Question: What might get scratched by the parts stored

I'm in a tiny RV and got this for the foldaway feature. It's bigger to store than any of the 10" and 11" skillets I've had in the past. You remove that base, and there are feet under it, just like on the non-foldaway ones. In fact, the base clogs up the inside, so the lid can't be stored with the handle down. Its snap-off handles are wobbly, making it feel insecure to lift. This whole foldaway structure seems to be a waste to me.It heated quickly and cooked fine, so I gave it 3 stars, but most of them do. I wanted this one for the foldaway feature.Someone commented that all the parts stored inside might scratch the teflon, so I kept the piece of thin foam that protects the inside. I line it with that before storing the parts.It's nice and deep.I'm pretty sure I'll replace it in the near future.

Question: What is defective in my steamer?

It seems the seal that keeps the water in the bottom of my steamer is defective. I thought I had it fixed by pushing it in a little, but last night came home to water all over the counter and floor after setting it out for several hours to be ready to turn on when we got home. Despite being a mess to clean up, it seems dangerous to have electrical appliances sitting around in pools of water. Save your box and receipt, so you can return it if needed. I was disappointed to discover that you cannot cook rice and veggies at same time (unless you put the veggies IN with the rice. So I am upgrading to a steamer which allows me to do this. This was a good purchase, I think, to figure out whether I would use it and what I really wanted in a rice cooker/steamer. I just wish I had my $30 back.

Question: What kind of situation would the poster use it in?

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did. She absolutely loves this thing, so much so that I've actually been chided for even trying it on. And I have to say it is comfortable too. It's the ultimate in couch potato lounging. Perfect for the winter days when you just want to sit back and watch some movies.

Question: What happened when the items got tangled?

As I have an agitator washing machine, I really appreciate bagging bras and other items that used to tangle brutally in the wash, sometimes strangling other stuff into deep wrinkles that needed an iron to get out. I took two of the bags on vacation with me last year and felt none of the usual embarrassment at laundry time when I had to mix my clothes with those of my host family. The bags are opaque enough to give a bit of privacy to what's inside. Thanks for a durable product that saves both threads and personal pride.

Question: How big is the item?

Pretty cool..This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily! Makes long long strands of veggie "zoodles". It has two sizes of noodle to make. Gave it a try last night. I had to individually cut the noodles to the size I wanted them.. not sure how I feel about that yet. Cooked easy and was a great healthy meal choice for my family! gonna get lots of uses out of it with all the squash planted in the garden!The only gripe I really have about it is the leftover nubs of squash.. seems so wasteful!

Question: how long did it take the writer to go back to the pillow they used before getting this one?

These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. My husband continued to use his for a week or two more, despite the fact that he complained about how flat and uncomfortable it was on a nightly basis.If those problems weren't bad enough, it's almost as if your head slides around when you're trying to sleep on one. I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.

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 tip does the reviewer share to get the best ice cream?

I love this for making small batches of ice cream. When I want to make multiple batches, I use my full size Hamilton Beach ice cream freezer. This is perfect for single batches or small batches only. Keep it in the deep freezer, and it is always ready to use. I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer. When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency.

Question: What is the author's overall thoughts on the scale?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: Who hooked it up?

This company sent me this by mistake, I had ordered an espresso machine, anyways they let me keep it at no charge. At first I was like so upset about it! But my kids hooked it up and made me tea, I am a big green tea drinker- well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea. Anyway now I love it and its great. Also the owner of the company, Karl- he was great about the whole thing, he was so helpful and even though I was totally rude about the mistake he remained professional and apologetic and really fixed everything.

Question: Where did the writer buy their old mug?

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: What has the wife been complaining about?

We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. Anyways this Mattress Topper has solved that issue and I enjoy the extra softness as well! It is definitely a cheaper alternative than returning our mattress and upgrading to one of the tempurpedic "cloud" series which basically just has a pillow top stitched onto their patented memory foam

Question: What is wrong with the size?

