Question: What Crockpot did the reviewer buy?

I am quite mystified at the terrible reviews this crock pot has recieved. I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago and we have used it numerous times to cook many things and have never once had any issues with it. I bought this smaller round one at a local department store and it performs just as well as the larger one.The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water. Meats and vegetables produce their own moisture when cooking inside a crock so adjust the water you add accordingly. For instance, when I make a beef roast I only add about a third cup of water. Naturally the crock is going to get hot because it has to cook the food over an extended period of time, especially if you set it for 4 or 6 hours on the HIGH setting.Keep in mind that not all reviews are accurate. You can get a product that has poor reviews and discover it's an awesome product. The reason for this is that quite often people will simply not read the directions or display any common sense when using the product. I do not mean to make others sound bad, but this has been my experience when purchasing products online (or anywhere for that matter).

Question: What is easy to clean?

Bought this oven several months ago after our old NuWave gave up the ghost. We like this design much more than the plastic NuWave we had whose hood we had to replace after it cracked a year or so after we bought it. The only downside so far has been that the halogen light needs a deflector ring or shield to minimize the glare while cooking. We have not had any of the problems mentioned by other reviewers. Cleaning is a breeze. We've used it primarily for cooking meats and it has worked really well.

Question: Where couldn't the product be found easily?

It was oddly difficult to find one of these in a physical store - I looked at Walmart and at Bed Bath and Beyond but I couldn't find a big one. We use this one to dry cloth diapers inside or to dry delicates. There's a lot of space and it folds easily if you want to tuck it away. It's also pretty lightweight considering it's size.

Question: What is the product used for?

These work really nicely for clamping bags of chips shut tightly. The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry. The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products.

Question: How do you collapse the board?

This is a solid and well-constructed ironing board. The best part about it is that the wide end is wider than your average ironing board which makes it nice ironing for men's shirts. When it's folded flat, it is shorter than an average bar by a good foot; it's a little thicker by about two inches. It has a heavy feel and definitely is more stable than my old ironing board. There are a few moving parts and that concerns me a bit for the long haul, but the workmanship looks good, so it will probably be OK. The front leg has a button you push to collapse it and it's a bit of a trick to press that at just the right time when closing the board so as not to nick your finger. I still rate it very high for an ironing board and definitely recommend it.

Question: What is said about the price of the teaspoon?

These are decent teaspoons for a reasonable price. Ultra simple style. The handle has an upward tilt at the end for easy gripping. I recommend these for stirring coffee/tea and for eating cereal. 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). My 5 y/o son uses them with ease. They are not flimsy at all yet not too heavy. The finish is highly polished/mirror, which does show some scratches. I've run them through the dishwasher with Finish Power Ball detergent tabs with good results.

Question: Where do a lot of the appliances like graters and slicers end up?

I've owned countless mandolines, graters, and slicers.Most just say in the drawer till I clean out my kitchen and donate themI've also found many Oxo products to either be an amazing hit or a dud.This is one of those amazing hits.I love how all the items store neatly together,The top turns into a "catch basin" for the grader or slicer.It produces VERY thin slices (not for slicing cucumbers) but makes amazing onion slices in moments (very thin and uniform great for sandwiches)I find when grating lots of cheese I have to empty the hopper as it will quickly fill and the cheese (especially softer cheeses like Colby) will clump. -- but that is a user issue not a design issue.

Question: What type of gallon bag does this container use?

The important thing to know about this trash can is that each container is NOT 16 gallons. They're each 8 gallons, for a total of 16. Between my husband and I, 8 gallons fills up fast, so I have to change out the bags at least twice a week. What's even more frustrating is that the bags (currently using 13 gallon) are only partially full, so I feel like I'm wasting bags along with having to do more work.Otherwise, I like the design and look of the trashcan. Having the dual containers is very convenient. Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. Keeps your hands clean, without having to stand there waving your hands around like some kind of air traffic controller.Overall, it's a good trashcan, I just wish both containers were 16 gallons (or even 13), and not a paltry 8 gallons.

