Question: What size were they looking for?

It was oddly difficult to find one of these in a physical store - I looked at Walmart and at Bed Bath and Beyond but I couldn't find a big one. We use this one to dry cloth diapers inside or to dry delicates. There's a lot of space and it folds easily if you want to tuck it away. It's also pretty lightweight considering it's size.

Question: What is the review about?

Pros: 1. This thing does a very good job of producing an even fine grind.2. Its cheap and portable. Great for camping.Cons: 1. It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. If you use it at the office, people will think you're a dork and the noise will annoy them.3. Further evidence that you're a cheap SOB. Don't break this thing out on a first date.This does what it does perfectly, but for making several cups of coffee at a time, consider a good electric burr grinder. You can get one that works fine for about $80. I did, and this thing went in my kitchen camping box.

Question: What cord feature do we like about the vacuum?

I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

Question: What is this product and the other product the reviewer owns part of?

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it is a little better quality than the ones I own that were sold under a different brand name - Mrs. Anderson's. I would have expected them to be the same since both are products of "Harold Imports". But the zipper on this Harold's Pie Crust Maker is a better quality and is sewn in more neatly, making a perfect circle (as compared to the sloppy, irregular circle on my Mrs. Anderson's). Also, the plastic seems to be a slightly heavier gauge than mine. The plastic is also very clear (as compared to the cloudier plastic of mine), but it's possible that is because this is brand new and mine is several years old.

Question: What was the brand of toaster oven owned for 15 years?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: What color did the author buy?

I'm on my second Joey after the first [yes, plastic] pump deteriorated, but that was after 3 and 1/2 years. That's not an especially laudable longevity, but I otherwise like the Joey so much that I got another one anyway. (The whole Joey: ridiculously, there's no Umbra replacement pump part. A substitution, however, could probably have been found.) Yes it's rather big - the base is 4" front-to-back and 3" side-to-side - but I could not find another dispenser that also holds the sponge, a convenience I now require. It does fit on the corner of the lip of my sink just fine. The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss). But it holds one sponge or Dobie reasonably well. Don't expect any more than that. The dispenser holds a lot of soap/detergent, so you rarely have to refill it. I bought mine in white, through Amazon.

Question: How many rooms did it take to fill the canister the first time?

I purchased this vacuum based on the positive reviews here on Amazon. Our old vacuum still technically worked, but I felt like it wasn't picking up like it should be. We recently moved in to our home (about 5 weeks ago). Before we moved in I rented an industrial carpet cleaner and shampooed all of our carpeted rooms and since then have been regularly vacuuming. When we got our new Bissell, we vacuumed one room and ONE room filled the canister. We couldn't believe our eyes! We have three dogs and I knew our old vacuum wasn't working that well, but I had no idea the dirt and dust that was being left behind. This vacuum is amazing and it's a great price too. Lightweight, easy to use, convenient dumping of canister, no filters or bags to replace. LOVE IT! BUY ONE!

Question: How quickly did the iron shut itself off?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Answer: about 3 minutes

Question: What do they think of the Funtainer 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: What kept coming loose on the pots?

This set of cookware was great when I first started using it. It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. After using it for a year, my opinion is beginning to change. The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. The non-stick bottom, although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles. The bottoms tend to get burn marks that you can't scrub off even with some serious elbow grease. I think when you buy these, you are buying the name. You could probably get a similar item for much less money at your local superstore. Not thrilled.

Question: What is the ground beef and onions cooked for?

