Question: How much was the Ionizer?

Answer: very expensive

I'm not sure what product was received by the other folks that have written reviews about this product but I do know that my Ionizer was a real DUD.First of all you need a really DEEP 12v socket in order to plug it in - take a look at the picture - see the little silver button on the side? That is how deep your socket must be in order to turn the Ionizer on. Then you have to constantly adjust it in the socket in order for it to stay ON.Finally it has such little power that it would take about six weeks for it to purify the air in an SUV, possibly longer. Not what I expected until I realized that it was made in China. Truly another piece of imported garbage. <hl> It is a very expensive piece of plastic junk. <hl> Buy American - if you can find it.

Question: What color is it?

This looks great once assembled and provides plenty of organization. The color looks gray-ish in the picture, but it isn't (thankfully for us). The description is accurate in saying the color is black with brown undertones. It was made to look like wood that was painted black, but only to the point where wood grain is showing through slightly.The instructions are very long and specific. If you read them very carefully and understand what is being said, they are very helpful. There is a plastic leg that goes in the middle of the base that sticks out slightly more than the other legs...hopefully this was just ours since we were able to easily spin the TV stand. We have cardboard under the back legs to keep it still...this may be ok on carpet, though.Overall this is great and we are very pleased!

Question: What does a soda stream dispenser need in order to work?

We have a soda stream dispenser. We like it. We hate that the CO2 and the bottles are sooooo expensive, and have solved the CO2 problem with another product. Still stuck buying the proprietary bottles at crazy high prices considering standard plastic drink bottles are almost free. I hate to be locked in after the fact to buying what could be a commodity for highway robbery prices. Three stars because they are well made.

Question: What is the suction like?

It has good suction ,seems functional but not an outstanding vacuum .You can't vacuum under furniture because the plastic container that you empty is to big.The cord does not stretch out straight enough so you have to contend with the cord curling .I find I have to empty the plastic container after each vacuuming ,and when you press the button to rewind the wire it sometime wont rewind all the way .It is quite powerful and I find a lot of the carpet fibers in the container,still for $104 it is a good buy .I had an older Panasonic with bags ,had to clean out the filter and make sure the bag wasn't full .It had started to shutdown because it overheated .I think vacuum cleaners have become a throwaway item ,no point fixing them at this price .4/21/2014An update the darn thing shut down .My wife empties it each time ,but as I took it apart I found it hopelessly clogged .I had to take the plastic enclosure down to my workbench to pull out this clear plastic insert which was jammed with fiber .After tapping with a hammer for 20 minutes it came apart spewing dust all over my clothes .I washed all the parts which come apart including the filter .I have come to the conclusion ,it is not worth the aggravation to try to save on bags .If you have allergies ,you don't want this machine .I am reducing the stars because all vacuums suck but this one sucks in other ways you might not appreciate.

Question: What do you use in the kitchen?

One of my go-to fry pans in my kitchen! I love Lodge cast iron pans and own many. I own two of this size which really come in handy on fried potatoes, bacon and egg weekends. I use a larger 13 1/2" to do the bacon. I cook so many things in these smaller cast iron pans I probably could fill the page but I won't bore people. Just figure anything you can cook in a regular stainless steel pan (which I own many of) will cook better in a well seasoned, loved and used Lodge cast iron pan! Great pans, if properly cared for, will live on long after you and I are gone!

Question: What happens if you don't properly iron linen or wool garments?

It's not that using the iron is so terribly difficult but, with garments made of linen or wool, you can often iron in such a way that a seam becomes permanently visible. The steamer allows you to get rid of creases and wrinkles without leaving collateral marks on the clothes.

Question: What was the color of the mixer?

This mixer is such a workhorse; it is always up for any amount of mixing you want to do. I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod. What impressed me the most, along with the normal mixing and whisking, is when I used the dough hooks to mix a LARGE amount of ground beef mixture that I was preparing to make a couple of meat loaves and meatballs with. It tackled it with ease.If you want a hand mixer that you will have for years and years, this is the one. I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one.

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 brand name of the more costlier coffee press?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensive <hl> Bodum Chambord <hl> coffee press over this far more affordable plastic model.

Question: What has the potential to last a long time?

I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. This is "guaranteed for life", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. Seems extremely well made and solid and comes with that stylish and effective steel and rubber bottle stopper. Will keep fingers crossed.

Question: What was made in Portugal?

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

Question: While traveling what did they consider a good item to have?

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.
