ice cream in a similar fashion just using a pair of emptied out coffee cans (nest the little one inside the big one, with the salt and ice packed between them) for years. I guess what you're getting for your $30 is something that's cuter than a coffee container. Personally, I'd pass on the cuteness and pocket the $30. | 0negative

600 thread count sateen sheets

Messy, Weak, Cheaply Made
My work replaced a commercial vacuum with this junker. Pickup has always been weak (even when it was new). Emptying is an inconvenient mess. (Removing the dust cup usually gets dust all over.) Product looks and feels like a toy.Get a model that uses a disposable bag instead. Stay far away from this bagless junk, unless you enjoy choking on dust when it comes time to empty it.UPDATE: Even though this unit was only about 3 years old and was only used once a week to clean an area that is not real big, it just completely died. No power at all. There was a burning smell coming from the power switch, as well as noises that sounded like sparks arcing. What a piece of crap. | 0negative

Disappointing
False advertising. It is only 15'-16' *fully* stretched and is only a "20' reach with wands and crevice tool" according to the tiny print on the bottom box. This is not an extension but fits as a replacement, so you are only getting 9'-10' more reach than the original 6' hose. That is still helpful, altho the quality of the tubing is 1/2 that of the original hose and will not sustain pulling or pinching with the same durability. | 0negative

The best spoons ever!
These spoons are used almost every day in my kitchen. They are so adaptable to many uses and I find I use them more than any others. The large spoon is perfect for making soups while the small one has been used in so many things that I have lost count. | 1positive

Do not buy this product!
Okay, so it was a great product WHILE IT LASTED! Purchased it about 6 months ago and used it for grilling lots of things - it was a permanent fixture on my countertop! Used it approximately 2-3 times per week, then it decided to (without warning) take a dump last night in the middle of grilling panini! Apparently, lots of others have had the same problem, so clearly a flaw with the product. Given the numerous choices now on the market (many with removable parts for easier clean-up), do yourself a favor and skip this product! | 0negative

Most Annoying Alarm Clock You Can Buy
With my job I am constantly switching between day shifts and night shifts on the ambulance. I can't afford to not wake up and I was never sure if 6:45 was am or pm. This clock solves both of those problems. The tone on this thing is loud and very annoying. There is no way you could sleep through it. Add the bed shaker and you will be jolted awake. The military time capability is awesome and the battery back up is the cherry on top. If you like missing work, sleeping in, or want to be woken up gently, this clock is not for you. | 1positive

REFURBISHED (SECOND HAND GOODS) AND LACKING FULL WARRANTY - Amazon is a HUGE disappointment!
My review is not in reference to the quality of the product; but rather a warning to potential buyers via Amazon. I purchased this food processor on Black Friday 2012 as a lightning deal. Upon it's arrival, I found that the serial number was not engraved on the bottom. Instead of the engraving, I found a sticker. After contacting Cuisinart customer service, they confirmed that the machine was a refurbished unit and not a new item. I contacted Amazon customer service, and they promised to investigate and send me a new item. The next day I received a SECOND refurbished unit. Again, I contacted customer service. They only offered the option of my returning the machine for a refund.I'm so disappointed with Amazon. They are fraudulently selling refurbished Cuisinart food processors as though they are new items and feel no obligation to stop doing so or to make it right with the customers they continue to mislead.Please know that instead of the 3 year warranty you are entitled on a new machine, you'll only have 90 days from purchase with these 2nd hand units. Amazon could care less about being honest with us as customers. There are many ways they could have tried to make it right (starting with disclosing their error on the product page!), but instead they continue to mislead folks into thinking they're buying new machines. | 0negative

Telescopic Wand broke within 6 months- buy something else!
This vacuum performed well for the first 6 months, when the height adjustment to the telescopic wand broke.So the handle extends and contracts as you vacuum. I called the manufacturer and they said this was not covered under the warranty. I have been waiting for a month now for the replacement part, and received notice today that it will be another 3-4 weeks before it comes. Ugh! Buy something else. Poor customer service and warranty! | 0negative

