Question: What was the brand of their old vacuum?

I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart). I never realized how much dirt my old Eureka was leaving behind. My living room is 14 X 20. I had to empty that canister a dozen times. It kept filling up with cat hair (from a cat that died 12 years ago), sand, grit, dirt, dust and only God knows what else. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. It was scary. That filth has been hiding in my medium-pile carpet for over a decade. Vacuuming twice a week with a Eureka never touched it.There are no bags to buy. No filters of any kind to purchase. Just remove the canister and empty it into the waste bin. That's it. All the filters are washable too.The retracting cord is fabulous. This cleaner maneuvers easily. It's probably as noisy as any other vacuum cleaner, but who cares when it cleans so well. The carpet height feature is nice too. Some cleaners actually feel cheap. This one doesn't. You can tell it's quality stuff upon removing it from the box. There's not a lot of assembly either. All I had to do was screw in the handle. The canister empties easily too, just by pushing a button. The attachment hose is ready to use without having to attach it to anything. Just pull it out of it's holder and start dusting.I love this machine. I'd give it ten stars if I could.Many reviewers are complaining about an "extremely short attachment hose". I wonder if they're pushing it out of its holder before using it? Once it is freed it's good for corners and edges of the carpet, but still a short for other things...like stairs.

Question: How is the cost?

These dishtowels are beautiful, soft, absorbent and a very good size. I washed them in in warm water and dried them on hot, and they did not shrink (as far as I can tell - I didn't measure them before washing). I like the colors (pink and yellow on a light tan background) and the design (they remind me of Japanese prints). I can't say why, but they make me happy. The price is also terrific - I'm sorry that I also bought another set of three more expensive dish towels, which are fine, but nothing special. I like these so much more, and now I can't justify buying another 3-pack for a while. Then again, maybe i will anyway.

Question: What will muffle the loud volume?

I needed a loud kitchen alarm that I can hear from another room. I liked that this model is capable of doing many hours too (which can be good for 24 hour fermenting on yogurt) or a several hours on a roast/turkey.The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. It is still very loud, but less loud when magnetized to the wall. I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way.I love this company. They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome. If you ever have issues with your product they are amazingly helpful.

Question: How is the tap water in NYC?

I live in NYC where the tap water is already above standards. Therefore, i don't need a reverse-osmosis or serious filtration system as if i were living in Southern Cal (where the calcification is ridiculous), or other city with subpar water municipalities. I use a Brita filter simply to remove chlorine taste, but i was fed up with the pricey filter cost. Ecopure is much cheaper, and does the job just as well -- without annoying charcoal particles or slow filtration. I'd say the Ecopure filters about 40-50% faster than Brita, a detail that may seem unimportant but guess what? I don't spend as much time standing in front of the sink waiting to fill up a pitcher.

Question: What works beautifully on this product?

I think the best thing about the American Innovative Portable Dual-Timer is the batteries! We have a total of 3 kitchen timers lurking in a drawer waiting for those flat round batteries that we never remember to buy! This nifty timer takes two AAA batteries. We always have that size around as our remotes require the same. I had a challenge opening the door to insert the included batteries: "use fingernail(some force required)". Don't use your fingernail, carefully use the tip of a knife, as I did! The other "tool" required is an open paperclip, used to press the very tiny button in order to set the Clock, a simple and easy procedure. Once all that was accomplished, on to playing with the other features of the timer....the Dual(2) Countdown timers work beautifully, either with buzzer, or the vibration mode. The screen is large and shows what is happening. Haven't used Stopwatch or the Keypad Lock yet, no reason, but figure it will be fine. The unit has a sturdy belt clip if you need to move around, and the strong magnet will rest snugly on a metal surface for easy access. I did not see any OFF button(to save battery life), and usually have it set on the Clock when not in use! Hopefully, I did not miss something. Anyway, it is a great little multi-talented Timer!

Question: What was the author worried wouldn't be away from the hole?

I've had no problems using the bowl in the microwave (so far) except that it is hard to handle. Sides are straight up so it's hard to get a grasp on it. I have to use "super-grippy" potholders to pick this up. Looking through the reviews here, apparently I'm the only one who's had this concern - weirdly. Previously I'd remarked that vent tab doesn't stand away from the hole, but it does; you can even rotate it away.

Question: How long was assembly?

I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes, super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.I would totally recommend this desk to a friend who wanted an inexpensive, very attractive desk without all the bells and whistles that tend to take up more space...A very nice buy overall

Question: How long longer does the user need the product to last to justify it's cost?

