The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned. +I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. +As others have said, the instructions are worthless. +Simple, durable, inexpensive and the best damn coffee you can brew with a very simple set up and easy clean up. +it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent, but you dont have to. +They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. +I will definately continue utilizing this pan, and if you do, you will like it as much as I do.. just used water after the rolls baked, no soap.. +It's very quiet, has a low and high setting and a temperature dial so you can adjust it to the right temperature. +To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. +The cord is really short , so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. +It delivers on its promise of clean water . +It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. +First let me tell you I don't know anything about vacumn bags . +the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream. +Great price for this many hangers. +Since gluten free bread tends to continue to shrink after baking , my idea was that the "bowling ball" shape of these loaves would shrink equally in all directions, and still look attractive -- and that is proving out in practice pretty well, with only the bottom flat of the loaves buckling in slightly. +I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth . +They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker. +Unfortunately, the slots are a little too thin to accept the tines . +This faithful little egg cooker works great. +The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. +Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer. +I was lucky and had wood studs in just the right place so I didn't use the included hardware, but I put the anchors into my tool box for later use. +The non-stick surface is far superior to those found on most other brands of cookware. +Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it. +The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. +I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). +When a young friend of our family 's got married recently, I wanted to give her something that she would use a lot and for a long time so when I learned she needed a set of cookware, I researched and decided on this set. +Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time. +I like the feel of the handle grip and the see through lid . +I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. +I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things.... +The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable . +In hindsight, I'd choose to go with a larger model because you have to downsize most recipes to use it or you have more than will fit in the pot. +It seems to me that it would be much safer if the mixer automatically reset itself to OFF when it's unplugged. +I am disappointed on the quality though . +It also fits in nicely with the design of many kitchens and appliances on the market today ( stainless steel , or black/white appliances. +I have this thermometer in black and it's been great. +I purchased this ice cream maker in 2007 (winter) for $39.99 but did not use it until summer of 2008. +My (women's) razors did NOT fit well in the smaller pockets up top and tend to fall out. +Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can. +I've cooked steaks and chicken on the grill and pancakes, bacon and eggs on the griddle and haven't had a problem with anything sticking . +I've only had it for a couple days , but I'm sure I've used it at least 10 times since then (I drink a lot of tea, and need hot water for other reasons).It heats water fast, shuts off timely after boil, stays hot. +I love this timer so much that now I've bought four of them and I have them in different places all over my classroom . +This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically .The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. +Clean up is a breeze and little if any product is left behind on this mat. +Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. +It is heavy , so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. +If I had to do it over, I would just buy the rack, then order 18 bottles separately (Penzey's sells ones with sturdier plastic lids for less than a buck each) and I'd put this spice rack together myself for ~the same price . +It's now been almost 15 years that I purchased my first two (a 2 and a 3 litre that I store sugar and flour in) and I was looking for slightly smaller decorative jars to store some coffee and powdered cocoa in. +I ended up looping the flap over the bar and pinning it with a safety pin to the bottom of the organizer. Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers. +It doesn't stay together and will literately crumble if there's any weight on it , and sometimes even if it's moved. +Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd. +I used a Reynolds Oven Cooking Bag which I have used before in my oven but found that in a small roaster where the bag touches the sides it burned through the bag in several places and left burned plastic residue on the sides of the roaster that was very difficult to scrub off. +The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out. +The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. +I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning. +I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. +This Zojirushi is becoming my favorite ! +I absolutely adored the Bodum Bistro Large Electric Water Kettle ! +There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. +At $300 vs. $1200+ for local priced twin memory foam I suppose one can't complaint too much - but I would not have accepted such a defect if I didn't have to send it back - and that's not easy from Alaska . +This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it! +My wife tells me I'm a knife snob now. +Then again, Amazon was handling the returns. +I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. +I like the size of it, it was easy to hold, and the cordlessness was a big plus, especially with all the clutter on all the counters. +I used to have a 4 inch Lakewood fan which I don't think they make anymore it looked kinda like this but a millionaire guy who looks like the dead milli vanilli stole it off my work desk . +The other thing that I have noticed is that when slicing a roast or turkey breast, I always end up with part of the bottom not slicing , then I have to cut it off with a knife a few times. +So far I have only used this blender to make smoothies , and there are often a few little chunks. +The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it. +The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to , but the air was not cool. +It is very disappointing to have to throw away 5 qts of homemade ice cream...not to mention the cost of ingredients. +The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces : one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box. +There is no control to set the temperature. +I have these pie platesPyrex Easy Grab 9-1/2-Inch Pie Plateand because of the easy grab lip , it JUST fits. +When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! +Great toaster, makes bagels just like the bagel shops (crisp on the inside and soft on the outside-assuming you cut the bagel in half of course). +Overall I like it very much. +The product serves its purpose for heat resistence and helping to protect the non-stick surface +Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well. +I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand. +My apartment is an old Victorian and some of the windows are TINY (15" wide)! +The book is spectacular. +We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun! +For example, you do have to pour in the base quickly and start stirring quickly, or it may freeze in place . +I bought mine from Japan Super Mall, and it's made in Japan . +it's going to be great for my breakfast nook in the kitchen . +My pantry has long, narrow shelves , and this fits fine. +The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. +The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless , according to the information stamped on the bottom. +It isn't good for re-heating fast foods like pizza, but great for re-heating chinese foods that you order from take-out .Still, despite a few flaws, Sharp still knows why they make great microwave ovens, and their R-230KW is definitely worth its money. +This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments , but doesn't seem to affect performance at all. +My young daughter quickly figured out how to work the pour-button spout on the handle, so you may want to make sure that it's up high enough on counters or in the fridge so that little hands can't reach it. +The bottom of each section offers space for simple removal and dispatch of both smaller ( espresso ) and larger (creamers) T-Discs. +I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past. +Extremely well made - padded; great zippers. +I don't use it to make coffee ; although, I'm sure it would be fine for that as well. +So, I bought this mold , to use as an ice cube tray. +They both work great, We like the choice of coffees and the quick service we get when orgering coffee from Amazon . +It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast , but much smaller than our previous one. +that will stain the stone , the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken. +The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash . +I first used one at my sister in law's house and really liked it. +and it takes up no space (fits in a shoe when you pack) and, along with an electric hot water boiler, we had the best coffee on the ship and before room service ever woke up. +They're good quality, but you have to treat them carefully if you want them to last. +My table is on a carpet and is stable. +Have had it for about 3 weeks so far. +You can get a durable Cuininart HM-50 for the same price (no brainer) or the Consumer Reports recommend KitchenAid Power 5 for about $10 more Do yourself a favor and look around. +I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast , plus it is time consuming and messy. +And the recipes included with the cookie press are very heavy on butter - 3 or 4 sticks for each batch! - which makes them taste more like shortbread cookies to me (not my favorite and more expensive to bake). +but I think a lot of the problems listed are user error . +I like the fact that the boards are three different sizes, for example, no sense getting a large cutting board dirty if you're just going to cut some cheese, while the larger boards come in handy for cutting fruit and vegetables . +The electric cord is on one side of the machine -- always the opposite side of where my electric socket is.pros:makes nice juiceinexpensivefastnoise level is tolerableI get the grater basket clean pretty easily with a dishwashing brush. +Works perfect for separating out everyone's shoes, winter hats , and left room to store the boys' backpacks and even set up a framed picture and a beloved knickknack. +The vacuum did a pretty good job with the fan blades, but there was still dust when I was finished (meaning, when my arms gave out and I gave up.) +The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine. +Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use. +It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it. +We have had the machine about three months now +the double wall of glass does help keep my tea hot and keep my glass from sweating. +It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong .Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly. +It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm 4; instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. +The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them. +You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. +I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. +The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to. +I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years. +It's a little larger than a standard hand vac, but I was looking for something with power because I'm not the best housekeeper. +i like using a steamer on hardwood floors as it really cleans them without using chemicals . +I really love OXO products and hope they can fix this problem. +it is smaller than my pyrex 13x9 glass pan, but i love this white porcelain pan, i love the handles and the fact that it can be used for more than lasagna. +No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. +You get more flavor from your coffee than using a drip and a filter . +Tom Douglas by Pinzon Bamboo Tongs are good quality, strong and light. +The carafe has a Pyrex feel, and it's surrounded in places by plastic to protect your hands from heat. +A really great price for great quality . +I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10 , even when it's been 10 F. outside. +Gone are the days of using knifes ! +I really like this version of collapsable colander . +I have not used the built-in butter melter thingie , as I learned a long time ago that doing that makes a mess of the popper and requires a lot more clean up. +Bought this pan about a month ago , and have been using it constantly. +The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry. +While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially . +The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs , which haven't nicked at all. +I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. +Also, the whisk attachment is not very strong. +I still think that my old krups drip makes a great cup. +This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread. +Tools are to small -the motor has a w h +A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day. +We have a wooden dowel for the clothing rack & I had to force the bag to fit on this bar. +Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why. +The company in my opinion needs to safety test this product a bit more closely .Natalie +Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie . +The thing I like most about this toaster is the commendable uniformity of its toasting . +And it shuts off after 15 minutes or can just be turned off. +Didn't know serving spatula's existed but I wasn't surprised. +I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick ) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together. +Not only do these BedVoyage sheets look great but the super soft feel is fabulous! +For a real test I gave some to four different people to try and they all liked it. +Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? +First off, I have a Silver Persian +This tool would also work with unripe papaya to shave into pickled preserves or other papaya recipes. +I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children . +When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! +I love cold-filtered coffee . +I've steamed fresh broccoli and carrots for about 4 people , and it was not crowded. +It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee . +Some of the rust is alredy surfacing . +The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal . +I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models. +no noticeable odor and it just keeps on working. +Per other recommendations, I did let the popper heat up a few minutes before I put in the popcorn and a little bit of popcorn oil. +it is like a big gallon ice-cream bucket . +The feet keep it elevated so that air can circulate around it. +16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. +I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it . +The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel like smell no kidding that comes from the pan once it gets very hot. +After about a week , the whole basement was a little clearer. +The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. +I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds . +After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. +This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). +I wanted a thermal carafe, and when it arrived with glass I assumed I'd made a mistake. +I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none! +A poured glass takes half an hour to settle. +To sum it up-- animal fur on furniture is no longer a problem , powerful sweeper and suction-carpeted stairs are now a breeze to clean, even great suction along the edges-the reuseable filter is very durable and very easy to clean-very well designed, feels very balanced, cord storage is excellent-easily switch to hose and crevice tool, and it has great suction as well-glides effortlessly across flat surfacesThis little guy is so handy, I will sometimes get on my hands and knees and do a guick spruce up of the entire living room. +Only for tea or black coffee though and put up with plastic taste. +the Cuisinart is a better value if it's within $10 of this. +The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy . +I have an electric tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France +I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass +After too many frustrating times when I needed my smallest cutting board but it was already dirty from something else and I couldn't cross-contaminate things, I ended up ordering two of these 5x7 Architec boards, one in turquoise and one in white. +But, if you have any sort of comfort issue as you're standing and working in the kitchen, I would bet the ol' GelPro could make things significantly more comfy ! +I find that it takes longer than suggested cooking times ... 