Yellow Submarine
The little yellow submarine..this thing should be thrown off a pier & sink into oblivion. This vacuum SUCKS..and not in a good way. Yes, it's great for about the first day, but after about 4 times vacuuming my house & after what seems like hundereds of stops to clean out the extremely messy filters & cup (which seemed to leave as much dirt on the vacuum & carpet as was being picked up), the vacuum just decided to stop working: no belt problems, nothing clogged - it just stopped working. I've pulled the entire vacuum apart to try to find an answer, but there is none. Save your money & buy a good vacuum. This is not worth the pain. | 0negative

Way to big
Comically large. I believe these should be used as a set prop for the stage version of The Incredible Shrinking Woman. I don't know any family, with exception of the Duggars that would use this much salt and pepper in a lifetime. | 0negative

Choose another personal coffee maker
I just bought this machine and was so puzzled why 2/3 of the water was going into one cup, overflowing, while the other remained half full. I tried it twice, thinking maybe the spout was blocked on one end. After doing two clean-ups, I went online to find other people saying the same thing: the product is defective. Sure, you may want to try to level the machine "perfectly," but who has the time? My table is perfectly flat but it still spilled over one cup - should you need a level reader to make coffee? Should I keep moving it around the table, propping up one side slightly, with multiple spills until I get the right positioning? I do not want to have to monitor the output before I leave for the morning. The whole point of this device for me is/was to get two good cups of coffee, not one, with minimal effort. Disappointing. | 0negative

KitchenAid Mixer
For years I have wanted a KitchenAid Mixer and on Cyber Monday 2011 I made the leap. Purchased the Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer and I am THRILLED with my purchase. Upon reading other reviews I was expecting it to be loud and was pleasantly surprised that it was not. The few times I have used it in the past two weeks it has exceeded my expectations. Great product! Great service! Thank you Amazon for the great deals that you offer. | 1positive

Not very satisfied
Hi! Just got my sheets the other day. I ordered the taupe color that is shown, but it doesn't look anything like the color that is on your monitor. I wanted a 'warm', earthy color sheet, but ended up with gold. Yes, the color is more like a light tan/gold. Also, I have a full bed and ordered the same size sheet. Although the package reads that it is made for a full bed, it is way too big. It seems to fit more like a queen size. I had to tuck the sides under in order for it to fit. I put them in the wash and am hoping that they shrink in the dryer. | 0negative

So far I think it's great
I've owned this about a month now. It's small and meant for smaller spaces. It's also a little on the noisy side but I still like it! I like that it's smaller, it seems to work well and I like that it contains the air ionizer. | 1positive

An excellent appliance!
This T-Fal toaster oven is solidly constructed and performs beautifully. The heating is very even, be it a bagel, a small frozen pizza, or even a steak. It works well in all of the three modes--toast, bake, and broil. I have found that it heats more evenly than my conventional oven. I am also impressed with how easy it is to clean. Most of the accessories have non-stick coating. Some occasional maintenance cleaning of the crumb tray (which pops out, CD-style) and the glass door are really all that is required. This is a terrific bargain. I find that I use it all the time and it even inspires my cooking. | 1positive

I dont cry anymore when chopping onions
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you have to quarter the onion to get the product to pop and chop onions properly. I havent really used this on any other veges, but with quartered up onions this product works great!! | 1positive

Pretty.....for a paper bag!!
Beautiful color......Not worth it. They actually keep me awake with their crackly paper sound.....stiff, noisy sheets.....yeah, just what you want! Not my idea of inviting comfort.....Never soften when washed. I just can't figure who would actually enjoy these scratchy,noisy sheets.Go figure. | 0negative

