Question: how many functions does this scarper have?

I've been very happy with this scrapper.It's worth knowing that unlike many scrapers this one relies on being sharp instead of being thin and flexible to scrape. I'm not sure if I find this to be an advantage or a disadvantage. It makes it a more multi-functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role. I'm certainly not going to try and find a different scraper, just thought the difference was worth mentioning.The markings on the blade are very helpful and the nice thick handle makes it easy to use.

Question: What brand makes their preferred grabbers?

These things are a bit difficult to get use to when gripping things. I found that I could not remove my Lodge cast iron skillet from the oven using one of these, it took two. I much prefer my Farberware Pro Silicone Grabbers. You can get them here at Amazon. Gripping the skillet handle with the OXO puts the cloth part in contact with the pan, and on a gas stove, the flame, so that is out. I can see how keeping your thumb out of the holder would improve your grip, but who wants to keep their hand out of the holder reaching into a 400 degree oven? The Silicone Grabbers are a much better tool for my needs.

Question: Is the product heavy or light weight?

After initial puzzlement I figured out how to put it together and it was not easy. I am stubborn so I got it to work. However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo. It was not good looking enough to put where I originally wanted it. It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. However I did have another corner in the back of the room where it could live and look ok so there it stays. I had not realized that it was only a thin wicker front. The support rods are very difficult to get together so I would never take the cloth bag out because of its snug fit which is what actually holds everything together. I will use it but I do not recommend that anyone else purchase it. Use your $ to put toward some other basket type or the mesh fold-ups.

Question: What do they recommend for the batter amount?

To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. If you do overflow do not try to clean it right away - you'll make a battery mess. Wait for it to harden - the maker will be hot so this will not take long. The mess will then flake right off.3. Do not expect the timer to tick off evenly - it will tick off the first couple lights slowly and then the rest comparatively quickly. You have to keep an eye on it.Having said all of that, I love this waffle maker. I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. Clean-up and storage is very easy if you wait to clean it up until after it cools and any spilt batter has gotten crusty. Now if I could only find the perfect batter.....

Question: What type of lid does the thermos have?

Our family of four has a variety of Thermos brand products. I like the quality of their products, they're made to last. We're still using the same Thermos bottle we bought for my daughter when she started Kindergarten five years ago. I like buying and using products from companies who make things that aren't disposable like so much of what is available these days.I love the color of this thermos and have the same color in the short stout 16 oz. version that we use for soups and stews and warm meals. This 24 oz. thermos is also really nice, though it is big. It's about ten and a half inches around, and thankfully fits in my car's cup holder.I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. And the spring loaded lid has a button to flip open the top, which I think is nicer that some of the other lids we have on our drink bottles. Another other thing I like is that when you are drinking from it there are no guzzling noises. My husband has a lovely big thermos from LL Bean (another company that makes quality products) but when he drinks out of it it makes this hideous noise (like fingernails on a chalkboard).I continue to be pleased with the products we have that are made by Thermos.

Question: after using the product, how much oil did the reviewer need to use?

Now this is what I'm talking about! After trying several stir-fry pans that ranged from passable to dismal, the Circulon left them all in the dust. It's solidly constructed and hefty without being heavy, and the high sides make grease spatters almost non-existent. In fact, I found I needed to use less oil than usual as the heat didn't disperse but stayed in the pan. It distributes heat around the cooking surface extremely well with no hot spots and everything cooked perfectly. Cleanup was a cinch. Pour in some hot water and liquid detergent, swipe thoroughly with a sponge, and every bit of food comes right off. The pan emerged absolutely pristine. The size makes it great for cooking for anywhere from one to six people. This pan is definitely a winner and worth every single dime.Judy Lind

Question: what type of product is being reviewed?

First of all, let's get to the minor flaws. This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. That's pretty much it for the negatives. Everything else about this product works for me. It kept my food warm for a loooong time, and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime. Plus, the handles are easy to grip, so you can carry this with ease(just know that's it's kind of heavy).So, if you don't mind the size and the weight, this crockpot can be a good addition to your kitchen.

Question: What is the maximum area that the portable A/C unit able to cool?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

Question: What did the reviewer do because a regular spatula makes serving a hassle?

Bought this because using a regular spatula to serve food like cake or lasagna is a hassle. Didn't know serving spatula's existed but I wasn't surprised. I've bought Oxo Good Grips before and was very satisfied so I checked to see if they had something that would solve my problem and came across this. It's definitely made serving food a breeze.

Question: What is your main problem with the old type scales?