Question: what is the brand name of the gel mat?

Is it possible that mundane kitchen tasks could be more enjoyable with the addition of a gel floor mat? It seems absurd and I was definitely a skeptic about just how effective and different having the GelPro floor mat would be...but I stand corrected. Wow, I'm ready to put GelPro mats under all the carpeting in my house!Is it really _that_ comfortable? It is, I promise. If I'm in the kitchen these days, I'm standing on the mat. I'll wash dishes, I'll chop, and I'll stir, just get me on that mat.My one beef with the mat is pricing...it seems pretty pricey for a mat. But, if you have any sort of comfort issue as you're standing and working in the kitchen, I would bet the ol' GelPro could make things significantly more comfy!

Question: How long have they had this product?

I'm not one for rave reviews but I've been pounding on this thing every morning for two years and it's held up great. It's the right size, wouldn't want it bigger or smaller. The quality stainless hasn't tarnished one bit, the bamboo box is strong and still looks good -the only thing is the satin lacquer finish has gone dull from repeated washing but that was expectable. Even the foam on the bar is still in good shape.To boot it was a bargain at the price and I ended buying a second one for a gift

Question: What was the reason that the reviewer bought these glasses for?

These glasses I picked up because I wanted to experiment with some Absinthe mixes. With my large ice cube tray, these seemed the perfect glass for it. I did not want to just get a normal set of glasses, something you might get at the "Red Bullseye" store. Or even just something cheap. Granted these are not the most expensive out there, but they are Made in Germany, and the reviews spoke of it being solid, and had durability and some weight.When I got them, they were nice clear, solid glasses with the right width. All 6 were in perfect shape and shipped well. I never heard of the company Spiegelau, but I really like the glasses. They feel good in the hand. They show off the drink well. I wanted a good glass and I got a good glass. So I am happy with them.

Question: What is the distance between the top and bottom screws?

This looks good and does the job well. But be mindful of its dimensions, placement of the screw holes and the dimensions of your cabinet. If you plan to hang it on the wall - you should have no worries. If you plan to hang it inside a kitchen cabinet, keep in mind:1- you will have to hang it low enough to allow for the top lid to clear the inside frame of the cabinet, and for the bottom to clear the cabinet frame.2 - before drilling any holes, check the sickness of you cabinet door in those specific spots. My cabinets have carved face, so the sickness of the door is very thin and I could not drill the holes for the lower two screws. I ended up using screw for the top hole, and command hooks for the bottom support. And I had to find my own very short screw for the top hole3 - you might have to use command hooks for the support if you cannot use any screws for any holes. But the lids add up to a lot of weight4- consider the depth that the lids will take inside the cabinet once the door is closedThe distance between the top screw and the bottom screws is about 16.5 inches

Question: What espresso maker did I have before the new one?

I don't usually leave a review, but I always appreciate the reviews people leave. They are very helpful for my decision making of a product.I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. I received the Nespresso U C50 with Aeroccino Milk Frother today. I unpacked it, and made an espresso. The best espresso ever, I was only trying to duplicate a Starbucks Latte. In my opinion this was a great decision to finally buy this machine, it makes a better espresso than Starbucks. The machine is compact, and clean looking. It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago.The Nespresso is extremely quick and no clean up, amazing machine. I just wish now I would have purchased it long ago. Very happy with it at this point.

Question: Is it cheaper to buy the filters at a big box store?

Over the years I've tried a number of the reusable K-cup gizmos and had come to the conclusion that none of them were designed right. None of the companies making these things seem to take in account that the water actually needs to be in contact with the coffee for some period of time to make a decent cup of coffee. If you take a look at a used k-cup, you'll see that there is a small hole in the top where the water goes in and a small hole in the bottom where the coffee comes out. Most of these filter units have large screened opening that don't allow any pressure to build up like a real k-cup does. So you end up with a very weak cup of coffee even if you over pack the filter.But the design of this Keuring My K-Cup filter is different, it actually takes the place of the whole coffee unit. You can actually get a drinkable cup of coffee from it, even without using a ton of grounds. The one thing I still don't like is having to clean out the basket after every cup. 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. They make the chore a bit more palpable.I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it. Something else that might be of interest. I purchased the filter I'm using at the local big-box store and paid nearly twice what they want for one here (doh!).