The Little Casserole That Could
The Circulon Elite 5.5 quart casserole is a superior cook pot. I have an entire set of Circulon Elite cookware and am delighted with every piece. Heat is cirulated evenly, it is truly nonstick, the lid fits tight and it is a dream to clean. The handles on the lid and pot do not heat up, therefore, one can move or pick up the pot while it's hot. Reminder to use only wood or nylon nonabrasive utensils so you won't scratch the nonstick surface of the pan. | 1positive

Total Crap
Right out of the box it was defective. Said that my roast was 380 degrees when I pulled it out of the fridge. Tested in on a cooked roast, said that the temperature was too high to measure at ver 450 degrees. Riiiiiiiight.Utter piece of garbage, this product. | 0negative

Not for professional use
Morale of the story: you can't get it wet, don't ever drop it and it's not gonna work in three months anyways. I bought one of these for my restaurant and after getting it wet, it stopped working. So I got another one and was more careful, this one had a lengthy run of three months(it looked a mess by the end, those button covers wear off in two weeks) before it crapped out. I've been on our third one now for two weeks, last night in the middle of service it got dropped from 3ft up and stopped working. | 0negative

Great slicer - great price!
Since I wrote my original review, I have tried doing more things with my V-slicer. I can now say with certainty that this is one great kitchen tool. I LOVE it. I have sliced almost anything that could be slice or julienned, and I have not been disappointed in anything. I even did tiny matchsticks of carrots and it worked like a charm. If you want tiny dices of bell pepper, all you have to do is use the small julienne blade and run the whole pepper through the slicer and you get these teeny tiny pieces of bell pepper. Again, I don't know how I lived without it this long. If I could go back and change the rating to 5 stars, I would.-----------------------Original review:-----------------------I have never had a slicer/mandoline before, but have always wanted one. I decided to get the Borner V-Slicer after reading all the reviews on this one and on some other brands. It indeed is as sharp as everyone says it is. In fact, it goes through things so effortlessly, I have to check to make sure it is actually slicing the item. I have been able to slice very ripe tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots, onions, and bell peppers. I was wary of trying the bell pepper because it is hollow and not as firm as some of the other vegetables I tried, but it sliced it perfectly.I have not gotten the hang of doing the julienne strips yet, but I have only tried carrots and I believe they were a little too hard. I think it will do fine with potatoes or zucchini. All in all, I am very pleased with my V-slicer.At first, I thought the safety holder will keep too much of the food from slicing and there would be a lot of waste, but this is not the case. Most things slice all the way down to a very small piece - maybe 1/4" or less.I do think there could be a few more instructions or hints as to how to position the food on the safety holder in order to do the slicing, but, so far, I'm happy. | 1positive

Expensive, but well worth the price
Yes, you can go to a discount seller and get cheaper sheets, but this is one example of "you get what you pay for". I had bought thinner 600 count Egyptian cotton sheets at a department store only to have them pill after a couple of washings. These are actually economical when you factor in that they will last years. The ELS fibers are fantastic and as good or better than Egyptian, and the fit, finish and quality are immediately obvious. | 1positive

