Question: what size bottles do they hold?

These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. This was it! They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

Question: How many stars did they give the product?

I bought this because of the price. It was one of the cheapest ones available on amazon. It feels like a very durable plastic and it's built well. I don't know if its BPA-free. I really wish it is, but in the packaging it doesn't say it.There is a little dip in the middle where it meets the handle, so if I am microwaving a food that is slightly tall in the middle, it would definitely touch. I give it 3 stars because it works really well, gets the job done, and price is good, but noticed a couple of splatters when I was microwaving tomato-based sauces. Also this thing condenses like crazy, water would be dripping from the sides. It gets the job done, for basic microwaving tasks. But I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: What vaccum have they owned for many years?

I have owned my Dyson DC15 Animal for many years now and it still works perfectly. I have "2" pugs who shed a LOT and this vacuum handles them guys and more. It is easy to operate and actually "fun" to use. Previously with my old Orek (before they had the HEPA filter) my house would smell like "dog". As you use the Dyson, the air it sucks in actually comes out cleaner than before it went in. No more dog smell. The key to this vacuum is maintaining it. Don't wait until it fills to the top with dirt. Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds. I use the brush attachment tool that comes with the vacuum to brush off the inside of the vacuum outdoors every couple of empty-ings. Once or twice a year you take out the heppa sponge and wash it in soap and water. (be sure to thoroughly dry). Best vacuum ever owned. As a MAN, I appreciate how easy this vacuum is to keep running and my wife agrees it is the best vacuum she has ever used. We are in our 50's so we have owned a few vacuums in our time. amazon had the best price at the time and I like their easy return policy. Nice job Amazon.

Question: Which part was particularly noisy?

This is a good product. Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. The company remedied the problem by having these devices re-manufactured with a different fan (I don't mean they repaired the one I sent them - I mean all their future devices were manufactured with a better fan). So they mailed me a new one at their own expense and it's been working great ever since - no noisy fan ever again. I was also pleased with their customer service - actually got a very nice, real live,courteous, friendly person on the phone who bent over backwards to be helpful. So I'm completely satisfied with this purchase and it continues to be a great little workhorse. I have one in the bathroom and one in the laundry room.

Question: Does the writer want to get more of these trays?

This is a highly-overrated concept. I wouldn't buy more of them. The cubes do not seem to last longer at all and they are not so easily extracted from the rubber tray. I prefer my old time trays which keep the drinks just a cold as the larger cubes. Save your money ....

Question: In what room of the house did the cat make a mess?

This cleaner is very light weight. I suppose that might be an advantage if you have to schlep it up and down stairs, but it also tells me that it's mostly made of plastic, and that it's probably not all that durable. I used it on my bedroom carpet, and it cleaned up new messes (cat barf) admirably. It didn't do as well on the old dog pee stains (yes, I need to replace my bedroom carpet), but it improved them.It was easy to assemble and use, which is good, because mine did not come with an instruction manual. I'm still not sure I mixed the cleaning solution correctly.I didn't try the attachments.

Question: How long does it take to cook a sandwich?

No more messy frying pans to make my ham and cheese grilled sandwiches. It is first and a excellent sandwich maker, but it can be used for other things, like frying bacon, warming sausage paddies, grilling hot dogs and making toast. Simple to use, plug in, when the second light turns green, put in what your cooking close the lid and in two to three minutes, your finished. Not only is it fast, hot and small, the best thing is clean up. Wipe it down with a paper towel and let it cool and put it away. I have been using it almost daily, fix my English muffin in the morning and make sandwiches for lunch, and sometimes I use it for fixing a evening meal. For the price, it just can't be beat, I compare it to my microwave as the two items all kitchens need. On a scale of one to ten, it is a 20.

Question: What pot is this?

This French press pot works well, and is more attractive than many. The feet keeps the hot glass above the surface of the table or counter. The pot is also very sturdy and well-balanced, and does not feel unstable when the plunger is pressed. The seal around the edge of the plunger is tight, and the mesh is very fine, so I have not had any trouble with grounds ending up in the cup.I like this pot very much. Getting a great cup of coffee with a French press is a matter of getting the amount of coffee correct, and making sure that you allow ample time for the coffee to steep.Definitely recommended.