8 hours can turn out to be 10 plus hours . +Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price . +I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover . +This is "guaranteed for life", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. +Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible. +My old wooden drying rack gave up the ghost after 20 years of service. +This one works fine , and there is no problem pouring using it (??). +I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can , but alas I did not just once but twice! +I also have had people who are skinny and they have said it was the most comfortable folding chair they have sat in too. +I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. +Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser . +Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!) +Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices. +Update Oct. 31, 2011OK, it's been 2 years and I've changed the batteries once. +The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air. +LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press , and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter, which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend. +I simply apply to center of my forehead and it starts working. +I'd give it one more star if it wasn't so loud. +I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems. +Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will. +Coffee tastes better ..no pot to clean. +It's sturdy, attractive, easy to use and to clean and according to her mother who also owns Simply Calphalon, she will be using it forever . +The only thing I dislike so far about the Breville BJE200X is the pulp collector size since I juice a lot on a daily basis so I have to empty the pulp collector more often than the Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro. +The pan will season itself with each cooking. +9 years ). +This trash can is what I consider medium sized as I use a 39 gallon metal one a local store painted for my trash - 6 people = 1 black trash bag per day. +I made pizza from recipes in the book +The folding legs are nice when it comes to storing them, since they take up less space , but there really needs to be a way to lock them into place during use. +Also, it's big enough to cover a large plate. +They fit my half sheet pans , clean easily, work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off. +I found that adding an egg or two, and sometimes a little beer to the bread recipes makes the loafs come out FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFFY!Wonderful!AND... at only about $1/loaf for ingredients, it pays for itself within a few months.***************************December 24, 2013Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. +A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early . +When I started buying different size tips, I found that I couldn't get one coupler to fit the larger tips, so it turned out to be a real challenge to find the right couplers .I later found out that some people don't even use couplers, they just drop the tip into the bag, but I really didn't want to go that route. +I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up. +ZeroWater produces water that tastes good, much better than bottled water, which has a plastic taste . +(And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.) +I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. +While this is a relatively inexpensive kitchen tool, I suggest contacting the manufacturer if problems arise. +After dropping the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out, cakes our pretty much leveled as we rarely have to level the cakes. +These beautiful stainless steel steak knives come in an elegant ebony box with gleaming chrome hinges and clasp. +a Krups that worked well and lasted a very long time, but all good things must come to an end so when it came time to replace it, I found my only option was a hand-held (which I also have as a back-up) and this Hamilton Beach model. +* Update Sept 17 th, 2011 * +I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** +Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups. +I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours . +The second issue which was more my fault is the size . +If you've never owned a product like this before you might not realize that you absolutely CANNOT soak them in water . +I bought this because I'd been wanting to try a salad spinner , but didn't want to spend a lot. +Overall a great product, very easy to clean up makes using it a pleasure and not a pain. +I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop . +KitchenAid has been making fine kitchen appliances for nearly a century now - their first product having been a mixer! +My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. +we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it does not come with the screws to mount to the wall, that was no biggie, just make sure to get 3 and a half inch wood screws at the hardware shop and your set to go, we assembled this unit in less then 15 minutes, and got it up on the wall in 20 minutes = 35 minutes, this is a great concept and it does not stick out far from the wall and the openings are the perfect size. +As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night. +I guess he really likes slicing potatoes and grating cheese. My wife even sent one small but necessary piece of this down the disposal. +It is quiet as can be. +This tortilla warmer really works. +I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. +Plus.......

set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable. +There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall. +I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet. +RV'S DO NOT HAVE A GOOD OVEN FOR BAKING PIZZA . +Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance . +I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. +Very unexpected to match my fine china as well. +Heats up quick and even, timer is accurate but does not double as a clock . +Kuerig , you really dropped the ball on this one. +It has actually useful and worthwhile features ( temp, and "keep warm" ). +The bonded leather is really nice looking and looks like leather. +Beside those two things, I am happy thus far with the oven, but I've only had it for about a month . +They are great pans for a great price! +I wish it were a little bigger, but with creative arrangement it will hold 6 pieces of french toast. +The only drawback that I've seen so far (and this goes for most travel mugs) is the difficulty in cleaning it . +Instead of a pristine flat baking surface, there are some dents in the pan's surface . +Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC, fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock! +I have had two of these from Amazon the first one the base didnt work at all, this one the base is like 90% working... there is a screw you are supposed to attach to the swivel part of the base but if you do it properly it wont swivel, so I left it off and it swivels "good enough". +a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge. +I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. +I highly suggest this pressure cooker, but realize you have to make sure the seal is clean, the pressure relief valve is in its proper position (parallel to the handle with it pointing to right while looking at the front of the cooker) and you will have a successful experience with this cooker. +Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA. +Finger prints and future dust can be removed with a soft cloth. +Update 11/10/13: After 10 months, I still love the performance and functionality of the oven, BUT the convection fan has become quite noisy as other users have reported. +Any size cookbook you're likely to own, can safely, be easily be held open by this 'pop-up' holder .My cookbook holder has been used for everything from a recipe scribbled on the back of an envelope,to three inch thick hard-cover books, and yes even 3 ring binder style. +I've had my Bissel Vac for about 3 years now and have been using the same filters that came with it-I washed them regularly and they held up well. +It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket. +Recently received this item and have already used it a few times. +While it is muli-functional;

+Amazon needs to add a " zero " stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return! +It has a nice non-skid bottom surface so it does not scratch or slide on my granite countertop. +it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. +I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-) +It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack . +Be sure to note that it specifies you should not use oil sprays (like Pam) because of buildup, and also that the cover is good only to 450 degrees in the oven. +Most just say in the drawer till I clean out my kitchen and donate themI've also found many Oxo products to either be an amazing hit or a dud. +I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive , lightweight and work just great with cotton candy. +I inspected the pieces of wood as I removed them from the box and noticed a split on the front piece to the left of the keyboard door. +This is the second time I've purchased one of these, the first was about 12 years ago. +This is the perfection solution to not only holding the roll, but of storing a few spares!I haven't had issue with mine falling over , but we also do not yank the paper with brute force either... +Our old coffee pot finally had it, it was leaking all over the place, the clock stopped working.... +It is first and a excellent sandwich maker, but it can be used for other things, like frying bacon , warming sausage paddies, grilling hot dogs and making toast. +I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off . +This is the second Luna Pad that I have purchased for a 2 year old who is in a full size bed. +The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid . +The iron has a 30 second turn-off safety feature that activates when the iron is left on horizontally, and an 8 minute turn-off when the iron is left on vertically. +and I have no idea if it is normal or not, pots from my previous set are still good, pans however I am ready to throw out - so sticky they became and I am struggling to even do scrambled eggs, let alone frying some cutlets and anything with more cooking time. +I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. +Recently I warched the movie "Iron Lady" where Meryll Streep portrays Margaret Thatcher . +This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement. +I broke my sworn promise to only purchase U.S. manufactured products , but it does appear to be made much better than most things made in China. +Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. +The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. +Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC , fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock! +You need to watch the videos on Youtube.com before you purchase to make sure this is what you want. +I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. +My husband saw how my shoes got organized and wants one, and he figured that two will fit in my closet and still leave room for my long hanging stuff. +Easy to dump out the dirt. +Just sayin' -- be prepared and don't hold them upside down unless you want a lot of salt or pepper .The other glass ones I've had were cheaper and the salt eats through the finish on the lids. +It's higher quality than it needs to be +I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. +I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars , but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. +You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer. +The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need. +I have a ton of shoes too and I'm going to put about 20 pairs of athletic type shoes in one side, boots, and thongs and sandals and put those on the floor too. +My mother-in-law sits on them in her favorite chair so we fold them over a little. +When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it is a little better quality than the ones I own that were sold under a different brand name - Mrs. Anderson's . +A good buy ! +Rated this a 3 because I love the tiny pepper mill but the salt mill, leaves a lot to be desired. +I've only had it for a short while , but it seems to be very sturdy and I can imagine it holding up well over time. +I expect I'll be using this for other hot beverages too. +Oxo makes great tools for the kitchen, and we have a buch of them. +I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store. +The extension part is a bit weak. I have it fully extended as I guess most people would like them. +I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. +Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. +I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain. +One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works . +OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. +Not a problem, I thought, I'll just buy something to keep the soap and hair from clogging the pipes . +I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for . +If you like your poached eggs very undercooked , this might be okay for you. +The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. +The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking. +Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance. +Pretty great product, we're very pleased . +Cleans just fine and the color choices are good, got the Vanilla and the Red one. +I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. +I love Duralex dishes and bowls for their sturdiness and clean good looks, so that's where I went looking when I wanted to get a set of extra bowls for cereal, desserts, snacks , and so on. +I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it . +Don't for a second, though, forget how important it is to have a good spoon : comfortable, easy to use for stirring, useful in a cooking pot or saute pan, durable, easy to clean. +I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. +Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair. +Later I was able to get the connectors out of the poles without damage using pliers so could have assembled the rack with the original parts, but I found a use for the extra pole and appreciate that Whitmor replaced the parts without charge. +Does not even need washing ! +If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. +This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. +Another