Question: How long is the cord?

I was expecting high about this heater.But I did not like few things about this unit. The light is too bright. If we put it at front side of visibility, it distract reading. The cord comes with certain length (~4 feet I think), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. Size is little bigger, so you cannot just place it anywhere. This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space (potential fire hazard). Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor.

Question: What keeps the thermometer solid and unbent?

4.7 starsThis is a good cheap cooking thermometer. While it is of course at this price no Thermapen, it's worked well for us so far. It takes a little longer than our Thermapen to display temp, but it gives almost the exact same temp as it, every time...not bad for 20% of the price.It also calibrates, a nice feature for less than 20 bucks, and the cover is useful, though the clip won't keep it standing upright in your pocket as the weight is all in the head of the thermometer. But It sits in a pocket top end down just fine, and the cover keeps it solid and unbent. The sample they sent me fit snugly in the cover and hasn't fallen out in any position.It uses a flat, small LR-44 battery, so buy a few in bulk (much cheaper) in advance. It pays off, as it's no good to have the batt go dead while you're cooking, and then have to run around looking for a Battery Price Plus and paying five times what you would online. But it comes with the battery installed, so you're good to go for quite a while as long as you turn it off as soon as you use it each time.If you're a pro, get a Thermapen for all-day every-day use. But if you're a casual chef, this is a great deal at its present price of 19 clams.

Question: What material is the inside of the new mug made of?

I am guilty of checking reviews and depending on them when I look for a product. I wish I would of searched longer before settling on this one. I have a Nike travel mug which i love, but my husband needed one. I looked for the one I bought but I couldn't find it as I purchased it at the outlet and they did not carry them any longer. This mug is a smilers size than what I am used to. The inside is metal so it can't go in microwave. The lid is made strangely and it twists to become looser and thats how you drink it. It makes it awkward to drink as you can't see the liquid first. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Question: It would be interesting if they numbers and letters were what?

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

Question: What does the base do?

We found the Apple Peeler on sale at a home store and bought it on an impulse. My expectations were fairly low and I am happy to say that it performed way better than it looked like it was going to. The only real issue is with the very poor instructions, so some trial and error testing was needed.The keys to getting good results are:1) Use symmetrical Apples or Potatoes2) The firmer the better3) Take time align the Apple so the core can be cleanly removedSetting the contraption up is very easy. The base firmly attaches to most flat surfaces via a suction cup, which is nice because it can be positioned over our sink to catch the peels.We love how quickly this peels and cores a lot of apples! Our kids also got a kick out of using it, so that was a big plus as well.Recommended!

Question: What doesn't the reviewer normally do?

I wish I could leave this coffee maker 0 stars... The look of it is great but I was having problems with it within 2 months. The hot plate started going out so my coffee, when poured, wasn't hot. Then the water wouldn't seep in to the pot properly when making it so coffee started tasting horrible. I tried cleaning it numerous times to no avail.It has a lot of great features but whats the point to that unless it works.Steam from making coffee would also leak in to the clock of the coffee maker. I'm an avid coffee drinker and this is the worst one I have ever bought. I don't usually give bad reviews on Amazon, and I buy a lot of stuff here, but thought I had to make people aware of what they will be getting in to if ordering this particular Model. Their is plenty of other Black and Red nice looking coffee makers here on Amazon, or through Google, my advise is to buy one of them.

Question: What does the product come with?

This makes wonderfully delicious, rich, flavorful coffee that is not bitter. What else can you want? It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). The directions are really clear and simple to follow. We heat the water in an electric kettle that has temperature control, which is extremely helpful (as the directions tell you what temperature the water should be). My husband loves a single cup of coffee after dinner, and this is just perfect. It brews directly into the coffee cup and clean up is easy. We don't really use the tote bag.

Question: What item is being reviewed?

This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery. There is a blue light indicator on the top that shows you how much battery is left. The battery itself charges in I think about 3 hours and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use. When using the vacuum, I get a lot of time with it on one charge and as I said, it hardly loses suction, if any at all until the very very end. It's hard to measure just how long it lasts, because it is substantial time. It's very handy in so many ways and pretty versatile. Compared to other handheld cordless vacuums, this is top notch. I had a green one (I believe it was a Shark brand) that was just awful. Practically immediately lost its charge and suction and took forever to charge. Also it was very clunky, so I ended up just throwing it out. While this Hoover vacuum is more expensive than others, it was well worth the investment. It will last and it out performs the competition. I have a dog who sheds all the time. This vacuum takes care of that fur on the couch and car seats in no time. I love it and I'm glad that I purchased it. I highly recommend it.

Question: What is the different size of bowls used for?

I have never owed mixing bowls a day in my life so by far this set is nice! No more using cups to mix eggs in or old butter tubs to mix things in! The different size bowls is great to have to mix everything from eggs to pancakes to just plane out cakes!

