Outdoor remote temperature sensor is not weatherproof. Instructions state "The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area." The battery cover has slits in it that will allow water to enter the unit.Hard to see how they call it an outdoor remote. | 0negative

Just got this today, it's bigger than I thought. I got the large and now I can wash and dry my lettuce at ease, no more wasting paper towels to dry them. woo hoo! | 1positive

It works perfectly. It was a little smaller than I had hoped, but the other features make up for that. The temperature control actually does what it says (unlike so many other waffle makers!), and the 2.5 minutes is as fast as you can ask for. It didn't hurt my feelings that you can store it upright to save cupboard space either. | 1positive

We received 12 place settings nearly 10 years ago when we married - and it has held up extremely well. It's heavy, thick, well balanced, and looks simply timeless. Of all the things I placed on our registry, style-wise this still pleases me the most. No pieces have rusted, bent, or otherwise had any problems. I love it! I expect to use it proudly the rest of my life. | 1positive

Every summer I cook out on my outdoor charcoal grill almost daily...until the first sign of a frost, when I bring my cooking indoors and sadly wait for the first wonderful spring day when I can get my grill in full swing again. I had heard about electric grills, but I never though they would be for me. I really dislike the gas I taste when using a gas grill so I always opt for the old fashioned flavor of a good burger on the charcoal barrel grill. I asked for this grill for Christmas, foreseeing another sad winter indoors eating nothing close to the great dinners I cooked in the summer. Well, with many hints and a brick wall text with a link for purchasing it, my wish was granted and I got my grill. I got my little new york strips, marinated them, and turned on my grill. I also got my asparagus out ready to grill/steam it. I put the steaks on the grill and to my surprise, they sounded like they were going on to my outdoor grill...the sizzling sound i love. I put the asparagus on then and covered it. The steak turned out perfect, and did not take as long. there was no smoke, and it was so easy to clean up. The asparagus I had to boil/steam because the grill cannot be used that way. This was no biggy really, as I was so happy with the steaks. They tasted like the ones made on the charcoal grill and no funny taste whatsoever. THANK YOU!! This is the best christmas present ever! | 1positive

I was moving across country. Bought these for saving space.... as advertised. They are horrible! Out of about 40... not even 10 stayed vaccuum sealed for longer than 2 days! I did them over and over and over. They tore VERY easily. After 2 weeks I got moved and the large bags were sooo brittle already that the tops ripped right off instead of pulling open! DO NOT waste your money on this garbage like I did! You've been warned! | 0negative

The Premier Pillowtop is much more comfortable than the Premier classic. I bought a Premier classic, but it was so hard to sleep on, and I had to return it. so I decided to try this Pillowtop instead. I was so happy about the purchase. It is $30 more than the classic, but it is definitely worth the money.It is so comfortable that you feel like sleeping on a regular mattress.It came with a white fitted sheet, which does not show on the picture.If you are looking for something for trips, guests... then this is the one. Highly recommended!!! | 1positive

"Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me three times?"Yes, we bought our THIRD Cuisinart coffee burr mill after the first two failed because it was the only burr mill available at our local Bed Bath and Beyond. That was November 4, and here it is December 29 and it has failed. It simply won't start.There is only one word to describe this product: "Junk" | 0negative

This little appliance has changed my life! I've cooked amazing soups, desserts, and stews so far, and I have many more recipes planned. Living alone, the small size is perfect for me. It's easy to use, and there are plenty of healthy recipes available on the web and elsewhere if you do a little research. After you've made a couple of things, you start to understand the best way to adapt regular recipes, too. One indispensible cookbook is Slow Cooking for Yourself by Catherine Atkinson, which consitsts only of recipes of one or two portions. Everything I've tried from it has been outstanding. Everyone who cooks for her/himself should have one of these little guys. Worth every penny!Slow Cooking for Yourself | 1positive

We just got our roomba 4320.It is just awesome.FYI - Best buy has a $100 instant rebate, so I bought one for 229.I also bought a #30 extended warranty (recommended by other roomba owners)I have used it on carpet, wood floor.The key is to run it twice a week (wood floors), and it can cover a 40 feet by 80 feet approx area. Else depending on the dust you might have to empty it.I have run it on carpet. It picks up hairs (a huge plus). I haven't had to clean the brush so I don't know how much hastle, but I found of alot of hair in the bin.For the Techies: It is not perfect. It most of the times covers the same area over and over.My wife thinks it cute.This was an asked for present. So now I get credit for all the cleaning roomba does, as this was one of my chores.A few more toys like this, and I will be in heaven !!!!! | 1positive