After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions, I bought a food scale. I actually first bought a different food scale. It was a cheap old fashioned scale that seemed to do the job just fine. After a couple months of use, I noticed myself tapping the scale, moving the items around, and it dawned on me. I was still cheating my portions!!! It was subconscious; I had developed habits that made the scale weigh the items lighter than they really were. Plus, when you are talking one ounce portions of crackers, the accuracy is just way off with those old fashioned scales.Thus, I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the extra cash for this digital scale. It was an eye opening experience. I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. Moral of the story is that if you are serious about portion control, you need this scale - not just a scale - THIS scale. It is the only thing that keeps me in check.

Question: What helps bring beer to a drinkable temperature within about a 10 minute time?

Good beer tastes best cooled to between fifty and sixty degrees. Bad beer should be cooled until it's too cold to taste. Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can. Bad beer takes a little longer, but if you're lucky, by then you will have found something else to drink.Don't overchill good beer: it becomes hard to taste. Don't drink beer that has to be near-frozen to be palatable: it's bad for the spirit.Lynn Hoffman, author ofNew Short Course in Wine,Theand the profoundly moving,Beer and the Nature of the Universe

Question: what material is the product made from?

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible. My next problem is with the key magnet. The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. If you have any extra doodads or more keys, it probably won't be able to hold it and the magnet usually just pops right out along with your keys. This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.

Question: Who does the author recommend this knife to?

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it.Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat.I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. And if I ever get around to cooking myself one of those big steamship rounds, well, I'm all ready for the slicing ! This knife is great for hams and turkey breasts as well.My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. Just know that you may not be getting the optimum performance out of this knife if you haven't sharpened it since it arrived.If you serve much meat, I wholeheartedly recommend you consider this knife. Nothing beats it for the ability to produce beautiful slices with a minimum of effort and skill.

Answer: If you serve much meat,

When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it. Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat. I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches.

Question: What base color were the the stripes over?

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special.The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent. One side is nubby less and absorbent. The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.

Question: What do other glasses have that is hard to clean?

I find these wine glasses great for many reasons. Top among them: easy to clean. Most full size 18 to 20 oz glasses are too deep for my fingers to reach the bottom when washing, and the rim opening too small for me to comfortably fit my hand through. Other glasses also often have a dimple in the bottom of the cup section that can be difficult to clean out. While helping with portion control, and taking much less [valuable] cabinet space, these glasses are super easy to clean. The buttom of the cup area is rather flat, and the cup is not too deep for me to easily reach the bottom with my middle and index finger without trying to squeeze my hand thru the rim.All that being said, having owned them about a month now, they pass all the standard checks: sturdy as standard wine glasses, symmetrical, good vertical alignment (not angled base as found on cheap glasses), arrived fully intact (none damaged/broken). I am not a somm' by any means, but for my $2.50-chuck and weekend $10 wine... these fit the bill.

Question: What does this store

I got this beautiful wine rack to store both wine for my wife and corked beers for me. The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. The wood is beautiful and eye catching. The style is simple, but modern. It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades. I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. If you're looking for a good sized wine rack that is functional and beautiful then look no further than this gem.

Question: For the price, which is a great deal?

I also have a DC27 which is heavy and I don't really like as the connector hose between the power head and the vacuum keeps disconnecting and the extension hose is tight which is why I got this one. The Hoover is much lighter and has a longer & more flexible hose but to use the handheld part, you have to manually disconnect and then reconnect the hose. To get the long hose, you need to connect in the hose extension as well. The Dyson sucks from the power head when the handle is tilted (assuming the hose underneath hasn't come undone) and from the wand when locked upright which is superior when it works. For the price, the Hoover is a great deal but frankly I would have returned it if I hadn't already put all the packaging into the recycle bin.

Question: Where did they find it half priced?

Cute novelty pan, but do not recomend for the 3D version cake. I used this for Thanksgiving and made the pumpkin cake recipe that came with the pan, it was good but had to bake a lot longer than recomended, and the head of the turkey over cooked and would not put together for the 3D version cake. I was dissapointed in this. I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake. Cornbread would be cute! I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. You might want to shop around.

Question: Where did we get the waffle recipe?

We decided we wanted to make Belgian waffles at home and the ability to turn the waffles over while baking seemed like a good idea. We've had the old kind of waffle maker and the first waffle was always a throw away. We were fully prepared to throw out the first waffle, but to our amazement, it came out perfect. Nothing went to waste. We followed the instructions, and the waffles were crispy outside and nice inside. We used the yeast raised waffle recipe that came with the waffle maker. We'll try a different recipe next time, because there are several that sound good. We don't make waffles often, but it's nice to know we can make good ones whenever we have a craving for waffles.

