Consequently, I am thinking of replacing my KitchenAid with the Cuisinart. +Love the vented glass lids and coated handles . +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). +This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. +I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. +The size of this screen fits all my skillets. Heavy enough to stay put on the skillets. +Generally pretty easy to put together, sometimes the shelves get a bit stuck but you can take off black liner and it will go in then. +When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. +Pros:--Designed for different sized citrus--Measuring Cup ( 1 cup )--Easy to clean, assemble - and the lids snap in place and stay in place. +It works great for drying fresh cut pasta doe. +Yes, it's small , we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. +I eagerly tried to make a batch of vanilla ice cream . +It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). +a cooling rack , the bottoms hardened up within a minute or two. +Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. +I'm a big fan of Cuisinart cooking products, There pots and pans are top notch, and these cooking utensils are no exception. +Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. +For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a 3.5. +I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking , but I'm very glad I did. +In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up . +After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house, I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. +It has been WONDERFUL! I feel so much better.I was hesitant about buying a $40 humidifier when I could get a Vick's hot steam from Walgreens for $12. +Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter. +This is a 5 cup unit . +We've been using this product all Summer , with great results. +I throw out the basket as soon as I open the box and fry food directly in the fryer without the basket. +Faster than a microwave, this kettle brings water to a boil so quickly, you'll be amazed. +Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer +I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine . +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. +BEWARE that the higher profile air mattresses allow more body heat to escape than the low profile, so be sure to insulate with blankets under you as well as over you if you are sleeping in cold conditions. +It took my husband and I about half an hour , and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. +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. +The shape of the base seems to be the problem. +My wife searched for a long time, did a lot of reading, took customer reviews from all over the internet into consideration and finally decided on this Cuisinart set. +I ordered it on a Friday and it arrived by Fedex Tuesday. +This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson ,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz..... +The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss). +I put my boots on the top rack because that's the only place they could fit . +It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach ! +but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson , which got nicknamed "The Beast" soon after its arrival. +I did used a non stick spray (Pam ) in them so that might make a difference. +I loved the 20 oz . +If you want to cook for two or three you might want a smaller model because this baby only works good if it is at least a third full . +I hate sweeping but enjoyed using this little vacuum . +the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room. +If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars. +They seem ideally suited for what they are designed for. +I've had these dishes for the past 15 years. +The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked . +I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband . +I have a very similar one, but it's about 20 years old. +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 . +Well I attempted to fix it myself thinking any product of this type would have an inline fuse . +I've used it for cookies , biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! +When I received this set, I was surprised to learn that the manufacturer does not recommend using them on ceramic or glass top stoves. +There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. +It's also pretty quiet for a vacuum and my dog who is terrified of the regular vacuum is not bothered by this at all. +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... +It's not really non-stick because the eggs won't easily slide off the pan like they would from a good new non-stick pan, but it's much much better compared w/ my stainless steel skillets. +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. +In comes a present of this specific 3 way timer - since the onset and receipt of this - it has had issues - I've changed batteries each time thinking perhaps that was the issue. +have had this beautiful skillet for about a month now and at first food just slid off it amazingly well but even in such a short period of time it has lost its non-stick quality and now requires scraping when trying to remove food. +Plus we have dogs and I have to put them where the dogs can't get to them. +Very heavy glass, full glass stopper (no plastic) and Really good QualityBormioli Rocco Capitol Decanter -2nd +It's a 5 ply, and the bottom is HEAVY. +intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. +It's a very nice holder - not too big and not too small. +This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. +For that reason I changed from 5 stars to 4 stars . +The slots aren't super deep that you need to get a pair of tongs to get your stuff out but they're plenty big enough to fit bagels and my homemade bread (which also didn't fit into my old toaster).My only complaint is...the power cord comes out of the front corner of the toaster and I think is pretty short. +As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months. +Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) +The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. +I decided that I would buy another set for a queen bed in my guest room . +It's pretty heavy , which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward. +I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive, lightweight and work just great with cotton candy. +I sent it back the next day. Do not waste your money. +the chilling panel hugs the bottle so tighly it is a little difficult removing it . +I also have had people who are skinny and they have said it was the most comfortable folding chair they have sat in too. +Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack . +I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. +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. +The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. +I have a mandolin for cutting up food , but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle. +Good for measuring cold as well as heat . +So I decided it was time to be a grown-up and buy one that cost more but would last longer. +I use a larger 13 1/2 " to do the bacon. +one thing I don't like about this machine is that the bottom layer of yogurt turns out burnt . +A friend has a pretty pricey Capresso and I've coveted it for years. +I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders . +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. +The shelf itself is light colored wood and will stain easily if you let it. +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. +I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time. +I kept looking at them for about a year until I saw the remanufactured version on Amazon at a more reasonable price than I had seen elsewhere. +On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut. +Tested tap water was 184 . +The only minor difficulty in in removing the bottle from the cooling container . +They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome . +Joseph, MI 49085-0218For any toll free number for any business call: 1-800-555-1212 (powered by AT&T;) If I ever find a use for the shield this low rating will be changed. +This Zojirushi is becoming my favorite ! +I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip. +This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. +It also has a hole in the handle which is perfect for hanging on a rack. +I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. +The part of the pump where the soap actually comes out falls out on a weekly basis. +The handles feel good , have a nice 'weight', and work well. +Granted, this was about 10 years ago . +I bought this bread machine because I was really tired of buying bread at the store that listed ingredients on the bag that were about as long as the white pages. +I bake all of our own bread and the loaves turn out perfectly every time. +Most of the other silicone mitts I've tried in the past, are stiff . +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 . +It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago .The +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. +The dough that squeezed out actually baked on the stone and was like eating crust when I tried a little taste (not too bad, actually).With the bread completely baked, the lid slid off with no problem even though it was under a bit of pressure from my overloading. +Popit Little Big Box was a perfect choice. +My husband put a strap on it too +I made scrambled eggs and they did NOT stick. +I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. +The height allows for a somewhat narrower width which helps in my relatively small kitchen. +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. +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) +Its really like you received a "build it yourself project kit" with lots and lots of bitty pieces to assemble You can expect to spend many hours to build your own etagere cabinet. +This one is great for stable use, but I don't recommend it for travel . +I am an avid sewer , so I really have to have a good ironing board. +Pair it with a bucket heater or a crockpot with a dial and you're good to go. +It wasn't too difficult to assemble, no tools . +It is a hassle to install the beaters... and worse is that they are held in place (somewhat) by a inner plastic ring . +But so far, these pillows are great. +I bought this product to carry hot water to warm my baby's bottle while I'm out since portable bottle warmer options are pretty sad. +So, ever week or so I can clean off all the accumulated slime and algae in the base and the outside surfaces of the thank, but the inside surfaces of the thank go uncleaned. +I'm a little concerned about how long the wooden parts will last, they are not varnished, but for now, I'm happy I have a place for my soap, and don't have to worry about getting my sinks messy.***UPDATE***I've only had them a few months and now I have another soap problem, some of the slats have come unglued . +But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers. +We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun!

+I just ordered another to support my hip . +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. +The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it makes after it has quit perking .It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... +It has never picked up smells or colors .Great, great kitchen tool. +I've been using this frying pan for a few months. +Batteries are included , by the way. +until i bought this, i was hand-mincing garlic with a santoku-style knife, and though i love putting garlic in my food, it was so time-consuming that i didnt really want to use minced garlic anymore :S then i remembered the garlic press my mom had while i was growing up, more rounded than this one and with a pivoting hammer, but this one works very well too. +This is the best lil heater ever as it is also quiet and the light on top lets you know that it is plugged in or 'on'. +I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. +It is a little tricky catching all the corn , and it takes some time to get used to how it pops and how long it takes. +Granite counters have taken a toll on my glassware and so, being down to a mis-matched 6 or so remaining, I was torn between plastic ( cheesy ) +The other complaint I have is the same as I have with Butterfly Meadow plates (which is why I'm not buying them) -- the pretty pictures of flowers and butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) +I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe .I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective. +The color is a little darker than I was looking for +Everything has held up well so far. +A 2 liter bottle of club soda goes for .99 +I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. +The spoon part is actually closer to a spatula . +We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun!

I was still cheating my portions !!! +Yes, it takes a minute to dump the grounds and clean the pot. It's more than worth it. +If you like heavy, quality feeling glassware , these are a fab deal! +The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. +The wood one is too thick and although its tapered nicely to retrieve the pies it usually has a problem placing the pie on the Stone . +I frequently eat in front of the TV so I have them on a tray right by the sofa where they are convenient. +But on the negative side, the safety switch which shuts it off when you don't keep steady pressure on the on/off switch is maddening! +No it's not thick, but it is stainless and it's easy to clean. Pop it into dishwasher and it looks new again. Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. +I've been using my hotplate daily for 14 months now. +Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. +I bought this oven 7 years ago at Macy's not knowing how it will perform and it just died on me this weekend. +Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. +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. +The best part is, its plastic . +I've only had this for about a week , but I absolutely love it. +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 makes holding the grater much more comfortable .But, other than that this grater is actually really annoying. +I make 5 cups every day (regular mug and mug to go). +(Well, except for that massive size 19 circ , which wouldn't fit in a bag this size...) +The package recommended that I lightly dust the mold with cornstarch but I used powdered sugar instead, with great results . +I just trim the ends off of each clove and roll it around briefly in the tube. +Cleaning has been a problem with these units before; but the newest edition seems to have made the process easier. +I bought one for my wife last year, now I bought one for my granddaughter. +I especially like how well it works in the bathroom . +2 Buddies +One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF!

I dunno - but it's unsatisfactory . +For the price, it's pretty darn good and looks great in our bedroom supporting our flat screen :) +The quit pattern and magnets are not the best but for what I was using it for it works. +For example, you do have to pour in the base quickly and start stirring quickly, or it may freeze in place . +The other one is for people who like to lie their head flat, witha little fluff . +This blender is rather loud but expected. +The rim is comfortable to drink from.- No nooks and crannies on the inside to make cleaning difficult.- The entire bottom half is stainless steel , so my food is not in constant contact with plastic. +The handles are great and do not get ouch hot. +Wife bought this a long time ago .I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing. +This one is corded , and if I were to replace it, I might get a cordless... but this one shows no signs of "getting tired" and I use it a lot. +These are gorgeous . +Doesn't seem to burn the coffee when left on the burner for several hours. +Returned it & got another KitchenAid. +Scoops up my diced onions and gets them all. +I am still debating if I like it the full it-costs- 4-times-as-much more, but the very fact that I can't make up my mind (factoring in that cost) tells me how very good the GelPro is. +Moreover, it is large enough to hold more than a few items . +I got this shower curtain to match my Audrey's Garden accessories that I bought on clearance at BBB several years ago. +Two things came to our attention after getting this out of its bag, the pattern looks great and the comforter is not as soft as we expected (based on prior experiences of course)For the price, you cannot go wrong with this set, the Queen size (which we ordered) includes the fitted sheet, flat sheet, the comforter, 2 pillowcases, and 2 shams. +I bought this to test out induction cooking before purchasing an induction range top. +I love the ring that holds the bags, I have never had one slip off. +I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother. +I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. +This item has the angled head so it gets into corners very nicely which I love. +One suggestion though, put it on a rubber mat , though it has feet on it, slicer tends to slide on my granite. +She was making me some potatoes in the over and had one of these liners on the baking sheet. +The Miele Capricorn with the 236 power-nozzle is the best way to win the never ending battle of cleaning pet hair. +My husband loves high quality irons. +We have these for our younger kids who don't eat enough to warrant using a full-size dinner plate (or for dessert or toast in the morning for grown ups). +Even though it's plastic, it seems durable , in addition to being dishwasher safe. +Like my other press, the plunger has a two part filtration system , they rinse off well for cleaning and make it easy to stay tidy (I'm a terrible housekeeper and easy to clean kitchen tools are a huge bonus in my mind). +This electric kettle replaced an older model that has worked for 4 years , until the on-off switch became unreliable. +When we received this, it was rolled up and felt hard as a rock . +ORIGINAL REVIEW:This knife IS sharper than most in its price range, but for cutting blocks of cheese I am not seeing any breath-taking difference from my humble 6" utility knife or 8" chef's knife. +This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf . +This one is great . +The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot . +an excellent purchase. +I grabbed these mostly because I had the similar circulon pots and pans for couple years and was very pleased with how well the heat distributed but mostly to be honest with easy to clean, non stickiness of these. +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. +In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body , and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. +Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion. +Would recommend using rechargeable batteries or you'll be buying six AAAs every month. +I was surprised to learn that it came with ZERO filters . +I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far . +This tea set provides the artistic design and fine quality that you would expect from a set in this price range, and also delivers as a very sturdy set that you can use every day . +We keep it in our kitchen . +I bought this knife after reading an America's Test Kitchen review...was a little skeptical as it was so relatively inexpensive but it's great! +I like the way that the Sistema Klip system holds the tops on the containers. +The bottoms never warp so it's always even heating, no wolbbling on the burner, food doesn't run to one edge. +It replaces one of those scoops with the liquid in the handle and the OXO scoop put that one to shame. +It's hard to get things out of, too, even with the lifter feature. +So now I have modified my review to be a 1 star . +a silicone pastr brush . +It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. +The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. +Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half -

The fries were far tastier than a baking sheet, and far easier and less greasy than a fryer. +I like that this doesn't leave shavings and paper shreds along the top to contaminate the food . +If you've never used a French press , you might want to give it a try. +I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor. +I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts. +Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing . +One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close. +Gotta send this back , maybe if you buy one, you'll have better luck, but I'm not taking the chance. +The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge. +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. +Weak tea'' only happens when you don't use enough teabags . +Thank you so much Amazon.com for the great price, good value and prompt delivery . +The Egg Genie changed all that - boiling eggs of any consistency is easy and mostly successful. +I bought one for myself and loved it so much I purchased more for my employees for xmas . +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +Not sure why another reviewer is having problems, but we aren't at all(maybe they should use good quality espresso). +so you use a little oil and wipe it down both sides after scrubbing down with water and a good nylon bristle brush .Small thing to remember but it didn't occur to me until I used it. +I have had 3 or 4 kettles in the last couple of years. +I've washed it once , and put it through the dryer. +I started looking at the rentals and was shocked that they were about $150 - $200 to rent. +This is a great 3qt saucepan !

+Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time . +She likes the vacumn and recently told me she needed some more bags but be sure to get the real Hoover Pleated HEPAY bags whatever they are. +My old wooden drying rack gave up the ghost after 20 years of service. +I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly . +THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON .I love Bodum Coffee Presses . +After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. +I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo. +This mold is also tapered so it is wider on top than the bottom. +Perhaps I have been brainwashed into believing that the method of brewing coffee influences flavor, but I have been using a cone style filter for most of my adult life and was shocked when I opened this coffee maker and discovered it had a cup-style filter (not mentioned anywhere I could see in the advertisements for it). +My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. +I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy . +I don't really have a small enough spoon to get in the grinder basin so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press. +I was in desperate need of a can opener , and this little guy saved the day. +It picked up three times the moisture from the carpet than the Eureka. +The size is great and for cold drinks it may be better. +It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker , which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago. +I feel that any over tightening will crack the thin plastic. +This cocktail muddler will look nice on a bar, with a heavy brushed-finish stainless steel handle that is tapered for comfort, and a solid nylon head with pyramidal teeth that won't scratch glass. +My family loves to take our dinner in the living room and watch a good movie together, but we have had problems and the Table Mate has helped to sovle them. +Consequently this product gets used when only one cup serving is desired . +I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. +Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3 , should've just bought a new coffee maker. +I put my dryer sheets and detergent at the bottom of the hamper, however, because the hamper isn't heavy enough by itself to hold up if there are only a few pieces of clothing in the hamper with the detergent and dryer sheets on the side pocket. +Colored, four inch, four blade metal fans that sure do look like those shown in this listing are sold at my local flea market for $7. +Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy. +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. +Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall. +First, it holds twice as much water. +I bought this because I thought it would be worth it to get the knife block off of the counter . +The water boils quickly, the kettle is stylish and easy to clean, the filter is removable for cleaning of hard water deposits, and replaceable, AND the pour spout is wide and offers very little spillage. +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. +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. +It held a variety of dishes and kept them cold for several hours. I put just 1 large bag of ice in the boat. +I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice . +I have sheet vinyl throughout the house due to a wheelchair bound family member so use it daily. +With just the two of us to cook for, a countertop oven is more energy efficient than heating up the a large oven just to bake two potatoes and roast a dozen spears of asparagus . +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. +It won't take anything larger than a standard 12 oz can. +I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans . +I bought the Royal Hotel 800 thread count king size duvet cover which fit perfectly with this king size insert. +This drinking glass is perfect for all the dorky , uncool cup drinkers out there... of which I may categorize myself as! +Once I got it assembled , it worked just fine. +If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars . +I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. +Priced right , works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. +Once or twice a year you take out the heppa sponge and wash it in soap and water. +I have an electric tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France +I made my own ground beef burgers with bacon ...definitely good and you know whats in it. +If you compare to most other pillows on the market, you'll be very happy. +I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon . +This is just your basic, cheap , hecho in China colander. +It does sit a little higher than your average bed, but since we're using it without a box spring it is the perfect hight. +These are great stands for the low price I paid. +and I had it for years , but I could never find one like this in any of the stores, I didn't like the ones they sold so I just kept on using my old one, then I found this one on Amazon and I immediately ordered this one since this was exactly what I wanted. +I keep a strip in the medicine cabinet to hold the used razor blade I use to scrape paint and clean my glass top range when my cooking isn't quite up to par It is worth the trouble for me not to have to worry about little hands coming across them. +The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. +I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. +I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. +They were soft and absorbent . +I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent . +Buy the adapter that goes with it. +If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... +Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. +I'm sure I use one or the other at least every day . +It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. +This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others. +I just use BarKeepers Friend and it restores the finish. +I've tried the traditional wood , the one offered by Epicurian and this one. +The can crusher works like a charm though, doesn't quite squish the cans as flat as the old stomp method but it does reduce them at least by half. +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 . +I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. +I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty . +10 GOT IT ABOUT 15 -just got around to using it because I'v been waiting to buy tea pot for boiling water-I wanted to make the pot +but I can only give it three stars because it starts to discolor within the first week of using it and no method of cleaning can restore its beautiful, original, clear quality. +The Big Boss Pro Steam is truly a powerful iron for those cotton shirts and even bed sheets you may not want to throw in the dryer. +However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches , so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins. +You used to be able to find folding racks like this at the local hardware store, even the grocery store , but those days are gone here in that retail desert between the Hudson and the west coast. +However, I saw this had good reviews so I put it on my "Christmas list" and someone bought it for me. +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. +I no longer have to drink my coffee with a straw on a bad day! +These work really well for muffins and cupcakes . +It does not take up too much counter space , which is a huge plus. +I bought a gallon jug of white vinegar and I spent about an hour or two flushing the machine with pure vinegar. +I loved the 20 oz . +Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs ? +Cotton washcloths-- 4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. +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! +And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it .Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. +I've been buying griddles here and there wasting my money until I ran across this. +It will last forever and when you die, your kids may fight over it. +Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it. +I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. +I think these scissors are OK for the price( $20 July 2013). +But I don't find that it cooks the muffins as nicely as in the oven, the bottoms tend to be rather hard and I find the muffin comes out "denser" if you will than normally. +Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back. +i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. +I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman. +I always preheat any thermos with boiling water and put the cap on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before putting hot coffee in. +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. +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. +but then we smoke and grill all the time +Unfortunately, this item has turned out to be yet another example of the poor quality and workmanship that has become the current standard. +I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't vouch for its long-term durability. +It's a beater, one of the ones that normally comes with a newly purchased KitchenAid Mixer (ours was a KSM-150). +Researched a dozen mixers, biggest complaint was that slow speeds were too fast . +It takes a lot of effort to push the cubes out , and you invariably end up pushing out more than you actually wanted because it's still a big, single-piece tray. +I bought this not for my kid's lunch , but as an ice pack for my head. +If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress . +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. +I have used a couple of salt grinders, and they all gave up the ghost before a year went by. +And it's the same thing as the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener , just modified to be kitchen-friendly. +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. +The rice cooker can cook enough rice for 4 people at once, which is enough for a single gal like me. +The wood was already chipped and appears like it won't last long (compared to a typical box spring). +After its self-cleaning HEPA filter clogging and quit working for the fourth time, it went in the recycling bin and I immediately went and picked up the Hoover healthy home based on the reviews I read here. +Unfortunately, while this mold may be suitable for cold-molding, I can't consider it suitable for baking .Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell. +Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time . +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 . +The pan leaves authentic grill marks on the food. +It is a small set , but the price reflects that. +After I had it for a few months, the planks began to separate on one side . +When I was using this thermometer I tried to make it secure onto my pot, but it fell off my pot 3 times , and I almost burn myself when it fell. +We drink it all in at least 2DAYS . +My son is very into being a "big boy" and definitely feels like one with his new Thomas lunchbox. +I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole . +I ordered this French press because I wanted to take my drip coffee maker off the countertop to make way for an espresso machine and bean grinder. +As an oven it might be unusable for most people. +The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. +They are pretty sturdy and I feel confident placing heavier objects in them . +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. +The problem I have with this is that there's something frustratingly addictive about playing with the fan speeds and watching the lights! +It works great with soy milk too. +It is very well made, has a shiny chrome finish which, coordinates beautifully with my stainless steel kitchen appliances, and is very pretty to look at . +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. +I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on . +I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. +My mom used to swear by those carpet cleaners you rent from the super market . +The peppermill does come with a lifetime warranty and Olde Thompson has replaced it, without question, every time the gears have stripped out. +This grater is so fast and easy to use and since its stainless steel is cleans up with a snap. +I bought both the Bambu Kitchen Fork and the Cephalon Nylon Fork a year ago, both for use with non-stick kitchen pans. +Took it camping once and it was nice to actually take the keg while I was swimming in the lake and the flip top prevented any splashes of lake water from getting into my drink .. plus the bottle opener! +You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. +Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use. +Assembly can be a bit irritating, though not really difficult. +The battery life is shorter than I would like, but nothing like some reviews I've read here.3. +I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning . +I was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but +I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience . +All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle. +I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was. +It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. +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. +Although it is fairly large, it is easy to keep on top of my fridge , as it is very lightweight but sturdy. +After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam , but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. +The only problem is that they don't last long and I'm constantly having to replace it. I wish they made one that was a bit more durable. +So I bought this thinking that it would work with any liquid soap with similar viscosity . +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'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people . +There are plenty of loose tea infusers, plain old stainless steel balls that hang off the side of your cup. +my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! +The handles make it easy to lift and carry the items. +it's the shoulder strap . +The bowl is shaped to help designate about one ounce of spirit (while permitting enough area to assist in the opening of the bouquet of the spirit). +I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. +The dual steamer basket allows for you to cook for just one, or a whole family. +After these arrived, my husband saw them on the kitchen counter and asked why I had them. +There is a three year warranty. +If you already have parts of an All-Clad collection this will complement nicely. +I also love that it doesn't have holes on the sides. +I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. +I was able to pick this up at Wal-mart for about $5 . +Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. +Because the pan is free of a lot of harmful chemicals I think it is a great buy. +Son was very afraid of the pump as it sounds like a vacuum cleaner ...Easy quick assembly- threw on the cover (a really soft and plush fleece cover, with straps that go all the way around for comfort and safety-and a really cheerful and cute pattern-definitely gender neutral) and he got right on and then gave us a big fight when we wanted him to sleep in his regular bed and had a fit when we deflated it, rolled it up, put it in it's bag, and put it away... +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. +I frequently eat in front of the TV so I have them on a tray right by the sofa where they are convenient. +I have made tomato, green tea, avocado and sweet corn ice cream and they all tasted great! +The cord is too short . +even if you never put it in the dishwasher , which is always a big no-no with coated cookware like this). +While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. +The price is good , but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. +My RO is using these ISpring filters.;__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98 PPM__RO:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25 +Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. +After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat . +My biggest issue is learning how to use the whole piece of fruit or vegetable I am trying to slice. +These dishtowels are beautiful, soft, absorbent and a very good size. +I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine. +And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... +You set the grind, and you set how long you want to grind and these settings remain, so when you want to grind your beans, you simply depress one button and it takes care of it. +It didn't do as well on the old dog pee stains (yes, I need to replace my bedroom carpet), but it improved them. +if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp) . +I purchased a set of 16 and have one left. +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. +I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice . +If plastic (or whatever composite it is made from) is fine, then this kettle will fulfill all of your needs, I think. +Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. +I eat a plant-based diet , which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables. +The " chrome " sides are a bit much for me--not as clean as brushed steel--but that's a preference and nothing more. +We were both perfectly pleased that this cover is soft and not wrinkle sounding as you lay or move on it, it fits the huge double pillow top mattress and manages to stay on all four corners. +Finally, it has a nice finish that goes well with the rest of our stainless steel appliances. +I defy anyone to find a better vacuum for 80$ . +Since getting the new handle, I use clear packaging tape to help secure it to the base to hold it sturdier . +It works very well, and drains all of the water from the fish before I make tuna salad sandwiches - which means NO water should remain. +I operate in a harsh environment and this works great so I ordered a second one just to have. +I have not found a good use for them. Someone mentioned using them to get items out of the toaster, but I don't need tongs for this purpose. +After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. +She likes the vacumn and recently told me she needed some more bags but be sure to get the real Hoover Pleated HEPAY bags whatever they are. +Got this one for xmas and it was damaged , but amazon return was super easy. +I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green. +Since they are $19.99 a piece I thought I would give these less expensive ($11 a set) potholders a try. +This is a great little vacuum for the price. +If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve ; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. +so I only use it for prep cooking :) +The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. +It works well, as advertised - the weighted arm keeps napkins secure and only dispenses one at a time when a napkin is pulled. +Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle , terminating at the head of the utensil. +They look nothing like what is pictured , nothing. +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! +I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day ) +And, of course, it makes a perfect gift for bottle stopper collectors. +will provide opportunities for small splatters to escape . +And NOTHING sticks to the surface! +Speaking from the smaller ones (which are the exact same thing ) these are great. +The only problem I have had is hair ; it tends to roll over hair instead of picking it up. +I recently bought a plastic set of measuring cups and after taking them out of the dishwasher found that the marked measurements had washed off! +The AC was 67 lbs. so It was a bit of a struggle, but this made it so much easier to install. +Otherwise, for the first reason I bought it does a good job! It's a space saver plus I got a good deal on it since I used the "super saver" for shipping and an addtional discount if you spend more...$125 more so I decided to get other new appliances for my kitchen, I needed it anyway... +Holds 1 1/2 quarts very nicely. +I swore years ago that I would NEVER buy another Euro-Pro product because they are all JUNK . +I immediately placed an uncut tomato in it. +They have some slight flexibility that wood handles don't . +I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. +So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts . +I am delighted with this steam mop-It does a great job of swabbing my tile bathroom and linoleum kitchen floors-It makes copious amounts of steam...fast-It is easy to maneuver-It is easy to use-The pads are easy to take on and off-The built in, convertible hand steamer is an added plus. +The filter holder slides easily out of the slot in the bottom of the water compartment. +However being slightly short on cash I couldn't get the one I wanted and decided that this looked like the best option for the price . +Over a year's use the rattle became noisier and noisier. +but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful . +This is the second time I've purchased one of these, the first was about 12 years ago. +This one has rubber feet that stay put well once you get them adjusted (very easy to do). +My old Hamilton Beach pump machine beat the pants off Starbucks using pre-ground Illy from the grocery store, but the shots from this machine are too weak. +Whistling Kettlefor years, maybe even a decade, but I am always looking to improve my mays so I thought I would give this attractive Circulon Whistling Tea Kettle a shot. +My favorite item to use in the kitchen . +Made in Portugal, it is a 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic blend that is incredibly warm and soft for both its size and thickness. +Removing the screw from the top of the pepper mill frees the knob revealing a fairly small interior (about half a spice-size jar of pepper corns). +I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle . +Simply put in ingredients, flip the switch, and five seconds later you have a perfectly blended drink. +I am extremely careful when taking them off and putting them back on . +It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda. +Having to buy many timers that broke after a short time , I am pleased to say; I am very satisfied with my purchase. +And it's the same thing as the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener , just modified to be kitchen-friendly. +Purchased the Piccolo model due to price . +I just used this for the first time over the weekend and it really worked wonderfully. +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... +It doesn't leak at all. +It doesn't take up a lot of space on your kitchen counter and would look great sitting with your other kitchen appliances. +I do love this product because our gas stove seems to have only two settings: high and higher . +If I can marry this pan I would :)Get this pan. +I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors. +This fan literally vibrates itself off the desk and falls over. +I lightly scrubbed the area and wiped it clean , the suction cup has been there for the last three weeks with no problems! +This set of 4 Jumbo 18oz Wide-mouth Soup & Cereal Ceramic Coffee Mugs are a great example. +Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). +Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. +Losing counter and storage space , needed a solution. +All in all I am content with the cradle and would buy it again. +This glass is perfectly designed to bring out all of the best of a great whiskey, scotch, or bourbon . +The stopper itself fits a variety of bottles and is designed to provide a tight seal on practically any bottle from 750ml to 1.5 liters . +After rubbing against my bed frame for a few months , the fabric wore down and tore! +It has a knob for settings, crumb tray, and looks just like (maybe even better) than the picture. +It says in the directions to hand wash only , which is not a deal breaker, but it loses a star for that as it would be really nice to put in the dishwasher. +They use a special manufacturing process that etches the holes in the blade rather than punching them, which leads to a stronger, sharper edge. +I leave it in my locker at school. +So, because it was inexpensive and would cost more than it's worth to ship back , I'm stuck with it. +This is an ideal gift for hosts of wine and/or cheese tastings where the theme is predominately French . +Half gallon of milk fits great. +3 speeds; oscillates, or not; air can be directed up/down/straight ahead; quiet . +I bought this based on all of the positive reviews that were previously posted. +We have a puppy who would knock the trash can over constantly, and we didn't have a lid for it. +Yes, most of the work of making pasta is in making the dough - and while these rollers obviously won't help with that - when it comes to rolling the dough out and cutting it, these make it much easier than with a crank machine. +Tends to overheat if used with hard nuts or continuously for about 20 to 30 minutes. +If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter . +Three stars because they are well made . +I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. +Wish Amazon would have simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. +We purchased this mold for soap making .It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches. +Love this elegant glass mug for my tea ! +I have purchased three of these - one for me and two for friends. +I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. +I will keep trying other alternets to the pods becous there very expensive . +The polypropylene handles are very comfortable and non-slip , and the blades are just right. +I used to go through commercial fruit juice pops like gangbusters, but that can get expensive if you don't stock up during sales . +they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. +The carafe holds temperature well and - and you'l appreciate this after drippy conventional carafes - it doesn't drip . +I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. +I was in need of some new mixing bowls , having a leftover plastic bowl from my mom since college and a very heavy porcelain one. +These are polycarbonate, Utrem, silicone, and melamine . +Otherwise, I can say the following: great color, sturdy, EZ to assemble. The assembly instructions are just drawings, no verbage, but it is very basic to see how to do it - several very nice long screws, some button screw covers and the wood pieces. +I used various fillings after testing wtih afew plain ones just in case - jam, apple pieces, apple sauce, choc chips - all worked well. +It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. +I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled. +My RO is using these ISpring filters.;__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98 PPM__RO:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25 +The funnel helps me get started without spillage. +I bought cheesecloth from two different vendors to see which I preferred. +The lids are air tight , never had a leak. +I like that it fits in the door of my fridge (I have a standard size US fridge). +Yes, it has one speed (plus a " pulse " function), but you only need one speed anyway. +so it can't go in microwave . +I've been knitting for a long time, and have amassed quite a collection of circular needles . +I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past. +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 . +It has now been 5 weeks and I still have about 1/3 of my tomato AND IT'S STILL FRESH!I really do have a hard time believing how well this little thing works but it dos. +The "power" brush is powered by air suction and when it gets dirty the mechanisms get bogged down and stop working. +Pulled the egg from the water, drain .Place folded paper towel in left hand, lay in egg, small end up. +but if it is well insulated it will heat a whole two bedroom apartment I have moved from that drafty place I had two oil heaters and this iliving and a gas furnice for a week this was able to make a small room comfortable but in the insulated apartment it is amazing when it is not real cold out it heats the whole house with out the home heater I like the heat better than a gas heater it heats a 12 X 13 room very well next winter I plan to purchase another one and heat this whole apartment with two it is just too big for one when it gets down to the teens. +For the price it is good. +Although 1 of the 4 pack was broken ( Amazon refunded the purchase and let me keep the other 3) they seem very rugged and have thick sidewalks. +The handles on these are nice in that they feature non-slip handles . +It balances well on the front edge of my counter, and the expanding basket is extremely useful. +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. +It doesn't say in the description, but this is a double weave strainer . +My sleep quality has improved , I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore. +The cookie cutters are dull and aren't straight up and down, are sloped inward as you cut, not sure why. +First rule with a kettle is to bring the cup to the kettle, not to carry a boiling vessel across the room , etc. +Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. +This is my third stove-top grill/griddle, and I think this one will probably last me until the day I die .It's made of extremely heavy cast iron , comes pre-seasoned from the factory, and is a dream to use on my electric range. +It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. +It's the ultimate in couch potato lounging . +The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. +The smell fades . +It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). +Or maybe it's the gorgeous variegated "Volcanic Flame!" with the rich vanilla -colored enamel interior. +Not as good as the shorter one, coffee does not stay hot as long and for driving this would be a problem if you don't like luke warm coffee. +The finish is still perfect, although I cannot get myself to use metal utensils on it. +Have had it for about 2 months now and no problems. +They're your typical glass prep bowls; you can get plastic ones, these will break if mishandled of course. +The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items . +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. +He said it looked just like the quilts his grandmother used to make and she made alot! +Remember it is 6 1/2 quarts . +You can google "tablecloth sizing" and do some research to determine what tablecloth size works for you. +Easy - there is no full indicator . +Bad beer should be cooled until it's too cold to taste. +I even used it to sweep off the seats of my car to get rid of my Chihuahua's hair. +This cup in my home reminds me of grandma's cup at the pump . +I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous . +Unlike the cheapies out there, I've had no issues with opening or closing the closet door . +In contrast, I have a cheap Boston shaker with a rubber gasket that costed $10 at BevMo, and it has a scale that reads up to 16 oz. +They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. +The only positive thing I can say about this is that it LOOKS great . +I have a Vitamix and am used to the power of this type of blender. +I truly love this pan . +I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. +The fabric is different on each side . +I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets . +I've had my sodastream for a few weeks now and love it. +It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. +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. +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. +The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. +One that attaches to my kitchenaid a Cuisinart machine from ages ago and the newer Ice-21 from Cuisinart. +I use it every day in the summer and spring . +It did produce significant amount of " fuzz ," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed. +I have purchased three of these - one for me and two for friends . +I was looking for a set of measuring cups to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods . +this globe of corks will hold a world of your fondest memories. +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 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 Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. +Installation was a snap as the wall stud was centered behind the TV, and I had installed the whole thing in less than 15 mins . +I love my coffee pot have no complaints about it but the math on the box just did'nt add up- +I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). +It's good for its intent - as a pie carrier. I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc., but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. +The Maeva Universal Filter 2 pack is a great alternative to buying the Brita replacement filters because they just don't need presoaking. +This Ferris wheel cupcake holder is adorable and quite the eye-catching serving piece set up on a table. +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. +Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool. +I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box ! +Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here. +Comfort-wise, I would say it's about 7 out of 10. +I bought this to replace a previous Bodum french press that I shattered when tapping it entirely too hard against the garbage can to get some grounds out . +my daughters and it took a while to find it. +I discovered that other juicers shouldn't be used for wheat grass because their fast speed made for doing other juices means that oxygen enters the wheat grass which breaks down the very properties you drink wheat grass for.but other wheat grass juicers that were the right speed could not do other thigns or other juicers, or cost an arm and a leg as a professional juicer. +I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. +My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. +This and similar recipes call for preheating the pan and baking temps of 450-500 degrees , which is hotter than most pans are warrantied for (including enameled cast iron). +This grater is so fast and easy to use and since its stainless steel is cleans up with a snap . +Although not as thick as they once were (I think they were a ridiculous 11" thick when I unpacked them), they're still plenty thick and supportive. +Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge " for use. +When I buy a pepper I cut it into slices and put them in a jar, and keep it sealed, only pulling out a few at a time for wraps or salads . +The first time I used the bags, I didn't realize that the bottom panels had to be put in place - I thought they were already in the bottoms. +Well constructed with mostly stainless steel and easy/fast to dismantle and reassemble4. +I received this pan for FREE is exchange for my honest review . +We now own a Hoover Wind Tunnel Air and love it. +I usually buy my coffee in small quantities pre-ground. +I use the Large Dial for roasts and this one for poultry (this thermometer's sensing part extends from its tip for 3/4 of an inch which works better for the thinner poultry meat). +The handles are soft and the automatic spring action is a lifesaver. +So I give it a 3 star rating. +It cooks any meat within 5 minutes, perfectly every time. +The support rods are very difficult to get together so I would never take the cloth bag out because of its snug fit which is what actually holds everything together. +The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. +The only not so good thing is the rubber seal on the lids . +When you put the paper into the press, the paper gets embedded into the meat and it is very difficult to peel the paper off of the frozen burger. +This pillow broke down and turned into a misshapen lump within 2 weeks . +NO buzzer ! +I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. +I bought this for my husbands birthday and I have been celebrating ever since! +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. +and I plug it back in to the recharger . +CONS:Price : Current pricing (10/10/12) would have me looking at other grinders. +Returns was easy, and new ones arrived 2 days later. +I was worried about this set as I had ordered it without reading reviews (something I rarely, rarely do but I was leaving town and on my way out the door) +Fortunately, there are a few brands that do deliver nicely for their value, and Sharp is one of those brans. +Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. +We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater. +Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15, so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more. +I'm updating today, 12/14/13, and changing to five stars because I'm still using these bags for groceries at least once a week . +But now here comes Wusthof with 14 degrees of sharpness ( you can't tell the difference with a bigger handle an thicker blade (from the top). +For those that have "Made In China ," Francois et Mimi tests their products. +I have another Breville product (toaster oven) and love it. +The Boos Mystery Oil made the cart look better than the day I bought it. +I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago +In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good.