I don't know where these ''problems'' that some are proclaiming from damaged parts to the simplest. Read the instructions first I guess is the best advice? Anyway, this is the best product and I've brought this particular version, the B70. AND cheaper at Khol's. Wait for it.......$149. Plus 20% off coupon they sent thru the mail!! So far, I've had no gripes whatsoever with Keurig brand. The reason I went for this one was because the amount of water this one held. Versus the ones below this B70 held much less and didn't want to keep refilling with each cup of coffee or two. Great buy. Especially the amount of money I've saved let alone for the price!! #WooHoo! :D | 1positive

Was pleasantly surprised when the duvet set arrived. It is a beautiful deep Chestnut color. Just the shade I wanted. Online it looked much lighter. I had been looking everywhere for this color in microsuede. Most are a light beige, or a dark brown. A lot of room for my comforter. Roomy pillowcases. It is backed with a matching polyester fabric in the same lovely shade.Love it. Price was fantastic. Great buy. | 1positive

I have ordered the 2009 INTEX 66717E (66717) COMFORT-REST RISING COMFORT RAISED QUEEN AIR MATTRESS AIRBED BED W/ BUILT-IN AC AIR-PUMP. So far the air mattress is holding up and I have no real problems with it. It's a little smaller than I had expected. I ordered it because my other air mattress was not holding up and was leaking (had it for a while) it has been over 2 weeks now and the 2009 INTEX 66717E (66717) COMFORT-REST RISING COMFORT RAISED QUEEN AIR MATTRESS AIRBED BED W/ BUILT-IN AC AIR-PUMP is still full no leaks. Overall so far so good, I am pleased with the mattress... | 1positive

The sheets felt & looked good until the first time I laundered them. From there I was disappointed. They totally lost their sateen feel & were rougher than my lower thread count sheets. They did not fit my bed as well as my other Queen sheets do. I bought two sets & no longer have either. | 0negative

This product does not work the way that it says it does. It was a complete waste of money. Specifically, the ignitor does not trigger the flame as it is supposed to. I do not recommend this product. | 0negative

Great features: Lid handle and pot handle both cool to touch, no potholder needed; glass lid with holes matching pouring spouts on both sides of pot; Easy maintenance; Heavy bottom. Need more sizes available with all the same features. Only cons are: Pot top not snug to pot-about 1/4" smaller diameter; SS does stain to minor degree at the level of the cooking liquid; but in spite of these, it works fine. | 1positive

This product does not perform as stated! The temperature control does not work and it gives very little heat. I took it back two days after I received it; which meant packaging it and waiting in line to send it back! | 0negative

I am such a nerd...this sorter is a dream come true. It's REALLY well made and hevey duty. It's easy to put together and I did it alone while watching tv with my husband. It rolls well too. I have had laundry sorters and they are always light weight and I feel like I have to be a little gentle with it....but not this bad boy!I actually ordered this and the wrong thing came in the mail. I emailed amazon and they sent me a new one the next day. Then, of course, the other one came in the mail the following day. Amazon was amazing taking care of this issue. I was HIGHLY impressed.If I ever need another one I will re-order this exact item. | 1positive

I purchased the Regent based upon reviews that it would be large enough. It's a little bit small, but easy to fit 3-4 towels on. I also purchased the timer switch lightswitch by honeywell to automatically turn on and off the towel warmer. I hardwired the device myself (i have an electrical/low voltage background) and was able to install pretty easily, running the power off a gfi. The warmer does make the towels pretty warm if you stack correctly, however i'm still attempting to figure out the best way to stack to the towels). | 1positive

I ONLY HAVE THIS ITEM A SHORT TIME. SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL DEVELOP A LEAK AS I SAW IN ANOTHER REVIEW. BUT, MY UNIT WORKS VERY NICELY SO FAR. THE WHOLE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS FRYER IS HOW EASY IT IS TO CLEAN WITHOUT TOUCHING THE OIL IN ANY WAY. THE WHOLE THING COMES APART IN TEN SECONDS, GOES INTO THE DISHWASHER AND COMES OUT LIKE NEW.IT AUTOMATICALLY FILTERS AND DRAINS THE OIL. YOU END UP WITH A TUPPERWARE TYPE CONTAINER WITH PRETTY CLEAN OIL TO USE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE UNIT HOWEVER IS PRETTY SMALL. FOR EXAMPLE IT MAKES ABOUT TWO NICE PORTIONS OF FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME. | 1positive