First of all I like the small size of the unit since it takes up little room on my counter. But that comes at a price. There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. Nope, you have to manually turn it off when it reaches the right level.Final quirk is that the flow between the two nozzles is seldom even. One side always seems to get the bulk of the flow. Perhaps it is the way I load pods in it. But I only make a cup at a time so that is okay I guess. Which sums up my review. The unit is okay considering the price.

Question: What potatoes does the author recommend?

Have you tried using a ricer for mashed potatoes? If not, you're missing out!Here's how you do it;Place the potatoes (I use Yukon Gold) in well salted water with their jackets still on. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easliy inserted into each potato. (They have to be soft of they won't go through the ricer.)Drain the hot water and remove the skins with your hands using paper towels as a "mitt". (The skins will slip off really easily, but Potatoes are HOT, be careful!)Place hot potato in ricer and push through. FOLD IN butter, cheese, chives, sour cream, whatever you like. The key is not to over mix because then the potatoes become gluey and heavy. Thats it, super simple and everyone will love them!

Question: What does the author say about their sleep quality?

I've had the opportunity to review a number of memory foam mattresses. This one is neither the best nor the worst.I like that the bed is firm, but not too firm, as with any other memory foam. This model forms to the contour of my body great and is easy to get comfortable in. My sleep quality has improved, I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore.On the other hand it is one of the mattresses that gets hot at night. Prior to this model I had a mattress that focused on staying cool at night. When moving the mattress around it's awkward and heavy, so if you plan on moving soon or you like to rearrange furniture often, keep that in mind; this also pertains to the packaging - it's too large for your standard car. The edges of the mattrees are hard and a pain to sit on. The smell took a while to get used to, also.Because of the heat the bed puts off overnight causing me to wake up sweating, I had to give this 3 stars. I absolutely HATE waking up sweating and this was the deal breaker for me. I had to revert back to my old mattress and put this one back in storage.

Because of the heat the bed puts off overnight causing me to wake up sweating, I had to give this 3 stars. I absolutely HATE waking up sweating and this was the deal breaker for me. I had to revert back to my old mattress and put this one back in storage.

I've had the opportunity to review a number of memory foam mattresses. This one is neither the best nor the worst.I like that the bed is firm, but not too firm, as with any other memory foam. This model forms to the contour of my body great and is easy to get comfortable in. My sleep quality <hl> has improved <hl>, I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore.On the other hand it is one of the mattresses that gets hot at night. Prior to this model I had a mattress that focused on staying cool at night.

Question: What makes the flip of turkey easy?

I got the red roaster to replace an overpriced, overrated calphalon roaster I had. I used it Thanksgiving to roast my huge turkey. I roast upside down then 3 quarters of the way i flip the bird. The v shaped rack made that easy. I've also roasted duck legs with potatoes and onions and they came out perfectly with no sticking! I detest washing dishes but the pan cleaned up quickly with very little effort using a scrubby sponge... much easier than the black calphalon roaster it replaced. it looks really good too! I am very happy with the roaster. I'm looking forward to using it for a long time and maybe adding a few more colorful RR pieces as well. Happy Holidays!

Question: What's wrong with the motor temperature?

I can only give this a 3. Tools are to small-the motor has a w h i n e to it that drives me nuts! The motor also seems to get very hot--maybe I got a dud and just don't know it. The hoses are stiff-no flexibility at all. I do like a canister vacuum though as opposed to an upright-at least this one follows me around and doesn't knock me out when I pull it along. All in all it is an OK product but they could have done a much better job with the design--you must wrap the cord on the bottom for storage-not a useful feature at all--does it work ok? Sure it does. Should you buy it? Only if you don't mind all the above draw backs.

Question: What will they be making soon?