They make the chore a bit more palpable.I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it. Something else that might be of interest<hl> . I purchased the filter I'm using at the local big-box store and paid nearly twice what they want for one here (doh!). <hl>

Question: What is it made of?

I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid. Surprisingly so. And the comforter is ...comfortable and is a good fit on my bed. The entire ensemble will transform any bed into an inviting refuge for guests and the colors match the rest of my home's decor.Do be aware that this is 100% poly, which should not come as a shock given the price. I mention this because this set is comfortable for occasional use like for guests, but not bedding that I would want to sleep on for prolonged periods. I seem to have a built-in aversion to poly. On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.Another plus for me is this set can be refolded and stored in a compact manner, so between guest visits it's out of sight and takes up little space.For the price you cannot go wrong. Even if you use these yourself as an everyday comforter set you should be pleased by the quality and beauty of this ensemble.

Question: what did the writer add to the milk?

As soon as the frother arrived, I opened it up, pulled the tab to connect the batteries, washed as instructed, and made some cold chocolate milk. After adding syrup to the milk, and using the frother, I chugged down the glass like there was no tomorrow. Probably one of the most delicious glasses I have ever had!Then the next day, I made some white chocolate cocoa. I have a huge plastic mug, so before I put the cocoa in it, I warmed up the milk in a Pyrex measuring cup with the cocoa and after removing from the microwave, frothed the bejeezus outta that cocoa!Since Dunkin' Donuts doesn't sell this delicious concoction anymore, I tried getting as close to it as possible, and the frother is the key!After holding the mug in one hand on my twenty minute commute to work the whole time sipping this decadent beverage, I came back out the car two hours later, to find out that there was foamy, frothy goodness still in the mug!Okay, so I would have given this five stars, but the idea that I can't immerse it in water kind of irks me. I find it a little bit tedious to try to clean it. It feels solid however, so hopefully it will last a long time!

Question: How heavy is the rack?

This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. Follow the directions for placing the clips, and arrange your spice containers before sticking the clips to the base. You will be pleased with the results. Keep in mind when ordering, that these racks will hold small glass spice bottles and small to medium-large plastic spice containers. The racks are great for what they're intended to do, they are not a cure-all for every "spice cabinet need", use them accordingly and you'll be happy with your purchase.

Question: what do they use to cut with a grater or mandolin?

I love this product! I have a mandolin for cutting up food, but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle. Or, I'd end up with big pieces of waste food that couldn't be cut cuz they were too small for the handle. With this glove I can cut anything on the mandolin or grater without any fear of scrapes or cuts. When I'm done cutting, I just wash and rinse my hands thoroughly with the glove ON to remove any food juice and particles, and then just take if off and throw it in the dish drainer to dry.

Question: What seems to be making them break easily?

The other reviewers are right! I purchased a set of 16 and have one left. I have NEVER had glasses that break like these. The shape of the base seems to be the problem. They crack for no apparent reason, at the base. I had one sitting on the counter, 5 minutes after I took it out of the cooled dishwasher, and it cracked. Another cracked while sitting in the cabinet, 30 minutes after being put away. Several cracked when we poured chilled beverages or put ice into the glass. VERY STRANGE! We really liked the shape and feel, but would not buy again! However, they were an experience!

Question: What number of stars did the reviewer give?