This filter measures about 1/2" smaller on each side than what is advertised.This in effect causes the filter to NOT create an air-tight seal and can slide around in the housing.DO NOT BUY - not having the true sizes loses effectiveness. | 0negative

I've been using this cutlery for about a month now and I'm very satisfied with the quality of this flatware. The weight of each piece is nice, just heavy enough to feel substantial without being too heavy. I was really worried about getting rust spots on the flatware but I've just come to realize that it's inevitable if you don't rinse off the cutlery well enough if they're coated with acidic foods (like spaghetti sauce) and if you don't wash them right away. That aside, if you have a decent dishwasher, do a good job rinsing the cutlery or doing the load right away, and lastly use a good rinse agent (and not just the bit that comes in the 2-in-1 packs) the flatware should wash just fine and stay in good shape. The great price on this set was definitely also a big plus, especially for everyday use. | 1positive

Purchased five months ago, 08/25/2002. Have a dog with medium length hair and a wife that sews occasionally. Hair and thread wrap around the cheap and poorly engineered plastic bushings designed to protect agitator bearings from wearing and debris. Bushings have dissolved away and agitators no longer spin. You would be wise and buy a better designed brand or be prepared to disassemble and clean bushing and bearings frequently...A useless vacuum to me and only for dust pick-up. | 0negative

I really love this clock! You don't have to adjust the time when there is a time change, the time is always right. I love the projection on the ceiling when I am too lazy to roll over to see what time it is. My last one lasted 9 years before the projection started to lose some of its lighting, I hope this one lasts at least twice as long! | 1positive

After our old toaster oven died, I began looking for an upgrade. I wanted something that I could use more often to avoid firing up the full-sized gas oven. After reading many reviews of the Oster Convection ovens (although not this particular model number), I decided to try it.I'm glad I did! I've been using this instead of my regular oven to cook two-person meals and I'm sure I've saved a lot on my natural gas bills because of it. At first, I was wary of the dial timer and its loud "bing" (which signals that it's done), but I've come to appreciate it more and more. I'm one of those people who always used to forget to set the timer when I put something in the oven. No chance of that with this model! It actually is spacious enough to fit a 9-inch pizza and an 8x8 baking dish, as well as a regular sized bread loaf pan. It does take some time to adjust to the toasting cycle - figuring out that 2 minutes is really light, 4 or 5 minutes is medium, anything beyond that, well, let's just say you'd better get ready to scrape your toast. For a long time.The only downsides so far:It doesn't seem to cook any faster than a regular oven, which is what I thought a convection oven is supposed to do.It seems to take longer than a regular toaster to toast bread or bagels, although I haven't timed it to be sure.When baking something with a crust or topping, the fan that is the signature of the convection oven seems to dry out the top. For example, ours has the fan on the right side (as you look in). So when I bake a quiche or a loaf of bread, the top left part of the quiche or bread kind of dries out. It isn't horrible, but it looks weird.Last, but not least, it does get incredibly hot. This is not an oven that should be used by kids. | 1positive

My husband and I purchased this unit a year ago and have used it lots and lots since then with no real issues. We liked it so much we purchased two for our family members this year! Upon reading some of the other reviews both here and at the Target website, I noticed some things I wanted to address. We haven't had any trouble with the correct temperature for the correct amount of time issue mentioned. Because it is a smaller unit than a conventional oven, if you are constantly opening the oven to check on things the unit will loose a little heat each time. It would be nice to have a light in it though to check on what's cooking. The semi-awkward position of the racks when pulled out halfway because of the rotisserie takes a little getting used to. I just keep that in mind and keep a firm hold on the rack (using an oven mitt) if there is a heavy item on it. Next we know that the oven gets HOT and that even though the handle is not hot, the portion directly attached to the glass will be. The toaster oven is not as insulated as a conventional oven would be. I understand why they have the warning labels on the hair dryers asking you not to bath with them while they are plugged in after reading some of the reviews. I can however understand the issue of appliances not working like they used to. I do agree it's become a quantity over quality world now. Overall we are very pleased and hope that our family members whom have all commented on how great ours looks likes them. We had also done a lot of research before buying it and for the price it's fabulous. Good luck with you search for a toaster oven and hope this helps. | 1positive

