Question: Why feature attracted them to the product?

I have 9.5 in pie plates and they barely fit. If your pie has a lip and is bigger than 9.5 inches these may not work for you. I have these pie platesPyrex Easy Grab 9-1/2-Inch Pie Plateand because of the easy grab lip, it JUST fits. Once the pie is in this keeper, you will not be removing it until the pie is finished for there is ZERO wiggle room to grab the pie plate out.The lid is hinged and it appears like it will be a weak spot. I'm not sure if these will still latch shut once the hinge goes. Being they are not horribly expensive I won't mind if I only get a year or 2 out of the hinge.It is deep which is good for the pie plates I posted (though not advertised as such) are pretty deep. I have a lemon meringue pie in one of these right now and the lid clears the topping just fine.

Question: What is the main feature of these spoons?

In our household, we use long spoons for everything: ice cream (even out of the pint container <g>, ice-cream sodas and tall glasses, smoothies, health drinks, and, of course, iced tea. And we use them to get to the bottom of tall cat and dog food cans, tomato sauce jars . . . just about everything! Teaspoons would have us holding on by our fingertips, so we need the length.These smooth spoons have a nice feel and fit on the lip. The bowl of the spoon is shallow enough that you don't leave ice-cream or peanut butter on the spoon--it all gets into your mouth.I'm very happy with the extra long handle length--about an inch and a half longer than my other, older "iced-tea spoons". And the price is excellent.My only complaint is that they are connected tightly to a piece of cardboard by covered wire. The wire was tedious to remove. One wire was broken and will require pliers to remove it because it is wrapped tightly around the neck of the spoon. Nevertheless, I will order more.

Question: What does the poster say about the design?

This has to be the worst designed vacuum I've ever purchased! The air filter is located in the front, and is down near the floor so that when you try to vacuum on wood floors, the exhaust actually blows the dirt and pet hair away from you. It's as if you're actually CHASING the dirt! When you FINALLY 'catch' the dirt, it gets caught up in the filter which is stupidly located INSIDE the dirt canister. It's a decent-sized dirt canister, but so much of the dust gets caught up at the top and sticks in the filter so you have to clean it prematurely, and it's very difficult to clean out the pleats in the filter. I used this vacuum a couple of times, and then gave it to my local Goodwill. Maybe someone else won't mind all the negative aspects of this vacuum cleaner...

Question: Where did the little vacuum pick up everything?

I just got this today (a day earlier than expected Thanks Amazon Prime). For $20 I am completely happy with the product. I wouldn't pay much more for it. Think of this as a dirt devil on a stick. It will not replace vacuuming but it is much quicker than sweeping hardwoods. Great for daily crumbs. I hate sweeping but enjoyed using this little vacuum. The cord is adequate length. It steers and rolls easily. It is definitely light weight. It picked up everything on the hardwoods, and most of the stuff on the rug. Happy with the purchase.

Question: What object does this person keep the mat next to?

I have been using my mat for about three weeks now and am very impressed.First of all, unlike my "red" ones, this is a nice light blue - and best of all it fits my cookie sheet perfectly!This mentions several "other" ways to use a silicone liner, but as a "canner," I want to mention an area that this comes in particularly handy.First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. Then, I place the hot jars on top of it while I am filling them. This protects the jars from the cold counter and keeps the mess to a minimum.While I am processing the jars, I do a quick clean up of the mat, drying it off. When the jars are ready, I remove them. Instead of placing them on a towel (which again keeps the cold counter and hot jars from being a problem) I use the mat again and the heat is evenly spread. No problems, no jar issues.I have used it for cookies and appreciate how easily they are removed from the mat.Nice, very nice. I appreciate the complimentary mat I received in order to test it out for a review and it is used on a regular basis, both for baking and for canning.

Question: What was the main reason to select the mandolin?

