Question: What other mattress was bought?

I purchased this air mattress and the Intex Nylon Flocked Queen air mattress. I think for the pricing difference this less expensive Pillow Rest Queen air mattress is the better choice than the more expensive Flocked mattress. Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two. BEWARE that the higher profile air mattresses allow more body heat to escape than the low profile, so be sure to insulate with blankets under you as well as over you if you are sleeping in cold conditions.

Question: What is the product made of?

I am extremely familiar with the swamp/evaporative cooler theory, and have been using them here in the high desert for about 25 years. This product is only an extremely expensive fan. I filled it with cold water and ice, and after 6 hours of running time, the thermometer I inserted in the vent said that the output temp dropped one degree. Terrible, considering the claims of much more in the description. I sent it back the next day. Do not waste your money. Spend a bit more and go for a Kuulaire with an aspen pad. This one has a thin, t-shirt type material for a pad, which does not hold enough water to make a difference with the air output.

Question: How many Siamese cats live in the house?

Human hair, dog hair, pet dander and cat fluff-- this little ' sucker' gets it all. And dry cat or dog food, beans or dry cereal spilled on the floor. Laundry room, bathroom, family room, entry foyer makes no difference it gets it all. I clean the simi-soft blades that glide over the floors and outdoor rugs once a week. I take care to wash the canister and hard filter after each use and leave it to dry in the laundry room until I need it again. I also dry brush the soft filter after each use. Can't believe how easy it gets into corners and around furniture legs. Honestly it is far more than I expected. We have two Snauzers that live inside, two Siamese and a feral cat that love in to enjoy the fireplace with us on cold winter days and I am an clean-a-holic so this little 'sucker' doesn't just meet the bill-- in our house is a small miracle! (Order extra filters). Keep these good products coming Amazon.

Question: Why would you get this product?

I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere. It keeps the cereal fresh, is easy to fill and super easy for a 3, 5, 6 and 10 year old to get their cereal each morning. The quality is excelent. 4 friends who saw it at my house have already bought it. It is large, in the picture you cannot tell so much but it does ocupy some space. it also contains a full box of cereal in each canister. I read the bad reviews and have not had one problem with cereal crunching or anything of the sort, up to now I have put in cherios, fruit loops and reeses puffs, perfect performance, no complaints at all. I set it up myself and it was supert easy and fast to put together.

Question: What brand of coffee maker was bought to replace the broken one?

Bought this in 2009, have used at least 2-3 times a week, now switched to using it all the time.Works well, produces great coffee.Read the other reviews about exploding (Hope it does not happen), and leaking steam - yes, this too leaks steam, if not screwed tight. I make sure to screw it tightBut so far works well. Frothing function degrades after a whileEvery cup is well worth the low cost.Update: Dead now, replaced with a DeLonghia) The coffee pitcher broke, could not get a replacement. Found another subst.b) The frother want clogged, stopped working, couldn't clean itc) Eventually, even the coffee stopped flowing, gave up and junked the machine.Still worth the price, thought of buying a replacement, instead bought a Delonghi 2 cup m/c (Rated no 1 on Amazon). Big mistake. This is better.

Question: What kind of handles are on the knife?

I got these as a gift. I wasn't wild about the crazy colors, but as knives go, they are really good.They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized, and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. I previously had a giant wood block full or terribly dull knives. I was very glad to get these. I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. It's nice - takes up less room, and the knives actually WORK. All you need are these knives. Steak knives, you can keep in the drawer. Good gift!

Question: When do the dishes usually get nicked for the author?

For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. That was more than ten years ago. I liked it because the color (we have green) was attractive, and it wasn't too fancy for everyday use. The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked. The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs, which haven't nicked at all. Considering it's been ten years, I don't think the nicking problem is all that bad. I just have to be extra careful with the bowls. They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another.

Question: How thick is the is the frame?

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: Which product takes up more counter room?

My wife and I had been using the ZeroWater pitcher for about a year until we recently purchased this dispenser. We've always been happy with the quality of the water from the ZeroWater filter, but this dispenser is a great improvement over the pitcher, even though it takes up more counter space. It holds more water in the reservoir, and we can get water from the dispenser even when the water in the reservoir has not finished filtering into the dispenser.ZeroWater produces water that tastes good, much better than bottled water, which has a plastic taste. I can't recommend it highly enough. In fact, I bought one for each of our children, so that they and our grandchildren would be drinking clean water.For those who complain that the filters don't last long enough, the quality of the water you put into the reservoir will affect how long the filter lasts. Here in Houston, with water that reads about 215-230, a filter lasts a little longer than one month. Even though the filters cost more than other brands, the quality of water justifies the price. Here's a product for which I can honestly say, you get what you pay for.Added 8.26.11: We have now used this dispenser for several months. I've bought a second one-- to use in my office. I've replaced several filters on the original without any problems (still on the original filter in the new unit), and neither shows problems some other users have complained of. Lately water in our part of Houston seems to have gotten dirtier, but the filtered water always tastes great.