Once again I have to edit a review with new information. I just received a new henckles professional four star wide cook's knife. In my review I make a lot of comments abut the 15 degree angle of sharpness vs. the 20 degree. Now I am forced to reveal that I can't tell the difference. The Henckle's feels just as sharp and easily passes the paper test. I guess I was comparing my new Wusthof to used 20 degree class knives, although they had been sharpened. I still like the Wusthof but the new Hencjke's is just as good and the handle is excellent. Froom the picture I assumed the handle was the old style flat handle but this one is much bigger, fatter, and fits my hand just as well. Like I concluded, the best way to buy a knife is to go somewhere like ----- where you can feel what;s best for you and then buy it on amazon.When the Asian knives came out with their 15 degrees of sharpness, I bought at least a dozen, mostly Shun and some Myobi. But now here comes Wusthof with 14 degrees of sharpness ( you can't tell the difference with a bigger handle an thicker blade (from the top). The result is a more comfortable heavier knife like I am use to using. I still love my shun knives but not quite as much as this. My all time favorite is the Shun Ken Onion chefs knives but shun and ken onion have apparently parted company. The ken onion knives are just called ken onion and are made by a different company. The handles are shorter, too short for me with my XL hands. They are just not as comfortable and not as heavy as the shun ken onion. You can still get them but I don't know for how long. For me these new Wusthof Ikon classic knives will do just fine. I don't understand the 2 star comment. The handle is solid and comfortable. Put next to a Shun they are just as sharp, heavier and feel more solid. I wish I had not spent so much on the Asian knives so I could afford a few more of these. I probably will buy a few anyway and I do like m shun knives, just not as much as these. Both are 5 star knives. You should probably check them out at a store before ordering online to see which you prefer. Of course there are manyother knives but for me the Shun is the best Asian knife and these are the best Euro/American style.

Question: Are they more likely freezing or canning the contents of the ball jars?

This is one of those essentials items I use often. I've tried to list all the things I use it for here--a lot more than you'd think. Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. The good thing about this gadget is that it not only keeps the rim clean for sealing but when the contents reach the bottom of the funnel when placed in my wide mouth jars, I know to stop filling so I have room for expansion when freezing something.I also keep another one of these in my birdfeed container because one of my feeders is a narrow tube that used to take very careful filling and still I spilled much seed. With this funnel the filling is fast and easy.In the kitchen, I put lots of things in Ball jars for storage like rice, grits, rolled oats, powdered sugar, baking soda, popcorn, chocolate bits, seeds and nuts. They stay fresh and secure this way. Filling the jars is easy and efficient with this funnel. No spillage. I make my own salad dressing and mayonnaise and put those in the half pint jars, and use both the pint and quart jars for other things. I may squeeze a dozen grapefruits using the attachment on my food processor or use a juicer attachment for grape juice. The food processor bowl doesn't have a pour spout so transferring the juice to a jar requires help from this funnel. Even pouring sugar into a measuring cup can be messy business if a lump gets in the way, so I put the funnel in the mouth of the cup first.One thing the funnel is absolutely essential for is when I buy things in bulk at the health food store. Getting whatever from those flimsy plastic bags into a jar is a real challenge.I keep one of these funnels in the garage for filling the gas tank on my tractor and my leaf vacuum. Holding those big heavy containers just right to get the nozzle in the tank often alludes me. The funnel helps me get started without spillage. Another thing I use the funnel for is getting the dirt in small pots for starting seeds early in the spring. I do that inside and really don't want the soil spilled around.All in all I've found so many uses for this funnel, I've ended up with several. It's a very useful tool.

Question: What is the main complaint about the capresson machines?

I sure hope it lasts though! There been alot of comments that these frothers break down after a short while or straight out of the box. My friend bought the capresso machine and it didnt work out of the box so it was returned. This one works beautifully do far, I love the feel of the machine. It feels like ceramic sorta, it has a nice weight to it. Love the design. I hope it lasts even though it has a warranty I'm assuming because we really enjoy this little machine. The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. This comes with 2 whisks but the little circle seems to fit one only, I guess you keep the other on the machine because your using it. Well I can't say enough about how great this machine is so far. I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine.

Question: What was the original purpose for the bin?