not comfortable...used it a few times..then just stopped

a suspenseful story
The GiverBy Lois LowryEven though The giver is set in the future, lois Lowry makes you feel like you are feeling all the emotions that Jonus is going through. You feel his emotions and have absolutely no idea what will happen to Jonus next. It is a constant mystery.Jonus has been raised to be perfect, Well, like everyone else anyway. From his language to his personality he has to be absolutely precise. No one lies, no one cheats, no one steals, no one has to everyone is the exact same. Jonus has just been selected to do a job that is dangerous, important, and painful. Can he handle the pressure of keeping it all a secret , or will he turn out like the mysterious and dishonored previous recivor. This is tested when he finds the true secret of his community and the lies that everyone has been telling him. This book ties in mystery with human conflict perfectly.This book made me think about our world today? Is it perfect? Are we oblivious like Jonus? Will our world turn out to be like that in the book someday? throught the whole book this Question kept popping up in my mind. The community is so terrible yet so smoothly run. People don't get hurt people get assigned jobs to their abilityThe reason I love this book is because the human conflict is so strong. Should he confide in others his burden? Keep it a secret? Or help the one that he loves stay alive?" Jonas felt a ripping sensation inside himself, the feeling of terrible pain clawing its way forward to emerge in a cry."There is so much emotion in this book that you feel with Jonus and you feel as though you have known him all your life. This book ties in mystery with human conflict perfectly.The only thing that I disliked about this book is how the author didn't create enough details about the lesson that The Giver gives Jonus. She skims briefly over the topic of Jonus's actual conversations with The giver.I was impossible for me to put this book down. I read it while I ate, talked on the phone and even when I brushed my teeth, It was that suspenseful. I would recommend this book not only to those who like Sci-fi but to readers of varying genres. | 1positive

Great Product - Works as Advertised and More

Gets the job done
Got this so when we are watching tv in the living room, the furnace won't kick on as much. This is perfect for the price. If you are cuddled up on the couch you can use the remote for all functions. Being on a pedestal is a great because it is the same height when you are on the couch. The oscillating mode is a plus as well. I am going to purchase another one for the basement for when my wife is playing solitaire in our computer room. | 1positive

Haven't Gotten It Yet!
I don't know what's happening with Amazon, but of the four items I ordered on March 3, I have received ONE of them so far... One book has yet to be sent out, and the two others, including this item, have supposedly been sent out but I have yet to receive them... And Amazon keeps on telling me to give it a few more days before contacting them again! So, I guess this one star review is less about the item than it is about the terribly slow service of Amazon... Stay tuned about the product itself, if and when it's ever received! | 0negative

Why can't you find these in a store?
These little pot scrapers are something every household should have. They ought to be as ubiquitous as cellulose sponges with an attached scouring pad.A little nylon scraper will save your scouring pads from shredding and turning black. It can scrape cast iron skillets without transferring any soap to the seasoned surface. Have you ever tried to get burnt cheese off of steel or aluminum? If you take care of it, the scraper will outlast 20 kitchen sponges before it gets any nicks or scratches.Why don't grocery stores stock these next to the Dawn or Palmolive bottles? It's because these scrapers are not disposable. You buy a 2-pack once, you're converted for life, but you never have to replace them. You're now buying fewer sponges. The store's gross margin is negative. | 1positive

Electrical Malfunction
This was a decent blender while it lasted. Crushes/blends ice and frozen fruits fairly well.One night, I heard a loud noise that I thought was the vacuum, only I knew that couldn't be it because my roommate never vacuums. I went to check it out, and it was the blender... started up by itself! I begun to believe in ghosts, but thought more likely it was a problem with the blender. I tried to get used to just keeping it unplugged.However, after about a year, the blender has become completely useless due to more electrical malfunction. The buttons don't do what they're supposed to do, sometimes I can't get it to run at all. I will look elsewhere for my next blender. | 0negative

Finish is too dark
I find that the dark nonstick finish cooks the edges of the cheesecake too fast, making it very easy to overcook the outside of the cheesecakes. They puff up in the oven and deflate like a souffle after coming out of the oven. I also have several Chicago Metallic Mini Cheesecake pans that I prefer; the aluminum finish bakes the cheesecake more evenly. I have compared cheesecakes baked in dark nonstick and aluminum pans side by side (both mini and full size) and found that cheesecakes baked more evenly in aluminum pans, looked better, and had a better texture. I won't use this pan again; I like my Chicago Metallic Mini Cheesecake pans much better. | 0negative

Openings Too Small
This was a very well made acrylic piece and the perfect size for small vanity drawers. Unfortunately, the openings for the lipsticks were too small for several of my lipsticks. Mac tubes and a couple of other ordinary brands would not fit into the square openings. Not wanting to keep my lipsticks in two different places, I returned the item. If the diameter of your lipsticks is on the narrow/small side, this would work very nicely. Otherwise, no. | 0negative