Question: how did they fit?

When I first opened the package with these gloves, they looked huge. However, upon putting these one these fit my hands perfectly. Having said that, I have large hands, so someone with small hands might find these very large. These gloves are thick, but not too thick where you can't handle anything. These are nicer than mitt style gloves as you are able to handle things better with fingers. The silicone grips give you an extra amount of grip. These would be great for canning, along with already being great for grilling or handling hot items coming out of the oven. Recommended to anyone who cooks, grills, cans, or anyone that needs to handle anything hot or cold. I rate these 5 stars.

Question: What comes in handy for many things?

This scraper comes in handy for so many things. I mostly use it for putting chopped foods into whatever I am cooking, but I do use it for baking and sometimes measuring. I tend to get this out when I start cooking without even thinking about it.I have started rolling out biscuit dough into a square and using this scraper to cut it into square biscuits. Not that it takes much time with a biscuit cutter, but it goes faster and I only roll out the dough once (better biscuits). This also makes handling doughs easier than trying to use both hands. I've also used it to slice cookie dough and it works great.I like the handle a lot. It's easy to hold and use.This is not the most innovative item for the kitchen, but it is well worth having. I'd bet anyone would be happy having this scraper in their kitchen!

Question: How many children does the author have?

I love this item. It is perfect and beautiful. The best part is, its plastic. First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. With this cake plate I don't have to worry about it being too heavy or shattering under little hands.Its perfect for displaying your baked creations on the dining room table or you want to take your treats pool side. This is ideal for parties - desserts, crudites, cheese platters, trifle and so much more. I must admit though I don't think I would use it for punch. I tested it with water and it seems fine but with my rambunctious crew its not the smartest move.Perfect for mom with little ones who love to bake.

Question: does the hamilton beach model work as well as their prior opener?

I've used "safety" style can openers for many years and I love the concept. Regular electric can openers seem like an outdated concept to me and I've no idea why people (nor the industry) don't clamor for more of these! I love being able to wash out my cans for recycling without fear of cutting my hands in the process!My last one was a Krups that worked well and lasted a very long time, but all good things must come to an end so when it came time to replace it, I found my only option was a hand-held (which I also have as a back-up) and this Hamilton Beach model. I bought this Hamilton Beach and though I guess I'd have to say it served its purpose in the beginning, it never seemed to work as flawlessly as my old openers.Problems:Occasionally it wouldn't "bite" onto the can, which left me wrestling with the can and the opener to get it to seat properly.Within a matter of months, the cutters went dull (my diagnosis). I found myself having to push up and hold the bottom of the can and let the can spin multiple times while it was cutting, otherwise, the lid would not remove from the can. In the last couple of months, I've had to follow-up with the hand-crank can opener to finish the job.I've been putting up with that for quite awhile and now, it seems that it's given up the ghost for good. Now when it spins, little sharp slivers are left behind: on my counter, on the can opener, on the can, and into my hand (hurting like little splinters) and I suspect they would have gotten into the food too, but... (fortunately in this case) the can never was opened.I've barely had ONE-YEAR of use from this can opener (14-months to be exact). Maybe that's acceptable for some people these days, but not for me. I expect my purchases to last longer.

Question: Where did they find the pan?

I own this pan in the 8" and just love it. I was looking for a good quality egg pan and this is it! I use it everyday. All the teflon on my other pans eventually peeled up and I was afraid we were eating the product! I tried other types of pan, but my eggs always stuck. I went down to the outlet and found this pan. Yes, it was pricey but if I never have to buy another egg pan...I'm happy.The very first time I used it for my eggs, they did seem to stick a bit and I started to get discouraged...don't. The pan will season itself with each cooking. By just the third time of egg cooking... no sticking what so ever! The pan has a nice beefy weight feel to it without being heavy and looks beautiful. I could not be without this pan anymore. Le Creuset continues to make high quality products and you will not be disappointed with their non stick pans.Update: I did purchase the 12" too. Needed more room for cooking eggs for more than one person. Just as perfect as the 8" no sticking what so ever even with the first use on this pan. Definitely my favorite pans. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a superior non stick.

