Question: What brand coffee maker do we have?

It is very easy to use, looks very nice, and makes great coffee. No frills, just great coffee. We use this mainly for our RV, where every time we change a power source the time would blink and need to be reset if we had a clock type. Read all of the reviews as it has some quirks, but all coffee makers seem to. We highly recommend this unit with the Melita cone shaped paper filters. It can over-flow if you put too much water in it (more than 12 cups), and, if you take the carafe out while brewing, place it back within 20 seconds, and, hold the top of the unit down as you reseat the carafe or the filter can shift, lid can pop-up, and leak. Vary the strength by adding more or less coffee than recommended. Also, when you are done with it, unplug it or turn it off (it has no automatic shut-off). Be sure the plastic filter holder is seated all of the way down(easy) and do not use a BASKET STYLE gold-toned filter (not basket style paper, either), or a gold-toned 'cone' filter if the top does not close, it must close, so either use paper, or cut down the gold filter to fit. This unit is made for cone type filters, #4.Highly recommended!! Just use common sense. Get one with a timer if you have steady electricity. This unit is no more loud than most coffee makers that boil water fast; steam creates some noise in the end as the water boils out of all units. It brews fast. Get a slower one if you want less, or longer, steam noises, or a perculator, or make it the old way. This unit works great! I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree. Look who takes the number one position!

Question: Which pan would not last long?

I wondered why the price was so low on these pans, as Anolon Advanced is ususally twice the price. I was replacing a 6 year old Anolon Advanced pan just like the 10" skillet in the package. My older pan weighs twice what the new one does, and I was replacing it because the non-stick coating was worn.This pan, although lighter weight, cooks well. It is still heavy enough to produce even heat with no burning. I expect that it won't last 6 years, being lighter than it's older version, but I am happy with the price and the quality.Essentially, you get two skillets for the price of one, and this is a good buy.

Question: What did one reviewer complain about?

I got this pot because I was tired of using 5 different dishes to make stock. With this pan, it couldn't be easier. Throw the insert in, put in all your goods and boil. When finished, you pull the insert out and run the stock through a fine mesh strainer and that's it. Yes, it's big; it holds 12 quarts so I kind of expected that. My range has a vent/hood above it that is lower than most of my friends, and this manages ok. I'd rather have the pan be deep than wide, as the depth makes it handy for lobsters as well.If I had an extra 400 bucks kicking around I might have gone with All Clad because I'm a snob but as it is, this does the job just fine and I wouldn't trade up now that I have it. It boils in a totally acceptable amount of time for the volume and is a cinch to clean up- I've had no discoloration like one reviewer complained of. My equally snobby cooking buddy borrows mine constantly and is currently waiting for her own to arrive.This pan has seriously lowered the barrier for making stock for me. No more "I don't feel like dealing with a million pans, dishes, strainers, etc" Love, love, love it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Question: does this product stand out in a garden?

Not only does this blend in with my garden so you hardly know it is there, it keeps your outlets off the ground and protected with the cover. I have used outdoors in California year round, only moving it during the Christmas season when I change my lighting. I use it year-round for a fountain and for lights.

Question: What is the brand of the product?

Look, the Cuisinart SS-300 Single Server Brewing System is great - if you are the only one using it. It is cumbersome if there is more than one person in your household. Simply put you have to add water each time you want a cup of coffee. I have the larger Cuisinart keurig product that has a larger water reservoir that allows you to make successive single cups without the hassle of having to fill it up each time. It works the same as its big brother in every respect as I can tell. Unfortunately there are more than one in my household. Consequently this product gets used when only one cup serving is desired. This is a great product otherwise.

Question: Who does the Reviewer recommend the product for?

I had gotten this because I wanted to have water for tea and hot chocolate available without using a microwave. I have it sitting next to my kitchen sink. when the kids want hot water they just flip it on and within a very short time the water is hot. I just refill so it is ready for the next time. I also use it for instant oatmeal and any other water based foods. I love it because it is quick and can add hot water while cooking in no time. No more microwave either. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to get rid of the toxns from using a microwave, or if you just want hot water available in a split second.

Question: Where did they buy the vacuum?