This set is a good valu for the money. But if you are looking for a good quality set at a cheap price, this set isn't. The small knives are like using saws. The larger ones are not real sharp nor will they hold an edge. All of them will come out of the dishwasher with rust spots. But what do you get for this price? | 0negative

The clock was simple to set up right out of the box, just follow instructions. Attractive and fun to watch as it keeps perfect time. But a clock should not make as much noise as this one does; a loud ticking on the stroke of 12, 3, 6, and 9 by the sweep second hand. I can even hear it from my bedroom adjacent to the living room where the clock resides. I still recommend it though, the quality seems to be far superior to the majority of inexpensive clocks available today. | 1positive

I read the negative reviews about the handle coming apart, but decided to order the Bissell Sweeper from Amazon anyway. Glad I did. Yes, the handle, as delivered, does keep coming apart, but that can be fixed. A 3 foot, 7/16 inch wooden dowel from the hardware and two small sheetmetal screws solved the problem.It's a nice product for a quick sweep of rugs, but not for wooden floors. | 1positive

This vacuum is the worst appliance I have ever bought. Every time I use it I keep thinking it must have been a design error and still may contact Dirt Devil to see if there is a recall or something on it. I have been surprised as Dirt Devil usually is known for making good products. It does not pick up anything - not on bare floors, hardwood floors, and especially any type of carpet. I end up picking up crumbs and debris off the carpet by hand after I have used it. The hose disconnects often blowing junk all over what you just vacuumed. The tools are ridiculous! The "power" hand tool has no power at all and the rotator stops as soon as you put it down on any surface. Even the cord holder is badly designed and doesn't keep the cord attached to the vacuum. $80 wasted! I just bought an Electrolux Ergorapido stick vac and it works better than this "power" vacuum. Do not buy this vacuum and tell your friends! | 0negative

Me and my wife got one of these for a wedding gift and the first thing we noticed is that it was way too big for anything we wanted to make and would not mix the little amount of stuff we had in the bottom of the mixing bowl. So we traded it in for a smaller model. We found out that even the smallest model has a hard time mixing any regular sized batch of anything (from cookies to bread). If we leave the mixer alone, we come back and there is still unmixed ingrediants in the bottom of the bowl. It is easier to just use a hand mixer. Another problem is that it is almost impossible to add ingrediants to the bowl without buying the [optional] attachment. And last but not least, the dang screws keep coming loose on the machine and they have to be re-tightened every few times we use it. Overall, we are very dissatisfied with the product and would not recommend it to anyone. | 0negative

It is unfortunate that I had to give this item even 1 star. The chest itself is poorly made and although it is easy to assemble it looks cheap when it is put together. Add to that the shipping cost and then very extended period of time it takes to be shipped to you (add 3 weeks onto shipping estimate!) and I really would have to say that this item is not worth it at all. Go to Walmart and you will get something better and not have to pay to get it shipped. | 0negative

I loved the novel, The Giver. It exposed the advanced world of utopia and its problems. Although a utopian world has its benefits such as no poverty, hunger, and racism, it also restricts people from the simple benefits of life, such as being able to see colour, being able to make decisions on your own, and unexpected weather changes. Although a utopian life may be desirable to many, living life w/out these benefits isn't living life at all. Having a predictable and controlled environment is not at all satisfactory. Lois Lowry has shown this to us through the eyes of a 12-year old child, Jonas.Another reason I like this book was because I had never read a story like it before. It is very different from the normal books that I have read because it expands on society. Each time I read it, it makes me think of how corrupt our society and world is. I want to change our government, not to the point where it's communist or utopian, but enough that we won't have to worry about money, hunger, or devastation. We would all have jobs and work to better ourselves. We would be the land of opportunity that we never were.The book was going along smoothly until the very end. I believe the end was very abrupt and incomplete. It would have my final star if the last chapter had some sort of happy, if any, conclusion. | 1positive