Yes, it was pricey but if I never have to buy another egg pan...I'm happy.The very first time I used it for my eggs, they did seem to stick a bit and I started to get discouraged...don't. The pan will season itself with each cooking. By just the third time of egg cooking... no sticking what so ever! The pan has a nice beefy weight feel to it without being heavy and looks beautiful. I could not be without this pan anymore. Le Creuset continues to make high quality products and you will not be disappointed with their non stick pans.Update: I did purchase the 12" too. Needed more room for cooking eggs for more than one person. Just as perfect as the 8" no sticking what so ever even with the first use on this pan. Definitely my favorite pans. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a superior non stick.


Question: What age of child would be capable of damaging the product's handle?

One of the better things about getting things from Vine is when manufacturers improve a flawed product and need reviews of the perfected version. Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups.As it happens, I had the older version of this cup in my kitchen cabinet (see photo), and while I didn't have quite the strong negative reaction those early reviewers had, the deficiencies of having a handle a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup.In general, a nice set of cups and a good improvement.

Answer: 3 year old

Question: What animal's hair did the vacuum pull out of the jute rug?

I really like this machine. Really, really like it. And I hate vacuums. It's unnatural how much I like it. It works great, is convenient, and happens to be the best value I could find.The handle release switch almost caused me to return it, but I figured it out after two uses. Here's how to make it work smoothly: * Press the handle forward, * Press the release switch with your whole foot (it takes some pressure; toes won't work, but the outside of my right foot works fine), and * gently pull the handle back.Follow the manual and use a height setting that lets the brushes just contact the carpet to avoid burning up belts. Scrubbing the carpet at a low height doesn't clean better and wears both the machine and the carpet out faster.PROS:** Using attachments is convenient; they don't stick out and stay where they're put. Switching from floor to attachments is easy, too, and the suction is great. I'm surprised how much I like the power paw.** Nothing will revive my 15 year old carpet, but this really cleans deeply. It even pulled the cat hair out of the jute area rug, which has no pile.** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap. When using attachments I unclip the cord so it comes from the bottom and won't tip the machine over.** The cord is long enough; I only have to move the plug once to do my 1500 square foot apartment.** The brush roll stops when the handle is upright and you can switch it off when you're pushing the vacuum around unplugged. Few vacuums in this price range have that option.** It takes up less room in the closet than my canister vac did.** It's heavy duty, which means it's not great for someone who's frail or has back/shoulder problems. But heavy means solid, which is what I want.CONS:** It's a vacuum cleaner. Really, I hate vacuums, though this one inspires me to clean more often.THINGS I DON'T CARE ABOUT:Noise (I hate vacuums, remember?), hose length (could have bought the GZ instead), hard floor cleaning (don't need it).Overall I'm very satisfied. I bought an extended warranty but don't expect to need it.

Question: Does this person have a husband or wife?

I have used this product for the last 6 months without any issues.Since we have a septic system and not public sewers it is very important to me that nothing but water goes down the drain. It is absolutely amazing as to what this tiny little thing strains and keeps from my septic system.I have very long hair and before I bought this I would have to pull up my stopper things and pull the collected hair off of it since my sink would start draining slow after a couple of weeks. It was a pain to do. With this it is simple and easy to keep stuff from going down the drain.And if you are prone to dropping earrings or rings slipping off of your finger, then this product is a MUST ---I never have to get my husband to unhook the pipes to fish out my errant earrings ever again!

Question: What are the benefits of the probe?

I use this for homebrewing after reviewing several thermometers out there. This one is great because the probe can withstand to be in the liquid and is long enough to do the job. It also features and on/off switch which a lot fo the others out there do not so you can save on some batteries, even though the draw is minimal as I use this thing a lot and am still on the same battery (thankfully it only uses 1 AAA and comes with it). If you are a homebrewer, get this one. You won't be sorry.

Question: Does the author like 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: What is this product?

