This is a well-designed cork screw. The quality of the construction is as good as the much more expensive Leverpull. The ease of operation in extracting and expelling the corks is amazing. I have tried this cork screw on even tough to open synthetic corks. But the Metrokane Houdini tackles them with ease. Highly recommended, especially at the current Amazon price. | 1positive

I bought this hand held vacuum cleaner for my husband for Christmas. He wanted a vacuum with good suction and power to clean up kitty litter. We had previously used a cordless hand held cleaner, but after about 5 minutes, it just conked out. So, we thought since this vacuum is electric it would get it up and keep going. Unfortunately, even though this Eureka is electric, it does not cut it and just doesn't have the desired power and suction. It is okay for real quick and easy jobs. But it is not as powerful as we had hoped. | 0negative

Makes a good hot cup of coffee. However the coffee and the water are added in the same place, and there is no barrier between the two areas. It is very easy to spill coffee grounds into the water resevoir, and coffee grounds easily stick to the water sprayer. It is difficult to clean the machine. | 0negative

I was not sure when I ordered this the quality that would arrive. This is impressive for what it is and I ended up ordering another once I saw the quality. It is high quality and solid. Also Made in the USA! | 1positive

I bought the Shark Cordless Sweeper after watching an info-mercial. It worked great...then it just died. No matter how much I charge it, it just doesn't work. Thankfully I was talked into buying an extra battery pack when I called in to order.. I guess that should have told me something. Let's see how long this one lasts. | 0negative

For the price of this little fountain you are NOT going to get it in copper (Cu). Of course it is going to be copper colored plastic but the plastic is fine. The pump makes little noise and there is very little splashing that goes outside the fountain. I would still recommend it be placed on a surface such as a plastic mat or large plate that is not damaged by water droplets or leaks from overfilling. The biggest drawback for which I gave it only four stars instead of five is the placement of the pump speed switch. It is nice to be able to adjust the flow but you have to turn it off and pull the entire assembly off of the tank/base in order to get to the switch. It probably would have added to the cost to put it in the same place as the on/off switch on the electrical cord but I think it would have been worth it. The rocks that came with it are not very attractive as should be expected for this price. I replaced them with some of those rounded glass 'gems' or nuggets that you can get in a huge variety of colors at most art and hobby stores. The main drawback of such a replacement is that they have a tendancy to end up in the bottom unless you decrease the water flow to the minimum or glue them on the leaves. I'm also using distilled and deionized water to prevent mineral buildup. This is an added expense since about 300 mls or 1 cup per day is lost to evaporation in my winter dry climate. I have to top it off every day to keep the level high enough for the pump to perform its best. The fountain looks better than the picture. Overall I am happy with it. | 1positive

This pan warps at temperatures above 450 degrees and the anondized finish has begun to peel off after less than ten uses.If this roaster was priced at $25 it would be a good buy. It is way overpriced at $59.95.Spend an extra $50 and get the Calphalon stainless steel Tri-ply-roaster----it is the real deal.Dale GarnerAtlanta, Ga | 0negative

...but it worked great first try on some carrots. Yes, it did put an orange ring in the plastic, but oh well. I'm not sure how to clean the water resevoir tho, since you can't open it and pour it out. I'm writing to Zojirushi and we'll see if they have suggestions.Definitely worth what we paid for it tho - a good bargain! | 1positive

I have two other pots of this same brand which I LOVE LOVE LOVE! This one was a huge let down. The pot is not even on bottom and spins on the stove rather than sitting flat. It also does not have the same weight as my other two pots which are both smaller. The handles are not stainless steel and I'm not surprised the previous reviewer had rust after a short time. What a let down. | 0negative