Not very useful
I don't know why anyone would need this. Doesn't do what it's designed to well enough to justify its drawer space.Pros:- It does work, though not with the miraculous ease other reviewers suggest- prevents garlic smelling hands (though you'd probably end up having to touch the garlic to chop it anyway, so garlicky hands are unavoidable to some extent)- pretty easy to cleanCons:- Needs to use some force. The silicone is not very sticky (a little slippery) so unless you press a little hard nothing happens to the garlic skin- A pain to use for many cloves of garlic. Little papery garlic skins get stuck after a while and the roller loses what little stickiness it had to begin with. Then you need to clean and dry this thing out to continue using.- Much more time consuming than smashing the garlic with the flat side of a knife- Uni-function. Literally does not have a single other useful purpose in the kitchen. I've tried to open jars with it (doesn't work, too slippery), use it as a potholder in a pinch (rolls around, barely avoided a burn), and as a nonslip trivet (too narrow) | 0negative

Attention black tea drinkers
As other reviewers wrote, this kettle is slow to turn itself off. With mine it takes maybe two minutes of boiling before it does; however, I wonder if that's intentional. Years ago, my mother (from Ireland) said that to make a good cup of tea (black tea only), you need to boil the water for two full minutes. The main reason tea tastes so bad in many diners and restaurants in the U.S. is that they fail to use water just off the boil.What I love about this kettle is that it boils water in the blink of an eye. No kidding, this is the fastest of any method I've tried in 30 years.I'm taking one star off because of the uncertainty around the auto-off function. I don't completely trust it. Also, the on/off switch is flimsy. It wouldn't take much to break this, as happened to one commentator. | 1positive

4.5
The glass cutting mat is great, smooth cutting surface. Only thing I can find that would improve it is if the glass had peg holes to center the curvy cutter template on the mat quickly and easily. This is the only drawback to the whole curvy cutter system for cutting out pictures is getting the template centered on the mat over the picture and getting the picture centered under the mat. If not peg holes at least some kind of marking that line up with the template. | 1positive

10 cup coffee maker
It is supposed to be a 12 cup coffee maker but after spilling several cups of coffee all over the counter and floor, I realized that the special patented lid prevents the carafe from filling all the way. So don't fill the coffee maker to the 12 cup mark, keep the max at 10 cups and you'll be ok. It does a good job making those 10 cups of coffee though. The spilled coffee did a great job leaving stains on the wall from spilling over the sides of the counter. I've never had a coffee maker overfill by bad design; of course, we only bought Mr. Coffee brand makers before. Cuisenart needs to wake up and fix this issue before someone sues them for property damage. Just make it a 10 cup coffee maker and everything else is fine. | 0negative

Brown Ecopad
The instructions tell you to use extra-fine ground coffee. I find that if the grind is too fine the ecopad does not perform as expected. It will give you a small amount of coffee and make a watery mess on your counter when you raise the Senseo lid. Using extra fine seems to inhibit the hot water passing through the unit and accumulates in and around the Ecopad. As I gind my own coffee I went from a extra fine setting to fine and brewed an excellent cup of coffee. | 1positive

Frustrated
I bought my ALL-Clad a year ago. I loved it.. it is my first slow cooker and even got my husband to cook. I noticed from the beginning some leakage but didn't think anything of it until my husband found a crack in the insert while cleaning it last week. i have never put insert in dishwasher, on the stove, or used any heavy duty utensils. I have tried to contact All-clad via email with no response and have been put on hold endlessly on the phone.I think I have thrown away $200 plus dollars. | 0negative

poor quality
I bought this 1000tc sheet set for my parents as a gift, when arrived they said the packaging was very dirty. After they unpacked it, they noticed the pillow cases were of lighter color than the rest of the set, which is quite unacceptable. I thought this was a great price for 1000tc set because I've bought sets for more than 2x the price, but I guess I got what I paid for. :) Now it's on its way back to Amazon, thank god for their generous return policy! | 0negative