I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart). I never realized how much dirt my old Eureka was leaving behind. My living room is 14 X 20. I had to empty that canister a dozen times. It kept filling up with cat hair (from a cat that died 12 years ago), sand, grit, dirt, dust and only God knows what else. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. It was scary. That filth has been hiding in my medium-pile carpet for over a decade. Vacuuming twice a week with a Eureka never touched it.There are no bags to buy. No filters of any kind to purchase. Just remove the canister and empty it into the waste bin. That's it. All the filters are washable too.The retracting cord is fabulous. This cleaner maneuvers easily. It's probably as noisy as any other vacuum cleaner, but who cares when it cleans so well. The carpet height feature is nice too. Some cleaners actually feel cheap. This one doesn't. You can tell it's quality stuff upon removing it from the box. There's not a lot of assembly either. All I had to do was screw in the handle. The canister empties easily too, just by pushing a button. The attachment hose is ready to use without having to attach it to anything. Just pull it out of it's holder and start dusting.I love this machine. I'd give it ten stars if I could.Many reviewers are complaining about an "extremely short attachment hose". I wonder if they're pushing it out of its holder before using it? Once it is freed it's good for corners and edges of the carpet, but still a short for other things...like stairs.

Question: What did not drip into the reservoir?

Wanted so much to use this for basic uses brown rice and beans. Tried first using for dinner guests, couldn't use the recipes that were in the printed manual, found one online that was described in video. The water that collected during cooking did not drip into the reservoir, but stayed in the rim of the pan. I had to watch the clock for cooking time since the digital readout did not work. Had to email Fagor for advice on how long to cook beans. The rep asked what kind of beans, and when I responded that I cook three types of beans, it took a week for her to give an answer. I returned the item since it is unreliable and the customer service was not the best.

Question: How long ago did the author purchase the product?

1.5 months after purchase. Still absolutely loving it!!! Even if I ended up having to press the open and close button (which so far has not been necessary because the auto open and close still works perfectly) I would still recommend this can. It is huge so you don't have to take out the trash nearly so often! It seals in smells amazingly well so no worries about odor either. No fingerprints... well.. you hardly have to ever touch it so maybe that's part of the benefit. It presses nice and tight and flat to the wall so it's a spacesaver in my dining room. Great price!! Love It Love It Love It!!

Question: what do they wish?

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 king sized quilt I bought elsewhere has more overhang than this duvet.This duvet feels (to me) like down, just without the stabby feathers and it's heavy enough that I don't have to use more than one electric heater while sleeping this winter night (I'm a freeze baby, though). I washed it before stuffing it into the cover and it did not tear, nor does it have any outstanding defects after I scoured it over.I'm pretty happy with it, I just kind of wish it was a larger comforter.

Question: What coffee maker is my economical coffee maker like?

I have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. This one makes good coffee, just right temp, love the auto shut-off feature and is easy to fill. My problem is with the burner plate. It has been burning through and now rusting since we got it. The carafe has rust spots (I have a hard time removing)in the 2 places it sits over. The maker still works but I am worried it will catch fire or bust the glass carafe if not replaced. So I give it a 3 star rating. Not the worst I have ever had but not worth the money if I have to continually replace them. I am going with a new coffee maker that costs 3 times as much but maybe it will last at least 3 times longer.

Question: What is a great selling point for the fryer?

The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob. It amazes me T-Fal could have approved this design.One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works. I couldn't figure out if I first wait 3 hours then turn the knob to "drain" or what. I ended up turning the knob to drain right after I used it and it turns out the fryer waits itself until the oil is cool enough (less than 3 hours), then it starts to drain.So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

The main reasons I bought this fryer was for <hl> the cleaning aspect <hl> (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob. It amazes me T-Fal could have approved this design.One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works.

Question: What did the price drop to?

I've had my original Panasonic Flash Xpress since 2003. I've been wanting to replace it because it was looking pretty bad due to the heavy use - but it still works great. I was so happy to find out they were finally selling this oven again! The price was kind of steep, so I waited. Finally they dropped it to $99 and I had a $10 coupon. I snapped it up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is great for our needs. I can see that it might be a little small for folks wanting to cook larger items - but it works great for our purposes. Makes wonderful baked potatoes, toast, bagels, waffles, fries, chicken nuggets, hash browns, great for roasting hot dogs or sausages, chicken breast, steak - really anything you want to try. It gets hot fast. No preheating. You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven. One note - the rack does not look like the one in the picture. It does not have the squiggly bars or the cross pieces, but only straight bars and no cross-pieces, just like the old one.