Question: What kind of socket do you need?

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. It is a very expensive piece of plastic junk.Buy American - if you can find it.

Question: How are the spring forms coated?

I ordered 2 springforms and a metal gingerbread house mold together.I received them yesterday.Unfortunately, Amazon packed all of them together in the same box without any protection to separate them.From the scratches on the springforms,I could tell how much they bumped against each other during the delivery.(springforms were naked without any bag wrapped.)Maybe bumped against the gingerbread house mold, too!(Thinking of how heavy the mold was, and it was only wrapped in its thin plastic bag.)If the springforms are stainless steel pans, then scratches are ok.Since they're NONSTICK coated, it is very important to protect the nonstick coating!I ordered many times from Amazon before, very upset at what I saw this time.I have to say I'm very disappointed at how Amazon handled and packed my order this time!!!

Question: What does th knife make on the cutting board?

Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart. Not only is it easy to clean, it's thin enough not to take up much room in storage and it's attractive enough to leave out when company is over.I've been cutting fruit on it, and yes, the knife makes marks. I've never owned a cutting board that doesn't get marred with knives. That's just how they work. Better the board gets marred than my precious knives get dull. Boards that are too hard are no good.I like this board. The only thing missing is a groove around the edge to catch drippings.This product was provided for review by Slippery Kitchen.

Question: Which product does the person think is great?

I think these pitchers are great. My reason for purchasing them was because of the airtight feature. I needed something portable to take on camping trips or picnics. They were knocked over in the ice chest filled with water from the melted ice and pretty much were not in the upright position for a couple of days, but the juice stayed fresh and nothing leaked in or out. Unlike some other reviewers, I did not have any problem with leakage while pouring. The lid needs to be in the right position for it to pour correctly, but it pretty much locks at the position it needs to be, therefore I did not have any problems with that. For the price, I think they could look a litte nicer or feel more.. expensive. But they do what they are supposed to and I think they will last through many trips.Pros: bpa free (at least that's what they claim), seals nicely so nothing leaks, rubber handle is a nice feature, locks into the correct pouring position, feels like it will last.Cons: not the easiest to clean; the sticker on it has the cheap quality glue that leaves marks behind, but eventually all the glue will come off.Overall, I would recommend these.

Question: Does the writer like strong coffee?

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

Answer: I like strong coffee

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

Question: Where does the author use the coffee makers?

We have two of these. One at home and one we use in our RV and cabin. They both work great, We like the choice of coffees and the quick service we get when orgering coffee from Amazon. We have found out that we can buy coffe at Targets and Bed, bath & Beyond, so we're never out. Maybe not the cheapist way to get your coffee fix, but far cheaper that going to starbuck's shops and the product is just as good. I like the Late's and have not notiuced a chemical taste as was noted. You do have to watch the dates on the milk containers.

Question: Why did the customer choose these specific glasses?

These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine. Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand.

Answer: based on the brand.

Question: how large is it writer's daughters room?

First off - this is a semi-disposable item. The tank is extremely thin and cheaply made and I wonder how long it will last. The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. I disinfect once a week with vinegar and otherwise replace the water in the tank daily. It's a little bit hard for my wife to align the tank properly when seating it in the base. My daughter loves the pink pig design and most importantly it does a great job of humidifying her room which is probably 14x14 or thereabouts. It's easy to change the amount of humidity. I put a little sticker on the dial so we could get the right amount each night.Update - broke after 3 months. The owl humidifier I got for my son's room made by a different manufacturer still works OK.

Answer: 14x14

Question: What is the name of the iron?

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 writer's opinion of the product?

This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy. The finishes are attractive and it was very easy to put together. I think this clothes butler would work just as well for a woman as for a man as it is also a bit taller than I expected. If you are in the market for one of these I believe you would be quite happy with this. There are many that are more expensive, and others that are all wood, etc., but this one has a charm of it's own and has quite a modern look to it. I can confidently recommend this product. A little bit about the seller - 2K Furniture Designs: There was one small 0-ring that I was missing when I received the product - and I contacted the seller and I received a prompt reply and a week later received two 0-rings. I mention this only because it is always good when a seller stands behind their product when there is a problem and 2K Furniture Designs did just that. Very impressed.

Question: What bed did the mattress buy for?