We didn't buy this through Amazon, but I need to review it where I can. We have had to replace the power head three times dut to malfunctions, and the third time took about four months and only did we get it after complaining to the BBB!Overall the unit does provide humidity and it is noisy on the high fan settings, but for this level of humididty to cover this volume what would you expect.Problems with the third head now are that it doesn't notify when the tanks are out, so we have to just check it daily, but I'm not going to go through the H*** I just went through to get a new head.The intake filters are a joke as they restrict the air flow so much, a lot goes around the filter as it has no positive seal to the unit (really, it just sits on the side).Now, the stoppers on the tanks wont seal properly so unless I carry the tanks upright I'll dribble water all over the place (deal with Essick - NO!). I'll just have to make sure that if we turn off the unit to pull the tanks.I seriously wish there was a unit that oculd put out this much humidity and not have the issues... | 0negative

This is the best slicer for semi-soft cheeses like havarti, swiss and cheddar. We like thin, even slices to put on our toast in the morning and this works the best. The oversized, soft handle is non-slip and helps get good leverage on harder cheeses like cheddar. | 1positive

the product that I received is very poor in quality. After only having it for a few weeks the comforter began to shed feathers daily all over the bed. It is so bad that u can literally feel the feathers sticking you when you lying down I have pulled out over 30 feathers during these last few weeks and definitely think this is a total waste of my $50. | 0negative

I was given the stand mixer for Christmas last year and I don't know how I ever got along without it. I must use it two or three times a week. It is so easy to use and mixes things just right. I would recommend this machine to anyone. It is a great investment and has sure paid for itself. I am getting ready to add other parts to it. | 1positive

I received this quickly & tried it out immediately. I was impressed at how sturdy it is. Some might find the amount of pressure it takes to push it down (to get the whisk to turn) a little hard; but I look at it as exercise for my shoulder! It works & you can get frothy eggs with only one hand/arm in pretty short order -- Pretty cool! It might be difficult to whip thicker concoctions, but it's great for eggs & omletes, & such. I use it in a 2-cup measuring cup on a non-slip surface so it doesn't skid all over the counter. | 1positive

I have purchased items from Amazon for years and this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review. I did a lot of research and thought this product would solve my problem. It was fine until it stopped working after 1.5 months of use. Soleus Air customer service agreed that I had received a defective product. They would replace it, but only when I returned the defective (heavy) unit at my own cost. I was rather surprised as we all agreed this unit was defective. The person I spoke with sugggested I write an email to "management" requesting my shipping be paid. I did but have had no response and it's been 2 weeks. I have a dehumidifier on its way to me, but they are holding my VISA number until I return the defective one.What a disappointing purchase and experience with a company. | 0negative

As several others have commented about this model, it's extremely poorly made and prone to all kinds of things that will certainly go wrong a week or so after the warranty expires - you can count on it. I've owned two - after repairing the first one (because the entire handle snapped off!) I was sent a replacement. The on/off button stopped functioning after several months - so I can't use the wand any more. The clasp that holds the vacuum upright also broke less than one year in. Not to mention this model is ridiculously heavy (and Hoover doesn't include weight in their specifications list). Indeed, buyer beware. | 0negative

I absolutely love this china set. I wanted to have a beautiful china collection that could be used for many different occasions, something that was elegant and yet timeless. Autumn Legacy fits that beautifully. I have collected a 10 place setting, and am now working on some of the serving dishes. It fits in at every holiday, and will be lovely one day to pass down to my daughter. Everyone compliments the pattern when we use it. Best of all, in keeping with Lenox, they have a tendency to keep their patterns in stock for ages, so if an accident occurs, I am very likely to be able to replace a piece with ease. Love that amazon has great prices for it! | 1positive

I was looking to upgrade some aging pillows of mine so I ordered this pillow on account of the overwhelmingly positive reviews and the reasonable price. I really enjoy the comfort of Down pillows, but unfortunately they aggravate my allergies. I was hoping this pillow would be a good alternative, but instead it was not for me. The pillow has way too much spring for my tastes. It's not hard as others have described. However, if you push it down and let go, it will quickly spring back. It almost feels if the inside material is mixed with air. It feels overly synthetic and makes my neck hurt when I rest on it. I am hoping to find a pillow with a more natural feel, but that is hypoallergenic. The buckwheat pillow seems promising. | 0negative