Question: The  problem with the container is that the wine bottle was not doing what?

The item pictured is on a cork product is not on a slant. I didn't find that it kept wine chilled on its own. Im not sure how it would I had a normal sized wine bottle and the sides of the container were not even close to touching the sides on the bottle. But if you place ice in the bottom and a little water it becomes a makeshift ice bucket and that does the job. Using it this way I like it because you can see the label.

Question: What is one thing you should avoid doing with the blender?

This is a nice personal blender, and perfect for those who crave an iced coffee or smoothie drink. In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each, so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice, and make SURE you have liquid in it. My parents ( seniors in their 70's) are rocking this -- the strawberry/banana smoothie in particular. Mom also likes the iced coffee, made strong!Clean up is a breeze, which I like, as well. I have used it to grate cheese, and make super-fast fresh salsa as well - most everything is done in seconds. Need chopped onions or celery? Maybe 10 seconds!I like mine, and have sent several to people as gifts. From the 1st year college student,to parents- you cant go wrong with this. The trick is to get them to USE it once, and see how easy it is to make a quick treat.This is a great keep-it-simple unit. It does not replace a big blender, or big-time ice-crusher. It is great for one or two people!

Question: How much does the customer like these sheets?

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: What room was the reviewer looking to outfit?

Needing to outfit a new kitchen I was looking for a set that would work with all types of cookware. These fit the bill perfectly. The pieces are sturdy and all are useful. I've used them in boiling water and hot oil with no problem. I would recommend these to anyone.May 2013 amendment. These aren't quite as great as I first thought. I used the spatula in a frying pan over med-high heat and it started to melt. I'm now looking for a better quality replacement. The spoons are still great and going strong. For that reason I changed from 5 stars to 4 stars.

Question: Where do you plug it in when it's done?

This is a great niche tool which does it's job very well so far. It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. Sometimes you need something smaller 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. It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush, but frankly I haven't used it that long to find out. I take it out, do whatever small job needs to be downa and I plug it back in to the recharger. No issues so far and i'm very happy with it...

Question: What part is difficult to get on after filling it with beans?

I read the reviews then decided to order it. All went well with shipping, seller, etc. It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. For me, the only little problem is sometimes trying to get the top on after filling it with beans - it's hard to tell where to set the top exactly and how to get it to twist so the arrows are aligned, so sometimes I have fiddled with it awhile before it clicks. Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder. It is heavy, so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. All in all, I would buy this again and stick with this model.

Question: What keeps this products together?

This is a terrible product and honestly shouldn't even get 1 star. It doesn't stay together and will literately crumble if there's any weight on it, and sometimes even if it's moved. It's not put together with screws, bolts, or nails. It's just suppose to fit snugly together and stay up on it's own. It does NOT. All I wanted to put on it was some laundry soap, fabric softeners, and a little bin for lint and it won't even work for that. I wish I would have trusted all these negative reviews and just gone with something a little more expensive. Returning it tomorrow.

Question: When was the last time the customer purchased a hand held vacuum?

With two cats, little messes--litter, catnip, fur, food--are inevitable, but hauling out the big vac is more of a production than I can usually be bothered with. But my last hand-held vac was a total waste of time and money. It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) Granted, this was about 10 years ago. So it was with some trepidation I selected the Pet hair Eraser. As it turns out, I am reasonably satisfied with it. It has a decent amount of suction, although of course it doesn't do as good a job at the big vac. It picks up litter and cat food quite well, fur and catnip slightly less well. But for a quick tidy-up, it certainly serves its purpose well. I've used it for maybe 15 minutes now and haven't had to recharge it. I do have to empty it after every use (a good sign, really, that it's functioning well). The filter does clog up, but it washes easily.My one big complaint is about the "integrated crevice tool." It's not really a crevice tool so much as a narrow opening for the vac itself. It's not really narrow enough to be a crevice tool, and not really big enough for the vac itself. I wish they hadn't gone for the compromise here.

Question: What can cause the weight to change on the scale?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: What size pan fits inside the oven?

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. And for the money, this one does the job. However, determining how long something will take to cook is a guessing game. The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350, using an oven thermometer. I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected. It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken.