It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room.The mattress opened up and expanded in a couple of hours. They indicate that you should wait 48 hrs before sleeping on it, however after a day it looks ready to go.I am having guests for the holidays so I will provide an update early next year, however so far so good.*update*Well the holidays are over and family/guests have moved on. Everyone totally enjoyed sleeping on the mattress.While I only had people sleeping on it for a week, they were different people with different physical sizes/ages and medical issues.Again, so far so good.It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday.My wife and I are very happy with this mattress and highly recommend it.

Question: What ruins the rack?

I like the design of the rack, it takes up a small amount of space in my cupboard, but the lids just ruin this item. They are plastic. Not a medium-weight or heavy plastic like you would find on a spice jar you buy in the grocery store (example: McCormick's) but a really light-weight plastic that you would find on a cheap toy bought at the dollar store. I don't think it will be long before they start cracking. You have to be careful when screwing them on so you don't catch the threads wrong and break one. I don't feel the seal is good either.I saw another vendor on Amazon selling just the rack, think it was around fifteen dollars. If I had to do it over, I would just buy the rack, then order 18 bottles separately (Penzey's sells ones with sturdier plastic lids for less than a buck each) and I'd put this spice rack together myself for ~the same price. Also for the price of this set I really feel they should have included labels. Would not recommend.

Question: How do you open the bottles?

I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them. We have a set for milk and a set for water. The ONLY thing I wish these had is a little latch to hold the top shut. Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw). I'm guessing it's from bumping against other things in their bags??? We keep them inside gallon sized ziploc bags lined with paper towels now, after I had to replace 2 library books that ended up soaked in my son's backpack. The bags work well to contain the mess if/when they open now, but I REALLY wish there was a latch on these like there is on the bigger ones. Otherwise these are fantastic!

Question: When was the previous one purchased?

I am very excited about this vacuum. Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds.Anyway. Pretty much any vacuum would be better than that, but this vacuum works and looks better than most others I've used. Its footprint is of a reasonable size, and I appreciate how contained the components and features are. (In the past I have used cumbersome canister vacuums.) I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. The air powered turbo tool gets the stairs cleaner than they've been in recent memory.Above all, I love the HEPA filter. Ordinarily, vacuuming stirs up dust and pollen and allergens that leave me sneezing for hours. Instead of stirring things up, this vacuum actually picks them up. It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!

Question: What is one of the positives of the juiceman?

We drink a lot of juice and got the Juiceman to save a bit of money and also get a better-tasting juice.The motor is powerful - can get loud, too, but it's well worth it when you drink the results. We sometimes use the juice to make our own juice popsicles.A couple of small dings: It does take up a bit of counter real estate, and cleanup is not all that easy. But fortunately most of the parts are dishwasher safe.But it is fun to use, watching that bowlful of fruits or veggies being condensed into a taste drink. So if you want healthy juices and refreshing beverages (and even popsicles), give this powerful juicer a try.

Question: How long will the product run before it is full?

After moving from a semi-arid environment to the opposite ,I was unhappy with the odor in a musty basement...even though the house is only a few years old , the climate is a challenge to enclosed areas. A neighbor recommended this product; I also researched other sites and am very pleased that Amazon carried the model I wanted. The "to the door delivery" was a great help considering it is a bit heavy for me to lift, probably would be no problem for someone a bit stronger. Turned it on full power and ran it for 4 hours before it was full , emptied container, then turned it on again for another 4 hours. I repeated this for 3 days. That procedure has reduced the musty odor to nearly zero. I now run it on low for an hour or two each day. So far, I have no complaints after 2 weeks of use. I would recommend it to anyone w/the same problem.

Question: How long did they take to arrive?

I ordered two of these shelving units for my loft and they arrived in one week. First, the boxes were not real bulky. The sender even wrapped extra bubble wrap around them. Second, I opened each box and each piece was wrapped in clear plastic. Everything was in each box, no missing parts. Third, the easiest way to assemble them is to screw in each bar first, only half way. Then snap the shelves in place. There is only a print out of the parts...no instructions. Then, after the shelf is standing with shelves in place, start to tighten each screw...but do not tighten it so hard as to strip it. Note: The extra bars are for extra support on the backside.

Question: What is described as looking great, powerful, and heavy?

Looks great, Heavy, powerful. I have all Kitchen aid products. They look great together.The problem is with making smoothies. Frozen fruit is apparently hard to push around. It catches on the sides and jambs the blade.The blade is spun by this small black toothed gear attached to the top of the motor. It's made of a rubberized plastic type material which is molded over a metal piece. That connection will break as experienced by other users.I'll assume that that type of mixing may have not been anticipated by the engineers. All other tyes of general blending may not tax that connection as hard as frozen fruit.Therefore if you blend frozen fruit get a different mixer.I got a Waring Pro uses the same designed coupler but is replaceable for $5.