Question: Can you clean the grinder out after use?

I've owned 4 burr grinders over the years. A manual, pioneer-style grinder, an inexpensive Braun burr grinder, a very expensive Rancilio Rocky doserless grinder, and this - The Bodum Bistro (mine is orange).My Rancilio was my favorite, but it's strictly for grinding straight into a portafilter for espresso. My manual grinder provides the best results, but it takes 3 minutes to grind your coffee each morning. The Braun was very inexpensive (about $35) and was OK, much better than the pulse grinders that give you grounds of all different sizes (not what you want).So, how do I like the Bodum Bistro. Well, I love it but I just can't give it five stars, because it's not the ultimate coffee grinder.What it is though is a very well designed, legitimate coffee grinder that makes my mornings very efficient. You set the grind, and you set how long you want to grind and these settings remain, so when you want to grind your beans, you simply depress one button and it takes care of it. It's fairly loud, but it takes only about 10 seconds so it's not too bad. One major advantage of this device is that it employs a glass hopper, instead of Plastic. It's easy to clean, and it doesn't have the static problem you get with plastic hoppers.I also like the size of this device. It's quite small, but the hopper is relatively large.All in all I think they really put some thought into this product. I've been using mine for over a year and I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.Note - I use this to grind for a one-cup Mellita pourover that uses #2 paper filters. I get a good balance between speed (takes 3 minutes between grinding and taking my first sip (my water is already at 208 thanks to my Japanese hot water pot that keeps hot water ready at all times.)Pros-Relatively inexpensiveSmall footprintGlass hopper for the ground coffeeLarge hopper for the whole beansTimed grind for convenience, simplicity and consistencyNo need to hold a button while grinding. Just push once and you're goodMuch better results than with a blade grinderCons-Result not quite as good as manual grinder (but better than many other grinders under $300)Recommendation - If you currently use a blade grinder, do yourself a favor and move up to a burr grinder. It makes an enormous difference. This is a very good one.

Question: Does the writer like strong coffee?

The presto my pod makes, to me, a very weak and watery cup of coffee. It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee. I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-) I'll never use the dang thing again.I followed up by buying the brown eco pod, and THAT worked decently and made a nice cup of coffee by my standards.

The presto my pod makes, to me, a very weak and watery cup of coffee. It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, <hl> I like strong coffee <hl>. I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Question: How long does it take for the reviewers hand to get hot when holding something very hot?

My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Answer: 15+seconds

Question: What does the reviewer add to the ice cubes in the container?

This is a great product. I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy", in other words veggies and that kind of thing. The compartments are vented, so if you put anything at all drippy in them, it goes thru onto the ice. (I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) It isn't a huge deal because there are three different ice compartments, each with two vented trays above them, if that makes sense. I just made sure that the two upper portions that drained into that ice compartment both contained the shrimp, so there wouldn't be any flavor contamination. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway - I highly recommend this product and I am definitely going to purchase more Prodyne acrylic on-ice serving pieces. I purchased a salad bowl that had an ice compartment from a local store and the quality was no where near what I received from Prodyne.

Question: Does it take a lot of effort to empty?

Easy to put together, a little awkward to use at first but I like how it can get to odd spots. The suction is really good. I waited to sweep until i got it in the mail, and i have a boxer and long haired cat. I like how it doesn't have bristles that can get all clogged up with hair. Easy to dump out the dirt. Not too loud, just normal for a vacuum. After i finished using it, i took a swiffer pad and went over the entire area again and was surprised at how little the vacuum left behind. And that was probably from the few spot i couldn't read with it.

Question: How quickly does water boil in this pot?

I love going to Shabu Shabu but it can get rather expensive. So I thought, why not bring the shabu to my dinner table? I did so with this pot. It feeds enough for at least 4 people and worked wonderfully. It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. A bit pricey, but well worth it for the amount of money I will save cooking shabu at home.The ONLY drawback is that it omitts a funny smell while cooking. I rinsed the pot out before hand, but it still had this weird odor that smelled up the kitchen. I've only used it once, so hopefully this is a one time deal. Otherwise, its a good purchase.--------------------UPDATE: 1/10/2013I've used the cooker a handful of times in the past few years and still am satisfied with it. The smell isn't as strong as it originally was, however, there still is a plasticy odor when I heat the cooker up. Besides the smell, it fuctions like it was brand new and looks great.

Question: How long ago where the mitts purchased?

