A very good value for the price too. +I received it on a Friday , discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday. +i believe you have to cook atleast two cups of rice, but the cups are smaller cups (i believe a 3/4 cup measuring). +After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later). +The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is that the one I had used before had a drain tube which was nice. +Update Oct. 31, 2011OK, it's been 2 years and I've changed the batteries once. +When we got our new Bissell , we vacuumed one room and ONE room filled the canister. +Bought this over a month ago because I am so tired of using a hand can opener when I spend a lot of time cooking for a large family. +2013 . has held its air since dec. and it is now march. +It works like a charm when you are traveling and it sits right next to you on the nightstand in the hotel. +We have a pretty good sized condo and he can't do the whole place at once. +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 . +I do not have the great Emeril's signature on my version; I bought mine in Canada but it is the same machine. +I love the ring that holds the bags, I have never had one slip off. +These beautiful stainless steel steak knives come in an elegant ebony box with gleaming chrome hinges and clasp. +** Update 9/4/13 : taking off a star. +After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool. +The battery compartment is hard to open .Other than those 3 issues, I'm happy with my opener. +My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that there is no recipe booklet . +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. +I did lose some of the juice from the pressure of the cutter, but not a lot. +The coating on the racks are textured and not smooth to help shoes from sliding and the adjustable racks help accomodate different types of shoes. +I had a little trouble hooking the plastic pieces onto the hose but finally figured out they need to go counterclockwise. +The 40 -minute runtime is accurate. +The pot's outside is entirely enameled and the bottom is flat , so it could be used on a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches. +The Hoover is very well made, and to my surprise, right here in the USA . +I was very pleasantly surprised with this product and the pricing is comparable . +I purchased the companion pepper grinder today. +The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out. +On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble. +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. +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. +One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly... +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! +Alarm is mild , wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. +a second one . +Remember it is 6 1/2 quarts . +ooh yes, a nice cup a joe! this cup is so solid i swear if it fell on your foot you will cry. +3 qt . +I have 3 cats and one dog and it cleans up even pet hair incredibly. +I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. +I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. +Anyway, he doesn't like covers that make noise when he moves. +I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. +They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. +So I came back and ordered a second set! GREAT! +you have to take the eggs out individually and put them in this container. +We highly recommend this unit with the Melita cone shaped paper filters . +In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good. I was afraid of messing it up and it took me a long time to meticulously scrub it with Bon Ami after using it to cook a small turkey, a roast beef and a duck (not together of course).For aspiring Martha Stewart's there is an easy fix. +That is the most relavant issue and this pan excels with vigor . +I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. +My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?) +Even though it's plastic, it seems durable , in addition to being dishwasher safe. +I bought this Lodge, Grill / Griddle expressly for use on a Coleman stove. +I was a little surprised that the legs don't lock into place (at least not that I can find), so you'll have to use both hands to hold the legs in place while sitting the cooling racks on the counter or stacking them onto each other. +They are no longer made using borosilicate glass , and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality. +Our last blender was glass, and that's why we decided to go with plastic . +I wish the suction for hair is a little better, though. +I also have had people who are skinny and they have said it was the most comfortable folding chair they have sat in too. +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 . +In fact, I just might take my good, old time deciding if I really need t replace that old ( 25 years ) fan or not! +In actuality, the dinnerware is attractive and seems fairly heavy . +I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. +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. +This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler , as they claim it to be. +And the nicest part is that I control what goes in . +They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. +We found the Apple Peeler on sale at a home store and bought it on an impulse. +Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it. +BUT they were SO soft! I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. +I BOUGHT 2 OF YHESE CUBES . +It can take on whole frozen fruit and within seconds turn it into a wonderful smoothie. +I've wanted to have a juicer for a long time, but was discouraged becasue of the prices . +I used flour tortillas that were 8" and they worked perfectly. +I ordered it on a Friday and it arrived by Fedex Tuesday. +Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two. +The steam can be a bit of a surprise when you get a little careless. +Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens . +a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! ... +We have had this for the past 2 years - its been our second one by Shark and we really like the set up. +My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one. +The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. +Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell . +No sticking, no hassles . +This is the one plus over the Cuisinart . +While nothing will keep an open bottle of wine forever, the Vacu Vin extends the life of the wine for up to a week . +Just the right size , fairly thick plastic, and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. +I previously used more expensive coffee maker that did not last whole year. +The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal . +I only used it once but I believe these pads clean better than the ones that came with the steamer. +I tried new batteries with no success. +Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high , it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. +This tortilla warmer really works. +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1.I eat yogurt every day so usually make a batch and half every weekend. +I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. +So with new filter I am figuring there is some kind of leak in the construction so a large amount of tap gets through. +I wish it would be just a bit taller so that dresses won't hang so close to the floor (it is about 4 feet tall). +We followed the instructions, and the waffles were crispy outside and nice inside. +While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable . +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. +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. +I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey , in slow cookers! +in comparison to her tempur-pedic mattress she said that when my dad was on the bed she felt a weight shift and her side of the bed tighten, where as in her bed having someone lay next to her did not affect stiffness of her side of the bed.for roughly $180 for a full sixzed bed, i cant complain especially since its for my guest room. +I'd say the price is appropriate for the product and not a bargain. +my coffee cabinet . +It is really 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 X 8 1/2 which was what I really wanted anyway but is much smaller than advertised. +This is a fanatic kit that offers everything you need to make beer besides the ingredients and the bottle caps. +the cages are much sturdier than i imagined they would be. +However, the first time I used this, a day after using the Swiffer, the dirty water in the collection tank was black ! +They are sharp and make clean cuts . +But it's a utilitarian object to me--so although the magnets don't contact the blades perfectly, they do well enough to hold my large Henckels chef's knives with no problem. +Good capacity - 14 cups and also has a setting for a small brew; it's easy to fill and the pot does not drip (hooray!)Looks and feels like quality -- it has a sort of "retro" +The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless , according to the information stamped on the bottom. +I have SO much more space now and everything is neat and sealed. +I fixed over 10 vanes and they are all working perfectly (we have a LOT of vertical blinds).Great product! +If no update you can assume it's working great a year later.(Note: we have not tried it on potatoes .) +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. +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. +However, this machine is amazing . +The spatula is a little stiff and the labels for the measurements on the measuring spoons and cup are hard to read. +I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. 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 wouldn't put them in the dryer because if they shrink , they are not going to fit. +I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. +The silver colored base extends a tad further all the way around and provides a very solid support. +I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. +Drying took a little extra time but it emerged from the dryer in great shape with no bunching. +So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed. +I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. +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. +Shortly after I received the hot pot, the spring hinge of the lid stopped springing. +I bought this fan a year ago when my elderly dog couldn't handle temperature in the house greater than 75 degrees. +It warped; and I was faithfully wiping it with cutting board oil after each use, and I never submerged it into the water. +Its easy to clean. Wipe and done. +So, we have to keep it plugged in for it to be available when we need it. +It's simple to put together, simple to use and not really bad to clean up . +Cooking grade silicone with a sturdy metal handle, just the right size slots, and easy to hold and control. +The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. +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. +a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend. +The " keep warm " feature is also great since I've been making a larger pot of tea, and then coming back for refills on days and afternoons when I'm at home or on the weekends. +My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. +You just toss them on the floor and set your Haan Slim & Light on top of them and they stick. +I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element .....