Both very convenient to use in bedrooms . +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 . +I find myself avoiding using this for food trash or anything that could get leaky/gross, I use my garbage disposal instead or throw the item out separately. +I have had this product now for about one month and I love it! +While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person . +The reconditioned model comes with a five year warranty and this company really stands behind there product. +The only hassle was sorting whites, colors and reds each laundry day . +We received our machine a couple of weeks ago and we have really enjoyed it . +The only drawback to this and other silicone mats is that you cannot cut on it . +Its really like you received a "build it yourself project kit" with lots and lots of bitty pieces to assemble You can expect to spend many hours to build your own etagere cabinet . +It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday. +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +The older version had a button that retracted the cord . +Some people have express problems with the lid . +The is also room for 9 steak knifes. +I purchased 4 of these to align side by side and two on top. +From reading other reviews, my guess is the main problem is inconsistant quality from unit to unit .My experience has been mainly positive. +I read the reviews, but being the stubborn person that I am, I still counted on the Cusinart reputation to come through and prove the reviews wrong.. +I hate to pay so much for bags, but I really can see it prolongs the life of the fruit . +The part of the scoop that attaches to the handle is only about 1/4 inch in diameter. +I've gone through several powered and manual sharpening tools looking for something that will put an edge on my knives that my father, a retired chef, won't scoff at, and this is by far the best I've found. +I use these mylar bags to buy in bulk at Sam's Club and Costco , then store it in mylar with an O2 absorber to give the product long shelf life. +I've had two earlier versions of the Floormate . +First, I need to shape it somewhat into a patty . +I originally had one of those manual juicers with a jar under it to catch the juice, but it was just inefficient and quite messy. +But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating. +However, it did make great almond milk but overall I was very disappointed. +On the quality side, I found this to be a well made product. +Then you have to constantly adjust it in the socket in order for it to stay ON.Finally it has such little power that it would take about six weeks for it to purify the air in an SUV, possibly longer. +The second cracked after my husband decided to make tea in it and poured boiling water onto the tea bags . +i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. +i cook a lot of indian food , and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste. +It was delivered quickly . +This vacuum is lightweight and pulls up lots of dust and fuzz. +Got this for a birthday gift for the ultimate "griller" son in law!!! +I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. 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. +These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. +These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door. +My wife and I had been using the ZeroWater pitcher for about a year until we recently purchased this dispenser. +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. +It's worth knowing that unlike many scrapers this one relies on being sharp instead of being thin and flexible to scrape. +This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks . +It's big, using a 30 or 33 gallon bag, meaning more room for large stuff and less overflow between bag changes. +In short, this is very convenient and useful - I imagine it would also be perfect for dorm rooms or small apartments where storage is at a premium. +I have a smaller cast iron dutch oven , but I wanted something bigger for soups and stews and braised ribs and so forth. +Its gorgeous . +I've been using this pitcher for weeks now, and I'm certain that it will last a good long time. +A definite must-have, from somebody who has a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with all the good attachments , and still uses the Salad Shooter for shredding carrots and such stuff. +Also helps keep my portions to a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! +I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs , etc on this and it works very well. +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. +And best of all, it's available in a range of fun, complimenting colors . +Progressive International Egg Beater was well made, works very smoothly. +But occasionally I bought custom needles that didn't come in a zip bag, or brand-name circs like the Noble Needle that came on a cardboard card (which is by now a shredded piece of paper). +I wish the shelf space were deeper . +I don't catch myself waking up in the middle of the night like I used to on my spring mattress. +The only con I can see is that it may be a bit heavy to handle for someone who is delicate. As another reviewer said, I would hate to drop it on my foot! +The queen fit is just right for our high bed and does not drag on the floor. +The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. +This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. +I love oxo products , with the exception of their plastic. +4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts. +When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. +Make a great college gift or for a person who only has a cup or 2 of coffee or tea at a time. +Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are. +I put the wetter toppings on one side and the dryer toppings on the other . +I have a lot of good grips products and overall they have been a very dependable brand for great kitchen and household items. +But be mindful of its dimensions, placement of the screw holes and the dimensions of your cabinet . +Lined with light weight foam rubber, the box is impractical for knife storage . +The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it. +I use 96% fat free ground beef , which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. +This press is made of very sturdy, solid stainless steel , It is very easy to use, easy to hold, and easy to squeeze, I don’t know why some of the other reviewers had trouble, maybe their garlic was very hard, but ripe, unpeeled garlic presses just fine for me. +If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point. +Will also buy the lid for this pan, as well as the square panini-type press for this pan as well. +It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery . +Also helps keep my portions to a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! +Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. +Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. +The tools attached to the body make it easy to grab and use them. +I used the recipe (in the encluded book) for vanilla cupcakes but used lemon extract instead of vanilla. +One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon .They are easy to apply and work perfectly. +I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. +I have stored my finer pieces of silverware in it along with other pieces received as wedding gifts in the drawer beneath. +They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) +I give it 3 stars because it works really well, gets the job done, and price is good, but noticed a couple of splatters when I was microwaving tomato-based sauces. +I have owned my Dyson DC15 Animal for many years now and it still works perfectly. +Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. +I wouldn't buy more of them. The cubes do not seem to last longer at all and they are not so easily extracted from the rubber tray. +I used it on my bedroom carpet, and it cleaned up new messes (cat barf) admirably. +Simple to use, plug in, when the second light turns green, put in what your cooking close the lid and in two to three minutes , your finished. +This French press pot works well, and is more attractive than many. +However, upon putting these one these fit my hands perfectly . +This scraper comes in handy for so many things. +First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. +never seemed to work as flawlessly as my old openers .Problems:Occasionally it wouldn't "bite" onto the can, which left me wrestling with the can and the opener to get it to seat properly. +I went down to the outlet and found this pan. +a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. +It even pulled the cat hair out of the jute area rug, which has no pile. +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! +This one is great because the probe can withstand to be in the liquid and is long enough to do the job . +My experiences (and my wallet) tell me I have made the right choice . +To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. +You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. +Love that the lid closes slowly and quiet ly, so it won't wake up baby. +It's made in japan and razor sharp. +Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. +I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. +I washed it once on cold and its already noticeably faded. +Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. +I bought two of these for use in a couple of library buildings to hold plastic grocery bags for people to take and carry their items in. +The only reason I rated the machine 3 was the cleaning ability. +It does have a 5 year limited warranty ! +Of course it works on gas and electric too. +I saw a pizelle maker in Crate and Barrell and the associate convinced me how delicious they were, and that they were an italian tradition. +I used to have to heat it up in a secondary cup, then pour it into my travel mug (stainless steel etc). +This is a great knife . +I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. +I am afraid that I just don't understand the attraction of this fan . +You need a reasonable size workspace to assemble it, and if you have a couple decks of cards or thin books it helps because the base is deeper than the unit as a whole. +I used it at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes of roasting the chicken in the oven (turned it down to 350 for the rest of the time) and it emerged fine, coating intact. +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. +The lid has a latch that can be slid into place that prevents opening , in case you have curious/smart toddlers/dogs (we do).The one negative is that the interior walls are not smooth, and in some places have horizontal beams that provide strength, but also catch the stuff in the bag when you are pulling it out, and can easily rip the bag if things are wedged in tight. +I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling. +Silicone mats, whether used for rolling out dough or cooking, make baking much easier by allowing baked goods to slide off without having to butter the surface. +We bought this cover for our mattresses at home . +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). +We have two Snauzers that live inside , two Siamese and a feral cat that love in to enjoy the fireplace with us on cold winter days and I am an clean-a-holic so this little 'sucker' doesn't just meet the bill-- in our house is a small miracle! +The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. +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. +Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. +Grocery store plastic bags fit perfectly in it, but be careful when you pull them out. +Having now done some research on Amazon and elsewhere, I would have most likely tried the Breville before this. +Now, I absolutely must comment on the absolutely beautiful manner of packaging. +Certainly the material is lighter and thinner , but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item. +All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. +I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. +It does open bottles but you have to really snug it up against the top of the opener. +Great invention, but it is a bit bulky. I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts. +However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs , much faster than I can make them in a pot. +it's important to completely unplug your brewer before attaching this unit. +There are basically 6 parts to this thing. +LOVE:uses plain old tap water , so you don't have to worry about chemicle residuemop pads are machine washable and resusable, so there's no waste and nothing to buyease of use / a real back saver, no scrubbing involvedleaves floors cleaner than regular mopping EVER didextremely light-weightmop head swivels which makes getting hard to reach places (around toilet, under furniture) +There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. +They would look great at the dinner table with a vinaigrette, though cleaning the tip will require using pipe cleaners and the bottle itself will be a slight challenge - top rack of the dishwasher would probably work well enough but give it some space to protect its fragility. +Guests always have fun using it. +I purchased it 6 months ago and the first month was great, I actually loved it. +I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. +The directions are really clear and simple to follow. +The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. +You can only chop such very small amounts (has to fit in the plastic bottom part) and it can't get though pepper and onion skin. +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. +THE WHOLE CHOPPER IS KAPUT,DEAD, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!! +Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub ; the print is wearing off. +I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive , lightweight and work just great with cotton candy. +I chose the red because it fits in with any meal but especially great at holidays such as Christmas . +Being Christmas, I had eggnog so made an eggnog latte, then made a regular latte and after that I made a sugar free coconut milk peppermint mocha . +Folded in half, it provides a reasonable layer of protection from the tile and has held up ok after about 2 months of washing. My review of this item is very heavily based on the price I paid for it. +I am very happy with both the size and quality of the Proctor Silex roaster . +Otherwise, the size works great for softdrinks (just bite down to a convenient diameter), and smoothies .And it is convenient that they come apart for easy cleaning. +The tub stays cold enough they can do 2 batches of ice cream in a row . +This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread. +Treat yourself to some peace of mind and enjoy how the stainless steel keeps the drink at the perfect temperature! +consequently i smoke before going to bed so i can sleep . +This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz..... +The coating inside looks like a plastic , and I haven't wanted to risk melting. +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +Highly recommended! +And occasionally I will use it for measuring liguids too... but mostly for drinking water. +(My drive is about 45 minutes ).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. +After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house , I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. +However, if you do not want it, then you probably ought to look into cloth filters. +The shower curtain is translucent, but I put a black liner behind it. +Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser , but they sent me coupons for more filters! +My sister bought this for me as a gift. +Perfect one serving size . +You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom . +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. +This OXO holder does a perfect job of holding and protecting them all. +If you want real high quality kitchen "shears" I would recommend Cutco shears , now those really are high quality, but of course it cost a lot more than this. +I had been using a ten-year-old Revereware set, good in its own right, but there were some things I disliked about the Revereware, mainly the fact that the bottoms did not make good contact with my stove burners (ceramic top). +We got two of these to hold out freshly baked bread. +They give me such comfort for my body and soul . +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. +I decided to gift this to my mother this week +I went for the low-voltage mostly due to the promise of finer sized heating elements .WOW!So +a sleek simple design . +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +The twin is really a full-size .I'm +I needed a 10" knife holder to fit on the side of an upper cabinet in the kitchen, and this one was the only 10" I found on Amazon, so I gave it a try. +Please use denser, sturdier batters . +Since most all of the unit is metal , I suspect it will last for quite some time. +My living room is 14 X 20 . +I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it +The seat has great padding and the mesh back is contoured which really helps my lower back. +My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these! +This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. +And it came very quickly . +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). +The filter is amazing, looks awesome, and quiet . +The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. +I also received a coupon in the box stating that I could get $5.00 off my next purchase. +I got these for the matching sheet set - these cases, like the sheets, are really soft and for the price, are great! +I got this coffee maker to replace my old Melitta Take-2 and never much cared for the weak, lukewarm K-cup coffee makers. +The description is wrong in that it states it is 600/1200 watts. +I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet. +The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. +I plan on using this also as a slow cooker , and I hear your meals are done in half the time. +Amazon does not know how to package ceramic items for shipping. +(My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy . +I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking . +It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap . +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. +The sheets have been washed a couple of times , they are really wrinkle resistant, and soft, very soft , something we really enjoy. +Amazon customer service was excellent, as I had to return the first Braun due to excessive beater wobble and a funky motor, but a replacement was sent immediately . +It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad . +I will use it 1-3 times a day. +While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. +but at least with the 8 D batteries, you get nearly 5 days all night (when the power goes out). +The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle , it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it. +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. +This is a nice, heavy (yet pliant) vinyl shower curtain that should last a few years with a little care. +They handle the dishwasher just fine. +Made in switzerland the quality is top notch. +The markings on the blade are very helpful and the nice thick handle makes it easy to use. +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. +I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. +This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space ( potential fire hazard ). +If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50, this is for collectors only. +As mentioned, we keep it in the kitchen, so the sink is right there . +The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones. +The clean up is the best part with this. +At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months , at least, in the average house. +This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander . +These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). +Second, even distilled water leaves significant deposits on the aluminum plate, even after hard boiling only 3 eggs. +The only reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is because I thought the board had such a hard surface, based on the description and after seeing the product for the first time, that it would not allow any etchmarks to get embedded in it but then found out that it does allow scoring in order to protect the knives so, while that's good, I still wanted it to stay pretty for longer! +As others have said, it doesn't do great at edge cleaning , but neither does a big vacuum. +I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet .I use them for baking chips (kale, yams, potato, etc), and these allow the air to circulate, which has resulted in nice, crispy chips EVERY TIME (without having to turn over half way through)!Easy to clean and durable. +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. +The underside is a more cottony feel and very warm which I appreciate and the throw pillows look great. +When you place it in the oven you need to put it on a flat baking sheet or pan .My cupcakes cooked evenly and were super easy to pop out by using my fingers to push the bottom of each muffin cup. +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. +In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy! +The description says they are 3-3/4 inch diameter , which is correct when the outside of the ring is measured. +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. +It replaced a 10 year old canister model (Kenmore) that never had this much pickup power. +The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids. +One simply screws the needed pole pieces together, unlocks the bottom locking mechanism , slides the bottom pole up to the ceiling (you will hear clicks as its ratcheting mechanism locks on the way up). +I bought this hunk of junk years ago and I can't believe it is still being sold! +Yet are strong enough to hold 1000 ponds . +* 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. +Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. +A dutch oven can do most of that, but those are so heavy before you add food that I have avoided getting one. +What I like:- two heat settings & a non-heat setting - froths like it should- non-stick surface- shuts off automaticallyOnly one time when I used it, it did not shut off automatically and when I smelled it burning I turned it off. +They're your typical glass prep bowls ; you can get plastic ones, these will break if mishandled of course. +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). +Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use. +It doesn't warm the milk too hot , which is nice when making a quick cafe latte. +Pros:-- Designed for different sized citrus --Measuring Cup (1 cup)--Easy to clean, assemble - and the lids snap in place and stay in place. +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. +My room is about 250 sf and this guy heats it up in less than an hour from the daytime temp of about 50-60 degrees up to a steamy 75-80 like i like it. +WThe Mavea filter fit in both units absolutely perfectly. +Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will. +Before you think I'm ridiculous for rating it 5 stars, let's just say I have had this hot pot for 9 1/2 years , and it has served me well. +(the equiv of a super large or two medium drinks from mcdonalds or starbucks) +I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. +I'd previously received the company's muffin pan which I strongly prefer to the baking cups- it's just easier to clean a whole pan than it is to clean individual cups. +Just stepping into the empty tub to install by lightly wetting the suction cups and applying pressure it would not stick. +We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. +All my shirts that normally slide right off the " satin " +Worth the extra few bucks . +These are decent teaspoons for a reasonable price. Ultra simple style. +I've made omelettes in it twice , and was told by the eater that the pan had made a huge difference in the quality of the omelette. +I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99. +I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one . +It "mysteriously" disappeared at the same time they went back home and she was needing to replace it (they haven't been invited back needless to say). +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +I checked each one and all 10 are stamped US Shelby CO . +Although I have a bigger sweeper , I keep using the Breeze. +Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size.