Question: How many ounces does the mug hold?

I have to say I was leery at first at the spill-proof claims, based on life experience with travel cups, mugs and tumblers.However, this is absolutely that - 100% spill-proof. Great shape for gripping, fits in the cupholders and keeps my coffee hot for the drive in each morning.Did I mention it comes in enough colors to match anybody's tastes? My blue one is almost the same color as my 10th Anniversary Edition Miata so I am pleased there.The only possible improvement I would ask for is a larger size in the same design. 16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly. However, where is the fun in that? I loaded it up with a carbonated citrus soda on ice and demonstrated its failure to leak for my wife by inverting it several times. When I lifted the cup to my mouth and pressed the trigger, I got a virtual fountain of beverage propelled directly into my mouth. The laughter from my wife was worth the small cleanup effort required afterward. Seriously, non-carbonated drinks probably ARE better in the long run, unless you are trying for the comedy effect.

Question: What missing feature lead the reviewer to lower their rating?

Just started using this. First K cup machine purchase (dual brewing system). The K Cup side is limited to 10oz per brewing, which in my house means at least 2 KC to a "real" mug of coffee. Maybe that's normal for K Cup brewers, but I think it's a bit wasteful -packaging-wise and means you have to hang out to brew the second one before drinking your full-mug of coffee. I'll adapt :-) Drink half now and then brew more? The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out. Don't really like that BOTH warmers heat up -instead of just the one you are using. The main pot got pretty darn hot while I was using the KC side. Only other thing to mention is it's a bit loud when it brews using the KCup side. Space is ok, appearance is ok. I would say it's a good purchase if the price is good. I think the dual brew option is the primary reason we purchased this particular machine, so with that in mind I'd give it a 5 star rating, but the lack of a temperature setting along with no separate warming option is why it's a 4 star IMO.

Question: What is at the top of the shower caddy designed for hanging?

Plastic so not rust. Never owned a plastic shower caddy until this one and I prefer it over the others. Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed. The suctions cups are ineffective on my tile but I never have use for the suction cups anyway. I did not need to drill holes even though there is not existing drainage holes. The shelves on the caddy are have a very slight slant and dry out without any problems.

Question: Even what product will not get rid of the glue covered surfaces?

The actual product is smaller than it appears to be on the website. However, it is far too big for the kitchen (as it holds about a five year supply of sea salt) and too small for a bathroom, should you wish to use it there (it holds perhaps enough salt for maybe four baths).The real problem:Not shown in the picture are large labels top and bottom, which are ugly. The labels are attached with glue, which you must spend at least an hour or more trying to remove the labels piece by piece.Even goo gone will not take away the glue covered surfaces top and bottom. What your left with is an item that will look used (like you picked it up at a garage sale).Also, the magnets top and bottom are in such a location that it is impossible to align the lid with the base.While the picture looks nice, this product, due to the unattractive labels and poor alignment, has been reduced to a throw away product.

Question: What happens if you do not empty the container frequently enough?

if you are deciding what kind of machine to get, think of this: do i want frothing or not. if your preference is froth, then this machine is for you. the frothing is excellent. if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp). when i got my machine, one of the glasses was cracked. i emailed the company and they corrected the problem right away. they do have good customer service. the machine is nice, though mostly cheap plastic. my main compliants are: regular coffee is terrible, not a lot of variety of coffee, and no organic coffee, so far. another problem, at least for this model, is all the water does not drain out and there always is a little in the container. so unless you use it daily or keep dumping out the container, the water will get stale. cleaning the water container is a lot of work too, especially in the corners. you can also accumulate bonus points for free stuff. problem with it is they only give you 5 points per box and you need 100 to get something free. i would get a demonstration and taste if you can before getting this.

Question: What broke after one use?

This came in very handy during a recent move. I used the large bag to carry frozen meat. I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes. When I removed the meat from the bag, it was still mostly frozen. Only one end was beginning to thaw. For an ordinary shopping trip, this bag would be ideal for groceries. The only negative is that the construction could be better. After only one use, the zipper has broken. I really like the bag that folds into a small package. This came in handy for transporting some clean laundry. It's small size and the clip make it very easy to keep handy.

This came in very handy during a recent move. I used the large bag to carry frozen meat. I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes. When I removed the meat from the bag, it was still mostly frozen. Only one end was beginning to thaw. For an ordinary shopping trip, this bag would be ideal for groceries.

Question: What feature do they find very helpful?