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue! +The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height. +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. +I was sure I would love it...and I do love the way it looks on my stainless steel stove , but that is about it. +Quick, sleek, responsive . +This is a reasonably priced toaster that does a fine job on toast, bagels, and English muffins . +The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. +After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out . +It is cute too, washes easily, Dip-It cleans the residue that accumulates over time. +Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage , and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices. +Yes, perhaps the construction doesn't match the price which I do feel is a little steep , but the table gives you room, comfort and ease which is a real plus. +so it can't go in microwave . +My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. +A poured glass takes half an hour to settle. +I always felt that the traditional napkin holder is one of those products you just can't really improve on, much like the paper clip. +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. +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. +but I still like these because they are easy to drink out of without having to slide or flip a lid opening while driving . +I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years . +My recipe: 10 lbs pork shoulder2 lbs bacon (unsliced)2 lbs ultra-sharp cheddar (shredded)2 tbs ground fennel2 tbs ground corriander2 tbs ginger1 tbs ground mustard1 tbs chili powder2 tbs red flake pepper1/4 cup watersprinkling of saltUse natural hog casings and your all set. +I am going to keep it and do like it very much! +Moreover, it is large enough to hold more than a few items . +I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. +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 . +All the wooden dowels have a smooth, painted white coating that is easy to wipe clean. +The photo shows a shower curtain with metal grommets . +I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that! +I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it . +Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive. +What I like best about these is the oval shape that really does fit into tight places. +A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board . +Grout gets slightly cleaner, but works best if pretreated with a detergent .The number of attachments is both a blessing and a curse because with versatility comes the inability to store this machine anywhere. +I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +If I had to give up one - it would be the upright, so if you don't have either and cannot decide - the cannister will fill all your needs, whereas the upright is only really good for main areas and open spaces . +It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. +I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. +The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. +The filter is amazing, looks awesome, and quiet . +It is rare that I give 5 star reviews, but this grill is a really fun little gadget. +It fits perfectly in my oval roaster pan . +I ended up with this based on reviews and price and Im so glad I did. +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. +The office where I work has a "coffee club" which means for a set monthly price you get generic watered down coffee . +I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking , but I'm very glad I did. +It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. +I was only buying two gallons of bottled water per week , but this has already paid for itself in less than a year. +;-) Ours is near a high-traffic area in the kitchen but is tucked back enough so it doesn't over-react to passing bodies. +Highly recommended! +I use it mostly for toast and a little bit of broiling , and it works great!The only thing I'm taking a point off for is the timer. +This is a passive dehumidifier; you will not be pumping gallons of water out of your air every week. +I purchased the 13 piece set and was wowed! +It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book. +I can wear it on my shoulder . +you will not be able to "squeeze" the liquid out as you would with a traditional can opener. +I recently bought a nice ( red ) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. +Really quiet , i never notice it at all when it is on the Hi or Low setting. +I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it . +The measurements on these cups are on the handle and made of raised plastic so they won't wash off. +The softness and texture of a towel are the utmost importance to me. +I've owned two, both less than a year old . +He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill. +Overall, this was the best $80 I've ever invested in my culinary education! +Best still the knives can be washed in my dishwasher . +The cord is very short so you will need an extension cord to use. +It's solidly constructed and hefty without being heavy , and the high sides make grease spatters almost non-existent. +a plastic chemical smell to it. +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'm returning it because the arm that holds the roller is very crooked , as one reviewer noted, and I know that will bug me - every time I'd look at it I'd see that crooked arm. +this cup is so solid i swear if it fell on your foot you will cry . +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 recentlyput my own gas barbecue together----maybe that's why it didn't look hard. +This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be , so it wasn't as easy to carry. +I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them, I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great , I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier. +I have a 80 pound Staffordshire Terrier. +Oh, and I had another one crack by itself due to temperature differences (it was in the fridge). +that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again . +What the heck! the lights still work (and they have a separate pull chain ! +The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. +The ceramic blade worked well enough but the entire body of the thing flexed when in use. +While the comforter is not soft enough it looks and feels good (it is also very light), the same cannot be said about the sheets which feel cheap to the hand. +The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. +you can save on some batteries , even though the draw is minimal as I use this thing a lot and am still on the same battery (thankfully it only uses 1 AAA and comes with it). +They are cold water machine washable and the shade of red is very lovely. +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 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. +I've had this coffee maker for couple of weeks now and so far it has worked great. +I wish it fit in my sink for easier cleaning, but it's about an inch too wide to fit inside either side of my two bowl sink. +I bought two of these mugs, one with a handle, one without. +I've been using this frying pan for a few months. +The beauty of these spatulas being one piece is that there are no crevices for food to get trapped in, promoting food poisoning or cross-contamination. +We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill. +These glasses, like the 2 oz are beautiful, and are wonderful for hot drinks, such as lattes, and cold drinks, such as bourbon .I have arthritis which sometimes effects my ability to pick up heavy (?) objects, such as a coffee cup. +The shorter, wider design of the Bodum makes it easier to get the coffee grounds in and out, and it's not tippy like the Frieling. +The mini dehumidifer is sufficiently small and lightweight to use in any room. +This kettle has a French press setting . +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. +i don't like using vinegar and water either as i think it leaves the floors looking dull. this steamer works, but there are better ones out there. +This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. +This truly makes great margarita's , better than any bar we've been to so don't hesitate to pull the trigger. +may cause cancer or reproductive damage . +I was just looking at the lid again and noticed that all the three screws rusted badly. +I put eight 4-place dinner settings, 3 wire whisks, a large can opener, tongs, peeler, 4 sharp knives, a big strainer ladle, measuring spoons, basting brush and more in it. +The base and fan parts are plastic , and the pole is metal. +Essentially, I there $40 down the drain and my kids, who love waffles, are going to be devastated. +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. +I've decided to keep glass mayo jar lids as an alternative. +It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. +Bought these as a gift for a couple moving from the deep south to Chicago . +I found that this is the only way to keep silverware looking brand new as opposed to the silverware stored in the kitchen drawer and is used daily that shows some knicks here and there for obvious reasons. +And for proper install, you would also have to buy pipes and valves that would let you bypass the filter in order to swap it out. +This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. +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. +This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder . +Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor. +Containers are solid and glass and are quality items. +The only downside is it is not a very deep spoon so saucy items and soup-based items are not a good match. +I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall +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. +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. +The salt and pepper shaker are easy to refill and also easy to clean. +but I was having problems with it within 2 months . +I have been using my mat for about three weeks now and am very impressed. +I have an "old fashioned" stove with electric burners versus the new-fangled smooth top ranges. +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. +These smaller ones seem to take forever to turn pink even with a fair amount of humidity. +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. +Amazingly it comes out skin free . +I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use, I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker. +I may have over boiled the milk by a bit, but it still came out beautiful ! +a sporting goods store and some beverage centers as well, unlike Soda Stream which aren't compatible with the systems the previous mentioned venues offer, or you need to be a chemist to try and refill yourself! +I bought this unit mainly for grinding dry spices . +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. +I hung it on the side of the bookcase in the family room ...I liked it well enough to drill two small holes in the bookcase to mount it. +so I'm giving it a 4 , rather than a 3, +My daughter recently graduated college, and for Christmas she asked for a set of mixing bowls . +The steam vents are plenty and quite powerful . +I have other stainless pots & pans & with this one the heat level is much higher when handling it. +Didn't know serving spatula's existed but I wasn't surprised. +The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents . +Milk, Half and half etc all worked perfectly for us. +I bought a gallon jug of white vinegar and I spent about an hour or two flushing the machine with pure vinegar. +Just a few words of warning:This is the same exact unit that keeps popping up over and over again with a new brand name slapped on it (aka Mammoth Air or New Comfort) that still has no warranty information whatsoever AND DOESN'T WORK as an air purifier...all it really does is move some air around... +The size of this screen fits all my skillets. Heavy enough to stay put on the skillets. +Nothing says redneck like mason jars, except maybe duck tape. +The wall gets warm but not too warm , I can touch the panel +I deep fry and the oil is expensive so I reuse it but it needs to be strained. +Overall I am happy with these tongs, I will just plan to use them for much smaller items in the future. +The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there. +It's safe and free of chemicals and plastics, really good at repelling liquids and makes NO NOISE when you lay on it. +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. +Does not work well for getting under things and the Hose/attachments are not great, but does a wonderful job on carpets and BARE FLOORS (do not know why others had problems, but works for us.) +Works just fine, nothing slips . +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 cook large meals for just myself and these are the perfect size to make freezer meals I can take out to heat in the microwave for dinner. +I'd ordered Pike Street towels from Amazon previously and been very pleased by how soft, absorbent, and full they were. +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. +This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive . +It seems to have plenty of power -- it picks up small rocks with no problem. +I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. +My only complaint is the small size of the cups, and I about never use the saucers , but that's a matter of taste, and there are other sets available. +I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. +I love my microplane , so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love this Cusipro Fine Rasp Grater as well! +Because of this, we have been using the Nordic Ware bowl and then immediately transferring the popped kernels to another serving bowl. +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 