Having researched numerous different mandolins for sale at Amazon, I chose this one due to a combination of factors: customer satisfaction, manufacturer reputation, and cost. My experiences (and my wallet) tell me I have made the right choice. This mandolin is not so sharp as the ceramic ones, but considering how little need I have of a mandolin, the price was definitely right over one of those. (And really, who wants an el-cheapeaux ceramic-bladed item? Not moi, to be sure!) This mandolin has dutifully sliced onions, tomatoes, ginger, daikon, etc. and is still going strong - and I love just tossing it into the dishwasher (in the 'lock' position, of course) when I'm done.

Question: Is the pan very heavy to use?

I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

Question: What color is the product?

While I love a lot of OXO products, I this this one is pretty mediocre. I don't think the design is that great and I'm not into the white color. It's also overpriced for so much plastic.The rack assembles very easily since there isn't much to it. It sits on the door top snugly thanks to the rubberized self-adjusting clamp. But I'm a bit surprised that it's not secured to the door in any other way. The back of the rack bar isn't padded, so it just slides/bangs around on the door - it would have been nice to have some rubber feet and maybe a strap that secures it to the door edges. The towels also kind of sit atop each other if they're of decent size, which doesn't help them dry effectively. This rack isn't designed to dry more than one body-sized towel; the other two towels better be hand towels. Lame.

Question: What do they like?

What a beautiful set! I just love the iconic handles on this line. The red color is very festive but since there is no specific holiday motive, it can be used year-round. You can use it as a chip 'n dip set or just as a platter and use the bowl for something else. The quality is great. I highly recommend it.

Question: What did they get from amazon?

After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan. No regrets. Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. It's fun to see when your friends come over and watch their face as the trash can opens. I've had two grown men friends sitting there playing with the trash can. That in itself is reason enough to get it. Occasionally I walk by and it opens on its own but no big deal. I don't really use the on/off button or even the open/close button. Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen!!Another great purchase from amazon!!

Question: What does the item fill according to the reviewer?

It fills a need and does it effectively -- some place bedside to pile my junk. It was fairly easy to put together (a pair of pliers helped). I'm currently in an Assisted Living facility and I find it useful. I knocked a point off the rating because although very nice from a utilitarian viewpoint it isn't an elegant piece of furniture. (It's sturdy enough to withstand someone coming in and sitting on it.)

Question: How many products did this person purchase?

I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet.I use them for baking chips (kale, yams, potato, etc), and these allow the air to circulate, which has resulted in nice, crispy chips EVERY TIME (without having to turn over half way through)!Easy to clean and durable. Really wish I got these sooner!

Question: What kind of hot beverage does the customer most often buy?

I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Eparé milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as "stable" and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

Question: What is going to be occurring more frequently in the reviewers home?

There is going to be more blending happening at my house! This blender is aces. Simple to operate, and really gets the job done well and fast. The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to.It's so simple, a high/low switch and an on/off switch. The instructions are short and simple, too. It very likely will be the last blender we'll ever need!I had given up on blenders because they were complicated and failed quickly. Too much to figure, and too easy to go wrong. So I love this one!

Question: What's on the second shelf?

First of all, this thing is freakin' awesome. My wife put it together while I did some work, she assembled all the glass shelves in to the frame. We hung it up with 6 BIG 4" wall toggle bolts. On the top shelf I house an external WD Hdd, a WDTV Live and a Actiontec HDMI WiFi Transmitter. On the second shelf I have my Dish Network 722 (fits perfectly even with all the wires coming out the back). On the bottom shelf I have an old Ken wood Stereo Receive (fits, but the front legs come off just a bit but this doesn't affect stability. The receiver measures 17"w x 14"d x 5"h.The wire maintenance was a little trick. We used a wire coat hanger and some masking tape to thread the bulky wires through the back.This unit installed is an amazing addition to your small living space, I highly recommend it!