great attribute of this mug is that it does not sweat , so your desk stays dry if you're using it at work. +While they do seem to hold a good amount of stuff, it seems unlikely you'll hit the 25-lb weight limit unless you're lugging home bags of canned goods--so you're probably safe there. +The 16" diameter is great for big cabinets . +In my personal opinion, if you're going to splurge and get one of these, go with a more expensive brand . +Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. +I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill. +There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc. +The navigation works great, took about 3 minutes for the mint to sync with the north star navigation unit. +I had a older version of this product; this one offers even better results ! +This jar opener would be a perfect solution for the elderly and others who have weak hands or an injury. +The sides are pretty sloped . +My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it. +This toaster is really big , but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it. +I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue , but that's where it ends. +For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall . +Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle , terminating at the head of the utensil. +I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats , and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! +Granted, this was about 10 years ago . +I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one. +The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water . +I haven't used the vegetable steamer yet, only the rice cooker, so my review is only for the rice cooker portion . +Wife bought this a long time ago .I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing. +The aerated wine tasted even better. +It has a fat handle that gives your hand good leverage when using the single tooth to get long fat strips of lemon zest. +This wastes a lot of kernels, but the kernels are super cheap, and I didn't want an air-popper that plugs in, takes up space, and needs constant monitoring*.The bottom of this bowl has some brown spots where kernels burnt a bit (rare, but it happens. +The front leg has a button you push to collapse it +The plastic is so thin it flexes at the slightest touch , which created the following sequence: Try and put the top on the base and first one side of the base pops out, get that side in and the back pops out, get the back in and the other side pops out , get the base all lined up and on and the float rod isn't lined up with the switch, take the top off and start all over again, continue ad nauseam... +The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height. +Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now! +I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies. +no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure .. +It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. +I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them. +The pack stays frozen for a few hours; I left it on the coffee table for a few hours and when I came back it was still mostly solid and still cold... +I like to make a beef stew but with all the vegetables I use it can come out a bit watery, even without adding water. +If you work in the medical industry and are that guy/girl in the office and you make yourself laugh harder than most interaction with other living things you have already purchased this mug and are only looking at prior purchases on Amazon to make yourself feel better about all the money you spent since you signed up for Prime and went on a binge of cheap crap you would never pay for in the store but since you saw it here for a few bucks ...hey, why not? +My bride ordered this for one of our daughters as a kitchen necessity and that is what it is. +Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons: Grind consistency is lacking. +I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth . +The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. +my main compliants are: regular coffee is terrible, not a lot of variety of coffee, and no organic coffee, so far . +I've been doing this since July of last year (so 7 months now) and I've not had any problems with the bottle. +The 10 piece set will accommodate pretty much anyone. +and although I have a huge walk in closet, I also have a lot of clothes and shoes . +And dishwasher safe too! +It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required . +The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around. +One last note: of the things I've made, it usually takes 10-15 mins . +While I love a lot of OXO products, I this this one is pretty mediocre . +It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens , etc. +However, as we often have both of us and our two teenage boys all in the kitchen at the same time during a meal prep, we have found several uses for it. +This grinder is very easy to use and hold, as the video demonstrates. +Thicker dowels, half inch diameter for heavy duty.3. +I had read every review on all Mattress Toppers in the $25-$50 price range which Amazon carries (for full size mattresses) before ordering the Carpenter 5-Zone. +I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke. +While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. +Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens . +Everything I tried (cable ties, loops that have double stick tape to attach the baseboards, etc.) has failed miserably. +a Cuisinart and I have this lovely, versatile Japanese model..... +I returned only the two broken tiles in the original box and kept the four good ones... then I received another shipment of 6 tiles... which had 3 broken tiles in it. +I love heated plates and the top surface doubles as a plate warmer . +This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf . +You need to know that iRobot corp . +Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? +I have in the past had bag-less vacuums and wasn't looking forward to having a bag again. +I don't have a clue if it works for an hour , like the package stated. +This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery . +My last pot was Black & Decker , which by the way, was also an excellent pot. +I purchased this vacuum as we had moved house and our old vacuum had breathed it last the day we moved out . +We frequently use the juicer attachment . +I would say that it sticks out a total of about 5 inches so it will hit the wall long before the door will hit the doorstop. +The Breville heats quickly, bakes/broils/toasts quicker and more predictably than the big oven, and it doesn't turn my apartment into a sauna. +But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. +I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality. +Bought this in 2009 , have used at least 2-3 times a week, now switched to using it all the time. +I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other sharpeners, which did a fair job, but decided to spend the money for a Wusthof sharpener because I thought that it was made for sharpening Wusthof knives .I was wrong. +The no-skid bottom is absolutely fantastic and keeps the bowl put for heavy stirring or using a hand mixer. +The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. +I ordered 3 of these . +But it's perfect for my use which is homemade ice cream .It's a bummer that it's not (completely) microwave safe - still looking for a BHA-free solution for this. +It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag , unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. +Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie . +I do like the nesting capability and the non-stick feet . +One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly... +Other positives:* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with* elegant and practical handle* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)* small footprint but stableI use the heater in a 10 x 10 room. +After using it for a year , my opinion is beginning to change. +First it does the very basic of what it should- keep food from splattering everywhere . +As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. +Perfect one serving size . +After reading the instructions that say to let the tray stand 2 min and not fill past 3/4, the tray probably works well. +No question on the fully earned five stars rating. +Our 'normal' stick ( an East Coast stick , as I understand that they are different on the West Coast) fits in fine - you do need to 'load' it from the bottom (remove the plunger, then insert), but that's not hard at all. +The description doesn't tell you, so I don't know if they still send it: The container comes with a strainer and a clip for it . +I'd recommend this for anyone with a stainless steel sink who wants a simple holder that is small and unobstrusive . +The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. +Okay, I was in a hurry and I didn't quite get exactly what the reviewers meant when they said it was curved. +I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. +I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. +Cons:--The smaller size is still a bit large for limes --I think it requires a little more "elbow muscle" than other juicers, because the reamer is plastic. +I want a durable pan that LASTS. +By that point we were willing to settle for showers until we discovered the OXO Good Grips Tub Stopper, which relies on gravity and suction to simply fit flatly and snugly in any sized drain. +OXO GG Press Sure Corner Caddy This thing is magic! +Bring to a boil and cook unti l a knife is easliy inserted into each potato . +It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee ). +LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press, and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter , which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend. +The cooking time is about the same as a microwave , and the clean up is pretty quick. +I ordered these to complement 16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set , I intended to use these a tea mugs. +Buy the adapter that goes with it. +I needed something portable to take on camping trips or picnics . +Totally worth the investment and with Prime, the free shipping is great! +I initially had a hard time getting a good and consistant cup of coffee from the EZ cup . +I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time. +Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water. +Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value. +One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold. +Even if you're not old enough to remember Joe DiMaggio pitching for Mr. Coffee, you can appreciate the gold standard of "regular" coffee makers. +Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed. +Grip tape may be in order. +I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets . +We received our machine a couple of weeks ago and we have really enjoyed it . +I had been using a Juiceman Jr . +The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched , because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue. +Compact, quiet, nice color, OK Ionizor, remote, easy to useCONS: blow power on high setting is weaker than my old fan on low setting, doesn't move air around as adequately as I'd hoped in a small room (direct air is satisfying at best), blue/green light is too bright at night (had to stick tape over my lights to dull the glow. +We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. +Just out of curiosity I tested the strength by starting to sit on it , and it felt like it would collapse or break before all my weight was on it. +If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress . +Nothing sticks and everything on the sheet is exactly the same every time. +A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users . +I looked up Melamine and found this warning:"Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. +This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily! +A bit pricey, but well worth it for the amount of money I will save cooking shabu at home .The +I purchased this grinder last June . +It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick , but it doesnt come apart. +These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now .Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job. +Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away ) +All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste . +Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers ! +Every since I was a little kid, I can always remember seeing and hearing my mother using an Oster to make incredible things to drink and for other uses in the kitchen. +Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat. +I have used a lot of similar products in the past and have always been disappointed . +Since I purchased this item at Costco I was glad to not have to receive this item in the mail, only to have to pay for return shipping. +The waterproof protector gets washed with the towels each time - we have 2 twin size protectors that we alternate. +The best part (and primary reason for us choosing FiestaWare ) is that it's made in the US so no "made in China" crap. +This is a knock-off of the original Osterizer part. +It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. The oscillating function works great. +Then the black base catches little bits of cheese and needs to be removed in order to thoroughly clean everything (and it's not as easy to pull that little black piece off as it might sound). +I clean mine occasionally out side with compressed air to get all the dog stink out of the filter housings . +The knife is extremely sharp. +The nuts don't grind evenly . +The scoop is easy to handle, easy to use, easy to clean and does just what it should - scoop & release cookie dough or (probably) meat balls , etc. Haven't tried anything but dough so far. +If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee. +Like this breakfast pancake . +I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches . +I think the ceramic helps offer tea water with no metallic taste. +CONS:- very difficult to cut , especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend. +My wife likes the remote wand to do the steps and the attachments for furniture are perfect for the kids couch and play areas. +At about 2 inches thick and made into squares to keep the materials from shifting too much its pretty nice, especially considering the cost. +(unlike some of my friends who bemoan their experiences with other brands) I have been told also by other friends that the Breville brand is much more reliable and that the customer service and warranty are very good. +I have also used this for putting a hot pan on, and it worked great. +I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great ! +Leggett and Platt are not very helpful. +The motor is powerful - can get loud , too, but it's well worth it when you drink the results. +There are no bolts or wood like in the Kyocera so this product should last longer in the handle area. +Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house . +We use this one to dry cloth diapers inside or to dry delicates . +However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance . +Helps organize a good amount plates( about 12-14per shelf ). +As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months . +The matte finish is very nice. +When it slips out , its usefulness is over. +The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers ) and gives you a place to put it for the time being. +I have to unfortunately run it through the perimeter of my living room so even though the cable management is great I still have noticeable cables around. +You could easily brew two beers at once, 1 in the carboy and the other in the plastic bucket. +The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal . +These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven , I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla. +They're both leakproof, but another big advantage to the stainless steel for me is that it doesn't absorbe taste or odors