Question: Was the item easy to build?

After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later). Needless to say when it was all said and done we are very happy with it, the drawers are very useful and a good size and space for all of the components is perfect. The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height.The only reason I give it 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the amount of time it took to build it! Between my wife and I it took nearly 2 hours. The directions are ok but could have been much clearer, and the parts could of been separated and labeled much better than just a "bag" full of parts.I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good tv stand but willing to spend sometime putting it together.

Answer: took nearly 2 hours

I folowed the instructions and found that the coffee was very weak so I experimented with differint grinds and filter no filter. I found not useing the paper filter and grinding the coffee expresso and stoping the water when it starts to look pale makes a med. strong cup. A lot of work for a decent cup. I still think that my old krups drip makes a great cup. I will keep trying other alternets to the pods becous there very expensive. I am waiting for some one to start manufacturing a home pod maker. that you can fill & seel at home.

Question: Which kind of water is the product able to produce?

I bought these at the same time as two extra 1 liter bottles and after the order was processed, I started questioning myself if these were really needed or not. Well, you know what? I use these pretty much daily now and haven't even touched the extra liter bottles I got yet and it's been three months. These are the perfect size for me. I dislike making a ton of carbonated water just to have it sit in the fridge and go flat. If I'm going to make it at home, I'm going to make it to order and these bottles are perfect for that. I also love that they fit perfectly in my purse or my car drink holder. I can take them anywhere!

Question: What is the brand of the cast iron?

I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. I haven't cooked anything in it yet, but I can't wait to try it out. It is heavier than I thought so once I put in a roast, potatoes, carrots, etc. I'm sure I'll need a crane to left it...LOL. I ordered this based on the reviews, and once again the reviews have not let me down. I live alone, so that's why I ordered the 7qt so I can make large quantities of everything, and I know my brother and sister-in-law will want to borrow it. The quality is excellent; you can tell that just by looking at it. I plan on using this also as a slow cooker, and I hear your meals are done in half the time. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in cooking with cast iron.

Question: is the quality nice?

I bought this set to go with a RSVP set that I could no longer find except on those expensive replacement sights. Just happened across it and thought it might match. Well the design is the same and the shape of the spoon bowls are the same. Very nice quality too. So I came back and ordered a second set! GREAT!

Question: What happened after a few months?

This was a great skillet when new. The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge. We don't use metal utensils or scouring pads nor have we ever run it through the dishwasher or tried to deep fry in the thing. Its just peeling off for no reason. I'm really disappointed for this being a Farberware product.

Question: How does she describe the new holder?

I recently renovated my kitchen so needed a sponge holder to place a plastic one which was really gross even though I scrubbed it weekly. This holder looks nice in my new stainless steel sink, is small so it blends in nicely and is out of the way. When I initially stuck this on to the inside of my sink, it fell off twice. I lightly scrubbed the area and wiped it clean, the suction cup has been there for the last three weeks with no problems! It's also much easier to clean than the plastic one I had previously.I'd recommend this for anyone with a stainless steel sink who wants a simple holder that is small and unobstrusive.

Question: What did they use?

This rack is okay, but not great. I agree with other reviewers that the lids are very fragile. I am extremely careful when taking them off and putting them back on. I feel that any over tightening will crack the thin plastic. That being said, it's still better to have all my odds and ends of spices in this compact rack. I used a label maker to put the names on the bottles and put them in alphabetical order to make it easy and quick to find what I need. So many of the racks I found were wall mount and that wasn't an option for me so I'm glad to find this one at a reasonable price.

Question: What brand of coffee maker had a cup style fitler?

Perhaps I have been brainwashed into believing that the method of brewing coffee influences flavor, but I have been using a cone style filter for most of my adult life and was shocked when I opened this coffee maker and discovered it had a cup-style filter (not mentioned anywhere I could see in the advertisements for it). As with another reviewer, the temperature was much lower than my favorite old Cuisinart which broke down after many years of daily-plus use, and the coffee cooled down in my cup before I was even halfway finished with it. I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years.

Question: What is special?