Answer: Dish Network 722

First of all, this thing is freakin' awesome. My wife put it together while I did some work, she assembled all the glass shelves in to the frame. We hung it up with 6 BIG 4" wall toggle bolts. On the top shelf I house an external WD Hdd, a WDTV Live and a Actiontec HDMI WiFi Transmitter. <hl> On the second shelf I have my Dish Network 722 (fits perfectly even with all the wires coming out the back). <hl> On the bottom shelf I have an old Ken wood Stereo Receive (fits, but the front legs come off just a bit but this doesn't affect stability.

Question: How many toothbrushes fit in this holder?

Works as advertised. The only thing i wish it didn't have was "hang away" right smack in the middle of the front of the product. This product only comes in white but can probably be easily spray painted to match any decor shower bathroom etc wherever you put it. It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp? comfortably on one product. I bought two of these products in case I needed another one but haven't used the second one. You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes. It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. I haven't taken it off so I'm not sure what that is like but judging from what stuck it on seems to take some elbow grease to take it off but it will come off completely but that goes to show that this thing will hold some pretty heavy things and if you really wanted to I'm sure it would hold an oral b electronic toothbrush. Just follow the instructions to put it on and you are good to go. This product works great and hasn't come off or moved the slightest and i've had it for almost a year and i've cleaned my bathroom numerous times with this thing still in place and i've even scrubbed the sides of this product. there's not much build up that gets stuck around the product where i put it but i guess it depends on where you put it if gunk will build up around it but if it does like i said i've scrubbed the product and around it and it hasn't moved. Great product i would buy again

Question: How much clorox do you need in order to clean the kit?

This is a fanatic kit that offers everything you need to make beer besides the ingredients and the bottle caps.The lit offers high quality equipment for a starter kit or a beer veteran looking for an upgrade. You could easily brew two beers at once, 1 in the carboy and the other in the plastic bucket. The siphon in invaluable in the bottling of the beer and drastically reduces the sediment during bottling.Other tips for people just starting out:- I do not like the cleaner agent that comes with the kit. I think 1 cup Clorox per gallon water and then rinsing in tap water works better and does not leave an odd taste.- If you live in a warm climate and use the carboy, you should google how to make an airlock run off before brewing (this is something that happens with carboys and has nothing to do with the kit)

Question: What country does some of the subassemblies for Hoover?

The Hoover is very well made, and to my surprise, right here in the USA. Of course some subassemblies are from Mexico etc., but still, it is nice to have something US made in the household. It cleans the carpets very well, although on stains and heavily soiled areas you do have to slow down drastically, and do the shampoo/dry cycle several times. However it does get everything but very dark and old stains out perfectly well. The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched, because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue. I would highly recommend it.3/2008: Update after 2 years: The Hoover is still going strong, even after some abuse by "borrowers". This is a high quality machine, and our carpets are cleaner than they have ever been.

Question: What kind of pepper does the author use the most?

I love this satin brushed salt and pepper shaker. The idea to store the pepper shaker in the salt shaker is great. I love watching guests trying to figure it out. I do not have any problems getting enough salt out of the shaker and the pepper shaker is more for white pepper. I do use white pepper often, but only as powder. If I need black pepper I do use a pepper mill. I am trying to avoid too much salt and pepper anyway and I really do not like the automatic grab to the salt shaker. So the little wholes do work well.The salt and pepper shaker are easy to refill and also easy to clean.

Question: What was missing from the cutters?

Don't believe the videos. The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it. Also, one of the tines was missing from one of the cutters and I was nervous about more of them coming off in my food. I really wanted this to work because I have another brand that spills veg juices on my counter while spiralizing. But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.

Question: What is necessary to some?

After years of hearing how necessary a stand mixer is we took the plunge. Our hand mixer of many years was defeated by some thick cookie dough.The 5 quart bowl seems a bit small ( we have double convection ovens so double cookie batches are the norm) and, with cookie and cake dough, there seems to be a dry residue at the bottom of the bowl. It is inconvenient to stop and scrape over and over.Yesterday we used it to start pizza dough....that was terrific.This mixer is a good bread dough device but a good hand mixer is still preferred for many batters.Of course, everyone we know raves about the mixer....maybe we are missing something....or maybe they haven't used a hand mixer!Update time. As time has passed we have come to love the mixer for everything. If you like to bake...you need this mixer!