like the plastic will. +Large enough for me to serve 8 guests.2) Plastic so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3) +I will leave the fan in the window for the entire season so I will not have to struggle with the side panels again until it is time to remove it. +I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members . +Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent . +Love that my roomie and I know whether or not to run the dishwasher. +It grinds smooth and quiet (unlike an electric grinder in early morning hours). +I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well. +This is my second winco chinese cleaver. +I have a Keurig for every day and am growing fond of it, but sometimes, I just need the satisfaction of something slower , more relaxing, more hands-on. +It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours. +I had no problems assembling the first two and assembly time went down significantly on the second one. +This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate. +The first batch yielded a simple, yet satisfying Cowboy Lager . +I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. +The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless. +We use it every day and care for it per Cuisinart's instructions. I'm nursing a 3 month old baby, and I can't be eating teflon unknowlingly. +Just throw the bowl and the paddle in the dishwasher . +Our electric company offers a rebate on Energy Star products, be sure and check with yours. +This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work. +The press itself is perfect for garlic . +If you stay put while you sleep, get this! +I'd much rather be able to capture the taste at home of some of the county fair kettle morns, but until I can invest in a machine and purchase the supplies of those vendors, this will have to do -- really, one can't complain much about four stars . +So, I opted for the Stainless steel Electric pot and sure enough, it is just as great as my other Breville. +It was even louder - the clicks could be heard in the next room over! +Quick, sleek, responsive . +Maybe the one thing I don't like about it is the really smooth bottom that makes it hard to keep it straight on my crappy coil stove . +I had no trouble with holding down the button as some previous reviewers complain about. +While it will likely do the job, if any stress is placed upon it, it will probably rip, as it is also quite thin . +We purchased two of these sets to replace some outdated dinner pieces that we had in our cabinetry. +It's simple, classy actually, and even comes with a bow - all you need is to sign it. +We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it. +It smells like burned rubber . +However, based on other internet research it appeared to be the right beater for my mixer (K5AWW, which is a 5qt model with the bowl lift, not a tilt head model). +If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. +Finally, it has a nice finish that goes well with the rest of our stainless steel appliances. +We have an entire set of All-Clad , and need to add a couple more pieces. +I got the red roaster to replace an overpriced, overrated calphalon roaster I had. +The only thing missing is a hole in the black handle in case you want to hang it inside a cupboard. +They could be used to serve bread, but, in my opinion, they are not fancy enough for that. +The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. +When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent. +For years I have seen this product in stores. +I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. +I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. +My complaints relate to the handle: First it is too short so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless). +Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half - just enough. +The wheels are good and sturdy as well. +The fact that Eva-dry is renewable is touted as an advantage, however, it is a nuisance for those who live in small apartments , like me. +I returned the item since it is unreliable and the customer service was not the best. +The problem is that the container is VERY hot after steaming . +The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price . +I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing. +We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. +Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. +It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed .One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean. +I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. +The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds . +This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand. +I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces . +The ability to switch between regular coffee and kcups is just awesome! +It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. +I haven't had a bad loaf yet!I did get another breadmaker cookbook to go with it. +One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. +Neither particularly bothers me, as I primarily use it for PC gaming , but there are a lot of high-quality chairs out there that offer a recline option and arms for around the same price. +I think that the 5-" bowls would be a more appropriate size for cereal and ice cream. +(The baster I had been using must be about 25 years old, so I guess I never realized what I was missing.) +Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers . +Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking; nor do the heads pick up any odor, especially when working with pasta sauce and garlic. +As was the experience with several other reviewers, the two center slices toast very unevenly--no matter what the setting or the kind of bread. +I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole . +I just got the Amico and took it for a quick spin today. +I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity. +However it does superbly with loose tea . +On top of that my husband wanted black sheets. +Like my 20 year old one, the numbers are quite clear and the lines are easy to see . +It was cheap enough so I bought it online from walmart for $99 plus shipping since this model is only avalible online. +This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though) .It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. that may sometimes need some heat and pressure. +You can scoop out the last bit of yougurt in the container , get the last of the soup from the can or clean out the saucepan. +This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others. +But, every latte was horribly weak - problem is the steam wand . +A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements. +My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. +The smell took a while to get used to, also. +You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom . +Impossible to get them evenly cooked . +If you oven bake a chicken breast, for example, it takes 30-45 minutes .George +First, set is very attractive in appearance (would make a great gift for the bride to be). +I did not however purchase the NB-900 thru Amazon because I wanted to be able to return it to my local box store in case the bad reviews proved true for me too. +Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. +But the zipper on this Harold's Pie Crust Maker is a better quality and is sewn in more neatly, making a perfect circle (as compared to the sloppy, irregular circle on my Mrs. Anderson's). +Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. +I just received my Pinzon throw today. +The cord is a tad short, but think this was designed so that the unit was used close to the counter top back wall (where most electrical outlets are) and to keep curious children at bay. +I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. +The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. +I have used this for many years and my friend who owns a local cafe and is a connoisseur (which I am not) tells me that it is known to be better than the less expensive espresso machines and to get as good a cup of coffee I would have to get a very expensive (like 1000$ ) espresso coffee maker. +These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk . +The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. +Consider the uses you intend to put it to before purchasing and check the one- and two-star reviews . +I purchased this after my daughter moved out . +On the plus side, the cups are just fine and the lids do fit and don't leak. +I thought the raised portions in the pan would make it nearly impossible to clean, but I was wrong - they clean up like a dream (I hand wash them). +The only drawback to this and other silicone mats is that you cannot cut on it . +but it was just too much hastle to return . +I bought the Dolce Gusto Piccolo after using my sister's when staying at her house. +The price is fantastic and it does a great job. +They handle the dishwasher just fine. +Have had it for about 2 months now and no problems. +Soooo cheaply made and not worth it. +Both ice mold cracked at bottom within a few weeks . +I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running. +it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy, must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches. +The machine works very well and is very easy to program for the different types of breads . +My RO is BareWater system. +That means that when you lay it flat on it's back, the stirring end sticks up into the air at about a 25 degree angle. +I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together. +All in all I am pleased with this and expect to get good use out of this, or at least until I get tired of the pattern . :0) +Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible. +I had both a regular upright vacuum and a tiny little stick vac, this does the job of both and is very light to carry up and down the stairs. +Lighter would be great but under $100 what do you expect. +It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress +This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive. +It recently started making sparks when I heat up the water, so I figured it's time for a new one. +My husband had us turn off our furnace air filter and remove the ionizing coils , and just replace the coils with a cardboard filter. +(I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) +When I received this set, I was surprised to learn that the manufacturer does not recommend using them on ceramic or glass top stoves . +it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy , must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches. +And Braun is one of the best brands out there. +Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far. +Otherwise, I discovered that putting the mixture in too soon will cause the dispenser to dispense more of a splatter (water still separated from the soap) onto my hand. +After only two months, the sheet has split in the middle right along the fold. This means that it's OK for cookies, but if I want to roast potatoes on it and smear it with olive oil, it's going to leave a mess in my pan. +This press fits my 10 1/2 " cast iron skillets PERFECTLY.I am a loyal Amazon customer, I love their return policy and their customer service. +I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. +The major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red , disappoint. +It cooks the oats in three to four hours on low. +When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting. +Then you can slip the top leg half in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening. +I bought both the Bambu Kitchen Fork and the Cephalon Nylon Fork a year ago, both for use with non-stick kitchen pans. +So far I have dried peaches, apples and cherries and made beef jerky. +In the same price range you can find (for example)this Cuisinart set, or if you really need non-stick in the essential pans, thisFarberware Classic Stainless Steel 17 -Piece Cookware Set. +I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean. +Also, the glue wears off of the cork pretty fast. +The only strange thing is that it can never seem to settle on a weight. I understand that as you move your weight fluctuates by a few 10ths of a pound. +I have since bought a brand at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a much more solid feeling thick toggle in the center, and 1+ years with no problems. +We've only had them for a few weeks but use them very regularly and so far they're great! +Since its just the two of us +I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries. +It also has two hooks on it so I can hang it on my wire shelves in my laundry area when not in use. +I suppose it will save on having to start your oven, and the muffins do cook faster and cleanup is quicker . +I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine .Overall, really glad I bought this! +Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use. +At the start, they were suppossed to be temporary .Then we bought extra plates, because we'd fallen in love with them. +King Size SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl Free does what it should. +Pretty much the same, except the Trader Joes Organic was tougher and more chewy. +I had purchased a memory foam mattress from Amazon about 4 years ago and it was perfect - and comfortable. +We've been using ours in the dishwasher for the past 2 months, and there have been no ill effects. +Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser , but they sent me coupons for more filters! +This way, I don't have to clean out the press after each crush , and the skin on one at the end makes it easier to clean out because the skin sort of "pulls out" the garlic bits. +It's lightweight and easy to move around from room to room if you need to. +I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes . +They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome . +It locks closed and seems sturdy . +I do know that I love that I can refill my cylinders locally at a sporting goods store and some beverage centers as well, unlike Soda Stream which aren't compatible with the systems the previous mentioned venues offer, or you need to be a chemist to try and refill yourself ! +I have never had a problem with the acidity of coffee, and when I tried cold-brewed, it was the bland taste that lacked all the complex flavor notes that drove me away. +so you can fit ice cubes in.6) Sized to fit a car cup holder. +I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more. +There is a plastic leg that goes in the middle of the base that sticks out slightly more than the other legs...hopefully this was just ours since we were able to easily spin the TV stand. +So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup . +The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven , and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line. +Even goo gone will not take away the glue covered surfaces top and bottom. +OK, this is where I am going to mushy & gushy over a mundane household product...a laundry rack . +I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me , but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality. +It was fairly easy to put together ( a pair of pliers helped). +These were a gift . +This press is stylish enough to leave out on my cooktop and keeps my coffee hot for at least an hour. +I am glad I bought the Freshware brand, as the pan is of very good quality (and I know my silicone bakeware), but was of the lowest price for this type of design (rose).Follow the instructions to oil the pans before first use, and you won't have any sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing. +This pan is fundamentally different .In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good. +Also, there is no lip between the handle and the spoon, so you can easily "sweep" a measurement of a dry ingredient flat. +The long story short, very nice shelves, nice finish on them, sturdy, well made, solid wood (ya baby) and works perfectly for my needs. +We also like the retractable cord feature. +I am very happy with this purchase! +As I have an agitator