This is comfortable - the kind of step-on-it-with-barefeet-and-notice comfortable.About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store. It was nice. Then the GelPro came, and there actually was a large difference.It has been 2 weeks of using both in the kitchen,and I like the GelPro more. I am still debating if I like it the full it-costs-4-times-as-much more, but the very fact that I can't make up my mind (factoring in that cost) tells me how very good the GelPro is.It seems to be well made - I haven't found any flaws - and that ooohhh comfort I feel every time hasn't diminished. If I can still say so in 6 months, then I would have to say the higher cost was justified. If you can afford the difference, then get it.

Question: How much does the bed cost?

We have friends that sometimes will have a few too many and end up staying the night at our place with some frequency. The bed in our guestroom isn't the most comfortable (so we've been told by family and our friends). I saw this on sale and thought it'd be a good purchase, and it has been. We've had three separate comments since the switch about how comfortable it is to sleep on our guest bed. I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed.I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away. Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life.

Question: What stopped working after the first use?

I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself. Now this is how it should have been made to begin with. The replacement probes were genuine Polder products. Even with the added expense of the better probes I still plan on keeping this unit for a very long time.

Question: What does the fabric of the curtain consist of?

The beige textured background that mimics rice paper along with a plethora of butterflies and dragonflies amongst tall grass make The Lorraine Home Fashions Enchantment Shower Curtain very pretty! The neutral tones in the design certainly can fit the bathroom appeal of many. You can really base an entire theme off of just the curtain. For example, you could use ecru towels to softly blend or chose a more standout out color from the curtain to add appeal to your bathroom.This is your standard size curtain that measures 70-inch x 72-inch. It's fabric contest is PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) which is free from chlorine, pvc, and its biodegradable. The material is basically chemical free, non-toxic, and safer for the environment. The holes are sized accordingly and it was easy to hang up. The creases from it being packaged went away after several showers. If I need it to be cleaned, I can do so with a damp cloth. The shower curtain isn't see-through at all.It's holding up well so far and in my opinion a good substitute to more expensive options such as the fabric types out there. Overall, it's a good price, nice design and I would recommend it. If this design isn't for you, note that the company offers many other nice designs.

Question: What are they recommending to a friend?

I've used this product for several weeks. It does a good job and I've not experienced the problem others have described ie the motor shutting down for a 'mandatory' cooling off period. That said, the 'static-free' glass container is a bit of a laugh. I've ground several different types of Arabica beans and there is virtually always static cling and it's always a bit messy. On the other hand, a little mess often goes with preparing something from 'scratch', so it doesn't really bother me - just don't expect the manufacturer's 'no-static' claim to be much more than marketing hype. Bottom line: I like this grinder and I'd recommend it to a friend.

I'm not a cook. I don't plan out my meals days in advance or even hours in advance. My kids are hungry, I look in the fridge and make them something quick and easy before they get too irritable. I have a rice cooker, but never use it because it takes too long and I don't enjoy the clean up. For rice, I've been using the Trader Joe's precooked rice that takes 3 minutes in the microwave. Now, that's quick and easy. The problem is that the packets aren't enough. The Sistema rice steamer is the solution. Quick and easy. 1 minute of prep - measure out the rice, rinse, add water. 12 minutes of microwave time. 3 minutes of resting and the rice is perfect!!! Everytime. Enjoy and then into the dishwasher. Quick and easy.

Question: What brand was their previous vacuum?

Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell. All I can say is I was AMAZED at what this machine pulled out of my carpets. Now, granted the fact that my Kenmore died about a month ago and I have been just getting by with an old Hoover Canister; however, this thing would suck the kernels off an ear of corn. Fantastic power & relatively quiet for all it does. Yes, be prepared to empty the collection canister frequently, but just looking in it will give you an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It may also convince you that you are not going to make the cover of Good Housekeeping. Does a number on pet hair and my carpets almost look like they were shampooed. The Red/Green light is actually a cool gadget and pretty effective. I assume that my next pass around the house will not yield the same amount of dirt now that I am in "Green Light" status.Bottom-line: You cannot beat the quality & performance of this vacuum for this price.

Question: What do they prefer?

This is a great pan! I have long preferred silicone bakeware to traditional metal because of easy release of baked goods and quick cleanup, but this was my first foray into whimsically moulded silicone pans. I had some concerns that the pan wouldn't release the cakes from the crevices (petals), but everything turned out perfectly! I am glad I bought the Freshware brand, as the pan is of very good quality (and I know my silicone bakeware), but was of the lowest price for this type of design (rose).Follow the instructions to oil the pans before first use, and you won't have any sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing.However, I do have one word of advice - and this is true for all moulded bakeware, not only silicone. Please use denser, sturdier batters. Liquidy cake batters bake too tender and crumbly to survive unmoulding, and it won't be the pan's fault if your baked goods break and crumble.

Question: What should you do to this coffee maker before you use it?