Question: What score does the reviewer give this product?

Cheap? Yes. Powerful? Enough. Quite? No. Easy to Use? Not. Durable? No. Only two out of five. It is a hassle to install the beaters... and worse is that they are held in place (somewhat) by a inner plastic ring. One of the beaters came out during use and it stripped the inner plastic ring; now it will not latch in place. You can get a durable Cuininart HM-50 for the same price (no brainer) or the Consumer Reports recommend KitchenAid Power 5 for about $10 more Do yourself a favor and look around. Not recommended

Question: What product did they use in the past?

Honestly if you have nothing nice to say well then don't....but I would be remiss not to briefly rate this product! Previously and for years I have always utilized a three way timer - I cook a lot and that's what I cook with! The last one which I'd replaced, in about 30 years, I believe, once, was through Sharper Image - no more can it be found anywhere unfortunately - believe me I've searched. In comes a present of this specific 3 way timer - since the onset and receipt of this - it has had issues - I've changed batteries each time thinking perhaps that was the issue. It seems never to want to clear on all three timers to "0" and when on often times simply begins to loudly buzz - that's right buzz. I don't think since ownership I've ever had all three timers working sincerely! Yes, perhaps I received the lemon of this little item perhaps not. I can tell you in my humble opinion it's not worth purchasing - it is a sub-par little timer - a timer that means a lot to my daily usage and I am throwing this one out without a doubt I won't even pass this on to anyone!

Question: Who wrote New Short Course in Wine?

Good beer tastes best cooled to between fifty and sixty degrees. Bad beer should be cooled until it's too cold to taste. Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can. Bad beer takes a little longer, but if you're lucky, by then you will have found something else to drink.Don't overchill good beer: it becomes hard to taste. Don't drink beer that has to be near-frozen to be palatable: it's bad for the spirit.Lynn Hoffman, author ofNew Short Course in Wine,Theand the profoundly moving,Beer and the Nature of the Universe

Question: What does the author prefer over the julienne cut of veggies and potatoes?

So after reading the reviews, I have been careful with my fingers while using this device and I'm happy to announce that I have yet to slice them off! However, please be very careful because the blade is very sharp. I prefer the thin slices of veggies and potatoes over the juilenne so I rarely use that side. I also have a problem with the lip of the holder being cut into my food. It seems that the closer I get to the blade, the more plastic it slices from the holder. I've started to just slice as low as possible with the Mandoline and slice the rest myself with a knife. Problem solved. My favorite is thin potato slices so I can make homemade potato chips.Update: So I figured out the slices of plastic problem. I had it flipped the wrong way. Just rotate it and everything will work perfectly.

Question: What do they intent to replace in their kid's rooms?

We have a house with an open floor plan, and were not yet ready to install a HEPA filter on the furnace. We bought a couple of these for smaller spaces, and a different larger purifier for the largest space. These have been great! My husband (an allergist) has recently become very allergic to the cats. By banning the cats from the bedroom (every allergist's first recommendation), and using these in the bedroom and his office, those spaces are constant "safe" zones. I am very pleased. I'm back online to purchase two more because I love what these do for the air circulation in our poorly ventilated house. The upstairs is chronically 5-10 degrees warmer than the main level, and our bedroom unit circulates the air such that our room in more comfortable than it has been in years. We are putting these in the kids rooms in place of their white noise machines (on the highest filtration setting, the "white" wind noise of these purifiers is more pleasant than the machines we use), and to improve air circulation. When I vacuum the filter, it is always filthy, but it doesn't seem to ever be overfull, the unit seems to always be effective. By having two more of these, we expect it will improve the overall air quality as well as circulation. For the price, I definitely recommend these!(BTW, for those wondering about ionizing units, the ionizing units release ozone, and the allergy community feels that even the small amount of ozone released can be more irritating to asthmatics than the allergens, and thus the latest recommendations say to avoid any purifier that releases ANY amount of ozone. My husband had us turn off our furnace air filter and remove the ionizing coils, and just replace the coils with a cardboard filter. It's hardly a perfect fix, but it is better than the ozone (we didn't realize) it was releasing before. We'll get a whole house HEPA eventually, but one step at a time...)