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven , and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line. +This is a very nice bamboo kitchen utensil set. +We keep Parmesan cheese in ours, to seal it for freshness we place a plastic sandwich bag over the top and secure it with a rubber band . +When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. +Very Strong, awesome construction. +The first thing we love about Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is the fact that its from nature and helps support greener living. +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. +I broke my sworn promise to only purchase U.S. manufactured products , but it does appear to be made much better than most things made in China. +So I will be without a bed for over two weeks and then I wonder once they fix it will it be broken again in another few months . +I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey. +I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago +I've always made my own yoghurt the old fashioned way for years. +I love this kitchen scale ! +You'd be so much better off with the smallest size Benriner from Japan like this oneBenriner Japanese Mandoline Slicerand this to protect your fingersMicroplane 34007 Kitchen Cut-Protection Glove. +Overall I'm really happy with it . +Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. +very well built although it might be difficult to manage whale putting together if you are someone who is not familiar with assembling something like this but that being said about the only thing you need that would help a lot when assembling this would be a simple rubber mallet so you could tap the shelves into place and this would be much easier to assemble if two or more people were doing it +Reliability is a hit/miss I'm guessing. +This is a 5 star winner for sure! +They have lately branched out into the bathroom , to very good effect. +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 know $100.00 is not much for a good machine, but I still think that's alot of money and now also a big waste of my time. +I purchased it in three sizes, the 9-1/2", the 12" and the 16". +I recommend using this with the duvet clips available on Amazon to keep the devet aligned witht he cover. +My favorite words in the English language are " dishwasher safe." +These plates have been dropped, handled roughly when being loaded in the dishwasher and so far, in the four years we've been using them, we've only lost one or two items. +The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price . +This set of 4 Jumbo 18oz Wide-mouth Soup & Cereal Ceramic Coffee Mugs are a great example. +This one is great. The metal seems very sturdy. Its attractive and it has 6 separate sections to put stuff in. +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 grind size was always inconsistent , no matter how many beans I put in the grinding bowl. +I purchased this steam mop because I love "clean" , but hate the time it takes to get there. +I really like this version of collapsable colander . +I mainly use it in the morning to transport my coffee to work +Anyone can apparently claim they use memory foam . +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. +I bought this just about a year ago when undergoing a kitchen renovation when I needed some way of cooking other than a microwave and b/c I had no stove on which to cook .It is not for the faint at heart to set a slow-cooker for 8 hours, in your dining room no less, and then go off to work for the next 8 hours. +I've had this kettle for almost a year now and I am glad I have decided to buy it despite the bad reviews. +Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd. +The 1-cup and 2-cup Pyrex measuring cups are indispensable in the kitchen. +I hate sweeping but enjoyed using this little vacuum . +Long cord, easy to fill with water, steam in 30-seconds, two levels of steam, even distribution of steam, light weight, no hand pumping, swivel head for tight spots, pad attaches easily. +Maintains performance & efficacy after repeated washings up to 200 Fahrenheit .Sleep +and is still going strong - and I love just tossing it into the dishwasher (in the 'lock' position, of course) when I'm done. +The knife has a hard plastic handle, which molds naturally to the shape of my hand. +For a <$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. +First it does the very basic of what it should- keep food from splattering everywhere . +But hopefully it will last a few years . +It seems to be durably made so I hope that means it will last me forever! +These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. +The key is not to over mix because then the potatoes become gluey and heavy. +I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours ). +This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. +The wheels are good and sturdy as well. +a light vacuum to use that would be quick to get the job done. +Bought this pan about a month ago , and have been using it constantly. +I bought this because I'd been wanting to try a salad spinner , but didn't want to spend a lot. +I can cook food on conventional stove, electric grill, or microwave faster and more efficient than this oven. +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. +It's worth it to me to use this, even though the charge doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes . +It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill. +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. +*************************** December 24, 2013 Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. +Tested tap water was 184 . +It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. +I replaced the chord and it works well again. +I bought this at a big box store , which thankfully is not too far from my home, as it had to be returned before using it. +As long as your expectations are appropriate (you're paying $80 as opposed to hundreds for a dehumidifier that does real work [I mean that in a physics sense]), I think you'll be satisfied. +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. +The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. +And it looks like a fun way to make cute cookies , but you can't use just any recipe since a soft consistency of the dough is important to getting it to work properly. +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +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. +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. +the morning , I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes. +I bought this not for my kid's lunch , but as an ice pack for my head. +However it does superbly with loose tea . +Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner. +If you are using actual cooking utensils with longer handles, however, this spoon rest falls short. +This means that it's OK for cookies, but if I want to roast potatoes on it and smear it with olive oil, it's going to leave a mess in my pan. +It locks closed and seems sturdy . +This blower truly does beat cans of air..it blows them away !! +I buy good, strong coffee beans (and LOVE the Tully's K cups that our Costco stocks) +I think I only paid about $10 for this at Linens n Things when I first purchased it, so I can't say that it wasn't $10 well-spent. +I'm using it in a large, draughty room, and it's inadequate , in spite of being labelled a "Large Room" heater. +Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top, the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. +Grommets, hangers and rod are all stain/rust free and the curtains are doing the job they were designed to do. +However, the square slot just to the right of it is a little too close, so the edge of the knife comes into contact with the plastic handle of my honing steel unless I'm super careful. +It works great with soy milk too. +I use a lot of recipes from the internet , and this is the ideal way to store those print out sheets of paper. +Perfect for spaghetti eis, a dessert I had in Germany . +I cook every night for a family of 5 . +My husband liked it alot. +Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. +This is an amazing product - When I ordered it I was concerned that because if was queen/king it would be stretched to the hilt to fit around my king-sized bed - but not the case - Plenty of room to spare - and it was long enough for my extra-deep mattress. +The unit produced enough steam, but it was not hot . +But over time the plastic stems start to bend and create clogs in the block due to repeated use by putting your knives in. +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. +Got this one for xmas and it was damaged, but amazon return was super easy. +The primary drawback and reason for my 3-star rating is the mediocre insulation . +Some have complained about not toasting one side , I read the directions before use and it explained all of the things that were discussed in the reviews negatively. +It died and even without a receipt, Sunbeam replaced it based on the Mfg. code. +However if you don't have pets who jump up on the table and want a basic tablecloth you can wipe clean this will work. +I enjoy using this vacuum . +I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart). +I own two of this size which really come in handy on fried potatoes, bacon and egg weekends. +Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience. +I use this in a basement closet that is isolated from the rest of the basement (which is treated by a larger dehumidifier. +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. +I like that it comes with a separate canister vac instead of having on-board tools, as most current vacuums have. +Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. +This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. +Both the utensil cubbies and the bases of the little posts in the drain bottom get slimy and lately, collect dark crud . +I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . +I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders . +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. +but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. +I will use it 1-3 times a day. +it actually keeps drinks hot or cold . +If you stay put while you sleep, get this! +It's good for those who don't mind waiting but for the price, you may as well use a regular coffee pot. +What's more, shop the various suppliers on the Amazon site as I got these 4 beauties for around $11 total! +After removing the screws, I found that the yellow battery case lid is glued to the bottom of the case. +I'm pretty happy with it, I just kind of wish it was a larger comforter. +I thought if we washed it , it would be better. +Got a friend to make some different grinds of Intelligentsia Black Cat with his burr grinder, but some were too coarse and some too fine . +I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. +I'm in major organization-mode for my house right now and my cabinets where the first to receive attention. +It has a solid metal construction and a chrome finish, with options for hanging it over a door or directly mounting it to a wall . +The cord does not stretch out straight enough so you have to contend with the cord curling .I +but hey, I guess all the manufacturers do that. These containers are really nice as they come in the perfect sizes and the lids/containers are extremely durable. +The light is too bright . +So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed. +The iron has a 30 second turn-off safety feature that activates when the iron is left on horizontally, and an 8 minute turn-off when the iron is left on vertically. +When I received the sheets I immediately washed them and put them on the bed . +Pour a drink and do the shot unless you are using a chilled beverage your glass will start melting instantly . +It's just right for warming up small to medium sized rooms . +It is good and above average , note that Amazon itself suggests to use this for the "guest room, a dorm room, or a first-time apartment", this should give you an idea of what to expect. +However, I'm returning it because of the cord . +So far, I have "fried" chicken that came out great - crispyon the outside and moist on the inside . +I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw , 50 X 70 inches. +A full 48oz tank lasts long enough for me to do the entire large kitchen floor thoroughly. +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. +I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to juice limes or lemons regularly. +I say neutral because I am a total newbie when it comes to steaming clothes, so I really have no idea if these issues are due to my technique, this steamer, or all steamers in general. +Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. +But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful . +One of my ove gloves was getting ratty and old and i tossed it . +Instead of feeling soft, they feel kind of nubby when rubbed. +This one is better because of the generous compartments and the padding that keeps things from moving and rattling. +Note: It takes a little more than an hour to cook brown rice in this thing. +The openings go all the way down to the bottom , so as long as a knife fits into a slot, the length won't be a problem. +I bought one of these because of the very positive reviews many people have left. +The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning 4. +This is our first time with a DO and have found there is a little bit of a learning curve to make sure you don't overcook items. +I have used it on all sizes, from tiny cans of tomato paste to the giant 128 oz cans of tomatoes and it has worked flawlessly with all of them. +There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types . +Yes, it takes a minute to dump the grounds and clean the pot. It's more than worth it. +I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal . +a daughter a couple of years ago and have wanted one for myself ever since. +Just hold down the button and off it goes. +I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. +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. +Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now! +it would probably be great for baked mac and cheese or any casserole. it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. +I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. +The brush takes up a bit of sink counter real estate , but is very easy to handle and has held up remarkably well. +It doesn't close and it works pretty much exactly like the cup you get at a coffee house but this has a screw top lid and sealing gasket. They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. +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. +My husband wanted one with some wood, so settled on this one. +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. +It fits exactly how I need it to (thanks to the expandable feature) and has a no-slip grip for cans to sit on. +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. +I have to admit, my wife and I usually buy AllClad . +For the record I had no trouble removing the blue protective film from the table top in one piece. +The Boos Mystery Oil made the cart look better than the day I bought it. +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... +Pros: Size and shape give you the classic twelve inch width, but the stir fry depth make it virtually impossible to slosh contents over the side. +I prefer my old time trays which keep the drinks just a cold as the larger cubes. +Thanks to Against all Grain cookbook by Danielle, I bought this slicer to spiral zucchini into spaghetti noodles . +I also noticed I couldn't feel the heat from a hot beverage in my hand. +owning a bar means i have likely the worst schedule for sleeping possible . +One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed. +The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids. +Breathable cotton-like comfort resulting from unique microfilament technology .Bleach-Safe! +Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! +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... +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. +I like these spatulas for their handles . +The performance, style and noise level are all what you would expect from a Friedrich and I couldn't be happier. +This light melamine bowl is so easy to handle because it HAS a handle and you can scoop or stir with your free hand. +I generally use butter to grease them and sprinkle with fine sugar rather than flour. +I use it to boil water for hot chocolate, tea, etc. +I made 3 shakes with it last night +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. +Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch . +I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. +I bought this pan about 3 years ago . +These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. +It is amazing the liquid you can get out of produce, and it is quite tasty if you find the right mix fruit and veggies . +Plus the price is much, much lower than the universal lid I purchased. +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. +So, I purchased a topper - material-filled (down, or something like it); not foam - and it does make somewhat of a difference.. +My son is MUCH more likely to eat the food if he helped prep it! +The new Breeze features have changed a little but so far I have had no problems. +Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds . +It was on her gift registry at a chain store. +The other cool thing about these snips is they come apart for super easy cleaning. +I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste , it works great. +This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. +There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. +PS: Hats of to the supplier because I received my order in TWO DAYS ... +(And the fact it's cheaper plastic means you really shouldn't set it on your stove top but on the counter next to your stove which, again, kind of defeats the purpose, eh?) +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. +It is WAY too small and they could have made it hold more water. +It seems to be high-quality wood , and looks very nice in the drawer. +Yes it's rather big - the base is 4" front-to-back and 3" side-to-side - +Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away ) +Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils ! +It seems to conduct heat very well, so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE ! +Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. +Looking at newer toaster ovens I've noticed that most are too large and bulky .I loved this toaster oven and am seriously considering getting another since I was so happy with it for so long. +All 6 were in perfect shape and shipped well. +the dogs have knocked it over for me, when all three decided to assist me in the tub-scrubbing adventure I was apparently enjoying without them. +We ordered one set of these to try them out. +It is the best timer I have ever used even though it is very small in size, it is an excellent produce that works very efficiently. +I haven't had one rust issue. +It is way too small to have much utility . +I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. +This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. +It comes with screws and anchors, and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. +The color that I chose was amazing , and I believe it's a MUST for every family to have. +I think 1 cup Clorox per gallon water and then rinsing in tap water works better and does not leave an odd taste.- If you live in a warm climate and use the carboy, you should google how to make an airlock run off before brewing (this is something that happens with carboys and has nothing to do with the kit) +It fit our king size mattress perfectly and my sheets slid on without a problem. +After 15 minutes of vacuumng, I'll still be cleaning the little balls up for days. +It will take all of 4 lbs of chocolate to get this flowing properly +I think it would be much better if this were made from stainless steel or heavy duty aluminum . +For that, it is perfect- covers the deep mattress well, seems to be resistant to liquids seeping through, and isn't too "plastic" feeling (has a nice, thin terry cover). +I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. +Sure enough, the pan had a 2-inch warp to it. +It's all one piece, and easier to clean than the ones with the gasket. +Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. +For the price, it just can't be beat, I compare it to my microwave as the two items all kitchens need. +Nevertheless, the fan is rather loud and doesn't pack much punch. +I agree with other reviewers that the lids are very fragile. +Now that I have used this, I wonder why I never bought one of these before...they make so much sense!I like to bake healthy muffins mad it always takes so long for them to cool. +I have great comfort that this will protect the mattress from his reckless sleeping body . +well written instructions /pictures. +I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. +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. +As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. +After using it for a year , my opinion is beginning to change. +Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. +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 red color is very festive but since there is no specific holiday motive, it can be used year-round. +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. +Half gallon of milk fits great. +I ordered this wine cellar to replace one that had stopped working. +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. The quality? +I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members. +THERE IS AMPLE SIDE & BOTTOM EDGE "HANG-DOWN" ....I USE IT UNDER A QUILT WITH BEDSKIRT +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. +My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans. +I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue , but that's where it ends. +There is no control to set the temperature. +I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole . +It gets the job done, for basic microwaving tasks . +The handles and bottom are rubberized and make it quiet when you drop it in the sink. +All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7 . +The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. +After these arrived, my husband saw them on the kitchen counter and asked why I had them. +I'm not sure I need all the spoons it came with but it's nice to be able to share with a friend, I guess :) +Worth the extra few bucks . +The coating inside looks like a plastic , and I haven't wanted to risk melting. +Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. +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. +I'm a big fan of Cuisinart cooking products , There pots and pans are top notch, and these cooking utensils are no exception. +So I saw this online by accident and thought that I should give it to her as a gift. +The desk arrived within days , to which I was very pleased. +It is so nice to have a lid that goes on and comes off easily; it's rubberized , so it almost lays on. +We have a little alcove where our chinchilla lives and we decided to get a window A/C unit for her during a recent 90 degree spell. +Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes .3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4) +We keep them in the corner of the closet so they are out of the way until we need them. +They have velcro pads on the back . +The nuts don't grind evenly . +Bought this for my 21 month old and actually to make it easier for myself as I now have all his snacks in one place while we are on the run +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. +There are no ridges or markings in the cups or spoons for dirt to hide. +Cook them, then dehydrate them, and store them in a jar - that's how I make them, and this tool is fun to use! +It is easy to move in tight areas . +I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. +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 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 best part is the stain and wrinkle resistance of the fabric . +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. +On top of that my husband wanted black sheets. +We purchased 2 of these to use in a temporary home this summer. +It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. +I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine. +I really like the top view graduations on the inside of these cups, because I no longer have to kneel down to get an eye-level view of the measure. +the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar . +I just bought another one here on Amazon because the red one I have has a few cut marks about 4 or 5 inches from the tip (I think from using it as a spatula to get all of the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, etc. out of cans when I am emptying them into the pot. +I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are extremely hard to find except in some specialty stores. +Everything has held up well so far. +My recipe:10 lbs pork shoulder2 lbs bacon (unsliced)2 lbs ultra-sharp cheddar (shredded)2 tbs ground fennel2 tbs ground corriander2 tbs ginger1 tbs ground mustard1 tbs chili powder2 tbs red flake pepper1/4 cup watersprinkling of saltUse natural hog casings and your all set. +Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages. +Love this elegant glass mug for my tea! +It's nice and deep .I'm +The handle is solid, and a decent size ... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. +Pros:-- can cook a variety of rice and other grains (even more than its predecessors)-- extremely reliable results-- can keep rice warm for extended periods of time -- very easy to useCons:-- as with other models, the instruction book leaves a little to be desired-- very loud, annoying sounds when the rice is done. +Certainly the material is lighter and thinner , but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item. +These are gorgeous . +Like a previous reviewer, I have had this unit for six years also and experienced the pumping performance going down over the years. +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 have to hold the hose, anyway, so I just hold it where it attaches . +The knife is extremely sharp. +First of all, it is only printed on one side - the other side is white. +Great flexibility, great gripping ability, and fantastic insulation quality. +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. +The rice is always just right never over/under done .I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites. +I love my Le Parfait jars . +The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible. +One that attaches to my kitchenaid a Cuisinart machine from ages ago and the newer Ice-21 from Cuisinart. +Cover the hole with a piece of tape( I used a bit of duct tape ) then seal your jar. +These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip. +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 bought this in the hope that it would hold a queen size comforter, 2 standard shams, 2 euro shams and 2 decorative pillows - that's all I wanted it to hold. +I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). +I then put the container in the fridge to cool. +I am still searching for the best way to apply melted butter (organic, again), and will be trying some grass-fed butter oil or ghee .I like it. +It burns little domo faces into your toast. +The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. +I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks. +They fit my oversized King mattress perfectly. +So I give it a 3 star rating. +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 also put out a decent amount of heat. But it also put out a horrific plasticy type of smell. +It is as others have described-- the magnetic strips don't lay flat, and in fact are skewed in three dimensions! +This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space ( potential fire hazard ). +This faithful little egg cooker works great. +It's like having an espresso machine without having to deal with the milk steamer , which I've never had much luck with no matter how diligent I was trying to maintain them. +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 . +I expect I'll be using this for other hot beverages too. +So I've been using these -Disposable Filters for Use in Keurig Brewers - Simple Cups - 50 Replacement Filters - Use Your Own Coffee in K-cups. +Rather than buy another dome, I figured it would be better to purchase a product with a better design such as the Super Wave Oven which has a big glass bowl and a cover on top which should last longer and is easier to wash. +The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces : one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box. +It's a very nice holder - not too big and not too small. +We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun! +They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another. +The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. +Very happy with my Roomba 560 . +I had gotten this because I wanted to have water for tea and hot chocolate available without using a microwave. +AT FIRST WAS VERY UNSURE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. +The cord is too short . +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... +This blender deals with ice in an incredible way, Perfection!The beautiful cookbook that comes with it makes me daydream about some of the tasty sounding recipes and I'm hoping to try some of them out, but first... another tasty beverage made in this powerful blender is in my near future. +It takes 5-10 minutes to brew a full pitcher, which is then ready to drink right away, nice and chilled. +Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC , fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock! +Do try cooking your spaetzle in Knorr's vegetable stock - the gel in a little pot - it is so delicious! +There was no issue in getting it replaced, they sent a replacement within 2 days and it has worked perfectly from the start. +The package recommended that I lightly dust the mold with cornstarch but I used powdered sugar instead, with great results. +I make my food to bring to work for lunch and can't have the smell of rotting chicken eminating from the microwave in my office and this seems to happen consistenly with this rotisserie. +Who doesn't friggen love a mason jar? +I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one. +I like the cord rewind feature and the vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. +I love it so much I have purchased 2 more as gifts . +the 16oz size only at the time of purchase. +a KSM-150 ). +Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. +She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices . +$250 for this, or $1,000 for a conventional mattress/box spring with equal comfort that will be loaded with dust mites in a couple years. +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... +I purchased the "animal" version because I have two dogs . +After rubbing against my bed frame for a few months , the fabric wore down and tore! +I love this mill and have just ordered 2 more. +Turned it on full power and ran it for 4 hours before it was full , emptied container, then turned it on again for another 4 hours. +we live in an apartment with limited counter space and we've recently started eating healthier. +Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool. +The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. +Setting it up and calibrating was simple - put the batteries in and set it on a hard surface. +The packaging was easy to open, which is always a good thing, and inside there was a small piece of paper (2 1/2 x 2 1/2") with instructions for use, and for cleaning. +I do love the look of this utensil holder, but it only works well if you have it fully loaded . +The lid isn't the sturdiest , and I was initially worried that the center would not prevent leaks, but there have been no leaks through the lid and the lid seems flimsy for the sake of being easy to put on/take off. +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. +Mason jars are just the bomb diggity , what can I say? +Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. +This 16 Piece Classic White Dinnerware Set in the Wave Design is both unique and beautiful. +I am going to purchase another one, but definitely from a more reputable company .... +It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. +The only possible negative is its size makes it hard to store in a utensil drawer. +This fan does the job well and looks great on your desk without taking up too much room . +The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. +I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. +After using a Cuisinart for a year, it lost it's umph, I switched to the KitchenAid and have not regretted one moment. +Since they're clear , it's easy to see what you want right away. +You can sit on the edge of the bed, tuck in the sheets and get in and out of the beds easily (an important feature to us as we are over 60 ). +After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat. +No assembly needed just take it out the box , set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. +This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once. +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +It's easy to empty the canister, the charger doesn't have a huge footprint and isn't overly ugly, and the charger/stand also allows for vertical or horizontal storage. +I am disappointed that I have had to return it . +I had the Smith's sharpener and was ready to move on to something better. +It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery . +a European Man Bag when I shop. +I already ordered the optional serving platter and bowl and I look forward to using this during the Holiday Season. +The best thing the Starbucks travel mugs had going for them is that they did not leak , unless you screw the top on too tight; then the rubber gasket comes loose from the lid and it leaks around the gasket. +He also has trouble remembering to take outgoing mail to the mailbox, even if I place it on the table beside the front door OR stick it in between the door and doorframe so that it falls out and lands at his feet as he leaves the house. +Safety feature: grinder will not operate unless hopper and lid are in place. +The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. +Otherwise, I like the design and look of the trashcan. +The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives. +This vacuum is lightweight and pulls up lots of dust and fuzz. +The Breville heats quickly, bakes/broils/toasts quicker and more predictably than the big oven, and it doesn't turn my apartment into a sauna. +I own a Dyson , well, 2 to be honest, so compared to the Dyson, it's no where near as powerful. +I would not buy the GVS142 again. +The Hoover is much lighter and has a longer & more flexible hose but to use the handheld part, you have to manually disconnect and then reconnect the hose. +Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. +The cup is all in ml/cc 's! +I have owned this pan for 1 week . +In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. +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 ) +I see that BedVoyage also has duvet covers on Amazon and one of those will be on my next shopping list. +It does come with a 9 inch plate , but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly. +I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars , but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. +problem with it is they only give you 5 points per box and you need 100 to get something free. +As someone who's fond of making margaritas and Moscow mules, it's a lot easier when you have a citrus squeezer . +I've had mine for about two years now +It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast , but much smaller than our previous one. +Every ice cube tray I've ever had has one, or more, of these problems:1) the ice cubes do not come out whole, they crack while trying to get them out of the tray;2) I have to twist and turn hard and over and over to get all of the ice cubes out of the tray;3) the trays themselves get cracks in them from all the twisting and turning trying to get the ice cubes out. +It's a heavier gauge stainless steel than I'm used to seeing, solid and substantial in feel, but much lighter than cast iron (a real plus for me). +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 tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. +I really like this machine . +With this grinder, I load the spices in...boom, boom and boom - literally 3 pushes, I got beautiful spices ground to fine powder in about 7 SECONDS ! +We're picky so we typically bring along our own ground organic coffee when we're traveling. +Well, I'm happy to say that it fits and doesn't leak .Taste wise, the water tastes good. +I love Microplane products but this one is terrible. +The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven . +No more bagged microwave popcorn for me. +It seems silly to only be able to use half the bottle for product. +I did purchase a silicon coated flipper/turner as I did not want to use metal implements on this. +It's also pretty lightweight considering it's size. +I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. +As stated, if you use them properly they will last a very long time . +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. +I use mine as a garbage can in the kitchen and I love it. +If you're like me and you have AV equipment with multiple cable connections , then there's no way those cables will fit in the space allotted for the covers to snap into place . +Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction CooktopIt stopped heating on the outside and now as only the inside ring heats I revise my statement and say, not a good product. +I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter. +If you want mini pie pans, choose a good quality ceramic, or a metal that conducts the heat