Question: How much faster is the Breville compared to the GE oven?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Answer: 15%

Question: What did they do with the broken tiles?

First order arrived with two broken tiles. This is what I did... I returned only the two broken tiles in the original box and kept the four good ones... then I received another shipment of 6 tiles... which had 3 broken tiles in it. So I think this is what you need to do to make it work... and they'll eventually learn how to better pack these tiles. PS: you'll need a pizza peel once you buy these, or with ANY pizza stone, because you have to heat the stone up to 550 degrees or so before putting bread/pizza on it... every time...

Question: what product does the writer feel they wasted years using?

I wish i had had a mother to tell me about these pans. I would never have wasted years on cheap pans. These are gorgeous. Heats evenly - no hot spots, no twisting - stays absolutely flat, a breeze to clean-up - even burned food! And best of all, cooks up nice, crispy, bacon. Perfect everytime! I never knew a sheet pan could make a difference... :/

Question: What length does the buyer claim the strap is?

Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. But it is a fantastic design. The stretchy pouch is terrific! If folds up quickly and easily. I would give it five stars but ... it's the shoulder strap. I feel like I'm wearing a European Man Bag when I shop. Not what I want. I'll be regretfully returning them because of the shoulder strap. For those who want/like shoulder bags ... GO FOR IT ... it's terrific in design!

Question: What negative  characteristic did this person find it to make it clumsier to handle?

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

Question: Which doesn't have a lid?

EDIT 7/1/2014: After dropping one of the lids, the plastic "Farberware" log broke and fell out. The lid is still usable, but it causes me to wonder about how sturdy these pans really are. That said, the pans non-stick surface is still very non-stick, and the cooking surface appears to be quality. Just thought I needed to make a note that you may need to be more careful with these pans than I originally thought.The non-stick coating on these pans is quality, and it appears that it will endure the test of time.The first test was the baking sheet, with olive oil brushed on chicken. The oven was 375 F, and the chicken didn't even think of sticking. The only issue (which was more an annoyance than a problem) was that, 2 minutes into cooking, I heard a very loud pop. Sure enough, the pan had a 2-inch warp to it. After the chicken was finished cooking, and the pan had cooled, the warp was gone, and the pan back to its normal flat. While this is slightly irritating, it won't affect the pan's cooking ability.The second test was eggs fried in the 8" skillet. I was a bit concerned because the interior of the pan is quite textured, and I was sure the eggs would stick in the groves of the texture. They didn't. All that was necessary was bit of vegetable spray on the pan before cooking, and the eggs practically slid right outta the pan when they were finished cooking. The only thing that bothered me is that the pan doesn't have a matching lid, as none of the lids from the other pans fit this one. However, if I cook anything where I need to keep the steam in, I can cover the pan with aluminum foil. However, if having a fitting lid is something you really want/need, you need to know that you won't get one with 8-inch skillet. All the other pans have fitting lids.I like that this set comes with nylon utensils. I already had some, but you really can't have too many cooking utensils, so I appreciated that addition.These pans look like they will last, as will the non-stick coating. I really appreciate that they're dishwasher safe, as that makes clean-up for my large family a snap.

Question: Why did the reviewer return the shaker?

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.

Question: When did I buy a second one?

I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke. It isn't the most practical obviously, but it does make nice little ships and icebergs that are easy to remove. I actually bought a second one several months later.

Question: How functional is this paper towel holder?

If a paper towel holder can thrill a person, this paper towel holder is as exciting as any paper towel holder can be! It looks great and is nicely weighted on the bottom, so when grabbing a paper towel with one hand in the midst of cooking, it doesn't topple over and create a bigger kitchen mess. The bar on the side also assists with one handed paper towel grabbing, but also keeps the roll looking neat and tidy. Add this item to the list of smart looking and fabulously functional simple human tools.

Question: Why does the leak bother the reviewer?

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. However, after about 1.5 years of use, it now leaks out of the sides even when filled to half its capacity. It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine. Still - overall a great product, but has not stood the test of time.

Question: What type of floor does this work best on?