Question: What is between the drainer and the wall?

$20 for a dish drain is hefty no question; I mean even dollar stores sell plain dish drains. But if you, like me, have exclusively used dish drains (i.e., no dishwasher) for a long time, you'll likely appreciate the virtues of this one. It is SO nice having the water contained and not slopping all over the counter, under the drainer, etc. That alone goes a ways to offset the high price. The color red is awesome and matches nicely with other bright red accents in our kitchen. It doesn't take up much space on the counter either, although I did need to stick a piece of wood behind it, between it and the wall I mean, otherwise it sat too far back to drain properly into the sink. The Umbra Tub holds a lot, and it's awfully nice to be able to put dishes every which way. One thing, it does get kind of slimy-feeling inside so it requires regular washing but that's really no trouble. I typically use dish soap and a dish scrubber and then hose it down with the sprayer. Now and again I mix in white vinegar to really sanitize it.EDIT Oct 2013: I've had this drainer over 6 months and if I could I'd probably give it 3.5 stars because it's gotten "slimier" over time. I think that's a result of the inherent nature of plastic (as opposed to glass which doesn't ickier over time -while almost all plastic items seem to no matter how often they're cleaned.). Both the utensil cubbies and the bases of the little posts in the drain bottom get slimy and lately, collect dark crud. Eeew! What is THAT?? I'm cleaning the drain more often and it's tricky to get a hand into the tiny spaces; i.e, into the utensil compartment or inbetween and around the little posts. The overall design would be better if it had more of an incline to drain the water (EDIT 3/19: check out my photo in the Customer Image section for my new solution).

Answer: piece of wood

$20 for a dish drain is hefty no question; I mean even dollar stores sell plain dish drains. But if you, like me, have exclusively used dish drains (i.e., no dishwasher) for a long time, you'll likely appreciate the virtues of this one.

Question: How does the writer describe the product?

I have 3, 17-20 year old children, so they are harder on things because they are bigger and these glasses are the ticket. We did a kitchen remod and new glasses were in order. I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass and I like the reviews. These are very simple stylish tough glasses.. I hope they stand the test of time but that will be seen. They are thick and solid.The only beef I had wasn't really with the glass but the sticker that is put on the bottom of the glass, whew, they took a razor and goo be gone to get rid of the sticker and the glue residue.

Question: What type of beaters does this vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum on the recommendation of a major consumer product review organization; while two vacuums had higher ratings, this one cost about half as much. For the most part, I am glad I did not spend the extra money.First and foremost, it has adequate power for the job and the rotary beaters are efficient. I had used an old Hoover for over 12 years and thought I was getting my carpet clean, I was deluded. The difference in the looks of the carpet was immediately apparent. The Eureka was far more effective. Secondly, it is clean. It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate. There was no fine dust in the air or dust smell. The accessories mount on the body of the vacuum, but while convenient they are not completely secured. The brush falls off occasionally. It is very easy to shift from floor cleaning to the hose attachments; you simply turn the handle of a valve on the upper body of the vacuum. The extensions are long enough to reach an 11 ft ceiling. Shifting to different carpet pile heights is also easy and convenient.The consumer organization gave two reasons for not giving this vacuum a top rating. First they said it was not the as easy to maneuver as it might be. This is true; other vacuums are easier to shove about and this one is not power assisted. They also dinged it for being noisier than the two more expensive vacuums. While this is probably true, after the ol' Hoover I was delighted at how quite it was. Also making it quieter would affect the price. The plastic of the body could be a bit more rugged but again this would increase the price. My home is small; if you really spend a lot of time behind a vacuum, you probably want to spend a bit more. This lack of rugged construction probably explains the huge variability in the product reviews. Caveat emptor - the instructions advise calling Eureka customer service and NOT taking the machine back to the place where you purchased it if it is defective. This could be a problem. And - some assembly required.All-in-all, good vacuum, value for money.