I bought a similar machine to this one a couple of years ago and have used it three times total and just threw it in the trash. The first use seemed to go just fine. It picked up loads of dirt and debris from the carpets throughout the 1800 ft^2 of my home. It then sat in a closet for about a year before I pulled it out again. When I went to run it, next to no fluid would come out of the main nozzles on the base. I next tried to use the hand unit and found it working perfectly. Plenty of fluid and suction. So I tore it all apart to find that the lines connecting to the main nozzles were completely gunked up with what looked like lime (I guess my water is quite hard and this is a problem). After purging the lines, cleaning out the nozzles, etc, I put it all back together and got it to work. Not as well as it did fresh out of the box mind you. I just pulled it out the closet today to use one last time before selling it (we are moving) to find the same problem...No spray from the main nozzles. Remembering what happened last time, I proceeded out to my garage to tear it apart to find the clog. To my surprise, there was no lime deposits but was instead completely clogged with mold and fungus. The lines were teeming with black algae-like residue. I tore the lines apart, purged them, put it all back together again but this time had no luck. No spray at all. I've finally had it with this product and decided to toss it in the trash and call a professional. I would recommend this approach to anyone considering buying this. I know the price of a professional can be steep but compared to the irritation of tearing apart a machine to make it work properly, it is quite fair. | 0negative

The Hot Buttered Popcorn sign looks great! It measures about 16 and 1/2 inches by almost 12 inches. It looks just like the picture shown and despite what I read on another review being flimsy, the metal is the typical tin sign that most all the others are and actually looks sturdier since the metal bends back on the ends and that makes it stronger. I love how the sign looks. | 1positive

when using vertical steam against hanging clothing, the steam will push out underneath and blow towards your hand underneath the handle. Its HOT!You also have to press the button every time you want steam. It takes for ever to steam a regular hanging cotton dress shirt.water reservoir is very small, only the size of handle.would not recommend. I need a iron that will steam continuously an hanging article, without a board. gluck | 0negative

After a couple years of light use the motor bearing seized on the commutator side. Eventually the entire bearing completely failed and sent parts of the bearing throughout the motor, causing the armature damage. Poor quality bearing hardware led to this problem. After reading the other reviews, this seems to be a common failure for the Eureka vacuums. Stay away from them and buy a better brand. | 0negative

Its pretty fast and strong wind compared to another box fan i have. I am very pleased with the product and the time it took to recieve it was outstanding. It also runs very quiet. Keep up the great work. | 1positive

We bought this vacuum because we were looking for a cheap vacuum to get us started in our apartment. Cheap it is! The first thing we noticed was that it was so loud that we literally need to wear earplugs while vacuuming, and not just the person doing the work. The second thing we noticed was that the filter plugged up quickly and lost all suction.If you want a cheap vacuum that you'll be looking to replace as soon as you can, then this is your vacuum; but if you want a good one, keep looking. | 0negative

As a prep cook in a regional restaurant chain I peel & prepare 15-25 pounds of potatoes and anywhere from from 5-25 pounds of carrots every day, 5 days a week. At that rate of use I typically have to purchase a new OXO peeler every 12-15 months. By my estimates this means, if used properly, this product can practically last a lifetime of home use. This is the only piece of equipment I purchase for work with my own money, and I guard it from my fellow cooks like it's made of gold. I highly recommend this product to anyone, however I would make several notes:1) The blade comes from the factory EXTREMELY sharp, and will not hesitate to cause vicious injury if used improperly. Peeling cuts are quite painful and extremely difficult to stop from bleeding, so take caution.--2) Swivel-blade peelers are by far the most effective and easy-to-use peelers when used properly, anyone who says otherwise is simply inexperienced or lacking in proper technique. Perhaps a youtube video can help give you some pointers?--3) OXO also makesOXO Good Grips Pro Y-Peeler, which orients the blade perpendicular to the handle rather than parallel (like this one). I find Y-peelers to be rather wasteful in the amount of product they remove, but if you're peeling primarily potatoes or other large items the larger contact area can definitely save time.--4) I was surprised to see many reviewers state that the handle becomes a sticky mess over time when run through the dishwasher. A) The handle is rubber and therefore high heat will always deteriorate it, and B) no peeler should ever be run through the dishwasher! To clean a peeler it should be soaked in warm, soapy water for at least 5 minutes (soaking is only vital if peeling carrots, as the beta-carotene can buildup over time and encourage bacteria growth) before being scrubbed gently using a non-abrasive towel or sponge.--5) Note that when I say I replace my peeler used at work every 12-15 months, it is still more than capable of serving most people's needs at that time, however I prefer having a VERY sharp peeler for the heavy workload. My home OXO peeler has lasted at least 7 years.--6) I have rather small hands and this product's handle is a bit large (the same handle used on many OXO products) but by no means unwieldy. Seeing as I typically spend an hour or more a day with this tool in my hand I suspect that those who complain about this handle are, again, lacking proper technique.--7) As of this review, Amazon's price for this product is $8, which is outrageous. I typically purchase mine at Wal-Mart for ~$5, but I'm sure MOST local groceries will carry this product for less than $8 + shipping.--8) Amazon seems to provide each type of peeler from the OXO lineup (swivel-y, fixed-y, julienne, and serrated) except for the vertical fixed blade peeler. | 1positive