washing machine, I really appreciate bagging bras and other items that used to tangle brutally in the wash, sometimes strangling other stuff into deep wrinkles that needed an iron to get out . +I've found than for stews it helps to cut up potatoes and carrots and microwave them in a little water for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on size) before adding to the pot and for delicate items such as peas to add shortly before serving . +It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. +I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. +It is made to look that way. So if you like the worn out in spots, faded look, this is the quilt for you, like a nice pair of worn out jeans. +The cookie cutters are dull and aren't straight up and down, are sloped inward as you cut, not sure why. +One drawer sits a little high and requires some force to get it in, but it's not the end of the world. +The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. +Warm up time is usually like 10 mins , but it keeps heat and pressure consistent thereafter, even with continual trigger. +The glass bottom feature is great...no mess trying to separate the cake from the bottom in order to serve. +i cook a lot of indian food, and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste. +I will always have my Hamilton Brew Station for my morning coffee +In early use I have heard zero transformer noise .Either pad will save energy. +I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes. +The cord does not stretch out straight enough so you have to contend with the cord curling .I +My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one. +It leans to a side. I wouldn't return them! +Well, she had it on the lowest setting +Important tip to note: Stick the metal tip into item , let it sit for a couple of seconds and then turn on the thermometer. +This Breville BJE200XL is powerful and the RPM is way faster than my Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro . +A good baking tool makes the process much simpler and this baking aid from Freshware is certainly one to consider buying. +If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place ) +Plus, they contain sugar . +the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special. +I don't use a lot, so the half liter works .I will also be getting the 1 liter as I like it so much. +In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy! +I like the shape of the scoop itself, it's a little sharper and flatter and really does a nice job digging into the ice cream. +The brush motor is quite powerful +I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. +The measurements were 13-1/2"W x 36"H x 12"D , not even as big as this one. +With the open bottom and black and silver. +I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. +It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking. +I know $100.00 is not much for a good machine, but I still think that's alot of money and now also a big waste of my time. +We have not regretted this purchase one bit, and are continually impressed by it's design and ease of use. +I like its simple rectangular shape with rounded corners , and it's big enough to hold very large bars of soap. +I called Honeywell to get clarification on their fans and was forwarded to the actual company who makes the fans. +The pitfalls of shopping on Amazon I guess. +It does a good job and I've not experienced the problem others have described ie the motor shutting down for a 'mandatory' cooling off period. That said, the 'static-free' glass container is a bit of a laugh. +Loop Belts stay on it well 2. +The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. +These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans. +I almost sent it back, then read the instructions to warm it under warm water . +Thank you so much Amazon.com for the great price, good value and prompt delivery. +I have many large dogs and one occasionally puts a paw or two on the bed in the morning and one will sneak into it if given the opportunity. +I've tried the traditional wood , the one offered by Epicurian and this one. +She also mentioned to me that since these don't have any obvious Christmas designs on them they can be used not just at the holidays but all winter long. +I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri . +The item came in no time flat and it's been a wonderful addition to our tiny kitchen +If you season them properly per the instructions included, they are indeed nonstick and very scratch resistent . +I found that this is the only way to keep silverware looking brand new as opposed to the silverware stored in the kitchen drawer and is used daily that shows some knicks here and there for obvious reasons. +As soon as I blotted up the moisture , I could see the dark from the spot on the blotting towel. +Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper! +Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages. +Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base. +It makes it a more multi -functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role. +There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog . +This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it . +It was oddly difficult to find one of these in a physical store - I looked at Walmart and at Bed Bath and Beyond but I couldn't find a big one. +The automatic lid works as promised (although I'm not sure if the manufacturer's representation about how long this product will last based on how many times the automatic lid will open on average in a given day makes a whole lot of sense; on average, my trash can's lid opens and closes dozens of times a day).The body of the can feels a bit thin, so throwing in a heavy item right after changing the bag may eventually cause dents in the can. +Also, I'm generally a fan of cast iron, but even when oiled, the batter stuck to the divots which were really annoying to clean. +I use these pretty much daily now and haven't even touched the extra liter bottles I got yet and it's been three months . +I do love the look of this utensil holder, but it only works well if you have it fully loaded . +-the only thing is the satin lacquer finish has gone dull from repeated washing but that was expectable. +It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes , and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. +I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it. +What I like about this one is that the handle does not come out at 90deg. it bends down which makes it easier and safer hold and to clean cause it kind of hooks on your fingers as you clean it. +It's not the pan so much as the condition it arrived in that I'm reviewing. +I love that it has a very accessible button to switch from hard floor to carpeting and the dust canister is extremely easy to empty. +I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor. +I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them , I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great, I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier. +I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. +It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery . +My bother-in-law was having an open house party and was serving red or white wine only. +I would have given this 5 stars but after a month or so these little bumps began to form on the finish of the inside of the scoop. +That being said, even though I have a ice maker with ice through the door, I still use these trays because the cubes look cooler , and more importantly, they last significantly longer than my ice makers "cubes" (more like wedges). +It's simple to put together, simple to use and not really bad to clean up . +Works great, single hand operation is nice. +the step by step instructions make it foolproof. +I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. +Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes. +Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months. +One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close. +Hey, get a shop vac from Sears . +The salt shaker loads from the bottom ; a rubber flange pushes into the hole to keep the salt in. +Leifheit's Vario Cutting Board is a welcome addition to my kitchen. +First, the base of the pin to pierce the eggs is too wide . +I am an avid sewer, so I really have to have a good ironing board . +I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use. +We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014 . +Also living in a higher altitude, we needed to turn down the temperature and that seemed to help a lot too. +Now my rice is perfect, I love the fact that the Zojirushi gives me a simple setting for every type I prepare. +It's fairly loud, but it takes only about 10 seconds so it's not too bad. +But after about 6 months or so , the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, one by one, rendering them useless. +The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems to at least get the humidity above 30% , which is far better than the 25% we sometimes get in the winter. +so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3) Fit into the fridge door (which this one does because it is oval rather than round - ingenious!)4) Clear so the tea is made quickly - which yesterday proved to be less than 20 minutes.5) +There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc. +So why 4 stars and not 5?

There is a tiny little target to add water and the top gets in the way of draining the carafe into the water reservoir. +The navigation works great, took about 3 minutes for the mint to sync with the north star navigation unit . +One piece of advice I will give others is when preparing to use a broth, preheat the pot . +As suggested, purchase the larger size. +Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place. +After cooking , I scrape & even sometimes use a little water (immediately dry) and then wipe with paper towel and thin layer of oil before putting it back in my cabinet . +Was given the Cork Remover as a gift. +bottom unsnaps to provide 3" gusset for bigger items ... camera, glasses, even in a big case! +Bought two as gifts for a friend at 2/3 the price that I paid for mine at a kitchen store. +You won't be using this for baking poultry pieces, pork chops, etc. , and don't even think you could put a turkey on it. +The 12 cup capacity is the perfect size in my opinion: it's large enough to puree large batches of soups, but small enough to be practical to mince up a few cloves of garlic (especially with the mini bowl attachment).I haven't found anything this device can't do. +It is mission impossible to keep my house pet hair free. +Bought 2 of these. +I'm new to using a Food Saver , and I waited until I had used quite a few of the bags, before giving this review. +These shelves had an amazing way of collecting piles of clothes , hats and flip-flops. +Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off +This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. +I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. +3 qt . +I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. +The joint between the stem and the glass is the weakest part, and twisting will put too much torque on this point. +I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid. +I have tons of Wusthof knives, they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. +We only need to add air every couple of weeks , but it would be a real nuisance to attach a standard pump that often. +I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall +I still prefer the way that almond milk turns out when strained through something that is more tightly woven - which captures all of the fiber. +Guaranteed to increase your consumption of T-Discs (is that a good thing? +After 3 weeks, the glass carafe is still in good shape and hasn't cracked like so many others have reported, but I'm treating it with extreme care. +The system itself has good intentions and isn't overly cheap, but it is certainly not going to make the complex cup of coffee that a french press or Chemex will. +The Chillsner solves that problem. +When I would set my Mr. Coffee to come on at 6AM it seems I didn't get up until 6:20 and the coffee was already burnt ! +I recently purchased this heater to heat a 15' x 14' room and this heater works great. +The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. +The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small , I wish they were a tiny bit bigger. +I'm sure it is from the waterproof material that is used in its construction. +I especially like how well it works in the bathroom . +If you're like me and you have AV equipment with multiple cable connections , then there's no way those cables will fit in the space allotted for the covers to snap into place . +Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points . +Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices. +My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these! +When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. +I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used. +I have used the slicer three times, On the third use , the switch would only work in pulse mode which rendered the slicer useless to me as I can't hold the switch and slice a 2 lb chunk of meat. +All were essentially plastic and did an adequate job on onions, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc. +When I put it in, I noticed that instead of giving me a neat dollop like it was doing with the proprietary soap, it was giving me literally a very tiny dribble drop that was too small to wash with. As you may have noticed, the proprietary (and much more expensive) soap was of a more diluted consistency. +We use them in our commercial concessions and bounce house company and they are a huge hit. +BECAUSE THE MEASUREMENTS ARE GENEROUS, IT ACTUALLY FITS BEAUTIFULLY ON MY KING SIZED BED . +These hangers are worthless , and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away. +The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used. +I'd get it pretty and clean with this thing and then seal it. +This is my first Tamago Pan so I can't really be fair when I say it's awesome. +So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts . +It does not take up too much counter space , which is a huge plus. +I love that this is a compact processor that works fabulously! +Made three sandwiches with it, one turned out fine, but the other two were just a mess. +Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes .3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4) +I had a potluck BBQ with several friends who were doing various preps in my kitchen of things they had brought...after several of them mentioned loving the knife and that they were considering just slipping it into their bags when they left... +So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. +First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. +This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together. +Heavy and is just the right size, this is my favourite mug. +I typically keep 3 different ones in the fridge at any given time. +The set was of great quality and these sheets will stand up to many washings . +I have to say that Braun seems to be just one more company that is suffering from a bad case of quality slippage . +This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. +C&B was backordered for 4 months . +This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. +We like our waffles kind of crunchy - so sometimes we put them in the toaster oven for some extra crisping. +As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids . +I usually cook with Calphalon (the original), but after researching grill pans, decided this would be the one +The Yube Cube Modular furniture system is a little challenging to assemble. +I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon . +And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work! +I am always in need of quality knives and scissors for the kitchen. +I recommend getting the Ball Color 6-Pack Lids and Bands, Blue to go with these. +I can cook food on conventional stove, electric grill, or microwave