Question: How must one grip the jar sealer to get it to work?

I have only played with this product, but I can get it to vacuum and stay sealed. You just have to hold the jar sealer firmly on the jar. I did not use two lids, wash or heat the lid or jar. The first time I tried it it did not work and I thought I should have listened to the bad reviews, the second time I just held the sealer on the jar firmly and it sealed like it should. No problems. I am going to enjoy these. I have the wide mouthed one too and I believe they will pay for themselves in no time. A tip for both sealers. Take a push pin or thumb tack and poke a hole in your lid. Cover the hole with a piece of tape( I used a bit of duct tape) then seal your jar. When you get ready to unseal the jar just pull the tape back and let the air in. You don't have to pry the lid off. To reseal just fold the tape back over the hole.

Question: What was the mold sprayed with?

I'm an inveterate amateur baker, so I was thrilled to find these, and looking forward to making batches of nano-brownies and micro-spaniards. Unfortunately, while this mold may be suitable for cold-molding, I can't consider it suitable for baking.Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell. After washing the molds by hand, and then in the dishwasher, the smell was much stronger, to the point of being offensive (I used the sanitize cycle, which does heat stuff up).After airing out overnite, the smell had faded, so I decided to test to see if would transfer to food baked in the molds - I mixed egg whites with an equivalent amount of milk (an extremely scent-neutral mixture), and baked it in the molds at 350 for 20 minutes (I should have done that for only ten, to avoid any Maillard reaction). I also sprayed half the mold with cooking spray and left half ungreased, to see if this would make a difference.After baking, the smell (and taste) was very noticeable in the custards from the greased half of the mold, and slightly noticeable in the souffles from the ungreased half.I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to odors and odd chemistry, so YMMV. But I will not be using these in my kitchen.

Question: Besides the anchors what other items comes with this item?

While this does make a very nice key rack, that's not what I got it for. I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well. It does! It was easy to install. It comes with screws and anchors, and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. I like the simple style, and the silver finish adds a touch of elegance. I'm sure this would also work well to hold keys, but I like it as an accessory organizer, too.

Question: The customer complained that the cfarage was not easy to do what?

This coffee maker does a good job of brewing a fine tasting cup of coffee.The controls are simple and easy to read.It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours.Our last Krups machine was easier to add both water and grounds. The one piece access cover to both coffee grounds and water addition make it somewhat clumsy to do a fast clean job.There is a tiny little target to add water and the top gets in the way of draining the carafe into the water reservoir.I don't care for cleaning the stainless lid much either but I'm retired and lazy as the day is long! The carafe is not so easy to empty the last drop out of either. It did not meet our expectations and I would not purchase it again.I hope Krups comes out with a better design by the time we need to buy another.

Question: how many stars did the writer give the product?

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible. My next problem is with the key magnet. The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. If you have any extra doodads or more keys, it probably won't be able to hold it and the magnet usually just pops right out along with your keys. This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.

Question: What is the author mounting besides a center channel?

I purchased a 30 lbs Energy Center Channel for a home theater and this is fantatsic way to be creative and use a large moutning system well bulit to hold up not just a receiver but also a center channel. The Eneregy speaker is over 21 inches wide and this system is heavy duty enough to gold it up. It looks great and the best part is I can come away from the wall to give the woffer ports plenty of space to breath, rather than push against the wall. I highly recomend for moutning large products that are wider than 20 inches and deeper than 10 inches. Awesome quality product that looks great! So pleased