I used to scoff at people who bought fancy wine glasses. OK, I admit it. There was even a time when I didn't mind drinking wine in a plastic glass. Riedel glasses have changed my mind forever, and I've joined the ranks of people who buy fancy glasses.The Vinum Bordeaux glasses make those lovely reds taste and smell even better. I just can't say enough good things about these glasses. | 1positive

This is a complete waste of money. It is cheap and you get what you pay for. The hangers are worthless since most refrigerators have shelves so you cannot hang the thermometer anywhere. I used tape. However, it is almost impossible to see and read the temperatures. Spend a few more dollars on the higher end thermometers. I suggest the dial ones since they are easy to read no matter where you place them. | 0negative

I recently received the OCR cake plate and server what a piece of junk this is not the old Old Country Rose. The glaze was pitted and uneven this piece can't the propertly cleaned due to pits. When I stated I wanted to return the piece I was told I had to pay return postage. So buyers BEWARE of the NEW old country rose it is not the same. Ask yourself way so many people have new for sale. I would give it a -5 rating but this system won't allow that! | 0negative

If you were thinking of storing 4 ounces of spices, or tea, or anything solid in these tins, you will find them way too small.it turns out that the tins will store 4 ounces of water, but less than 2 ounces of any spice, or tea, etc.I ended up sending them back. | 0negative

This is very nice, good quality. It is nice material within the frames, rattan-like but finer, and you can see through it so if you want to use it to block anything you might want to pick another one. I actually tacked two sheer curtains I had on the back of it and it looks great and blocks the view through it, so you could do that too. I am happy with it. | 1positive

Pros - Comforter is warm and you get a good night sleepCons - You may get a good nite sleep, but when you wake up, you will find feathers allover the bed.The feathers keep coming out from comforter cover.

This product is poorly designed. First it tips over very easily. Second, you constantly run the vacuum over the cord. Third, it has a very small capacity for dirt. Fourth, you have to use your hands to reach in and take out the dog hair and carpet dirt. So what is save with the HEPA filter is lost when you empty it. Not good for alergies. So it is overrated and over priced. | 0negative

This is my second steamer in less than a month and both times it has stopped working. My guess is inside the flexible hose it is breaking when the hose gets "lightly" coiled around itself when I clean. Both times when this happened the machine shuts off and stops producing steam. When I called the customer support, they only offered to have me ship it back on my own expense..... and maybe they can fix it. The other suggestion was to return in back to Lowe's where I bought it from, go figure!! I would not waste your money on this model!!! | 0negative

I researched thorougly before buying this coffee maker and am totally satisfyed both with its quality of construction and most of all the taste of the coffee it brews. You will not be dissatisfyed if u buy this model and make of coffee maker. Of course Amazon was great to order from as usual.