I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more. These filters are pure white, leave no paper taste, hold up well (important when you're dumping grounds) and have a nifty little finger tab that makes the filter easy to open. The best news is that 800 of them will last me more than two years before I have to find #2 filters again. They're in sealed bags of 100, and each bag has its own "zipper" seal. Two years won't be a problem, and the price is right.

Question: How does the mitts look in terms of pricing?

I ordered 2 of these mitts and I love them! They keep my hands cool and have a good grip because of the silicon strips in the mits themselves. They are well made, look very expensive, but aren't and I will order from this seller agaIn, when the mitts wear out.

Question: who ate the dehydrated liver?

I am absolutely delighted with this product! I had been using my oven to dehydrate liver for dog treats. After I gave some to a friend she mentioned that her dog liked them so well she had purchased a dehydrator to make some herself. I shopped around a little and chose this one mainly just because Ron Popeil is so successful I figured he must be selling good stuff. This little unit made beautiful dehydrated liver in half the time it took in my oven. I can't wait for summer to try it with my home-grown herbs and flowers!

Question: What claim does the item have?

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.

With this new rack, they cool much after, and I am nit worried anything is going to burn.The quality seems good, and certainly at this price point it is.I have also used this for putting a hot pan on, and it worked great. Smart idea and I can recommend.

Question: What are cheaply made?

Space bags are cheaply made, if your not careful you'll rip the seams out of them, but even if you are careful the bag will not keep air out for very long. Air like water is nearly impossible to keep out of anything that it surrounds so if your looking for "space saving" get a box of Contractor's Heavy Duty Trash Bags and fold your items placing them into the bag, gather the bag around the vacuum cleaner hose, when the air is removed tie a knot in the bag. Like the Space Bag the air will leak back into the Contractor's bag but the knot and the seams will hold, you've gained space and it cost you about a quarter.

Question: How does the product's handle feel?

We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. Not that they can't 'last' in the pan without melting - just not suggested to keep them in there.The handles feel good, have a nice 'weight', and work well. Enjoy!

Question: Who's condo tree was cleaned with this?

I also cleaned my cat condo tree with this, and though my results were not as spectatular as another reviewer, it still turned out really clean. Perhaps with consistent use it will be better. It's nice to hold onto, very comfortable, nice long electrical cord. The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used. Very easy to disassemble to empty and clean debris.I took an old mascara brush (cleaned well in soapy water to remove all remnants of mascara) and use it to brush between ripples in the filter to help clean it out more when I am doing using it. Works really well.

Question: What items are they putting on the rack?

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: What grit is recommended?

I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition. I just gave it a quick wipe down, conditioned the top and began staining the top and painting the bottom, it's looking great and the wood is a nice quality. Though if you plan to stain, not paint you'll need to give the top a little sanding with 220 grit before applying poly coat.I was so glad to find this table in 36" and with drop leaf, it's a pretty great price too in my opinion. (Though, I wish it were made in America...) it's going to be great for my breakfast nook in the kitchen.

Question: What does she have an issue with?

The Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is an attractive and nicely weighted/balanced iron. With a shiny stainless steel soleplate, ironing is smooth and quick with no drag like I've had with some of the non-stick soleplates I've used in the past. One extremely nice feature is the narrow tip (that also has steam vents), which makes getting into those difficult places like shirt cuffs, much easier.I was impressed with how quickly the iron heated up and it steams garments vertically nicely. This eliminates the need for a separate steamer and in fact, does a nicer job than my old steamer! The iron has a 30 second turn-off safety feature that activates when the iron is left on horizontally, and an 8 minute turn-off when the iron is left on vertically. This is a great feature for college students, but when sewing and pressing as one goes, this can be a bit of a pain.I do like the steam features, especially the extra holes in the tip of the iron. I can really get some nice presses on the cuffs of hubby's dress shirts. I am having some issues with sputtering and the iron leaves wet spots on my clothes while using the steam. I've been over the booklet and haven't found a solution to that problem yet. There isn't any type of steam adjustment - just a heavy full steam and this sucks up the water quickly. I found I had to keep refilling while ironing hubby's shirts. That was a pain. The fill hole is not the easiest to access and the iron has to be held at an awkward angle. Surprisingly, a fill cup was not included.I really don't care for the dial temperature setting. It's located under the handle and is not easy to see the markings. I'm also not impressed with the picture directions that came with the iron. There are a few written instructions, but I'd prefer them written out with a few illustrations.Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars.

Question: How big is 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: What price would the reviewer be happy paying for this device?

Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments.A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. Could see $50 - 60.However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.In other words a good piece of work but not quite up to my expectations based on the reviews. You won't be disappointed over the long haul, but the immediate impression is not quite as brilliant as you want it to be.

Question: What happened to the first mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.