I purchased three rugs. All are chocolate, and pretty close to the color I was expecting. I bought two long runners for my halls, which are the perfect length, and one area rug for my living room. Initially, I was fairly pleased.I read the reviews before purchasing these rugs, and between the reviews and the price, I wasn't expecting an amazing product. I was anticipating some shedding. It did shed (a LOT). The care instructions also stated that the rug may shed during the first few washes. After seeing how much fuzz was ending up in other parts of my house, I decided to wash them according to the manufacturer's care instructions to help along the shedding process. What I didn't anticipate was the un-even fading during the first wash along with shedding so severe, that I now have bald spots on my two week old rugs. What isn't bald now looks matted, stringy, and ugly. What a waste!! If I'd been smart enough to keep my packing slip, I would send them back right away. Without that, I'm thinking of throwing them in the garbage. | 0negative

This tea infuser started cracking after the first use. It makes me sick that I didn't read the reviews before purchasing because they are totally correct!I didn't mind the larger holes as much, but the thing is incredibly hard to open and so cheap that it cracked on two sides after one use - and this was before I tried to open it without cutting myself.Please save the money and get something else. | 0negative

After a couple of uses it doesn't give accurate temp readings. It's cheap Chinese plastic. A typical disposable electronic device. Also, the "Beef, poultry,..." settings are useless. Instead of these extra settings they should have invested in a better sensor. Don't waste your time or money. | 0negative

I got a set of these a few years ago and use them regularly. They are very sturdy and the thick rounded end allows you to use a lot of pressure without hurting your hands. I have used them with teflon coated cookie sheets and skillets, and the shape allows me to get into corners without any problem. The scrapers have lasted me a few years now without getting any knicks in them and without scratching any of my cookware. I was surprised to see Amazon's suggestion to use one for scraping ice off the car, I do not think I would recommend them for that use. Their size is very handy for pots and pans, but VERY narrow for using on a car windshield, and you don't have the same type of leverage as an ice scraper made for that purpose. | 1positive

There were many complaints on this product buyt I decided to gamble and order it. EXCELLENT DECISION! This arrived in excellent condition with no damage. The inner package that held the screws broke open during transit, which caused me to have to play "Find the screw" in all the packing materials, but this is not fault of the vendor. It seems UPS beat it up pretty well in transit.There is a distinct smell, but that faded in a day or two and is now not noticable.I am quite pleased with the product. | 1positive

I first found these at the Park Hyatt Washington D.C.They still make me smile and feel like I am drinking in luxury with this think wonderful glasses. They are very clear and the right size. They have a flat bottom so if they sweat they stick to a glass table a little, but I just love them. I thought of getting the wine glasses for water/juice but these work better without hitting your nose and are easier to wash. | 1positive

I purchased this coffee grinder (from a local shop) about 2 years ago to replace my first grinder (purchased 25 years earlier). I chose the Cuisinart DBM-8 because it was the same model purchased way back when (when manufactured by another company). However, the Cuisinart machine died this morning, functioning for less than 10% the lifespan of the first grinder. It had never ground coffee according to setting. Whatever the setting, it produced fine grounds mixed with a high degree of dust, which meant the machine frequently clogged. Although it was easy to clean, dust is subpar for french press coffee. Yes, I should have returned it earlier (when it was still under warranty - 18 mos.), but that's water under the bridge now. Anyway, I just wanted to chime in about this machine as I am shopping for its replacement this morning, which may be a Bodum model. | 0negative

I use this pan for everything from making scrambled eggs to stir fry. I love it! Although, Calphalon can be heavy at times, this pan is substanital enough to take a beating but light enough to use everyday. If you are looking for an easy to use, easy to clean all around fry/saute pan, I would strongly suggest this one, I don't think you will be dissapointed. | 1positive

This "blender" does not blend. I attempted to make a simple salad dressing with olive oil, lemon, and raw onions. After 2 minutes of "blending" with this "high watt" mini blender, the diced onions were still intact. This blender is useless. I am going back to purchase the old standby, the now-classic magic bullet. Perhaps there are viable alternatives to the magic bullet, but this "blender" is not one of them. | 0negative

This dispenser is make of cheap plastic. It is so small that the base even can't cover a standard drill hole on the counter top. That leave a big gap behind the dispenser. Beware of water damage to the sink cabinet. | 0negative

I purchased these to help my mother move from a house to an apartment. The pouches protected the dishes beautifully though I did buy foam sheets to supplement the very small ones that were included in this set. If I hadnt bought foam sheets, I would haave used paper plates between the dishes since the included foam pieces didnt cover the plates much. The pouches were also good for storing the dishes at the apartment since she no longer has a china cabinet. | 1positive

