Question: What does it not contain?

I've used these now for about 2 months now. When I'm cutting veggies, or chicken, or beef, I set the mat on top of my bamboo cutting board to work. They help me avoid cross-contamination between different kinds of foods and proteins, and help keep my cutting board clean. The color-coding is instantly identifiable, even if you don't see the picture. The flexibility of the mat allows me to cut the food bend the mat, and dump it into the bowl. I can't think of one thing that would improve these. They seem ideally suited for what they are designed for. I like that they have Microban and are BPA free (very important to me) and they are dishwasher safe and that they don't dull your knives. A must for everyone's kitchen .. plus they don't take up a lot of space.

Question: Why was there a trip to the ER?

I like the feel of wood handles, but the handle on this is still quite good.It doesn't have the weight of some knives, but so far that's just a matter of "feel"As a tool for cutting, it works really well. It's very sharp, at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. This wasn't while I was using it. I put it in a place that in hind sight wasn't a good idea. And while reaching for something shoved a finger against the edge. The result was a very deep but very straight/clean cut almost to the bone. Ooops?No urge to rate it down for my own mistake.The drop in one star is just for lighter feel and the edge flutes that haven't helped with any of the things I've been cutting. I had really hoped they would help but they haven't at least for cutting veggies or other very wet things.The weight is a bit of an issue for chopping. But maybe this style blade isn't used for that normally. Not being a serious cooker or chef, I don't know.

Question: Who is this set most ideal for?

I'm tired of plastic containers that eventually look cruddy (try putting chili in one) or newer pieces of Pyrex/Anchor Hocking glassware that easily break. They are no longer made using borosilicate glass, and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality. Lock & Lock glass containers are made from borosilicate, and their pieces offer many qualities essential for kitchen/entertaining use.I appreciate containers that can withstand oven, microwave and freezer use. With proper care, these look like they will hold up well. I like the simple design and attractive lids--food looks appealing enough to serve "as is." No need to switch out to another bowl when serving to company at home or at away get-togethers.Make sure you know what size pieces you are getting. The picture for this eight piece set makes the containers look larger than they actually are. This set is ideal for empty-nesters or recipes that call for about two servings. The two identical square bowls are only .48 quart size (that will hold a little less than 2 cups of something) and the two round containers are 1.37 quart (6 1/2 cups) and 0.8 quart (about 3 cups). These are definitely not going to serve a crowd.All in all a nice product, but I wish they were more reasonably priced.

Question: What are some uses of this food processor?

I've gone through several food processors in the past few years, and this is by far the best I have ever used. The 12 cup capacity is the perfect size in my opinion: it's large enough to puree large batches of soups, but small enough to be practical to mince up a few cloves of garlic (especially with the mini bowl attachment).I haven't found anything this device can't do. I've liquefied onions for sauces, pureed soups, made doughs, etc, and this thing has taken care of them all. The only downside is that this base of the device is pretty darn hefty...but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful. I used to drag it out of the cabinets each time I needed it, but now I just keep it out on my counter--it's pretty enough to be on display, and useful enough to make its presence there practical.

Question: In what direction does the steam go?

PROS:- Nice design.- Blue lights can be switch On and Off.- Easy to clean.- Good amount of steam.- Tank is easy to open and carry.CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. 8 hours. So You have to refill every day.- Steam only goes up straight, the angled attachment seems not working great.

Question: Are the pans dishwasher safe?

These are really nice non-stick pans. They are very attractive as well. I got the blue speckle and I think that is probably the most attractive color choice.Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. I don't think they are dishwasher safe though, as I saw nothing about that in the literature that came with the pans or online. If they were dishwasher safe I am almost certain they'd tout that.There isn't much more to say other than they work just like a frying pan should.The smaller pan is perfect for when I'm just cooking something small for me, the larger pan is great for the family. I am really thrilled to own these. They seem like they will last quite awhile with proper care, of course if my opinion changes I will update this review to match.

Question: The pasta maker had what kind of crank?

This pasta maker is really easy to use. Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. Once thin enough, throw on your pasta attachment to select the type of pasta you want- either spaghetti or fettuccine and feed the dough through using the hand crank- and presto! you have fresh pasta. It's really that easy to use.Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack. I highly recommend this for anyone considering making pasta.

Question: The customer also is impressed by how long it keeps a pot of cofee what?