Great customer service, too!
We bought this baby for Christmas last year. We absolutely love it, not only for coffee, but for tea made with tea bags, since unlike some other coffee makers, this machine gives you tasteless hot water instantly, an unexpected bonus. Unfortunately, it just stopped working. A quick call to Keurig and another one is on the way! No hassles whatsoever. You gotta love it. | 1positive

Cute but too fragile for everyday use
My husband and I put these on our wedding registry and received two sets of six. We now have only two bowls left. A few cracked in the dishwasher, but several others have just turned up cracked without our knowing what caused it. It's too bad -- we registered for them because they are the perfect size for desserts and snacks, and their shape makes them stackable (although stacking them may have caused some of the cracks). We wanted something nice-looking but durable and easy to clean and store. These seemed to fit the bill, but they've turned out to be too fragile for everyday use. We'll be replacing them with another product. | 0negative

SHARP MICROWAVES -- TOTAL JUNK!
Purchased this Sharp R-1501 microwave -- display started going bad within a year -- Sharp repaired once "as a courtesy". Now the microwave comes on by itself and does all types of screwy things -- Fear that it will burn my house down -- Sharp will not do anything about it -- Can you believe this? -- Am going to throw this POS in the dump and NEVER buy another Sharp product. | 0negative

good product
the on switch is a bit sensitive. You have to slowly move it but overall it works fine. | 1positive

Overall Great Product
This product works very well and have no complaints at all. This does a great job of grinding salt to an almost powerdery form. The mill is holding up and have had zero issues so far. | 1positive

Bad quality or bad luck? Consider my review.
I initially bought this honeywell air purifier for my bedroom to remove dust and to reduce odors. But I had to return it twice because it was defective.Pros:-Saves you money, it's the only air purifier with a permanent filter that you can just vacuum to clean.-Noise is acceptable on low, for the price.Cons:-Serious quality issues. It's seemingly a gamble if you're going to get a working one, i had to return it TWICE!:1. The first unit I received had a faceplate that was warped and did not stay on. I don't think it would filter with the faceplate half on, so had to send it back for a replacement.2. The replacement unit faceplate was normal but the ionizer made a static clicking noise when turned on. I called their customer support and they told me that is not normal and I need to get it replaced. Note: the first unit did not do this.- Under normal conditions it didn't seem to work that well. After running it for 12 hours on high, then 12 on low, it did not completely remove odors in my bedroom and the Ionizer was only slightly noticeable.-For people who need it to be almost silent on low, this isn't going to work for you. I could sleep with it on but the noise was noticeable. On medium to high, like one reviewer said, you're going to have to turn the tv up!Conclusion:The greatest strength of this purifier is that you don't have to buy replacement filters. But I got two defective ones in a row so I have to strongly suggest you look at other purifiers or another brand.Side note: Amazon.com was awesome about replacing it and refunding it, when a product is defective they give you a label to print out and you just put it back in the box and drop it at your local post office to return it for a full refund or replacement. I've always had a good experience with amazon they go above and beyond to keep the customer happy. Still this thing wasted a lot of my time returning it, so think twice. | 0negative

What's that smell?
This does almost nothing for odor even at first...uh...use, despite its entertaining fizzy property. Buy Liquid Gold (not the furniture polish!) porta-potty cleaner/deodorizer instead. | 0negative

Doesn't feel like a 400 thread count should
Perhaps it's the Martex brand or perhaps it's the poly blend, but this sheet isn't soft to the touch. it's still pretty new and i've only washed it twice, so i'm hoping it will get softer with some more wear, but i was disappointed with the feel of it and am still not in love. I have other 400 TC sheets that aren't by Martex that are much softer. | 0negative