I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. Both mitts are very good oven protection. I like the silicon ribs - much better than traditional padded fabric mitts. This one is more flexible and softer than the Oxo mitt, so it's easier to grab a pan out of the oven. However, after two years, the twill fabric on the Calphalon mitt is pulling apart at the outside seam near my little finger, exposing about 2 inches of the inside padding. It is still usable, since the seams are intact around the thumb where burns are most likely to occur. But I expected it to last longer than 2 years. Both mitts have been used daily, and both have occasionally been run through the washing machine, but the Oxo mitt still looks almost new, while the Calphalon mitt may not make it through the next wash. So I recommend buying the Oxo mitt instead of this one.

Question: What is the product made out of?

This pitcher is absolutely perfect! I needed something for the green tea I make every couple of days, and was sick and tired of the staining on plastic containers. The plastics never looked or felt clean after washing, but this pitcher sparkles! I love the handle, and because I have small hands, it makes it much easier to balance when lifting the full pitcher. I have purchased other "Made in Italy" glassware, and find that the glass is much heavier and sturdier than typical houseware department glassware. Yes, it is heavy when full, but the cure for that is to use two hands! The lid is easy to operate and seals very well. The company took tremendous care to pack the pitcher for shipping , , , there was so much bubble wrap it would have survived if it had fallen off the truck.

Question: What happens to the tools?

This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

Question: What type of envelope were the items packaged in?

I ordered this pack and it arrived quickly, less then one week. The items were well packaged in a zip lock bag and enclosed with a bubble wrap envelope. I checked each one and all 10 are stamped US Shelby CO. These are the real deal, U.S. made, P-51 can openers, with a small hole to easily attach to a key chain, lanyard or other carrying device.I was easily able to open a can with it without issue. Note, they do not come with instructions, but it is not hard to figure out how to use them and you can find YouTube video's on it.I highly recommend these they are Awesome!

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. It boils enough water at once for my 6 cup tea pot or for ramen and because the kettle is not too big, it boils quick. It really is cute too! I don't think this kettle is any worse quality wise than other more expensive kettles. The handle doesn't get too hot to pick up either, although I have an electric stove I don't know about a gas range. Mine doesn't sputter when boiling. I like that it doesn't take up a lot of space, my old kettle was wide and big and it looked stupid on my stovetop.

Question: What product should you use to help maintain this product?

It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach! the straw mats you lay on It is thick and heavy and sturdy.....love the two tone. Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong time! :)

Question: Are there cheaper french presses made by the same company?

I bought this to replace a previous Bodum french press that I shattered when tapping it entirely too hard against the garbage can to get some grounds out. I mention this not as a negative that it broke (because that's my fault) but that I bought another one from this company rather than a cheaper one, not that many are cheaper.I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it. Some do and that's just the nature of a french press but I feel it does a great job.Other than that a french press is a french press. You get more flavor from your coffee than using a drip and a filter.

Question: What can be removed to make things easier?

I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Question: What is the name of the brand?

What a great hand mixer. It is inexpensive so I was worried, but I shouldn't have been. It comes with 3 different sets of beaters that store in a container that the mixer sits on. But that is not the best part. This mixer has SO much more umph than my old hand mixer ever had! I have used it on many different recipes and it has NEVER bogged down! Plus I went to the Hamilton Beach site and it has a 2 year warrenty to fix or replace. If you want a hand mixer that has all the gusto without having to drag out your full size mixer, this is the one for you!

Question: What is the power source?

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

Question: What items take up space on the shelves?

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.

Answer: purses

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. <hl> I have a lot of purses that take up shelf room. <hl> 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.

Question: What is the consistency of the puree?

i cook a lot of indian food, and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste. this is what i bought this blender to do. much as i love my food processor, it doesn't really turn out a smooth puree, especially with small amounts of material.this blender has failed completely to puree anything. i even tried to make hummus, and all the machine did was thow the ingredients onto the side of the jug and spin the blades uselessly. maybe it would puree a very liquid vegetable soup, but that's not what i bought it to do.

Question: what kind of gear mesh is employed in the Steuby opener?

This opener is what the US made "Swing-a-Way" was 50+ years ago. Unfortunately, that name is not worthy of the design. Steuby & Co. made their production on that really works. Steuby's can opener has fluid gear mesh and longer twist handle to give better leverage than other designs. The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids. The insulated red handles of the grip cover just a little longer "tang" of metal, allowing for better grip on targeted can. The unit has endured Industrial washing and all the metal is still unblemished, indicating superior quality steel. All the details were identified, considered and executed perfectly in design and manufacture. This is the superior product. The second place can opener goes to 4 Peaks Tech, for their unit.

Question: what kind of timer did they have before

It is very simple to use and I don 't know why I stuck with manual timers as long as I did. My last timer which was a Sunbeam manual timer cured me of my ignorance; it couldn't keep proper time and would sometimes stop ticking all together or other times the buzzer wouldn't ring or very softly.This timer costs less than any timer I have previously bought but you get a lot of bang for your buck! I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button; I can reset it for the same time again and again.

Question: How many stars did they end up rating the mattress?

