Question: How many muffins does this person recipe make?

These rings are just what I wanted as they help the English muffin dough to rise rather than spread out, giving them the desired thickness I was trying to achieve. The description says they are 3-3/4 inch diameter, which is correct when the outside of the ring is measured. However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches, so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins. The rings are sturdier than I had anticipated (based on some of the reviews saying they are flimsy). The metal is thicker than cookie cutters for sure. One star removed because the connecting joint on all of the rings is not smooth and will catch on your sponge or cloth when hand washing them. Other than that, I love 'em. My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these!

Question: After the throw was washed, how did it come out of the dryer?

I just received my Pinzon throw today. This is my first review out of hundreds of products I have bought from Amazon or elsewhere. First of all it is throw size, not a blanket. I have been using a Liz Claiborne throw for years that was very soft and very big. It was also in boring beige. I bought the red color to give my chair a little spice. The color is gorgeous. A true jewel red. It is even softer and thicker while feeling a little lighter than my big LC throw. Maybe due to the smaller size. I had read other reviews that said it smelled and must be washed immediately. It did not smell but I thought I should wash it first, according to previous reviews. It says to wash it separately, well I didn't do that ,but I did wash it with other red items and a few white rags, and other items I was willing to risk. It came out of the wash without leaving any color on even the white items. It came out of the dryer nice and fluffy. I just remember I forgot the dryers sheets. Buy it for yourself and others. Can't beat the red color for a Christmas gift. Leave the boring beige for another purchase.

Question: What can be found on the Easy Lunchbox gallery?

We love our Easy Lunch Boxes! I have had a set for 2+ years - from preschool to first grade, and they still are in excellent condition. I do not hand wash, they go through the dishwasher (normal wash/heat dry) and I've had no warping or discoloration.My favorite things about ELBs:no more plastic baggies!No more squished lunches!! (nothing says "yuck" like a flat or half-flat BB&J;)Packing lunch is quick and easy - just assembly-line the boxes!I love that lunches for my two kids and I fit all together in the Easy Lunchbox insulated tote for when we go on picnics in the park/zoo, we do not need separate lunch bags.and I love all the lunch ideas on the Easy Lunchbox website/gallery. When in a lunch-rut, I check out the photos to keep my kids interested and excited in their lunches.For "leaky" items like apple sauce, canned fruit, veggie dip, etc., I just put a little Press-n-Seal over that compartment. It is rare that I pack that sort of thing though, I usually get applesauce cups and they drop right into the middle-sized compartment with no problem, and sit low enough that the Easy Lunchbox Lid still fits on.

Question: What kind of filter did the author buy first

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. Change the carbon filter every month or so and you can lie to your children about having given up the Pall Malls. I bought the Honeywell 17000 first; it uses the same pre-filter, it's quieter and it probably helps a little. The 50250, however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air. To do that, it has to make a little noise. Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion.

Question: How does the lid fit?

This is a great 3qt saucepan! I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly! The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did! I am very happy with this purchase!

Question: Another quality the customer mentioned was what?

OXO makes really nice equipment and I find myself wishing more of my kitchen of my gear was made by them. I was in need of some new mixing bowls, having a leftover plastic bowl from my mom since college and a very heavy porcelain one.I found this bowl very light to hold in the arm for whisking or stirring. The no-skid bottom is absolutely fantastic and keeps the bowl put for heavy stirring or using a hand mixer. The plastic itself is very sturdy and I haven't had any issues in the dishwasher with it. Top all of that off with the easy pour spout and horizontal handle for pouring (making stacking a cinch) and you have a near perfect bowl.I can't imagine too much making this bowl better. Get it, it's worth the price for sure.

Question: Where did I buy the towels?

I'd ordered Pike Street towels from Amazon previously and been very pleased by how soft, absorbent, and full they were. However, this batch was entirely different. 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. These are much less full and fluffy than the others - when you rub the pile, you can definitely see the fabric underneath. Instead of feeling soft, they feel kind of nubby when rubbed. There were several long strings randomly hanging out from the pile. They're acceptable, and I ended up keeping them for emergency use, but "luxurious" isn't a word I would apply here. On the other hand, they are generously sized. I would say that overall, the price justifies what you get. Be aware the Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display.