I have had the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan for a couple of months now, and received the matching lid about a month ago. Prior to having the lid, I was using the pan for scrambled eggs, omelets, and other cooking that I didn't need a lid for. When cooking chops, and putting it in the oven, I had to cover it with aluminum foil.Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie. I also use the pan for making my favorite dish, which is an Indian curry.The lid is tempered glass, and has a really neat vent area, for allowing the steam to come out. It is silver in color, the same as the rim of the lid, and has a hole in the middle, with 4 smaller ones around the outside of it. The lid fits perfecting into the Green Earth Frying Pan.Now when I am cooking my pork chops, I can sear then in the pan, and transfer the pan, and lid, into the oven. As long as I keep the temperature down to 392 F or below, it is ovenproof. I normally cook my chops at 325 F.When using the lid, the black handle/knob, which is on the top, stays cool, making for easy cooking.I can watch my food cooking through the clear glass lid. Before I would have to check my food, by taking off the lid, to ensure it didn't run dry.I always wash my pots and pans by hand. However, this lid is suitable to go into the dishwasher.I was sent the 8" Green Earth Frying Pan Lid, by Ozeri for my personal use. I was under no contract, or obligation to write a review, or to write a favorable one if I chose to write one.

Question: What was the size of the pumpkin pie?

I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain.I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. It does come with a 9 inch plate, but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly.What a relief to not have to worry about the pie sliding off the car seat as I make my way up and down this twisting, turning, pot holed dirt road!

Question: What should you use to clean the machine?

I've been using the Breville daily for over four years,multiple cups a day. It's a solid machine and the coffee is excellent *IF* you follow a few simple steps. It's not going to keep pumping water if you don't descale or clean out the needle head. It's really common sense, water and coffee grinds are bound to clog things up now and again. The descaling process is a little more than a simple brew cycle with vinegar. The vinegar/water mix needs a few hours "in the pipes' so overnight is ideal. Referring to the instructions is always an excellent first step.Recently though, I did notice the machine groaning and struggling to pump the water and make the coffee I had come to really love. A brilliant reviewer suggested a shot of compressed air but I used my steam machine (all I had handy) to clean and flush out the water lines and needle head. A few minutes later and I could see the water level drop in the tank like it did when it was brand new and it quietly made me another cup of perfect coffee. Between you and me, I think I heard it whisper "thank you."

It's really common sense, water and coffee grinds are bound to clog things up now and again. <hl> The descaling process is a little more than a simple brew cycle with vinegar . <hl> The vinegar/water mix needs a few hours "in the pipes' so overnight is ideal. Referring to the instructions is always an excellent first step. Recently though, I did notice the machine groaning and struggling to pump the water and make the coffee I had come to really love. A brilliant reviewer suggested a shot of compressed air but I used my steam machine (all I had handy) to clean and flush out the water lines and needle head. A few minutes later and I could see the water level drop in the tank like it did when it was brand new and it quietly made me another cup of perfect coffee. Between you and me, I think I heard it whisper "thank you."

Question: What is the brand name of the bowls that were bought?

Like many others, I bought two of these bowls to use as cat dishes for wet food! It was pretty funny when I found out that others bought them for the same purpose. I picked this style because the bowls are fairly small, but quite shallow so they're easy for the cats to out from without mussing their whiskers. My mother-in-law was very amused that I bought Fiesta dishes for my cats, but these bowls cost the same as the pet dishes at the pet store and are sturdier, so why not? The bowl is a great size for a 3 oz can of food, but will hold more than that just fine if your cat needs more per meal.Cat purposes aside, these are very nice bowls. I haven't used them personally (using the same dishes as the cats skeeves me out, which is why they have their own to begin with), but they look like they'd be great for small appetizers like bowls of salsa or almonds, side dishes of coleslaw, applesauce, or yogurt, or ice cream. I'll probably buy some more for us humans at some point.

Question: how is the product cleaned?

I am a garlic lover and I love this garlic press. I grow garlic and use garlic daily in cooking. The garlic comes out very finely crushed. This press is made of very sturdy, solid stainless steel, It is very easy to use, easy to hold, and easy to squeeze, I don’t know why some of the other reviewers had trouble, maybe their garlic was very hard, but ripe, unpeeled garlic presses just fine for me. I have drawer full of garlic gadgets and this one is the easiest to use. It is much sturdier and stronger, not flimsy as most are. It works well on both small and large cloves. Cleaning is easy, once the garlic remnants dry in the press, just brush it out with your finger or a spatula. Does not even need washing! I was sent a sample unit in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Answer: brush it out with your finger or a spatula