This review is more about recent poor packaging at Amazon rather than the product. While previous deliveries of Fiestaware 4-piece place settings (specifically Plum, Turquoise, and Sunflower colors) have arrived un-damaged, this wasn't the case for the Cobalt delivery. Not only did the original Cobalt order arrive broken, but the replacement place-setting was also broken. Amazon used over-sized boxes in both cases with little to no packing peanuts or air packaging. This is the first time I've had to request a refund from Amazon. Very disappointing. | 0negative

I agree with everyone here, I need deep pocket sheets, these claim to fit up to a 14 or 15 inch mattress, mine are 15 deep, and, these don't even come close to fitting. Even after I used corner sheet straps, the sides were half way up the mattress. Very good quality sheets, but, they just don't fit deep pockets. I am giving mine away. | 0negative

We purchased a few of these fans about 2 years ago for our townhouse. We don't have central A/C, but needed something for the 1-2 months of heat that we get here in SoCal.Pros: It does actually blow air with a lot of force, and circulates the air around the room.Cons: It tips over way too easily - I have a 2 year old + cats and don't feel safe using it around them, even on hardwood flooring. The front of the casing of the fan broke on two of the three fans we have - there was no way to repair them so I had to throw them out. This fan is not "whisper quiet" as advertised. It's only quiet on the low speed. It takes up a lot of space and has a large "footprint".Overall, I was really disappointed, especially given the price. I would not recomment this fan. I plan on trying the Lasko 40 inch tower fan - it's much cheaper, more stable, and has received good reviews.I would not purchase this fan if you have kids or pets, due to the instablity of the stand. It seems really dangerous to me. | 0negative

The whole reason I bought this clock so it would switch to and from DST automatically. It doesn't. Or at least it takes several days for it to pick up the change. This wouldn't be so bad, unless you are one of the rare individuals who works on Monday or Tuesdays.The display is either way too bright or impossible to read. | 0negative

I wish that the above review had been available when I bought this vacuum! I too have the problem with the hepa filter getting dirt into it. This happened the very first time I used the vacuum. Also a big reason I went with this model is the dirt finder feature. Which doesn't work. It does work on the Eureka models but they don't have one available to purchase with this feature right now. I am currently in talks with Hoover. They sent me a reply on 10-19 saying they were looking into it. Today is the 27th and still no word. (By the way, they give you no phone number to call. You have to email.) I can't believe I am out 350+ bucks. My vacuum is not losing suction but it STINKS to high heaven. The bucket to empty it is very awkard. No handle and you have to wash the pre filter thing everytime you use it and then you have to let it dry. I hate this vacuum. | 0negative

Doesn't keep food hot. Even after preheating this with hot water and filling right before I leave the house (about 7:15AM) the contents are still only lukewarm at lunch time (11:30 or 12:00). Also, you have to be careful not to tip the container while travelling. We ordered 4 of these and all 4 of them leak. All are being returned. | 0negative

Product which was probably already returned to the company was shipped without hardware. One error after another. The customer rep, Rita Moss, was rude and obnoxious to me, actually yelled at me.

I purchased this item so that I can "grill" on my terrace to replace a gas grill that, as a tenant, I am no longer able to use. This item is the closest grill to actual barbecue. The meats and grilled veggies came out terrific and the clean-up wasn't too tedious. The unit is fairly large, but is very light weight (surprise), and can be stored easily. The cooking surface is ample(does six burgers and a couple of hot dogs at once). I'm so happy we haven't had to give up out summer meals outside! | 1positive

Worked fine for awhile but recently broke down after about 8 months of daily use. Warranty repair cost about $50 for shipping charges so it's either buy a new one or get this one fixed. Will buy a different brand this time. Not really that impressed with performance. | 0negative

I cannot believe all the positive reviews this coffeemaker gets. I've had it for 5 months now & I hate it. It was a gift from my mom so I feel obligated to use the blasted thing.It is impossible to pour either into the maker or into my mug without massive spillage. Hate this stupid thing. Cuisart should be ashamed to make such a lousy coffee pot. | 0negative

This knife is excellent for slicing fruits and vegetables, and does quite nicely on meat, too. The blade grooves really work to keep stuff from sticking, the edge is holding up very well, and the grip doesn't slip. We have found it to be a much better kitchen tool than a traditional chef's knife. Oh, yes, ordering and delivery were smooth and timely. Good job!! | 1positive

This has got to be one of those gadgets that you swear you can't live without. A real value because of the ease of use, cleanup and incredible results of the cheese.