Every since I was a little kid, I can always remember seeing and hearing my mother using an Oster to make incredible things to drink and for other uses in the kitchen. As I grew up I understood and have used the Oster for all my adult life and it's the name I always think of when I think of blenders.As the years have progressed, I've noticed a lack of power in some of the blenders I've had for use, BUT there is no lack of power with this beautiful blender.This is the most powerful blender I've ever used, it's truly amazing and makes the BEST beverages I've ever tasted. This blender deals with ice in an incredible way, Perfection!The beautiful cookbook that comes with it makes me daydream about some of the tasty sounding recipes and I'm hoping to try some of them out, but first... another tasty beverage made in this powerful blender is in my near future.This is hands down, the BEST blender I've ever had and the 7 year warranty lets me know that Oster will stand behind this powerful blender for years to come.Amazing!

Question: Does the bottle leak?

I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car.I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. But I don't like it when the water gets warm and in the summer, leaving the bottle in the car means hot drinking water. Yuk. So I wondered, there must be insulated bottles and sure enough found this one.Love it.It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.The spout is handy and flips open easily. It doesn't leak at all.

Question: Which types of plastic containers does the author not like?

I love oxo products, with the exception of their plastic. It WILLcrack. I love these lids. Occasionally they fall apart, but usually I can get them out back together. I like this product, but not as much as the others. We had filled it with a fruity mix of candy, and were at the end when my son touched it and knocked it. Kept tipping because the lid was heavy. Not a big deal if it is full, but with their plastic, I don't like the tall or strange shaped containers. They tip and the plastic breaks or cracks.

Question: What kind of fruit does the color remind the author of?

I probably would not have purchased this handy little device for myself, but I appreciated receiving it as a gift. The color is nice and bright--pretty much matching the color of an avocado. It actually does work for keeping a leftover half avocado from going brown for a couple of days. The truth is, though, mytwo-cup plastic storage containers with lidswork just as well, so unless you like cute gadgets, I'm not sure it's worth the extra money if you already have such containers in your kitchen.

Question: How do you carry around the thermos?

I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I love cold water, like water that's been refrigerated, don't like ice. But at work I wasn't able to keep my water cold so I always ended up grabbing a can of Coke (office keeps these in the frig). if I put a bottle of water in the frig, everyone would have helped themselves to my cold water. I figured a thermos might work. This Thermos keeps the water at least cool all 10.5 hours I'm at work (it does go from cold to cool as the day gets long but it's still cool enough) so I've kicked the Coke habit and have been drinking a lot more water. Except now I run out of water, drink it all, so now am thinking about getting a bigger Thermos. I like the strap handle. Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it. I'm just happy with this guy. Thinking of buying a Thermos mug too so my water will always be cold.

Question: What did the friend own?

AeroPress makes a wonderful coffee and is also really good for traveling. I have used this for many years and my friend who owns a local cafe and is a connoisseur (which I am not) tells me that it is known to be better than the less expensive espresso machines and to get as good a cup of coffee I would have to get a very expensive (like 1000$ ) espresso coffee maker. When I travel for a month I take it with me, as it is lightweight and small, and a cup of coffee per day at a cafe is $4 euros and more, and that can add up over a month. I just buy the grounds and make my own during longer trips.

Question: What do they use it to hold?

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

Question: Who are the people that compliment the bags?

These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. Half gallon of milk fits great.Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are.They keep everything nice and cold on the drive home. (My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. Nice and thick.The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.I'm going to get my daughter-in-law some so she doesn't have to keep borrowing mine.

Question: What was missing on the shower curtain?

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: What should you use if you want a water-tight seal?

Don't waste your money. Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing. They leak less than these and are free. If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. I will grant that these are pretty and white and don't have a food name embossed on them. But they are for storing stuff, so who is really going to see it? I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. I use recycled lids or canning lids for everything else.

Question: How many cats does this reviewer have?

I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. The vacuum sucks up hair, dirt, fuzz and bird seed from my parrot with ease, and I love the auto cord feature- that is a blessing! The canister empties easy as well.I have read reviews about this, and there seems to be a flaw with the belt, but I have been using it for 2 weeks now daily, and so far working perfect. As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... A good Vacuum is a must, especially with pets and allergies :)* Update Sept 17th, 2011 * Its been a couple months since I received and my vacuum is still running great! I use daily to clean up after my dogs, cats and parrot.. It picks up hair, dirt ( on my tile floors ) and bird seed. No issues with belt, or any issues period! Very Very happy with this vacuum-

Question: How many people live in that house?