I bought this item to grind large quantities of pepper when I cook. This model is used on at least one cooking show and it makes pepper grinding look quick and easy. After opening the box and loading it up with pepper corns, I realized that each turn of the handle doesn't grind much pepper. I then read the instructions and saw..."5 full turns will grind 1/2 teaspoon" This makes this unusable as I would have to twist my hand off for 2 tablespoons. I will continue to use ground pepper from the supermarket till I can find a better solution. | 0negative

Its interesting that many found this product effective at keeping the beverage hot while others did not. In my case it was the later, the coffee was at best luke warm. This was after first heating the mug with hot water, putting in the coffee and then placing the mug in Microwave on high for 20 seconds. The coffee was then nice and hot as I like it. Unfortunately the warmer as the name implies let the product get luke warm and the temp was reduced considerably over a short period of time on the unit. It was certainly warmer than just placing the mug on the table with no unit. But the warmer at the very least should have kept the coffee warmer than it did. I have a theory this may be due to the mug. In my case, the bottom was not flat but had a small round lip that was in contact with the base. I have a few mugs with preferably flat bottoms but they are not ideal for use as they are a tad too tall to fit under my coffee maker. I wonder if more of the base of the mug and perhaps how it is made would account for those that report very hot results versus those that have experienced poor heating as I did. The mug I used was ceramic. But with a 1-2cm ridge in contact with the warmer, I suspect there isn't enough surface area in contact with the heating unit. In the end, I returned the product (Amazon made this super easy).Update. I returned the product for the NorPro because on other sites, it got good reviews (not so great here, but only 1): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TJK3CG/ref=oss_productIt is a more effective warmer IMHO using the same conditions described above. Now it doesn't keep the coffee HOT either but much warmer for a longer period than the unit I reviewed here. The switch is much nicer but the cord is not as long. | 0negative

I'm done with non-stick. The coating on this pan has started peeling off, just as it did with Kaiser's and Chicago Metallic's non-stick. I'm going back to tinned steel. (My experience with cake pans, including springforms, has been the same.) | 0negative

Tengo varios artefactos de esta marca, por eso decidimos comprar esta espresso machine, mi sorpresa es que cuando calienta el boton o perilla central se endurece, parece que fuera a salirse. Le he escrito a la marca y no me ha respondido. Por eso debo calificarla con 2 estrellas. | 0negative

Just bought these a week or two ago and have already used 3 of the 4 pieces. I love them. No sticking whatsoever. And when they came out of the dishwasher they looked fine. Best of all -- good, solid construction. Definitely recommended. | 1positive

I recieved this convection oven for Christmas and am very dissapointed with the lack of user interface. You cannot set the temperature yourself. You can only use the preset settings on the touch panel. Also, the way the removable door was designed is quite faulty. The weight of the basket attached to the door pushes the bottom of it out so you can't get a good seal. It let's the heat escape. Not happy at all. Thank goodness my mom kept the reciept. I'm getting a different brand. | 0negative

Jonas lives in a community where everything is perfect. There's no crime, poverty, illness, or unemployment, and every family is perfectly balanced and happy. Then, at his Ceremony of the Twelve, Jonas is chosen to be Receiver of the Memories. As he receives memories from the Giver, he realizes that there are other things his world doesn't have: color, pleasure, warmth, weather. Now that Jonas has learned about real life, he wants to do something about it, to save his community. With some help from the Giver, he will show everyone what they are missing. It makes you realize that there is a trade-off for everything, and even good comes with bad. | 1positive

These mirrors are beautiful. I purchased a pair and they are exactly what I wanted. Just as they look online is what they are. they are small but the beauty is in the frame which is the perfect effect I wanted. The price was great too. | 1positive