I'm a no clutter kind of guy in the kitchen. If I don't use something, it ends up gone... but a microplane grater will NEVER be absent from my kitchen again.These graters are a billion times better than any other brand. They use a special manufacturing process that etches the holes in the blade rather than punching them, which leads to a stronger, sharper edge. The result? This thing will breeze through difficult to grate items with almost no effort. I use mine mostly for parmigiana cheese and whole nutmeg, but I have also found it incredibly useful for grating those fibrous ginger roots.

Question: What product did the reviewer use as a test before investing in the full set of towels?

These are nice towels. I will buy them again. I tried the little face towels first just to make sure I was getting something I would like before I invested in the full set.They are supremely soft. They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. It is to be expected considering the thread count. When they come out of the wash, they do get even softer. These are like high quality hotel towels. I am very pleased with this product. Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far.I would buy again. Also, the price on Amazon is competitive. These come quickly and with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. They are also one of the top ranked towel products if you search on Amazon in Home and Kitchen under bath towels and sort by stars, which is what I did to find them in the first place.

Question: How long did it take the new garbage cans to arrive?

I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can, but alas I did not just once but twice! We wanted a fingerprint proof garbage can, so we received a stainless steel one a few years ago as a gift. It worked great, except that it had an external hinge, which left scuff marks on our walls. THese cans have an internal hinge, so they do not rub on the wall that they are next to. There is an internal removable can for easy cleaning. You can also lock the lid open for airing it out. Simplehuman recommends using their bags, which do fit perfectly, but just buy generic ones from the grocery and they work fine. We bought 2: one for garbage, one for recycling.WHen we first ordered these, they arrived damaged in shipping. Each had a big dent in the back. Granted they were shipped in their original Simplehuman boxes with no extra padding. Returns was easy, and new ones arrived 2 days later. They were packed with lots of stuffing within the Simplehuman boxes. Then placed inside another "shipper" box with lots of filler. No dents!

Question: Why did he hate this unit before?

I bought this heater before got a bad one and I really did not give it a chance I lived in a very drafty home. I read all the write ups about and deceiced to give it another try. I am very happy I did this one works well even in the drafty home it just takes time for this heater to heat a large area but if it is well insulated it will heat a whole two bedroom apartment I have moved from that drafty place I had two oil heaters and this iliving and a gas furnice for a week this was able to make a small room comfortable but in the insulated apartment it is amazing when it is not real cold out it heats the whole house with out the home heater I like the heat better than a gas heater it heats a 12 X 13 room very well next winter I plan to purchase another one and heat this whole apartment with two it is just too big for one when it gets down to the teens.

Question: What unique feature do other vacuum have, but this one does not?

This vacuum has got to have the strongest suction of any cleaner ever made. PLEASE keep household birds and small animals locked up when you're using it! This is a two-way sword, however, because when vacuuming HEAVY WOOL AREA RUGS it tries to suck up the rug and makes the most frightening squeal! It needs to have an "area rug" adjustment. Or, like other vacuums, several height adjustments. I am not talking about those bathroom rugs, either. Those would disappear into the chamber.With our Berber, it's glued down so it is fine on it. And it does well on bare floors, too, although large leaves don't do well. Look out for twist ties, also (hate to think the sound Those would make). I would be nervous using it on large shag rugs, too. You feel like you need a tranquilizer before you use it in case it tries to suck up your oriental rug.The wand that lifts up that you put attachments on is too stiff to come out easily like it did on our Fantom (which also had height adjustments).And I haven't figured out how to put it back in yet. I think I figured out the reason it vacuums up rugs: it doesn't have a BEATER BAR. You know those big, heavy cylinders that many uprights have? This instead has a1/4" thin plastic thing with brushes on it that spins. So there is a lot of SPACE around this beater "thingy" leaving certain items at risk of being sucked up. (like rugs) This spinning thing? I wonder how long it'll last? I wonder if they WANT it to last?To empty out the dirt, (this is when that big canister is HALF full) you struggle with it to get the bottom to open then the dirt falls down into the trash can. There is no big HANDLE that says, "PULL TO OPEN AND DUMP."Something else quite original: on other vacuums, there is a little footpedal on the base on the right hand side you push down to get going. This does not have one of those. You have to push this long, slippery bar that goes across the front of the thing to let the handle down. Odd.Bottom line: Mr Dyson is right: it doesn't lose suction. You could probably use several to pull the Space Station back to earth.