Question: Where did the person put their last heater that broke?

I am a little apprehensive when it comes to reviewing space heaters. Most manufacturers in this business keep changing their model numbers every year, so even if a heater gets a rave review this year, you won't be able to find the same model next year. So why bother, right?Having said, I have used this heater for the entire winter season, and it didn't break. This is more than what I can say about another heater which I also bought at around the same time. That heater died a death of clicks in only a couple of months of use. I think it was the thermostat or a relay that went bad. What a shame having to throw away an almost brand new heater in the trash!This heater is different. It is infrared heating, and it has a blower motor. It has a thermostat, which can dial down the heating elements to save you some electricity. It heats up a medium sized room very quickly. For a small bedroom, it is inappropriate as it is too much heat, so I don't recommend this for small rooms. Infrared heating is like forced air heating. It is toasty when the heater is on, but it gets cold very quickly when the heater is off. In a bedroom situation, the blower motor could be too loud for light sleepers. Keep that in consideration. If I have to do this over again, I would probably go for a radiant oil heater which keeps the room temperature more steady.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. 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. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What was used about 200 times?

I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. I would guess I maybe used it 200 times total. Unfortunately one day the spinner motor stopped working. That wasn't a huge deal as it could chill cans really quickly with just the water pump. But eventually the water pump stopped working as well. The thing started smoking one day and completely died. Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer.

Question: What gets the stairs clean?

I am very excited about this vacuum. Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds.Anyway. Pretty much any vacuum would be better than that, but this vacuum works and looks better than most others I've used. Its footprint is of a reasonable size, and I appreciate how contained the components and features are. (In the past I have used cumbersome canister vacuums.) I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. The air powered turbo tool gets the stairs cleaner than they've been in recent memory.Above all, I love the HEPA filter. Ordinarily, vacuuming stirs up dust and pollen and allergens that leave me sneezing for hours. Instead of stirring things up, this vacuum actually picks them up. It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!

Question: What is the small stem of the product made with?

I like the Zero water concept. It delivers on its promise of clean water. However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water.My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it.The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: What is the dehydrator mainly used to dehydrate?

Having read so many negatives, I couldn't believe we are talking about the same product. I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years. I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. I have not had any bad luck with it. Maybe I wasn't expecting a Rolls Royce for the price I paid - but it has certainly paid for itself many, many times over.

Question: What surprised the reviewer abou the toaster?

I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short. The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. The toaster cannot be plugged in to the wall and still be out from beneath the upper cabinets in my kitchen. But that seems to be industry standard now, and it's a good toaster otherwise...the cool touch sides really are, which surprised me. You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use).

Answer: the cool touch sides really are

I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short.

Question: What did this person buy?

OK, this is where I am going to mushy & gushy over a mundane household product...a laundry rack. This is simply stated the best one I have ever owned, and, in my more than seven decades on this planets, I have used everything, from a clothesline on the roof of an apartment building, to the the wooden racks that collapsed by themselves when you put any laundry on them. I do have a dryer, so the rack is for those items that I cannot or should not put in the dryer. It unfolds in a second and is sturdy. It also has two hooks on it so I can hang it on my wire shelves in my laundry area when not in use. It is an Oxo product and they are always high quality and durable. I have been an Oxo fan for years and have never been disappointed. Did you know that Oxo designs were featured in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Design, a branch of the Smithsonian, in Manhattan. This is beautifully designed and practical.

Question: Is the power cord for this vacuum long or short?