To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. If you do overflow do not try to clean it right away - you'll make a battery mess. Wait for it to harden - the maker will be hot so this will not take long. The mess will then flake right off.3. Do not expect the timer to tick off evenly - it will tick off the first couple lights slowly and then the rest comparatively quickly. You have to keep an eye on it.Having said all of that, I love this waffle maker. I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. Clean-up and storage is very easy if you wait to clean it up until after it cools and any spilt batter has gotten crusty. Now if I could only find the perfect batter.....

Question: How much bacon does the cooker hold?

I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. It's much more convenient than the ones on which you have to put each slice vertically in a slat. The fat does drip off adequately; and it is dishwasher friendly, if you wipe it with a paper towel first. As with all microwave bacon cookers, the fat does pop and splatter through the microwave, but you have to leave it uncovered for maximum crispness. It cooks and cleans well. After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.

Answer: about 7-8 slices

Question: What noise level is produced when the lid is closed?

Was looking for a lidded trashcan to hold a decent amount of baby diapers without being too large. I have the smaller (4.5 L) and larger (30L) Simple Human trash cans, an wanted something in between that would hold smells in well.Baby's not here yet to test with diapers, but we tried it out with food garbage. Unlike some of the other Simple Human trashcans meant for the kitchen, I think the heft of the metal lid on this one keep smells more well contained. Size is just right for our needs. Love that the lid closes slowly and quietly, so it won't wake up baby. Retro design is awesome, but a little bulky.Expensive, but a very good quality product.

Question: Where is the knife made?

Well, I was skeptical because the price was so low, but this is a real knife.Pros:+ Blade incredibly sharp+ Sheath is solid wood+ Sheath fits blade like a glove+ Knife is light weightCons:- Handle is slightly rough- Handle is not solid wood? (wood fibre?)- Super-light handle throws off balanceThe strong point of this knife is its blade. It's made in japan and razor sharp. This knife is at least 10x as sharp as any knives you would find at your local department store even if you paid double the price. The combination of sharpness and light weight makes this knife incredibly dangerous, and coincidentally, really effective at its intended function.So, in the end, even though this knife is not perfect, it has quality where it counts, and the price is amazing. It is easily five stars at this price, and would make a great little gift for someone who likes to snack on fruit or vegetables, as long as their dexterity is good =)

Question: Is this rack cheap or expensive?

Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks. People complained that they broke, got mildew and were hard to assemble etc. Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. Construction is sturdy and durable. Easy clean up...I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down. When closed the drying rack takes up very little space and fits neatly back in the box.The item arrived as promised and in good condition. I've used it once and am quite pleased.

Question: What is the brand name of the other mitt purchased?

I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. Both mitts are very good oven protection. I like the silicon ribs - much better than traditional padded fabric mitts. This one is more flexible and softer than the Oxo mitt, so it's easier to grab a pan out of the oven. However, after two years, the twill fabric on the Calphalon mitt is pulling apart at the outside seam near my little finger, exposing about 2 inches of the inside padding. It is still usable, since the seams are intact around the thumb where burns are most likely to occur. But I expected it to last longer than 2 years. Both mitts have been used daily, and both have occasionally been run through the washing machine, but the Oxo mitt still looks almost new, while the Calphalon mitt may not make it through the next wash. So I recommend buying the Oxo mitt instead of this one.

Question: What has faded after one wash?

I bought the twin... the color tone is different than shown and the patterns noticeably clash. I've grown to like it, but I considered returning it.The quilt is definitely over-sized (which I like). The twin is really a full-size.I'm happy that its not stiff like some quilts can be. It also a bit warmer than most quilts and comforters... good for cold-natured sleepers.I am disappointed on the quality though. I washed it once on cold and its already noticeably faded. Also, the stitching on the sham is fraying. :/ For the price, I expected better.----UPDATE: I've had this for 3 months, and the fading has not increased. The quilt itself has not frayed, and the fraying on the sham seems isolated to that same very small section. I thought you might want to know that the twin quilt shrank a bit and is closer to is claimed twin-size than originally.The clashing patterns reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason, but its quirkiness is why I've grown to like it. I've had several quilts, and they all have different patterns sewn together. Yet, this one is unique, because the patterns seem somewhat random. They are just all different floral patterns.