This coffee maker does a good job of brewing a fine tasting cup of coffee.The controls are simple and easy to read.It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours.Our last Krups machine was easier to add both water and grounds. The one piece access cover to both coffee grounds and water addition make it somewhat clumsy to do a fast clean job.There is a tiny little target to add water and the top gets in the way of draining the carafe into the water reservoir.I don't care for cleaning the stainless lid much either but I'm retired and lazy as the day is long! The carafe is not so easy to empty the last drop out of either. It did not meet our expectations and I would not purchase it again.I hope Krups comes out with a better design by the time we need to buy another.

Question: What kind of squeegee does the vacuum have?

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 is a benefit of the product?

Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack.

Question: What do you need to be careful buying?

I tried these years ago and they work just great. You do have to be a little cautious when buying some of the off brands, but I have had no problem with these. There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall.

Question: What is the one con of this set?

I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 not the $95.99 they are currently listed for. WHAAATTT??? Philyodaddy never gets conned like that!Here is a ranked order of things I look for in a Knife Set:1) Sharp as hell2) Sharp as hell3) Sharp as hell4) looks prettyThat is the entire list. I am not nearly proficient enough in the kitchen to have other requirements. The knives are sharp as hell. They cut the crap out of stuff. I enjoy showing off their sharpness to amazed visitors (more realistically, I just show my girlfriend over and over again). Look how easy it is to cut through lemons! You try! Case closed. They are also a pretty good looking knife set. I'm not sure I needed 18 knives, because I only know what about 8 of them do, but it is impressive looking and really makes people know that I'm the boss.I purchased them about 1 month ago, so I cannot objectively weigh in on the rust-issue (I have none at this point). Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. Please note the massive size before you follow me to sharpcity.Update 11/15/13 - I can now objectively weigh in on the rust-issue. Non-factor. That is all.

Question: What's the difference with the crank style?

I've been looking for ages for a replacement for my crank-style nut grinder, without any luck. Decided to give in and try this style. Mistake! The nuts don't grind evenly. They all stay in the chamber during chopping, whereas the crank style drops them through a grate once they're ground small enough. With this one I end up with some big pieces that never got chopped, a bunch of pieces of various sizes, plus a lot of useless "nut powder". That doesn't make for a good baklava (or anything else, really).To make matters worse, the "wave"-shaped blade is impossible to clean, even in the dishwasher, and trying to reassemble it afterward is like doing a puzzle. Just threw it in the trash. Hope you have better luck!

Question: What brand was the first salt and pepper shaker that the reviewer bought?

Spent ages looking for an all in one pepper and salt shaker. First bought a Dansk one from crate and barrel, but the pepper compartment was tiny, so returned that.Very pleased with the operation of this one. Like that you can see through, so you know when you are low, and it grinds and shakes well. Have had it a few months and no problems.

Answer: Dansk

Question: Where did the writer buy the machine?

After using lesser juicers for a couple of years (you can see my reviews of them on amazon) I saw this machine at a store and bought it from amazon. I've been blown away! The best juicer ever. So powerful! Oranges come out bone-dry, every drop of juice goes into the glass. I squeeze fresh orange juice every morning, and I am sure I am saving at least $1 a day because this machine is so much more efficient than all my previous ones. I buy fewer oranges to get the same couple of glasses of juice. At this rate, the machine will pay for itself 100% in 4-5 months. The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash. A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day. It is a simple and effective piece of technology. Several friends have bought identical units after seeing me use mine - and they all love it. I wish all gadgets worked as well as this one!

Question: When will the reviewer change the rating?

This item is more of a space taker than a necessary investment. It works fine, but it is faster and easier to just add ingredients directly to the bowl. Plus, it is one less unnecessary item to wash. After using it a few times it is stored somewhere, but have not bothered to look for it as it will not be used again. Once found it will make a very good item to donate, and I would rate this as a 'want' as opposed to a 'need'.KitchenAid Toll Free Customer Service:1-800-541-6390 - USA1-800-807-6777 - Canada01-800-024-1717- MexicoSnail Mail: Customer Satisfaction CenterKitchenAid Portable AppliancesP.O.

Question: Who did the user buy more of the product for?

My sister bought this for me because I love cooking. I always make huge pots of stew and soups, and having to put the covers upside down on the stove or countertop or in the sink was always a pain and messy. Now with this Progressive lid and spoon rest, the covers, as big as they are, sit right in the slot. I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members. What would make this design even better is if they could make it so that you can store the spoon or ladle upright.