Our Gaggia Espresso machine does not fit on a counter near our sink, and this espresso stein saves us 4 trips to the sink and back, so we can brew our coffee much more quickly. It is large enough to hold the grinds of 4 double filters, and we especially like the padded bar on which we tap the filter to loosen the grinds. The padding is thick and covered with heavy grade material that seems to me (even though we've had the stein only a few weeks) will hold up very well. It empties easily into the garbage and rinses clean. We're very happy with our purchase.

Question: What is the name of the iron?

So far, this is my favorite of every iron I've ever had, and I've been ironing for more than half-a-century. If there's anything to not like about it, I haven't found it yet. I love the longer cord, which is perfect - long enough to make a real difference but not so long it gets in the way. Even though I set up my ironing board against a wall with an outlet, I've always felt like I was straining the cord when using other irons.Other pluses for this iron include how easy it is to fill the water reservoir spill-free, it heats up very quickly and produces lots of steam when I want steam and the heft is just right, not too heavy. I also like the design, which looks and feels well-balanced, and Ultraglide is a fitting name to describe its ease of use with the "slick" soleplate. But I love that cord, my favorite feature.I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of this iron.

Question: How many times did he have to take it apart?

I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. As with any pressed board furniture quality can well suck. I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years. The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items. Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability.

Question: How many times did the 12 cup coffee pot work?

I'm like one of the other reviewers. I've owned the 3 cup, 6 cup, and when my husband constantly asked me to make another cup for him in the morning, I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes.Well it didn't work out that way. The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. But then it was a crap shoot.Sometimes it would brew the coffee, while other times it would not. Now it just won't push the steam through at all. After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. Not worth the head ache. I've gone back to using my trusty old 6 cup espresso maker.

Question: What country was the bin manufactured in?

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 does one not have to worry about when using the item?

I bought one for myself and loved it so much I purchased more for my employees for xmas. They all use them and love them. They are buying more for their family members and even buying baby bottles from the same company. I think these are a must for everyone. If you care about yourself and you care about what is or isn't in your drink. No chemicals seeping into your water and whatever this outside is made of is amazing. The whole thing goes into your dishwasher and comes out sparkling clean. I would however, advise that you take the rubber seal out of the cap and rinse before using it out of the dishwasher or wash the rubber seal by hand. BTW, noticed that the ones with the drinking spout are more popular than the ones without. Fabulous bottle and you will love it. I highly recommend to anyone.

Question: What is the difficulty level to clean the colander?

I really like this version of collapsable colander. I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it but it was really hard to hold let alone dump something in it from a heavy water filled pan. I didn't have enough arms!! So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. Its easy to clean. Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. Brilliant invention.

Answer: easy

Question: What type of milk did the author initially use?

The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. Using 1/2 cup of natural Greek yogurt as a starter, 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of dry milk, I get good yogurt in 10 hours. (There are instructions that go with these ingredients that are too long to list here.) It's still slightly thinner than I like, so I'm going to try using 2% milk next time.The big drawback I've found, which I initially thought would be a plus, is the six 6-oz. jars. I didn't know this, but you don't add flavoring until the yogurt is fully incubated, so having separate containers is no particular advantage. In fact, it's less convenient, since I still empty the yogurt into a small bowl before eating it, and that's when I mix in any fruit or flavoring I want. Consequently, the next yogurt maker I buy will be one with a large, 1-qt. container rather than the small individual ones.

Question: what size is the drawer?

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: What made the other vacuum fun?

This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement. They aren't light, so as great as I think they are, they aren't fun to carry up and down stairs.The older version had a button that retracted the cord. It was fun to watch the cord come home and this one is old-fashioned by comparison. So, the fun factor is gone. Likely, there must have been some complications with the push-button.One of the first duties of this vacuum was to remove broken glass inside my daughter's car, recently broken into by shattering a car window. It sucked up everything great, including nooks and crannies, and the cannister was easy to empty safely. I had some vision of opening the cannister only to have the contents pop out, but that wasn't the case at all.I do like the swivel action on the vacuum and overall am pleased with it. If I have any concern, it's durability. The older version did have some of it's plastic components break. I don't think this will be the last vacuum cleaner you ever buy, but it will do you well for a few years.

Question: What did they previously try?

My husband is always cold, even under plenty of covers. We've tried electric blankets - but the heat they produce is spotty and uncomfortable. Not to mention the wires, the unit clicking on and off, etc. This heated mattress pad uses very low voltage and you can't feel the wires. It's absolutely quiet. He loves it and is able to keep it on low. We also like the auto shut off, so we don't worry that it might get left on by mistake. The quality is unbelievable. Machine wash and dry. What could be better. Well worth the cost.