I think I figured out the reason it vacuums up rugs: it doesn't have a BEATER BAR. You know those big, heavy cylinders that many uprights have? This instead has a1/4" thin plastic thing with brushes on it that spins. So there is a lot of SPACE around this beater "thingy" leaving certain items at risk of being sucked up. (like rugs) This spinning thing? I wonder how long it'll last? I wonder if they WANT it to last?To empty out the dirt, (this is when that big canister is HALF full) you struggle with it to get the bottom to open then the dirt falls down into the trash can. There is no big HANDLE that says, "PULL TO OPEN AND DUMP."Something else quite original: on other vacuums, there is a little <hl> footpedal on the base <hl> on the right hand side you push down to get going. This does not have one of those. You have to push this long, slippery bar that goes across the front of the thing to let the handle down. Odd.Bottom line: Mr Dyson is right: it doesn't lose suction. You could probably use several to pull the Space Station back to earth.


Question: What store can a shop vac be purchased from?

First if you are looking for a vac with the most suck, this is not the one. Hey, get a shop vac from Sears. I've had one 35 years and it still out sucks them all.Having said that, this Cordless from Hoover is Great! I've had a lot of vacs. I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around.Of all the vacs that I have had since they all have one thing in common. Just as I need to go another five feet I run out of cord. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I'm sick and tired of running out of cord. I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything. A royal pain in the aspen. But in comes the Hoover stick. It has good pickup, I finish before the battery dies and then just stand it up in the colset. It's great, easy to use and I actually vac more often. I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. LOL

Question: What is the product made from?

I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. Good quality, comfort, effectiveness, and smart design are the hallmarks of OXO and this tool is no exception.Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie. It has a comfortable handle and is made of a sturdy grade of stainless steel. It is flexible enough to make a non-messy first cut and it can slide under to pick up the last piece of pie. It has a serrated edge that produces a nice cut and it washes up nicely by hand or dishwasher without staining.It also has a hole in the handle which is perfect for hanging on a rack.Overall, a great pie cutter which can handle a hefty wedge of pie.

Question: How will this person use the cast iron?

Answer: slow cooker

I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. I haven't cooked anything in it yet, but I can't wait to try it out. It is heavier than I thought so once I put in a roast, potatoes, carrots, etc. I'm sure I'll need a crane to left it... LOL. I ordered this based on the reviews, and once again the reviews have not let me down. I live alone, so that's why I ordered the 7qt so I can make large quantities of everything, and I know my brother and sister-in-law will want to borrow it. The quality is excellent; you can tell that just by looking at it. <hl> I plan on using this also as a slow cooker , and I hear your meals are done in half the time. <hl> I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in cooking with cast iron.

Question: what problem did other users report for this product?

I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much. It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers. It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks, like the canisters) It is easy to use. I use it for left overs more than marinating. It does marinate well, and it's a good sized container. It's flaws are that it can't be used in the microwave and you really can't take it and go, to a party for instance. It also isn't stackable with other marinators (I have two) and it takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. I put the lid upside down in the marinator bottom and stack them that way. The lid doesn't lock without the vacuum sealing, so once it's opened it isn't good for transporting if you're away from home, or moving the liquid left overs from the BBQ back to the kitchen without the threat of spilling. I would like to be able to take it from the refrigerator to the microwave to heat up leftovers or to a party with snacks and have the lid snap back on when it's time to go home or...... Maybe the next generation?????

Question: What happens when baking gluten free bread?