faster and more efficient than this oven. +The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough, but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along.. +The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. +I have a cover over the mattress and was worried if I put the egg crate cover under the cover it would slide around, hasn't moved. +And if you are prone to dropping earrings or rings slipping off of your finger, then this product is a MUST ---I never have to get my husband to unhook the pipes to fish out my errant earrings ever again! +Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. +The two parts of the handle screw together -- it did take some muscle to get them tightly together -- and the head just snaps on. +I have purchased and returned 3 coffee makers in the last 4 months before buying this one. +The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is very affordable, and well regarded for the price (there was a review in CooksIllustrated). +The see-through window is clear and flexible. +In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. +The Breville BKC700XL Gourmet Single-Serve Coffeemaker with Iced-Beverage Function is amazing and very easy to use and it comes with eighteen coffee pods! +To round out the set, get a 2-quart saucepan and a 12" skillet... +It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate. +Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet , depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. +I read how it cleaned rugs well and broke often +I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother. +That was using the textured scrubbing pad and an all-purpose cleaner. +According to the manual, when that 20 seconds is up, you have to wait five minutes before grinding again; otherwise, the manual warns that the motor may overheat . +I would have preferred a dark color. +Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. It's NOT loud. That is my major caution. +LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press, and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter, which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend. +I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother. +It's made terribly . +On my tile, it cleaned a lot of dirt out of the grout ; it didn't get it all, but it certainly made it easier to clean the little bit that was left. +I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was. +But hopefully it will last a few years . +I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great! +I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent.I will update when I have used these for heavier items. +You should check out their grilling pan and jumbo fryer as well. Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill PanSimply Calphalon Nonstick 12-Inch Jumbo Fryer +After reading many glowing reviews, I decided to purchase the Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale . +I thought that I could use my weight to tamp down the rest of the way and zip it like you would a suitcase - one side zipped but the other zipper came off in my hand - it is going in the trash . +I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine. +First rule with a kettle is to bring the cup to the kettle, not to carry a boiling vessel across the room , etc. +It took me and my 16 yr. old kid exactly one hour to put this together, from the moment we opened the box until we were done tidying up everything. +As you plug it in, keep a close eye on it so this doesn't happen to you. +I like the little wheels for moving it over larger areas and jobs , even though I don't really consider it to be that advantageous or useful. +Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5 -Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait...it holds 13.5-ounces (measured with graduated cylinder; not eyeball) filled completely to the top (not practical for coffee drinkers in less you want a lap-full-o'-coffee). +I recently purchased this heater to heat a 1 5 ' x 14' room and this heater works great. +I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos +I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter. +You put the eggs in the poaching tray , and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). +We recently moved in to our home (about 5 weeks ago) +I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie , because it works better than my blender. +Yes, it's small , we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. +So, I loved it so much and it worked so well, naturally I went out and bought the newer model from Costco .There are some new great features: a larger water tank, a longer cord, three cleaning options, and no pumping action to get it working - just plug it in (wait a few min), select your cleaning option, and start mopping. +The rice is always just right never over/under done .I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites. +If you look at the packaging photo , there's lids on it. +Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing . +The plastic housing is off-putting, but other than that, we are happy with this mill. +It makes both good espresso and good coffee and the milk steamer works very well. +I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often , mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! +This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. +Honestly with a skillet and a toaster you can achieve similar if not superior results to this in the same amount of time. +the handle is the perfect length! +It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well. +Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). +I didn't even think to measure my king sized pillow top bed and this night stand falls WAY short of where I'd like it to be so I ended up having to make a box for it to stand on! +With this Duxtop 1800 Watts cooktop (very powerful) one can cook faster everything, boil water for pasta or vegetables, sear a steak, cook bacon etc. +I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! Just use one of those silicone spatulas and you're good to go. +The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too . +I bought a gallon jug of white vinegar and I spent about an hour or two flushing the machine with pure vinegar. +It's really that easy to use .Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack. +The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. +We have been using it now for about a month and it has remained in excellent working condition. +Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. +I wish I would have trusted all these negative reviews and just gone with something a little more expensive. Returning it tomorrow. +I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. +Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker . +the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it. +I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing paper shoved in one side. +Steuby & Co . +I got these for the matching sheet set - these cases, like the sheets, are really soft and for the price, are great! +The hanger that's included isn't that great, but when I substitute my own padded hangers it's ideal. +I have tried everything to get this machine to make good espresso , to no avail. +Also, with large cans (e.g., 50 oz , you will find it more of a challenge to open the can overall). +It is cute too, washes easily, Dip-It cleans the residue that accumulates over time. +We have one of the older versions without the easy clean lid and this version is much improved. +They're metal with a heavy silicon coating . +I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker . +However, please be very careful because the blade is very sharp. +This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. +Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. +The product listed as 16 1/2 x 11 5/8, but I recieved 18 x 13 mats. Sort of a double edged sword as the larger mats mean I got a slightly better deal than already outstanding price advertized, however, as a result I had to purchase larger "commercial" sized jelly roll pans (difficult to find 18 x 13 cookie sheets).I'd recommend these to anyone who's sick of tracking down parchment paper, or wants a great buy on a great nonstick baking mat. +It is always the two water containers. +Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. +Size-wise, it's nice and big and fits two adults comfortably. +The flavor you get from the popcorn is fabulous !! +This is a 5 star winner for sure! +I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. +Mix - it will bubble up - seetles right down for 4 perfect waffles - 6 min cook.***********Betty +The Thermos travel mug is well made and, here's the thing, it actually keeps drinks hot or cold. +I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. +I have had a Taylor 5 932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now. +*cleans EASILY*stands up out of the way on the counter behind my coffeemaker (or sits)*sharp as ever (11/07)*holder holds it all together very compactly & is easy storage/quick, even the holder hooks on to the storage container.*does not discolor with tomatoes, etc*mandolin itself locks into the holder so prevents prying little hands from taking out SHARP bladed portion, but is easy for the adult who knows where the lock is in back*templates for different cuts slip in effortlessly*the holder is nearly as slim as the mandolin it carries, with all the templates +There has been no shrin king in the washer/ dryer and it's very effective at protecting our mattress, even from an attack of a toddler "accident"- leaving our mattress pee free! +I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element.....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue! +For the price, features , I recommend it! +However, I'm the only one in my household who can get their hands inside this pot . +This one may even end up being cut in half . +That also means there is virtually no clean up after use .It is easiest enough to use that even kids can do it and it comes with a butter or margarine melter that is also a measuring cup. +The mechanisms are highest quality and smoothly grind 6 different levels with out any issues. +While the comforter is not soft enough it looks and feels good (it is also very light), the same cannot be said about the sheets which feel cheap to the hand. +to reach pressure, then the cooking time, and then 10- 20 mins . +...first off dont even attempt to fry eggs in this skillet for at least 2 weeks of using....when i recived mine i washed well in hot water, even tho it seasoned your gonna wanna do it theright way...after washing put on top stove to dry,then cooked bacon in it, you are gonna wanna useanimal fat as much as possiable.....it did stick +No more using cups to mix eggs in or old butter tubs to mix things in! +I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. +I ended up with this based on reviews and price and Im so glad I did. +Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use. +After baking, the smell (and taste) was very noticeable in the custards from the greased half of the mold, and slightly noticeable in the souffles from the ungreased half. +I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice . +it's the shoulder strap . +This cutlery organizer looks great, seems very durable , and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers. +The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. +I'm thankful that there weren't any little grandchildren's fingers reaching in the bowel to steal a taste of the batter when the mixer automatically started up! +Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. +Researched a dozen mixers, biggest complaint was that slow speeds were too fast . +I have used this multiple times on my living room rug . +The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle . +Pinking shears are a necessity for anyone who sews. +Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail. +Even many hours later , my food was still hot enough to be enjoyable. +also, the cost of paper filters can add up, and since this is a one-time investment it's bound to save $$.for my coffee maker, it's a bit large (but i dont have a cuisinart, i have a weird brand, so this may not be common), and this means that the lid is propped up slightly, which menas that the coffee is not as hot as it usually is when it's done. +It's hard to get things out of, too, even with the lifter feature. +We (coonasses) live in Louisiana and love too cook, these pots once seasoned, cook great and last forever ... +When I'm crushing a bunch of garlic, I peel all the pieces except for the last one . +With the cup on the bottom the grater is unstable. +These barnyard covers are excellent and have stayed clean so far after almost 2 months of heavy use. +The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold. +The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. +Easy to ue, big display, count-up feature, loud/long "done" signal.... just the best. +Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds. +The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350 , using an oven thermometer. +Under the motor you can wrap the power cord, which prevents a messy cord. +Got this mainly for our kids . +No bubbling like the ones from my grocery store, they held up, no mess at the end of the day, I threw everything away, and I used 7 slow cookers, if that tells you anything. +My closest experience is with a fifty year old Electrolux . +Will use them every chance I get . +This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. +Either pad will save energy. +I really like this dispenser . +Compared to stainless, iron heats up slowly but keeps the heat much longer . +It also has a scented filter you can use which makes the house smell good. +I suffered for 3 months with it and finally just got tired of it and the awful coffee it made. +I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond . +The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives. +Mine is several years old now and without equivocation it is as clean today as it was when first bought. +My second batch only took 6 hrs and I actually followed the right instructions. +They call it a whole house filtration system , which would lead you to believe that everything you need to install is included, but it's not. +We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed. +I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking . +We keep one in the shower to dry down the tiles after each shower and even though small they pull the water off the tiles just fine. +I love my coffee pot have no complaints about it but the math on the box just did'nt add up- +I spray a little stainless cleaner on a towel and polish it. +The larger bowls are great for many things in the kitchen- -mixing, defrosting, even informal serving . +After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. +It is the best timer I have ever used even though it is very small in size, it is an excellent produce that works very efficiently. +As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself. +I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous. +You need to tip the container more to get over the rubber seal, so you don't have as much control over how much you pour or where it is going.- Bigger measuring cups don't fit .I wanted to use these containers for flour, but I need a cup at a time. +The CDN measured 33 and 211 while the Taylor measured 36 and 190 degrees . +So I saw this online by accident and thought that I should give it to her as a gift. +I've been using this product for six months . +I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious. +Since the handle is round and has no flattened areas, it tends to torque in your hands in certain cases. +I love that these bowls are made in the USA . +Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. +I truly love this pan . +the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa. +After reading tons of reviews (including ones in Cook's Illustrated) I broke down and shelled out the cash for this one. +Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs.