evenly . +Made three sandwiches with it, one turned out fine, but the other two were just a mess. +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 . +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. +Both are Wusthof so I would've expected the block to be designed to accommodate their products. +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 . +They easily go into the dishwasher , even when you don't have a whole lot of room, they're so flexible, they fit just about anywhere. +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. +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). +This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily ! +The push button drain feature on the Kuhn Rikon worked well for me but the locking drain feature never worked well and quickly broke. +Perhaps I just got a "dud"... also, the plastic on mine has become very sticky . +No greasing the baking sheet, no spraying it, no parchment on it . +I do my home once a month , with some manual touchups in the kitchen. +Seriously, she makes the best muffins in the known universe. +I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod. +I have had this for 3 years and I am just now thinking about getting another bread pan and paddles. +only in the early morning time .High recommended product. +Be sure to note that it specifies you should not use oil sprays (like Pam) because of buildup , and also that the cover is good only to 450 degrees in the oven. +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 . +The handles feel good , have a nice 'weight', and work well. +My Salad Shooter (I cheated) is from a yard sale, so it only cost a couple of dollars. +Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. +After further inspection, we noticed that the shaft of the paddle was striping out the metal gear of the motor . +it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. +The worst thing is it is flimsy . +It's okay for a small room. +But still I find it more convenient to just cover the food with a paper towel. You don't have to clean the paper towel, you just throw it away afterwards. +When I travel for a month I take it with me, as it is lightweight and small, and a cup of coffee per day at a cafe is $4 euros and more, and that can add up over a month. +I was searching all over the place for an extremely accurate scale and finally settled on this one. +It stays in place beautifully and requires no ironing - it was virtually wrinkle-free - I just touched it up in the dryer for a few minutes . +The forced heat feature also helps with drying. +I like the switches on the handle , and did not change the length as it worked fine for me as is. +I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie , because it works better than my blender. +I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. +That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. +The only complaint I have is that you have to be standing about six feet from the unit to get the unit to respond to the remote. +they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. +The only drawback to this and other silicone mats is that you cannot cut on it . +The lid handle transfers the heat from the pot and you WILL get burned if you don't use a pot holder of some sort. +I was impressed with how quickly the iron heated up and it steams garments vertically nicely. +I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. +Lined with light weight foam rubber, the box is impractical for knife storage . +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 . +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 used this pan the day after I received it in the mail and I could not be more pleased. +This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful . +I especially like how well it works in the bathroom . +I also dry brush the soft filter after each use. +A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users. +Let me preface this review by saying that I did receive this french press for free in exchange for my honest appraisal of this product. +Having said that, I have large hands , so someone with small hands might find these very large. +My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes . +I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband . +The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked . +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. +They are equal in speed and accuracy , although the more expensive turns itself off faster. +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 . +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. +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +For me the biggest, though very minor, inconvenience is that you can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete . +I get a plastic bag out and put the tray over it than I gently hit the tray with hammer to help the shooters come out and than I catch them in the bag (I had lots fall out and end up on the floor before i started catching them in a bag. +They handle the dishwasher just fine . +It's very sharp , at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. +This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. +One of the old trays recently broke when dropped on a sharp object , so i ordered this tray being reviewed. +I love the color . +We have now been sleeping on these beds for 2 and a half months . +For the price, features , I recommend it! +I have owned many vacuums in my life and, because they were so heavy , I hated vacuuming. +They are sharp, but not dangerously sharp like some knives I have used. +OXO GG Press Sure Corner Caddy This thing is magic! +It works well, as advertised - the weighted arm keeps napkins secure and only dispenses one at a time when a napkin is pulled. +The wire was tedious to remove . +First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. +I ordered 2 of these mitts and I love them! +They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? +There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. +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. +This allows it to drain directly into the HVAC drain line in the floor, so I never need to empty it. Take your time with drilling the hole as the plastic is a little brittle, but as long as it's sealed with silicone/teflon tape, you should be good to go! +Stainless steel is easy to clean. +I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting. +Priced right , works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. +We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. +I wrote the company to find out if the plastic used in this is BPA -free (friend of mine is obsessed with this) and was assured that it is free of BPA... this is a good quality product that I've used every day for 3 weeks. +The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold . +This Baguette pan , works wonderfully! +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. +a cooling rack , the bottoms hardened up within a minute or two. +RV'S DO NOT HAVE A GOOD OVEN FOR BAKING PIZZA . +Beaters were a bit tricky to learn to insert properly, finally found the knack for it. +Just set him off when you go out or when you are doing laundry or something. +I was looking for an old fashioned flour sack dish towel and thought I would try these +I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. +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! +the step by step instructions make it foolproof. +This is the first wine chiller that really works! +I had the plates stacked on each other and it was cumbersome to get the one you wanted. +Our household is extremely pleased with the product, and as long as the product lasts at least 2 years , it is well worth every penny. +I also used 2 TBSP of coffee per cup. +Yep, I am more than pleased with this digital scale . +The instruction pamphlet that it came with is in Japanese only so that's no help. +The rubber seal gets in the way. +I ended up purchasing three of these (think 50ish shoes including winter boots, hiking boots, high heels, sandals, flip-flop, tennis shoes...the whole gamut) and I really like them. +I have used a Vitamix in the past (one of their top of the line with lots of settings, etc.) and found that this 2-speed blender works just as well - which is to say - it works fantastic. +I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). +I've read complaints about the cord length ( 3 ft ), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. +We are VERY happy with this purchase even after two years of use. +I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. +However, it is far too big for the kitchen (as it holds about a five year supply of sea salt) and too small for a bathroom, should you wish to use it there (it holds perhaps enough salt for maybe four baths).The real problem:Not shown in the picture are large labels top and bottom, which are ugly. +I finally threw away the bunch of ugly hangers we kept around - good riddance. +I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition. +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 . +So, I bought this mold , to use as an ice cube tray. +Meat gets a nice sear at the highest setting and veggies, rice, noodles, etc. cook nicely as well . +Needless to say, we ran the Dyson over it and we no longer wish to throw it away. +I folowed the instructions and found that the coffee was very weak so I experimented with differint grinds and filter no filter. +I got the glass lid +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). +Arrived super-sharp and ready to go! Gave them a quick wash in hot, soapy water and put them with the rest of our cocktail and entertaining supplies. +but at least with the 8 D batteries, you get nearly 5 days all night (when the power goes out). +Juicing makes it easy to get my daily fruit and veggies, as well as the enzymes, minerals, vitamins, etc. +I have two of each size because larger cooking adventures of require multiple measurements and sloth or time demands often preclude prompt washing. +The only weakness in this iron is the temperature setting control , which has no indicators on it as to heat level so you kind of have to experiment with it and not turn it too hot. +I ordered 2 sets of these; the first set was fine however the second set did not include the hardware, nor was I able to get it sent to me. +Well constructed, heavy, durable...these pans provide even heat across the whole cooking area. +I wasn't wild about the crazy colors , but as knives go, they are really good. +After reading the instructions that say to let the tray stand 2 min and not fill past 3/4, the tray probably works well. +The mesh is really fine so it catches about 99% of whatever you're brewing - actually catches more than my normal coffee press. +Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible. +They are super plushy but still have a great amount of support . +The first is that while it does fit in the refrigerator, it's a little too tall . +Also try stainless straws to add to your "reusable" homeEndurance Drink Straws (set of 4)bar. +This heater would have fit perfectly where we wanted it. +Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top , the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. +It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. +You need to watch the videos on Youtube.com before you purchase to make sure this is what you want. +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. +I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor. +Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance. +I have got these peelers for a gift for 3 ppl so far and they all really like itgreat investment...check U tube for more recipes..the lady here having trouble with zucchini ...maybe she picked wrong kind of zucchini ...its got it to be bigger in size for peeler to work best !!!!!! +I checked each one and all 10 are stamped US Shelby CO . +The funnel helps me get started without spillage. +We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. +You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom . +This bread pan is exactly what it says. +Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). +It was important to find a pitcher like this that has a tight seal . +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. +I have Curculon skillets that I use on a daily basis so I was thrilled to receive this. +Right out of the box we knew this wouldn't work - they are too loud . +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. +This does not take away from the performance at all, so dont let that slow you down from buying it . +No such thing as a quick juicing before work -- you'll be spending 10 mins trying to get it to lock in place then 20 mins trying to