I bought these to use instead of paper plates. Since its just the two of us, I started using paper to avoid either running a half full dishwasher or hand washing dishes. I decided to give these a try. They're great. They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer. Plus, due to the size, you can fit your entire meal along with a roll onto the same plate without crowding.I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too.

I decided to give these a try. They're great. They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer.

Question: What happened to the case of this product?

Update: 1/19/2011I am disappointed that the case discolored so much and the lid cracked. Maybe I should just buy another one but it seems like they could have made it more durable and lasting. Will try an alternative this time.Original review.------------------------------------------------I had one of these 30 or 40 years ago and was tickled pink to find it again.I just like:1)not having the screaming jet engine noise of the thermal popcorn poppers.2)not having an extra appliance around.I pop the corn, add the salt and extra piquant spices, and pack my stomach full without any extra cholesterol. It's a sweet life.

Question: Are all the pieces of garlic peeled?

Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!) I love.When I'm crushing a bunch of garlic, I peel all the pieces except for the last one. This way, I don't have to clean out the press after each crush, and the skin on one at the end makes it easier to clean out because the skin sort of "pulls out" the garlic bits. Also, being able to leave the skin on is great for all those tiny little cloves of garlic in the middle of the bulb that are a pain to peel.

Question: How did the product arrive?

I've ordered two separate shipments of two boxes each, and all have arrived in perfect, unbroken condition. I used them for my spices, and unlike another reviewer, found they perfectly fit a U.S. standard size spice jar (e.g., McCormick's). The trick is: tap the jar a few times to settle the contents, then you'll have room for the rest of what's in the jar from the grocery store.I labeled the tops of these with clear spice labels (Spice Bottle Labels (set of 84) - Clear (0.5"h x 2"w)) and was able to fit 48 bottles in my drawer. Yes, that's a LOT of spices, but I'm an avid home cook trying to replace sodium with herbs and spices so a wide selection is essential.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

I have gotten tremendous use out these cappuccino glasses. They are the perfect size for cappuccino, espresso or even a small glass of coffee or tea. The steal handles come off and go back on nicely and the glass is high-quality and very durable (never any chips or cracks and I use these all the time). These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. Besides hot beverages, I have found other uses for these cups. I also use them to crack eggs in; they're perfect for holding at least 2 eggs because they are see-through and because of the slightly oversized top of the glasses which include an elongated lip. I have also used these glasses to serve mini parfaits in. I'm also very pleased with this set because it's at offered at a great value.

Question: What brand of mandolin did they get?

I was interested in this for one purpose: to hold my pastry mat in place. Though it is "non slip" - it does, indeed, move around. So when I received the non slip table mat - I went right to work making some cinnamon rolls using the non slip mat under my pastry mat. What a joy! It firmly keeps the pastry map in place - no more chasing the dough around the table! As a bonus - I had sliced my right hand on a mandolin (and then my husband sliced his finger on it when trying to put it away - we threw it in the trash!Oxo Good Grips V-Blade Mandolin Slicerand had to get stitches and my right hand is bandaged up. Of course, my hand is a bit weaker now and cumbersome with the bandages... and I was trying to open a bottle of parmesan cheese and couldn't open it. Then I remembered that the non-slip mat could be used to open bottles and used it - it worked! So I would think this would be very helpful to those who have compromised hand strength. I love it!

Question: How many previous versions of the product did the reviewer own?

I've had two earlier versions of the Floormate. They seemed to pick up the wet water better. This model doesn't do quite the job they did on pickup. This is wider and I do like the attachments (and the nifty storage rack) to get under things. I have sheet vinyl throughout the house due to a wheelchair bound family member so use it daily. Being wider has it's pro and con - faster on the big areas, but harder to get into spaces that the older version could manage. Go SLOW if you want a decent job done. Clean up with the new version is much improved and easier! Like the easy way the dirty water container comes out and apart to empty. Advantage is that you aren't just slopping dirty mop water around so floors feel and look really nice. I will ALWAYS have one in my house! Makes life easier!