This is a great cordless vac. I have two dogs and this picks up all the hair without getting clogged! (works great on floors- medium success with carpet so if you have carpet this may not be your solution). I have an Electrolux that was specifically advertised to be good for people with dogs- what a waste of money- it clogs with the first pass- don't make the same mistake. The Eureka is very reasonable priced and does a great job. It's also pretty quiet for a vacuum and my dog who is terrified of the regular vacuum is not bothered by this at all.

Question: what gas is contained in the product?

have used this for 20 years and it's still going strong. the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.BUT it cannot be put in the dishwasher. the super hot water temp will cause the seal to leak allowing the freon out.most likely, the current scoops are using the replacement for freon (which i can't remember the name).easiest scoop to use, easy to clean, built like a tank. it will be the last scoop you buy.

Question: When was the update posted?

UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf. Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

Question: What rooms were these purchased for?

Purchased two of these for both of the guest bathrooms in the house and they look great in the pictures of the listing, but when we got them out of the box, the chrome looks cheap and the frosted plastic is thin and overall this holder just did not live up to our other InterDesign items in our bathrooms. So we returned them to Amazon without taking them out of the wrapper. Although I thought the lid would look great and keep dust and water from getting on the rolls, the lid has a hole in the center of it for easy on and off, so it kind of defeats the purpose of protecting the TP and again the lid has the ultra shiny chrome ring around the middle and the thin frosted plastic, so it just looks cheap and not well made.

Question: What is the sheet made of?

The sheets in my house must be comfortable and easily changed. I hate sheets that require a lot of muscle to get around mattress corners. These sheets while they fit well and snugly have the deep corners that mattresses today require for ease of bed making. What I found interesting was that the sheets almost have the texture of very fine suede like material while being a cotton sheet.This means the color looks richer also. I prefer these to my Egyptian cotton sheets. I have many large dogs and one occasionally puts a paw or two on the bed in the morning and one will sneak into it if given the opportunity. These sheets hold up to the claws unlike the Egyptian cotton yet seem just as soft.They wash up well too and stay soft.

Question: What did the customer not like about the cord?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Answer: there's no way to conceal it in the base

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. <hl> It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base . <hl> It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad.

Question: How much did the writer pay for a pie crust maker?

I'm new to baking and need all the help I can get. Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot.Best money I have spent yet on baking accessories!Just flour both sides, pat a little flour on dough and put it in, zip it up and roll it out. Crust didn't stick and came out perfectly round. Since I'm still new to all this I guess I put a wee bit too much dough in and my crust was a little thick but just about perfect.I followed the recipe that came with my new Cuisinart for Pie Crust and it is perfect and delicious. Even if your making a large pie you can still roll out in the Pie Crust Maker and then take it out and roll out a little more to desired thickness and size as it will still keep an almost perfect circle shape.Cleanup was actually very easy even with the dough kinda stuck into the sides of the bag. Just use hot water and soap and the dough will literally melt away. The bag also contains messes since you don't really have to flour a board or surface and get flour everywhere like I do.

Question: What is the fabric like?

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

Question: What type of product is the person reviewing?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get information from the manufacturer about this juicer. They are very secretive about the types of plastic used and the very real potential for plastic contamination and chemical leaching into food during use!It appears that they are using several plastics that come in contact with food. These are polycarbonate, Utrem, silicone, and melamine. They ALL are potentially toxic. Of special concern is the fact that the plastics are in contact and rub against one another while in motion. This can create a far greater risk for contamination. Hurom and its distributor have apparently done NO testing for the amount and safety of plastic contaminants. It is sad that we purchase this item to improve our health but may actually be damaging our health without knowing it. By the way, BPA free means very little since there are MANY other chemicals in plastics that are at least as bad as BPA. In fact, bisphenol A (BPA) is often replaced with other equally bad bisphenols (bisphenol B, C, D, etc.), and can still claim to be BPA free. Also, there are pthalates, melamine, and many others that are worse than BPA. It seems that manufacturers, and our government, do not care about these important health issues until it's too late.

Question: How many lbs should this product hold?