clean up.overall, I find this machine difficult to work with. +The only positive thing I can say about this is that it LOOKS great . +The Contigo Tumbler keeps my coffee hot for hours, never drips, and seems quite rugged. +Unbelievable quality! +The lid will not go back into the can once removed. +Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer. +Got this for a birthday gift for the ultimate "griller" son in law !!! +I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. +I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord. +Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. +They did scare my daughter when she came over to use them as she has dull knives at her house and was expecting how sharp these were. +I use it for traveling with our garments we make for our business, so it stays in one place, but it would of been better if the holes would of accommodated the clothing bar. +I bought it on special sale through Amazon (where else). +I ordered the Pyrex Easy Grab Casserole specifically to heat browned/blackened seared chicken to 165 degrees in the microwave for final cooking. +I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges . +This one is great, with the strainer that comes with it. +I rarely use the second hook but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. +The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. +Controls are simple, easy to set, but a remote control would be a seriously good addition. +Really wish I got these sooner ! +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. +My guess is that she probably switched from some old Sunbeam cheapie that barely could remove the slightest wrinkles, and she got this Panasonic from me and all of the sudden, wrinkles were a thing of the past. +I nearly broke a thumbnail getting off the clear brand label on the side of the container, and I had to soak the UPC label on the bottom for an hour before I could scratch it off with one of my remaining fingernails. +I am sure it will last a long time and I will find other uses for it along with tea making . +Accessory attachments include a turbo brush and upholstery brush and extension tube , which all fit neatly on the back of the unit for storage. +will provide opportunities for small splatters to escape . +The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did! +Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer +and although I have a huge walk in closet , I also have a lot of clothes and shoes. +(And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.) +I bought this set to go with a RSVP set that I could no longer find except on those expensive replacement sights. +It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. +It isn't good for re-heating fast foods like pizza , but great for re-heating chinese foods that you order from take-out. +What I didn't like is that assembling is not very easy . +After perusing coffee grinders for a year - I've found that the Melitta 80395 Burr Grinder meets all of my expectations. +The casserole portion has a great deal of volume... it's about 4 inches deep, but HUGE across. +The electric cord is on one side of the machine -- always the opposite side of where my electric socket is.pros:makes nice juiceinexpensivefastnoise level is tolerableI get the grater basket clean pretty easily with a dishwashing brush. +These can also be used for frozen treats for man and beast, as I have made both frozen yogurt and pureed liver "pops" for my dogs. +Unlike most glass items, there was no foam to hold delicate glass in place against the harder wood....only very thin k cardboard like you would find on the back of a cheap notepad. +Other pluses for this iron include how easy it is to fill the water reservoir spill-free, it heats up very quickly and produces lots of steam when I want steam and the heft is just right, not too heavy. +I mostly toast long slices of sour dough bread . +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. +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. +And hand washing it is a bit more challenging: you pretty much need to use a brush due to the holes in the blade, which creates a lot more edges where food residue can collect. +* 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. +but i think using paper filters is so wasteful of resources . +It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. +*Disclosure: I was contacted by a rep for Living Concept and provided a free sample for the purposes of giving my thoughts on it.*Hanging 10 in the closet. +My experience with this is you can take 14-16 oz water, start the mixer, then add your 1 or 2 scoops and it blends fine. +I think the Eva-dry wireless dehumidifier is a worthwhile tool in removing the feel and odor of excess humidity in one's interior. +However, I saw this had good reviews so I put it on my "Christmas list" and someone bought it for me. +I did not quite appreciate how large this thing is. +You have to put something heavy there to hold it unless I just got a defective unit which I doubt. +It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven. +I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey . +Pulse is the best option- when on ON - so fast ,perhaps too fast. +This bread pan is exactly what it says. +I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe , and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part. +They could be used to serve bread, but, in my opinion, they are not fancy enough for that. +It sucks up tons of dirt . +I feel that any over tightening will crack the thin plastic. +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can. +I especially appreciate the ability to change between grams, ounces, or pounds with just a single touch, and to weigh as little as 1 gram . +I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. +However, after two years, the twill fabric on the Calphalon mitt is pulling apart at the outside seam near my little finger, exposing about 2 inches of the inside padding. +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 . +I gave up on it and put it in the cupboard, intending to contact Cuisinart about it and get it replaced under warranty. +They are also very absorbent . +Spend 5 dollars more and purchase a worthy product. +space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product +My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it . +The handle has an upward tilt at the end for easy gripping. +Provides the perfect physical layer to protect against Bed Bugs , Dust Mites & Allergens. +Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. +I am able to limit the use of A/C if I have a means for proper ventilation. +I make hash browns every morning for my disabled husband and have tried all types of graters but just couldn't find the size I wanted or needed. +I would suggest making the end more sturdy and less susceptible to bend. +However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. +I like it very much and am VERY glad I ordered it. +The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out. +I let the yogurt make all night in this and then strain for about 3 hours in the Euro 2-Qt Gree Yogurt Maker. +The handles are generous (even my husband can easily fit his fingers into them) and can be used by both righties and lefties with comfort. +These glasses are the best. +I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! +You can do all sorts of things with a CALPHALON NLYON TURNER (aka spatula ): flip hamburgers, scrape grease off the bottom of a skillet, turn over pancakes on the stove, make a miniature trebuchet, fling food across a room, and pretend to sword fight with someone else in the kitchen who has a plastic spoon. +And it’s a good thing I did that because I ended up serving over 60 Tequila dinks in less than 3 hours. +I used it on my bedroom carpet, and it cleaned up new messes (cat barf ) admirably. +The price made me doubtful, because it's exceptionally low for the number and size of towels, but you get what you pay for, I guess. +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 love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. +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. +I got this roller to try out making my own ravioli's . +I also took a lean beef roast, about 3.5 lbs , thin sliced it and marinated it in a pre prepared mix. +One of the main reasons you use this is to prevent your microwave from getting dirty from splattering when you heat your food. +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. +(I wash all of my laundry in cold water with Tide Cold Water detergent.) +I bought one for me and one for my mother-in-law , and we're both thrilled with its performance. +I don't have a dishwasher and it's easy to clean. +It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) +So I searched and found the Lasko 2551 , decided to give it a try. +Plus is it just more hygienic . +Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight . +It cooks any meat within 5 minutes , perfectly every time. +I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. +I like to flip sides - I'm mainly on my left shoulder - +It wasn't too difficult to assemble, no tools . +I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. +An even better benefit is that it matches with the other Le Creuset products I have in my kitchen. +The power is adequate , but I can almost bring it to a stop using strong pressure. +Much easier to use, and my baked goods will stay in one piece (no struggling to get them out of their pan) +The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. +Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless , even if it's not high quality. +Bought two as gifts for a friend at 2/3 the price that I paid for mine at a kitchen store. +Since I have owned several types ( Braun has been the overall best) over the past 30 years, I knew what I was looking for. +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. +Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? +And it's the same thing as the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener, just modified to be kitchen-friendly .I had the Smith's sharpener and was ready to move on to something better. +I use this pan 3-4 times per week; it does well with fish, steak, hamburgers and the ubiquitous chicken breasts . +UPDATE: Pitted against "conventional" Cuisinart and Gevalia 12 cup coffee machines, and using brown filters, the equivalent density of coffee from the press is totally unacceptable to my taste. +The 1-cup and 2-cup Pyrex measuring cups are indispensable in the kitchen. +If you like heavy, quality feeling glassware , these are a fab deal! +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 . +When I first ordered this timer I was a little unsure that I would be satisfied with this item. +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 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. +I don't think they'd fall apart or anything like that, but they really don't stand out in any way. 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 reason I'm giving this two stars is because: the handle is weak and feels flimsy to use (and if you have to constantly be pushing it forward to generate steam it should feel sturdy); the mop head stays in a fixed position and does not swivel, therefore; does not get in hard to reach places like the base of the toilet or tough corners. +It also is a great way to " refresh " otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again. +I'll probably wind up buying another one when my wood en soap holder/drainer disintegrates, as they inevitably do (this stainless one will probably outlast me!). +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 beige textured background that mimics rice paper along with a plethora of butterflies and dragonflies amongst tall grass make The Lorraine Home Fashions Enchantment Shower Curtain very pretty! +For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. +Con: It REALLY purees things...too creamy sometimes . +Ok, so ' Thermos ' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - +The pan has a nice weight . +This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. +I love these trash cans . +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 got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. +Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. +I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great ! +You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes . +I got this for my daughter , who is an avid tea drinker. +Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. +It's also top-rack dishwasher safe, so clean-up is a breeze. +Other reviewers have already said it, and I'll support all the comments ... this pot is great for homebrewing !