Question: What type of water do they use?

Makes a three shots of great tasting "espresso". I use a grind halfway between drip and espresso. Found starting with hot water makes a much better brew - less time on the stove. Steam and water leaked between the chambers the first couple times I used it. Took the seal off and carefully cleaned it and the threads; problem solved. Easy to clean, too.

Question: What was use to decalcify the cups?

I just bought one on clearance at the local grocery. I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it. (I.e., the other reviews saying it's not hot or not strong may have defective units.).It's also easy to clean. The permanent fabric filter cup and drain cup come out. That's all that needs to be cleaned (except occasional wipe down, vinegar to decalcify, etc.).If you want to use a short mug, it will splatter. Solution is to use a small glass upside down. Sit the mug on top, so it's closer to the drip stream.

Question: How big is the cutting board?

For the price there are no complaints from me. I did a little research and concluded on this product. I needed a simple cutting board for the kitchen and that's exactly what I receieved. It has stood up to the dishwasher and all the punishment I've put it through. Having said that, this board is only 12x8" so don't expect something that's going to cover half your counter because it most certainly won't. It's a nice product for the smaller cooking tasks and thus far seems to be worth the little amount of money I had to spend on it in the first place.

Question: What kinds of cans can't the writer's opener open?

From reading other reviews, my guess is the main problem is inconsistant quality from unit to unit.My experience has been mainly positive. After going through what seemed like a dozen convential can openers, I chose this one, on a whim. I works as advertised, but mine has 3 flaws:1. It won't open small cans, such as tuna or tomato paste. Attempting to open these will only run the batteries down.2. The battery life is shorter than I would like, but nothing like some reviews I've read here.3. The battery compartment is hard to open.Other than those 3 issues, I'm happy with my opener.

Question: Which model blender is being replaced?

I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks.I can't speak to other's expectations or results, but the makers bill this blender as an affordable alternative to a Vitamix.It is not. It doesn't come close.It blends just as nicely as the ~$100 Cuisinart I previously had, but it is nothing close to the Vitamix 5200 it is temporarily replacing. The speed and smoothness are legions away from the Vitamix. I can't fathom how anyone could even try to compare the two. I've used 20 year old Vitamixes that blend more smoothly.I'll keep it and possibly use it as a travel/back-up/whatever blender, but there really isn't a comparison. I'd happily give it a higher rating if the makers weren't trying to say the devices compare to each other. It's an absolutely decent blender, but any comparison to a Vitamix is completely out of line, ATMO.

Question: What transition does it work well with?

Purchased this and didn't get to use it until just before Thanksgiving. Have loved it ever since. It is easy to move in tight areas. That's a plus because I don't have a lot of space in my dining area and always had to move the chairs into the great room. Now, I can just pull the chairs away from the table and get completely under the table. I purchased the "animal" version because I have two dogs. I can hear this Dyson sucking up grit and crumbs that they drag in through the doggie door onto my oriental rug. Plus it goes easily from the rug to the hardwood and also does a great job on the ceramic tile in the kitchen and wall to wall carpet in the bedroom. It also isn't as noisey as my other vacs. This model comes as the "animal" and regular...so if you have pets, be careful to get the "animal" version. It is worth the extra. This was the best price, even with TV shopping special value (not the animal) and department store specials. Worth every penny. Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair.

Question: What was the verdict of the purchase?

Recommended. I bought a couple, two years ago. I wash every couple months. I am careful not to dry on high heat. The coating inside looks like a plastic, and I haven't wanted to risk melting. With gentle low heat or hang drying, they have lasted and still appear to be an effective barrier. Although I haven't had a bug problem to say for sure.The only challenge is if you have fluffy pillows (mine are down) and you use this case, it is near impossible to put flannel sheets on because of the friction of the case loops and the flannel.