I bought the twin... the color tone is different than shown and the patterns noticeably clash. I've grown to like it, but I considered returning it.The quilt is definitely over-sized (which I like). The twin is really a full-size.I'm happy that its not stiff like some quilts can be. It also a bit warmer than most quilts and comforters... good for cold-natured sleepers.I am disappointed on the quality though. I <hl> washed it once on cold <hl> and its already noticeably faded. Also, the stitching on the sham is fraying. :/ For the price, I expected better.----UPDATE: I've had this for 3 months, and the fading has not increased. The quilt itself has not frayed, and the fraying on the sham seems isolated to that same very small section. I thought you might want to know that the twin quilt shrank a bit and is closer to is claimed twin-size than originally.The clashing patterns reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason, but its quirkiness is why I've grown to like it.

Question: What did the author also get?

I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great! I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth. I was grateful I was able to find a tablecloth long enough to fit comfortably over my table (the tablecloth is 60" x 124"). It also seems like it will not be ripped up as quickly as some of the more flimsy plastic tablecloths I have had on the table. Nevertheless, I purchased a second tablecloth as a backup. They were reasonable enough.

Question: How many storage towers did I buy?

I bought two of these for use in a couple of library buildings to hold plastic grocery bags for people to take and carry their items in. I was very impressed with the ingenuity that went into these storage towers. They assemble VERY easily, they are sturdy, and they hold quite a bit of stuff in a very small footprint. I think these would be useful for all sorts of things - toys, pantry items, garage storage, etc. The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal. One call to Richell and they had one shipped out to me. Highly recommended!

Question: What rating did the user give the machine?

I have a very mixed review of this cleaner. It cleans beautifully-I have no complaints in that area. My complaint is with how the cleaner is designed and manufactured. The handle to the dirty water tank immediately began to give me problems. The second use of the machine, the handle fell off. It is not fixable as the cheap plastic broke off. The design of the thing is very strange-I haven't a clue why they did it that way. Also, the caddie that holds the tools I find to be very inconvieniant. It doesn't hold the hose very well and is mostly in the way. The only reason I rated the machine 3 was the cleaning ability. I am pleased (so far) with how well it cleans.

Question: What kind of warranty does this product have?

Recently received it and used it three times so far. Simple to operate. Gave a very quick reading. Seems accurate enough for my purposes. Gave an accurate reading of room temperature just by turning it on! Good for measuring cold as well as heat. My only concern is that it seems very light weight and possibly easy to "break" unless handled carefully. I store it in a drawer that is not often opened, to prevent it being unnecessarily shaken around by a slammed drawer. Just my opinion. I do really like it but will treat it gently and hope it lasts a good long time. It does have a 5 year limited warranty!

Question: Does Circulon only work on induction?

These are beautiful. I love the professional look of steel cookware but wanted the convenience of Circulon's great nonstick interior. This is my second set of Circulon. My other set is over 4 years old and still looks new but has the hard anodized exterior, I plan on handing that down to a friend. I cook a lot and have company for dinner several times a month so I like showing these off. I have an induction cook top and you cannot beat the Circulon with stainless steel base for even cooking on induction. Of course it works on gas and electric too. By the way these are heavy mainly because of the wonderful stainless steel base, some people don't like that but I feel it's a sign of the quality and induction option.

Question: What did they see in Crate and Barrell?

I saw a pizelle maker in Crate and Barrell and the associate convinced me how delicious they were, and that they were an italian tradition. My husband has italian heritage so I was easily convinced to get one. C&B was backordered for 4 months. I looked on Amazon and bought the same brand, which I am exceptionally please that I did. I love, love, love my pizzelle maker! I got the recipe on Allrecipes.com. A helpful hint is to put the batter towards the back half of the hot grill plate and as you close the lid, it will ooze forward. It really doesn't take a lot of batter. I also realized that they use these for ice cream bowls. Man, you can't go wrong with it!

Question: What does this cup eliminate?