It's just suppose to fit snugly together and stay up on it's own . +This is my favorite baking pan ! +So You have to refill every day .- +My husband and I bought a Keurig last month. +I've been using the Breville daily for over four years ,multiple cups a day. +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. +Function is most important , with aesthetics a close second. +We looked again, saw this Mr. Coffee offering, and decided to try it out. +Large enough for me to serve 8 guests.2) Plastic +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. +I read reviews complaining about rust forming , so I'm careful to wash it right after using and drying it well, and I haven't had that problem yet. +We have two shedding cats and I did not notice any problems with pet hair gumming up the machine.6) Removable attachment caddy is convenient, and makes the cleaner more lightweight when removed. +It looks great next to my stainless sink and does exactly what it is intended. +Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did. +RCA Race 8002E ENERGY STAR 8000 BTU Window Air Conditioner With remote works great !!! +One is a 300 square foot windowless room and the other is about a 1000 square feet of open space. +It slices through everything like it's warm butter, and items fall away from the sides . +I purchased this air mattress and the Intex Nylon Flocked Queen air mattress. +This one has a thin, t-shirt type material for a pad, which does not hold enough water to make a difference with the air output. +We have two Snauzers that live inside, two Siamese and a feral cat that love in to enjoy the fireplace with us on cold winter days +It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere . +Update: Dead now, replaced with a DeLonghia ) +They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized , and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. +They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another. +I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. +My wife and I had been using the ZeroWater pitcher for about a year until we recently purchased this dispenser . +I'm not sure what product was received by the other folks that have written reviews about this product but I do know that my Ionizer was a real DUD.First of all you need a really DEEP 12v socket in order to plug it in - take a look at the picture - see the little silver button on the side? +Since they're NONSTICK coated, it is very important to protect the nonstick coating!I ordered many times from Amazon before, very upset at what I saw this time. +I've been cutting fruit on it, and yes, the knife makes marks . +I think these pitchers are great. +It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee . +One at home and one we use in our RV and cabin . +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +My daughter loves the pink pig design and most importantly it does a great job of humidifying her room which is probably 14x14 or thereabouts. +I also like the design, which looks and feels well-balanced, and Ultraglide is a fitting name to describe its ease of use with the "slick" soleplate. +This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy . +It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room. +I like the design of the rack, it takes up a small amount of space in my cupboard, but the lids just ruin this item. +Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). +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. +But fortunately most of the parts are dishwasher safe.

First, the boxes were not real bulky. +I have all Kitchen aid products . +They're in sealed bags of 100 , and each bag has its own "zipper" seal. +They are well made, look very expensive , but aren't and I will order from this seller agaIn, when the mitts wear out. +I had been using my oven to dehydrate liver for dog treats. +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. +The quality seems good , and certainly at this price point it is. +Space bags are cheaply made, if your not careful you'll rip the seams out of them, but even if you are careful the bag will not keep air out for very long. +The handles feel good , have a nice 'weight', and work well. +I also cleaned my cat condo tree with this, and though my results were not as spectatular as another reviewer, it still turned out really clean. +I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well. +Though if you plan to stain, not paint you'll need to give the top a little sanding with 220 grit before applying poly coat. +I am having some issues with sputtering and the iron leaves wet spots on my clothes while using the steam. +I keep my pans under the sink in tiny apartment kitchen. +I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. +Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. +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. +I purchased this grinder last June . +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 cubes do have to be pushed out of the tray one by one , and placing the filled trays into the freezer can be challenging if you don't put a small baking sheet or Tupperware lid under them. +The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time - I note that the directions warn against heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave. +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. +Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong time! +I love the remote ! +In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. +I decided to live with the damage as it would be too costly to return it and take my chances on a new one, which could be damaged even more. +(My bag FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) +Plus, this machine doesn't make noises . +But if you place ice in the bottom and a little water it becomes a makeshift ice bucket and that does the job. +The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. +The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad. +So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup . +Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. +These hangers are worthless, and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away. +So not bad for Springfield, MO However I can definitely taste the difference. +The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. +Been using this product for 6-weeks . +It died while making cookie dough . +So to all you nay-sayers out there, try buying a lid from the maker of your cooking vessel ! +but I think the tofu sold in the plastic tubs with water would work as well. +The build quality is solid as expected. +plastic stopperBormioli Rocco Selecta 33-3/ 4 -Ounce Decanter with Stopper- +I have only had this rice cooker for a short time , but have been very satisfied with it's performance. +The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. +I purchased two of these dredges to keep salt and pepper handy on my stovetop. +By banning the cats from the bedroom (every allergist's first recommendation), and using these in the bedroom and his office , those spaces are constant "safe" zones. +We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014 . +I've used this with and without oil and with butter flavored cooking spray. +For a real test I gave some to four different people to try and they all liked it. +I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. +Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner .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. +The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well . +1st one arrived defective -- the button would not stay down unless you pushed it off to the side or held it down. +It does not come with a rack though so I looked on Amazon to find one that would fit and found the Harold Imports Roasting Rack that fits perfectly. +If you are deciding between Zenith etagere brand or Elegant home etagere products , I suggest you should choose Elegant home. +so if anyone wants a washboard style air mattress, I have one for sale. +Great Slicer . +I used tap water filtered through a Walgreens pitcher filter with a Culligan cartridge in it and the beer tasted very good to me. +This happened when I was ironing something large . +all your favorite jewelry when traveling . +The dust holder just barely stays on the unit; the button that holds it in place barely fits right .It was real easy to put together from the box. +I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members. +The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids. +I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. +They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price .I buy U.S. made products every chance I get. +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 got this so as not to wake others when grinding coffee in the morning, but it makes only slightly less noise than my Starbucks machine which does a better job. +So nice to be able to order this in colors - gives a much more 'finished' look to the bedroom.... +Can't see inside the hopper after first couple of uses. +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 ). +Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive , there won't be any marks on your tile. +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 . +I know buying online is a bit apprehensive, given that you can't FEEL the fabric to see how soft it is - but trust me - this is a really good sheet / pillowcase maker and I love this set! +I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey , in slow cookers! +I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things.... +No spills .The primary drawback and reason for my 3-star rating is the mediocre insulation. +We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical. +I no longer need to worry about surprise wet papers/purses/lunchboxes or melting containers in the microwave. +The container holds 64 ounces , so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to. +After the chicken was finished cooking, and the pan had cooled, the warp was gone, and the pan back to its normal flat . +They fit my oversized King mattress perfectly. +oops!I needed them (2) in my kitchen since my house was built in 1889 and backthen the people were teeny-tiny and kitchen cabinets were not very large,and closets were tiny for these tiny people, so I got these cabinets for mykitchen to hold the extra pots & pans . +Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. +Her sight is dimminished . +It might not be as powerful as some others, but for low to medium pile carpet , it doesn't really need to be. +I don't even use the measuring cups/spoons . +No sticking, no hassles . +These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. +And truthfully I don't find the unit to be loud for the amount of air that it is producing, and I haven't turned it off of low setting .I am quite pleased with my purchase and look forward to a Cool Summer at less cost than running my AC unit. +This pillow was purchased for our 2-year-old as her first pillow. +I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! +There is no big HANDLE that says, "PULL TO OPEN AND DUMP."Something else quite original: on other vacuums, there is a little footpedal on the base on the right hand side you push down to get going. +It fits across 2 gas burners and works to perfection for pancakes . +I've bought Oxo Good Grips before and was very satisfied so I checked to see if they had something that would solve my problem and came across this. +The vacuum has excellent suction and the flip out extension reaches narrow spots like the space between the accelerator and transmission tunnel in my Civic . +The product itself seems well made with a nice terry cloth top. +In addition to the obvious product flaw, this waffle maker gets extremely hot steam (burn worthy) that pours forth from where the handle attaches between the iron plates. The iron plates get hotter in the middle and so the waffles don't cook evenly. +I got this yogurt maker due to price and simplicity. Fewer features also means less can get broken. +My only reservations with these is that you really need at least two sets to use them for their intended function, at which point they are getting expensive for standard "Made in China" quality . +This is a solid and well-constructed ironing board . +I was told thatconsidering the damage to the frame they would probably just replace the item . +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. +When I got the 2 they were both slightly bent and one of the hooks was bent. +but I couldn't find a big one . +This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder . +We also like the retractable cord feature. +I would have expected them to be the same since both are products of " Harold Imports ". +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. +I bought mine in white , through Amazon. +When we got our new Bissell, we vacuumed one room and ONE room filled the canister. +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. +I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them . +The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. +My bride ordered this for one of our daughters as a kitchen necessity and that is what it is. +Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie . +I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. +The descaling process is a little more than a simple brew cycle with vinegar . +My mother-in-law was very amused that I bought Fiesta dishes for my cats, but these bowls cost the same as the pet dishes at the pet store and are sturdier, so why not? +Cleaning is easy, once the garlic remnants dry in the press, just brush it out with your finger or a spatula . +Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather . +We've had these for 2 months now, and we always use the dishwasher to clean it. +This grinder is very easy to use and hold, as the video demonstrates. +I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. +Sometimes I forget which knifes I used to cut smelly onions or other smelly foods... +This unit arrived in a box that was not damaged or bent, so we know this wasn't caused by shipping or in the warehouse. +I'm not totally convinced that the 4 hours this product claims to keep food items insulated is accurate. +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. +(Maybe 60 sqft ) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. +And equally good, it is built for temperatures up to 500 degrees .This pan worked perfectly for the bread, which popped out as easily as if it had a no-stick coating (which it doesn't!). +The red color is very festive but since there is no specific holiday motive, it can be used year-round. +They watch him as he works and sniff him when I have Roomba upside down to clean him ("Oh, of course it's a robot , we knew that all along...").Still haven't thought of an appropriate name for my little buddy. +I got the two cupper . +I am very satisfied with this product . +We use it 1-2 times per weeks to crush ice for smoothies and other drinks. +I purchased this set about 5 years ago and have used it over those 5 years pretty frequently. +My family has been using the Foreman for 10 years and I never thought I would get rid of it. +and i haven't had any problem with food sticking . +It is deep but not very tall . +Absolutely NO tools required - only about five minutes . +I didn't hang it on the back of a door I actually mounted it to a wall in three separate sections. +My wife bought this for me over a year ago and I neglected to use it for several months. +Heavy and is just the right size , this is my favourite mug. +Not as good as the shorter one , coffee does not stay hot as long and for driving this would be a problem if you don't like luke warm coffee. +To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole . +I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German , which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. +The one drawback is the handle heats up and gets to be too hot. +All my shirts that normally slide right off the "satin" padded hangers cling onto these canvas ones perfectly. +The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. +This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz..... +I've tinkered with the amount of oil 1/2 tbsps all the way to 2 tbsps. I've also tinkered with the type of oil (olive, veggie, coconut). +I use the pinch spoon to measure a powdered medication for my little dog Moosey. +These plates (and the bowls) work just fine in the microwave oven with no problems at all. +My family loves to take our dinner in the living room and watch a good movie together, but we have had problems and the Table Mate has helped to sovle them. +First I was pleasantly surprised that they shipped me the "Pet" version of the Spot Bot. +I used to use a stovetop pressure cooker but you have little control over the temperature/pressure (see below).As for the sticking issue, I find you need to be careful at the 400F ("browning") temperature not to scorch foods, esp veggies, flour-dredged meats--turn the temp down to 300 or 350F; but if you are searing uncoated meat, 400F is ideal for a good fast sear that releases from the metal. +If I were doing a large animal it would probably take two people to cut the meat up fast enough for one person to feed it and then take another to wrap it. +Rated this a 3 because I love the tiny pepper mill but the salt mill, leaves a lot to be desired. +The second Brita pitcher I was defective when i got it +The door falls off on the left (Looking at the toaster) side of the oven. +My experience has been mainly positive . +This is the second Luna Pad that I have purchased for a 2 year old who is in a full size bed. +The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom +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. +First, it takes a long time to charge--hours, in fact; and then the suction began to decrease and lose steam after only 10 minutes ! +Alice May Brock is quoted as saying: Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian;Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good. +My mother-in-law was very amused that I bought Fiesta dishes for my cats, but these bowls cost the same as the pet dishes at the pet store and are sturdier, so why not? +This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner . +Not too much . +They are Chinese and have a funky smell .I'm +The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor, so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections .I had to ding it one star for the cheap-plastic "decorative rings" between each leg piece, and the difficult to remove inspection stickers on every item; the stickers indicate that they are doing good quality control, but they need to use a sticker that doesn't leave a sticky mess on 16 different pieces. +Bought two as gifts for a friend at 2/3 the price that I paid for mine at a kitchen store. +I like the iron... the size, the look of it, the ceramic and titanium soleplate, the way the water is easy to add. +What I really like is that it will lay flat , which allows me to get under things that I used to have to move. +My brother loves making s'mores in the microwave, so I bought him this as a Christmas present. +I love the fact that this scale goes up to 11 pounds and still small enough to leave on the counter. +We found a cheap $2 pillowcase at Wally World that fits perfectly. +Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. +We have bought almost the entire line of USA pans including the deep dish pizza pans and we have not been disappointed! +I'd previously received the company's muffin pan which I strongly prefer to the baking cups- it's just easier to clean a whole pan than it is to clean individual cups. +It is heavy , so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. +The mesh is really fine so it catches about 99% of whatever you're brewing - actually catches more than my normal coffee press. +sometimes I find myself wishing it was a little bit bigger . +The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air. +A stuffed burger .The key is to shape the meat into a patty before sticking it into the press. +We drink a lot of juice and got the Juiceman to save a bit of money and also get a better-tasting juice. +Maintains performance & efficacy after repeated washings up to 200 Fahrenheit .Sleep +I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial. +I'd recommend this for anyone living in an apartment with a mattress they don't want to throw away-- even if you have heard nothing about bedbugs in your area. +I have a large White Wing steamer, but it's awkward to haul up and down the stairs. +My everyday, calphalon one nonstick is just that pan. +Just the right size, fairly thick plastic , and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. +I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. +I'd get them if you feel the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special. +The T-Fal ActiFry performed exactly as advertised, to my surprise. +I bought these for my Sears Kenmore Canister Vacuum. +This design has been around since the 1930's and it's still a good one. +The chrome look matches my faucet and is fairly unobtrusive. +I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. +Juicing makes it easy to get my daily fruit and veggies, as well as the enzymes, minerals, vitamins, etc. +I searched and searched for an inexpensive timer to replace the 3-way one I had for years and loved. +It was fairly easy to install but still required a bit of ingenuity as the side panels were a bit of a challenge. +These bags are a decent price and very handy to have stashed in your purse, messenger bag, briefcase or glove compartment . +I purchased this pan at Macy's, and love it so much that I have put a second one on my Amazon Wish List (about $3 less than Macy's).The non-stick surface works like a charm - with just a little bit of greasing ahead of time, nothing sticks. +This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it! +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. +The design is beatiful and not overtop making them a a plus to use with the good dishware. +The assembly instructions are just drawings, no verbage , but it is very basic to see how to do it - several very nice long screws, some button screw covers and the wood pieces. +TIP - on the last use, I was able to complete a about 10 more limes by using my hand to turn the cone a little , which then allowed the motor to unfreeze and start spinning the cone. +This product takes 10 minutes to setup 4. +I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving. +The Henckle's feels just as sharp and easily passes the paper test. +I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower . +Overall, I would recommend these. +They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. +I had reservations as it got some low reviews but for me it is wonderful and no more throwing out half pots of coffee . +I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed .I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away. +They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. +My husband did that and said it wasn't hard . +I love waking up to fresh juice in the morning and over the years I've tried everything from the old-fashioned "manual" juicers to quite a few of the juicers you find in most department stores. +These glasses I picked up because I wanted to experiment with some Absinthe mixes . +Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. +but it's especially good for cooling cookies . +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. +Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance. +I have 9.5 in pie plates and they barely fit. +Use this frother, along with a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and your own skim milk , plus whatever other ingredients you like, and you have Starbucks for about a quarter (or less) of the retail price. +This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement. +The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week . +My last timer which was a Sunbeam manual timer cured me of my ignorance; it couldn't keep proper time and would sometimes stop ticking all together or other times the buzzer wouldn't ring or very softly. +I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. +All I wanted to put on it was some laundry soap, fabric softeners, and a little bin for lint +I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. +a set of cookware , I researched and decided on this set. +i haven't used it but i like the construction.very sturdy and the coating feels slippery.i see some reviewers feel they don't have to use linersor grease but the manufacturer suggests grease. +It makes both good espresso and good coffee and the milk steamer works very well . +It's very difficult to judge when the eggs will be hard as golf balls or with liquid whites. +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". +The smallest bowls make great ingredient cups . +The measurements were 13-1/2"W x 36"H x 12"D , not even as big as this one. +Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars , might contemplate 2. +My Pur filter is much longer and I would assume contains more of the filtering material; it also twists and locks into place. +a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. +It does not strain even my somewhat arthritic hands. In short, it does the job it's supposed to do, and does it easily and smoothly. +just to add on to all the good reviews this is a fantastic dutch oven I kicked it off by seasoning it again because yes people the seasoning is not stellar mine actually looked grey a bit still so in the oven it went but after that little time killer the fun began I made a roasted chicken with lemon rosemary and onion with garlic it was amazing how well this thing cooked it, literally so juicy and tender it fell off the bone.. +I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. +It seems to conduct heat very well , so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE! +It washes up well, I have not seen any staining like another reviewer mentioned. +This is just so much nicer than the plastic expandable tension rod . +However, I'm returning it because of the cord . +Leaked after a few weeks... +By choice among all raw diet and the complete vegetarian, I was at a thrift store and ended up seeing this blender the elite version for under $10 how could I resist at that price, long story short +The stretchy pouch is terrific! +For one, I'm a John Wayne fan, and this mug along with my 2012 John Wayne calendar help motivate me to work on my projects. +However, these small blenders don't pack the necessary power for my type of use. +This set of 4 Jumbo 18oz Wide-mouth Soup & Cereal Ceramic Coffee Mugs are a great example. +I bought it on special sale through Amazon (where else). +It's okay for a small room. +I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years . +I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. +I used the 2nd slot for a newer top of the line J A Henckels chef knife, and both slots for dull Pampered Chef, Anolon and Martha Stewart knives. +Ecopure is much cheaper , and does the job just as well -- without annoying charcoal particles or slow filtration. +The same Model but in White , didn't fare so good with users comments, funny. +First a negative: This unit is big and is not easy to move around or to get out of the box however it comes well packed and protected and had two heavy duty plastic ribbons around it which helped to move it in to the house. +I received mine in a timely fashion . +Not only do these BedVoyage sheets look great but the super soft feel is fabulous!