+I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet . +The color , straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard. +The base and fan parts are plastic, and the pole is metal . +I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top. +The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold . +I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers. +It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car , which is great for he drive back and forth. +That was more than ten years ago. +I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine . +The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it. +We bought this tablecloth because we got tired of washing the linen tablecloth every few days. +I have tried a few things with great success (amazing job of doing julienne strips on a zucchini), and other that were complete flops ( just squished a very ripe tomato I tried to slice). +This stone does not leave my oven because I use it so much. +If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars . +One con is that they do not have any other measurement on them, so the one cup only measures one cup ( I do like cups that include smaller measurements inside)The cups come together on a plastic ring , but are easily detachable. +My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?) +We have 5 long haired dogs and a completely carpeted lower floor. +It's worth it to me to use this, even though the charge doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes . +It's made in japan and razor sharp. +I've broken every wine glass in the house. +When I got the knives, I experimented cutting not only steak and chicken breasts (which they cut beautifully) but also Muenster cheese (thin slivers) and tomatoes ( paper-thin slices ). +The 50250 , however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air. +Although I thought the lid would look great and keep dust and water from getting on the rolls, the lid has a hole in the center of it for easy on and off, so it kind of defeats the purpose of protecting the TP and again the lid has the ultra shiny chrome ring around the middle and the thin frosted plastic, so it just looks cheap and not well made. +I was going to order the more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma until I read that USA pans also makes those pans, therefore I ordered these. +It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. +It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp? +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. +I find way fewer " science experiments " in the back of the refrigerator! +Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two. +AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances. +The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. +The more recent ones have better stitching than the earlier ones I bought. +This blender deals with ice in an incredible way, Perfection!The beautiful cookbook that comes with it makes me daydream about some of the tasty sounding recipes and I'm hoping to try some of them out, but first... another tasty beverage made in this powerful blender is in my near future. +I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off . +* I was a tad surprised that it didn't have an actual "toast" setting , but when I put it on bake for about 5 minutes, I get similar results. +My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches . +I already own a Wusthof Silverpoint II 6" cooks knife +The non-stick bottom , although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles. +Over the course of about 14 months, I used this juice about 6 times. +It was a lot less than the one bunk bed organizer advertised and with the safety pins, it works perfectly. +This hand held vacuum cleaner by Dirt Devil gets into tight corners of my home so that I can clean every square inch of my flooring--not to mention the moldings all the way up to the ceilings (as long as I get on a ladder)! +These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars +The dressing cup is plenty big to hold a lot of dressing . +This Toaster Oven does everything it says it does except you can prepare toast better in the toaster . +Most of the other silicone mitts I've tried in the past, are stiff . +I like this pan a lot, and it cooks my steaks to perfection. +The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too. +The slatted rack/shelf on top is nice, wish it were a little bit wider - the larger lids have to stand upright/lean against the wall and can't be laid on the shelf. +Thanks to Against all Grain cookbook by Danielle , I bought this slicer to spiral zucchini into spaghetti noodles. +I am very sure that the 24 oz Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker from Natural Revolution Ltd will not disappoint you. +My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans. +It is useless with ice or frozen fruit . +I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that! +It was shipped to me through Amazon Prime with no problem and was securely packed. +We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical. +My soup bowls are the perfect size and shape for this and therefore, it works perfectly. +This is outstanding cookware and the price makes it a really good value. +I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer. +I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. +After throwing away like my 4th vacuum, I decided to get a Dyson . +Be sure to clean right away and keep in top dishwasher rack away from heat. +While you are screwing in the screws someone else will have to hold the rest of the stand so it doesn't keep falling apart (because the screws weren't tight) . This product looks good when its done , but it should have been easier to put together. +I'm delighted with this coffee grinder and will be ordering a few more for gifts. +but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed " The Beast " soon after its arrival. +Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. +I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord. +I added additional magnets and re-stitched the seams by hand. +I purchased a set of 16 and have one left. +These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect, mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them. You get to make the size you need, not what's available in the stores that zip. +"I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it just doesn't have as many options as you might expect to see in a chair in this price range . +I have a black one that came with accessories-- dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod . +I had previously purchasedEureka Enviro Hard-Surface Floor Steamer,313Aand have used it for several months, however it was pretty limited in its cleaning abilities , so I was very excited to try out thisBlack & Decker BDH1800SM Handheld Steamer. +About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store . +I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. +Then I can easily take my veggie scraps to the compost bin , rinse the basket, and proceed to chopping my veggies. +I didn't want to splurge on a wooden wine rack so I decided to try four of these instead (buy 3 get 1 free deal from Amazon seemed like great value). +Very happy with my Roomba 560 . +I had very bad experiences with those horrid cordless Dirt Devils , which lacked power and waste space. +Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil. +I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting. +Will update if this changes, but great deal and no problems. +if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp) . +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +I swore years ago that I would NEVER buy another Euro-Pro product because they are all JUNK . +I charged the battery as soon as I received it, and I have used it almost every night for 2 weeks and just had to re-charge the battery yesterday. +They handle the dishwasher just fine . +The first time I used it, the waffles were a beautiful golden brown . +It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it. +It also is a great way to " refresh " otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again. +Much like all of the reviews we read before purchasing, we experience that the robot takes its own path appearing erratic; however, it cleans the entire floor . +This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes . +I have been trying unsuccessfully to get information from the manufacturer about this juicer. +My only gripe (and it is a minor gripe) is that the unit is not dishwasher safe and is a bit tedious to clean. +it actually keeps drinks hot or cold . +It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it). +I was able to put a razor sharp edge on everything from a 30 year old chinese cleaver to my wife's expensive Henkels to a set of as-seen-on-tv "never needs sharpening" knives using this steel. +Good Luck9/21/13 after extensive use it has not warped and it's been through some heavy usage.11/25/13 and it will warp, lots of usage and it is warped, very disappointing. +Also, the flat bottom piece with the handle is plastic - which, I was at first, not happy about, but it makes a much 'softer landing' onto the top of a cup or a pot and there are tiny tabs underneath that prevent it from sliding sideways off the cup/pot. +The flap that overhangs the cup wicks the water out of the K'cup when the machine applies water pressure and the coffee leaks over the side of the cup and all through the machine. +I use it every day in the summer and spring . +The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. +The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun. +Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. +First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. +The NuWave's heating element is a true infrared carbon heat element which is thick and only glows a little which I can tell will last for a long time. +A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can. +I also bought the potato peeler , both work great! +This double curved shower rod looks amazing . +It's so strong I had to hold it above my stairs because the suction was making it stick to the wood. +My kitties have clawed it a few times and it looks a little worn . +The shower curtain is translucent, but I put a black liner behind it. +I decided to gift this to my mother this week +but I have a problem with the amazon rating system . +a 1 year warranty) in the long run, +I bought this Lodge, Grill / Griddle expressly for use on a Coleman stove. +I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles . +The spatula is a little stiff and the labels for the measurements on the measuring spoons and cup are hard to read. +Unfortunately, the choice of covers locally is slim . +The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. +Now, I have only tile ,and low pile carpet. +Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!) +On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for. +Have two of the older 02 cool rechargeable fans in which the rechargeable batteries stopped working after 3 months (apparently overcharged!) +I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and everything turned out just perfect . +One suggestion though, put it on a rubber mat , though it has feet on it, slicer tends to slide on my granite. +I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the " whipping attachment ," but I don't see it as a problem. +The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection. +These are heavy , not all that smooth and small, the bottom sheet fit nice and tight, but one of the corners had a hole in it. +It blends just as nicely as the ~$100 Cuisinart I previously had, but it is nothing close to the Vitamix 5200 it is temporarily replacing. +In fact, I think the coffee it makes, if you follow the directions and pour the water slowly, makes much better coffee than a French press . +They are heavy little units but work exceptionally well for back-up heat or when you don't want to run the central unit. +I've been using the dishwasher with electrasol all in 1 gel packs , no rust or stains using the heated dry cycle. +Ok, so 'Thermos' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - but this little container reminds us once again of how Thermos got to be the standard. +I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. +I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. +They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. +I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years. +Upon the first few uses, the machine constantly leaked water into the tray , AND, even more scary, is the fact that the machine turned ITSELF ON even when the power switch was OFF! +This cup in my home reminds me of grandma's cup at the pump . +It works great with soy milk too. +Have had no problems with the suction cups slipping at all. +I love Circulon pots and pans and this new addition to my kitchen is a sure keeper. +However, if you let the water sit in it for a couple of days, there is a tiny rubbery taste .I rcvd a sample for review. +They holes for the rack bar to go through are small. +I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can, but alas I did not just once but twice! +The bad thing is the coating wears off. +Over a year's use the rattle became noisier and noisier. +I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch. +Would have felt lost and had sore arms without it) and it's in storage, so I bought this one a few weeks ago I'm back, baby, I'm back!So far, I've only used it for cakes, cookies, etc. haven't tried any of the attachments, that will be soon. +The difference is like driving a Rolls Royce vs. a Dodge Neon . +I had it one month and was back online to go back to the Braun. +I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. +We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead. +I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes , super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast. +Anything smaller is a disaster (especially if you are using cheese)When using 10 inch tortillas, this quesdilla maker seals the edges when you close and lock the lid, and makes little pocket triangles. +Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. +It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. +I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too. +A 2 liter bottle of club soda goes for .99 +I enjoy using this vacuum . +They're each 8 gallons , for a total of 16. +Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different +The only reasons I keep this over an electric version is that I appreciate anything that reduces energy usage and I don't like having extra wires around , especially in the kitchen. +I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected . +Pulse is the best option- when on ON - so fast ,perhaps too fast. +I bought the Bodum Chambord 4 c. for my office and the Frieling 17 oz. +Let me preface this review by saying that I did receive this french press for free in exchange for my honest appraisal of this product. +It's pretty heavy , which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward. +I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. +Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try. +This fan literally vibrates itself off the desk and falls over. +Open the lid, put desired amount of loose leaf tea (or ground coffee ) in, pour hot water in (I use my Keurig machine, without a KCup) seep for appropriate amount of time and then (and this is the best part), put the Ingenuitea