Mr. Coffee has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. Anyway, I've given this maker a good run creating all sorts of coffees. I've tried different grinds and types of beans, all with excellent results. The unit itself is primarily plastic but everything fits nicely. I have only one concern with the obvious connection made between the main unit and the milk frother. It is a bit tough pushing it in and later removing it. Only time will tell how well it really is. However the coffees you create using this maker is as good, if not better than what you can get out. Take your time to learn it, care for it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I had originally put this on my Amazon Wishlist and was surprised when I received it as a Christmas present. I had it up and running the day after Christmas and have been happy ever since. One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !!

Question: How long was the water in the hot car?

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

Question: What about the humidifier is nonexistent?

I was skeptical at first when reading the description but decided to try it out anyways. Let me tell you, it is the smallest and lightest travel humidifier i have ever seen and used. It works like a charm when you are traveling and it sits right next to you on the nightstand in the hotel. Extremely quiet and light, and the footprint of the humidifier is almost nonexistent. However, there is only one small problem, but it can be expected because of it's size and weight. You must be careful not to bump it because it can tip over easily and spill out the water all over the place. Other than that it is perfect and works very well for it's stated purpose.

Question: How long have you been using OXO Pop Canisters?

I've been using OXO Pop Canisters for quite a while. I store anything and everything in them; sugar, flour, rice, nuts, pasta, coffee, tea bags and my favoriteBelly Flops. The canisters are easy to clean since they are dishwasher safe, easy to use (especially one handed), they keep items fresh and they come in several assorted sizes in both round, rectangle and square shapes. I do have to admit that at first I was turned off by the pricing so I originally bought a single canister, but then.....I was hooked. These are a great purchase if you are looking to organize more and they would also make a great holiday or housewarming gift.

Question: What is one of the best features?

We live in the so called "boonies" and have well water. I have installed water filters for drinking under our sink in our fridge etc....they just dont cut it.

Question: What was a perfect addition to the Natalie's classroom?

I absolutely adored the Bodum Bistro Large Electric Water Kettle! It was the perfect addition to my classroom, especially with winter coming on. However, there is just a slight problem. If not watched closely, the pot tends to get overheated and smells like it is going to melt. Which in turn, makes it unsafe to use.The water boiled quickly and efficiently. My only problem was the fact that this product gets so hot that I am afraid of it melting or burning something down.The company in my opinion needs to safety test this product a bit more closely.Natalie S. for Amazon Vine

Question: What is the noise level generated by the product?

I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. They are heavy little units but work exceptionally well for back-up heat or when you don't want to run the central unit. Whisper quiet, they are able to heat an average size room to the point of discomfort within a short period of time. Great price, solid construction, durable and quiet. Totally pleased by this purchase...just keep in mind, we are in the sunshine state so heat isn't as burdened as it would be up north.

Question: How many more grinders did the customer order?

I read all the reviews before I purchased this but decided to try it anyway since I was throwing out herbs that would not last more than a day or so. I expected it to be difficult to assemble and disassemble. I understood that once herbs were placed in it, it needed to be frozen before use. So, I thought I really had realistic expectations. When it arrived, I was pleased that assembly and dis-assembly was much easier than I expected. I read and followed directions and it was really pretty easy. I had just purchased fresh basil a day earlier so I placed it in the grinder and placed grinder in the freezer. The directions only have one small note about it working once herbs are frozen in it. However, the box it comes in clearly indicates it as a frozen herb grinder. I used the basil again a few days later...just ground what I needed from the mill and popped it back in the freezer for the next time. It was fast, easy and perfect. The herbs thaw almost instantly once ground and exposed to air or heat of food. They looked fresh, tasted fresh and smelled fresh. This was total perfection for me. I love this mill and have just ordered 2 more. Total thumbs up for me.

Question: What kind of metal is the pan made out of?

For time and convenience, I wanted to experiment with slow rise, no knead bread (See Mark Bittman's column at the New York Times). This and similar recipes call for preheating the pan and baking temps of 450-500 degrees, which is hotter than most pans are warrantied for (including enameled cast iron). It's a heavier gauge stainless steel than I'm used to seeing, solid and substantial in feel, but much lighter than cast iron (a real plus for me). And equally good, it is built for temperatures up to 500 degrees.This pan worked perfectly for the bread, which popped out as easily as if it had a no-stick coating (which it doesn't!). And because of its height, it creates a taller rather than a flatter loaf, which I like as well. I'm online now to buy another one so I can bake double batches. This is proving to be a wonderful investment!

Question: What is cheaper than the Lodge, but not much?

I cook almost entirely with cast iron. Most of my pans and dutch ovens are Lodge and I've been very happy with them. The T-fal is cheaper, but not by much. For $26, this pan is surprisingly underwhelming.Like others have mentioned, the finish isn't very smooth, compared to Lodge. This isn't too big a deal because over time it will get there with regular use. But for most people, we like to have the smooth finish from the start and save ourselves the frustration of seasoning over years of cooking.I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. They work okay on a gas range, but for the most part they seem to be far too large for day-to-day cooking. A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners.This isn't terrible. It's cast iron, and it does it's work fine. I've decided this will be my camping skillet and leave the Lodge for cooking at home. It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't have quite the same finesse as the Lodge pans.