+I can't imagine buying a frother that does not have a non-stick feature. +I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. +Works great , single hand operation is nice. +Recommended, but will you spend $60.00 for a clothes hamper? +It's not that using the iron is so terribly difficult but, with garments made of linen or wool, you can often iron in such a way that a seam becomes permanently visible . +I found not useing the paper filter and grinding the coffee expresso and stoping the water when it starts to look pale makes a med. +Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens . +a high-end quality category. +Other nice feature is the digital temperature gauge .The one drawback is the handle heats up and gets to be too hot. +I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. +However, the tank on this Penguin has only one small filling port that is much too small to get your hand through . +a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! ... +The Yube Cube Modular furniture system is a little challenging to assemble. +I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face , which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. +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. +All samples are of the same weight of popping corn (weighed for accuracy on a postal scale) . +I do suppose it's true that it's not an airtight seal, but we've gone through its' capacity (1/2 stick) in no more than 2 meals, so it's not really an issue for us. +It can hold four slices of toast if they're jammed together, so it's not huge, but I'm happy with the size. +As it turns out, I am reasonably satisfied with it. +This product only comes in white but can probably be easily spray painted to match any decor shower bathroom etc wherever you put it. +The digital controls are a change over other units I've used which had an old style mechanical kitchen timer. +I'd bet anyone would be happy having this scraper in their kitchen!

grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out . +While this does work I basically have to pump it a good 10x or so for each spray, which is bordering on too much work to make it useful. +Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers , this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers. +I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. +It was much easier than trying to roll/slide/move the loaves into the pan any other way .The Super Peel is great when moving soft/sticky pizza or any sort of dough from your working surface into the oven. +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... +It presses nice and tight and flat to the wall so it's a spacesaver in my dining room . +It completely removed the chlorine odor and odd taste from my city water. +This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. +I researched on Amazon , and this one seemed to fit the need. +Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. +I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button;

When I had a question, I called the Magical Butter phone# on their web site and they had excellent customer service. +To sum them all up, this vacuum is hard to maneuver and absolutely will not get into or under small places because the nozzle is too wide and too high . +The first time I used it, the waffles were a beautiful golden brown . +I bought these after coming across an article that suggested that kids who cough a lot at night without showing other signs of being sick might be allergic to dust mites in their bed . +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. +The Zojurishi comes in handy to not only cook rice for large groups, but also to keep rice warm and ready for consuming for around two days . +I used White Cat Corn popcorn, so perhaps it's a cut above, because everything popped. +It can take on whole frozen fruit and within seconds turn it into a wonderful smoothie. +Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs , but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. +It isn't the most practical obviously, but it does make nice little ships and icebergs that are easy to remove. +We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). +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... +One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. +It is a hassle to install the beaters ... and worse is that they are held in place (somewhat) by a inner plastic ring. +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. +The see-through window is clear and flexible. +If you don't like it, you ain't out but a few bucks (so long as they continue to offer this under $5 ) +With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW, I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it. +They are a little loud, and the vent can be hot to the touch, but I'm very happy with my purchase. +The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. +You have to shake it pretty hard to get the bread out. But big deal - as long as it comes out I'm happy!As far as Zo's customer service, I've never had any trouble. +Maybe it makes it safer electrically , but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. +Its handy and easy to hold and the cord is very long so it stretch a long way. +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. +I haven't used the brush attachment yet, but I imagine it will do well on my ceramic-tile floor. My impression is that the brush probably does well on surfaces with crevices, and the pad on smooth surfaces. +It also fits in nicely with the design of many kitchens and appliances on the market today ( stainless steel , or black/white appliances. +I don't usually give bad reviews on Amazon , and I buy a lot of stuff here, but thought I had to make people aware of what they will be getting in to if ordering this particular Model. +Fruit stored together like that can encourage each other to ripen faster .I keep some bananas on a hanger on the counter, but put 1/2 in a green bag in the fridge. +So, I bought this mold , to use as an ice cube tray. +Plus.......

This is the first time I have received a tea set in the mail, so I was a bit nervous about packaging. +Ok i hope i helped someone out there, this would be a great gift for any sushi lover . +The package recommended that I lightly dust the mold with cornstarch +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. +I am pretty picky with these things, but this duvet insert is perfect for me. +I had a little trouble hooking the plastic pieces onto the hose but finally figured out they need to go counterclockwise. +This is so easy I wish I would have done this years ago, Now I am no longer lactose intolerant who knew?? +Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. +I used it without muffin paper cups ...and it worked great. +You get what you pay for and this product is substantial. +You can squeeze all of the water out easily, and the tool is easy to clean .The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is made of plastic. +It is pretty easy to clean and I only clean mine every two months when I change the filter. +I love the color . +I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. +I really like the size & shape and cherry red color, but having the windows made out of plastic kind of defeated having stainless steel in the first place (which was to stay away from plastic parts coming into contact with the boiling water.) +Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot. +I warmed 2 frozen sausage patties in the microwave for 1 minute while machine was still heating up. +On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble. +Full Size Luna Premium Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - 10 Year Warranty - Made In The USA +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) +Would you buy car parts for a Ford from a Toyota dealer??? +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). +Outside of that (which I hope was just a manufacturing flaw with the one I received), this item met all our expectations . +No longer do I get "floaties" in my herbal teas , even when the herbs are very fine. +I store it in a container in the refrigerator . +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. +While I've made coffee through paper towels in the past, this dripper wouldn't work with that. +The only reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is because I thought the board had such a hard surface, based on the description and after seeing the product for the first time, that it would not allow any etchmarks to get embedded in it but then found out that it does allow scoring in order to protect the knives so, while that's good, I still wanted it to stay pretty for longer! +I've tried several other timers and the West Bend are the best!!! +My one negative issue so far is the unit with the bowls needs plenty of storage room .Highly recommend but you will need storage room. +The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. +NOT at all removable with even the best of cleaners.**************recipe for Gingerale [ no milk no egg] very good - 2 cups +There was no smell with this pillow, but I did need to remove some of the buckwheat to make it softer and more pliable. +Maybe some lemon, or juice ...mint leaves perhaps? +Suddenly it was necessary to put foodstuffs and other items in large plastic boxes; even though they are translucent enough to see through, they're still a little opaque . +The 1-cup and 2-cup Pyrex measuring cups are indispensable in the kitchen. +As soon as the frother arrived, I opened it up, pulled the tab to connect the batteries, washed as instructed, and made some cold chocolate milk . +It locks closed and seems sturdy. +At 20 inches long and 6 wide it's rather unsightly in my kitchen. +Clean up is a breeze . +The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine. +the diameter .By +My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages , I don't think Umbra offers refill pages. +This brewer includes the filter system and the reusable My K-Cup that must be purchased with the other systems. +My experience with Bissell's spot cleaners has been horrible. +Most manufacturers in this business keep changing their model numbers every year, so even if a heater gets a rave review this year, you won't be able to find the same model next year. +after having owned a Calphalon contemporary non-stick set for 8 years with non-stick coating peeling off (ugh...health hazard??), it was time to replace with new pieces. +4 of these for the price is just a great deal. +I usually sharpen my knives pretty often -- once a week or so . +We bought this to clean our carpeted stairs with. +So I decided it was time to be a grown-up and buy one that cost more but would last longer .After reading tons of reviews (including ones in Cook's Illustrated) I broke down and shelled out the cash for this one. +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!). +Once found it will make a very good item to donate , and I would rate this as a 'want' as opposed to a 'need'. +Though it is "non slip " - it does, indeed, move around. +I ran aboout 3 tanks of water through it, and left it open overnight (actually two days while I got filters) before making any coffee and there is no plastic taste or smell. +I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 not the $95.99 they are currently listed for. +Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high , it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. +The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched. +In our apartment we have very high 12-14' ceilings and there are racks all the way up there. +She uses it daily and will often make tea and coffee throughout the day now vs. only in the early morning time. +I wanted this to wok, so I followed another reviewer's recommendations and cut the bottom off of a K-cup. +I got the glass lid +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. +it's hard to get the container out of the machine when the yogurt is done. +I was given a set of four Rachael Ray Dinnerware Little Hoot and the Snowman plates to review, and I think they are very nice. +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. +It is WAY too small and they could have made it hold more water. +The canisters are easy to clean since they are dishwasher safe, easy to use (especially one handed), they keep items fresh and they come in several assorted sizes in both round, rectangle and square shapes. +The first time I tried it it did not work and I thought I should have listened to the bad reviews, the second time I just held the sealer on the jar firmly and it sealed like it should. +I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. +For anyone who prepares ground beef, sausage, even mashing potatoes , this is a great tool First saw it at my daughters and it took a while to find it. +I use yoghurt in bowls within bowls of warm water, covered, wrapped in turkish towels . +This little doo-hickey converted us from a Tassimo T-Disc enjoying household, to a Tassimo T-Disc loving household! +They are cold water machine washable and the shade of red is very lovely. +but a microplane grater will NEVER be absent from my kitchen again. +This is just another one of those products that when it's demonstrated by a slick host who has multiple takes to make itlook can appear to be a good product . +Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. +I had my doubts about the OXO pinepple slicer , mainly because it's plastic and the slicing edge didn't seem sharp. +Functionally, this thermos travel mug works great. +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. +Needless to say, I have sold the Cusinart, stopped using the Keurig at the jobsite and have gone back to a real brewer. +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. +I don't drink ale or beer very often (worse than ice cream for my weight) but when I do want to indulge as a treat or give a gift to a beer-lover, this is on the top of the list for a drinking glass . +I had been tossing the lids into boiling water and then trying to get them out with either tongs , or the magnetic wand - that resulted in a lot of frustration and burned fingers. +It got worse and worse and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. +the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar . +I love that this timer can countdown from a specific number of minutes/seconds and also it can time how long something takes . +The squeezer looks nice and sturdy, and has a good heft, which is good since you need to put a little bit of elbow grease into it to get your juice. +This is a great 3qt saucepan ! +The v shaped rack made that easy. +I cook almost entirely with cast iron . +I'm sure it is from the waterproof material that is used in its construction. +I only have to flip once which is cool. +You must be careful not to bump it because it can tip over easily and spill out the water all over the place . +But my kids hooked it up and made me tea, I am a big green tea drinker- +It seems absurd and I was definitely a skeptic about just how effective and different having the GelPro floor mat would be...but I stand corrected. +Both have a 7 year Warranty now. +The problem is that the materials themselves feel very cheap . +However, it goes even further by having an embroidered edge ON TOP of the usual stitching. +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. +If they work well and stand up to moderately heavy use, then they are a wise purchase . +So, this was a huge step down for me in terms of power . +The four setting he spoke of only toasts the top of the crust, not the whole slice. +I drink coffee every morning and usually I make it for the week (I am not a connoisseur) and refrigerate it . +The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances. +I bought one of each item intended for two different bathrooms and after buying both products, here is my list of observations that lead to the following opinion: The Zenith was not exactly like you are buying a ready to use etagere with minor assembly required. +(Let's face it: for big jobs, it's easier to just get the big guns, like my Dyson DC65 Animal Complete Upright Vacuum Cleaner .) +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. +We just purchased a new gel foam mattress which was highly rated by Consumer Reports through Costco . +I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. +The base and fan parts are plastic, and the pole is metal . +Also, the cord is short , and it is not easy to get things over the hanger part of the steamer without tangling the chord. +By the way, for recipe conversions:High setting = 250F = +I bought two of these mugs, one with a handle, one without. +The instruction pamphlet that it came with is in Japanese only so that's no help. +They have lately branched out into the bathroom , to very good effect. +I purchased this set about 7 months ago when it sold for $62.99 . +It's been about a month so I will have to post an updated part of this review in 5 months or so . +I love everything but the beeps, it can handle a frozen pizza (just turn it half way through the cooking time). +I've owned one for over five years that finally wore out after three or more times use per week .I decided to buy the Cuisinart because it had better reviews, last time I'll listen to the reviews here. +Crane produces more moisture than Vicks . +well written instructions /pictures. +The housing seem to be made of good quality materials. +Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. +At $ 200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. +I deep fry and the oil is expensive so I reuse it but it needs to be strained. +Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. +Like many products in the USA, they are made in China , they look just like in the picture. +I was looking for something to put my soap in without it going slimy. +I bought this heater before got a bad one and I really did not give it a chance I lived in a very drafty home. +(I do have three Rottweilers , so we don't lack for hair on the floor). +Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product- +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. +I also love the way the attachments clip on , rather than just slip on. +When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy! It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. +When I'm done cutting, I just wash and rinse my hands thoroughly with the glove ON to remove any food juice and particles, and then just take if off and throw it in the dish drainer to dry. +The Dyson sucks from the power head when the handle is tilted (assuming the hose underneath hasn't come undone) and from the wand when locked upright which is superior when it works. +I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years. +I was looking for a good quality egg pan and this is it! +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 bought this trash can over 2 years ago and it is still working flawlessly -- and I don't even recall ever changing the batteries yet. +This is a well made fan designed primarily for wall mount use . +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. +I have a mandolin for cutting up food, but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle. +They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times , so you can use them in the freezer, to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything. +I purchased a new butcher block work table from Ikea and used this oil. +I should have taken the trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to be able to check out other types of tea balls before getting this model. +If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50 , this is for collectors only. +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 +The mat has a bad smell out of the package. +I knocked a point off the rating because although very nice from a utilitarian viewpoint it isn't an elegant piece of furniture . +They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer, to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything. +Our home was built in the late 50's . +This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work. +I knowwhen this is demonstrated on TV the chopper is easy to open and clean but my the one I have is very difficult to openwithout fear of breaking the device .I'm +I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. +Short or dense breads are get better slicing results , but that is not the type of bread my family likes. +This set of 3 stackable cooling racks seems to be well made, with one caveat. +a 1 year warranty) in the long run, +Clean up is a breeze and the water comes to a boil in record time. +it has an area for smell and particles and it monitors the air and turns up and down as needed. +My brother loves making s'mores in the microwave, so I bought him this as a Christmas present. +After checking it over and recalling my frustration trying to figure out where the right spot to stop filling was at with a regular canning funnel, I decided it was worth buying because the store has a good return policy, plus on the label it clearly says "Satisfaction guaranteed." +The quality is great . +They are the perfect width for drying pasta . +The product serves its purpose for heat resistence and helping to protect the non-stick surface +It's higher quality than it needs to be +I was surprised by how quickly it sharpens - just takes a few passes. +Things like "Never nest the mugs", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". +With this new rack, they cool much after, and I am nit worried anything is going to burn .The quality seems good, and certainly at this price point it is. +It is very sleek and attractive, with a gleaming chrome finish, and takes up less counter space than my previous scale. +The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. +The Rotisserie is also a great feature..... makes awesome chicken. +The wall gets warm but not too warm , I can touch the panel +I have burn ed myself twice from this occurring. +I'm happy with this little toaster oven . +I am comparing it with another Brita pitcher. +There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. +so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented ). +I love using the heated setting so the milk doesn't cool my coffee. +I still have one actually, but it's a larger ( stainless steel ) variant. +I got this because it was a convenient size for the refrigerator for my ground flax seed . +This tool would also work with unripe papaya to shave into pickled preserves or other papaya recipes. +a 12 amp motor and comes with a two-year warranty (Note: stated warranty on Amazon site is two years, on bottom of canister states one year). +I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak .If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you. +I place the attachment part into the hose of my vacuum, and as long as I hold it, it fits. +Instead of a rich, ocean blue, they are a candy-colored blue . +We first tried these at a friend's dinner party , and immediately ordered a set as a gift and one for ourselves. +I use a Brita filter simply to remove chlorine taste , but i was fed up with the pricey filter cost. +Our youngest has had many accidents on it +i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags , the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in. +I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition. +So, I opted for the Stainless steel Electric pot and sure enough, it is just as great as my other Breville. +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! +I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. +The suction is really good. +I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. +These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars +I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table , but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. +It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, +I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree. +To the point where all my waffles split in half and I have to dig them out. +However, after about 1.5 years of use, it now leaks out of the sides even when filled to half its capacity. +I love the longer cord, which is perfect - long enough to make a real difference but not so long it gets in the way. +we live in an apartment with limited counter space and we've recently started eating healthier. +I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. +I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. +And finally, while I was worried about these being cheap and/or poorly made, they are (at least the ones I got!) solid and Italian -made. +It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. +I have never seen another product on Amazon that has such a high percentage of 5-star reviews plus a respectable number of reviews. +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. +Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! +The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes , leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. +Me not being a fan of hand-washing , I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. +I like it's rear wheels, which make it easy to pull in and out of my little place it have for it to sit. +This pillow has lasted well over two years and is still in great shape. +This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. +Keeps your hands clean, without having to stand there waving your hands around like some kind of air traffic controller .Overall, it's a good trashcan, I just wish both containers were 16 gallons (or even 13), and not a paltry 8 gallons. +You may lightly grease the muffin pan using oil, butter, or baking spray for the best nonstick experience. +I've decided to keep glass mayo jar lids as an alternative. +a 350 sq ft living space. +After five seconds of that inadequacy, I went and washed the Victorinox knife, and the rest of my slicing was quick, effortless, and flawless. +Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? +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 ! +My teenaged daughter has been baking since she was 10yo and has always had a special interest in cupcakes. +A couple of small dings: It does take up a bit of counter real estate, and cleanup is not all that easy. But fortunately most of the parts are dishwasher safe. +Just hold down the button and off it goes. +This is an abomination ! +Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured ; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. +intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. +While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. +Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. +all recommended care and use guidelines were followed so this shouldn't really have happened. +Toast is better than from any previous toaster- evenly brown, crisp and rapid . +I now have six of these hanging in my closet. +Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. +Fast forward to day two, after charging for another day, I got through another 20 or so jars. +I should become policy of Amazon to demand knock-off information on the product page as a warning. +Recently received it and used it three times so far. +It's a very well made fan that is spoiled by excessive fan noise which is a real shame. +This jar opener would be a perfect solution for the elderly and others who have weak hands or an injury. +The ones I bought at the store have a removable gasket . +I didn't pay attention one day and got a nasty burn pulling a very hot pan out of the oven . +Leggett and Platt are not very helpful. +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 and they're good as new! +It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack . +And the dimples in the glasses increase my ability to grip. +The Dyson is over 5 yrs old and the other hoover is over 1yr old. +The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient. +It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). +This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. +There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types . +So much better than my old Roomba (with its hard to clean brush and its bumping hard into stuff).I do think the Neato is better at cleaning carpet than hard surface . +It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. +Granted, like any device, you have to understand how it works and its "quirks", but once you learn, it is worth it.Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. +The nice part was that the shelves lined up perfectly so that everything is mounted to actual studs rather than just dry wall. +I of course had discarded the box by then, so sending it back would be a pain in the ass. +And you have to nearly after every job, because it's capacity small and if you have pets, the rollers can get gunked up with hair pretty easily. +This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. +Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs. I tend to hold these with a more chopstick-like grip when working with delicate items as it provides more control and precision, such as stuffed mushrooms. +the glass carafe . +Well it's cute , and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. +The only problem is that the handles become lose and water gets in. +While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. +If not watched closely, the pot tends to get overheated and smells like it is going to melt . +One thing they do to help you get consistent results is to use regular charcoal briquettes, this made our first few tries successful. +The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. +Nevertheless, the fan is rather loud and doesn't pack much punch. +For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table). +I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. +Much easier to use, and my baked goods will stay in one piece (no struggling to get them out of their pan) +The construction is exceptional . +I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. +It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. +I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. +The model I bought six months ago just went out to the trash after months of "bickering with Bickell." I think it worked three times and Bickell's customer service people managed to talk me out of returning it until the return date had passed. +Got these 18 months ago for a kitchen remodel, loved the look and price. +Will it last for ten years? Probably but the plastic parts might not. And the price is beyond reasonable. +Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag . +They are pretty sturdy and it is so nice to not have shoes all over my closet floor any more. +My daughter recently graduated college, and for Christmas she asked for a set of mixing bowls. +So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. +This coffee maker is great, it heats the water very well resulting in the brewed coffee @ 165-168 degrees F. It has a very good warming plate that can be adjusted to stay on from 10 to 120 min . +I than wait 6 hours . +Then you can slip the top leg half in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening. +Mix up a batch of cornbread dough, pour it into this pan then pop in the oven? +TEA requires HOT WATER to brew . +Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7 . +Unbelievable quality! Extremely well made - padded; great zippers. +These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts , though I have not done a test of this. +I love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. +Plus is it just more hygienic . +It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) +When the napkins start to get low in the holder, the weighted arm does make it mildly difficult to neatly pull out napkins - perhaps this is a mild nit-pick which can be easily remedied by just re-filling the napkins . +I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. +There were problems with the older model after 5 years of use (and it is still going with problem noted). +Guaranteed to increase your consumption of T-Discs (is that a good thing? +So 12-ounces is a safe capacity. +I got this because, being a Southern cook, I put chopped onions, peppers and celery in nearly everything. +Arrived super-sharp and ready to go! +I especially appreciate the fact that the containers are not only stackable, but fit into one another minimizing storage space . +I used a label maker to put the names on the bottles and put them in alphabetical order to make it easy and quick to find what I need. +I have other Butterfly Meadow items (bowls of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish. +I ordered 10 ivory ones (two different sizes) on a Saturday night and they arrived by Wednesday . +I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. +What I found interesting was that the sheets almost have the texture of very fine suede like material while being a cotton sheet. +However, please be very careful because the blade is very sharp. +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. +This is a knock-off of the original Osterizer part. +I have always used at least some oil and have had no problem removing my muffins as long as I am patient enough for them to cool down. +My only caution regarding this product is that you need to be aware of the location of the hole in one corner of the potholder. +I'd get it pretty and clean with this thing and then seal it. +THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long + Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on. +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. +It took up about 3 trays . +If you have any travel mugs (like from Starbucks) that hold small or medium size coffee they don't fit with the coffee maker. +I picked this up before Thanksgiving because it looked like it would make two specific cooking chores easier - mixing popover batter and making hollandaise sauce . +This is very quiet , small hum from the motor, and the actual sound of the vegetables being ground/squeezed. +i believe you have to cook atleast two cups of rice, but the cups are smaller cups (i believe a 3/4 cup measuring). +When you take it out of the package --its feels very soft and flimsy in you hand..... +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 . +Even though it technically was not necessary, one rinse sufficed with the Mavea filter and the water ran crystal clear and clean. +The first roll i made was a little loose because i didn't squeeze it tight enough but by the second roll it looked just like the rolls I get at a restaurant. +The quality is good and the design is whimsical...very cute. +Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages. +I got through nearly 2 dozen jars (wide mouth mason jars, I used the wide mouth jar sealer) before the vacuum died and I had to recharge. +I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years.