I bought this vaccume in October 2011 and was very impressed with it. I have mosty hardwoods, but used the vaccume once a month or so to clean the stairs and the small area rugs in the house. After roughly 11 uses, the vaccume has turned into a noisey paperweight, there is no more suction and the brushes have stopped rotating. After cleaning the unit and having nothing improve, I tossed it and will not be buying a replacement. Even at this price is should last more than 11 uses. | 0negative

Bought this vac at Christmas 2006, used it through March 07, and liked the way it sucked up dirt. The bagless design could be better but I don't have any real issues with that. However, machine quit working right in the middle of vacuuming one day; it just died. Would not power on at all. Took it to the actual Hoover retailer, not a dealer. Its been there ever since. June is tomorrow.That's 7 weeks with no vac. No explanation other than "cant get the part" - circuit board apparently suffered a failure. It's extremely disappointing. Especially for the price, and from a company that has made vacs for 100 years!After 30 years + with my last vac(which still works by the way) and making the plunge to a "modern" HEPA filtered-bagless unit, having this experience with Hoover has left me quite depressed. Will not buy another Hoover product ever. Please save your money and get something better. | 0negative

I have a small 700 square foot apartment with shag carpet and linoleum in the bathroom and kitchen. I was torn between this and a Dyson, but ultimately the $[...] price difference decided me.Pros:* Very light for a full sized vac.* Easy to push over carpet.* Quick and easy to assemble.* The dirt collection cup opens from the bottom. Just lower it over a trash can, press the button, give a few shakes, and everything falls out with no muss or fuss. A few wipes with a rag is all it takes to clean.* The attachments stay firmly in place.* The cord rewind really works. I always hated winding the cord on my old vacuum, and I never could seem to get it so the plug would clip onto the cord once it was wound.* Quiet for a full sized vacuum. Won't disturb the neighbors much, but it still freaked out my cat.* Really sucks! Does a great job of pulling up the pet hair. My first run through the living room I think I got enough hair to make a whole new cat.Cons:* The hose is a bit short, and it doesn't come with any extenders, just the pet hair remover, brush, and crevice tool.* The pet hair removal tool takes a few passes to get all the hair off furniture.* Make sure you pick up loose cords from other things because it will suck them up.* It doesn't put itself away when you're done?So far I haven't had any problems, but I'm not worried about reliability issues, since I bought mine from Costco. I paid less than the price on Amazon, and if it ever has problems, Costco will exchange or replace it for free. | 1positive

I bought this as a birthday gift to myself and I love it. I thought I would miss being able to preset my coffee timer at night to wake up to coffee, but this makes it so quickly that has not been a factor. The taste is unbeatable! Even if you leave the warmer on the entire morning the coffee never tastes bitter. Highly Recommended for coffee lovers!! | 1positive

We have used this model Melitta Mill & Brew coffeemaker daily for the past 7 years. Just recently the ON-OFF switch was starting to not function correctly, so we decided to buy (because of the great price and dependability of this grind & brew coffeemaker) the EXACT same one. We especially enjoy waking up to the smell of a fresh brewed pot of coffee every morning. | 1positive

awesomeeeeee knife i bought this just to make my last order $25 so i can get free shipping and also needed a good knife for the house. i had the order shipped to my restaurant, when i got the package i decided to open it and just give it a try and see how bad it sucks ( since its only $10) lets just say the knife stayed at the restaurant and never made it home. last thing i gotta say ... i have more expensive knives that i use and this one here is def better than alot of more expensive knives . super impressive | 1positive

so the price on this? fantastic. I ordered two for my father for christmas for his basement. product is just as described, really a deal for what it is. just like other reviewers mention though, these really have a strong, almost gasoline-ish kinda smell when you first open them. I took them out of the boxes for a solid week before rewrapping. Don't know if the smell has left yet..next time I go to my dad's I might Febreeze them. Elsewise a great product. | 1positive