I drink coffee every morning and usually I make it for the week (I am not a connoisseur) and refrigerate it. Sometimes I have cold coffe but most of the time I heat it up. I used to have to heat it up in a secondary cup, then pour it into my travel mug (stainless steel etc). This cup eliminates that step entirely. It is awesome. It doesn't close and it works pretty much exactly like the cup you get at a coffee house but this has a screw top lid and sealing gasket. They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. I pop them in the dishwasher without worrying about the little crevasses.One huge warning! This cup is so great in the microwave you cannot accurately judge how hot the liquid is inside, you can't feel any of the heat! Don't burn your mouth!

Question: What did this person buy?

This is a great knife. It's as sharp as anything I've ever owned, and trust me I've spent way too much on knives in my life. I like this one better than knives that cost closer to $150. I'm not sure how the edge will hold because I didn't order the sharpener at the time of order (it's in my cart now). I usually sharpen my knives pretty often -- once a week or so. I'll be interested to see how the blade holds on this little guy. Heck, I think I'll just order another --maybe a smaller sized one to try.

Question: What purpose did I buy 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 type of product is the writer not excited about?

I am afraid that I just don't understand the attraction of this fan. I have now tried it a few days on all sorts of settings and positions in a bedroom (14x18ft) and the fan has very little cooling effect. I guess it might be a little quieter than some fans (on settings of 2 or lower) but otherwise I don't see the value. It has a minimal dispersion pattern and since it doesn't oscillate (which I knew ahead of time) it only flows air in a very, very limited area. I read all these reports about how strong the fan was but believe me this unit is not strong. As a simple test I stood 10/11 feet from the fan with it set on number 3 and lit a candle - the flame did not even flicker. Need I say more? Simply put - since it is considerably more expensive than competing models - it just is not worth the money.

Question: what part of the device is deeper than the rest?

This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. You need a reasonable size workspace to assemble it, and if you have a couple decks of cards or thin books it helps because the base is deeper than the unit as a whole. It went together quickly. The only thing that's a bit quirky is that if you're using it just to store CDs, the vertical openings aren't uniform. If you use it with more flexible opening for other things, you won't notice it.

Question: How many minutes did they cook their chicken at 450 degrees?

You used to be able to find folding racks like this at the local hardware store, even the grocery store, but those days are gone here in that retail desert between the Hudson and the west coast. Thank you, Amazon, for carrying this. It fits perfectly in my oval roaster pan. I used it at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes of roasting the chicken in the oven (turned it down to 350 for the rest of the time) and it emerged fine, coating intact. Clean up was easier than easy (I did spray it with vegetable oil first).

Question: What can't the reviewer remember to do with the fan?

It's a great little fan and it sits on my desk blowing a gentle breeze my way right now. I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity.

Question: How is the lid locked?

Overall, this is a great trash can. It's attractive, or at least not ugly. It's big, using a 30 or 33 gallon bag, meaning more room for large stuff and less overflow between bag changes. The lid has a latch that can be slid into place that prevents opening, in case you have curious/smart toddlers/dogs (we do).The one negative is that the interior walls are not smooth, and in some places have horizontal beams that provide strength, but also catch the stuff in the bag when you are pulling it out, and can easily rip the bag if things are wedged in tight.If this thing had smooth inner walls, I'd give it 5 (or even 6) stars, but having a snag-y interior seems like a big oversight for a trash can. We still like it very much, but wanted to point out this one issue for other potential buyers.

Question: What product is the writer reviewing?

OK, I've been a Keurig fan for some time. I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop. I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling. Adding the ability to add this water connection was the best part!It took me just minutes to hook this unit up. I had a water line setup for my retired Bunn automatic, so it was a matter of installing this kit, attaching a water line adapter (sold separately,) attached the water line and I was ready to go.One thing to remember... it's important to completely unplug your brewer before attaching this unit. Simply using the power switch will not cause the brewer to recognize the direct connection.I would highly recommend this option to anyone... I'm so glad I'm no longer spilling water, dealing with internal filters or worrying about getting air into the system... based upon our level of usage, this was a great choice!