no worries about BPA.2) +The only reason I failed to give 5 stars the fikters are a little too large for my Bunn Coffee basket. +the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction . +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. +I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on. +This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature. +Really quiet , i never notice it at all when it is on the Hi or Low setting. +The round tab I assume is for scrubbing at a difficult spot or along the rounded curves of the bottom inside of the bap +When I decided to do a through cleaning at home (moving all the furniture, lifting the bed ), I knew I needed something other than my standup vac (which is very powerful but lacks vac tools). +Now we're again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)I like it for:1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger - some other ones we've had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.3) Power roller bar - really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.4) Easily removable battery -

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!). +3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price. +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. +For what's its worth the reason people purchase vegetable rennet vs. animal is because the process to get animal rennet isn't very "animal friendly". +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 :-) +In fact, I found I needed to use less oil than usual as the heat didn't disperse but stayed in the pan. +I bought two of these for my dish drawers , they're perfect for keeping everyone in the house on the same page. +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 have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. +I've even been known to take it out to make my ( no ice ) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender. +I found that I could not remove my Lodge cast iron skillet from the oven using one of these, it took two. +The nut on the top always comes loose when grinding. +My wife searched for a long time, did a lot of reading, took customer reviews from all over the internet into consideration and finally decided on this Cuisinart set. +I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. +It died while making cookie dough . +I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. +I've been using this daily since it shipped and absolutely love it!If I had to change one thing about this Juicer it would be adding a bigger sized barel to trap the pulp, otherwise it's fantastic for the price , you just can't beat it. +So if you are considering....save yourself some money and stick with the one that came with the unit; you are not missing out on anything . +Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different +Cleanup was easy ! +While I am not sure it would hold 42 ounces , it makes enough coffee for me. +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 will not be able to "squeeze" the liquid out as you would with a traditional can opener. +I needed to buy a new mattress protector for my teen son 's bed. +First, within the first week of owning it, the handle cracked and split. +I ended up using screw for the top hole, and command hooks for the bottom support. +only in the early morning time .High recommended product. +It comes with an iced tea function that I found myself using more than anything else since I love iced tea. +It is infrared heating, and it has a blower motor. +Air like water is nearly impossible to keep out of anything that it surrounds so if your looking for "space saving" get a box of Contractor's Heavy Duty Trash Bags and fold your items placing them into the bag, gather the bag around the vacuum cleaner hose, when the air is removed tie a knot in the bag. +Since I got this in the mail , I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! +This product works very well for my white cast iron sink. +I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! +The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups . +Alarm is mild , wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. +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. +This Freshware pan is for those who like to bake muffins and cupcakes in a smaller size. +I agree with several of the other complaints (poor suction, blows dust, cord doesn't stay wrapped even if you use the cord clip ) +I purchased this knife on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated. I had my old chef's knife for many years, and it was time for a new one. +I have a teensy, tiny bathroom with no convenient wall location on which to mount a TP-Holder . +My RO is BareWater system. +The only bad thing I can say about pyrex...after about 5 years the writing on the sides may begin to wear off, which is what happened to my last measuring cup, for the price I can't really complain. +This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once. +The price was great on this iron, and I normally like DeLonghi products , so decided to give this a try rather than purchase a Rowenta. +It seems to be durably made so I hope that means it will last me forever! +Wish it came with a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) +The diameter of these straws do run larger than traditional "fast food" straws , but not quite as large as "boba" straws. +I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. +My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. +This item works for the most part, but the plastic end has warped which makes for an uneven cut. +I am not the greatest baker, but I made a batch of Bailey's cupcakes in this, and they came out okay. +I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable . +It doesn't stay together and will literately crumble if there's any weight on it , and sometimes even if it's moved. +I also had a little too much leftover pineapple from the shell which seemed a waste. +For 2 scoops of beans, it takes at least a full minute to grind, so be prepared for that. +It's now safe to put ice cubes into your home blender. +My husband got this for me as a gift and i just used it for the first time today. +I got this as a hand me down to make fruit smoothies . +I believe that these glasses are of restaurant/bar/commercial quality and will last a good long time and for the price, I think that I may just buy another set for back-stock. +That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods . +That being said, the wide base fits very comfortably in the hand so there is less hand fatigue if you are whisking for any length of time. +I picked this up before Thanksgiving because it looked like it would make two specific cooking chores easier - mixing popover batter and making hollandaise sauce. +I enjoy having something like this that enables me to make my very own kettle korn , and this is a pretty good choice. +Then again, Amazon was handling the returns. +Mine arrived on November 26, 2013 and I've already put it to use for my holiday cooking. +At first the blender was fairly quiet and then as time went by it got louder and louder until I had to wear ear plugs to use it. +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 . +Amazon 's is priced about $20 less than in most stores; we bought our first Rowenta, same model and make, at a store in NYC for $100. +I use them for tossing and serving salad and find them very convenient. +I love these trash cans . +I bought this because of the price . +The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material. +That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. +I love that this is a compact processor that works fabulously! +I've had this kettle for almost a year now +I heat it up . +A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can. +It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen , is stainless steel +I was able to fill it up with 1 large pineapple, 4 pounds apple slices, and 12 large bananas . +Top among them: easy to clean . +I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother . +We were told to put it on after plagued with a small bug problem to "lock whoever is left, in-- and keep others out" (The apartment was also sprayed-- this product doesn't fix anything without help ). +I typically used a 4 or 6 inch mattress of this type with great results in the Philippines . +I love it so much I have purchased 2 more as gifts . +The design is great . +It's very sharp , at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. +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 was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but I was disappointed . +I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet . +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. +It's actually 800/1200 watts +and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use . +With luck and repeated washing, perhaps they will fade to a soft camel-color , which I would not mind in the least. +I called Bunn Service and told them about the problem, heat plate wouldn't work, On/Off light on the hot plate quit working and the next day the heating element for heating the self contained reservoir holding onboard water also quit working. +have had this beautiful skillet for about a month now and at first food just slid off it amazingly well but even in such a short period of time it has lost its non-stick quality and now requires scraping when trying to remove food. +Here we are, 2 months later, trying desperately to make it last because, once again, everything is sticking and you better not even put eggs in it. +Who has not heard of Cuisinart , so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. +Perfect size for either one or two . +They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price. +All that being said, having owned them about a month now, they pass all the standard checks: sturdy as standard wine glasses, symmetrical, good vertical alignment (not angled base as found on cheap glasses), arrived fully intact ( none damaged/broken). +I wanted a thermal carafe, and when it arrived with glass I assumed I'd made a mistake. +Loved the blender but the motor died within 6 months . +We received an EC701 model for our wedding, which died after almost 5 years of daily use. +Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. +I have tested the fire resistance of the handles, too, by leaving the handle resting on the edge of the hot pot. +They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? +while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods. +If you haven't used it for awhile, you forget about that and then you make a little hassle for yourself. +These are very simple stylish tough glasses .. +They are not designed for commercial use and would get damaged pretty quickly if used in that manner. +Cleanup is very easy on both the pot and insert. +It's slim and small enough to fit in the diaper bag . +I worried about fire hazard . +My two complaints after several years of use: the opener has never really held a charge ... after a bottle or two it's done. +Son was very afraid of the pump as it sounds like a vacuum cleaner...Easy quick assembly- threw on the cover (a really soft and plush fleece cover, with straps that go all the way around for comfort and safety-and a really cheerful and cute pattern-definitely gender neutral) +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. +I gave it three stars because some people may not prefer their coffee piping hot and since it does make a tasty cup of coffee with the three settings, I will leave it. +But it also put out a horrific plasticy type of smell. No plastic was burning that I could see. +That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew, or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. +I'm so glad I'm no longer spilling water, dealing with internal filters or worrying about getting air into the system... based upon our level of usage , this was a great choice! +It seems to me that it would be much safer if the mixer automatically reset itself to OFF when it's unplugged. +This ice cream maker is also a good price , and easy to set up. +The only down side is that when they come out of the dryer, they appear wrinkled . +I would give it five stars but ... it's the shoulder strap. +The second place can opener goes to 4 Peaks Tech , for their unit. +*************************** December 24, 2013 Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. +The STB 101 hand held turbo brush is a must have weapon in the war of pet hair. +I rotate the mattress , don't know if have to but old habits die hard. +The entire thing is welded steel , so there's nothing plastic to bend or break on it. +You need to be careful to seat the lid just right before you latch it . +I purchased quart size canning jars this year for the purpose of storing dry goods and leftovers and an attempt to avoid so much plastic in my life. +I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. +The ironing board, iron, and related products are out of the way from all of the other items in the closet, extending only a few inches from the door, but very accessible when time to use them. +I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. +It's a bit small to hang on to and will grind only enough for a few cups at a time which is perfect for me and my crew. +All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7. +(The air latch needs to be properly secured otherwise it will deflate.) +They cut a zig-zag edge, which helps prevent fraying . +You then can clean most everything in the dishwasher, just not the heating element and fryer housing . +The handle is perfectly shaped, easy to grip, and feels so good in my hand. +It's not a satisfactory sharpener for a slightly-discerning chef. +Right when you push the cup down into the blender , it starts to engage the gears. +It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. +It makes it a more multi -functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role. +The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. +I also use this to grind spices (does a great job on ginger) and pulverize the spices and herbs from my garden at the end of the season. +I boil the water and fill it half way . +Assembly is a snap and yes, emptying can be tricky, however if one removes the top it's not a problem. +The nuts don't grind evenly . +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 .So far, the Food Saver Bags have worked out very well for me. I have tried different kinds of items sothat I would know if they work on wet and also dry items, and for me, they have really done a wonderful job. +For whatever reason, using the iron seems like a chore, but using the steamer is like playing with a toy . +I've bought Oxo Good Grips before and was very satisfied so I checked to see if they had something that would solve my problem and came across this. +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. +We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")-- They ARE washable! We put one through the wash with all the other clothes and it came out in one peice! +Air like water is nearly impossible to keep out of anything that it surrounds so if your looking for "space saving" get a box of Contractor's Heavy Duty Trash Bags and fold your items placing them into the bag, gather the bag around the vacuum cleaner hose, when the air is removed tie a knot in the bag. +It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. +You can't tell from the picture, but this item looks quite elegant, as if it were made of fairly high quality porcelin, but it's made of CorningWare which along with Pyrex always gets top marks from me. +This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated . +On the plus side, it's attractive and well-made . +Makes very good coffee from dozens of options available. +I was looking at a different Cuisinart one, but free is free. +Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. +It came packaged well, fluffed up in the dryer , and has kept up its shape so far (almost 4 months). +I have electronic stove. +It's nice to purchase things on Amazon , because they make it easy to send back! +I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years. +They were quite dulled, with sticker residue and many dark fingerprints and water stains . +The photo shows a shower curtain with metal grommets . +I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up. +I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. +I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer . +The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. +I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. +I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! +This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be , so it wasn't as easy to carry. +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). +The surface is so hard it barely gets scratched in it so it always feels like it comes really clean when washing it, unlike all my others that feel rough and get things stuck in the grooves. +Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars . +After using this one, I realized how extremely dull my old one was. +With a little ham, a sausage patty , or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. +I always wanted a cordless vacuum but didn't think it would really do much +The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. +I love this satin brushed salt and pepper shaker. +What a waste of money . +You simply set the bottom of the corkscrew on the top of the wine bottle , turn the top of the corkscrew clockwise until the cork is out of the bottle, remove the corkscrew, turn the top of the corkscrew counter-clockwise until the cork projects from the bottom, and then remove the cork. +A true jewel red . +Also, the end, where the hole is , is REALLY thin. +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. +but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. +I bought this knife after reading an America's Test Kitchen review...was a little skeptical as it was so relatively inexpensive but it's great! +This warmer is great for me since I keep kosher and have no other way of warming up food at work. After years of eating cold food I can finally have a warm meal at work. +It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. +Maybe the people with problems are cooking something very sticky?I like these silicone pans a lot. +I have 3 cats and one dog and it cleans up even pet hair incredibly. +The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. +I, too, bought this dispenser so that I could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day. +I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green .Would NOT buy again, but... +Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. +I wasn't wild about the crazy colors , but as knives go, they are really good. +After experiencing a bad bout of sinus issues last year I bought this and other cleaning tools to eliminate dust and other stuff that is floating in the air. +Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress, and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. +The size is great and for cold drinks it may be better. +Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. +I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. +I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. +I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. +It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. +Sometimes I would use my hands and have to pick, pick at all the stragglers. +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. +But it rolls from room to room easily. +Love the clear glass . +Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, and hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar . +I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. +The Zojurishi comes in handy to not only cook rice for large groups, but also to keep rice warm and ready for consuming for around two days. +Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. +it will leak so make sure you set it in there properly. +I had a bagless upright when those were first introduced and hated it because of how difficult it was to empty and clean out the container. +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). +Just wish they were a bit more programmable so I could schedule when it is on, not just how long it will be on. +The key is to shape the meat into a patty before sticking it into the press . +The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. +When the timer went off you almost had to hold it next to your ear to hear it, never mind being in the next room. +a sponge holder to place a plastic one which was really gross even though I scrubbed it weekly. +On the bottom shelf I have an old Ken wood Stereo Receive (fits, but the front legs come off just a bit but this doesn't affect stability. +works as advertised so it gets five stars . +I got the blue speckle and I think that is probably the most attractive color choice. +It'll also be great at home when I'm done with school. +The cubes do not seem to last longer at all and they are not so easily extracted from the rubber tray. +I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. +Just when you least expect it you are hit with a counter top/floor/rug soaked of water (usually when you are having one of those hectic mornings where you just need to get out the door...)Spend your money elsewhere until they can improve this design ! +I can't believe how nicely & easily I cut through everything now! A very good value for the price too. +I used my simple SONY HTIB.The product is stong on the bottom so it's not going to tilt over. The extension part is a bit weak. +the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special. +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). +They also shrunk in the wash, unlike the Haan pads ... which are microfiber. +This one is better because of the generous compartments and the padding that keeps things from moving and rattling. +BECAUSE THE MEASUREMENTS ARE GENEROUS, IT ACTUALLY FITS BEAUTIFULLY ON MY KING SIZED BED . +When I received the cutting board , it was perfectly level. +Hurom and its distributor have apparently done NO testing for the amount and safety of plastic contaminants. +I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color , as it lets the light shine through without being transparent. +I guess he really likes slicing potatoes and grating cheese. My wife even sent one small but necessary piece of this down the disposal. +And if you live in an old house and just cannot get rid of those pantry moths no matter what you try - these are impervious to the moths finding a way in (thus the successful storage of the flour and sugar). +That being said, the bathroom in our new house has nowhere to hang towels near the shower door since the entire enclosure is glass . +The red looks good with our Empire Red Kitchen Aid appliances. +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). +I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. +I saw a pizelle maker in Crate and Barrell and the associate convinced me how delicious they were, and that they were an italian tradition. +Doh!It works like a champ--gets my room cool in 20 minutes (about 300 sq ft ). +I received it on a Friday, discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday. +Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. +I gave this 3 stars since they could have easily fixed this by putting another 1/2 to 1 inch metal band around the inside of it (it's currently around 3/8 an inch or so). +Available in lots of colors , we have the salmon (that's really pink) set. +I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. +No nasty smell like some reported, so that was nice too. +It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. +You can scoop with them, measure your ingredients, heat on the stove and they have a ring so you can either keep them clipped together or pull them off to use individually. +I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. +I did use it to melt butter and later to simmer giblets and finally to make gravy -- and it was superb in all cases. +Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils ! +I just received my Pinzon throw today. +After 2 weeks of frying a few things in it - eggs would not come out - they started sticking, badly. +Then it took 3 (three) treatments with Goo Be Gone to get the remaining glue off the canister. +Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. +I bought 3 of these for my adult children . +Very modern and sharp looking in my kitchen. +The lid is made strangely and it twists to become looser and thats how you drink it . +This Toaster Oven does everything it says it does except you can prepare toast better in the toaster . +Our electric company offers a rebate on Energy Star products, be sure and check with yours. +Well, 8 months in, the kettle stopped turning off when the water boiled. +Buying more expensive coffee maker is no guarantee it will last a long time .I've had this coffee maker for couple of weeks now and so far it has worked great. +I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. +It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well. +No heat in the kitchen, like my gas stove, Florida where I live, is hot and the central air eats a lot of electricity, this cooktop uses less than 12 cents of electricity for hour, and does not heat my kitchen at all. +I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours . +it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent , but you dont have to. +However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo. +I always find ale and stout tastes better from a vessel shaped as this (and the etched star on the bottom allows bubbles to form on the micro-surfaces of the etching , and adds to the aroma and sensation.) +I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