over a coffee mug and press it down a bit. +The last one which I'd replaced, in about 30 years, I believe, once, was through Sharper Image - no more can it be found anywhere unfortunately - believe me +All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. +The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did! +I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through. +The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine. +The screen you see near the top is to keep the carbon inside the filter and not let it float out into the unfiltered water section. +I eat a plant-based diet , which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables. +I wouldn't recommend leaving it in a hot pot or pan other than to work your food... +My cheapie 10 year old toaster finally stopped staying down on one side. +I got this pot because I was tired of using 5 different dishes to make stock . +It fit beautifully and the remarkable job it did on recent camping trips surprised everyone who enjoyed the end products. +Have used only the ten inch - one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. +I expect to update this review later. +You see, we don't have any kids in the house anymore (not unless they come home from college !).I told him to wait and see.... +The parts are easy to take apart and assemble +My husband (an allergist) has recently become very allergic to the cats . +I took two of the bags on vacation with me last year and felt none of the usual embarrassment at laundry time when I had to mix my clothes with those of my host family. +I have never baked with Silicone before, and was curious to see how well it does. +Once found it will make a very good item to donate , and I would rate this as a 'want' as opposed to a 'need'. +What an improvement over using a microwave which totally deletes the taste of pizza. +I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan. +With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. +You do have to watch the dates on the milk containers. +Recently received it and used it three times so far. +I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals . +I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders . +These are very simple stylish tough glasses .. +Coffee would be super simple too as the permanent filter is a sweet plus. +I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. +I have use the vita mix in the blend tec I've used the Breville Hemisphere and a few others, I honestly wasn't impressed with the blend tec , the Breville wihemisphere was one of the better ones and of course the vita mix. +I love my Le Parfait jars . +Some people have express problems with the lid . +The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot! +Before buying these gorgeous glasses, I read a lot of reviews about how the glasses broke so easily and I just want to say that those glasses had to have been from a bad batch. +If you work in the medical industry and are that guy/girl in the office and you make yourself laugh harder than most interaction with other living things you have already purchased this mug and are only looking at prior purchases on Amazon to make yourself feel better about all the money you spent since you signed up for Prime and went on a binge of cheap crap you would never pay for in the store but since you saw it here for a few bucks... +It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale. +Can't see inside the hopper after first couple of uses. +It is inexpensive so I was worried, but I shouldn't have been. +Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind. +This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is .It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. +I have the smaller (4.5 L) and larger (30L) Simple Human trash cans, an wanted something in between that would hold smells in well. +We've had the old kind of waffle maker and the first waffle was always a throw away. +I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. They obviously don't know how to weld two pieces of metal. +Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars . +The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control. +It's a great vacuum for someone who has heavy duty cleaning needs . +Tip: Don't let the bottom of the egg rest on your little finger , the little finger should also encircle the egg. +I received this item about 6 months ago , and my fault, did not try it right away.... +I like having the smaller, more flexible brushes that came with the old scrubber. +Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again. +I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment. +I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. +On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble. +I had high hopes for this little oven as I am a widow and it seemed like the perfect appliance for one person . +I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year , and it still looks brand new. +Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside. +It doesn't get hot from boiling product due to it's two layer construction, is easy to clean with a spatula to get the last bit into a jar, blackberry juice did not stain it, and does keep jar tops clean if the 'operator' is able to set it into the next jar without bumping the top of the jar (but it sure wasn't as bad as my very old funnel). +It kept my food warm for a loooong time , and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime. +The heater is small, and it doesn't put out many BTU's, but I think it will be adequate for me needs, and it is small enough for me to put it under the equipment cover without it being a fire hazard . +It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products. +The push button drain feature on the Kuhn Rikon worked well for me but the locking drain feature never worked well and quickly broke. +I've always made my own yoghurt the old fashioned way for years. +The clean up is the best part with this. +Filter is good for 100 gallons of water.*The unit measures 11" high and is about 7 1/4" around, so counter top space might be an issue in smaller kitchens.*The colorful caps unscrew from the bottles but are not detachable.*Replacement filters run about $10 to $14 plus shipping. +You are short-changing the complex flavors that only hot water can extract. +My only gripe is the price . +I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. +This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. +If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. +However, when it comes to camping and going to the beach they are perfect for snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever! We do not travel without one or two in the car anymore! +You have to hold down the button for what feels like a minute before you actually can .These are minor gripes though, and as a result I give it a solid 4 stars. +Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high , it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. +you have to take the eggs out individually and put them in this container. +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +After the pan cools I wash it with warm, soapy water then towel dry. +12 minutes of microwave time . +As with another reviewer, the temperature was much lower than my favorite old Cuisinart which broke down after many years of daily-plus use, and the coffee cooled down in my cup before I was even halfway finished with it. +I love that this timer can countdown from a specific number of minutes/seconds and also it can time how long something takes . +I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. +I would have expected them to be the same since both are products of " Harold Imports ". +It seems to be high-quality wood , and looks very nice in the drawer. +I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR . +I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base . +It’s labeled and being sold as a “slow cooker,” but if you only think of it as a slow cooker you’re missing the big picture. +Leaving very little space for the product meaning that you have to refill it pretty regularly .2. +We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed . +I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around. +This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner. +I have limited counter space in my apartment so it is a plus to be able to easily trash peelings, packaging etc while I am cooking. +For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now. +With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing. +This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner . +I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). +so thanks lodge I live for cast iron now! +We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. +This set of coasters ended up being pretty useless for us. +They fold up well, with the panels in the bottoms and the handles inside the bags. +If I could send it back I would . +I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes . +It simply makes baking easy and fun . +Personally, I have had absolutely no difficulties in getting even the most recalcitrant frozen deserts to cry uncle when confronted with this scoop - the jackhammer of ice cream scoops. +Then, after grinding about two cups of beans (we keep a few days worth of the ground beans in an airtight container), it completely stopped working. +I think a little inferior workmanship . +use it in many places instead of foil , its a great product. +Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company (" BuyHappier "), I don't think I will be unhappy at all. +So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake . +Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces . +I've had a $600+ set of Wusthof Classic knives for five years and had been using the sharpening steel that came with the set. +I am pleased with the Omron scale. +can thrill a person, this paper towel holder is as exciting as any paper towel holder can be! +Havent tried it on bagels yet, so perhaps that setting will be better for thicker, ie: closer to the element cooking. +I like the colors ( pink and yellow on a light tan background ) +Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen !!

This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. +I gave it only 4 stars because of a potential safety issue - the second time I used this mixer I forgot to plug it in - I'd pushed the ON button & the speed button before I realized that it wasn't plugged in & when I plugged it in the mixer immediately began to run (spattering cake batter everywhere!). +The quality of the mesh seems cheap and I'm almost afraid it's some kind of cheap, dangerous metal and not something safe to be steeping in hot water. +A BROWN MILK CASE ! +I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece every couple hours because some areas dry much mroe quickly. +Make sure you measure the storage shelves and compare it to the measurements of the bin to get the one that best suits your needs. +In 2006, I bought the older version of this heater from Gaiam . +I have these pie plates Pyrex Easy Grab 9-1/2-Inch Pie Plateand because of the easy grab lip +I have the CPT-180 four-slice toaster. +However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. +If you want loud get the CDN TM4 Count Down Big Digit timer . +I went looking for a replacement for a conventional Mr. Coffee type maker . +It died while making cookie dough . +I have a very teeny kitchen and about 3 cubic feet of counter space. +No dents, chips, discolorations. +I rarely use the second hook but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. +The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water) . +We usually prefer to buy candy already made but with this Freshware candy mold , creativity in the kitchen is more commonplace than before. +It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charged seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging. +The vacuum is lightweight compared to my old Hoover WindTunnel, and lighter than my Bissell and Shark Professional that I tried in the same price range. +Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. +This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. +I don't think being green necessarily has to equate to spending lots of money and at $50 I think that is expensive for what I have ended up utilizing this set for. +It is not fixable as the cheap plastic broke off. +But it does keep drinks colder/hotter than a regular cup. +But it seems to me a can opener needs to be washed when the juice from the can gets on the blade . +On the plus side, I used it for at least an hour the first time without having any loss of power from the battery. +But on the slim chance that it could work, I was willing to give it a go because I absolutely loathe cooking pasta . +This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan. +I have lots of fiesta in various colors but did not have this platter , now I do. +One thing to keep in mind is that the more liquid you have in it the better it keeps warm.edit:I am revising this review from 5 stars to 3 because the lid leaks when pouring, randomly but often. +The recipe was for 3 and a half hours . +Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours , acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. +If you have children please be careful as THEY DO GET HOT! The coils get hot to the touch , enough to burn a child. +I am going to keep it and do like it very much! +The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. +It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book. +He just steps right over it and I've got to run it out like an Olympic track star when I hear the mail truck come around the corner. +But the rubber seems to lose some of its filling power over time and doesn't make a tight seal, as I found out when the cork that was sealed slipped out of a red wine bottle on its side . +Hard water could require more maintenance than I find needed. +We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. +I'll keep looking for an electric knife with a more powerful motor . +The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. +I have now tried it a few days on all sorts of settings and positions in a bedroom ( 14x18ft ) and the fan has very little cooling effect. +Good things: It is pretty, and I think stays cleaner than a stainless steel kettle , both inside and outside. +No leaking issues either. +The idea to store the pepper shaker in the salt shaker is great. +After i finished using it, i took a swiffer pad and went over the entire area again and was surprised at how little the vacuum left behind . +Maybe whoever sent it like that knew the customer would probably keep the damaged item as long as it wasn't TOO damamged, so sent it anyway - I dunno - but it's unsatisfactory . +Tried it with a bag of blueberries that had been in the freezer and got 2 - 8 oz. bottles of juice out of that. +It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. +but I wasn't too thrilled with having to buy K-cups , I don't mind it, there are quite a few +I particularly like it that the pepper comes out the top rather than the bottom. +The second place can opener goes to 4 Peaks Tech , for their unit. +12/03/2011: One exception added to the cleaning / WHITE develops a severe scorching yellow to the OUTSIDE edges of top cover. +I was concerned that cleanup might be a problem, but it was really easy to clean with a soft dish brush and a little soap , just be careful when cleaning the frother. \ No newline at end of file