This mattress was purchased as a spare place to sleep. I was surprised how heavy it is. The shipping weight is listed as 33 pounds but my twin mattress weighed 47 pounds. A lot heavier than my previous twin 10 inch mattress. I think the addition of latex foam adds a lot of weight. I would call it medium firm as it seems to have the traditional memory foam which is not very soft like the newer open cell memory foam. My mattress expanded to 7 inches by the 3rd day. If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress. It's difficult to move from room to room because of the weight and the lack of rigidity latex foam has. I slept on it 2 times and it was comfortable enough to use occasionally. When I need to replace it, I will go back to the 10 inch open cell mattress I had previously. It was more comfortable and easier to move.I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star based on the fact that the fire proof cover is made from fiberglass and I have read other mattress reviews stating that the fiberglass breaks down and works it's way through the top cover. It can get into your skin and lungs. I am considering tossing this mattress.

Question: What brand tea maker does the user have?

I've had this kettle for almost a year now and I am glad I have decided to buy it despite the bad reviews. For me, it is working great and I love it. I use it several times a day. I have an electric tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France but if I don't want to use the tea maker, I can just make the perfect cup of tea using the right temperature. Also, I have a coffee French press and if you want to make a good cup of coffee, you need to be able to heat the water at the perfect temperature. This kettle has a French press setting. I have nothing bad to say about this kettle and I hope it last for a few years. I really recommend this item. It's worth the price if like me you make coffee in a coffee press and if you love different kind of tea.

Question: Where did I buy the platform bed?

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.

Question: How long does it take for them to drink all the water?

Tested tap water was 184. So not bad for Springfield, MO However I can definitely taste the difference. And after it did deliver after filtration to 000 tpm. We have lots of lime in our water so will see how long filter last. So far no acidic taste. If u don't drink ALL that 23 CUPS in a day or two. Expect it to take on a taste if ur refrigerator. As this us not sealed system. We drink it all in at least 2DAYS. If we don't we dump the remaining and rinse container. And start new batch . It does have a tiny bit of taste but still nothing as bad as the tap water. Maybe adding a tiny tiny pinch of sea salt to container will make it less acidic tasting and add some increased ph back to the water and it also adds nutrients back. . However I love knowing my body and kidneys are not going clog up from all the sediments and some chemicals.

Question: Where is the telescoping arm easy to use?

It does what a vacumn should do - it really sucks!! I love that the head is small enough to reach between and under things! I also love the way the attachments clip on, rather than just slip on. They stay on even you get caught on something under the furniture (ever have that little nozzle pull of when it is way under something!? What a pain trying to reach that!) Love the telescoping arm too. It is not too heavy, so it is easy to use on stairs and you hardly even know it is following you when it rolls behind you. I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years, but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand. I still love my upright and will continue to use it for main areas, but the cannister is much more versatile. If I had to give up one - it would be the upright, so if you don't have either and cannot decide - the cannister will fill all your needs, whereas the upright is only really good for main areas and open spaces.

Question: What was I interested in?

Like many people we used stove top kettles for years.I was interested in electrics, but never wanted to pay the price to try one.I have to say that this appliance rates right up there as one of the best purchases we've ever made. I came across it at Target, and based on the price (it was around $30 on sale at that time) and the style (love the sleek design) purchased it and brought it home.We've owned the kettle for nearly two years now and it's served us well. It gets daily use. We ended up liking it so much that when my sister-in-law mentioned having always wanted one, we went out and purchased her one for Christmas that year.The only issue we've had, and it's just become one, is the screen that covers the spout. The kettle recently started to dribble while pouring, and I discovered that the screen has torn away on one side. We don't particularly need the screen (we have no sediment in our water), but if I can find the part for less than buying a new kettle I'll replace it.Overall a great electric kettle and I'd highly recommend it.

Question: How many chambers does the product have?

OXO makes pretty good kitchen and household products and this is one of them. I wasn't aware that they produced hampers though (where are the rubber grips!) ;). This is a cleverly designed item: the grips are strong, the flaps nicely spring back after clothing has been stuffed into either of the two chambers and the cloth material of the entire unit seems durable and good for the long haul. When Laundry Day does comes around, the top piece pops off and the clothes are easily pulled out. The overall size of this hamper is not too large, but is actually quite capacious.Recommended, but will you spend $60.00 for a clothes hamper?

Question: What did they need this for?

We needed this to smooth out the table skirts of our retail booth at craft shows and festivals. The first time I used it, I was setting up the booth while it heated up — and it went off like a tea kettle except instead of whistling, it began spewing hot water! As you plug it in, keep a close eye on it so this doesn't happen to you.It worked well to get the wrinkles out. Not great, not instantly, but with enough passes over the heavy fabric, most of the wrinkles fell away.