From time to time, when it seems slow to shave, remove and rinse blade area because sometimes ice builds up at where the blade is. +As stated in the description it is heavy duty commercial grade . +In 2006, I bought the older version of this heater from Gaiam . +This is a very nice bamboo kitchen utensil set. +I've had no discoloration like one reviewer complained of. +I have purchased and returned 3 coffee makers in the last 4 months before buying this one. +I cook 1 cup of brown rice in this rice cooker and filled it up to the 1.5 mark on the pot. +my wife hates the smell of smoke almost as much as i do but as its a necessary "evil" ; such is life. +The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable . +After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions , I bought a food scale. +All that being said, having owned them about a month now, they pass all the standard checks: sturdy as standard wine glasses, symmetrical, good vertical alignment (not angled base as found on cheap glasses), arrived fully intact (none damaged/broken). +and the coating feels slippery.i see some reviewers feel they don't have to use linersor grease but the manufacturer suggests grease. +The transparent platter rests on a fairly small central circle, so if you try to heap loose produce on it, it may wobble . +They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer , to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything. +You simply set the opener on top and turn the handle...as soon as the resistance stops you can easily lift up the can top with the smoothest edge I've ever seen created by an opener. +The first KitchenAid stand mixer I had was inherited from my mom and dad +I love it because it is quick and can add hot water while cooking in no time . +It's my own fault for pushing the "popcorn" button on the microwave when the nordic ware instructions say not to, right?), and the lid has warped upward after repeated steaming. +However, for proper beer making, allow about 4 weeks from start to finish, instead of the minimum 2 weeks . +Helps organize a good amount plates( about 12-14per shelf ). +The first thing I noticed it the automatic blender action . +When it's folded flat, it is shorter than an average bar by a good foot; it's a little thicker by about two inches . +I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies. +We tried using a safety pin to remove some of the plasticky blue coating they'd painted the threads with (WHY?) and still couldn't make much progress. +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. +Only get this one if you need the extra features . +Roomba will also easily encourage you to keep your rooms tidy . +When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent .WELL! +I actually own the Oster 6646 but am writing the review here because the 6646 appears to be no longer caried by Amazon and the 6684 is simply the black version of the 6646.First, the good: +The lid is the same size as my other one, which makes it convenient. As of today, I can vouch for the sturdiness - I knocked it off the countertop, and it hit the un-carpeted floor with a thud, but had no damage. +UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. +I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. +The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams , Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, And MoreI'm looking through my old cookbooks for ideas, a lot of frozen desserts would likely translate well to popsicle form. +This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily! +I tried the little face towels first just to make sure I was getting something I would like before I invested in the full set. +I would give the CDN a 5 star rating except I've had poor reliability on previous digital thermometers. +So with new filter I am figuring there is some kind of leak in the construction so a large amount of tap gets through. +My closet has a steel modular unit that has shelves. +So take a sip, wait a few seconds and then insert the chillsner . +I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours ). +While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. +It had been dropped on the small handle end and dented, and there were dents in the metal trim ring of the lid. +They are the perfect size for my tiny mother to work with. +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. +Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use. +But you're probably not going to put this next to your "nice" furniture . +Instead, the spoon tends to angle up and tip over, making a mess of your counter or stove top . +I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan. +I was thrilled when I found this one on Amazon . +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. +If you are using actual cooking utensils with longer handles, however, this spoon rest falls short. +I keep my pans under the sink in tiny apartment kitchen. +It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton . +Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. +Then coming back with ample time to allow the decal to dissolve, I reached into the water to pull it out and my hand went into the ring and my finger came across the inside of the ring that is creased over. +FYI, the Libbey site has 4 in a mini baking set, and the dimensions are 4.9" x 1" . +Sweet! I've tipped this thing over on my desk with the flip top sealed over the straw and only a couple drops came out , not a drop even hit my desk, only wet the sides of the lip a bit. +My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans. +The room we had it in is still stinky ! +and I are pleased with results our favorite is freid catfish and hushpuppies . +This was on sale at such a good price that I had to try it. +I am back to regular manufacturer K-Cups or the My K-Cup (the one you can get in the store) (That's the only one that doesn't leak).I even went online and checked out the reviews that said to move the rubber seal down on the needle, it didn't work. +This rice cooker is a gem. +Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy . +I pre-made Grand Flaky biscuits . +Coffee tastes better ..no pot to clean. +Anyway, mason jars are legit and buying 12 at a time is a no brainer! +I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. +I ordered replacements and those had creases that went away in less than a day. +They fit perfectly , hold as much and never rip. +I purchased this pan at Macy's, and love it so much that I have put a second one on my Amazon Wish List ( about $3 less than Macy's).The non-stick surface works like a charm - with just a little bit of greasing ahead of time, nothing sticks. +The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. +Had to return to get replacement. Otherwise it works great. +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. +The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it. +I can not tell the difference between the two and it is too much of a hassle to stop and swap out . +I got this for my daughter , who is an avid tea drinker. +I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years , but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand. +I love cold-filtered coffee . +I almost didn't buy this unit, as there were a number of reviews which were troubling . +I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes. +Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect! +so I went out to buy a battery powered fan, something grab n' go. +This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. +These are the real deal, U.S. made, P-51 can openers, with a small hole to easily attach to a key chain, lanyard or other carrying device. +We make dough in a bread maker at least once or twice a week . +The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly . +I used them for my spices, and unlike another reviewer, found they perfectly fit a U.S. standard size spice jar (e.g., McCormick's). +I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124" ). +Sometimes I'd just use a plate I didn't feel like crawling under counters, looking for lids. +Gosh, I really like the OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack... +The capacity is rather small but just right for a small group . +I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced. +My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. +the Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display. +I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. +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. +Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well. +Gone are the days of using knifes ! +Note: For what it's worth, these pans are made in China , unlike the Calphalon Commercial from yesteryear. +I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. +After these arrived, my husband saw them on the kitchen counter and asked why I had them. +Totally worth the investment and with Prime, the free shipping is great! +I have four sets of them. +This weekend my Chardonnay stayed refreshingly cold for well over the hour it took us to finish it. The attached aerator is a most appreciated bonus. +I have this same brand in stainless for another location, for the few years. +They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. +This is one dandy can opener. +The Gourmet knifes are made of stamped steel not forged from a single blank of high carbon steel. +Overall I'm really happy with it . +a small apartment in the big city ). +Although I wish the tank had more capacity , it is fun to gauge your progress. +The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it. +This only lasts a few seconds, but it is very assertive (if this is one of the 'cons', you know that the product is pretty much perfect)-- fairly large footprint, but it is light enough to store under the counter or in a less conspicuous place. +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've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything . +You simply set the opener on top and turn the handle...as soon as the resistance stops you can easily lift up the can top with the smoothest edge I've ever seen created by an opener. +Costco online is running a special this week for the Blendtec at $369 with both jars, and a 8 year warranty. +My wife likes the remote wand to do the steps and the attachments for furniture are perfect for the kids couch and play areas. +I have very small hands , so its easy for me to clean. +The odor was very faint and I did not feel the need to air it. +The 1st one was damaged at the handle but as soon as I contacted Amazon about it, they very promptly (the very next morning) shipped out the replacement press with no problems. +Just set him off when you go out or when you are doing laundry or something. +I used this product for a few months, then experienced the same problem many other reviewers faced with the grinding bowl getting stuck in the unit. +What your left with is an item that will look used (like you picked it up at a garage sale).Also, the magnets top and bottom are in such a location that it is impossible to align the lid with the base .While the picture looks nice, this product, due to the unattractive labels and poor alignment, has been reduced to a throw away product. +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. I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. +When I was a child, my grandma had an outdoor pump at a well to supply her with the water she used in her house work and cooking. +Whistling Kettlefor years, maybe even a decade, but I am always looking to improve my mays so I thought I would give this attractive Circulon Whistling Tea Kettle a shot. +I operate in a harsh environment and this works great so I ordered a second one just to have. +The pan has a nice weight . +It fits exactly how I need it to (thanks to the expandable feature ) and has a no-slip grip for cans to sit on. +Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use. +The spring loaded arm provides just enough tension to allow you to rip off a sheet with one hand while not providing so much force that it is tough for the roll to rotate. +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 . +It produces a nice little stream of cool mist and after the first night of use I woke up without a dry, sore throat and nose. +I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes. +I love that this is a compact processor that works fabulously! +After 1 day, I noticed the air was a little fresher, crisper . +This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery . +It finally pooped out on me in 2001 . +The smallest one, 1/4 cup , is a little bit tippy, but the others are all solidly flat. +Great bridal shower gift or a nice present for your favorite cook! +All Clad is consistently rated tops . +It also calibrates, a nice feature for less than 20 bucks, and the cover is useful, though the clip won't keep it standing upright in your pocket as the weight is all in the head of the thermometer. +You just need to be sure you have the oil collection container in place +I was worried about this set as I had ordered it without reading reviews (something I rarely, rarely do but I was leaving town and on my way out the door) +I have the larger Sanyo electric grill and it is great, just a little too big for my kitchen counter. +This topper has made it much more comfy .. +For a < $50 food processor this product is great! +This sharpener actually removed the sharp edge off of two knives that had been sharpened with $3.00 Harbor Freight sharpener that looks like this one, but only has a single ceramic sharpener . +I ordered two of these shelving units for my loft +I followed other reviewers advice and rinse the rice well before cooking. +I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. +Bought this oven several months ago after our old NuWave gave up the ghost. +For the price, I definitely recommend these!(BTW, for those wondering about ionizing units, the ionizing units release ozone , and the allergy community feels that even the small amount of ozone released can be more irritating to asthmatics than the allergens, and thus the latest recommendations say to avoid any purifier that releases ANY amount of ozone. +the morning , I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes. +There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. +Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, a nd hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar. +I use this for homebrewing after reviewing several thermometers out there. +The product pictured looks like smooth stones . +At first this is a very versatile knife block that can hold many things. +Yeah it makes noise, it's a blender, the tech built into this works, the blades, the ribs in the vessel, the countdown timer . +The feet on this appliance are very sticky which I suppose is a good thing for most people +Oddly, the persimmon color darkens to a very dark orange with heat, but it returns to its original color as the pot cools. +Needing to outfit a new kitchen I was looking for a set that would work with all types of cookware. +We have had this for the past 2 years - its been our second one by Shark and we really like the set up. +Knowing they are NOT leak-proof reminds me to keep them level till frozen then can be store any which way to keep till I need a meal. +Also, one of my shelves had a scratch/scuff -- if I were going to use this without the baskets, that would have been a problem. +I decided not to receive it, since I have a cat that jumps on my furniture , and I don't want it coming down and hurting him. +Who doesn't friggen love a mason jar? Psychopaths maybe? +But it is a fantastic design . +The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out. +Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. +This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. +Thanks to Against all Grain cookbook by Danielle , I bought this slicer to spiral zucchini into spaghetti noodles. +Pros: Lightweight Cleans up the smallest particles of dust and dirtCons:Hard to get cornersLeaves hair, bobby pins, and other debris behindDo I recommend? +a little cutting board .The vent is especially handy when the bread is out of the bread machine, as even after cooling on a rack, the bread keeper need to vent out the moisture and heat. +I read the bad reviews and have not had one problem with cereal crunching or anything of the sort, up to now I have put in cherios, fruit loops and reeses puffs , perfect performance, no complaints at all. +Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub ; the print is wearing off. +I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. +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. +But what I didn't count on, which is the best bonus of all, is that because of the food being contained under the cover, it cooks the food with a little additional steam . +This vacuum has got to have the strongest suction of any cleaner ever made. +By the end of the third week, on the low setting it sounds like a roaring freight train . +Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? +The lid is snug . +It can whip together a light batter AFTER it's been all mixed and incorporated, but it certainly cannot cream butter and sugar, and I wouldn't dream of trying to whip cream with it. +I feel the product does what it says it will and does it well and certainly has made our TV room dinner/movie time a much more pleasant experience . +I just ordered this with a cover two or three days ago and was not expecting them to arrive so quickly since I picked free shipping .I was pretty sure that king sized blankets/quilts/comforters would have significant overhang when used on a queen sized mattress and sitting under the duvet right now, I'm kind of disappointed. +may cause cancer or reproductive damage . +The "fits up to 10,000 BTUs" is a false statement, there's no way this will fit my 5,000 BTU AC , it's too big, period. +The 5 quart bowl seems a bit small ( we have double convection ovens so double cookie batches are the norm) and, with cookie and cake dough, there seems to be a dry residue at the bottom of the bowl. +Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. +I went around to the other side of the isle and noticed USA Pans. +I stopped programming the coffeemaker because on rare occasions the grinding/brewer cycle would start and somehow blow open the maker. +The coarse setting is great for my french press, and the finest section does well for my espresso machine. +There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. +It just requires adding all of the ingredients and just turn it on. +Gave it a try last night . +I got this to go in our bathroom . +The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun. +It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible , even the base. +I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! +Crushes ice into snow if you let it. +The cord comes with certain length (~ 4 feet I think ), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. +The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. +So far my wife and I have purchased six Fiesta 4-Piece Place Settings (tangerine, sunflower, paprika, scarlet, turquoise, and lemongrass), with a few extra serving dishes to match. +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 dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. +I had been user a spray bottle of water and a microfiber mop and then spotting the harder to get areas on my hands and knees with water. +I've been using this frying pan for a few months . +If you do not install the electric crank/motor properly, the paddle shaft will strip out the metal insert of the motor housing causing metal shavings/filings to contaminate the product. +The top is very tight, but still does not seal properly . +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. +Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian; Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good. +I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. +I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. +I still have one actually, but it's a larger (stainless steel) variant. +In fact, I just might take my good, old time deciding if I really need t replace that old ( 25 years ) fan or not! +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. +More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. +I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3 (?) +so I did a ton of research on Amazon and this one had the best and most believable ratings I could find. +Leightweight, rolled edges not well rolled . +I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. +My only real gripe is that it does not stand in place on it's own; if you don't have enough material inside to balance it out, it will fall over . +After checking with the manufacturer they use a 304SS which is from the highest quality stainless avail. +But , that is not how it is supposed to be used, and it works even better for it's intended use : keeping chilled wine chilled. +Cleaning is pretty easy as well. +Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside. +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) +I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter . +I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. +It is a very heavy cleaver that appears to hold a great edge. +She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices . +I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. +Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. +This is the first time I have EVER reviewed a product on Amazon, but I felt compelled to try and prevent others from making my mistake . +I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) +Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer , I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. +I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal . +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 +I'm glad I bought this mattress. +I keep it stationary & on high . +The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. +I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep +It still does what it's supposed to , so no complaints. +The only con is that grocery store baggers tend to pack them TOO FULL! +no matter how fast i move the grinder, it still ends up in one small pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! +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. +The truth is, though, my two-cup plastic storage containers with lidswork just as well, so unless you like cute gadgets, I'm not sure it's worth the extra money if you already have such containers in your kitchen. +The color red is awesome and matches nicely with other bright red accents in our kitchen. +I have installed water filters for drinking under our sink in our fridge etc....they just dont cut it. +If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth . +That is not an issue for me as I have a glass cooktop , but some might find it very annoying. +Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks. +A friend of mine paid about $75 bucks more for theirs, and they don't like it... +This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well! +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 particularly like the thinness and strength of the blade . +but you will need storage room . +Space is ok , appearance is ok. +I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos , and my son loves it as well. +Be ware.. 10-cups refers to Japanese cups, which are smaller than American cups. +Would enjoy hearing uses others have come up with for these. +The cutting edge is slightly shorter on the G/P due to the bolster which also may make sharpening more difficult than with the Silverpoint II. +Relatively quiet too so it would fit nicely under a desk as well, at home or at work. +It worked just fine but stopped working by February , so I exchanged it at the store. +We found a cheap $2 pillowcase at Wally World that fits perfectly. +After several use, I have to say that I could do without it. +I ordered these to complement 16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set , I intended to use these a tea mugs. +It's quick and easy to set any time up to 99 minutes .2) Beeper keeps beeping until you turn it off - doesn't stop after a minute3) +This is the best vacuum I've ever owned (and I've owned many).I have had it for over 5 months now and it is as good as the day I bought it. +The person I hired to put it together said and it would have been impossible for a person who couldn't have thought outside the box . +One year later, it stopped working totally and we have since replaced it with a Soleus Air CFM-40 40-Pint Dehumidifier--Amazon sells it for about the same price and it is INCREDIBLY quiet --so much so that I have just bought a second one to use in my own bedroom at night. +The water boiled quickly and efficiently . +If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then. +I love tea and am able to make the best cup of tea, ok I use 3 tea bags as I love it strong... +The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet . +I shopped around a little and chose this one mainly just because Ron Popeil is so successful I figured he must be selling good stuff. +I also love that these are made in America . +It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. +I used to go through commercial fruit juice pops like gangbusters, but that can get expensive if you don't stock up during sales. +The red and green " dust lights" do make some sense, I suppose. +I have a small kitchen, but the corner cabinets are really deep. +So much better than my old Roomba (with its hard to clean brush and its bumping hard into stuff).I do think the Neato is better at cleaning carpet than hard surface. +It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. +Finally have the perfect scoop for making cookies just the size I want them. +It is a very modern take on a fruit bowl, but it functions very well as one. +They are Good, solid, cast or forged , not likely stamped as the tang/shoulder/blade are one piece around 1/2" thick at its thickest part. +Overall though, an excellent unit. Highly recommend. +When I first opened the box with this "fryer" inside, I was a little intimidated ! +The auto foaming only fails when we use heavy cream . +After an hour of noisy churning, the base was still liquid and the bowl was only slightly chilled. +As the name would imply, this is a pan that might be used in place of a regular fry pan but its design lends itself to wok style cooking. +Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. +The top cap serves as a cup .