Question: Is the coffee maker recommended for purchase?

This coffee maker has gradually lost it's ability to work from day one. The coffee is always weak in comparison to our other Keurig machine and it brews about half of a cup or half of the water that you place into the holding tank. The rest of the water drains down into the holding tray, meant for overflow, which is very frustrating. I would not recommend this model to any consumer that would like a properly working coffee maker. Alas, it is outside of our return window (30 days) so we will be unable to return this model and hope to enjoy many half cups of coffee instead.

Alas, it is outside of our return window (30 days) so we will be unable to return this model and hope to enjoy many half cups of coffee instead.


Question: How does it feel the author of the review?

It's disappointing that even after using mineral oil with each use this board it still cracked. Not that I thought it was very practical to need to take the extra step of oiling my cutting board after each use but I was hoping that by spending extra time initially I would make sure the board was well oiled and would last. Unfortunately, I still ended up with large cracks that make it all but unusable as a cutting board. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT, WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN NO WAY!

Question: What did I hear when I picked up my box?

This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. However, I suggest purchasing it elsewhere. Amazon does not know how to package ceramic items for shipping. This set was placed in a packing sleeve as one unit, just as you see it in the photo. There was lots of space around the items, and therefore they were hitting each other during transit. This caused breakage and scratching. When I picked up the box from my porch I could hear clinking. I knew that was not good. I contacted Amazon and they were very good to work with and shipped me another set. Guess what? It was packaged just like the previous set and it also arrived in pieces. At this point I decided not to reorder from Amazon a third time, but rather try another store to order from. The product is great, but the shipping is not.

Question: What does the batch feature do?

I first bought the white version of this timer about ten years ago. At that time, it sold for $30, so at $15 it's a bargain; recently I bought the black version, which with its colored buttons looks cooler than white.For the last few years, I've used the old one at least ten times a day, without ever having to change batteries. I've dropped it a few times on a ceramic floor and otherwise abused it occasionally, but all three functions still work perfectly. It's simple to set, has a "batch feature" (meaning it recalls the previous setting when you turn it off) so you don't have to reset it when you continue to use a particular setting. It's meant to be carried around your neck, if you wish, so it's on the small side and the compact button layout might not be convenient for people with arthritis.It does what it was designed to do extremely well; what more can you ask?

Question: What is the dehumidifier quieter than according to the author?

This is a passive dehumidifier; you will not be pumping gallons of water out of your air every week. I think we get about 1.5L a week, which is enough to keep a good bit dampness out of our 30x30 basement. It puts off a little less noise than a small fan, which makes sense since internally it really is just a small fan. Not silent, but certainly very quiet.This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once.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.

Question: Who delivered the queen size bed?

The queen size bed I got arrived very quickly. I ordered it on a Friday and it arrived by Fedex Tuesday. The only problem is, the center supports on one of the halves of the frame was broken off. When i took the product out of the packaging the center support fell to the ground as I was lifting the folded piece out, meaning my actions had no effect on its condition. The weld that holds the center support to the frame was done poorly on that have, but was better, much sturdier, and not broken on the other half. With a bed resting on the frame I will be able to place the broken piece in the appropriate place and secure it, so I won't bother returning the item. According to other reviews, this is a rare occurrence, so don't let it be the only reason you don't buy this frame.

Question: What do the handles of the shears feel like?

Pinking shears are a necessity for anyone who sews. They cut a zig-zag edge, which helps prevent fraying. Whether you're working with fragile fabrics, or making doll clothes with narrow seam allowances, or just want a clean finish to your garment seams--you'll need a pair of pinking shears in your toolbox. I recommend them to all of my students.These pinking shears in particular are great. The handles are soft and the automatic spring action is a lifesaver. With regular pinking shears, you have to open and shut the blades with every stroke. This might not seem like much trouble, but pinking shears are heavier than regular scissors and more difficult to use. If you have any kind of arthritis in your hands, you'll want a pair with the spring action. Or even if you just have a large project ahead of you, with lots of fabric to be cut out. You'll be grateful for the spring action by the time you're done.That said, these pinking shears are a bit touchy. On average, they seem to last about three years before needing replacement. This is my third pair in ten years, but then again, I do cut a lot of thick fabrics, like denim and twill. They really don't like that. They'll do the job, but they get stuck at times and you have to pry the blades open.For those who aren't aware, they do require cleaning and oiling to keep the spring action running smoothly. Use a pipe cleaner to dust in between the blades, then place a drop or two of sewing machine oil onto the round part between the blades, near the handle. Then act as if you're cutting something, so the oil can work its way into the gears. Make sure you cut a piece of scrap fabric with them after oiling, so you don't accidentally drip any excess oil onto your nice fabric. A sign that they're getting old and need to be replaced is that the spring action stops working and you find yourself oiling them constantly, trying to get them to work.I give them four stars, because they are a pain to use when the blades stick. And you'd think they'd last longer than three years without needing to be replaced. But they're such a necessity in the sewing room, you really can't live without them. Highly recommended!