Question: What tastes best when it's served at a cool 50 to 60 degrees f?

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 country does some of the subassemblies for Hoover?

The Hoover is very well made, and to my surprise, right here in the USA. Of course some subassemblies are from Mexico etc., but still, it is nice to have something US made in the household. It cleans the carpets very well, although on stains and heavily soiled areas you do have to slow down drastically, and do the shampoo/dry cycle several times. However it does get everything but very dark and old stains out perfectly well. The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched, because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue. I would highly recommend it.3/2008: Update after 2 years: The Hoover is still going strong, even after some abuse by "borrowers". This is a high quality machine, and our carpets are cleaner than they have ever been.

Question: What heater did they have prior?

We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater.The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try.So far it has kept our large basement at 70 degrees and has not run that much even though it is really cold up here in NE PA.Now if the electric bills are less than last year that will be the icing on the cake. And I am pretty sure they will be, considering our baseboard is an inefficient killowat sucking machine. ;)Update 1/21/10The heater is still working well and has kept my basement at 70 degrees all through the cold, cold winter. We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill.One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold.

Question: What qualities nullifies the ergonomic aspect of the product?

I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about with this product. I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. Yes, it's more ergonomic to hold and it's a little easier for me to slice up small bits of pizza for my toddler, but it's not *all that*. The problem is the thing is so irritating to wash that I find myself just reaching for my regular pizza cutter instead of this one. Basically you have to take it out of its plastic case to wash it which can be rather tricky. I keep worrying I'm going to slice myself with the blade. Even putting it back together after it's clean is a bit nerve racking. Frankly all this business of taking it apart and putting it together sort of nullifies the ergonomic aspect of it for me.I'd say if you already have a pizza cutter that you're happy with you don't need to bother with this thing.

Question: What can an adult easily do to this product due to its lack of stiffness?

Bought two of these to use as a lunch / spot tray for my children. They eat more at lunch if they are allowed to graze while playing. Putting their plates on the floor always ended up in a mishap. These trays have been well received. The kiddos have left their plates on the tray rather than taking them with them to where they are playing and come back and forth to pick. My daughter has also enjoyed using the tray as a coloring spot. They are not super rigid and as an adult you can easily flex them but in my opinion they are great for a childs use.

Question: What should encircle the egg?

Fold a paper towel into thirds.Pulled the egg from the water, drain.Place folded paper towel in left hand, lay in egg, small end up. Lightly close fist with end of egg peeking out of your fist.The towel insulates your hand from heat and cradles egg; end of egg is vertical. Put topper on upper end of egg and lightly encircle base of topper with thumb and forefinger.Tip: Don't let the bottom of the egg rest on your little finger, the little finger should also encircle the egg. The downward pressure from the Topper should be gently absorbed by the paper towel and light fingers pressure.Pull and release topper twice. Often, the egg can be carried by the topper to the egg cup then coaxed off the topper.You still may have to use the tip of an upside down spoon to life the cap.Lastly, I have tried pricking eggs with the gadget. Pricking eggs or not, I see no gain to pricking. If you do, the only difference I saw was a bit of egg white that oozed out.EZ!

Question: Can you use these pan covers to steam food?

I love these covers, I have two (one for a 12" and one for a 14" pan). They are perfect for what I need. I have several large skillets for my induction stovetop that didn't come with lids, these lids fit the bill perfectly. They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? They let out steam if need be and they are easy to clean. Who could ask for more? I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one. Plus the price is much, much lower than the universal lid I purchased. I would definitely buy these again, if I needed to.

Question: What brand is it cheaper than?

I was excited about the shape of this water pitcher since my Brita pitcher took up so much valuable space in my refrigerator and this one does not. The profile is quite slim and attractive. However, the filter is very shallow and takes a while to filter the water before you can fill up the entire pitcher. Also the lid is difficult to remove and replace. It's a bit clunky and awkward.I do like that the filter has a timer that you press to activate that will tell you it's time for new filter. I'm curious to see how much the filter replacements costs versus the Brita pitcher. Even if it is cheaper than the Brita, I think the Filtrete's seductive shape isn't enough to justify my attention.

Question: What did this person buy?