The best book ever written!
Before reading the Giver I had never read a book over 100 pages, after, I read one a week! It was a real page-turner. My teacher assigned it to me to read before the end of the semester (4 weeks) and I finished it that night. I recommend it to anyone who has not yet found the "fun" in reading. This book changed my life, now I enjoy reading rather then thinking of it as a chore. A must for anyone who likes a story that makes you think. | 1positive

Terribly Expensive -- Yes Both

soda water "machine"
So disappointed because I gave this as an expenive gift without realizing the bottle needs new cartridges very frequently and they are not sold near us. So the gift was used for about one month, until these cartridges were used up. Too expensive to keep ordering more of these when they last for such a short time. | 0negative

Beautiful but distructive
BUYER BEWARE! I agree with the other reviews, these plates are BEAUTIFUL! Great size and shape, I have the Sage color as well. However, I used them for the first time last night at a dinner party and the bottoms of the plates and cups are so rough they scratched my solid oak, espresso stained table! Each place a cup or plate was set that wasn't on a placemat there were small scratches left behind. If you always use a table cloth or have a granite or stone table they would be fine, but I wouldn't ever put them on a quality wood table again. Fortunately Amazon makes returning easy. | 0negative

Poor Engineering
I did a lot of research before buying this humidifier; the engineering that went into it was offensive! Replacing the cap after filling the tank was always a frustrating experience; it would often take 5-7 tries to get the lid to screw on correctly. Also, I felt that the cool-mist technology wasn't superior to warm-mist; you can see the mist not dispersing into the air (cold sinks, right?). I took it back and got a Vick's vaporizer...it's much better and simply picked up at Walmart during any regular trip~ | 0negative

Steel stains, scratches easily, & little pieces fall out
I bought this pot some time ago and have had nothing but problems with it. The "stainless" steel has become stained through normal use, and the stains don't come out with scrubbing. In fact, the surface scratches quite easily when I scoop out food with a kitchen utensil and when I clean it with a nylon scrubber. Little pieces of the inside bottom have fallen out leaving holes. Stainless steel should be hard and resist wear better than this. I thought I was buying quality when I bought this pot, but obviously not. It was an expensive item, too. I will not buy another Cuisinart pot. I have contacted Cuisinart about it, but have not gotten a response. | 0negative

The worst vacuum we've had
This is the worst vacuum we have ever used. It is very heavy to push and tips easily when you are using the hose. The belts break easily (we replaced it three times in less than two months). It is also very loud. I would not recommend it to anyone, it was a waste of money. | 0negative

The worst
I hate this cleaner. It is nothing compared to the Hoover floormate. A traditional mop would do a much better job cleaning. I am constantly pressing on the lever to dispense the cleaning solution and even then it's not enough. Misses a lot of places. Worst ever and would never recommend this to anyone. | 0negative

Works perfectly, but is loose on the bowl.
This item only fits certain models, so make sure you order the correct one. It works very well and prevents stuff from flying all over the place when you get to playing with the machine to see how fast it will go. Good product, but it could stand to be a little snugger. | 1positive

All i hoped it would be
Based on the previous reviews of this product and the bra baby, i took the plunge and bought this in hopes that i would find a good way of laudering my bras.So far, i have laundered 4 bras, all in white and all times i have used bleach. I am very pleased with the results, the ball itself has no signs of wear. My only concern is that if someone is buying this product with a larger cup size than a C, I'm not sure how well this would work given that a C seems to be the max. Of note, all the bras i have attempted have the underwire.As to the previous mention of getting it to fit into the washing machine i found, in my top loading machine, that if i following the downward curve of the machine's center, i can easily get it in and out of the washing machine, otherwise some force is necessary.Using the delicate cycle, i have found that the bra dries very quickly after on a hanger (you are not supposed to place the ball into the drier) and the shape retention is awesome.Am please with the purchase and would purchase another in a hearbeat. | 1positive