I wasn't overly impressed with this when I received the clock from Amazon. It's very small and I've gotten used to a clock with numbers that are quite tall -- I'm nearsighted and am not interested in putting my glasses on in the middle of the night just to see what time it is.However, at this point (after two days,) I have no complaints. I set it on the headboard of my bed and measured (carefully!) the size of the numbers on the ceiling -- they're about 5 inches high and quite readable when I'm lying in bed. I live in a state where there is no daylight savings time, but it's easy to switch the zones to one which matches my state when time change occurs. But then I wondered about someone in Alaska or Hawaii -- turns out, not only can you turn off the automatic fetching of the time so you can set it manually, you can also turn off the daylight savings feature.You need fairly decent eyesight (with or without glasses, as needed) to read the manual and set the clock up the way you want -- since it is so small, the readout itself is rather small. If you're willing to go through it carefully, however, I do believe that most people will find this clock very useful.The closer you put the clock to the area you're projecting onto, the smaller the numbers -- and the farther away, the larger the numbers. You can turn the projection feature completely off, but you'll have to press the snooze bar to get it to light up if you want to read it at night. You also must have it plugged in to a working electrical outlet if you want the projection; batteries only will keep the clock going but not the projection.It does come with both the electric cord needed and two AA batteries (you'll need to pull the plastic packaging out of the bottom of the clock to get the batteries to make a connection.) It's also packaged in a fair amount of plastic though it is pretty thin plastic so any reasonably useful pair of scissors should be fine to get it open.About the only "problem" I have with this is the orientation of the projected time on the ceiling -- since I want to see it from the bed and the head of the bed is on the opposite side of the door, the numbers are upside down when I walk into the room. I also cannot see the numbers on the display unless I get to within a few inches of the clock; not really a major problem but disconcerting after years of being able to see (and read) a clock's display no matter where I was in the room. I may end up turning the clock I had back on in there just to have something to easily read during the day when I go in that room.All in all, however, I am quite pleased with this purchase. It allows me to check the time without having to wake up enough to twist and turn to see the clock. And since it's so small, I just moved it around until it was projecting where I would most likely be able to see it as soon as I opened my eyes. It's not heavy at all, and the small size means it doesn't need a big area to be set on in order to project where you want it. | 1positive

perfect grip and handle...nonslip, very comfortable to hold no matter what you are peeling.superior quality...neck will not bend from excessive force like the less expensive all metal peelers,we've all seen/used them at least once.nicely designed swiveling surgically sharp blades that peels very thinly...love it.blades also don't bent or distort from excessive forcepeels effortlessly when compared to standard all metal peelers.scoop/notch at top to remove any dark spots inside potatoes, etc.don't bother with cheap peelers costing 3-5 dollars. you will only throw them away like I did.buy it once but buy it right...OXO GOOD GRIP SWIVEL PEELER... I love this peeler and highly recommend it! | 1positive

This product really does a great job keeping my modest gunsafe down around 40 - 50% humidity at all times. And i always know when it's time to dry them back out when they turn pink. To dry them out it's as easy as putting the whole thing in the oven, cranking it up to 325f, and setting my watch for 4 hours - no melting, no mess. I then let it cool a little & toss it back in the safe. Easy!!! | 1positive

I purchased this bed. It was of very poor quality. The wood was not nearly as attractive as shown in the photo. There were gauges & ugly knot holes. I assembled the bed as instructed. It immediately fell to pieces. The screws holding the bed together stripped out of the wood at all 4 corners of the bed. I assume I will get my money back. But this was a very frustrating experience. | 0negative

I've waited for a long time for this 'joke' to arrive. To set Time and Alarm you have two buttons: up or down. Say you want to change the alarm time from 7:00 to 8:00, you have to push the up buttons 60 times. I thought 'Nightfinder' is a good worth while feature to have, not so. It keeps on flashing this blueish light in the dark. It tickles me when I recall the first time my dog 'saw' this flashing light in the dark, she 'cried' with a scary noise, got up and left the room. It would be nice to have a constant light instead of a flashing one. The only good thing is it's small and lightweight for travelling. I still have difficulty to open the cover: it's not Sr. citizen friendly. This is my first encounter to use Oregon Scientific, I wonder it will be the last one too. | 0negative

After past experiences with Mr. Coffee products, I told myself I would never purchase another. I should have "stuck to my guns". After using this coffeemaker for just over one month, it now leaks from the bottom each time it's used...sitting in a pool of water. Checking out Mr Coffee's FAQ...it seems that my only option is "send it in for service". After only one month of use??? BEWARE!!! | 0negative

Hi,I read the reviews on this item and decided to buy it. I received the first carousel with a broken ring so I called Amazon customer service and they promptly shipped me a replacement. I received the replacement today and guess what? This one also has a broken ring.My advise is to avoid this product as I doubt, that, even if your were able to actually receive the item in one piece, it would hold up as the spot welds that secure the rings is shoddy workmanship at best. I'm very disappointed. | 0negative