This is a great knife. It's as sharp as anything I've ever owned, and trust me I've spent way too much on knives in my life. I like this one better than knives that cost closer to $150. I'm not sure how the edge will hold because I didn't order the sharpener at the time of order (it's in my cart now). I usually sharpen my knives pretty often -- once a week or so. I'll be interested to see how the blade holds on this little guy. Heck, I think I'll just order another --maybe a smaller sized one to try.

Question: How do you change the settings on the toaster?

I love this little toaster. It's not perfect quality, but come on. It burns little domo faces into your toast. Everyone who's come over wants a piece of toast.And when I say burn, I really mean burn. Sometimes they're kind of or really off-centered. But mainly you just have to put your toast in right.I haven't had any issue with any shorts or fire like some other people have said. I did have a piece of toast get stuck once because the metal has become slightly warped on one side.Overall, I really like it and don't regret it. It has a knob for settings, crumb tray, and looks just like (maybe even better) than the picture.Oh. And don't put pop-tarts in there. It warms them, but the print doesn't work.

I love this little toaster. It's not perfect quality, but come on. It burns little domo faces into your toast. Everyone who's come over wants a piece of toast.And when I say burn, I really mean burn. Sometimes they're kind of or really off-centered. But mainly you just have to put your toast in right.I haven't had any issue with any shorts or fire like some other people have said.

Question: Does the customer feel that his bowl was worth the price?

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.

Answer: for sure

Get it, it's worth the price for sure .

Question: What is the total number of boxes that was purchased?

I ordered two of thee and so glad that I did. These are basically the plastic storage with zipper that blankets normally come in at the store. However, these are quite large and just perfect for what I wanted. I have a bedding set which includes a ton of decorative pillows along with two king sized decorative pillows. Since this is the bed we sleep in nightly, taking the pillows off and on has been a real hassle. There's no where to put all these pillows. Plus we have dogs and I have to put them where the dogs can't get to them. Finally, I said screw it and no longer put all the pillows on the bed every morning. This solved my problem. I was able to get all the smaller pillows (a ton of them) into one box, and the two king sized sham pillows in another box. These were large enough that I could have almost put all the pillows in one box/bag. Now I can store my pillows without worrying about them ever spilling out all over the place or worrying about keeping them clean in these two boxes, which fit perfectly one on top of the other in my walk-in closet on the floor underneath the shelving and rods. Perfectly out of the way, yet easy to grab if someone is coming that I want to impress.I'm going to order some more. There are lot of blankets and pillows hanging around in closets that could all be put in one of these and either shelved or stacked along the floor of your closet. I have a lot of purses that take up shelf room. I'm going to put them all in one of these bags. I have a lot of winter gear... hats, scarves, gloves and jackets that I'm going to gather together, take off of hangers and store in here. I usually stick with the same ones and I will leave them out. And, just store those things rarely used and put the bag at the bottom of the coat closet for more room. Since they're clear, it's easy to see what you want right away. I would not recommend these for very heavy items, or items with sharp corners. I'm also going to use one in the car for the items I put in the back end of my suv... like an extra set of clothes, a couple of pillows, a couple of blankets and emergency supplies. I have a ton of shoes too and I'm going to put about 20 pairs of athletic type shoes in one side, boots, and thongs and sandals and put those on the floor too. Will look nicely arranged along the floor/wall. So, these are great for a lot of things tumbling around in your car or closet. I love these for lite storage.

Question: What size of model would choose?

Nice looking. In hindsight, I'd choose to go with a larger model because you have to downsize most recipes to use it or you have more than will fit in the pot. I find that it takes longer than suggested cooking times ... 8 hours can turn out to be 10 plus hours. Early on, don't count on a new recipe to be ready at the alleged cooking time. However, I find most "long cooking" recipe times ,whether in a slow cooker or dutch oven, to be over optimistic. It may be my oven or the slow cooker but it's been my experience that when it comes to beef or lamb breaking down, it takes me a lot longer than them. I've found than for stews it helps to cut up potatoes and carrots and microwave them in a little water for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on size) before adding to the pot and for delicate items such as peas to add shortly before serving.

Question: How many adjustment speeds does the product have?

I love this heater as it can fit in any corner of the house and do the job of keeping it warm. The colour is great as it blends into any colour scheme and the weigh is great as it can easily be lifted. This is the best lil heater ever as it is also quiet and the light on top lets you know that it is plugged in or 'on'. The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air. It has many adjustment speeds to suit your preference. And it really does not look like the traditional heater. The shipment speed was great from amazon and love this. Would highly recommend this item.