I've purchased sateen sheets of 400+ thread count before and all were softer than the set I just purchased. These were rougher than even my cheap percale 200 thread count sheets. I purchased them in hopes of providing soft, luxury sheets for house guests and instead, I was embarrassed to use them, opting for my older but softer sheets. The stars are for the dark platinum color and herringbone, which is pretty.But wow, everything from the fitted sheet to the pillow cases is rough like sandpaper. | 0negative

Bought three black and yellow Squosh balls as I work back into juggling.Good balance and weight for juggling balls. I had purchased three more of the same brand and type several years ago and a few things were noticeable - from the older trio.One of the three was distinctly different in feel, texture & sheen. Not quite a completely different material, but you would definitely believe they would not be matched set. That one also has taken much longer to break in, and the seams all bunched up at one corner which is noticeable in your hand. Given that my prior three that I purchased were all identical, I tend to think that the one different ball is just an offshoot.Overall they can take quite a beating, and I would recommend them to anyone for general juggling use. Definitely if you're starting off - you can't get much better for quality & price. | 1positive

Just like it's bigger brother, this bowl is just top notch. The plastic is light and comfortable for hand mixing and the base keeps the bowl from slipping during heavy mixing or using an electric hand mixer. It's sturdy and holds up to my heavy-handed battering and the dishwasher. The horizontal handle allows it to be stacked and the pour spout makes it easy to empty the batter. These things are the best bowls I've ever used except a professional stainless one many years ago. I'm sure that would cost 5x as much if you can even find them outside of a restaurant supply store. Don't hesitate to upgrade your old junky bowls! | 1positive

After reading all the reviews I was a little skeptical about purchasing one of these but I really wanted to try this technology after no success with Honeywell products. (The fans continually fail within a few months of purchase.) The information that comes with it is very good but the product continually cycles on and off no matter what setting you have it on or what you try to do to help it. According to the booklet that comes with it, it is supposed to stay on continullay on the high setting. An air purifier is useless unless it is on so this works only half the time that you intend to use it. Would guess you have to buy the double pack version to have one of them going all the time. Really disappointed about this as you shouldn't have to have two running to take care of a small room.Ionic Pro 90IP1RCMB1 Compact Air Purifier with Bonus Car Ionizer | 0negative

This mixer was ordered Saturday Nite shipped Sunday Evening and Arrived 1200 miles away on Wednesday. Looks exactly like new, works like new, was a Christmas Present and Presentee was delighted. Only way you would know it wasn't new would be the reconditioned label on the shipping box. This mixer costs less than half price of the ones in the Department Stores like Fred Meyer. The only thing it lacks is the plastic shield which can be purchased from Kitchen Aid for $25. I would definately buy this item again, and would have no fear purchasing a reconditioned item. | 1positive

The kitchenaid mixer works great for day to day use. It is light weight and not a loud mixer. If you are planning to use it frequently, I suggest opting for the 9 speed. | 1positive

We were so disappointed with this! This machine has to be pre-heated for 15 minutes. Even though the resevoir holds several cups of water, you have to stand there and manually turn it off when you get your cup. I just don't have that kind of time in the morning. I also usually brew into a small carafe, but there's no room for one on this machine. I can't take those little cups with me.... Way too difficult and too much trouble. | 0negative

Love this pan and the 12" size I purchased at the same time. Hadn't looked at in stores, so I didn't totally know what to expect, but they are very nice... Not too heavy and very easy to clean! | 1positive