The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is a wonderful device for getting to awkward locations. It has a shoulder strap, a long power cord, and several attachments that make reaching corners, ceiling fans, drapes, and the like a snap. The first thing I tried was to clean my oh-so-dusty ceiling fan blades. This was pretty straightforward, although I have high ceilings and needed a step ladder (a 2-stepper.) And it worked, but with caveats. First, ceiling fans move. That complicates things. It took a few minutes of trial and error to get a groove going whereby I could move the brush attachment along the length of the fan blade before the fan presented me with a new blade. (And NO! It was NOT turned on!) Even so, I felt like Lucy and was certain I could hear a laugh track. The vacuum did a pretty good job with the fan blades, but there was still dust when I was finished (meaning, when my arms gave out and I gave up.) To be fair, I have not cleaned our fan blades in a REALLY long time.The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is really light weight and extremely easy to use, making it perfect for a host of other odd uses as well. It did a fantastic job sucking up debris, dust, cat litter, fur, etc. from under the lip of the kitchen kitchen counter and around the base boards, both traditionally difficult places to get completely clean, It easily knocked out the paces between the sofa cushions, and was much easier to use on the stair case than my upright vac.While I still hate to vacuum, the ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM makes it all that much easier. I definitely recommend the ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM for all those hard to get places.

Question: What does the product promise it delivers on?

Answer: clean water

I like the Zero water concept. <hl> It delivers on its promise of clean water . <hl> However, in my area of the country, I go through filters quickly. The filters are expensive, but you have to balance that with the cost of bottled water. My main problem with this company is the design of their 23-cup water dispenser. The one I bought had a design flaw in the button that allows the water to dispense. It has a small stem that is made of plastic and will eventually break. There is no way to repair it. The company promised to replace the dispenser...then I waited, and waited...the customer service people kept stalling. Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser, but they sent me coupons for more filters! Incredible!A company that has such disregard for its customers does not deserve my business. I will never buy another one of their products.

Question: What has the reviewer made in this pan?

Bought this pan about a month ago, and have been using it constantly. I've made burgers and steak and they've come out beautifully -- nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside. It also makes the best grilled cheese (I use my tea kettle -- filled with water -- as a grill press). I also used it a few times to make grilled bread to accompany soups and salads (touch of garlic-infused olive oil brushed on the surface)and it has really infused the bread with flavor. I find cleaning relatively easy, but you need to let the pan cool first. Then I place it in the sink, squirt dishwashing liquid in it and fill with hot water. Let it soak about 1/2 hour and whatever is stuck on wipes off easily. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Question: What did they set the dial to?

In 2006, I bought the older version of this heater from Gaiam. The heater did not have a fancy digital display, or a remote. During the coldest months of the year, energy usage in my home decreased considerably by simply setting the dial to the energy saver symbol. I was so pleased with the savings that I purchased a second heater to be used in other areas of my home. One heater will easily heat and maintain room temperature in a 350 sq ft living space. I'm not the only one enjoying the comfort of this heater. When my cats hear the click of the knob, they run to the source.

Question: what has to be checked every time the writer uses the vacuum?

It is so easy to use, I can stand in one spot and vacuum a large area at one time. Having two batteries is great, as the one in it (not in the charging holder) goes down quickly, but the back-up finishes my house. Three problems: 1. There's a screw on the side between the handle and the bottom that won't stay screwed in. 2. The bristles have to be checked every time to clean it, with my shoulder-length hair. 3. The dust holder just barely stays on the unit; the button that holds it in place barely fits right.It was real easy to put together from the box.But it picks up great and fast and easy, and always amazes me that I can make such a mess to fill the filter!

Question: How does the smaller version of the steam press work?

I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. The surface where the clothes lay on never gets too hot, unless the lower steamer is applied, which this produce does not have. I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well. It saves time in pressing, but you need to know the techinques to position the shirts and pants so that you'll get nice creases. Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser. Steam does not come out from the pressing pad.In order to block sweaters, position the sweater so that it is flat and then lower the pressor lid to 'almost' touching the sweater and let the sweater steam a few seconds. You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. Next, move sweater around and repeat until entire sweater has been steam blocked.

Question: What did this person buy?

I am a big fan of this one. (yuck, yuck) Actually, the fan works very well. It's speeds are noticably different depending on your need and the thermostat settings really work. I bought one for a room where and AC was not practical and it worked like a charm. I now have three of them and even in the largest room, it does a great job. Not silent, but not distracting. A great buy - especially with the three-year warantee.