Question: How good is this rug at soaking up water?

This rug started out in my bathroom and I absolutely loved it. Then my daughter stole it for her bathroom and left a similar colored one in its place and that helped me realize how different this rug was. Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent. We do hang it up to dry when it is wet and it drys very quickly unlike the similar replacement. I have since taken my rug back and my daughter is waiting for them to be in stock again on Amazon to order her own. We are very pleased with this product.

Then my daughter stole it for her bathroom and left a similar colored one in its place and that helped me realize how different this rug was. Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and <hl> very absorbent <hl>. We do hang it up to dry when it is wet and it drys very quickly unlike the similar replacement.

Question: What is the fabulously sharp knife?

I have tons of Wusthof knives, they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past.I don't know how I lived without this fabulously sharp knife. I use it for almost all my slicing and chopping now. My housekeeper and I fight over this knife.I bought the hollow edge for thin slicing and it works perfectly, especially on tomatoes and onions, which I have to chop in a tiny yet precise dice for salsas.I sharpen this knife with my chef's choice sharpener and have seen no damage to the egde or hollows.

Question: How thick is the cord?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Question: Why is the reviewer unable to use fine coffee?

I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . It is clever design and the cleaning process is simple and quick .. no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure ..

Question: What kind of look did the tv stand have?

I love this TV stand. It looks great in my living room with my black leather furniture and my black curtain panels. It has a very modern, sleek look that I find very appealing. This thing was a beast to put together though. There were A LOT of pieces in the box. The assembly instructions are pictures. While I usually prefer this option, there were a couple of photos that required some studying. My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. Even though the assembly was quite a bit of work, I think the finished product was worth it.

Question: what looks smaller than the author has

The ZOJIRUSHI TUFF MUG looks smaller than the one I have, that's about [...] and has a handle, but it actually holds the same amount of liquid (about 2-cups or 16-ounces filled to the brim with no ice).It's about 6 3/4" tall, with the lid on, and the lid has a small compartment for herbs, tea or sugar.The only thing I don't like is the lip of the mug has no cover like my old one does. It's just metal or whatever that metallic outer shell is made of and I just have to get used to it.But it does keep drinks colder/hotter than a regular cup. I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was.

Question: What did the author use in the brewer?

My husband and I bought a Keurig last month. We were really excited to buy a single cup brewer but I wasn't too thrilled with having to buy K-cups, I don't mind it, there are quite a few I like but they do not have K-cups in my coffee of choice. We knew of the reusable K-cups since we know a few people who own keurigs but I didn't want to go with a copy cat brand, I wanted it to be keurig brand. We purchase the my k-cup and I experimented with coffee and with tea. On my first try I got a perfect cup of coffee. I was impressed! I'm happy that it also works with tea, I just removed the tea from a tea bag, put it in the my k-cup and brewed and presto! a perfect cup of tea! I would definitely recommend the my K-cup to any Keurig owner.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What is the product name?

Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. I generally use one grind size so I'm not doing a lot of shifting between sizes so cannot speak to haow well the grinder holds up to constant grind adjusts.Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). A very well-designed product.Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud, but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size. Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind.

Question: What is an unconventional use for the product?

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

Question: How many washclothes did the author recceive?

Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. Would re-order if ever needed to, but these are PLENTY and just right for thickness---NOT TOO thick. NOT irregulars....retain shape. No signs after first wash of falling apart. If washcloths ever go bad, will do review update & re-rate stars. I recommend as better than the average washcloth, as very usable for different things and at various locations. Shower-1, Wash basin for face-1, Dry basin & counter-1, Kitchen sink for dishes-1, Dry sink & counter-1 General cleaning of areas-1. Nice for gift. My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11, not 10). No shrinkage. Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too much water/suds, although look great just to show them off, and fluff gives poor scrubbing. Buy, as good price. YES, ribbon nice touch. Exactly right for me.

Question: Is the nightstand stable?

Seriously I shopped around for night stands that would look great in our room and wouldn't break my pockets. I bought two of these stands and received them yesterday. I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it. When putting this stand together do NOT tighten the screws until all the outside pieces are on because if you do the last piece (front one) will not fit. It took forever to try and figure out the issue. While you are screwing in the screws someone else will have to hold the rest of the stand so it doesn't keep falling apart (because the screws weren't tight). This product looks good when its done, but it should have been easier to put together. OH not to mention one of the stands are wobbly; like what is going on! I shop on Amazon faithfully and I am very disappointed.