features a folding design, with removable drying sticks. +It fits on my nightstand perfectly +The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter. +I'm getting rid of it . +If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by

could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day. +It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time, but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars . +The parts are easy to take apart and assemble +I ended up ordering the hand cranking kind because I know they work pretty good. +Fruit and veggies kept getting stuck and pieces would shoot out of the basket. +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.

a 4 inch Lakewood fan which I don't think they make anymore it looked kinda like this but a millionaire guy who looks like the dead milli vanilli stole it off my work desk . +I cannot recommend using

just don't like a coffeemaker that's a diva . +When I first put up the the shower curtain there was a strong vinyl odor for two or three days , so if the odor concerns you, I recommend airing the curtain outside for a day or two before bringing it inside. +The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. +This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). +It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed .One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean. +It looks good on the kitchen counter and is easy to fill .Olive oil comes out In a perfect stream and after using , no drips down the sides, because of the design of bottle. +There are no bolts or wood like in the Kyocera so this product should last longer in the handle area. +If the cover and the bowl were redesigned

bottom. +The air filter is located in the front, and is down near the floor so that when you try to vacuum on wood floors, the exhaust actually blows the dirt and pet hair away from you. +The handles

take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). +I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it .

+Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars . +I like a good strong steeped tea and let it infuse for awhile... +This is a virtually "never fail" corkscrew. +The easiest solution to the pump problem is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed. +Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well. +I wasn't sure what I wanted to replace my glass top range top with +I got this to use with various loose-leaf teas from Teavana , as I was tired of needing to use the french press every time I wanted some. +We got these for in front of the stove and the sink +I was interested in electrics, but never wanted to pay the price to try one .I have to say that this appliance rates right up there as one of the best purchases we've ever made. +Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company (" BuyHappier "), I don't think I will be unhappy at all. +The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel

I stated that I was new to baking and decided to buy a decorating kit. +They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. +use it in many places instead of foil , its a great product. +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. +You'd have to flip your pillow over to go to the other side b/c the longer side is supposed to stay on your back . +I don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars on a grinder and screw with the grinds , I just want it to produce a decent cup using commercially available ground espresso. +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... +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 works--will reduce humidity down to 45% which is the lowest I have tried to go with it. +Things like "Never nest the mugs", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". +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. +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 . +Relatively quiet too so it would fit nicely under a desk as well, at home or at work. +The color, straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard. +There is a plastic gimmick inside the reservoir to show water level - USELESS, unless you have a flashlight handy . +I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice . +** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap. +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. +I

Resist chips. Safe to use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer . +I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. +What a waste of money . +I love being able to wash out my cans for recycling without fear of cutting my hands in the process!My last one was a Krups that worked well and lasted a very long time, but all good things must come to an end so when it came time to replace it, I found my only option was a hand-held (which I also have as a back-up) and this Hamilton Beach model. +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! +The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the " flat mode " as well - it all depends on what you're cooking. +Cut side down ! +There was no issue in getting it replaced, they sent a replacement within 2 days and it has worked perfectly from the start. +I had to buy a $20. replacement bin a few months earlier because that had fallen apart as well .I made about 2 loaves a month with this breadmaker, so it sure wasn't overworked. +The popcorn burns at 3 minutes, at 2:45, at 2:30, and even at 2:15 (when the majority of the kernels are still unpopped). +it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent ...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc..... +The plastic is also very clear (as compared to the cloudier plastic of mine), but it's possible that is because this is brand new and mine is several years old. +We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. +This set of coasters ended up being pretty useless for us. +(This was also true of the Henckels knife block, part of my personal set.)The reason I rated the set 4-Stars was that the handles, poly(whatever), did not fit my hand as comfortably as my Henckels 4-Star set. +This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. +plastic stopperBormioli Rocco Selecta 33-3/ 4 -Ounce Decanter with Stopper- +a 1 year warranty) in the long run, +The cutting board comes with 4 plastic color coded, dishwasher safe surfaces. +Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around . +Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup. +I have not bought a vacuum in many decades so maybe I am easy to impress. +We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical. +it's the shoulder strap . +that will stain the stone , the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken. +This is my second winco chinese cleaver. +The dimensions of this wine cellar are 20 inches deep X 14.5 inches tall X 10 inches wide . +I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124" ). +Our 'normal' stick ( an East Coast stick , as I understand that they are different on the West Coast) fits in fine - you do need to 'load' it from the bottom (remove the plunger, then insert), but that's not hard at all. +"The heat will not spread evenly" when my 80 year old Chinese grandmother first saw this wok and she was right. +To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole . +After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. +The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is made of plastic . +if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use . +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! +Sometimes you need something small er or other times you need the power and versatility of a big vac-but I can eally get by just using this most of the time. +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. +This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. +They're small and it'll be too much hassle to return it, but I suspect this was not damaged in shipping +This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand . +I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing paper shoved in one side. +had bought a KitchenAid for myself previously and bought this for my neice. +I buy Dial antibacterial hand soap in large eco-friendly refill bags (Dial Eco-Smart Pomegranate & Tangerine Antibacterial Moisturizer Hand Soap Refill) and pour it into this dispenser, using it as a soap dispenser in my home bathroom. +I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. +Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life. +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. +Keurig should have placed this cheap plastic gizmo in with their machines instead of charging an extra $15 for it. +I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. +It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory. +This is a beautiful, solid, stainless steel cup. +but then we smoke and grill all the time +Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. +My bed is a hand-me-down, and it was firm. +It just requires adding all of the ingredients and just turn it on. +I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. +They have their own website and amazon should carry this but it does not. +This unit has a nice large 14 cup bowl along with a smaller one , a nice idea. +The sides are pretty sloped . +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. +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. +If you are going to want a perfect cooked meal you need to have the proper tools . +I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular. +This travel mug is worth every penny. +This 24 oz. thermos is also really nice, though it is big. +IMO, they're too small for soup or other heartier dishes, mainly because the handle is relatively short and the "eating" portion somewhat shallow (although not narrow/small). +The first thing I noticed it the automatic blender action . +Things like "Never nest the mugs", " Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". +Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners! +It got worse and worse and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. +I love my microplane, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love this Cusipro Fine Rasp Grater as well! +The underside is a more cottony feel and very warm which I appreciate and the throw