I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. Since gluten free bread tends to continue to shrink after baking, my idea was that the "bowling ball" shape of these loaves would shrink equally in all directions, and still look attractive -- and that is proving out in practice pretty well, with only the bottom flat of the loaves buckling in slightly. So, I end up with very attractive and well-browned bread to eat, none of that unsightly "shrunken head" appearance of gluten free bread which one buys in the refrigerated section of the grocery store!

Question: What does this person want to control, when it comes to their frappes?

Receiived tonight and used it almost immediately I am the type of person who normally gets a frappe a couple times a week...keeping this in mind I figured the machine would pay itself off within a month. I am not dissappointed. The machine is super easy to use, takes regular coffee grounds and other items you would already have (milk, sugar, ect), and makes a pretty decent sized frappe. (the equiv of a super large or two medium drinks from mcdonalds or starbucks) I like the fact that I can control sugar and calorie content and switch up flavors.

Question: In what room is the suthor using the item?

This little guy heats my bedroom every night. My room is about 250 sf and this guy heats it up in less than an hour from the daytime temp of about 50-60 degrees up to a steamy 75-80 like i like it. Then I just turn down the dial to maintain the temp i want. Really quiet, i never notice it at all when it is on the Hi or Low setting. If you set it on a specific temperature it does turn on and off successively to try to regulate a specific temp, so that could be annoying. I usually leave it on Low while I sleep. Great deal for the cost!

Question: What makes this product a step above the competition?

When this vacuum came in a small square box, I wasn't quite sure what to think. However, after taking a little time to put it together (with the help of hubby), I'm happy to say this vacuum delivers what it promises. It's a great vacuum for someone who has heavy duty cleaning needs. It's sturdy and has great suction power. I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer.This vacuum is definitely built more for corporate cleaning than household cleaning - there is no twisting or bending, no hose with various nozzles for cleaning stairs. This is a straight-forward heavy duty vacuuming machine.

Question: How many different drinks can be made with this product?

I did a bit of research on frothing pitchers because I'm teaching myself latte art. The default pitcher that came with my espresso machine is harder to get the frothing right compare to Espro. As much as Espro wants to advertised this pitcher is easy to use no-brainer...the bottom line, you need to learn and understand how to froth milk correctly using your machine's steam wand, each machine is different!!!I'm giving a 4-star because once you are using the steam wand correctly, watching your temperature, this little pitcher does what it claims to do...a nice cup of steam milk with micro foams. This pitcher is definitely good for only one drink.

Question: How much liquid can the bottle contain?

ZingAnything Aqua Zinger - Green Sports Cap = AWESOMENESS! It's way better than I thought and more than I expected! Okay...read the product details, you will still be amazed when you receive it. It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. Since buying the blueberry & pomegranate concentrates here on Amazon for my smoothies, I now add some to my (infused) water. I'm gonna look so darn smart this summer! hahaha :D

Question: The frame is painted green to match the Moai's what?

April 2012:I've enjoyed owning this item for years. I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. The frame has a cutout which fits a `standard' tissue box - it looks like a picture frame. The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. When `closed,' the box covers the cutout which is holding the tissue box. Works well, looks good. I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

Question: What kind of breaks have they made so far?

This stone does not leave my oven because I use it so much. So far I have baked artisan bread, pizza crust, pastries, pretzels, and all other types of bread on it and it keeps on asking for more.The only problem you will encounter is if you make pizzas on it or bake breads that have a higher than normal oil content that will stain the stone, the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken. This does not take away from the performance at all, so dont let that slow you down from buying it.

Question: What does the microfiber feel like?

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: What are the pros?

Ok enough with the puns. I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal. Did I mention I have animals? Comparing these 3 products is not really equal. The Dyson is over 5 yrs old and the other hoover is over 1yr old. That being said the Dyson still performs as well as the newer hoovers. As far as this model I am really impressed with it. It does clean the carpets really well. I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. I vacuumed a room with the previous model, then went back over it with this one. I got almost 2x as much dirt in the canister as with the previous hoover and this was me vacuuming the room in sequential fashion.Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value.Thanks for reading my review.

I got almost 2x as much dirt in the canister as with the previous hoover and this was me vacuuming the room in sequential fashion.Pros:<hl> + very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessories <hl>Cons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value.Thanks for reading my review.