- +But I do think its a quality mat as mats go, mine is nice and thick , and feels good on the feet. +This press is stylish enough to leave out on my cooktop and keeps my coffee hot for at least an hour . +Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. +This is unbelievable peeler ..slicer ,graterI m for the most part vegetarian and that peeler is so handy in my kitchen its crazyI do own metal kitchen glove by the way so I often use it together ... +I tortured myself with research on which pressure cooker I should buy and the Fagor Duo came out on on near the top in many reviews. +I don't use this pan overly much its a bit small and I have a large family +They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. +I highly recommend the other water kettle I have owned for a couple of years with no problems:Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle +These lids are THICK compared to others & the price was more reasonable. +Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. +I thought I had ruined my All-Clad pan when I boiled it dry accidentally. +I teach Kindergarten , and I needed a visual timer that the students could use to pace themselves through their work (and to know when a break is coming). +I have been using a Liz Claiborne throw for years that was very soft and very big. +You can see when the canister gets full. +It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. +Another of the three would break in half where the tray meets the base each time it was accidentally knocked over in the shower, and eventually I got tired of slotting it back together. +I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. +I love that it has 3 temperature options, that it gives you the option of warm milk without the foam, and that you can walk away from it while it's doing its thing. +I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. +It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast , but much smaller than our previous one. +I now keep everything in these large glass jars , flour, sugar, coffee, chocolate chips, corn meal, etc. +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 . +The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables . +Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. +For the record I had no trouble removing the blue protective film from the table top in one piece. +Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal , the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). +This Hoover vacuum was simple to put together. +Now THIS model has also STOPPED WORKING after about a year! +It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord . +I like to throw a roast with veggies in it before work and set it to cook for about 8 hours on low . +Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. +And if you live in an old house and just cannot get rid of those pantry moths no matter what you try - these are impervious to the moths finding a way in (thus the successful storage of the flour and sugar ). +I finally found the RIGHT ONES….instead of buying these PLEASE check out the AUNT MARTHA'S 33 X 38 INCH FLOUR SACK DISH TOWELS !!!!!!!! +I typically use dish soap and a dish scrubber and then hose it down with the sprayer. +Update: I paid $14.00 for this, price JUST went up for the holidays to $19.99 - it will go back down, watch for the sales! +We bought this for use for sleepovers at his Oma's as she doesn't like keeping our son ( almost 2.5 ) 's crib up and it's a pain to put it up everytime, and now that we've converted his home crib to a toddler bed he hate's being contained.... +It's been a long time since I had a good pair of Kitchen shears and when these were offered, I jumped on them. +It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes , and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. +About six weeks after I had it while vacuuming the house, the machine would no longer turn on . +Unfortunately we just had our second machine die after only 18 months of daily use. +a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge. +But it's from China , so only time will tell if that's true. +a large family . +I acquired this wonderful griddle pan in a strange way: an awful old, thin griddle was used as a noisemaker to drive a pack of raccoons from our back yard. +Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit. +a cotton sheet. +I took an old mascara brush (cleaned well in soapy water to remove all remnants of mascara) and use it to brush between ripples in the filter to help clean it out more when I am doing using it. +I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. +It's good looking enough to keep on the countertop all the time. +This company sent me this by mistake, I had ordered an espresso machine , anyways they let me keep it at no charge. +I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. +It is of good heft (not flimsy ) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. +All that being said; I mop twice after first sweeping and vacuuming the floor. +If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. +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 assume it's curved like that to protect the user's fingers from the glass, but the result is that the carafe becomes top heavy. +When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. +It does not leave uncut areas, jagged edges, or little whiskers of metal that could fall into the food. +This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. +Probably one of the most delicious glasses I have ever had!Then the next day, I made some white chocolate cocoa. I have a huge plastic mug, so before I put the cocoa in it, I warmed up the milk in a Pyrex measuring cup with the cocoa and after removing from the microwave, frothed the bejeezus outta that cocoa!Since Dunkin' Donuts doesn't sell this delicious concoction anymore, I tried getting as close to it as possible, and the frother is the key!After holding the mug in one hand on my twenty minute commute to work the whole time sipping this decadent beverage, I came back out the car two hours later, to find out that there was foamy, frothy goodness still in the mug!Okay, so I would have given this five stars, but the idea that I can't immerse it in water kind of irks me. +I only have a few minor complaints being that it is a bit heavier and noisier than other cordless vacuums and the head is somewhat floppy. +The 1st one was damaged at the handle but as soon as I contacted Amazon about it, they very promptly (the very next morning) shipped out the replacement press with no problems. +It has an old-fashioned, mechanical ticking timer, which works fine now +It popped great corn ( organic , in my case) right out of the box (well, after cleaning, of course). +what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price ? +We have 7 inch set which is not too tall but tall enough to have a good look on the counter top and great grip and feel. +Which means it can draw up a precise amount of liquid (up to 3 oz. ) +The downward pressure from the Topper should be gently absorbed by the paper towel and light fingers pressure .Pull and release topper twice. +The water tastes strange ....so I wanted to try something to let us get great tasting water and help the environment by not buying water bottles..... +After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. +Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water , and the result tastes great. +The key is not to over mix because then the potatoes become gluey and heavy. +The wood is beautiful and eye catching. +About six weeks after I had it while vacuuming the house, the machine would no longer turn on. +Easy setup, ease of use, automatic shut off which make the safety team happy, 48-ounce removable water reservoir holds up to eight cups of water which is no problem because the "water club" and filtered water is literally two steps away. +The other aspect of the item I didn't care for was the width - it seems just a bit too wide for the proportions of depth. +Other reviewers have already said it, and I'll support all the comments ... this pot is great for homebrewing ! +The main mug is easy, but the top, with all of the mechanical elements, proves to be a little difficult and still retains a bit of a coffee aroma after cleaning.update: after using this for a couple of months, I've found the cleaning to still be difficult, however, the best remedy seems to be to fill 1/3 of the mug with hot water and rigorously shake it upside down in order to losen any remaining residue. +You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice . +It takes up a good amount of space and I have a small closet rod2. +But, mine was damaged so I did not just accept that. +The steamer always got clogged or stopped working . +Update, about a year later: The enthusiastic slicer in our family has managed to knock off one of the plastic strips , but that's easy enough to work around so doesn't create a problem. +I think it will last me a very long time. +Sleek black color, and looks to be high quality construction. +I still wish to learn the art of rolling sushi, but until then I will follow the Germans and Leifheit my way to yummy. +I clean mine occasionally out side with compressed air to get all the dog stink out of the filter housings . +Roomba has taught us tidier habits and has keep our hardwoods grime free. +I live alone , but like to bake for gifts and monthly card parties. +The max time that can be set at one time is 60 minutes , but as most things are cooked in half that time. +We have been using it regularly for several months and the non-stick surface shows no signs of wear. +Even better, the breadbox keeps our bread fresh for several days without needing to double-bag in zip-locs!Because the paper bags become a bit damp in the breadbox, I usually take the loaves out (leaving them in their individual bags) and set them on the counter to "air out" for about 15 minutes each day . +Would highly recommend Nordic Ware for its quality. +I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke . +3 qt . +and although I have a huge walk in closet, I also have a lot of clothes and shoes . +It leans to a side. I wouldn't return them! +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. +The cooking time is about the same as a microwave, and the clean up is pretty quick. I use olive oil for my popcorn. +I've always made my own yoghurt the old fashioned way for years. +I was heating a pie shell partially before adding the filling, and because of the coating on the pans , the dough on the sides shrunk down. +Even with the generous Amazon discount I would have to be feeling particularly flush to buy myself another set. +If you're expecting something like the original Beautyrest pillows with springs, you'll be disappointed . +A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board . +My old Hamilton Beach pump machine beat the pants off Starbucks using pre-ground Illy from the grocery store, but the shots from this machine are too weak . +Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian; Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian;Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good. +It cooks any meat within 5 minutes , perfectly every time. +I love the size and operation of this trash can . +This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. +I approach with wrappings from raw meat and the cover flips open on its own so I don't have to worry about touching the lid with my bacteria contaminated hands. +Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material . +The quality is good and the design is whimsical...very cute . +It works fine for holding a roaster pan, or the handle of a fry pan, but not for grabbing small items , such as a small knob on a pan cover, or a small piece of food, or picking up something small on a flat surface. +This tortilla warmer really works. +Anyway, he doesn't like covers that make noise when he moves. +Cleanup is relatively simple, the screen takes a little scrubbing with some soap but cleans up nicely, I haven't had an issue with particles being stuck in the grating, it's all come out very easily with hot water .Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect juicer, it doesn't exist but for a centrifugal, this is definitely on top. +Still love the homemade ice cream, but do have to admit you get best results if you use it often enough to remember what works well. +Almost every time we've used this blender, we go to pour the blended drink into a glass only to find that there's a small amount of liquid escaping through the bottom of the pitcher . +I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly! +I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. +My Salad Shooter (I cheated) is from a yard sale, so it only cost a couple of dollars. +NONE of the outside surfaces get hot, even on high, and if it is picked up or tipped the safety tab on the bottom cuts it off instantly, so it is very safe for the kids and animals to be around. +Can't say about durability as I haven't had for long but so far so good. +My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches . +They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. +( works great on floors- medium success with carpet so if you have carpet this may not be your solution). +Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. +wasteful.there is a lot of juice left over in the machine the feed hole is pretty smallmessy/awkward to get pulp out of pulp collectorlots of difficult cleanup = time consuming. +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. +But if you want to fill the whole cup with smoothie or something harder (like bananas ) it doesn't fit. +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. +We have managed to run the mice back outside (for this winter, at least) where they belong, and because of these jars, my winter pantry remains intact! +The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid . +Bottom line: the coffee tastes great , the machine operates easily, and for those who need that first cup ready when stumbling into the morning kitchen, a real winner. +These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine. Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +To be honest, I wish I can give this Jumbo Muffin Pan 10 stars. +but mostly for drinking water . +I will never use this for a drink that has milk because I don't see a way to effectively clean the lid. +These bumps don't impact the function of the scoop , but they certainly don't look that great. +I returned the grinder for that reason. +But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers .I would say that it's easy to dent. +its colored buttons looks cooler than white. +It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. +We just purchased a new gel foam mattress which was highly rated by Consumer Reports through Costco. +Right out of the box we knew this wouldn't work - they are too loud . +It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick , but it doesnt come apart. +The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. +I figured it did not have to be great because it was not actually going to be a business desk , and honestly did not expect much. +These filters are pure white , leave no paper taste, hold up well (important when you're dumping grounds) and have a nifty little finger tab that makes the filter easy to open. +well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea. +Again, when I decided to look for a toaster, it must be practical and the price would be reasonable,too . +The rubber handle is too thick and bulky to hold comfortably, and there is not enough flex in the blade to assist with proper flipping. +As an added bonus, I guess because the motor is so powerful, the mixer is relatively quiet - not the sort to break your eardrums. +I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). +I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing. +When I first saw this knife, I was surprised, since I didn't realize Victorinox made kitchen knifes. +I much prefer my Farberware Pro Silicone Grabbers. +It runs at a slower speed so you need to cut your vegetables smaller. Overall a great product, very easy to clean up makes using it a pleasure and not a pain. +But I don't find that it cooks the muffins as nicely as in the oven, the bottoms tend to be rather hard and I find the muffin comes out "denser" if you will than normally. +The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. +It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine . +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 . +Only had them for a couple days so far but I am very picky when it comes to pillows - I tend to roll around a lot and sleep on side/back/stomach whatever I feel like at the moment. +This unit is very well constructed, streamline designed distiller that will seamlessly fit in any over-gadgeted kitchen (like mine).Living in AZ , the water here is full of dissolved minerals. +I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. +I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace , my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! +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. +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) +I've had this for 5 months . +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 first seasoned the pan with a small amount of oil like the instructions stated. +Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks. +I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it . +It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events . +so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press . +I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get . +AND as an unforeseen added bonus, the bright cheerful yellow color has made it extremely easy for my blind-as-a-bat boyfriend to find. +Amazon customer service was excellent , as I had to return the first Braun due to excessive beater wobble and a funky motor, but a replacement was sent immediately. +It was very easy to install as the placement of the wall brackets along the length of the track are adjustable, so you can make sure you're getting the brackets into wall studs. +I have a lot of purses that take up shelf room. +I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them . +The grind size was always inconsistent , no matter how many beans I put in the grinding bowl. +Here in Houston , with water that reads about 215-230, a filter lasts a little longer than one month. +We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. +I suppose it will save on having to start your oven, and the muffins do cook faster and cleanup is quicker . +I love mason jars. I don't can any homemade jams or jellies or pickles, but I juice and then separate it into single servings in mason jars. +I am really thrilled to own these. +For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall . +I just wish that these were more nest-friendly , to save on storage space and save the hassle of sorting through a stack of 3/4 containers to get the right sized one out or put it away. +But here is the kicker: You can eat TWO cups of popcorn for only 30 CALORIES AND NO CALORIES FROM FAT.Win!Nearly 90 percent less fat than regular popped popcorn .So +That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew , or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. +I have had the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan for a couple of months now, and received the matching lid about a month ago. +Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it. +This Bissell solved by objections to bagless uprights. +I LOVE this Sunbeam model. +Another great attribute of this mug is that it does not sweat , so your desk stays dry if you're using it at work. +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. +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 worst part is, PUR said it's not covered under warranty because it's a "wear and tear" item. +I have already owned a couple of similar chopper/dicers . +The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle . +Just the right size , fairly thick plastic, and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. +So I'll go four stars , even though I did not think "why hasn't somebody come up with this before" as I often do with OXO Good Grips tools and gadgets. +For the price, it just can't be beat, I compare it to my microwave as the two items all kitchens need. +(I have Samsung Galaxy s4 and it fits great, with EASY access. +It's certainly more pleasant and less messy to use than a standard mop , though I'm not sure it's any more effective. +It was even louder - the clicks could be heard in the next room over! +5 STARS!!!! +A friend suggested a memory foam topper to see if it would make a difference. \ No newline at end of file