It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room.The mattress opened up and expanded in a couple of hours. They indicate that you should wait 48 hrs before sleeping on it, however after a day it looks ready to go.I am having guests for the holidays so I will provide an update early next year, however so far so good.*update*Well the holidays are over and family/guests have moved on. Everyone totally enjoyed sleeping on the mattress.While I only had people sleeping on it for a week, they were different people with different physical sizes/ages and medical issues.Again, so far so good.It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday.My wife and I are very happy with this mattress and highly recommend it.

Question: What is harder to clean?

This robot is "Neato"! It does just what the description says. So much better than my old Roomba (with its hard to clean brush and its bumping hard into stuff).I do think the Neato is better at cleaning carpet than hard surface. If it is partly on and partly off a scatter rug, it doesn't clean great because of the slope.I thought it might get tangled in rug fringe, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.As others have said, it doesn't do great at edge cleaning, but neither does a big vacuum.If the Neato keeps working as well as it is right now, I'll be a happy camper.

Question: What is this product demonstrated by?

Doesn't chop isn't completely correct. It does make one chop but after that the food you chopping is stuck in the blades.And this happens with any moist fruits or foods you attempt to chop, and it's not easy to get the stuff back out. I knowwhen this is demonstrated on TV the chopper is easy to open and clean but my the one I have is very difficult to openwithout fear of breaking the device.I'm going out tomorrow and look for one that works. I think the culprit in this case is the blade design; it traps food andis difficult to clear. I chop apples to feed to my parrots and this thing is not up to the task.All and all this device is very disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.This is just another one of those products that when it's demonstrated by a slick host who has multiple takes to make itlook can appear to be a good product. I'm disappointed in myself for falling for the hype.

Question: How many times do they drew coffee?

I'm such a sucker for the stars ratings. This one got 4 four stars at the time of purchase so I thought it would be a good bet. When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. There are only two coffee drinkers in our house and this is just way too big for our needs. We decided to keep it since we occasionally have guests over but for the 1-2 cups that we brew on a daily basis, this is way too big. It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. Normally, we only have 2 cups in there and trying to get out that very last bit usually results is spilling it onto the counter. The carafe manages to keep the coffee warm even though it's not heating it but it's not super hot as well. I like my coffee HOT, so I pop it into the microwave for another 30 seconds. All it all, it makes a decent cup of joe but I would look at other coffeemakers if you don't need the 12-cups.

Question: Is the product well made?

Unbelievable quality! Extremely well made - padded; great zippers. bottom unsnaps to provide 3" gusset for bigger items... camera, glasses, even in a big case! Side pockets also padded and large! (I have Samsung Galaxy s4 and it fits great, with EASY access. Even my wallet fits in this thing. I know some reviews said there was no padding, which was one reason I order the grey...all those reviews looked good. But, I might take my chance on another color, just because I love this so much and might keep one packed esp. for travel.

Question: Where could you purchase the needed Wood screws?

we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it does not come with the screws to mount to the wall, that was no biggie, just make sure to get 3 and a half inch wood screws at the hardware shop and your set to go, we assembled this unit in less then 15 minutes, and got it up on the wall in 20 minutes = 35 minutes, this is a great concept and it does not stick out far from the wall and the openings are the perfect size. I will attach some pictures to the gallery section and show everyone, we usually have the consoles that sit on the floor, but this is the best, you got to make sure you put it in 3 studs in the wall for it to stay up safely. 5 STARS!!!!

The tester reads Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), in parts per million (PPM). <hl> This is the testers water chart;__RO, Deionization, Microfiltration, Distillation:~~~~~50 PPM__Some bottled, Carbon filtration:~~~~~~~~~~~~50 - 150 PPM__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~150 - 400 PPM__Well water (EPA max allowed 500 ):~~~~~~~~~~400 - 1000 PPMMy readings using copper and CPVC pipes in Detroit Mi. <hl> My RO is using these ISpring filters.;__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98 PPM__RO:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25 PPM__My Fridge filters the RO water one more time:~~~~~~~22 PPMI ordered my filters with my Amazon account, but, using ISpring as the seller option. My RO is BareWater system. ISpring and I communicated a few times, I am new but confused with RO, their guidance was very good and fair.