Calphalon so much better
I used to use Henckel knifes. But I bought a set of Calphalon fine knifes and I was stunned at the impressive quality of the Calphalon set. Sharper, better grips, and better value, the new Calphalon system is a great idea.Walk away from the over priced German line of knifes and go with Calphalon (available on Amazon.com). | 0negative

Euro-Pro 1400W
In a year and a half of moderate to little use, the cord shorted out where it attaches at the long sleeve to the body to the iron. For an expensive iron, this is not acceptable. I would like to reach the company and request a replacement iron. | 0negative

great size bag to preserve silver
I ordered this bag to preserve some silver I have. The only downside is that many of my silver pieces have a lid and perhaps a glass bowl, so to protect from scraches, I really need a bag for the lid and put it all inside the large bag. This size works great for anything, I found some of the smaller bags weren't quite big enough to cover the bulk of the item. My other complaint is that the bags seem thin. But if it keeps my silver from tarnishing I'll be happy! | 1positive

Economical way to use your Senseo
These little plastic pods work great in the Senseo machine. Use the large holder and full cup setting. Make sure to use a fine grind for the best results. They are a little difficult to fill but that is just because of the size. They seem to be of good construction and hold up well to multiple uses and washing. The tops are separate so be careful about them in the dishwasher, they can disappear. Buy several and load them up in advance and keep them in an air tight container. All in all a great product for the price. No more expensive coffee pods for me! | 1positive

Cute & practical
It is a great humidifier for a little girl's bedroom. It is very cute and works great. It is very quiet. I like the turn on-off knob, and a built-in light. Most importantly, my 3-year-old daughter is not afraid to have a humidifier in her room anymore. She loves her Hello Kitty. | 1positive

CHINESE WOK
This wok is amazing! I did much research on line since I wanted a cast iron wok but not one that was too heavy. Little hesitant in purchasing an item made in China since I've really been avoiding these type of purchases. But all of the reviews spoke of the wok's strength, durability, and ease of handling. My wok is now my every day essential! It is seasoned to perfection and has a beautiful color and the performance is great - would highly recommend this wok! | 1positive

Huge Difference
Live in a 2nd floor open space type of apartment apx 50ft in length. The heat buildup inside the apt was at times difficult to handle. I have this fan by an open window and from the 50ft length it is blowing loose papers off my desk. This fan makes a huge difference with keeping the apt heat tolerable. | 1positive

Bad Sheets!!! Itchy and rough after first wash!
I have never once posted a review for anything, ever, and I am a huge online shopper. When you first take these sheets out of the box they fee wonderful. After you wash them they are scratchy and made me feel itchy. True sheets of the quality this brand "advertises" feel great for a long time, this is not the case with this product. I feel that I wasted my money and would never advise someone to buy these sheets, go to Marshalls of TJ Maxx over buying this item. | 0negative

Good for 6 months
I really enjoyed this kettle for about six months and then the paint began to blister. The enamel on this kettle is not thick enough to keep it from peeling off of the stainless steel. I bought it for the color and functionality but now it's an eyesore on my countertop. I love the style but quality? Not up to Kitchenaid standards. | 0negative

Worked for 4 months
This was a great thermometer for 4 months. I make a decent amount of candy. I don't use a candy thermometer daily or even once a week, but I put it to use at least 2 or 3 times a month. This thermometer worked very well for a while. I checked it against the old fashioned way of determining what stage your candy is at and it was always accurate. Thankfully I know how to do this because it just completely quit working one day. I have no idea why. There were no visible signs of damage and it had worked fine the time before. I tried it with the next batch and no go. The thermometer would reach 220 degrees and fail to move any higher. I wouldn't recommend this thermometer. | 0negative

Love the dinnerware, hate the mugs!
The design of the mug handles is such that one cannot drink hot liquids without burning the skin of the fingers that are inside the handle. If I could replace just the mugs, I'd be a happy camper. | 0negative