I was really excited to use this set, but after having it I find myself really only using the larger insulated bag. Otherwise when grocery shopping I tend to like the recycled bags sold at my grocery store because they hold more, and since they are square based they fit much better into the back end of my vehicle.There are a few things that I feel could be improved upon:* The price. I don't think being green necessarily has to equate to spending lots of money and at $50 I think that is expensive for what I have ended up utilizing this set for.* The durability. I have questions about how durable this set will be over the long haul. Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will. One reviewer has had the zipper break. This is not my experience, but I do wonder how long it will last.What I did like:* I loved the idea and the purpose behind the company and the products that they make. It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill.Overall it's a good idea, but maybe not fully realized it's potential, and a bit pricey in my opinion.

Question: where do they put the whisk so it can air dry?

I rarely use a whisk (mostly when I am preparing a béchamel sauce), but I invest in quality kitchen tools and this is just that.The construction is exceptional. This is not some cheap whisk that has a loop at the end holding the wires together - its floating wires are the key to whipping sauces, eggs and other related food preparation tasks.Wires are medium gauge: not too stiff nor too flexible. This feature is important to me because I use basic tools instead of specialized ones. Some friends have four or five different types of whisks - I make do with this one and it does everything I need from a whisk.The 10" size has worked for every food preparation task - large or small - for which I've used it. If you are going to own just one whisk this is a good size for multi-purpose use.What I most love is the handle. It is as though it was designed perfectly for my hand because the diameter reduces fatigue when you are using it briskly over a medium heat and cannot stop or risk ruining a sauce.Cleaning it is also easy because of the wire design. I place mine in a dish rack after cleaning and allow it to air dry after a few towel wipes.I view mine as an investment in both quality and function.

Question: Does the peeler work on apples?

I'm not supposed to have apple skins anymore. Believe it or not, they make me sick. So much for 'an apple a day.' So I thought I'd give this peeler a try. First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. Apples are basically round, and the blade on this can only follow that curvature for so long before it's just ineffective. So I gotta use a knife to peel away the third that this machine can't. Well, that just creates an extra step and extra mess, and takes up extra counter space for a product that only does 2/3 of the job I need it to do. If I gotta peel 1/3 of my apples by hand, then I may as well peel the whole thing. Sent this thing back, pronto.

Question: What is considered the an eye sore when used?

I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw, 50 X 70 inches. Made in Portugal, it is a 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic blend that is incredibly warm and soft for both its size and thickness.This has a reversible contrast pattern (note: flipped-down corner of the product photo) that looks really amazing. It adds an elegance to my family room, making it an appropriate complement for nearly every season.This is made with the type of overlocking stitching that I usually see around the edges on many higher-quality fleece throws. However, it goes even further by having an embroidered edge ON TOP of the usual stitching.I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill.Truly, the attention to detail along with quality material/construction gives me confidence that I should be able to enjoy the warm comfort of this beautiful throw for years to come. Love it!

Question: What does it slice down through?

Like my title states, it is coveted by everyone who tries it. I first used one at my sister in law's house and really liked it. The next time I was there, she told me that some weekend guests had recently used it there and loved it. It "mysteriously" disappeared at the same time they went back home and she was needing to replace it (they haven't been invited back needless to say). I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are extremely hard to find except in some specialty stores. Well worth the money. It slices down through the hardest frozen ice cream with no difficulty. Highly recommended.

Question: What part of the product is extremely difficult to wash?

I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). Seeing all the negative comments below about the Cuisinart, I sadly have to respond that all the flaws of the Cuisinart apply equally to the KitchenAid. Despite using the KitchenAid sparingly and with care, I have broken 2 bowls (at $40 + $9 S&H each) and one lid at $20 + S&H. Although the KitchenAid motor is well made, the plastic bowls are flimsy and poorly designed. In addition the bowl leaks down the side if liquid is blended. The lid is exceedingly hard to clean. Consequently, I am thinking of replacing my KitchenAid with the Cuisinart.

Question: How long did the breadmaker last?

I have been using this breadmaker for over an year now and every loaf comes out marvelous! It looks sharp, and its easy to clean.I found that adding an egg or two, and sometimes a little beer to the bread recipes makes the loafs come out FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFFY!Wonderful!AND... at only about $1/loaf for ingredients, it pays for itself within a few months.***************************December 24, 2013Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. Here it is, Christmas Eve, and I have another piece of worthless Cuisinart junk although I used to swear by this brand. I had to buy a $20. replacement bin a few months earlier because that had fallen apart as well.I made about 2 loaves a month with this breadmaker, so it sure wasn't overworked.It hardly survived to the two year mark and that seems wrong to me because this product was not cheap and I took good care of it.I am done with Cuisinart.