Question: Is the wok hard to get food off?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: Aside from the initial cost, what other fees can you expect wen owning a vacuum?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: How does the steamer move across the floor?

I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. Now I wonder why the hell I took so long to use it. It is incredibly easy to use. Just fill the container with water, turn it on and glide it across the floor. It is very light weight and easy to maneuver. The first time I used it though I accidentally kept it in one spot for a little too long - now there's a white cast on the floor about 6 inches long. :(After cleaning, I rubbed a paper towel on the floor to see if it would come away clean... sadly, it was still slightly brown but the floors felt a lot cleaner. I tried it again after the second use and the floors seem cleaner than the 1st time.This is my first steamer so I can't compare it to others but I would definitely recommend it.

Question: When might I need a spare part?

I have owned many different bread machines, and still do. The Zojirushi, the Panasonic and the Breadman Ultimate.This Zojirushi is becoming my favorite!It turns out great tasting, great looking loaves of bread every time.And the sourdough starter cycle does wonders.My only complaint is that the pan is not very nonstick. You have to shake it pretty hard to get the bread out. But big deal - as long as it comes out I'm happy!As far as Zo's customer service, I've never had any trouble. I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. By spare parts I mean just that - spare. I have not had any defects. I just like having a spare pan etc on hand in case one gets scratched. No trouble getting them on the phone, no trouble with my order.I have absolutely no complaints. Zojirushi makes great, innovative products and you should not hesitate to get this machine.

My only complaint is that the pan is not very nonstick. You have to shake it pretty hard to get the bread out. But big deal - as long as it comes out I'm happy!As far as Zo's customer service, I've never had any trouble. I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. By spare parts I mean just that - spare. I have not had any defects. <hl> I just like having a spare pan etc on hand in case one gets scratched. No trouble getting them on the phone, no trouble with my order. <hl> I have absolutely no complaints. Zojirushi makes great, innovative products and you should not hesitate to get this machine.

Question: What are the two wattage settings of the product?

I love this. I feel it is overpriced, but am not downgrading it for that because I still I haven't found anything else in this class. It is small, one foot tall, and has a great carry handle built into the back near the top. NONE of the outside surfaces get hot, even on high, and if it is picked up or tipped the safety tab on the bottom cuts it off instantly, so it is very safe for the kids and animals to be around. This is very important to us.The settings are 450 and 900 watts. The low setting is somewhat warming, the high really puts it out!When it is on, the ring around the switch on top glows so it is clear when it is on. It blowsabout a 90 degree width into the room.I wish there was a one hour setting on the timer, to go to sleep by. And I wish they would make a smaller personal one with a 200 or 250 watt setting.

Question: What was on the passenger's seat that was perfect?

I bought a new car and had a dilemma. When I have a passenger in my front seat I would put my purse on the back seat...the new car had much more room back there and I could no longer get my purse back! This hook hanging on the passenger seat was perfect. It's not overly big so it's not really an eyesore which is something I was concerned about (new car, remember?). I rarely use the second hook but I have hung a water bottle on it when I needed the cup holder space. The quality/sturdiness is excellent. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is it would be nice to have a single hook option.

Question: How quickly did the iron shut itself off?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Answer: about 3 minutes

Question: How many days did they go without until filters were bought?

I am pleased with the coffee maker, but not with Mr. Coffee. I was surprised to learn that it came with ZERO filters. The description did not say any filters were included, so this was my bad. However, one would think that they would include a couple with the machine just so you could use it when you got it. Like I said this was my fault.I ran aboout 3 tanks of water through it, and left it open overnight (actually two days while I got filters) before making any coffee and there is no plastic taste or smell.I believe I will really like this machine.

Question: What happens to the water?

I am really happy with this Electric Water Kettle. I am a big tea drinker, and I have tried other types of hot water makers, only to have them leak all over. This pot is fast and easy to use. It's very convenient, easy to fill, and the water actually boils, which is essential for good tea. The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups. It's just so easy! If you're a tea person, this pot is definitely for you.