Question: What is a tad short for a crock pot?

I bought this just about a year ago when undergoing a kitchen renovation when I needed some way of cooking other than a microwave and b/c I had no stove on which to cook.It is not for the faint at heart to set a slow-cooker for 8 hours, in your dining room no less, and then go off to work for the next 8 hours. I tried this first on the weekends, and was not disappointed. Mind you, I was particularly watching temperatures of this cooker more so than most because it was not situated in its natural surround. It did not disappoint.The crock itself is hefty. The outside of the unit does get hot to the touch, but even at it's highest setting - not any more than what you would expect if what you have inside is to be cooked. If you want an "Easy-Bake-Oven" type of appliance - then do buy one of those.As for capacity - unless you consistently cook for a crowd this will serve you just fine.The cord is a tad short, but think this was designed so that the unit was used close to the counter top back wall (where most electrical outlets are) and to keep curious children at bay.Is it the best one out there? Dunno...that is for your to decide and based on your needs.I'm satisfied with it - yes.Happy shopping!

Question: How do you clean 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: What releases easy?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: How is the design described?

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

Question: What is the poster shipped in?

This is just like any other poster you would buy in the store. I did not have the same experience as Scott did. As far as the text goes, I think it is supposed to be tacky and corny. It's a poster of a hot broad bending over in a fridge for cristsake, not fancy art work! It's a poster, no more no less. If you're a fan of beer and also girls bending over, and have a man cave that needs some 'sprucing up', then this is the poster for you. The poster ships in a regular triangle type box and arrived in a timely manner. Worth buying. Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience.

Question: What did the person not like about silicone contained in the ice cube tray?

So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

Question: How many shakers did I buy?

I initially bought this because I wanted a glass shaker for oil and vinegar dressing, trying to swear off all plastic containers. I not only bought 1 I bought 2 for good measure. I also weight lift so the second one I use for standard protein shakes. It works very well. It's a little small and doesn't afford a lot of room, but can still get a two scoop of protein mix shake done. Mine do not leak, I know that some others have said theirs did and if that's the case you should return them. If they made a larger version I would defiantly buy it.Negatives (even though I didn't remove any stars): One of the first two I received was broken, it was very poorly packaged and the replacement was very well packaged and was perfect. Secondly the cap that goes over the spout is a little awkward but it works. Still love them none the less.

Question: If you wanted a bedroom air purifier model what is recommended?

This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings. The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. To give you an idea of what I'm trying to say, while you likely wouldn't have a hard time sleeping with setting 1, you might with setting 2, and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3. Of course, everyone's mileage varies and I'm using words to describe an audible volume, which is not the same as hearing it yourself. As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance.If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.)

Question: What is prevented by the way it cuts the lid?

I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. I thanked that person because this opener is AWESOME! Not only is it the SAFEST opener I've ever used but fast, clean and quieter. It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required. How I've done without this wonderful opener all these years... tsk tsk... a shame. I'm a very happy customer and I'm confident raving about this fantastic Can Opener!

Question: What is disturbing?

We have 3 dogs and I also foster dogs, plus 2 cats and 2 teenagers. I vacuum every day, because I have to. This is my second Hoover, and like the first, this one has excellent suction. In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up. Yuck.THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long+ Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on.THE BAD:- Not "steerable" and pretty heavy- I hate how the hinged canister-lid opens. It swings open as the dirt pours out, invariably getting a lot of dirt on it. There must be a cleaner way.BOTTOM LINE:* Nothing fancy but really really strong suction that works on pet hair.

Question: What type of kitchen pans were these bought to be used with?

I bought both the Bambu Kitchen Fork and the Cephalon Nylon Fork a year ago, both for use with non-stick kitchen pans.I used both, but have settled on the bamboo fork. That's what I reach for most times.The nylon fork has sharp tines that will pick up meat pieces; the bamboo fork does not do that job.The bamboo fork shrugs off encounters with hot pans; the nylon fork as gouges melted into it.Your mileage may vary.