Question: How was it shipped?

Silpat works great as always, and it fits my full sheet pan exactly. That's the good stuff. The bad part is that it was folded for shipment, and my other Silpat products always warned not to fold them. This one arrived folded in quarters with a crease down the middle that never flattened out correctly. After only two months, the sheet has split in the middle right along the fold. This means that it's OK for cookies, but if I want to roast potatoes on it and smear it with olive oil, it's going to leave a mess in my pan.

Question: What brand is the blender from?

I actually own the Oster 6646 but am writing the review here because the 6646 appears to be no longer caried by Amazon and the 6684 is simply the black version of the 6646.First, the good: This blender does a very good job of blending ingredients, including frozen ones, into drinks of consistent texture. No lumpy pieces of fruit or bits of ice hiding in the drink. It also does a good job of pulling the ingredients down the side of the jar and around the blades so that everything gets blended properly.Now, the bad: Shortly after my 1-year warranty expired, I turned on my blender one day and it abruptly turned off after about one second. I actually think this was my fault as I didn't have the jar seated quite right and I had some ice cubes at the bottom of the jar right by the blades. At any rate, to make a long story short I was left with the option to either (a) pay to get the blender repaired, which would have cost over half what one costs new; (b) throw the blender away; or (c) try to fix the thing myself. I had a hunch that perhaps I could find a fuse inside that had blown, so I attempted to take apart the blender. I tried A LOT of different screwdrivers, both at home and at work, and I could not get any of them to grip the screws properly to remove them. I took the blender to my local hardware store and, after a lot of patience, was finally able to remove the screws. While I readily found a fuse, the hardware store said they didn't have a matching replacement fuse. A little frustrated but still determined, I went to yet another hardware store; a seemingly knowledgeable clerk there told me that I would probably have a hard time finding the proper fuse because of the filament design, even though the fuse is labeled as a 5 amp 125 volt fuse. Still determined, I went to Radio Shack. Though they did not have a fuse that looked the same in terms of filament, the guy there assured me that a slow blowing 5 amp 250 volt fuse should work just fine. And guess what -- he was right. So now I have an additional three back up fuses in case it blows again, for a total out of pocket cost of less than 10% what a new blender would cost. Now my search is on for replacement screws so I can attach the bottom of the unit to the base again.I guess I can't totally fault Oster for not making a consumer level repair more easy. I think this is true across the board for consumer electronics today. Still, I hate to think of all of the perfectly good machines out there that get tossed in the garbage and end up in a landfill (even though there are toxic components inside) that just maybe would be put back into service by the people who owned them if the manufacturer gave simple instructions for something as simple as replacing a fuse and didn't assemble the device so as to discourage people from trying to take it apart.

Question: When did the consumer receive the coffee pot?

BOUGHT THIS COFFEE POT FEB. 10 GOT IT ABOUT 15-just got around to using it because I'v been waiting to buy tea pot for boiling water-I wanted to make the pot so I would know how much water to put in the pot. The box says 8 cups-64 OZ.-NO way was this pot going to hold 8 cups or 64 OZ!--It holds 24 OZ which is fine by me-no way did I need 64 OZ of coffee first thing in the AM. I love my coffee pot have no complaints about it but the math on the box just did'nt add up- Thought you might like to know my observation-but again you may have already figured this out for your self.

Question: What is one way to mitigate the delicacy of the whipping attachment?

This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. It works quickly and easily. I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the "whipping attachment," but I don't see it as a problem. I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed.

Question: What vegetable did the person buy in order to test the product?

I bought a huge quantity of iceberg lettuce on sale for the sole purpose of testing this! I washed and chopped the lettuce with my plastic lettuce knife and loaded quart mason jars. I set the lid on and sealed the jar. I set them in the fridge, all over the place, just because we all know some parts are colder than others! A week later, and the lettuce looks like it did the day a brought it home! No rust, no wilt, just perfect lettuce! I have even resealed jars after haven taken lettuce out to eat! Oh my gosh, I wish I had bought this years ago! Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now! I'll update and let you know how long the lettuce lasts if it lasts long enough before getting eaten!