As you surely realize, this is a handy bin for storing bathroom sundries. It'll hold maybe six shampoo bottles, depending, of course, on how large your shampoo bottles are. I'm actually going to use mine to hold cleaning supplies, 'cause I always worry about them leaking a little bit and damaging my lovely wood vanity.This is rigid, and just a little bit flexible. And as indicated in the pictures, it has a glossy finish. It came wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent scuffing. The label on the bottom says that it's made in USA. It does not appear to be made of recyclable plastic.For clutter control, it seems like a perfect little thing for under the sink, and I imagine I'm going to get hooked on it and getting more of them. I love that they come in a variety of colors, and just wish they were a little bit less expensive.

Question: What meal is the glass a must buy for?

Unless it's impossible to figure out the equation- that'd be up to the great mathematicians and scientists to discover! This drinking glass is perfect for all the dorky, uncool cup drinkers out there... of which I may categorize myself as! Nah I'm not one of those I'm afraid- I just like drinking out of a pretty nifty cup. However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. We can all dream that there is one, haha. A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early.

Nah I'm not one of those I'm afraid- I just like drinking out of a pretty nifty cup. However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. We can all dream that there is one, haha. A must buy for <hl> breakfast <hl> but, please, don't wake up *too* early.


Question: What happens when you try to fill an in-sink soap from above?

While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this product (only had it a little while), I can say that providing several feet of tubing to feed into a bulk bottle of hand soap was a stroke of genius. 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. If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter. Using the included tubing to feed into a gallon bottle of hand-soap eliminates all that hassle.Make sure you follow the priming instructions... if you try and prime with thick hand-soap, it'll take you forever. Prime from a glass of water, and when it starts dispensing, switch over to the soap.

Answer: it simply overflows and spills all over your counter

Question: What is also the right length?

This set has met my very high expectations! I had very high hopes due to the other great reviews and I was not disappointed at all. The set fits my daybed wonderfully and the bed skirt is just the right length. Someone made a comment about the bed skirt not working right if you also have a box spring, but in that case they should put the bed skirt under the box spring. I haven't had anyone use the bed yet but I love how it looks. These colors look really great. I think I am going to go with all white sheets to really let them stand out.

Question: How is this one similar?

I have a very similar one, but it's about 20 years old. My friend loved mine, so I got her this one. She loves it. Like my 20 year old one, the numbers are quite clear and the lines are easy to see. And you know it's going to last unless you break it. I love the Pyrex ones the best because you can measure hot and cold items when necessary. And the clear glass is much easier to use than semi-clear plastic. I also think the glass is better for cleanliness. And it's big enough to measure up 2 cups of anything. It's a very useful item to have.

Question: what is done before trying to manually get things out of the toaster?

This toaster is just ok. It does toast evenly. The biggest thing about it that I don't like is that the light-dark control doesn't seem to do too much. Even on the lightest setting, it toasts quite long, so you always have to stand over it. I've definitely had things overly toasted on the lowest setting. You wouldn't want to put a Poptart in and walk away, or anything like that. It would definitely burn. Even on defrost it toasts too long; if you try to defrost a toaster waffle, by the time it pops up on its own, it's burnt. :( It's hard to get things out of, too, even with the lifter feature. It doesn't boost an english muffin up high enough to reach, so I'm always having to unplug it to get things out with a fork. I wouldn't buy it again and wouldn't recommend,

Question: What is the volume that the mugs will hold?

I got the Rachael Ray Dinnerware Holiday Hoot 16-Piece Dinnerware Set to use this Christmas. The set arrived very well packed--double boxed and each piece insulated with cardboard.The set is both dishwasher and microwave safe, which is a big plus for me. It is made of porcelain and it looks and feels like high quality cookware. The contemporary design isn't stuffy or traditional. It is lighthearted and fun. I really like the stars.The set is a "four of each" type set - four 5.5 inch bowls, four 8 inch plates, four 10.5 inch plates and four 11 ounce mugs. For a small family, it is a nice set. For a larger gathering, you might want more than one set.Overall, this is a nice, high quality set you won't be embarrassed to put in front of guests. But it's also versatile and functional so you don't have to worry about it like fine heirloom porcelain that's been handed down. I already ordered the optional serving platter and bowl and I look forward to using this during the Holiday Season.