Question: When was the review written?

I almost never give more than four stars to a functional product such as cookware. Why? If something does a task that it was designed to do, that doesn't automatically qualify it for rave reviews. It means it is good and effective. But I must tell you, I quite fell in love with this Circulon Symmetry Ultimate Stir Fry pan over the holidays. As the name would imply, this is a pan that might be used in place of a regular fry pan but its design lends itself to wok style cooking. It has a real versatility and depth to make it an essential piece in our household.Cons: The only negative thing that might affect someone buying the pan is that it is quite heavy. I think this is actually a plus, but just a shout-out to those for whom this may be an issue.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. Sturdy and durable, hence the aforementioned weight. Looks great. And this one (surprisingly) is genuinely made to be dishwasher safe. That's a big bonus on professional style cookware.We have done some stir fry in this pan, but I suspect we'll be using it for much more varied cooking. I don't really gush over pots and pans, but this one is a winner. KGHarris, 11/12.

Question: Can you use the pre-sealed K-cup at the same time?

Easy to fill and clean. Fits perfectly, but you first have to remove the original K-cup holder already in the machine when you purchased it. With some tugging and prying, the original K-cup holder pops right out. The new filter basket slips right into place. When you want to brew a pre-sealed K-cup, you have to remove this device and put the original basket back in. This is just plain annoying.I like that the top snaps on and off easily. It keeps all the coffee grinds contained in the filter. Nothing spills out. I do, however, find a bit of sludge in the bottom of my coffee cup. I don't notice a decline in taste or strength of the coffee. The filter makes as good a cup of coffee as the sealed K-cups. It has to be removed, cleaned and refilled after every cup.This K-filter is nothing but cheap plastic and a little bit of mesh. It shouldn't cost more than $2.99 at best. Keurig should have placed this cheap plastic gizmo in with their machines instead of charging an extra $15 for it. It's disgusts me that this crucial filter didn't come with the machine.

Question: How many stars did they originally give?

EDIT: I will leave my original review below for historical purposes, but I should amend it to more accurately reflect the product. I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars.Make sure you read the instructions carefully. You have to press firmly on the center to push out all the air and then they do stick a lot better. They have an extra sticky bit around the rim of each cup which also helps them stick, but it can make it a real pain to pull them off the window and it tends to leave behind a sticky residue. The instructions list some recommendations about cleaning this residue off.=====Original review below=====I purchased these to hang some Christmas lights from the insides of my windows. The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. I was using 3 suction cups.In short, they lasted less than 5 minutes before they fell down. I tried multiple times to get them to stay up with no success.

Question: Who did they email?

Purchased this as my first ever slow cooker. When I received it I was very disappointed to discover that the lighting in the display was broken and it would not cycle through all of the programming options. I received it on a Friday, discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday. Monday morning they had already over nighted me a new machine and provided a label to return the broken one. Tuesday morning I was back in business and the new one works perfect. It's a beautiful machine and works perfect! Love that it switches to warm when the food is done. It's a bit big for just my husband and I but we have lots of leftovers for lunches. I think I was just unlucky enough to receive a defective one but overall very happy with my purchase and VERY VERY happy with Amazon, as always.

Question: where are you learn the working process of  Kitchenaid Mixer

I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. I got this roller to try out making my own ravioli's. I hate rolling out dough.I attached this to my Kitchenaid Classic 4.5Q and it fit and worked perfect. After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out. It is easy and kind of fun.I would recommend this to anyone that has a kitchenaid mixer. I also recommend if you have never used one to check out some videos on youtube to understand it more.Now I only need to get the ravioli maker. :)

Question: What does it do more than the picture implies?

I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

Question: What is on the bottom?

I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. The only hassle was sorting whites, colors and reds each laundry day. This sorter is fantastic! It is constructed of metal frame and the 3 bags are very good quality fabric. The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them. This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier. PS.. the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it. I highly recommend this sorter.