I ordered this ice cream maker for my daughter's 9th birthday, along with the Ben & Jerry's ice cream recipe book. I wasn't sure if it was a dumb gift for such a young girl, but she was thrilled.She's very creative so I let her decide the first two flavors that we should try. Her picks? #1 Banana Goodbar (her favorite candybar is Mr. Goodbar, so we got creative and put crushed candybar, mashed banana, and a touch of lemon juice in the standard vanilla recipe) and #2 Choke Cherry Watermelon (LOL) which turned out surprisingly good (she decided to pick choke cherries this afternoon so we added them (pitted), a bit of sugar, and small watermelon chunks to Ben & Jerry's #1 Sweet Cream Base). I seriously had my doubts about these, but it was her choice. Both turned out really good and were very easy to make.The machine worked perfectly and was very easy to use. I especially liked that she was able to help with all the steps. It was easy to clean and the bowls are already back in the freezer for next time. It seems that we will only be limited by our own creativity. Should be lots of fun!My one real problem? I have a belly ache from eating too much. | 1positive

Size and shape are very comfortable for when my neck is bothering me. The cover is not my favorite design as I prefer a solid color. | 1positive

I received these Pyrex dishes as a wedding shower gift a few years ago, and I must say that I use them more than any other dishes I own!Having both the 2 & 3 quart is wonderful, as I always have the "right" size for whatever I'm cooking. They also save me some time because I am able to use them to cook in, then leave the leftovers in the dish and put in the refridgerator, then on "leftover night" I can just pop the dish back in the oven or throw it in the microwave - it really is a time saver.Overall, I would highly recommend having these dishes in every kitchen, as they can be used for almost any type of cooking. | 1positive

I love this kettle. I looked long and hard for one that would be just right and I'm glad I purchased this one. The melodic harmonica sound is very refreshing, especially in comparison to the high pitched whistle of other kettles. It's also pretty sturdy & I'm predicting it will last me a very long time. Highly recommended! | 1positive

I received my candle on the estimated date which was a little slow. The packaging was good though.I purchased this for emergencies after reading other reviews and love the fact that it lasts around 100hrs. I haven't tested mine out mainly because I am waiting for the next power outage or an emergency. I do plan to purchase more of these while the price is still reasonable.I rated this as four stars because I haven't tested it out to know if this deserves five stars but I am happy to have this product. | 1positive

Not only do these wine glasses vastly improve the aroma and taste of Burgundy (my favorite) and Pinot Noir, they make all red wines smell and taste better, including Bordeaux and Cabs and most Italian and Spanish wines I've used them for. My average-priced everyday Cab is much improved in these wine glasses--it tastes like a much more expensive wine. | 1positive

I do not own this product, but I refuse to buy it because it emits ozone from the ionizer, which can potentially be dangerous for your health overtime.Buy an air purifier that doesn't emit ozone. If you want a Honeywell, there are other purifiers under this brand-name that don't emit ozone.But, be sure to do the research yourself, don't trust these corporations.info: epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html | 0negative

My oldest daughter (11) loves this, and it is just the right size. We were afraid it would be too small, but it is actually pretty big (large enough a grown up can sit in it). | 1positive

1. It is easy and efficient to use2. It does not take up a lot of counter space for the amount of cooking it does.3. The buttons are convenient. The timer lights when I start cooking, toasting, or broiling.4. The warmer oven (or can be another cooking surface) on the top is convenient and easily accessible.5. It makes wonderful toast in less than 5 minutes, toasted to perfection on both sides.6. A small sized casserole can be baked (which is just right for one or two people) without starting up the large oven. It also shuts off when the time has elapsed that I set. Not many toaster ovens have the almost silent convection feature but this one works well.7. I researched at least eight other toaster ovens before I made this choice. I am very satisfied with it. | 1positive

A number of reviews are negative about the large size of the glove. For me, this is actually its best feature. I'm 6' tall with average-size hands, and this is the only glove that allows me the room to open large grill tongs all the way. My only complaint is that it fell apart where the fingers meet the thumb after about a year, but I used it at least once per week and handled a lot of rough cast iron (which led to lots of wear and tear). Good glove, though; I've already ordered a replacement. | 1positive

Had this vacuum 2 years. It died while I was vacuuming. Pros: is it is quieter than my old hoover. Cons: the cord is too short and didn't retract well. Bags fill up quickly as they are small and expensive. It is hard to control when pulling. The floor attachment is to big. The attachments are easily knocked off the wand. I wouldn't recommend this vacuum. | 0negative