Question: What happens to unused items?

I'm a no clutter kind of guy in the kitchen. If I don't use something, it ends up gone... but a microplane grater will NEVER be absent from my kitchen again.These graters are a billion times better than any other brand. They use a special manufacturing process that etches the holes in the blade rather than punching them, which leads to a stronger, sharper edge. The result? This thing will breeze through difficult to grate items with almost no effort. I use mine mostly for parmigiana cheese and whole nutmeg, but I have also found it incredibly useful for grating those fibrous ginger roots.

Question: How does the material feel?

From the picture on the web, thought the color was a soft pink/peach but it's actually khaki. Wish Amazon would have simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. (What IS "terragon"? The spice is spelled differently.) Yes, it's the dimensions stated and not very poofy. The fabric is different on each side. I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc. The material is stiff but looks like it might soften in the wash, and if a kid is using it, it will be washed frequently, so that's fine by me. Pink would have been cuter, but khaki's not so bad. If you want a big poofy down comforter, this is not what you are looking for. Would be a great modern version of the lap blanket for someone in a wheelchair.

Question: What will the peeler help with when using it to peel apples?

My wife and I pick our own honey crisp apples in the fall and we usually end up with quite a large "reserve", so she'll make pies and apple crisps and other deserts. Rather than try to peel apples by hand like we did in the past, we wanted something to speed up the process. Apple peeling (even with two people) can get pretty tedious if you're not really good at it.This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. My wife and I ended up eating a bunch of the ends as we went along because it would shave thick chunks off either end. Not a big deal if you're at home but if you want to use this for a bakery or something it might lead to a fair amount of apple waste if you have a lot of apples that are not "symmetrical" or mostly round.That said it's sturdily built, looks pretty cool (like it belongs in an old-fashioned kitchen), and got through the first 4 dozen or so apples we tested on it without any mechanical problems. We'll see how it stands up to next fall's test / if any of the thiner parts break, etc. Will update if it does. If no update you can assume it's working great a year later.(Note: we have not tried it on potatoes.)

Question: What holds the Deep Water Bath to the bath?

This is a really good product but when first purchased we thought it wasn't going to work. Just stepping into the empty tub to install by lightly wetting the suction cups and applying pressure it would not stick. After reading the package, there was no info on wetting the product. It only says to work your way around the device pressing suctions in a row. Still didn't work for us. Since the house was a little chilly we placed it in the sink with hot water for a couple of minutes to soak. In the meantime, taking a wet cloth with some soap, cleaned the area around the escape point and finished by drying it with a towel. Then we removed the Deep Water Bath from the hot soak and shook it off. Trying again to work around the suctions it stuck perfectly. It does say to take it off each time and rinse with cool water - to avoid mold. You can also throw it in with the wash every now and then. It makes a great full bath to relax in! :)

Question: What type of metal is use to make the trash can?

This trash can is what I consider medium sized as I use a 39 gallon metal one a local store painted for my trash - 6 people = 1 black trash bag per day. But for my mother, it is perfect and a white kitchen size trash bag fits perfectly. We installed the D batteries since there was no outlet where she has her trashcan located. It worked like a charm but then again it was brand new. The only drawback that I experienced was that the opening is not as wide/large as the top and is what I consider rather small. This translates into problems when throwing away raw meat packages or leftovers since one will have to be careful not to allow the refuse to come in contact with the sides of the opening. Then again, one could wash/disinfect the top if desired, but who wants to bother with that everyday? Also, for a stainless steel product, it is made with really flimsy and thin metal, not what I would even call stainless steel - it was more like plastic with a stainless steel coating.