Question: Does the vacuum have a filter?

I bought this vacuum on the recommendation of a major consumer product review organization; while two vacuums had higher ratings, this one cost about half as much. For the most part, I am glad I did not spend the extra money.First and foremost, it has adequate power for the job and the rotary beaters are efficient. I had used an old Hoover for over 12 years and thought I was getting my carpet clean, I was deluded. The difference in the looks of the carpet was immediately apparent. The Eureka was far more effective. Secondly, it is clean. It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate. There was no fine dust in the air or dust smell. The accessories mount on the body of the vacuum, but while convenient they are not completely secured. The brush falls off occasionally. It is very easy to shift from floor cleaning to the hose attachments; you simply turn the handle of a valve on the upper body of the vacuum. The extensions are long enough to reach an 11 ft ceiling. Shifting to different carpet pile heights is also easy and convenient.The consumer organization gave two reasons for not giving this vacuum a top rating. First they said it was not the as easy to maneuver as it might be. This is true; other vacuums are easier to shove about and this one is not power assisted. They also dinged it for being noisier than the two more expensive vacuums. While this is probably true, after the ol' Hoover I was delighted at how quite it was. Also making it quieter would affect the price. The plastic of the body could be a bit more rugged but again this would increase the price. My home is small; if you really spend a lot of time behind a vacuum, you probably want to spend a bit more. This lack of rugged construction probably explains the huge variability in the product reviews. Caveat emptor - the instructions advise calling Eureka customer service and NOT taking the machine back to the place where you purchased it if it is defective. This could be a problem. And - some assembly required.All-in-all, good vacuum, value for money.

Question: What clothing item ends up being close to the ground when hung on this object?

I bought this to save on my electricity bill. It can easily hold two large loads if you use hangers and pins (and maybe three if you are very organized or have smaller items). You need to distribute the weight evenly, because it can tip over if too much weight is put on one side. 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). It folds up easily and I just tuck it behind my hamper between uses. The wires can get a bit flimsy if too much weight is put on them, but overall I consider this a good purchase. I have already seen my electric bill go down!

Question: what timer funciton do they like?

It is very simple to use and I don 't know why I stuck with manual timers as long as I did. 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.This timer costs less than any timer I have previously bought but you get a lot of bang for your buck! I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button; I can reset it for the same time again and again.

Question: what did they buy to go on the jars?

These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. This was it! They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

Question: How did the reviewer describe putting the furniture piece together?

After reading all the mixed reviews, I decided to see for myself. All the parts came intact, only one ding I noticed on a piece but I've seen much worse from other DIY furniture. All in all, this is a great piece. It was quite a pain to put together - my BF had to improvise with some drilling and leveling etc that wasn't part of the instructions, but he got it all together and we love it. One drawer sits a little high and requires some force to get it in, but it's not the end of the world. For the price, it's pretty darn good and looks great in our bedroom supporting our flat screen :)

Question: What coffee grinder has the shrieking whir noise?

After perusing coffee grinders for a year - I've found that the Melitta 80395 Burr Grinder meets all of my expectations. A friend has a pretty pricey Capresso and I've coveted it for years. Having tired of buying pre-packaged ground coffee that doesn't meet my taste (at $13. a pound) I decided to take a risk on one that didn't get the same cred, but definitely hit the mark when reviews and dollar value were combined. It works perfectly = and yes, it is noisy (but so it the Capresso) and messy at times (ditto the Capresso). At least it doesn't have the shrieking whir noise of the hand-held grinders = plus you can save yourself the early morning noise assault by grinding several cups in advance...

Question: What type of person is the blender perfect for?

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!