Question: How many pounds of wheat dough can it hold?

Imagine kneading bread dough to perfection, in as little as 40 seconds! Its how I make FRENCH BREAD. I also make all my dinner rolls and sweet rolls in the Cuisinart (yum)!Easily mix cakes, quick breads, and piecrusts. Effortlessly chop, slice and shred food; you can even grind meat.Touch Pad: I love it's smooth, easy to clean and computerized touch pad.Buttons: (OFF, ON, Pulse and Dough) The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds. Plus it features a powerful induction motor for HEAVY DOUGH. Note: Still ALWAYS only make 3 lbs. wheat dough (1 large loaf) even in this model. Wheat flour is twice as dense as white!Blades (4 total): This model uses two metal blades; with one for chopping, mixing, kneading dough (also for lighter dough recipes of 3 c or less white flour, particularly small wet sweet doughs). The other metal "dough" blade is for kneading the heavy dough recipes (anything over 4-6 cups of white flour or 3 cups wheat flour). There's also one 4mm slicing blade and a medium shredding blade (it's detachable stem fits either).Locking System: Here's where the PPP shines! :-) The improved lid and feed tube assembly (with it's safety locking system) is much easier to use (at least to figure out).Lid: Each Cuisinart includes a lid and 2 pushers (with a large feed and a smaller inner feed tube).If you want a "top of the line" food processor, for your smallest to larger needs, you won't be disappointed with this model! --Sharon AnneP.S.

Question: What does the product have in abundance?

This is a fantastic piece. I had had all of my jewelry in a drawer, but it was getting too cramped, so I bought this. It's compact yet has lots of room and compartments. It hangs nicely in a closet and doesn't take up much space. The best part (and I didn't realize until I got it) is that it will easily fit into a small suitcase, which makes it great for bringing (and keeping safe!) all your favorite jewelry when traveling. There are pockets on both sides, so you can store a lot of stuff. I'm so happy I bought this and highly recommend it!

Question: What did the user feel like they were wrapping themselves with out of the shower?

I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! I had no idea that my towels were so bad, until I tried these towels. They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. They are also very absorbent. It was a quick dry after I came out of the shower, but I didn't want to take my towel off! The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. These are worth the price and much more.

Question: What happened when the shower curtain was washed?

pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

Question: How much does this cost?

I purchased this item on sale from Amazon for 5.99 each. For the price, the product is just fine. It's not very thick - definitely a summer weight if you're looking for warmth, but again, for $6 I don't expect a delux blanket. We use it as a floor blanket to put over the cold tile in winter for our dogs. Folded in half, it provides a reasonable layer of protection from the tile and has held up ok after about 2 months of washing.My review of this item is very heavily based on the price I paid for it. The item isn't delux, but at this price point, it's perfectly acceptable.

Question: What do you have to do each time?

This thing is very annoying if you're used to the larger Keurig machines. You can only make one cup at a time, and each time, you have to WAIT for the water to heat up in it! Not sure what the pros are for that - it's still taking almost as much time as a regular brewer does to make one cup of coffee. We had a race to prove that. Really, truthfully, go with the larger versions of these things. You'll be happier, get going faster, and you can change the temperature of the water and the size of the cup. This one only goes up to a 10 ounce size whereas mine goes up to a 14 ounce. It's good for those who don't mind waiting but for the price, you may as well use a regular coffee pot.

Question: How is the job to remove skins from garlic cloves without toools?

This item really works and simplifies removing skins from garlic cloves -- often a tedious job. I just trim the ends off of each clove and roll it around briefly in the tube. Amazingly it comes out skin free. When all the cloves are peeled cleanup is easy.

Question: How does this product work with basic functionality?

The iWavecube microwave doesn't look like your typical microwave. My friends and co-workers have all found the need to check mine out. It is small and doesn't take up much space and it looks "space-aged" according to a couple people.I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and everything turned out just perfect. Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible.Try it out, you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for all the attention it draws.

I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and <hl> everything turned out just perfect <hl> .
